Playoff Vegas Odds
Playoff Vegas Odds
After a roller coaster season, we are down to nine franchises in the playoffs. Amazingly enough, none of the franchises in the postseason have an experience in the FMFL Playoffs. That being said, the field is wide open. Some of the teams, like Yaz, T-Ferg, and Bummy, come in red hot from the last few weeks of the regular season. Others like Waldo Geraldo Faldo, Larisa Oleynik, and Mr. DeBlasis, need to overcome lackluster results in the final month of the year.
Anything is possible in the playoffs. At the end of four weeks, we’ll have a winner. The following are playoff odds to win the 2009 Funny Money Football Championship, posted at the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas on January 7, 2010:
Art Schlichter12 to 1
Babe9 to 2
Bummy4 to 1
Larisa Oleynik10 to 1
Mr. DeBlasis3 to 1
Rick Moranis1,000 to 1
T-Ferg13 to 1
Waldo Geraldo Faldo15 to 1
Yaz5 to 2

THE POSTSEASON REPORT
(Disclaimer: All of the opinions expressed throughout this report are completely subjective and are the personal views of the Executive Director.)
EAST
Boss Hardigan
Total: -$1,400
Finish: 6th in East
Winning Percentage: .461
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Philadelphia; Week 6 – Lost
Midseason Grade: C+
Comment: Hardigan showed promise the first few weeks of the season, but then fell off after losing his wild card. He got his winning percentage back up towards the end of the year, but it was too little, too late.
Grade: C-
Brian Piccolo
Total: -$1,000
Finish: 4th in East
Winning Percentage: .420
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 7 – Won
Midseason Grade: C-
Comment: Piccolo gained some steam with a half-dozen weeks to go, but at that point was so far behind that he couldn’t get back in the mix. However, he put did win his wild card bet and had no fines the entire year. He’ll look to make his move in 2010.
Grade: C+
Gordon Bombay
Total: -$1,000
Finish: 3rd in East
Winning Percentage: .443
Fines: $800
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 11 – Won
Midseason Grade: D
Comment: For some reason, Bombay didn’t have it this year. Usually a dominating presence in the Funny Money, Gordon hardly made a peep this year. He also had one week without picks, which is quite uncharacteristic for him.
Grade: C
Kimmy Gibbler
Total: -$1,300
Finish: 5th in East
Winning Percentage: .473
Fines: $600
Wild Card: Tennessee; Week 4 – Lost
Midseason Grade: D-
Comment: After digging himself a huge hole, Gibbler got his percentage and his total back up in the second half of the season to make ’09 somewhat respectable. After a huge 2008, this season was disappointing. But, he’ll be back with a vengeance next year.
Grade: C
Larisa Oleynik
Total: $2,000
Finish: 1st in East
Winning Percentage: .568
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Green Bay; Week 7 – Won
Midseason Grade: A-
Comment: In Larisa’s debut season, she got off to a fast start and never looked back. Considering that the rest of the East Division was downright awful, she kept an even keel and had everything locked up with a month to go in the season.
Grade: A-
Teddy KGB
Total: -$300
Finish: 2nd in East
Winning Percentage: .513
Fines: $0
Wild Card: New England; Week 13 – Lost
Midseason Grade: B+
Comment: For the second year in a row, Teddy fell victim to the second half swoon. At the midseason point, he was ready to make his move. Then in November and December, inconsistency and losing his wild card bet spelled doom for KGB.
Grade: C+
The Notorious A.B.T.
Total: -$2,600
Finish: 7th in East
Winning Percentage: .354
Fines: $200
Wild Card: New England; Week 15 – Push
Midseason Grade: D+
Comment: A rookie in the FMFL, the A.B.T. never seemed to get into any type of groove. He did make his mark in one respect – He now holds the record for the lowest single-season winning percentage (formerly held by the Beard of Zeus at .368).
Grade: D
NORTH
Art Schlichter
Total: $1,800
Finish: 2nd in North; Wild Card Berth
Winning Percentage: .628
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 8 – Lost
Midseason Grade: B-
Comment: Art came close to breaking the record for highest single-season winning percentage and was just a few bad beats out of winning the division. Despite losing his wild card bet, he still made the playoffs and hovered around $1,500 for most of the second half of the season.
Grade: A-
Babe
Total: $2,400
Finish: 1st in North
Winning Percentage: .618
Fines: $200
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 12 – Won
Midseason Grade: B+
Comment: With a strong final two weeks, Babe won the North Division. The only reason he didn’t get an A is because of his Week 17 tardiness. Being fined $100 in the last week of the season ended up costing him the overall title.
