fantasy football: a league of our own

Congrats to Booker and killsaly for locking up playoff berths!

Thanks! I believe this is the best I have ever done in this league.

killsaly finished in first place at 11-3 despite being the 8th highest scoring team in the league. looks ripe for a first round upset at the hands of we are both carls, who snuck into the playoffs despite losing in week because hoya lost, too. i'm facing off against stillwater in a battle of 10-4 teams ravaged by injuries.

Yeah, definitely a wide open field.  It hurts losing Jennings, but hopefully AP returns…

those of us in the basement aren't officially in any form of playoff but we can have an off-the-books competition as yahoo is still scoring us.  it would be:

- Pigskin&Pigtails6949 vs. The Ian Curtis Shake
- I Hate Pink Floyd vs. New Jersey Barebacks

sorry for bringing this up so late, but luckily no one missed out on the thursday and saturday games so we're all even there. 

back to the real playoffs, things are off to a rip-roarin' start for BookerT vs. Stillwater.  i think the over/under on that one is 260.

When Matt Ryan, Donald Brown and Willis McGahee combine for 50-60 pts against you, its not your year…

I spoke too soon I guess… I need to send Matthew Stafford a XMas card.

Up 10 with Ryan Matthews and Shaun Suisham vs. Vincent Jackson and Mike Wallace.


Hard to predict… Jackson and Wallace are your definition of feast or famine receivers.  Should be an interesting finish…

was today opposite day in the NFL?

Matthews sealed the deal for you. Ravens defense let me down, and hopefully they lose some playoff home games and Flacco turns in another road stinkbomb. It will take a truly monster game from Wallace and maybe a missed 31 FG or two from Suisham for me to have a chance…

score one for the booker.  WABC took care of biznatch despite the fine performance put on by SF's defense last night (you owe reggie bush a thank-you note).  if i was killsaly, i'd consider putting a hit out on mike williams. 

in ther other semi-final, Stillwater drowned the BookerT-Bar's hopes of re-starting his dynasty.  harvin picked a bad week to take a snooze, but that stafford/matthews/atlanta mix would be a lot for anyone to overcome. 

Hoya Paranoia rode the 1-2 of brees and mccoy to beat TBD to earn himself a spot in the 5-th place game.  he'll be facing off against the RnR Outlaws who laid down team sally with another huge day for the Seattle D (best late-season pick-up ever?).  tough going for team sally, what with putting up a rather impressive 115 points thanks to megatron and DHB.

and in the left-over round, The Ian Curtis Shake beat out Pigskin&Pigtails6949 while the New Jersey Barebacks bested I Hate Pink Floyd… not that i'm 100% sure anyone else is still bothering to play down there.

Rough one for Smackie.

Eliminated from my loser pool in week 15 (Carolina).  #10 overall in a 250+ person pool.  I get as much as the guy who was eliminated in week one…

I lost in the fantasy playoffs by .1 and would have won but for the chop block call late in the 4th last night.

My Steelers lost and I had to endure it with a bunch of Niners fans, yet most texts I received were about how embarrassing my city is that it can't keep it light's on.

All true stories.

Yes.  I bailed.  Thanks for inviting me, though.  Both of my quarterbacks are out.  My best receiver and running back are out.  It was time to wave the white flag.

I'm focused on my fantasy basketball draft tomorrow night for my team, "Amnesty International."  I think I'm going with an All-Pissed-Off/Perceived-Slight team.  Kobe, Dwight Howard, Rondo…..

Brian

given the horrible season that the new jersey barebacks had, its management has called this season a wash-out and has headed south early.  this decision will compromise my ability to oversee the end of the season and provide my usual summary write-up, but between doing that and hitting the waves… pass me my margarita, will ya hon?  grassy ass.

best of luck to stillwater!  and congrats to everyone for our group effort in ensuring that bookerT doesn't take the crown.

Congrats to everyone! It was a fun season and I look forward to the next one.

League930 Final Standings for 2011-2012

our champion this year is first-time winner Stillwater who takes home $150 and bragging rights.  stafford came through big in the final game, allowing him to beat We Are Both Carls - who will have to console himself with his $65 prize.  third place, and $25, went to perennial podium-dweller BookerT.  he bested 4th-place killsaly.

shadrach's Rock N Roll Outlaws beat Hoya Paranoia for 5th place while Yada's TBD bested retrospec's team salty for 7th.

despite my piss-poor showing i once again had an absolute blast playing with y'all and look forward to next season. enjoy the real playoffs,
da commish

belated congrats to stillwater. a title well earned. considering my injury situation (my first round pick played less than 2 quarters), a 3rd place finish is not bad. but this franchise is used to championships and two years in a row without one leaves the fans restless.

4th place = my best finish so far in this league.
and Booker… is your screen name from:

Dez Bryant beats up his mom, but that's already been covered in another thread.

Skins paid up for a guy that will probably blow out his knee… that's all I got.

Someone should start this up. Last year's league was good stuff (except for the fact that I didn't win - again).
