Gamblor still finds himself at the bottom even after a great week of 400 points but he has closed the gap and looks to be back in the race. Like the 8th place racer who gets the lightning item in Mario Kart. F'N FLOPPERS had an average week of 355 points and remains in 8th place. Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 265 points and falls all the way down to 7th from 4th.
Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 375 points and stays in 6th place. Baltimore Hitsquad had an excellent week of 510 points and moved up from 7th to 5th. Oww Ming's Flagrants had a great week of 495 points and moved up from 5th to 4th place.
GG Foulin' had a great week of 405 points but actually dropped one spot to 3rd. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a great week of 405 points as well but drops to 2nd. That's because Pgastan FC had an excellent week of 565 points and moves from 3rd to 1st place.
Well that's it for now
Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Week 1 Roundup: A Blank Slate
Well, well, well and we're underway with a brand new NFA Season. Since I covered the draft in a separate post I won't be doing that here. But I do have a new feature to start out the season with. There have been some performance foul droughts to start a season before, but since I didn't take records only anecdotal evidence will do so far. I believe Pgastan FC had a performance foul drought in one recent season that lasted 2 or 3 weeks before he got his first techy. Anyway, I decided to track each teams first performance foul of the season as well as the first of each from a league-standpoint. Please note that while technically a foul out is an accumulation of fouls and not generally considered a performance foul per se, I did include it in the tracker, as the point was to see when each team scored more than 5 points on a given stat category.
Performance Foul Tracker
Oww Ming's Flagrants - Foul Out 10/17/18
Baltimore Hitsquad - Foul Out 10/17/18

As you can see, every team has had at least one performance fouls since the NFA season started, which may be a record, but there are no records prior to this season. As you can also see, we've had everything except for a flagrant so far this season. I will also point out which team is the first to complete the cycle for the season as well, but that could be awhile.

Ohsnappers!!!, Oww Ming's Flagrants, and Baltimore Hitsquad all had average weeks scoring 320, 340, and 375 points respectively. Pgastan FC is in third after a great week of 400 points.

