NPL Awards – 2021

December 15, 2021

And just like that, the 2021 regular season is in the books. It seemed like just yesterday the Commish was asking people if they still wanted to play. No, I’m not talking about the annual ‘Are you in?’ text. I’m talking about the two different weeks where the NPL set and then tied the record for the most no-shows (with nine!). Squid Game had more willing participants! [pause for laughter]

Not scheduled to make an appearance at tonight’s award ceremony are the Josh Javelineers. They finished with their worst record and accuracy since 2008 and missed out on all the awards, the postseason, and happiness. Cari and Laci make their annual appearances in the Lonesome Losers and Lowest Pick Accuracy categories. Just which category they claim is entirely up to them, it seems. And our lone rookie, Samuel, went against all odds to win Rookie of the Year, but we considered giving it to Miranda, since her three wins were certainly rookie-esque. [even longer pause for laughter]

Today, we are here to announce the lucky winners of the 2021 NPL Awards! A huge congratulations to all the finalists, you have definitely set a very admiring benchmark for all these other losers to imitate. Let’s get to it!

INTRODUCING: Safeties

“Hey, Commish. Why is it that when I don’t submit my picks, my incorrect and correct totals are still going up. I want to be a pain in the ass and not submit my picks, giving a Free Win to an undeserving opponent, thereby alienating myself in my division.”

Why are you getting Correct and Incorrect picks when you don’t submit? Here’s why.

Girl Power

by Eleanor Crosby

December 19, 2016

It was a record setting year for the ladies of the NPL. While the women have been well represented in the NPL, this year showcases the true Girl Power of the NPL, with three Division Champions, two Wild Cards, and a Player of the Year!

Looking back, we have to go back to the inaugural season of the NPL in 2007 to see our first victory for NPL womankind: Erin wins the first ever Seer Cup, in a not-surprising defeat of Ricky. The ladies would go on to win conference championships in each of the first five seasons, taking home two Seer Cups along the way (Erin, Piper).