Grade: A-
Blossom Russo
Total: $200
Finish: 7th in North
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $200
Wild Card: Minnesota; Week 5 – Won
Midseason Grade: D
Comment: This was the first year that Blossom refrained from writing humorous emails to the Executive Director with his picks every week. This was the worst he has ever performed. Coincidence? I think not.
Grade: B-
Bummy
Total: $1,700
Finish: 3rd in North; Wild Card Berth
Winning Percentage: .571
Fines: $200
Wild Card: Green Bay; Week 16 – Won
Midseason Grade: B
Comment: A solid December, including a big wild card win in Week 16, put Bummy in position to challenge for the divisional crown. Though he fell a bit short, he will make his first postseason appearance.
Grade: A-
Karl Farbman
Total: $300
Finish: 6th in North
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Pittsburgh; Week 16 – Push
Midseason Grade: C
Comment: Farbman struggled with consistency all season long, which culminated with a push on his wild card bet in Week 16. He finished the year exactly .500, but that won’t get it done in the FMFL.
Grade: B-
Mr. Marbles
Total: $1,000
Finish: 4th in North
Winning Percentage: .553
Fines: $0
Wild Card: New England; Week 13 – Lost
Midseason Grade: A-
Comment: Take out Week 13 in which Marbles lost $1,000, and he would have been right in the thick of things. But, he lost his wild card bet and set himself back from the pack. Kudos for a good late season run to give himself a chance in Week 17.
Grade: B+
The 21th Precinct
Total: $700
Finish: 5th in North
Winning Percentage: .475
Fines: $100
Wild Card: San Francisco; Week 17 – Won
Midseason Grade: C+
Comment: The Precinct waited too long to turn it on in 2009. He won $1,000 in the final week of the season, but he was too far behind to challenge for a playoff spot. Much like some of the other franchises in the North, he seemed to struggle each week when trying to put two correct bets together.
Grade: B
SOUTH
Chris B. Corey
Total: -$4,900
Finish: 7th in South
Winning Percentage: .462
Fines: $3,600
Wild Card: Dallas; Week 10 – Lost
Midseason Grade: D+
Comment: Set the record for most fines, lowest total, and being the biggest blowhard.
Grade: F
Love Doctor
Total: -$2,700
Finish: 6th in South
Winning Percentage: .371
Fines: $700
Wild Card: New England; Week 13 – Lost
Midseason Grade: C-
Comment: In the Love Doctor’s first season, he just couldn’t get on track. He forgot to bet one week and that paired with a wild card loss was too much for him to handle. Hopefully the good Doctor will be back in 2010.
Grade: D
Mr. DeBlasis
Total: $2,000
Finish: 3rd in South; Wild Card Berth
Winning Percentage: .598
Fines: $100
Wild Card: Jacksonville; Week 13 – Won
Midseason Grade: B-
Comment: After a few years of hanging around the cusp of the playoffs, Mr. DeBlasis finally made “the leap” this year. He stumbled in the neck-and-neck race for the division, but still made the playoffs. A good year all around.
Grade: A-
Slovy Maximus
Total: -$1,800
Finish: 5th in South
Winning Percentage: .440
Fines: $0
Wild Card: NY Giants; Week 14 – Lost
Midseason Grade: B-
Comment: Much like his brother (Boss Hardigan), Slovy didn’t have it in 2009. But he went down with the ship, losing his wild card on his beloved G-Men.
Grade: D+
The People’s Champ
Total: -$900
Finish: 4th in South
Winning Percentage: .485
Fines: $1,500
Wild Card: Cleveland; Week 17 – Won
Midseason Grade: C
Comment: $1,500 in fines. Pathetic. For the self-proclaimed “People’s Champ,” he’ll have a long road to regaining his title next season.
Grade: D+
Waldo Geraldo Faldo
Total: $2,100
Finish: 2nd in South; Wild Card Berth
Winning Percentage: .565
Fines: $100
Wild Card: New Orleans; Week 7 – Won
Midseason Grade: A-
Comment: Solid winning percentage, made his move midseason and will be in the playoffs. But, he had a historic collapse in Week 17, losing his divisional lead to Yaz (who he led by $1,800 with two weeks to go).
