Rent-Free Landlords Week 17 December 23, 1997 RFL WEEK IN REVIEW *** SPECIAL PLAYOFFS EDITION *** ********************************************************************** Playoffs in Review -------- -- ------ AGLIONE BOWL VIII ***************** Landlord Luggage 42 Chortling Tushy Whackers 18 In one of the more lopsided Aglione Bowl games of recent memory, 3rd year GM John Wilson's Luggage rolls over a hapless Tushy Whackers outfit, led by Dave Brodkin in his 8th RFL campaign. Luggage got it done despite going without MVP-to-be RB Terrell Davis. RB Marshall Faulk was the hero for the 3rd week in a row, scoring 15 points once again. WR Cris Carter, however, reclaimed the WR scoring title with his game-high 18 points. The win is Wilson's first Aglione Bowl in 2 playoff appearances, having won the 3rd place game last season. banks 3 hebron 0 faulk15 davis 0 carter 18 bruener 0 boniol 6 mcnair 0 jones 0 moore 3 bruce 0 freeman 6 drayton 0 anderson 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd Place ********* Gaseous Wombats 23 The Surge 14 The Surge collapses again, as the Wombats bounce back and give GM Joe Pynadath his money back.

Thanks to all for playing this year, and hope to see you back around next season. There are currently some deliberations whether I will run this league again next season or not, the najor factor being the overburdening time expenditures. The updates are likely going to be dumbed down a bit next season in order for me to be able to do it. Unless.... anyone would like to take over the duties??? ----- * Entry Fees Joe Pynadath - gets off the hook with $50 3rd place prize. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be wombats. Josh Veshia - currently spreading "check's in the mail" rumor Tim Purwin - hooray! Purwin paid up and was directly rewarded with a scrub win extraordinaire in the Bay of Pigs bowl. ----- MOney Money Money $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ 1- Red Rover (GM Ed Seto) $225 Steamroller, Consolation 3- Landlord Luggage (GM John Wilson) $145 6th Place, Aglione Bowl Champs 2- Team Desai (GMs Snehal/Shivan Desai) $125 2nd place R.S. 4- Dave Brodkin (GM Chortling Tushy Whackers) $105 5th place, Ags Bowl runner-up 8- Bust a Nut by Bombyx (GM Chris Carroll) $ 75 3rd place R.S. 13-Mighty Mighty Gnomes (GM Lance Harry) $ 50 4th place R.S. 5- Gaseous Wombats (GM Joe Pynadath) $ 50 3rd place playoffs 15-The Surge (GM Dylan Steeg) $ 25 4th place playoffs Congratulations to the winners, and count your blessings that you were able to wrestle any of that money away from it's rightful owners, the men of Stoked Salmon.
