fantasy football: a league of our own

Hey whomever is Rock N Roll Outlaws, you have an open spot in your lineup.  You should put someone in before the 4pm games.

Id rather not win like that…

I swear I put Nate Burleson in at my Flex. The only thing I can think of is that I forgot to click the submit button before leaving the page. Would have given me the win by fractions of a point too. Sucks.

so, how's that arian foster kid workin' out for ya?

Amazing and unlikely victory by the BookerT-Bars last night. We Are Both Carls had Rivers, Novak and SD defense, made up the deficit to either get within 1 point or take a slight lead with 2 minutes left in the game. SD was kneeling to set up Novak for a chip shot game-winning FG to give Charges and Carls the win … then Rivers fumbles on a kneel down, losing Carls a point and sending the game to OT. There the Chiefs get a field goal, knocking another point from the SD defense's fantasy score and the BookerT-Bars escape with a 1.4 point victory.

FUCK YOU KEVIN FAULK

once again, there are only 2 other teams out of 11 who could beat me.  once again, i happen to be playing one of them.  fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

i was going to post this earlier today, but work got in the way and then vansmack beat me to it…

i see you decided to pad your win this week with a cushion of 2.28 points ;D

I would like to reiterate this sentiment. 

I lost by two and had K-Faulk active.  I have renamed my team to "I Hate Kevin Faulk"

same here.  i swapped out DJ Ware for Faulk off waivers at 12:59 pm on sunday, seconds before the deadline.  Ware put up 2.3 points.  i lost by 1.74.

I have the second most points in the league and make no apologies for my 8-1 record … but I've gotten some lucky wins the past 2 weeks. Three Maclin catches in the 4th quarter while McCoy disappeared got this W for me.

A real barn burner for first place this week…

indeed!  i'll have a lot to keep track of during this game.  first place show-down should be a good one.  i've got 3 players on the field (battle, mccluster and gostkowski), need to make up 15 points vs. killsaly's one (woodhead).  and of course my general interest in seeing the pats prevail.

i hope this one turns into a high-scoring shootout.  don't worry stillwater, hopefully the Pats' D will be strong like last week and create a lot of turnovers (thus giving the ball back to battle and mccluster - everyone wins!)

My winning steak may have come too late. I'm dangerously close to being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Not saying that the 3 of us at 8-3 are out of the woods yet being up by only a game, but I just went through the schedule, and the next 3 weeks are basically a round robin for that last playoff spot.

Still in contention:

1. Stillwater……………..8-3-0 1232.36
2. BookerT-Bars…………8-3-0   1157.74
3. killsaly…………………8-3-0 1043.60
4. We Are Both Carls……7-4-0 1158.48
————————————————–
5. Hoya Paranoia………..7-4-0 1115.42
6. team salty…………….6-5-0 1107.58
7. Rock N Roll Outlaws….5-6-0 1024.56

Week 12:
team salty (6-5) vs. Hoya Paranoia (7-4)
We Are Both Carls (7-4) vs. killsaly (8-3)
Stillwater, Booker T and Outlaws vs. teams out of contention

Week 13:

We Are Both Carls (7-4) vs. Hoya Paranoia (7-4)
team salty (6-5) vs. Rock N Roll Outlaws (5-6)
Stillwater, Booker T and killsaly vs. teams out of contention

Week 14:

Stillwater (8-3) vs. team salty (6-5)
Hoya Paranoia (7-4) vs. killsaly (8-3)
We Are Both Carls (7-4) vs. Rock N Roll Outlaws (5-6)
Booker T vs. team out of contention

Shadrach- I think you'll need to take care of business and win out, root for the Top 3 to win the rest of their games (killsaly in particular).  You are going to need to score some points too to help out with the tiebreaker.

Anyway, should be a pretty exciting finish…

congrats to stillwater for a strong showing last night.  ah-whaddup Pats D?!?

the fact that i have more points than 4 of the 7 people on that list, yet am sitting in the basement, KILLS me.

i redirect my hate from kevin faulk to thomas jones.  jones was supposed to be an after-thought in the chiefs' running game, but he ended up having the biggest game of RBs - stealing touches from my mccluster and battle.  i ended up losing by 2 points.  breaston was the chief i should have started, but didn't.  eff.  again.

My team is struggling lately. I was doing it with smoke and mirrors mostly, starting to catch up. I pray to the almighty Tebow to deliver me from this mortal coil to the fantasy football heavens…

there was some real craziness going on in last night's game. three very big come-from-behind victories with serious playoff implications. hoya went from down 53 to winning by 12, and he only had 2 players going!

that definitely gets my vote for comeback of the year.

eli had me nervous for most of the game.  he ended up producing more than what i needed, but 60% of his output was in the fourth quarter.  made for some anxious game-watching on my end.  think of how great the giants would be if they played with that urgency and efficiency during the entire game (yes, i know, saints were in garbage-time mode for the most part, but still…)

Nevermind

Big game tonight for the 4th playoff spot.  Hoya is up a game in the standings and 18 points on the week.  If Philip Rivers and Nick Novak score more than 18, him and We Are Both Carls will be tied going into next week.  If River breaks his arm (or basically keeps playing the way he has) Hoya can clinch it tonight.

Congrats to Booker and killsaly for locking up playoff berths!

in the immortal words of brent musberger - this one's for all the tostitos

Officially the worst fantasy season I've had in a long time.

Thanks 930 League!! I'll be back next year!
