This season we're going to be trying a new News & Notes format. Instead of the weekly column (which we all know was more of a "non-column" last season), I'll be doing more of a blog-type column. That is, whenever the mood strikes, be it stats night on Wednesday, the middle of the 4PM game on Sunday, or maybe even a Thursday morning before I leave for work, I'll come here and post entries. Sometimes it will be a paragraph or two, sometimes longer.
I'll make sure I put a date on everything so you can easily tell what's new from what you may have already read. So feel free to come to this page often, or continue checking in once a week as the stats update, to check out and catch up on the latest entries in what I hope to be a season long "All My Rowdy" blog.
If anyone else has anything to contribute, I'll be more than happy to post it here, with all credit given to the author of course. And if we get one of our infamous 20+ reply e-mail threads going, I may also opt to copy that into this space as well so it's saved for all posterity.

Week 17 Results
Best One 62, Dark Side Of The Warren Moon 48
Russ "Mr." Jones completes his worst in 2005 to first in 2006 run! Congratulations to Russ on his first Rowdy Friends championship! It might also be noted that Best One made just one transaction all season on their way to the title (of course that's not counting the transaction Russ made with the voodoo priestess to jinx The Commish after that first SI cover!). Now if that's not some motivation to do some homework before the next draft I don't know what is. To the victor goes the spoils! A platter of our finest meats and cheeses is in the mail as I write this... As for Joe & Charlie, they get the silver medal, their 4th overall 2nd place finish, including playing bridesmaids in both of the last two seasons. Charlie and Joe in bridesmaid dresses? Now there's a visual we really didn't need!
The Return Of The Binder 64, Pam And Da Boyz 43
The Binder Boyz grab the win, the final high points weekly dollar and 2nd high points overall. A fine $14 week as consolation for finishing in 3rd place. Pam And Da Boyz drop to 5th place with the loss but Ken's got his N-Cubed Division title to brag about all winter. Please make it a quick winter...
Southern Discomfort 28, Hell Froze Over 27
Legere South grabs 4th place overall with the victory. Marc falls "out of the money" but receives the "Comeback Owner of the Year" award with his strong showing after being out of the game so long... With the 28 points they scored against Hell Froze Over, Southern Discomfort brought their season points total to 666. Coincidence? I think not...
Claretts Innocent 42, Soft 20 37
The usually spendy Neil goes through the entire season making just one transaction and leaves with a 7th place finish to show for it... For Brian Boghosian, his football record stands at .500 for the season (7 - 7 - 3) but he'd be only a few points of a Western Conference hockey playoff spot with those 3 shootout losses...
Favrefegnugen 61, Touchback Mountain 29
Don & John rally late for a 2nd place finish in the N-Cubed division, allowing John Wrobel to grab "Rookie Owner Of The Year" honors. Of course he went uncontested but at least he finished over .500!... San Fran Rob finishes in 10th place overall but wins the "Best Owner On The Left Coast" award, finishing a game ahead of Mike Flinn for the honor...
We Was Robbed 60, The First And Goalfather Part 3 43
The Brothers Flinn (and their good friend Jim) score 60 but are only the 4th highest scoring team in the league's final week, a week usually reserved for low scores as most of the NFL starters sit on the bench. Sean Flinn garners a strong write-in campaign to finish in 2nd place in Rookie Of The Year voting... Fabrizio hands his defending champion ring over to Russ and closes the season with 5 straight losses. He immediately ships himself a horses head and calls Tom Coughlin for coaching tips...
Go Nuts 31, The Croc Hunters 7
Bruce & Alex defeat The Commish and Kev in a rematch and manage to move up a spot to 12th place with the win. Statistical oddities to note here are Go Nuts WR Keenan McCardell stayed on the roster the whole season but never scored any points. Also, the 3 wins for the Croc Hunters (including a "gimme win" in Week 1 after they loaded up on Draft Day with all the guys who had scored the previous Thursday), places them in a tie for worst single season record ever with Ian Morris' 1995's Prior Engagement and Dave Kang's 1997's King Kang Kong, a season in which Mr. Kang went from first-to-worst, the reverse of what Mr. Jones accomplished this season. Hey Kevin, I hear the Dolphins might be needing a coach, you're free to explore that option if it pleases you. Oh wait, sorry Bruce, I shouldn't be doing this to you...
