Oops, he did it again.
Even though Sidney Rice has yet to play, the 2009 FFFL Champion has already been decided. For the third consecutive year, Big B and the Macon Love are sitting on top of the fantasy football mountain. As much as it pains me to admit, the act of winning three consecutive championships is truly amazing - and we here at the Commissioner's office have no choice but to take our hats off to Big B. It's highly unlikely that anyone will ever 3-peat again. Unless they're really, really LUCKY!
From an investment perspective, Big B looks like he's Warren Buffett. He spent $150 on his entry fee and pickups, and he's walking away with almost $900. That's nearly a 600% return on his investment.
For CCD, today must me a very bittersweet day. Sweet because he finished in 2nd and earned $181, but bitter because he could have earned $723.
Look for a "Season in Review" video from TP sometime in the next few months.
Also, the final winings are listed below. Please send me your checks ASAP!
Big B - $50 pickups + $345 1st place finish + $20 weekly high + $10 C. Johnson + $542 Championship = Won $867
CCD - $29 pickups + $200 2nd place finish + $10 weekly high = Won $181
Boogie - $65 pickups + $100 3rd place finish + $10 weekly high = Won $45
B Jones - $10 pickups + $25 weekly high + $10 A. Rodgers = Won $25
Swanny - $14 pickups + $15 weekly high + $10 N. Kaeding = Won $11
TP - $41 pickups + $20 weekly high + $10 V. Davis = Owes $11
Kav - $41 pickups + $10 weekly high + $10 R. Wayne = Owes $21
Fryxell - $45 pickups + $20 weekly high = Owes $25
Saber - $34 pickups = Owes $34
Willey - $63 pickups = Owes $63

One Pick up this week
Big B makes a Bid $3.00 for James Harrison RB (CLE) and Cut Qb Jason Campbell...
Wednesday, December 23, 2009
And Then There Were Two...
$542! That's a lot of cash.
After CCD and Big B do battle this weekend, one of them will be walking away with nearly a grand, and the other will be walking away with only their regular season earnings.
I think this picture sums up the situation quite well.
May the best team win!

And Then There Were Four...
If I sound bitter...it's probably because I am.
The first round of the playoffs illustrated precisely why I'm starting to think that fantasy football should never include match-ups. Since it's a "sport" where we can't impact our opponent's performance (i.e., we can't play defense), why should we be impacted based on our opponent's performance?
This week, the four teams that were playing put up the following point totals: 131, 108, 71, and 59. Now tell me which of those two teams should be moving on? (Here's a hint: they both scored over 100 points!)
And yet because of the head-to-head match-ups, Willey is moving on while my season is over -- even though my squad put up 37 MORE POINTS THAN HIS! Sigh...
While I'm uber-frustrated, I am also quite happy for Willey. He had an amazing second-half of the season, and he's taken advantage of some weaker divisional match-ups to put himself in the Divisional Championship game.
Swanny also deserves a lot of credit for putting up a monster week. Brandon Marshall and Dallas Clark had their best games of the year, and Matt Schaub and Thomas Jones also contributed to the cause by putting up 20+ points. Those four dudes combined for 101 points!
This week's two games should be quite entertaining. If Willey is going to have any chance of knocking off Big B, his team is likely going to have to put up a lot more than 71 points - as the Love have been rolling of late. (During their "bye week," Macon still put up an eye-popping performance.)
In the other game, Swanny and CCD will be facing off. While CCD has a much better record and ranking, Swanny's squad is actually projected to score 20+ points more than CCD's team. Although we should all know by now that those projections are ridiculous.
May the best teams win! (And by "best," I mean the teams who score the most points.)
P.S. You should all expect a proposal from me next year to run the playoffs as follows:
- 4 teams play in the first round; the teams with the two highest point totals advance
- 4 teams play in the second round; the teams with the two highest point totals advance
- 2 teams play in the Super Bowl; the team with the highest point total wins
No more divisions or match-ups!

Monday Night Party
This Monday Night (Dec. 21st), please join your fellow owners for a night of fellowship and frolicking at Joe Senser's in Bloomington. This should be a great way to kick-off the Holiday season. While Santa Claus will not be there, Big B will be allowing owners to sit on his lap for $1. Also, Co-Commissioner TP will be flying in from DC for this historic event.
The address is 4217 American Blvd. West, 55437.
P.S. The newsletter will be coming out shortly.

Fantasty Football Firings...Be warned!
Investment company to fantasy owners: 'You're fired'
If you happen to be reading this sentence while sitting in your cubicle at Fidelity Investments, then you'd better stop. Immediately. We cannot guarantee your safety. You're only one click away from creating a fantasy league, and that would be a serious violation of company policy. In fact, it's a fireable offense.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Fidelity recently axed four league commissioners in the Fantasy Purge of '09.
Cameron Pettigrew, who worked as a "relationship manager in a private client group" (which sounds a lot like the job description of a fantasy commish), was among those terminated:
"Firing a guy for being in a $20 fantasy league? Let’s be honest, that’s a complete overreaction," said Pettigrew, who lives in Grapevine and has an MBA from the University of Texas at Arlington. "In this economic time, especially. To fire people over something like this, it’s just cold."
That does seem cold. But multi-billion-dollar financial services corporations are not generally known for their warmth. Apparently there are anti-gambling rules in place at Fidelity. (Midcap funds, heck yeah! Football leagues, no).
Said Fidelity spokesman Vin Loporchio: "We have clear policies that relate to gambling. Participation in any form of gambling through the use of Fidelity time or equipment or any other company resource is prohibited. … We want our employees to be focused on our customers and clients."
They react to allegations of fantasy involvement swiftly, it seems.
[Pettigrew] said he never sent any fantasy football emails at work or using his work email address. But the investigators found two instant messages that had fantasy football-related material.
"One of my buddies sent me something about how bad Trent Edwards(notes) was playing or something like that," Pettigrew said. "So they called me in and talked to me for about 90 minutes on everything I ever knew about fantasy football."
Honestly, you can't fault his buddy's analytical talent. Edwards really was a disaster. If this blog contributed in any way to misplaced enthusiasm for any Buffalo Bills – which in turn led to ill-advised IMs, which resulted in firings – please accept our sincere apologies.
We would also like to point out – in our professional capacity as fantasy gurus, not as legal advisors – that laws have been passed which define the terms "bet" and "wager," and fantasy participation has been excluded. Here's a link to a million-word legal definition. Whatever else he did, Pettigrew wasn't gambling. Back off, company spokesman.
If Pettigrew actually owned Trent Edwards, then he's suffered enough. Someone please hire the man.http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_arcade/post/Investment-company-to-fantasy-owners-You-re-fi?urn=fantasy,208825

