Can't hold me back!
Apparently, the University doesn't turn off your mBlog permissions after you have graduated. This is excellent news (until someone reads this blog and shuts me off). I really don't want to have to move my layout and everything to a new site. Therefore, I'm going to continue to blog from here. If I disappear, though, you can always find me on the Fantasy Football Mailing List. Also, I'm a doctoral student at Northwestern University now, so if you're ever in Chicago - shoot me an email and we can hang out.
Anyway, here's a fun bit of fantasy data. The top 10 single-game performances for any player since 2001:
+-----------+-----------+------+------------+--------+
| firstname | lastname | tid | gid | points |
+-----------+-----------+------+------------+--------+
| Clinton | Portis | DEN | 2003120711 | 51.80 |
| Tom | Brady | NE | 2007102104 | 47.80 |
| Adrian | Peterson | MIN | 2007110404 | 47.60 |
| Peyton | Manning | IND | 2003092806 | 46.47 |
| Donovan | McNabb | PHI | 2004120512 | 45.47 |
| Carson | Palmer | CIN | 2007091601 | 45.37 |
| Shaun | Alexander | SEA | 2001111113 | 44.60 |
| Peyton | Manning | IND | 2004112500 | 43.87 |
| LaDainian | Tomlinson | SD | 2007101410 | 43.80 |
| Peyton | Manning | IND | 2004103103 | 43.73 |
+-----------+-----------+------+------------+--------+
If you need the date, it's contained in the game ID, which is YYYYMMDD. Kudos to Clinton Portis for holding the record. Scores may vary between your own scoring system.

What formula for calculating scores do you use? I assume most people follow espn or yahoo, but it's silly there's no standard.

Great question. I'm going to make a post on that right now. Also, I may poll the members of the mailing list on this too.
