!!CONGRATULATIONS PTS ON GETTING HIGH SCORE FOR WEEK FOUR!!
MANTLE OF MAGNIFICENCE
In Week 4 we now have only 2 undefeated teams. Two Teams have only know this Magnificent winning place! Finally, a team from the cellar arrives on the Mantle; welcome, may your stay be long and prosperous:
(PTS (4-0)⭐⭐⭐🤺), (TIU(3-1) ⭐⭐⭐🏈 🤺), (KED(1-3) 🏈 🤺), (NUT (4-0)⭐⭐⭐⭐🤺🤺), (DNF(2-2) ⭐⭐🏈), and (CAB (2-2)) in order of points scored.
CELLAR OF SHAME
Two teams have never known what winning feels like. They exist only in purgatory; quickly becoming used to the terrifying confines of the Cellar and the Shame it brings upon their franchise. We welcome a "winning" team, a team that didn't make the cut, finally, after 3 weeks. Welcome to this frustrating and unforgiving place:
(TMW (3-1)⭐⭐⭐⭐), (MTT (0-4) ), (JWW (0-4) ⭐⭐⭐), (DMM (2-2) 🏈), (RAF(1-3) 🏈), and (UGG (1-3) ⭐) in order of losing points scored.
(KEY: 🤺-Top 5 Defense/ST, 🏈-Top 5 Kicker, ⭐-Top 5 Player Q/R/W/T)

DFFL WEEK 4 AWARDS
Tyson Award. Nite, Nite! Thleep Tight!
- PTS (2) beat JWW by over 85 points in Week 4 making this the biggest knockout of the season thus far. At 4-0, Hops Division leading PTS continues to crush the opposition.
2023: RAF (1), TMW (1), PTS (2)
Historical: JWW 139.88
Cliffhanger Award. By the skin of your teeth and newly discovered hair loss!
- DNF (1) beats RAF in Week 4 by the slimmest of margins, 21.3. Actually this isn't that close, but the wins in Week 4 were all fairly significant - every winning team crushed their losing opponent.
2023: UGG (1), NUT (2), DNF (1)
Historical: “The Tie”’19 (CAB vs RAF); “Halloween Howler.84”’22 (TMW vs NUT)
Maguire Award. Show me the Money!
- PTS (1) wins the $30 bank for Week 24, blasting through the 200 marker, getting the high score at 208.70. This is also the highest score of the season to this point. Between PTS, TMW, TIU and NUT, the points just seem too easy to come by this year.
2023: TIU (1), TMW (2), PTS (1)
Historical: DNF 246.5
Meme Award. When your best isn’t good enough, but makes for great jokes!
- UGG (1) nabs the MEME in Week 4 getting barely over 70 points!! 72.4 to be exact. Just about every player UGG put into play was underwhelming to a massive extent. The Cincy offense is just not what we thought it was; perhaps UGG can right the ship and get some points on the board next week.
2023: MTT (1), RAF (2), UGG (1)
Historical: MTT 55.82 (Wk1/2023), OIE (MTT) 66.04.
Shamrock Award. I found me 4-leaf clover, and though small, I be a winner!
- CAB (2), wins his second Shamrock in a row for getting by his opposition with the lowest winning score in Week 4, 129.12. I wonder if the luck will ever run out??
2023: UGG (1), PTS (1), CAB (2)
Historical: CAB 102.7
TY-SHAM: PTSvsRAF(wk2 138.02).
Red Shirt Award. Starfleet security officer taking one for CAPT Kirk.
- TMW (1) gets the Red Shirt this week for the highest score in a losing effort, 139.66. So sad that TMW Red Shirt sits gloomily in the Hall of Not Enough Luck!
2023: DMM (1), KED (2), TMW (1)
Historical: NUT 205.10 (Halloween Howler, Oct22)
Mojo Award. “Yeah, Baby!” Best pickup or start/sit decisions.
- CAB (1) gets a MOJO this week for starting Seattle's Defense against the New York Giants on MNF, garnering a whopping 33 points!! Congrats. Runners up were PTS's Franchise RB, CMC (56) and TIU's only QB Josh Allen (50).
2023: TMW (1), NUT (1), TIU (1), CAB (1)
Historical: EJT (KAK) 58.25 “FitzMagic”
Noonan Award. “Best Ball Award”...na-na-na-na-naaaa!.
- TMW (1) earns a Noonan Award in Week 4. He grudgingly does this as a result of sitting Nico Collins (37.3) on his bench, and then watching Mike Evans (7.5) get hurt, and Deebo Samuel (1.6) flop - likely because he isn't 100%. Had he played Nico in place of the still-not-well-Deebo, he'd have earned enough points to remain undefeated. He would have beat NUT by the slimmest of margins (3.6), earning a 4-0 record and Cliffhanger Award; quite possibly the Mojo.
2023: MTT (1), JWW (2), TMW (1)
Deck Chairs Award. First Class or Steerage? All equally suck on Titanic!
- UGG (1) gets the unhelpful Deck Chair Award this week for the Aaron Jones trade. It is rather difficult for me to write this, as RAF was the trading partner for UGG two weeks ago. Following the terrible Nick Chubb injury, a desperate UGG Franchise nabbed the second best RB on RAF's trading block - Aaron Jones. While Jones was not quite right with his hammy injury from Week 1, he was still a solid pick-up to replace Chubb. UGG waited until the coaches indicated Aaron Jones was good-to-go. UGG nabbed that deck chair from his IR slot and slid him onto the A-Deck of USS UGGLife. Unfortunately, the Chase was on to Burrow heads into their Tutus. This was disaster early on, and there was very little UGG could do but go down in the unforgiving Sea of Fantasy Irrelevancy….glub, glub, glub….
2023: JWW (1), DMM (1), DNF (1), RAF (1), UGG (1)
After WEEK 4, we have 2 remaining undefeated teams and 2 sad loser teams. BYE weeks are upon us, and changes are a comin! Make those trades! Nab those waiver wire diamonds..yeah, right! Get it right for Week 5....for she's now upon us.