Boogie's Final Regular Season Rankings
As we head into the playoffs, here were the final Regular Season rankings.
1. Macon Love (11 - 2)
Until someone else steps up, the Love are still the team to beat.
2. Cripple Creek CCDs (8 - 5)
Talk about LIMPING into a first-round bye and divison championship! CCD's squad has looked horrible the past two weeks.
3. Earth Wind and Fire (7 - 6)
After putting up 110 points in Week 13, Earth may be peaking at the right time.
4. Butte Rams (fka Moorehead Please) (6 - 7)
Which Matt Schaub is going to show up for the playoffs?
5. Needmore Action (6 - 7)
Hands down, Willey deserves the award for "Owner of the Year." After being left for the dead, he has cracked the Top 5 and has a legitimate chance of making a run in the playoffs.
6. Crotch Lake Crumbs (6 - 7)
An impressive late-season push allowed Fryx to leapfrog Saber into the playoffs.
7. Brooklyn Bombers (6 - 7)
At the midpoint of the season, it was impossible to imagine the Bombers not making the playoffs. The injury to Benson was a big blow, and the impossible happened.
8. Dewey Decimals (5 - 8)
Everyone who made the playoffs should be glad that the Decimals didn't. TP's squad has been on a terror of late, leading the league in points scored the last two weeks.
9. Savannah Whites (5 - 8)
A solid season, but Kav's squad fell just short. Oh well, he'll now have more time to focus on raiding Fryxell's magazine stash.
10. Pampalo Runners (5 - 8)
B Jones made major strides as an owner this year compared to last. If Gore had remained healthy, the Runners would have likely run deep into the playoffs.
1. Macon Love (11 - 2)
Until someone else steps up, the Love are still the team to beat.
2. Cripple Creek CCDs (8 - 5)

Headlines for Week 13 (please submit your vote)
Top Headlines for week 13 (Vote for your favorite)
Saber and Bombers fall out of playoff and realize war is not the answer, neither is winning. Is this a bad philosphy?
Moorehead gets plenty of head…Is he too relaxed heading into the playoffs after losing 6 in a row?
Decimals write new book, “I give up…2nd highest points and I can’t even make the playoffs, is life worth living?”.
Needmore Action celebrates playoff birth by giving kids early Xmas break. Principal to blame?
CCD gives team last two weeks off to prepare for playoffs, Good decision?
Runners party like rockstars after tying for last place…B. Jones get contract extension.
Crotch Lake wins and wants to put Love, Fire, More Action and Moorehead in his pants…Will this be the team to beat (off) during the playoffs?
Savannah Whites “We tried everthing this year”…Except for winning!
Macon Love getting’ ready for Bacon Love…Is Kevin Bacon’s endorsement for the Love a curse or just the sizzle that they need to win it again?
Earth, Wind and Fire use the Earth’s rotational pull to propel them into the playoffs…How long til the axis shift?
Well as I am sure all of you know Saber didn’t have enough skill to make the playoffs along with TP and Kav and B. Jones (well this was expected). So here is what these fine young chaps will be doing next Sunday morning!
B. Jones-Getting up at 3:30 am…Running while carrying his bike on his back up to the Canadian border and back.
Kav getting up at 3:30 am to change his son’s diaper and realize that there is poop all over everything…He realizes that he should have never gotten the baby bjorn thong diapers…It just doesn’t have the same effect for toddlers.
Saber will get up at 3:30 am driver over to Swanny’s house use the key that Swanny promised him if he got Swanny in our league to open the front door, sneak in his bed and cuddle with Swanny and his wife. Saber gets really lonely during playoff times.
TP will take a cab home at 3:30 am and proceed to have a one way conversation about the trials and tribulations of Fantasty Football with a Pakistani cab driver. Then invite him up for some early morning cinnamon rolls.
Congrats to those who made the playoffs...And Congrats to those who got Lucky!
Cheers

DO NOT PICK UP ANY PLAYERS BEFORE NOON ON THURSDAY!!!!
Dear Swanny,
For the sixth time, here are the rules regarding pick-ups:
"As a reminder, if you want to pick-up a player, here's what you need to do: Send an e-mail to theodore.pawlicki@gmail.com. Include your bid amount and who you'll be dropping. Each pick-up needs to be submitted via a separate e-mail. In the event that two people bid the same amount, the owner who submitted his e-mail first will get the player. Submit your pick-up by midnight on Wednesday. Thursday before noon, TP will send out a note informing the league of who got who. From Thursday afternoon to Sunday at noon, pick-ups can be made directly on the website (first come, first served)."
You picked up Jason Avant at 9:54 this morning. That is illegal. You will be fined.
Also, TP can you please send the Thursday e-mails out before noon? Saber tried picking up Fred Jackson at 12:14 pm. Saber should know better (i.e., he should know to wait for an e-mail), but it's going to be harder to assign him with a fine. The Commissioner's office is looking into the matter right now, and we'll let the League know when a final decision has been made.

Week 12 Recap
Once again, thank you all for joining the conference call this morning. Rather than write a newsletter this week, I decided to simply post a transcript of today’s call. Enjoy!
* * * * *
Boogie: “Thanks to everyone for calling in so early this morning. Before I recap Week 12, I thought it’d be nice if everyone on the call could introduce themselves and let us know where you’re calling-in from. I’ll begin. This is Co-Commissioner Boogie, and I’m calling in from a dog park. I’m currently standing around waiting for my girlfriend’s dog to drop a deuce. As soon as he does, I’ll be ready to pick it up and say something ridiculous like, ‘Good boy – I’m so proud of you!’ Who’s next?”
TP: “This is co-commissioner Pawlicki. I’m calling in from a top secret studio where I’m working on the videos from Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.”
Kav: “This is Coach Kav. I must have dialed the wrong number. I meant to hit the speed dial button for 1-900-BIG-B00BS.”
Saber: “This is Saber. I’m calling in from my girlfriend’s dog house.”
Fryx: “Fryxell here. I’m sitting on my toilet. Hearing Boogie talk about his girlfriend’s dog dropping a deuce got me in the mood.”
Willey: -whispering- “Hey guys, it’s Willey. I’m supposed to be reading today’s school announcements over the intercom, but instead I’m hiding under my desk.”
Swanny: “This is Swanny. I’m reading through the contract my wife just handed me. Apparently she’s refusing to sleep with me until I shave my playoff ‘stache. Oh well, I guess a one week stretch won’t kill me.”
CCD: “CCD here. I’m working on my resume. It should be ready to send to Jack Swarbrick this afternoon.”
B Jones: -breathing heavily- “This is Brennan. I’m on a short pre-work bike ride. I just passed the Paul Bunyan statue on the outskirts of Bemidji.”
B: “This is Big B. I’m sitting naked at my dining room table, eating a bowl of ‘y charms’.”
Fryx: “What are ‘y charms’?”
B: “You know, the cereal with the frosted oats and colored marshmallows and the leprechaun on the box.”
Fryx: “You mean ‘Lucky Charms?’”
B: “I don’t know what ‘Luck’ is, so I just call them ‘y charms’.”
Boogie: “OK, I think I should probably cut in here. Now it’s time for the Week 12 recap. TP, Willey, Fryxell, Kav, and Big B all had impressive victories. Macon won for the 8th consecutive week and secured the regular season championship. In a losing effort, CCD secured 2nd place in the regular season. Swanny put up the third highest point total, but because he was playing TP, he lost by 41 points and dropped his fifth consecutive game!
In the Biel division, it looks like CCD, Swanny, and Boogie are going to make the playoffs. Although if Swanny or Boogie looses while putting up a small point total – and Kav or B Jones win and put up a big number – it’s possible that Kav and/or Brennan could leapfrog their way into the playoffs.
In the Alba division, things are still extremely tight. Willey and Fryx are both 5 – 7, but Willey has 12 more points so he’s currently in a position to edge Fryx out of the playoffs. If Willey and Fryx both win, though, and Saber looses – then Saber would likely be the odd man out. If Willey and Fryx both lose and TP wins, however, then TP will likely leapfrog into the playoffs. All of the different scenarios are making my head hurt.
For as long as I’ve been involved with Fantasy Football, there has never been a season where every single team still has a chance at making the playoffs in the final week. What we’re experiencing right now is UNPRECEDENTED, gentlemen. Let’s all try to enjoy it.
May the best teams win."