NFA 2018-2019 Season Preview and Draft Recap
The National Foul Association is back! The Association completed its 9th draft ahead of its 9th season last night. We'll address the draft in a second but first some interesting tidbits from inside the draft room.
NFA Analytics
First off, we haven't decided on what to call this analytics movement sweeping the Association by storm right now. Foulerball is what Pgastan FC has been using for a few years but my sources tell me that they are open for another name. Foulernomics? The Association is open to ideas of naming this movement.
Anyway, during the early rounds of the draft, Oww Ming's Flagrant's (last year's champion) revealed they are using analytics and cited a fouls/minute stat. Pgastan FC, cited his fouls/game stat. This got PFC thinking that maybe he should be using a fouls/minute stat in addition to his fouls/game stat he has been using over the last few years. PFC may be contemplating firing his front office (or as Theo Epstein calls them "his nerds") as a way to shake things up. As Billy Beane said in Moneyball "Adapt or die." PFC has been using his method since the 2014-15 season and has finished 5th, 3rd, 4th, and 2nd. Two top 3 finishes may not be good enough, though he did not win the DeMarcus Cousins sweepstakes in any of those years.
We do not know how many years Oww Ming's Flagrant's has been using Analytics but he joined in 2014-15 season and has finished 7th, 2nd, 3rd, and 1st. It could be assumed that after a 1 year learning curve he has been using analytics ever since. He did win the Demarcus Cousins sweepstakes in 2017-18 season where he finished 1st and the 2015-16 season where he finished 2nd.
It will be interesting to see where the Foulerball movement takes the NFA and if other Clubs start adopting analytical methods to assess their teams.No team has discovered Fouls Above Replacement (FAR) yet but if they do they could run away with the league.
Season Changes
They Call Me Gamblor has shortened their name to just Gamblor. All other Foul Club names remain the same.
The Draft
As for the draft itself, it started out different then previous years because Cousins is recovering from a torn Achilles last January and has no timetable to return. He also joined the Warriors so who knows exactly what his playing time situation will be once he is healthy. Also, this appeared to be the first draft in which every Foul Club showed up so this could be a highly competitive year in the Association.
Here's a look at how the 1st round played out:
1. F'N FLOPPERS selected Draymond Green
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants selected Karl-Anthony Towns
3. Arlington Assaulters selected Dwight Howard
4. GG Foulin' selected Devin Booker
5. Gamblor selected Russell Westbrook
6. Ohsnappers!!! selected Markieff Morris
7. Pgastan FC selected Julius Randle
8. Rodman'sWeddingDress selected Andre Drummond
9. Baltimore Hitsquad selected Dillon Brooks
A couple of thoughts: Arlington Assaulters appeared to get lucky with Dwight Howard falling to 3 as he has been the 2nd off the board in previous drafts right behind Cousins. Oww Ming's Flagrants selected Karl-Anthony Towns 2nd overall and as defending champion and admitted user of analytics can you really question that pick? Markieff Morris at 6 for Ohsnappers!!! could be a steal as well. That forced Pgastan FC into a tough decition for 7th pick and he ended up taking Julius Randle.
Other Notable Draft Picks
- Gamblor took DeMarcus Cousins as the 5th pick in Round 2
I guess that's really the only notable draft pick not in the 1st round. I mean there were some other players that are good foulers that went later but that is the pick everyone wants to know.
Season Preview
Well given that Cousins is hurt, all 9 Foul Clubs showed up for the draft, and teams look pretty even, this league seems wide open. I don't even know how to predict a top 3 other than going by total points per team based on last year but that's not really scientific. It really does seem wide open for any club right now for the first time in NFA history.
Check back in the coming weeks for the weekly updates and any other league news that may break and of course the twice a season Donkies.
Well that's it for now.

2017-2018 End of the Season Donkies!

The Roger Murdock Persistent Fouling Award (Most Personal Fouls):

SG: Devin Booker with 1880 points (168-3-9-1-5) *Accomplished in 54 games
SF: Markieff Morris with 2020 points (216-1-13-2-2)

Also, Kevin Durant finished 7th overall with basically only techy's and ejections, though Blake Griffin had a similar stat line (139-2-14-1-1) for 1555 points.

Scoring was definitely down on the individual level this year compared to last. Interesting to note that Cousins went down in January and still finished 14th overall 1555 points (183-0-9-2-1). Also, Kevin Durant finished 7th overall with basically only techy's and ejections, though Blake Griffin had a similar stat line (139-2-14-1-1) for 1555 points.
Well that's it for this season, Hope you had fun following the blog!
Until next year,
Keep Foulin' Y'all!

2017-2018 NFA Season Recap
Can you believe it? Another NFA season in the books. The team that drafted DeMarcus Cousins won the league again (though Cousins' went down with an injury in January). If Cousin's didn't go down, Oww Ming's Flagrants may have challenged the all-time record. Anyway, this got me thinking "What would all final NFA scores in league history look like?" Well, you're in luck if you were thinking the same thing because I put together a little table with this information!
I had to use the snipping tool to make it a JPEG from Excel, because Google Blogger wouldn't keep the formats with a straight copy and paste. So, hopefully you can click the image to make it larger. Anyway, first thing about this table is I threw away the 2011-2012 season for record low as it was a lockout, though I kept it in the Total's and averages as it was still a decent sized season. Also, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place shading is supposed to be Gold, Silver, and Bronze. You can see there have been 3 Foul Clubs in every season since the beginning: Pgastan FC (though he had two other names in the early years which were Donkey Engine and Steam Donkey FC), Baltimore Hitsquad, and F'N FLOPPERS. Rodman'sWeddingDress has been in every year except the inaugural season.The league has been pretty consistent since the 2014-2015 season with the exception of adding GG Foulin' in the 2016-2017 season (though my sources say he may be back).
Anyway, the All-Time record was set by Rodman'sWeddingDress in the 2010-2011 season in which he had Dwight Howard and a rookie named DeMarcus Cousins. The non-lockout record low was set by Hoopin Sabercats. I think the rest of the table is pretty self-explanatory so I will let you look at it instead of rehashing everything verbatim.
Let's get to the season recap.
Stat Corrections:
- There were no stat corrections in the final week
Final 2017-2018 NFA Standings
1. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 11900 (+210)

