2015-2016 Midseason Donkies!

Being at the mid-point of the season, well technically we're past midpoint (not sure why the Donk-Star game is like 50-something games into hte season)....anyway, it's that time for the Midseason awards since we have reached the Donk-Star Break.


The Roger Murdock Persistent Fouling Award (Most Personal Fouls):
Giannis Antetokounpmpo leads the league at the break with 177 personal fouls


The Shawn Kemp Award (Most Foul Outs):
It's a tie between Giannis Antetokounpmpo and DeMarcus Cousins who each of 6 foul outs


The Rasheed Wallace Legacy Award (Most Technical Fouls):
We have another tie! DeMarcus Cousins and Dwight Howard both have 11 Technical Fouls


The Charles Oakley Award (Most Flagrant Fouls):
We have yet another tie! Matt Barnes and James Harden both have 3 flagrant fouls so far


The Dennis Rodman Award (Most Ejections):  
Yup, you guessed it, another tie! Dwight Howard, Mario Chalmers, and Blake Griffin have each been ejected 2 times so far this season



Donkies by Position  Note State Lines below are: (Personal Fouls-Foul Outs-Techies-Ejections-Flagrants):

PG: Kyle Lowry with 1220 points (140-1-9-1-0)

SG: Matt Barnes with 1225 points (153-1-4-0-3)

SF: Giannis Antetokounpmpo with 1385 points (177-6-1-1-0)

PF: DeMarcus Cousins with 1720 points (164-6-11-1-0)

C: Dwight Howard with 1595 points (135-2-11-2-2)

*I am not sure exactly how to do Donkies by position since there can be overlap from what players are eligible to play in NFA and what they actually play in real life. For instance, if we strictly do position, Rodney Hood would have won the Donkey for SG. Cousins would have won PF and C since he is eligible for both but I decided to give the C award to Howard who was next. I believe I have done this both ways in the past, any input would be useful.


6th Man Award (Highest Point total for a fouler who went undrafted): Zaza Pachulia with 1220 points (132-1-5-1-2)


Midseason Most Valuable Fouler (MVF): DeMarcus Cousins with 1720 points (164-6-11-1-0)

Well that's it for now. Check back tomorow for the Week 16 Roundup

Week 15 Roundup: What Goes Around Comes Around Edition

Well, after writing about how Baltimore Hitsquad missed 3 ejections last week all on his bench (though I myself had 2 bench techies I believe), I bench Carmelo Anthony kind of last minute as he missed 2 games last week and was still experiencing knee soreness. Tuesday he gets a foul out and an flagrant for 170 points. Ended up with 200 points for the week and I would have gained 155 if you subtract the 45 from Jerami Grant who I replaced Melo with. Though in my defense, Melo did miss one of the 4 games he had last week.

Anyway.... Let's get on with the update.


Stat Corrections:

- Dwight Howard had a techy taken away from him retroactive to January 30th. Baltimore Hitsquad did not have him active that week so he does not lose 40 points.
- DeAndre Jordan had a techy taken away from him retroactive to January 22nd. They Call Me Gamblor had him active that week so he loses 40 points.


Standings as of February 8, 2016

1. Arlington Assaulters- 7160 pts (+380)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 6590 (+375)
3. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 6165 (+415)
4. Pgastan FC- 5950 (+635)
5. F'N FLOPPERS 5765 (+420)
6. They Call Me Gamblor- 5665 (+485)
7. Ohsnappers!!!- 5250 (+450)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 5155 (+555)

Baltimore Hitsquad continues ascent out of the basement of the NFA with another strong week, scoring 555 points. However, it was not enough to get out of 8th place, but he is closing that gap on 7th. Ohsnappers!!! scored 450 points but is only 95 points ahead of the Hitsquad who is in 8th. They Call Me Gamblor had another strong week scoring 485 points but remains in 6th. F'N FLOPPERS fell to 5th despite scoring 420 points. That's because Pgastan FC scored a league leading 635 points this week and jumped back to 4th. In so doing he closed the gap on 3rd as well. Rodman'sWeddingDress scored 415 points this week and remains in 3rd however. Oww Ming's Flagrants scored 375 points and remains in 2nd 570 points back of first. Arlington Assaulters gained 5 points on 2nd with a 380 point week, remains in 1st, and is the first to crack 7000 points.


Transactions
- F'N FLOPPERS added Stanley Johnson and dropped Terrence Jones on February 7th.


Well that's it for now. Given it's a short week with the Donk Star Break coming up, I will post a points graph on the next update once we hit the break. Also, stay tuned for the Midseason Donkies!

