RIVALRY WEEK: WHAT'S AT STAKE

Battle for the Bar Menu
When Vandelay Industries and Trough Drinkers meet this week, there is much more at stake than just a playoff berth. There's the Shamrock Bar Menu. The Drinkers have won the Bar Menu three straight years, and will have to again this year to make the playoffs.

The Industries can lose and still make the playoffs with some help. A loss coupled with either a loss by Iron City Iguanas or Wall Street Journals would still send Vandelay to the postseason.

Battle for the Skillet
You may wonder why Jacka and Parker are rivals, and battle for a skillet. So do we. But sometimes you have to force rivals, like the SEC did with Arkansas-LSU and the Golden Boot. There would be more disdain between the two had Parker not moved to North Carolina and continued to show up for Fantasy watching with us each Sunday.

In last year's inaugural matchup, Parker's Widow Makers beat Cityname Sports Team as Jacka went with the wishbone in the season's final week just because he could. This year, the two are fighting for a critical first-round bye in the playoffs.

Ginger Cup
If you want to call it the Salt-and-Ginger Cup, we won't fault you. This is basically the Egg Bowl of the OFFL. Nick Sabans Hair Dye and the Two-Term Blunders are both shitty teams going nowhere playing the final week of the year. Each is a prime candidate for the Team Mom Trophy. She's watching you.

The Hair Dye won the two initial meetings before the Blunders ended the streak a season ago. This year, it's all about pride.

The Big Brown CoC
Representatives of both the Iron City Iguanas and Steeltown Stunners will tell you that nothing matters more than the Cane of Champions (CoC). The Big Brown CoC is a cane with the logos of both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins on either side.

This one has been a back-and-forth affair. The Stunners won in 2009 and 2011 with the Iguanas taking the 2010 contest. With a win this year, Iron City would make the playoffs. Stunningly, Steeltown is in a battle for the No. 12 seed in the consolation playoffs.

Toyota Cup
You know what they say, When the Limbaugh's meet, you can throw the records out the window. This year, you probably should. They may as well call this the Iron Bowl. The Man Whores are 9-2-1 and in first place while the Green Iguanas are 4-7-1.

Neither team has anything to play for. The Whores have clinched the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, a spot nobody has ever won the OFFL Cup from. The Iguanas will finish in the bottom four and have a shot at the Team Mom.

21 1/3 Ounce Cup
The rivalry game is on an island between the Tecmo Bowls and Wall Street Journals. There is virtually no contact between these two and the rest of the league during the season. However, they probably talk to each other every week making fun of the Stunners (everyone does that).

The Wall Street Journals won last year's first meeting, meaning Parkay has still never won a cup of any amount of ounces. A win by the Journals this year could get them to the playoffs, with an Iron City Iguanas loss.