As soon as he does, I’ll be ready to pick it up and say something ridiculous like, ‘Good boy – I’m so proud of you!’ Who’s next?”
TP: “This is co-commissioner Pawlicki. I’m calling in from a top secret studio where I’m working on the videos from Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.”
Kav: “This is Coach Kav. I must have dialed the wrong number. I meant to hit the speed dial button for 1-900-BIG-B00BS.”
Saber: “This is Saber. I’m calling in from my girlfriend’s dog house.”
Fryx: “Fryxell here. I’m sitting on my toilet. Hearing Boogie talk about his girlfriend’s dog dropping a deuce got me in the mood.”
Willey: -whispering- “Hey guys, it’s Willey. I’m supposed to be reading today’s school announcements over the intercom, but instead I’m hiding under my desk.”
Swanny: “This is Swanny. I’m reading through the contract my wife just handed me. Apparently she’s refusing to sleep with me until I shave my playoff ‘stache. Oh well, I guess a one week stretch won’t kill me.”
CCD: “CCD here. I’m working on my resume. It should be ready to send to Jack Swarbrick this afternoon.”
B Jones: -breathing heavily- “This is Brennan. I’m on a short pre-work bike ride. I just passed the Paul Bunyan statue on the outskirts of Bemidji.”
B: “This is Big B. I’m sitting naked at my dining room table, eating a bowl of ‘y charms’.”
Fryx: “What are ‘y charms’?”
B: “You know, the cereal with the frosted oats and colored marshmallows and the leprechaun on the box.”
Fryx: “You mean ‘Lucky Charms?’”
B: “I don’t know what ‘Luck’ is, so I just call them ‘y charms’.”
Boogie: “OK, I think I should probably cut in here. Now it’s time for the Week 12 recap. TP, Willey, Fryxell, Kav, and Big B all had impressive victories. Macon won for the 8th consecutive week and secured the regular season championship. In a losing effort, CCD secured 2nd place in the regular season. Swanny put up the third highest point total, but because he was playing TP, he lost by 41 points and dropped his fifth consecutive game!
In the Biel division, it looks like CCD, Swanny, and Boogie are going to make the playoffs. Although if Swanny or Boogie looses while putting up a small point total – and Kav or B Jones win and put up a big number – it’s possible that Kav and/or Brennan could leapfrog their way into the playoffs.
In the Alba division, things are still extremely tight. Willey and Fryx are both 5 – 7, but Willey has 12 more points so he’s currently in a position to edge Fryx out of the playoffs. If Willey and Fryx both win, though, and Saber looses – then Saber would likely be the odd man out. If Willey and Fryx both lose and TP wins, however, then TP will likely leapfrog into the playoffs. All of the different scenarios are making my head hurt.
For as long as I’ve been involved with Fantasy Football, there has never been a season where every single team still has a chance at making the playoffs in the final week. What we’re experiencing right now is UNPRECEDENTED, gentlemen. Let’s all try to enjoy it.
May the best teams win."

Week 11 Recap
Just as one fantasy week is ending another one begins! As a commish a short week is tough in the office. I know the league is buzzing about the Bombers breaking their losing streak and Swanny the Rookie Coach almost falling out of contention for this years "Coach of the Year" Award...What seems to go unnoticed is the win streak that Macon Love has put together. 7 games in a row! That is pretty impressive. Before this win streak his team was a mediocore 2-2...And then they go and win 7 in row. I know we all want to ignore this cause of the often braggy owner Big B, but this is something that can't be overlooked. As for things I am thankful for this holiday season...One of them is not the Macon Love or matter of fact Dewey Decimals...But I am thankful that every team is still in the playoff hunt. This may be a first this late in the year (usually cause B. Jones has been mathematically eliminated by week 6). So the hunt continues for another champion.
Game of the Week this week is CCD vs Macon Love. This will pretty much seal the deal for the Macon if they can win it, but I am saying that CCD is going to put up some monster numbers. So my vote is for CCD...GO Donuts!
I also want to imply a new rule for next year referring to name changing. The only way you can have your team name changed in the middle of the season is if your team gets doubled up in points like lets say week 4 Savannah Whites 120 pts beat Macon Love who only score 54 pts...Then the Whites get to rename the Love with any team name they want and the only way the Macon Love can get their team name back is if they double up another team! What do you think?
I was going to break down last weeks games, but I can already smell the Turkey and will just make a few statements about last week
Kav lost by 6 while TO goes off for 25 pts..on his bench
Moorehead lost by 2 pts...while if you look at this guys bench...There has been speculation that hanging out with Saber has caused this massive collaspe.
I am pulling for the Runners to make the playoffs for the first time in league history! I think Moorhead will fall and a strong Runners team will be in the Fantasy Bowl...Don't say you didn't hear it here first!
Ok enough is enough...Good Luck, God Speed and Big I love of all people you are concerned that I am not returning your phone calls...God Bless America and God Bless FFFL!

Week 11 Rankings
With only two weeks remaining in the regular season, EVERY TEAM still has a chance to make the playoffs. I repeat: EVERY TEAM still has a chance to make the playoffs.
6. Pampalo Runners (5 - 6)
Will B Jones be able to overcome the loss of Ronnie Brown?
7. Crotch Lake Crumbs (4 - 7)
Michael Turner went down, but Rick Williams went up. The Crumbs are extremely dangerous.
9. Needmore Action (4 - 7)
Willey is currently tied for the third playoff spot in the Alba division with Fryxell. And now he's got AP to carry his squad over the goalline.
10. Dewey Decimals (3 - 8)
TP's squad hasn't been getting any of the bounces lately, but he's still only one game back from the playoffs. And he's playing Swanny this week, so his luck may change.
1. Macon Love (9 - 2)
It pains me to write this, but it's true: Big B controls his own destiny (i.e., he'll once again win the regular season championship if he wins the next two games). Macon has won 7 in a row!
2. Cripple Creek CCDs (8 - 3)
The only team with a chance at stripping the regular season title away from Macon. A win this week against Big B would land CCD in first place heading into the final week. Cripple Creek has won 6 in a row!
3. Butte Rams (fka Moorehead Please) (6 - 5)
Four losses in a row have left Swanny doubled-over, gasping for breath. Will he finally stop his losing streak against the last-place Decimals?
4. Earth Wind and Fire (6 - 5)
Huge match-up against Crotch Lake this week.

Can you imagine how good Kav's team would be if he had AP instead of Matt Forte or Tim Hightower. Oh wait, he did have AP.

