Bijan Robinson's big Monday Night game rallied the Pink Floyds to a comeback 59-57 victory over the Big Johnsons in the third-place game. The Floyds finish in the money for the third straight season after taking second last year and winning the league title in 2023. A rough finish for the Big Johnsons, who were the dominant team much of the season.
As previously reported, the Nickell Buffaloes win the league title with a win over the Maq Daddies in the title game. It's the Buffaloes first title since 2007 and first money finish since 2021 when they took second. The Buffaloes also win the scoring title this year, finishing with an average of 46 points per game, and were 39 points ahead of of the second place Roosters. The scoring title earns the Buffaloes the first pick in next year's draft.
The Daddies in second place finish in the money for the first time since taking third in 2022.
This week we have the Toilet Bowl between the Holy Hand Grenades and QMaster. Both teams have some Toilet Bowl history and I am sure it will produce an exciting contest this season.
Still to be determined is our season-long Pick'em contest, which goes through the final week. The winner will likely either be the Hand Grenades or the Pink Floyds, with the Grenades holding a two-game lead heading into the final week. The winner gets a $50 payout.
We will send out all the prize money to our winners at the conclusion of this week's games.
Thanks for letting us know Karl. Our thoughts are with Sheila and her family.
For all of you who know former Examiner managing/executive editor Sheila Davis, she has moved to Chillicothe to be near her sister Susan and, as you may already know (which I think she posted on her own Facebook), is in hospice care. Her son Connor told Jeff Fox that if you could send her a card, it might lift her spirits, but he told Jeff not to wait too long to do it. If you'd like to send her a card, her address is: Sheila Davis, StoneBridge Senior Living, Room 110, 2601 N. Fair St., Chillicothe, MO 64601. Jeff asked me to give you all a heads up on that. Karl
The Buffaloes are proud to wear the crown of the Examiner Fantasy Football League again after so many years in exile. Congrats to Dave for a hard-fought title game that could have easily gone either way. Most important, thank you to the little people I had to step on to get to the top... You know who you are!
Congratulations to the Buffaloes. What a nail biter of a final! Sure didn’t expect to get this far after sitting at .500 most of the season, so I can’t complain. Still, I’ll always regret talking myself out of subbing Hunter Henry for Kelce.
Congrats Buffaloes! The Examiner FF League champion 2025.