8. Baltimore Hitsquad - 8030 (+100)
There was no movement in the standings in the final 3-days of the 2017-2018 season. Baltimore Hitsquad just made it to the 8,000 point club with a score of 100 points this week so his final score looks respectable as there are still 2 other foul clubs in the 8,000s. Ohsnappers!!! stayed in 7th place after scoring 80 points this week. F'N FLOPPRS ha a nice 3-day week of 205 points but stayed in 6th place for his final place. They Call Me Gamblor only managed 95 points but stays in 5th place.
Rodman'sWeddingDress just made it to 10000 points by scoring 160 points giving him 10,000 points exactly. Arlington Assaulters managed only 75 points to finish with 10,400 points. Pgastan FC scored 160 points to join the 11,000 point club by more than enough and he finishes as the league runner up. Finally, Oww Ming's Flagrants put up 210 points in this short week to finish with 11,900 points and claim his first title.

Week 25 Roundup: This is the End Edition
"This is the end. My only friend, the end."-- The Doors
Well, this is it, we've reached the final 3 days of the 2017-2018 NFA season and honestly, it looks like there won't be much change in the standings with the exception of potentially 6th and 7th who are separated by only 155 points. Those 155 points are the closest of any two foul clubs heading into the final stretch.
There are some reachable milestones for some Foul Clubs though:
- Pgastan FC is 40 points away from the 11,000 point club
- Rodman'sWeddingDress is 160 points away from the 10,000 point club.
- Baltimore Hitsquad is 70 points away from the 8,000 point club.
Let's take a look at how the last full week of the NFA played out.
Stat Corrections:
- There were no stat corrections this week
Transactions:
- Oww Ming's Flagrants added DeMarcus Cousins and dropped Brandon Ingram on April 3rd. This is purely a move to get Cousins back onto his roster for the Yahoo Fantasy Sports archive.
- Pgastan FC added Eric Bledsoe and dropped JaMychal Green on April 8th.
- Pgastan FC added Jonas Valanciunas and dropped Ben Simmons on April 8th.
- Pgastan FC added Ben Simmons and dropped Jonas Valanciunas on April 8th. That is not a typo, some FC GM just had a change of thought.
Standings as of April 9, 2018:
1. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 11690 (+435)
2. Pgastan FC - 10960 (+360)
3. Arlington Assaulters - 10325 (+220)
4. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 9840 (+260)
5. They Call Me Gamblor - 9160 (+255)
6. F'N FLOPPERS - 8385 (+335)
7. Ohsnappers!!! - 8230 (+275)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad - 7930 (+325)
<= 195 points: Horrible week
200-295 points: Poor week
300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week
Looks like Baltimore Hitsquad will finish the season in the cellar, though at least he should crack 8000 points. This follows an average week of 325 points. Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 275 points and remains in 7th place but is within reaching distance of 6th place as mentioned above. F'N FLOPPERS is that 6th place team but did get some breathing room after an average 335 point week. They Call Me Gamblor joined the 9000 point club this week after a poor week of 255 points.
Rodman'sWeddingDress also had a poor week of 260 points and remains in 4th place. Arlington Assaulters had a poor week of 220 points and remains in 3rd place. Pgastan FC had an average week of 360 points but remains in 2nd place. Oww Ming's Flagrants had a great week and is still atop the leaderboard.