Hopefully my co-commish will send the newsletter out today.
In honor of today being the day we'll all eat way too much, I thought I'd leave you with the following image. (Note: these are two Notre Dame fans, which may explain why CCD loves the Irish so much.)
Happy Turkey Day, dudes!

Week 10 Recap
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Each year, our league seems to experience more and more parity. And yet things have never been as close as they are this year. With only three weeks remaining, I can honestly say the following: EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE STILL HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS! Think about that. That's pretty amazing.
Week 10 saw Big B, Willey, Kav, CCD, and B Jones notch important victories.
Macon in now three games up in the Alba Division, and can likely coast to a first-round bye. In order to secure the regular season championship, however, Macon is going to have to hold off the fast-charging CCDs, who have won five in a row and are only one game back.
My early pick for owner of the year would have to be Willey. After Week 7, his squad was dead in the water with a 1-6 record. Three weeks later - and three victories later - Willey stands alone in third place of his division. Oh, and he just acquired some guy named Adrian Peterson.
I also need to give a big shout out to B Jones. The Runners have won three straight games and are now tied for third place in the Biel division. As surprising as it seems, B Jones now has a great shot of making the playoffs and doing some damage when he gets there. Do I have to remind you that this is the same B Jones who wasn't even going to pick up a kicker because it was too much of a hassle?
While Willey seems to be the early favorite for Best Owner of the Year, I'm not quite ready to make a prediction on Worst Owner of the Year. That's because Saber and Swanny keep trying to outdo one another. Combined, SABER AND SWANNY HAVE LOST SEVEN GAMES IN A ROW!!!! Their squads are both projected to put up 125+ points this week, though, so maybe they'll be able to snap out of their respective funks.
Proving just how superior the Biel division is compared to the Alba division, please note that Kav is in last place at 4 - 6. AND YET HE COULD STILL WIN THE DIVISION IF HE WINS HIS NEXT THREE GAMES. Things haven't been this tight since Big B tried to carry that punching bag full of water up three flights of stairs to his attic/room.
Fryx and TP share the distinct honor of having the worst record at 3 - 7. And yet they're both just two games back from second place in their division.
These final three weeks are going to be very, very interesting. Strap up, gentlemen.

Week 9 Rankings - from a San Fran Starbucks
1. Macon Love (7 - 2)
This can't be happening again, can it?
2. Cripple Creek CCDs (6 - 3)
CCD has achieved what every man wants: he's on top of Biel.
3. Moorehead Please (6 - 3)
Apparently Swanny isn't spending enough time preparing on Game Day.
4. Earth Wind and Fire (5 - 4)
Big game this week against big brother.
5. Brooklyn Bombers (5 - 4)
This is why you don't want your team to peak too early.
6. Pampalo Runners (4 - 5)
The Runners are making a legitimate playoff run.
7. Crotch Lake Crumbs (3 - 6)
The Crumbs are still within striking distance.
8. Dewey Decimals (3 - 6)
Only two games backs from the Top 4.
9. Savannah Whites (3 - 6)
Kav is also only two games back from the Top 4.
10. Needmore Action (3 - 6)
I repeat: Willey is only two games back from being in the Top 4!

Time Doesn't Heal Wounds Week in Review
Time Doesn’t Heal Wounds
As I sit not wanting to write this weeks letter, my mind keeps taking me back to Monday Night. My whole week has been ruined and even the thongs of Eva Longoria and the dances by Candy at the local establishment nothing can cure what fantasty football has done to me this week. This will be short and probably not to the point. So here is the review…
Dewey 82 vs Macon Love 83- This game came down to the last minute in a game. Jeff Reed kicked a bobbled snapped field goal and Dewey was defeated...Defeated in all ways. The only good thing that came out of this is knowing that Big B had to go through four quarters of screaming, swearing and almost losing his bride-to-be...I guess in the end that is worth more than a fantasy win...
EWF 81 vs Moorhead 72-Now I understand why Swanny is the league rookie benching Cutler against Arz. is a questionable call and starting Barber and Charles ahead of Mendenhall...Rookie mistakes cost him this week and could cost him the league title...But I guess he is just a kid and hopefully he will learn not to put his hand on the hot stove again...As for a 5-4 team you would think that putting up more than 81 pts wouldn't be that hard??? Also a questionable call starting McNabb over Rivers? Boogie you should be boogie bounced right out of the roll of starting your players...Eee Gads! I think neither of you should have one...So I am voiding this game.
CCD 104 vs Bombers 79- I don't want to take away from CCD who has quietly moved into first place in the Biel divison Congrats CCD on that, but the real story here is how long will the Saber losing streak go???? I think the name the Bombers is perfect. The seem to always bomb at the end of the season! But next week he plays Willey who has a little win streak going for himself...I think Saber will drop 4 straight and be dropping bombs right out of the playoffs...
Ok I am sorry...but I just got into a bad mood thinking of the Monday night game...I can't be creative so I don't want you to have to read nonsense that I type...
Huge trade in the league and I think Kav made a great deal...But only time will tell!
B Jones is 4-5 matching his total wins from last year and it is only week 9!!! B. Jones is back and ready! Nice work
Needmoore action has been getting plently over the last few weeks...I actually saw him walking with some hotties from the Applebees the other night...Nice work WIlley...
FYI...This letter sucks and hopefully next time you see me will be in a video post to make up for the lost time reading this...
Thongs!

How we handle trades? Important
Since there are some trade talks brewing. We want to make sure that the league is together on the trading system. In the past we have needed a majority to approve of a trade. After speaking with my Co-Commish we are thinking that we can all be on the honor system here and if two owners agree to a trade there will be no need for league approval. If you are NOT ok with letting the owners decide and want the league to have a majority rule then let your voices be heard. Also if you agree with that the owners can decide please reply with an "Yeah or na".
Thanks
TP
FYI I trust you guys...well except a owner to remain nameless, but his first name starts with a B and ends in a N and has rian in the middle...My vote is a "Yeah"
Let me know
Thanks