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Week 14 Roundup: Back to Back Ejection Edition

Dwight Howard was ejected on Friday and Saturday this past week and Saturday's ejection came from an altercation with Nene Hillario. Unfortunately, for Baltimore Hitsquad, he had both of those players on his bench this week. In his defense, Howard was still injured on Monday when rosters lock so it's hard to take that risk. Nene was healthy though. All in all, the Hitsquad had 700 points on his bench between those two players. If only he had them in his lineup, he could have set some serious NFA weekly records and perhaps a daily record on Saturday. In fact, He scored 250 points Saturday night without the 2 ejections, so had he started those 2 players he would have scored 615 points, though would have fallen a flagrant short of a team cycle.

Anyway, let's get to the update.

Stat Corrections: There were no stat corrections this week



Standings as of February 1, 2016

1. Arlington Assaulters- 6780 pts (+400)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 6215 (+670)
3. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 5750 (+335)
4. F'N FLOPPERS 5345 (+340)
5. Pgastan FC- 5315 (+305)
6. They Call Me Gamblor- 5180 (+355)
7. Ohsnappers!!!- 4800 (+310)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 4600 (+520)

Arlington Assaulters is keeping up the consistency with a 3rd straight 400 point week. However, Oww Ming's Flagrants continues to close the gap on him as he had a strong 670 point week and is now only 565 points back of 1st. Rodman'sWeddingDress remains comfortably in 3rd with a 335 point week. F'N FLOPPERS has passed Pgastan FC, albeit not by much, to move into 4th place after scoring 340 points, while PFC only put up 305 points this week. They Call Me Gamblor scored 355 points to become the latest to reach the 5000 point club. Ohsnappers!!! remains in 7th place after a 310 point week. Finally, Baltimore Hitsquad had a strong week with 520 points but one can only wonder what might have been. Actually, if he had benched Robin Lopez (who had 15 points all week) for Howard and Bogut (65 points) for Nene, he would have scored an additional 620 points so that would have brought him to 5,220 and he would be sitting in 6th.

Transactions
- Pgastan FC added John Wall and dropped Reggie Jackson on January 31st.
 

Well that's it for now.

Week 13 Update: Welcome Back Baltimore Hitsquad Edtition

As the commissioner of the National Foul Association, I would like personally welcome back Baltimore Hitsquad to the league after his 3 month sabbatical. He made 3 roster transactions this past week (more on those below) which were his first roster moves of the year. Maybe he can manage his way out of the cellar of the NFA now that he seems to be paying attention...

Stat Corrections:

-Michael Carter-Williams had a techy taken away from him retroactive to January 12th. F'N FLOPPERS had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
-Russell Westbrook had a techy taken away from him retroactive to January 13th. They Call Me Gamblor had him active that week so he loses 40 points. 
-Chris Paul had a techy given to him retroactive to January 22nd. Oww Ming's Flagrants had him active that week so he gains 40 points.

There were an additional 6 stat corrections this week but none of those players were owned so I won't report them in the blog. Reminder, you can go to the Stat Corrections section under the Player tab so you won't be caught off guard when you suddenly lose 40 points next time it happens.


Standings as of January 25, 2016

1. Arlington Assaulters- 6380 pts (+400)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 5545 (+625)
3. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 5415 (+420)
4. Pgastan FC- 5010 (+285)

7. Ohsnappers!!!- 4490 (+315)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 4080 (+415)

With Baltimore Hitsquad now paying attention, he had a respectable 415 point week but remains in last place. He did gain 100 points on Ohsnappers!!! who had a 315 point week but he remains in 7th. They Call Me Gamblor remains in 6th place after a 310 point week. F'N FLOPPERS is still in 5th after a 305 point week. Despite the lowest score of the week, Pgastan FC remains in 4th but only by 5 points. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a 420 point week but fell to 3rd because Oww Ming's Flagrants had a monster 625 point week. Finally, Arlington Assaulters remains in 1st following a 400 point week and he is the first foul club to crack 6000 points.

"We need more Bort license plates in the gift shop. I repeat, we are sold out of Bort license plates in the gift shop!"

Let's get to the update:

Stat Corrections:
There were 2 stat corrections this week but both players were free agents at the time of their corrections so it does not affect the standings.


Standings as of January 18, 2016

1. Arlington Assaulters- 5980 pts (+300)
2. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 4995 (+270)

7. Ohsnappers!!!- 4175 (+350)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 3665 (+400)

Relatively low scoring week overall but there were 2 teams that cracked 500 points. First off, let's start at the bottom. Baltimore Hitsquad had a respectable 400 point week but remains in last place and is the only foul club to have not cracked 4000 points yet. Ohsnappers!!! scored 350 points but remains in 7th. They Call Me Gamblor had the best week of the league scoring 545 points but unfortuantely for him, F'N FLOPPERS had the 2nd best week at 500 points so he only gained 45 points on 5th. Pgastan FC had a nice 400 point week but is only 25 points ahead of the aforementioned F'N FLOPPERS. Oww Ming's Flagrants scored only 285 points but gained 15 points on Rodman'sWeddingDress and is only 75 points behind. Finally, Arlington Assaulters is almost at the 6000 point plateau after a 300 point week. He has been keeping that nearly 1000 point lead on 2nd for weeks now.

