The season has reached the crossroads. It's Week 14 -- the time to test our mettle. Every team is still alive, even those buried in the dredges of the standings still have hope. But we've reached the breaking point for some, maybe a turning point for others. There's just four weeks left in the season and it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
The first round of the playoffs begin this week and the field is set. The Bucking Broncos play the Hurricanes and the Weemsters take on the Wichita Winged Warriors, our defending champion. The two winners will advance to the 8-team bracket the following week while the losers say good night and good luck.
The outcomes are just as important for teams with a first-round bye. The championship crown is up for grabs. There are six contenders within two games of the lead, and don't count out the Bucking Broncos, who are seventh 2.5 back, but have arguably the best team so far this year as evidenced by the most points scored. A points advantage will rule any tiebreakers, and that's good news also for Big Czeck, who sit a few points back of the Broncos but ahead of all others. Everything to this point has just been setting the stage. Cue the music. Now, let the games begin! (loud applause).
Congrats once again to the Weemsters! For the second year in a row, and third time in the last four years, the Weemsters are the sole survivor. All three remaining contestants had different picks, and while the OG Cardinals and Broncos were knocked out in upset losses, the Weemsters got it right with Detroit. The Weemsters win $50.
All three Survivors -- Broncos, Weemsters and Cardinals -- still win this week behind the Rams, and are still alive heading to week 10.
Still three teams left in the Survivor pool -- Broncos, Cardinals and Weemsters.
It was a tough week in the Survivor pool! After four perfect weeks with all 10 teams advancing, six teams were knocked out this past week. We're down to four -- Dogs, Weemsters, Cardinals and Broncos.

Two days to draft day!
All 10 owners are back again this year and we're all set for the draft at 6 p.m. Monday night. The Hurricanes have the No. 1 pick. Most people have sent in or paid on the site the entry fee, so thank you, but I still need to collect from a couple of you. Just.a reminder, if for any reason you can't be online during parts of the draft, please put players in your queue and click on auto during those periods. If your time limit expires and you haven't picked, the site takes the highest rated guy on its rankings, which is sometimes good, sometimes not. Talk to you all on Monday evening.
I AM IN