A Window into First Place
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make it to the top? We here at the Commissioner's Office decided to find out, so we asked Swanny's wife to give us a glimpse of how her husband prepares for Game Day. Here's what she wrote:
* * * * *
Sunday mornings, for many, include a trip to church and lunch with family. Not so much in the Swanson household. The schedule instead you ask? 1. Wake up. 2. Turn on ESPN IMMEDIATELY while cooking/eating breakfast to see if any of the players on the fantasy football team “Morehead Please” are injured, in jail, or otherwise. 3. Once he has established that they are all still viable to play, he goes online to read the online fantasy football reports about who is playing who and about offense and defenses (this often starts Saturday night). He also visits other necessary sites to decide which players in each spot should “start.” 4. Consult with wife and talk incessantly about hard to make decisions on which player to play. He often doesn’t care if he is talking to his wife, the dog, or his 17 month old daughter, as long as they have ears and can acknowledge that he is speaking. 5. Stare at the laptop screen until the very last minute of possible changes can be made and figure out what time what games are being played and on which channels. 6. Talk incessantly about if he made the right calls on who to start and who to bench. 7. Wait for the games to start. He often spends this time playing with his daughter. (This past week Greg’s wife offered to go with him to Menards to get some things for the house and go out to lunch. Greg kindly offered to stay home with his daughter and allow his wife some “alone time” while shopping. So kind of him, don’t you think?!?! Even a bribe of sex after the games were over didn’t sway his decision to visit Menards?!?! Huh?!?! Talk about an insult or an addiction problem! J) 8. Once the games have started, he can be found with laptop on his lap, remote in close vicinity to hand. If his wife requests help with a certain task, Greg will do it, but he wastes no time getting to and from the task. The man can be a laundry folding machine if the clean laundry is brought to him in the living room to fold while watching the games. 9. This is where the variation in the schedule occurs. A. If he is winning, he tells his wife and whoever will listen that he is “winning his fantasy football game” over and OVER AND OVER AGAIN. B. if he is losing, his wife will remind him that he is “losing his fantasy football game” over and OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
One Sunday afternoon, Greg had to meet his cousins (he hadn’t seen in YEARS) and family for lunch. Fortunately, the laptop stayed home, but the Apple iPhone came with. His wife had to hold it all the way to the restaurant (because Greg was driving) and to constantly refresh to see what points had occurred and announce when it happened, how many points, and who. At the restaurant, the phone sat conveniently on the table. Greg constantly hit refresh while trying to have a conversation with his cousins. I bet he can’t tell you what one of the conversations was about?!?!
This Sunday afternoon ritual often continues to be the scene until it is the last minute possible for Greg to run out the door to open the Gym for open gym mens basketball. If a super important game is to be played on TV, Greg has talked about getting a sub to open the gym or just cancelling the night all together. Monday night football is not AS BAD as Sundays, but Greg can be found perched in his chair, laptop in hand.
Some facts to know:
1. Greg has reminded his wife that he didn’t spend his whole budget at the draft.
2. Greg has reminded his wife that he doesn’t LIKE fantasy football and it was HER idea to PUSH him into the league with Sabes, so it is HER fault that he spends Sunday and Monday nights in front of the TV.
3. Greg has reminded his wife that he had only one loss up to last week and it was due to his superior coaching skills, not his superior players. (Don’t forget that he didn’t spend his whole budget at the fantasy football draft.)
4. Greg’s wife believes there should be a support group started for Fantasy Football Addicts and their families.
5. Greg’s wife, who loves HOCKEY, NOT FOOTBALL, can now name many players in the NFL , their teams, positions, current injuries and/or issues with the law. All information that will get her to excel in her life as a teacher and mother.
* * * * *
Clearly, success takes a lot of dedication. Enjoy the weekend, fellas!

One Sunday afternoon, Greg had to meet his cousins (he hadn’t seen in YEARS) and family for lunch. Fortunately, the laptop stayed home, but the Apple iPhone came with. His wife had to hold it all the way to the restaurant (because Greg was driving) and to constantly refresh to see what points had occurred and announce when it happened, how many points, and who. At the restaurant, the phone sat conveniently on the table. Greg constantly hit refresh while trying to have a conversation with his cousins. I bet he can’t tell you what one of the conversations was about?!?!
This Sunday afternoon ritual often continues to be the scene until it is the last minute possible for Greg to run out the door to open the Gym for open gym mens basketball. If a super important game is to be played on TV, Greg has talked about getting a sub to open the gym or just cancelling the night all together. Monday night football is not AS BAD as Sundays, but Greg can be found perched in his chair, laptop in hand.
Some facts to know:
1. Greg has reminded his wife that he didn’t spend his whole budget at the draft.
2. Greg has reminded his wife that he doesn’t LIKE fantasy football and it was HER idea to PUSH him into the league with Sabes, so it is HER fault that he spends Sunday and Monday nights in front of the TV.
3. Greg has reminded his wife that he had only one loss up to last week and it was due to his superior coaching skills, not his superior players. (Don’t forget that he didn’t spend his whole budget at the fantasy football draft.)
4. Greg’s wife believes there should be a support group started for Fantasy Football Addicts and their families.
5. Greg’s wife, who loves HOCKEY, NOT FOOTBALL, can now name many players in the NFL , their teams, positions, current injuries and/or issues with the law. All information that will get her to excel in her life as a teacher and mother.

Clearly, success takes a lot of dedication. Enjoy the weekend, fellas!
Week 8 Rankings
1. Moorehead Please (6 - 2)
Is the streak over? After getting spanked last week by B Jones, Swanny now has to face Boogie's always-dangerous squad.
2. Macon Love (6 - 2)
Big B is so close to first place that he can almost taste it. TP's mission this week is to smack that taste out of his mouth.
3. Cripple Creek CCDs (5 - 3)
CCD's team is arguably the hottest one in the league. He's got a monster match-up this week against Saber.
4. Brooklyn Bombers (5 - 3)
Oh, how the might have fallen! The good news is that Saber is projected to score 100 this week. The bad news is that CCD is projected to score 118.
5. Earth Wind and Fire (4 - 4)
This week's game against Moorehead should decide whether Earth is a contender or pretender.
6. Crotch Lake Crumbs (3 - 5)
Fryx put up 111 points last week. My darkhorse prediction to win the whole league.
7. Dewey Decimals (3 - 5)
One of four teams with a 3 - 5 record. If TP wants to make the playoffs, a victory over Macon would drastically improve his chances.
8. Savannah Whites (3 - 5)
One of four teams with a 3 - 5 record. Is Week 9 a must-win?
9. Pampalo Runners (3 - 5)
Huge win over Swanny last week! With the return of Frank Gore, Pampalo is ready to go streaking.
10. Needmore Action (2 - 6)
Willey's on a winning streak. Can the Action run the table?

Week 8 Recap
And this, my friends, is why fantasy football is so amazing. Or agonizing, depending on who you are.
In Week 8, we witnessed the following:
- The teams with the three worst records in the league put up the three highest point totals (Needmore, Crotch Lake, and Pampalo).
- The teams with the two best records in the league failed to score more than 70 points.
- The team that scored the most point last week (131) scored the fewest points this week (66). (For those of you who didn't take Math Sampler at St. Thomas, that's a 65 point drop off in one week!)
Here are my headlines and thoughts on the Week 8 results:
Needmore Not Ready to Say Uncle
While lesser owners may have given up on the season after falling 5 games below .500, Willey is continuing to fight. And WIN. The Action put up 98 points en route to securing their 2nd win of the season. No one should want to play Willey's squad right now.
Brooklyn Craps the Bed Against Crotch Lake
Last week the question was raised: is Saber's squad free-falling? We may be closer to knowing that answer now, as Brooklyn lost for the second week in a row. Also, no one should want to play Fryxell's team right now.
B Jones Smacks Cocky Smirk off Swanny's Face
(Q) What happens when you start sending out e-mails referring to yourself as The King? (A) Your team gets run over by the Runners. Behind 31 points from A Rodg, Pampalo slapped Moorehead back to reality. Again, no one should want to play B Jones's squad right now. Sound familiar?
Macon Makes Savannah Vanish
If the Love ends up getting a first-round bye and/or repeating as FFFL Champions, remember Chris Johsnon's performance in Week 8 as the turning point. Johnson's 35 points single-handily propelled B's squad into a tie for 1st place. The smart money is on Big B's trash-talking to increase significantly, which should make everyone in the league shudder.
Cripple Creek Crushes Earth
CCDs squad rose to the occasion and won this crucial match-up of 4-3 teams. Maurice Jones-Drew scored 29 points despite having only 8 carries. Using that logic, if he would have had 20 carries, he would have scored 73 points.
With five weeks remaining in the regular season, now is when the true contenders will be separated from the pretenders.
Oh...and one more thing. Since no one else has submitted a baby picture, I decided to post one of my own.