Transactions
- Oww Ming's Flagrants added Julius Randle and dropped Paul Pierce on January 14th.
- Pgastan FC added Zaza Pachulia and dropped DeMar DeRozan on January 17th.

Week 11 Roundup: Homerpalooza Edition

"Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact"- Homer Simpson

Can't think of anything else to say for an intro, so let's get right to it.

Stat Corrections
There were no stat corrections this week

Standings as of January 11, 2015

1. Arlington Assaulters- 5680 pts (+580)
2. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 4725 (+515)
3. Oww Ming's Flagrants 4635 (+495)

5. F'N FLOPPERS 4200 (+385)
6. They Call Me Gamblor- 3970 (+395)
7. Ohsnappers!!!- 3825 (+275)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 3265 (+220)

Scores were relatively in the middle for the most part with only 2 clubs breaking 500 pts. Both of those clubs happened to be at the top of the standings so they further increased their lead on the league for the 2015-2016 championship. Arlington Assaulters still holds a comfortable 955 point lead over Rodman'sWeddingDress. Oww Ming's Flagrants almost broke 500 points but fell 5 points short scoring 495. He further increased his lead on Pgastan FC (390 points this week) when it looked like he was finally closing in on third place. F'N FLOPPERS scored 385 points and remains in 5th. In fact there were no teams that changed place in the standings this week. They Call Me Gamblor scored 395 points, while Ohsnappers!!! scored 275 points which caused him to fall further behind 6th when last week he was only 25 points behind him. Baltimore Hitsquad scored a measly 220 points and is now 560 points behind 7th. Oh how the mighty have fallen. The Hitsquad was one of the 3 teams that was really active in the first few years of the NFA which helped the league establish a solid foundation. He finished 2nd in 2010 and 3rd in 2011. He also finished 3rd last season.

Transactions

-Pgastan FC added Kenneth Faried and dropped Tyson Chandler on January 10th.

-Pgastan FC added Reggie Jackson and dropped Jerami Grant on January 10th.

Well that's it for now

Week 10 Roundup: Markieff Morris Saga Continues Edition

I saw this in Markieff Morris' player notes today:

Suns owner Robert Sarver said that Markieff Morris "can't seem to recover" from the team's decision to trade Marcus Morris to the Pistons.

Advice: "My whole view of the millennial culture is that they have a tough time dealing with setbacks, and Markieff Morris is the perfect example," Sarver said. "He had a setback with his brother in the offseason and he can’t seem to recover from it." Markieff has been racking up DNP-CDs lately but he wasn't even on the bench Sunday, reportedly because of an illness. His trade value is tanking and fantasy owners shouldn't be clinging to him.

They really need to trade him as it is a shame that one of the best foulers in the game is stuck on the bench. That is no way to treat the reigning NFA MVF.  

Anyway, let's get to the first roundup of 2016.

Stat Corrections

They were no stat corrections this week

Standings as of January 4, 2015

1. Arlington Assaulters- 5100 pts (+385)
2. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 4210 (+400)
3. Oww Ming's Flagrants 4140 (+680)

4. Pgastan FC- 3935 (+730)
5. F'N FLOPPERS 3815 (+380)
6. They Call Me Gamblor- 3575 (+195)
7. Ohsnappers!!!- 3550 (+435)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 3045 (+190)

Baltimore Hitsquad falls further behind the rest of the league with a dismal 190 point week, he remains in 8th place. Ohsnappers!!!  had a respectable 435 point and is now only 25 points behind 6th place, They Call Me Gamblor who only scored 195 points. F'N FLOPPERS had a 380 point week but fell to 5th place. That's because Pgastan Foul Club had an incredible 730 point week, aided by 2 ejections (both from his Milwaukee Bucks players, Mayo and Middleton). He was able to close the gap on 3rd a little bit, but Oww Ming's Flagrants also had a very impressive week putting up 680 points. Rodman'sWeddingDress scored an even 400 points this week and remains in 2nd but Oww Ming's Flagrants is only 80 points behind him. Arlington Assaulters is still comfortably ahead in 1s despite a 385 point week. 

Transactions

- Oww Ming's Flagrants added Allen Crabbe and dropped Jahilil Okafor on December 28th

- Oww Ming's Flagrants added Joe Johnson on December 28th
