I'm chugging my way up the standings. Flying Elbows. Coming up.
fantasy football: a league of our own
Anyone else get 11 "weekly recap" emails today?
nope, i only got one of those emails.
actually, i didn't know i was getting those emails. i read the stupid "weekly recap" on the website, but i had to dig through my Promotions folder in Gmail to find the email.

So, 5 teams tied for 1st at 7-3. The top 4 teams are playing each other this week. Big week!
After stringing together a couple wins I dropped back to back weeks. 7th place. IT BURNS.
This is my worst league.

The worst I've done in a over a decade of fantasy football. It's saddening.
I just went 2-0 vs Barebacks and won't make the playoffs. Weird year.
and thanks to that loss, i'm out of the playoff picture. what a crappy performance by my team this past weekend (too much turkey?). my projected points was over 120 - meaningless, i know, but gave me a false sense of confidence. my guys, save for 2, collectively pooped the bed.
off to fight for 5th place… wee.

I lost like 6 in a row after being in first place for a week.
Great, just great

Mine too. At least I avoided my first losing season!
If anyone wants any players from my team just trade me whoever and I'll accept it. First come, first serve, folks.
trade deadline has long since passed, you ninny. exactly to prevent this sort of end-of-season dumping.
Rough season. My guys just never got it going. I'll be back. Maybe I can at least let out some aggression on Sweetcell in the consolation bracket final.

bring it, bookie.
normally i would feel all smug about finishing above BookerT, but i can't ignore the fact that he used auto-draft this year because he was unable to attend the live draft. so despite this handicap he still achieved the same record as me (just less points). respect.

Well then, I'll just dump my team.

We do it in 2 out of the 4 leagues I'm in. A lot of people don't get picked up. I think it's fair. I lost and have nothing to play for and am not going to be checking this league again until next year. I don't really see the big deal. If the last teams left are the best and have a few holes, why wouldn't they want to plug a hole or two? It's like the end of the baseball season when the rosters expand.
^^ban this guy forever^^

fine, so don't play any more, go back to your basement for the next 9 months, whatever; but don't go trying to throw the league outta whack by changing the balance and giving other teams an unearned and unfair advantage.
i am a merciful and generous commish so i shall look the other way, but c'mon… other people still care. there is pride and money on the line here. i would be pissed if i lost in the playoffs because my opponents acquired your star players.
edit: and if you do indeed decide to not play anymore, BookerT will get an easy pass to the consolation round finals. booooooo. take him down!