Boogie's Week 7 Rankings
1. Moorehead Please (6 - 1)
Rumor has it Swanny is considering only starting 6 players this week, in order to give Pampalo a fair chance of winning.
2. Brooklyn Bombers (5 - 2)
Facing another tough match-up as Crotch Lake is projected to put up 100 points. Is Brooklyn about to start free-falling?
3. Macon Love (5 - 2)
If you think Big B has been talking trash of late, I give you this grim truth: a victory by B coupled with a Saber loss would give Macon sole position of 2nd Place. We're not going to let him win the whole thing again this year, are we?
4. Earth Wind and Fire (4 - 3)
My squad put up 131 points last week, but is projected to put up only 83 this week. EWF is like Joey/Albert Belle: we either hit a 500 foot home run or strike out.
5. Cripple Creek CCDs (4 - 3)
Huge match-up against EWF this week. There's a big difference between being 5 - 3 and 4 - 4.
6. Dewey Decimals (3 - 4)
After putting up 117 last week, the Decimals are projected to put up 122 this week. Is TP's team ready to take off?
7. Savannah Whites (3 - 4)
Since he's playing Big B this week, Kav should take comfort knowing that every other team in the league is cheering for him.
8. Crotch Lake Crumbs (2 - 5)
If he pulls off an upset over Saber, Fryx will be right back in the hunt. And since his squad's projected to have a big week, that scenario seems quite possible.
9. Pampalo Runners (2 - 5)
B Jones is going up against Swanny, which means that Brennan also should take comfort knowing that every other team in the league is cheering for him.
10. Needmore Action (1 - 6)
The fact that Willey's team is 1 - 6 just shows how deep our league is. His squad is projected to put up 107 this week - and yet he's up against a team projected to score 122. Sigh...the life of an unlucky fantasy football owner.

Commissioners Strike Back in Week 7!!!
What a week for some (Both Commish's put up huge numbers) and what a bunch of weak teams for the others! This fantasy league is so unpredictable. The only thing that is predictable from week to week is that Needmore will lose and Moorehead will win! After looking over last weeks matchups I have decided to put together some 'fun numbers' for all of you fantasty fans.
5. If you added Whites and Runners total scores they still wouldn't of beat EWF 131 pts
4. 5 teams have higher points totals than Macon Love, yet he still is tied for 1st place. (Maybe we should listen to more of Big B ideas...He would probably only have 5 wins if we played his double header suggestions)
3. Moorehead is 6-1 and his points against is 494 the leagues lowest by 69 pts...Let's stop taking it easy on the new guy are start putting up points against this joker.
2. The best record that Needmore can finish with is 7-6. (The question is what will they really finish with...I am not going to say anymore cause I play them this week)
1. If the playoffs started today Kav would miss the playoffs for the first time since joining the league...
Match Up Reviews
EWF 131 vs Needmore 61-Needmore points is more like it...Willey has 6 guys with injuries on his roster...I think he should start planning for next year or stop consulting with Roach on the day before the draft. EWF is on a nice two game win streak putting up monster numbers in both weeks...While Coach Boogie sits in bed with the Swine Flu...He teams is out performing for the sick coach.
Macon Love (95) vs Bombers (88)-I think this was a must win for Saber not for the sake of his season, but for the sake of his sanity. This is the Bombers second loss to Big B this year and I can only imagine how Sabers insides felt when he saw Owen Daniels put up 18 pts...Macon is the worst 5-2 in recent FFFL history...He will fall, the question is how soon?
CCD (80) vs Runners (62)-The only reason CCD won this game was because he was playing the Runners (well if you want to get technical he also put up more pts). I think CCD even tried to play nice by starting his backup RB's Clinton Portis and A. Bradshaw...WHAT? Those are his starting RB's...Sorry my fault...The only thing CCD has going for him is he plays Needmoore in the last week of the season. CCD could be hurting playing EWF, Bombers, Moorehead, Dewey and Macon his next 5 games..Ouch good luck CCD. As for the Runners the cliche still remains...If you play the runners..Come on everyone, "It's like you are on a bye week"
Moorhead (84) vs Whites (60)-The story of the year is Moorehead...Remember when we were all laughing at him and calling Swanny and moron and thanking Saber for brining him into our league...You remember that after he left the draft and Kav picked up a stuffed animal and started humping it and saying, "How does that feel Swanny"...Who is the stuffed animal now Kav? It is so hard to pin point the problem with Kav's team...maybe it's the WR putting up a combined 3 pts...or maybe it is his RB putting up 4 points..or maybe its just his whole damn team. I think the Kav dynasty is coming to an end...Time to hit the strip clubs!
Crotch Lake (65) vs Dewey (117)-Crotch lake is a team in absolute disarray! The have struggled the last two week putting up not so good numbers. Is there hope? Of course there is...Who do you want at the head of the offense when B'ville is down 21 pts with 6 minutes left...Fryx...If a guy can turn it around it is Fryx...Will he do it...That is up to him...The Decimals have put up huge numbers the last two weeks and are looking forward...
Good Luck this week and have fun at Big B's gong show!

Week 6 Recap: The Swine Flu Edition
I've been bedridden with some type of virus for the past five days, so forgive me if this Newsletter is a bit short.
Here's what happened in Week 6:
- CCD knocked off Kav 131 - 115 in what will likely be the game of the year. Tom Brady looked like he was throwing against Metcalf Junior High's secondary.
- Swanny continued to lay the smack down by putting up 118 points against Willey while winning his 5th straight game.
- Saber also had yet another impressive victory, edging TP's squad 115 - 104. (I wonder if TP and Kav wish they could change their vote on Big B's draft-day proposal, which would have awarded them some points for putting up big numbers in a losing effort.)
- Speaking of Big B, his team steam-rolled Fryxell's fellas 108 - 76, thanks in large part to the stubby legs of Ray Rice, who put up 30 points against the Vikings' D.
- In the only game that didn't involve a team crossing the century mark, I knocked of B Jones 92 - 67 because Deangelo Williams finally did something.
The standings are still quite crowded. Swanny and Saber are perched up top at 5 - 1. Big B is the lone team at 4 - 2. And then there are three teams at 3 - 3, and three teams at 2 - 4.
Because I'm too tired to write anymore, I'm going to ask you all a favor. Please send me a photo of yourself when you were 5 or younger. Throughout the rest of the year, I'll post 'em as a way for us to get to know each other better. If you don't send me a photo, I'll post one on my own.
Since I had already talked to Kav about this project last week, I can go ahead and post the photo of himself that he submitted. Enjoy!

