Ep 17: Week 17 - 'Twas the Night Before Playoffs
5th & Long
Week 17 doesn’t care about what you meant to do, or what your roster looked like in October. It only cares about totals. One round is already in the books, and now we’re staring at the second half of a two-week playoff where every point counts the same, whether it comes on Christmas Day or Sunday night. There are no style points left. This is math, nerve, and lineup discipline. Some teams are protecting leads. Others are chasing aggressively. And everyone’s checking injury reports like they’re reading tea leaves. This is the week where safe decisions lose leagues and bold ones win...

Ep 15: Week 15 - The Hardest #Commish Designs a Perfect Final Week of the Regular Season
5th & Long
Welcome back to 5th & Long, the OBFFL’s official safe space for overconfidence, regret, and revisionist history. It’s the final week of the regular season, and somehow the league feels both completely predictable and utterly unhinged at the same time. The Gargoyles have clinched the Iacanos Division, four teams have punched their playoff tickets, and six others are clinging to life like a flex player projected for 7.4 but ‘trending up.’ Week 14 gave us the full spectrum: big swings, brutal beats, Morgan’s concession speech for Tit of the League, and a Pick ’Em race where half...

Ep 9: Week 9 - Requiem for a Dream & The In-Season Tournament is a HUGE Hit
5th & Long
It’s Week 9 in the OBFFL, and this is the point where contenders separate, pretenders panic, and someone inevitably blames “bye weeks” for their collapse. Week 8 brought chaos, heartbreak, and a few miracle wins no one deserved. Standings are tight, the takes are hotter, and the group chat never sleeps. Here to break it down this week is Alec Swiecinski of Andy Reid's Fupa & Dom Schlabach of You Sanu'z You Lose
info_outlineLos Gallegos, Kiss of Deaf, MHYK, Hoop Dreams, Andy Reid’s Fupa, and Azure Gargoyles. The playoffs are here, and we arrive to Christmas Week as this year’s Elite 6 Teams of the OBFFL have secured 2 more weeks of play for the coveted OBFFL trophy. In a “winner take all” format of most cumulative points, we’re going to see who is best prepared to sit/start their way to the Championship. Will we have our first repeat champion or will the trend continue of no repeats with one of our underdogs?