Grade: A-
Yaz
Total: $2,200
Finish: 1st in South
Winning Percentage: .618
Fines: $200
Wild Card: San Francisco; Week 17 – Won
Midseason Grade: B+
Comment: Yaz came out of nowhere down the stretch to steal the South Division title from Waldo and Mr. DeBlasis. He won $1,000, shot up the standings, and shocked everyone. Without a few weeks of falling asleep and forgetting to bet, he would’ve been a hair off of the pace for the overall title.
Grade: A
WEST
Bayonnaise
Total: -$400
Finish: 5th in West
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $900
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 7 – Won
Midseason Grade: B
Comment: The ‘Naise had an up and down year. He was in prime position with three weeks to go and promptly lost $500 for two consecutive weeks and then didn’t bet in Week 17. If he gets his fine money down, he could be a force to be reckoned with next year.
Grade: B-
Don Mattingly
Total: $900
Finish: 4th in West
Winning Percentage: .526
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 15 – Won
Midseason Grade: B+
Comment: Things were going swimmingly for Donnie Baseball, who won his wild card in Week 15 and looked as if we was going to coast into the playoffs. But then it all came crumbling down in Week 17. He lost $500 and was bounced from the postseason party. That being said, a solid year in his return to the league.
Grade: B+
Kenny Powers
Total: -$700
Finish: 6th in West
Winning Percentage: .452
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 5 – Won
Midseason Grade: B
Comment: Kenny had flashes of brilliance this year, but struggled to break out of a funk around the midway point of the season. Extra points for calling the Executive Director, “Godfather,” in public this year.
Grade: B-
Rick Moranis
Total: $2,500
Finish: 1st in West; Overall Champion
Winning Percentage: .582
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Did Not Use
Midseason Grade: A
Comment: Do you believe in miracles? The league’s sorriest franchise before the season began, Rick rose up and won the overall championship. Next stop: the playoffs. Congratulations.
Grade: A
T-Ferg
Total: $1,900
Finish: 2nd in West; Wild Card Berth
Winning Percentage: .557
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Atlanta; Week 17 – Won
Midseason Grade: B+
Comment: A great rookie season for T-Ferg, who was Rick’s strongest opposition during the season. He looks to have this whole football gambling thing figured out. No fines throughout the year and he won his wild card bet in the last week of the seaosn.
Grade: A-
The Beard of Zeus
Total: $1,300
Finish: 3rd in West
Winning Percentage: .526
Fines: $600
Wild Card: Cleveland; Week 14 – Won
Midseason Grade: C-
Comment: Take out one week in which the Beard forgot to bet (-$600) and he would’ve been right there for the playoffs. A vast improvement in his sophomore season, whoever he engages in battle next year should be scared.
Grade: A-
The Phoenix
Total: -$1,600
Finish: 7th in West
Winning Percentage: .429
Fines: $800
Wild Card: Seattle; Week 12 – Won
Midseason Grade: C-
Comment: Another year, more fine money for the Phoenix. Thanks for the donation to the Funny Money Football Fund.
Grade: D+

The Midseason Report
2009 Funny Money Football League
THE MIDSEASON REPORT
(Disclaimer: All of the opinions expressed throughout this report are completely subjective and are the personal views of the Executive Director.)
EAST
Boss Hardigan
Total: $100
Winning Percentage: .600
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Philadelphia; Week 6 – Lost
Comment: Hardigan has showed signs of life in 2009, but the last few weeks he has been hovering around mediocrity. He already used his WC and will need to get hot in the second half if he wants to make a run at the division.
Grade: C+
Brian Piccolo
Total: -$500
Winning Percentage: .429
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 7 – Won
Comment: A few weeks ago, Brian was left for dead in the cellar of the division. Since then he has won his wild card bet and has avoided falling further away from the rest of the division. He has been a letdown overall, and needs to make up a $2,000 deficit. But I’ve seen stranger things happen in less time.
Grade: C-
Gordon Bombay
Total: -$500
Winning Percentage: .409
Fines: $100
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Historically, Bombay has been one of the most successful franchise owners in league history. Yet, in ’09 he has drastically underachieved. His winning percentage has slipped. Is this all due to the fact that he ended his living arrangements with FMFL owner Don Mattingly? All signs point to yes. Yet, with a wild card bet still in his back pocket, I wouldn’t count him out.
Grade: D
Kimmy Gibbler
Total: -$1,800
Winning Percentage: .375
Fines: $600
Wild Card: Tennessee; Week 4 – Lost
Comment: At the beginning of the season, pundits were wondering which Gibbler would show up. The one from 2007, who performed terribly? Or the one from 2008 who won his division? Kimmy hasn’t recaptured any of last season’s magic. Instead, he lost his wild card bet, failed to make picks two weeks ago, then lost $500 the last week. Stick a fork in him. He’s done.