Boogie's Week 5 Rankings
1. Moorehead Please (4 - 1)
The Juggernaut just keeps on rolling. Are the rest of us simply playing for 2nd place?
2. Brooklyn Bombers (4 - 1)
Is the Brooklyn Bridge on the verge of falling down? The Bombers put up only 80 points in Week 4, and this week they have a tough game against...the Dewey Decimals? Oh, never mind. All is well in Brooklyn.
3. Savannah Whites (3 - 2)
I stand corrected, Coach Kav. Playing against my squad is like having a bye week.
4. Macon Love (3 - 2)
Insiders keep whispering that all of this wedding planning is starting to distract Big B. We'll know a lot more after this week's big showdown with Crotch Lake.
5. Crotch Lake Crumbs (2 - 3)
No one should want to play Fryxell's squad right now. Warner, Turner, and Roddy all seem to be hitting their strides.
6. Pampalo Runners (2 - 3)
B Jones team is a butterface. When you look at his squad, you start to get a bit excited, but then once you get a full look, you ultimately end up wincing.
7. Cripple Creek CCDs (2 - 3)
If only the League awarded points for hyphenated last names (Jones-Drew and Sims-Walker).
8. Earth Wind and Fire (2 - 3)
Will the alien who has abducted Anquan Boldin please return him to the Arizona Cardinals? Thanks.
9. Dewey Decimals (2 - 3)
If you're listening at home kids, pay attention: do not become a co-commissioner of the FFFL. If you do, your team will suck.
10. Needmore Action (1 - 4)
Willey's squad is entering "must win" territory, which is not exactly where you want to be on the eve of a match-up with Moorehead. Just to prove how bizarre fantasy football is, I'm predicting that Willey beats Swanny this weekend. You heard it here first.

Week (question mark) in review brief
So as I am sitting here in an Austrian cafe thinking about how smokez it is and where the hell the y kez is on this keyboard i am thinking about Arnold and all the orgy parties he had and what fun that must of been having relations with all the young and innocent girls...I bet this is how Swanny is feeling right now!!! He came in playing all dumb buying a tighend for $38 and laughing it off. Losing week one and having a little smirk on his face and then he said to himself...i am going to make this league my personal orgy! Swanny has put together a four game win streak and is making me feel even worse than losing to Big B last week...so with that said here is the week in review!!!
Crotch Lake vs CCD...When you have a good week, you have a good week...all of crotch lakes players were on fire even his bench...putting up huge numbers...CCD teams has a bad week and these weeks will continue for him...Two of his WR put up 0 pts...
EWF vs Whites...Kavs team is good Boogies team is not good...Kav has good balance, Boogie is stumbling home late after a night at sex world. Kavs teams had no one on bye, Boogies whole team was on buy...well his big studs...We all have these week.
Bombers vs Needmore...I am not sure how Sabers team keep on winning...it makes no sense at all..except that he can use the phrase...the best offense is playing a team that doesnät put up any points...need more still needs a lot more...we not really he is one stud away from putting up some numbers...come on Willey...you can do it...i am a believer...
Runners vs Moorehead...So Swanny is the real deal...hopefully he is like Saber and chockes on himself during the late part of the season...it is not likely to happen..Well i think it is..once he feels the pressure of the FFFL watch for Swanny to do the worst kind of Swan dive toward the end of the season...
Macon vs Decimals...Sick, Digusting...All those things apply to this game...Steven Jackson fumbling on the one killed the Decimals and also the fact that his kicker put up yero points...all this smoke is making me sick, but looking at this score is making me sicker...ok over and out from Austria!!!
Crotch Lake vs CCD...When you have a good week, you have a good week...all of crotch lakes players were on fire even his bench...putting up huge numbers...CCD teams has a bad week and these weeks will continue for him...Two of his WR put up 0 pts...

Boogie's Week 4 Rankings
1. Moorehead Please (3 - 1)
Swanny's a hustler. We're all a bunch of chumps. He was apparently just "faking it" in Week 1.
2. Brooklyn Bombers (3 - 1)
Saber is already two games up on both Fryxell and Willey. Being "on top" is not something that Saber is used to.
3. Pampalo Runners (2 - 2)
In addition to leading the league in to total points, B Jones also leads the league in total number of ab crunches done each morning.
4. Cripple Creek CCDs (2 - 2)
CCD's squad reminds me a lot of mild cheese. I can't tell if they're good or not.
5. Earth Wind and Fire (2 - 2)
My squad reminds me a lot of moldy cheese. There's a good chance it's likely about to start to stink.
6. Savannah Whites (2 - 2)
Kav's squad has lost two in a row. On a related note, Fryx dropped off some magazines at Kav's place two weeks ago.
7. Macon Love (2 -2)
This just in: the Commissioner's Office recently received a request to relocate the Love franchise to a city named, "No."
8. Dewey Decimals (2 - 2)
This just in: the Commissioner's Office recently received a request to relocate this franchise to a city named, "Dog," but we're thinking that we should then change the nickname from Decimals to Dewey.
9. Crotch Lake Crumbs (1 - 3)
It's only week 5, but the Crumbs are already in "must win" territory.
10. Needmore Action (1 - 3)
Hey, at least Willey's squad is on a winning streak!

Week 4 Recap
Today I'm feeling like one of those chumps in White Men Can't Jump that gets hustled by Woody Harleson and Wesley Snipes. Because lets face it boys: we've all been hustled. Instead of being hustled by the W&W Boys (Woody and Wesley), though, we've been hustled by the S&S Boys (Saber and Swanny). I MEAN...what in the devil is going on right now? Should we officialy change the name of our league to the Dassel Cokato Fantasy Football League?
Didn't Saber tell us that Swanny was a fantasy rookie? I'm starting to think that he's a hustler and we're all his chumps. After trying to lull us all to sleep in Week 1, Swanny's team has exploded. Moorehead has won three games in a row while averaging roughly 100 points per week. And sitting atop the other division is Saber's squad, as the Bombers of Brooklyn had yet another impressive performance in Week 4.
While Saber and Swanny are alone in first place of their respective divisions, second place is as competitive as it can get. Six other teams are 2 - 2, including all of the other four teams in the Biel division! Remember how Kav's team looked unbeatable after two weeks? Well now his squad is in last place in his division! Remember how Brennan's team seemed hopeless after two weeks? His squad is now currently leading the entire league in terms of total points scored!
Without further ado, here's what happened in Week 4:
Moorehead 98, Savannah 56
Swanny's team beat Kav's squad by 42 points. (No, that's not a misprint.) Swanny had maybe the pick-up of the year when he added Mendenhall right before kickoff and got 30 points out of him. When Kav's 2nd RB and 2nd WR put up 0 points each, playing Savannah is a lot like having a bye week.
Pampalo 98, Cripple Creek 88
B Jones's squad apparently doesn't need Frank Gore afterall. Ronnie Brown and Joseph Addai combined for 38 points. Neither of CCD's running backs broke double digits. On the positive side, neither of CCD's vehicles were stolen this weekend.
Brooklyn 94, Crotch Lake 72
Saber's team continues to surprise, thanks in large part to the surprising seasons of Joe Flacco and the other Steve Smith. Crotch Lake's Week 4 line-up may have been one of the least recognizable I've ever seen: Orton, P. Thomas, Moreno, Burleson, Walter, Garcon, Keller, and Longwell. When Kyle Orton is the biggest name in your line-up, you've got problems. If I would have slipped in a "Warder" or a "Punto" into that line-up, no one would have noticed.
Earth 91, Dewey 70
The Philip Rivers - Antonio Gates combo accounted for more than half of my squad's points. (48 to be exact.) The #2 combo at Wendy's was apparently the only thing on TP's squad's collective mind.
Needmore 89, Macon 67
If Favre keeps this up, Willey's squad may go on a serious winning streak. If Big B keeps starting Shaun Hill, the Love may go on a serious losing streak. Kav and Big B are apparently in a competition to see who's team can free-fall faster?
Good luck in Week 5, gentlemen!

