FFFRENZY 2024: Season 27 - Week 17 Finals Recap

COMMISH'S NOTE (12/31/2024): New Year's Eve, and our season is over. Many teams with $$$ on the line played on the big MNF game. Who came out victorious?? Let's see...

Week 16 Weekly High Score: Well, if you ever want to only have one high score of the week, I suppose having it in the finals is the best time. Congrats to Juice for adding a nice prize at the end of their great season.

MVP & Bench MVPs: Finally, my last reporting of this dumb prize. I am glad to ship some small amounts of cash out to people who won this prize, but I won't be doing this next year. Congrats to Joe Burrow grabbing TITTY TWISTER the MVP Prize. The Bench MVP goes to Baker Mayfield once again, who nets JAR Machine the final $10 prize.

This (familiar) time has come to crown our FFFrenzy 2024 Champion: Juice with the huge week took care of business and defeated Pelican. While Pelican had a great above-average week, there's no beating the league weekly high scorer. Juice will be taking the cash payout and earned a spot on the FFFrenzy Trophy, which will be presented to him on 2025 NFL Playoff Draft Day. This is Juice's fifth championship, and also fifth finals victory. It was a great year for our two top seeds, and they each take home the largest chunk of $$$. Juice cracks the $10K lifetime earnings mark, and Pelican moved up in the average lifetime rankings with their best performing year so far.

In the third place matchup, it was a quiet bettle between JAR Machine and TITTY TWISTER. Unfortunately, the loser takes home ZIP for this, and this year it was TITTY falling to JAR Machine. Both teams had above average scores, and JAR Machine will grab the third place prize and their entry fee back.

The fifth place matchup was a Battle of the Duds. Thanks goodness niether SMASH BROS or JESTERS were in the finals, as it would have made for a most embarassing loss. But in their matchup, it was SMASH BROS limping to victory, destroying JESTERS and grabbing the fifth place prize. Unfrotunately, both of their hideously low scores would have another affect...

In the seventh and no-matter-to-anyone contest, Howling WOOOlf put up the second highest score of the week and beat up on Tijuana Jets. This victory nets no prize, but bragging rights for a position no one ever wanted, save for some poor basement dwellers and a total loser maybe.

In the points standings, Pelican was in no danger of losing the top spot, but they did manage to overtake Mofos for the lifetime most-points-scored-in-a-season title. Congrats. In second place, the horrible showings by SMASH BROS and JESTERS let JAR Machine sneak in and overtake to grab the second place highest total points prize. Congrats to both teams.

As for the Bad Beat prize, no one was unfortunate enough to lose by less than 0.80 point, so Mofos will take this measly prize home. The Commish would say that's a win for a Total Loser season.

Don't forget! The 2025 NFL Playoffs are happening on Wednesday January 8th. Draft will take place at my house. I will be there before 5:30, so plan to be there as soon as you can. The sooner everyone is there, the sooner we can draft. We already have six managers. RSVP to me personally, in the big text thread, or here in this chat if you can make it. I'll keep following up so I have a headcount so I can coordinate the game to fit the # of managers. Entry fee: $100

Thanks again for playing, here's looking forward to Draft Day, September 2025!!
