Well folks, the season is at a close, the seeds are all but set, and I think we can say with some degree of certainty, "they are who we thought they were."

Without further adieu I'd like to announce this season's award for dirtiest player. There were several qualified candidates including half of the New York Jests roster but the award goes Phoenix Blue Suns Center, standing 7'0'' tall, Mr. Linwood Engel. Engel was the runaway leader with a staggering 80 personal fouls this season.

Linwood has this to say: "I would have gotten more, but they kept making me leave the game!"

Linwood averaged a foul every 7.5 minutes of game time. He averaged 4.2 fouls per game, fouled out 7 times and had 4 other games with 5 fouls. Linwood hit 21 more people than he hit field goals throughout the season. Mr. Engel's crowning achievement may have been his August 3rd performance against the New York Jests where he was able to record 1 foul despite being listed as playing 0 minutes.

Reporters at the game recalled the incident: "Sammon Zuhri was going up for a baseline jumper near the Blue Suns bench and Engel just stepped up off the bench and pushed him! Then he started accusing Zuhri of being a terrorist and began making further derogatory remarks."

Sammon Zuhri, who is Saudi Arabian, declined to comment.

To put Engel's incredible season into perspective there is currently a 3 way tie for 2nd place with Pennsylvania Quakers Maciej Lebek, New York Jests Elram Moreno, and Knicktardeder Rens van der Garde each having 67 fouls.

Elram Moreno was quick to comment: "You mean all I have to do is foul as many people as they will let me in the next game and I get second place? AND we're playing the Machines?!? LOCK IT UP BABY!!"

Nicely done.

Hell, Engel had about a third of what my whole team had for fouls.

I know you dont like your chances, but you already pulled off the upset against Heathens. Figure just about everyone is rooting for you too, so good luck tonight.

Nice cup run, it's too bad you missed out on the trophy at the end. That was quite a feat.

Appreciate it. Knew I'd get wrecked in the game, but my refusal to play zones made it that much worse. Not to mention my best ID fouling out in 18 mins or so.

Gawd I wish the playoff restriction on transfers was one day later ><

Now on to losing against the Auerbachs

You do get a nice silver trophy as the runnerup atleast....

Indeed! And once again proves how tough our league is!

Kinda wish they'd do a shakeup of the conference within a division every few seasons or so lol

Kind of was hoping I'd lose tonight. That's how bad a manager I am.

Nothing is guaranteed.

I know I'm going to be favored but it's not a slam dunk win for me.

And congrats for making it 523 rounds further than me in the Cup.
