So they're the greatest losers in FPL history?

So they're the greatest losers in FPL history?

I guess so.

Better that than being completely unremarkable … still, not something they'll want to put on their LinkedIn profiles.

Apparently I'm the Yellow Springs of being the best non-playoff team. So the Yellow Springs of Yellow Springs of the FPL?

They just went 7-21, putting them at 157-123. That is their 3rd non over .500 season. We're now 167-127 with only 2 still. Records aren't updated in history for that. But that should mean we are still winning unless someone else has surpassed our fantastic futility.

[jleddy]

I wasn't a math major, but 157-123 will always be a higher percentage than 153-127.

[bcslouck]

I wasn't a math major, but 157-123 will always be a higher percentage than 153-127.

You're right. I added 27 I guess. Well.. I'm an estimator by trade.

The Lumberjacks are 33-23 (.589) so technically we are #1 in winning percentage (157-123 = .561), but feel free to argue sample size.