Grade: D-
Larisa Oleynik
Total: $1,500
Winning Percentage: .611
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Green Bay; Week 7 – Won
Comment: Larisa Oleynik took a different approach to the FMFL. Two co-managers making the picks each week. It paid off in the beginning, as they got off to a torrid pace. Then things got shaky, but in Week 7 they righted the ship with a wild card win. However, their lead is slim and as rookies will they be able to survive nine more grueling weeks? So far so good, but there is a long way to go.
Grade: A-
Teddy KGB
Total: $1,400
Winning Percentage: .632
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: KGB was up and down for the first part of 2009, but in recent weeks has come on strong and now only trails the division leading Larisa Oleynik by $100. He still has his big bet available, but the question is when he should place it. We should not soon forget Teddy’s second half collapse last season, when he went from playoff contender to pretender in a span of four winless weeks.
Grade: B+
The Notorious A.B.T.
Total: -$1,200
Winning Percentage: .381
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Another rookie in the league, the A.B.T. is yet to hit a hot streak. Instead he has slowly but surely declined. Right now, he remains $1,200 behind his arch-nemesis, The People’s Champ. When asked to comment, the Notorious A.B.T. said, “I don’t care if I win my division. All I want to do is finish higher than The People’s Champ. That’s all that matters to me.”
Grade: D+
NORTH
Art Schlichter
Total: $700
Winning Percentage: .636
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 8 – Lost
Comment: In his first year in the league, Art jumped out to a successful start, vying for the lead for most of the season. However, just last week he lost his wild card and $1,000 for the week. He is holding on for dear life as he is on the cusp of not making the playoffs. His winning percentage is solid and he has made shrewd bets thus far (except for last week). If he can bounce back in the next two or three weeks, he has a good shot at the playoffs.
Grade: B-
Babe
Total: $1,400
Winning Percentage: .688
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: There is not much negative that can be said about someone who hits on almost seventy percent of their bets. But I will say something negative anyways. In the last couple of weeks, Babe has had a chance to distance himself from the rest of the North, but failed to do so. After losing $500 last week, he is now trailing in the division after leading for almost the whole first half. In the remaining weeks, these teams are sure to shuffle around quite a bit since only two North teams have used their wild cards.
Grade: B+
Blossom Russo
Total: $100
Winning Percentage: .474
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Minnesota; Week 5 – Won
Comment: Along with Gordon Bombay, Blossom was known as a force to be reckoned with in the FMFL. That is, before this season. Blossom has had a ho-hum year so far, winning some and losing some. Without a wild card win in Week 5, she’d be in the negatives. Although she’s still within earshot of the playoffs, Blossom has fallen off the record-setting pace we are used to seeing from her.
Grade: D
Bummy
Total: $600
Winning Percentage: .609
Fines: $200
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Without his late bets, Bummy would be a playoff team. With them, he is not. And if you were to ask Bummy about it, I don’t think he’d care either way. He still has his wild card and is primed for a run at the division. But there is a good chance that he sleeps in too late on any given Sunday and forgets to bet at all.
Grade: B
Karl Farbman
Total: -$400
Winning Percentage: .412
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: The defending champion has been awful of late, slipping into negative money for the first time this season. His winning percentage is down, but he still has his wild card bet on the table. But so far, Karl has lacked any type of momentum or intelligence.
Grade: C-
Mr. Marbles
Total: $1,600
Winning Percentage: .600
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: We have underestimated his sneakiness. Marbles quietly hung around the top of the division for the last month, then took the lead when both franchises in front of him tumbled. Last season, he struggled down the stretch when trying to win the division. This could be the year that he break through. Just like the other contenders in the North, it will be interesting to see when (or if) he plays his wild card bet.
Grade: A-
The 21th Precinct
Total: -$200
Winning Percentage: .409
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Second-year franchise the 21th Precinct surprised the entire league in 2008 with a strong second half of the regular season which translated into a playoff spot and some money. This year, he has failed to get close to the top of the leaderboard, but has not fallen too far behind to mimic his ’08 run in ’09. But he still has a lot to prove.
Grade: C+
SOUTH
Chris B. Corey
Total: -$400
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: His grade is not based on Funny Money performance. It is based on his general demeanor and hair length.
Grade: D+
Love Doctor
Total: -$1,100
Winning Percentage: .467
Fines: $600
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: The good Doctor is one of the less vocal members of the 2009 rookie class, but was plugging along for the first part of the season until last week when he failed to bet. He’s had a steady hand so far and could have a chance in the South, where no one has run away the the division just yet.
Grade: C-
Mr. DeBlasis
Total: $500
Winning Percentage: .545
Fines: $100
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Called by some as, “The most hypnotic team in Funny Money Football,” Mr. DeBlasis is currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs. He is one of the few remaining franchises that has the courage to bet on the Browns. If he can string together a couple of good weeks, the end of the season could be interesting.
Grade: B-
Slovy Maximus
Total: $600
Winning Percentage: .538
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Slovy looks to be on the decline, as he was leading his division for awhile, but then let it slip away. He has continued to bet conservatively, often betting four games. His playoff destiny may be determined by the rest of the league. If the league average comes down, he could sneak in.
Grade: B-
The People’s Champ
Total: $0
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $200
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Another past champion that has struggled this season, the Champ uncharacteristically placed late bets two of the last three weeks. It’s no surprise that the Giants’ recent skid has been mirrored by the Champ.
Grade: C
Waldo Geraldo Faldo
Total: $1,000
Winning Percentage: .565
Fines: $100
Wild Card: New Orleans; Week 7 – Won
Comment: Betting with guts, Waldo rose from the middle of the pack two weeks ago with a big wild card win. Although he gave up the lead last week, remains at the top of the division and has solidified himself as a force in the South for the rest of the season. After having a rough end to 2008, we shall see if his veteran knowledge serves him well this year.
Grade: A-
Yaz
Total: $1,200
Winning Percentage: .688
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Right out of the gate, Yaz had a perfect week. Then he slipped up. Then he hovered around $0 for a few weeks. But in the last three weeks, he has won $500 each week, vaulting him to the top of the division. So far, he has been streaky. His final outcome will depend on whether he’s hot at the end of the season.
Grade: B+
WEST
Bayonnaise
Total: $400
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $300
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 7 – Won
Comment: In typicial Bayonnaise fashion, he had late bets in the first week of 2009. He has been okay since then, but might be too far off of the pace to make any noise in the division. He cashed in on his wild card already, so he needs to stay in the thick of things in the next few weeks. Once the Thursday night games start, expect the fines to pile up.
Grade: B
Don Mattingly
Total: $1,600
Winning Percentage: .722
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Mattingly is the only lapsed member in the history of the FMFL, but he is back with a vengeance. His winning percentage is solid and he has avoided fines all year long. He has also avoided betting the Chiefs every week. Yet, he is still far behind childhood life partner Rick Moranis. If he can cash in on his wild card, the race for the West will get interesting.
Grade: B+
Kenny Powers
Total: $300
Winning Percentage: .478
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Indianapolis; Week 5 – Won
Comment: Kenny is another rookie who has showed some promise in his inaugural campaign. He hit his big bet in Week 5 which took him out of the negatives and on the brink of the playoffs. He has been consistently average the last few weeks, but has put himself in position to be in the mix down the stretch.
Grade: B
Rick Moranis
Total: $2,400
Winning Percentage: .727
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: What is he doing differently? The absolute WORST owner in FMFL history has straight up dominated the first half of the season. In fact, last week was the first time he lost money all season (he lost $100). The preseason Vegas odds had him as a huge underdog. The house is not ready to pay off on those odds. He must be defeated before the season is over.
Grade: A
T-Ferg
Total: $600
Winning Percentage: .545
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: T-Ferg shot up at the beginning of the year and has stayed somewhat close to the leaders as of late. His streakiness could come back to haunt him down the stretch, but so far he has put on a respectable rookie performance.
Grade: B+
The Beard of Zeus
Total: -$200
Winning Percentage: .381
Fines: $0
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: Before the season began, The Beard of Zeus vowed that this was his year. Although he has cut down on his fines, his winning percentage is still below .400 and he has yet to capitalize on any momentum from week-to-week. A few bad weeks now and you can write him off for another season.
Grade: C-
The Phoenix
Total: -$400
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $400
Wild Card: Still Available
Comment: The self-proclaimed “Chad Johnson of Funny Money,” as well as the self-proclaimed “Mark Cuban of Funny Money,” and most recently, the self-proclaimed “Zac Efron of Funny Money,” the Phoenix has been fined $400. Without those fines, he would be exactly even for the year (.500 winning percentage). Even if he makes a move in the second half, most of his bets will be late.
Grade: C-