Week Three in Review
So once again Hans Olson can open his bottle of Champagne for another year…There will be no teams that go undefeated this year! After a week of big numbers and well lets say not such big numbers (ahhhhummm Big B). The league is balancing out. Our newcomer SwannyMcSwanerson has put together a nice two game win streak and is back on track to show the league that his team is for real. On the other hand Willey’s team is hurting…An 0-3 start can they make a run at the playoffs??? Here is Week 3 Game by Game Analysis
Macon Love vs Pampalo Runners: The runners were off running last week went they sent Macon looking for some love…Even with his best player having no points and one of his receivers also having no points, the runners ran all over Macon and its quest for Love. Macon was so over matched if Pampalo would of started there bench against Macon they would of lost by just two points…Is this a fluke or the real deal. I think Big B was to focused on his wedding rehearsal..I am not sure I agree with the blue cap though Big B…but she is hot!!!
Savannah Whites vs CCD (76-93) CCD came out firing with 3 TD’s by Jones Drew, but lets not lets this fool anybody…Even though CCD is 2-1 his teams has some real issues with his receiving core. Will the real Steve Smith please stand up..3 pts on a Monday night game…He is hurting and needs to make a trade or something…As for the Whites if AP has a bad game, they will lose, if AP has a good game they will win…They live and die with AP…
Crumbs vs Action (94-82) Even with a point spread of 72, the Crumbs decided to make a statement and out perform the Vegas odds…The Crumbs had a solid attack putting up good numbers all around…They may need to look at their receiving core also, but none the less a very solid week for the cumbs…Needmore Action needs a lot more than just action they need a win, some halfway decent players and for their players to start playing…Needmore has to of the first round bust in Forte and Fitzgerald…It is tough to recover from that but if anyone can do it…It would be Needmore.
Moorehead vs EWF (82-72) This game was as exciting as going to a funeral on Superbowl Sunday. There really isn’t anything to really say, one team got a victory and one team lost…Swanson was carried by its TE and K…And he QB who had 27pts…When I look at EWF the only thing that comes to mind is the word over coaching. The only upside to this game is that EWF bench has a great week!! Keep it up!
Decimals vs Bombers (63-82) One name for this game Drew Brees...He put up 8 pts..8 pts…most people would start Brees on his buy week cause he would get more than 8 pts. The Decimlas had a rough week, but will be back with some new blood this week…what is there a trade pending??? As for the Bombers, well they will take a win anyway they can get it…I can see Saber trying to argue with Big B about how his team is better and get all disgusted and say, “Big Bbbbbbb”…The Bombers had a balanced attack and will need to put up more pts in the future if they want to really take this league on!!!
Good Luck this week and remember it is not just football…Its Fantasy Football
Macon Love vs Pampalo Runners: The runners were off running last week went they sent Macon looking for some love…Even with his best player having no points and one of his receivers also having no points, the runners ran all over Macon and its quest for Love.

Boogie's Week 2 Rankings
1. Savannah Whites 2 - 0 (1) =
Rumor has it that Kav was seen shopping for a new pair of pants that would go well with a green jacket. In other words, the Whites are getting a bit cocky.
2. Macon Love 2 - 0 (2) =
The Love found a way to win, and his name was Chris Johnson. But with five players currently listed on the injury report, is Macon's ride about to come to an end?
3. Dewey Decimals 2 - 0 (4) +
TP should seriously consider changing his team's name to Drewey Decimals. This squad is a one-trick pony...but the pony just so happens to be an over sized Clydesdale.
4. Earth Wind and Fire 1 - 1 (8) +
After scoring only 71 points in Week 1, EWF exploded for 110 points in Week 2. Which team will show up in Week 3?
5. Moorehead Please 1 -1 (9) +
Speaking of exploding, Swanny's team put up 68 points in Week 1 and 112 points in Week 2! This recent development has owners across the league scanning their schedule and saying something they never thought they would: "I don't want Moorehead."
6. Brooklyn Bombers 1 - 1 (5) -
When something named Chansi Stuckey is in your starting line-up, there's a problem. Bombers fans are starting to speculate that these questionable transactions indicate that their owner may be "drunk on love."
7. Cripple Creek Chili-Covered Donuts 1 - 1 (3) -
CCD's team played like someone filled their Gatorade jugs with chili. On a related note, CCD just got mildly aroused while reading that last sentence.
8. Crotch Lake Crumbs 0 - 2 (7) -
Random thought: When Roddy and LenDale White take their families out to dinner, is it weird for them to stand up and follow when the hostess says, "White family of four, your table is now ready."
9. Pampalo Runners 0 - 2 (10) +
B Jones's WRs combined for 5 points in Week 2. Does anyone know if Greg Jennings is still on the Packers roster?
10. Needmore Action 0 -2 (6) -
How does a team with Fitzgerald and Wayne at WR end up being ranked #10? Two words: Matt Forte.

Boogie's Week 2 Newsletter
TP & I will be alternating who publishes the newsletter every other week. This week's newsletter will include "Players of the Week" and "Players of the Weak." Look for Boogie's Week 2 Rankings to be released on Friday.
No word yet if Jacobs was shot in the leg by Plaxico Burress right before kick-off, but all signs seem to indicate that he was.
WR - Roy Williams (1 points)
The other Roy Williams would have been a better start by TP. And when I say "the other Roy Williams," I'm not talking about the Bengals' safety. I'm talking about North Carolina's basketball coach.
TE - Benjamin Watson (2 points)
If week two was in fact an orgy, Ben Watson played the role of this guy.
K - Robbie Gould (5 points)
Few people know that "Robbie" is actually short for "Roberta."
Players of the Week
QB - Matt Schaub (33 points)
Matt Schaub is on a MISSION. A mission to crack Swanny's starting line-up, that is.
RB - Chris Johnson (45 points)
If week 2 was an orgy, Chris Johnson played the role of Wilt Chamberlain.
WR - Andre Johnson (26 points)
On a related note, Saber was spotted on Monday morning walking around Lake Calhoun wearing a t-shirt that read: "My Johnson is Bigger Than Your's."
TE - Kellen Winslow (15 points)
Kellen Winslows is also on a MISSION. A mission to crack Swanny's starting line-up, that is.
K - Nate Kaeding (14 points)
In addition to racking up 14 points, he did something else extremely impressive: he actually cracked Swanny's starting line-up!
This just in: 3 of the 5 Players of the Week were on Swanny's squad. That may be a record.
This also just in: 2 of them were on his bench. That's definitely a record.
Players of the Weak
QB - Tom Brady (10 points)
In Tom's defense, if I went to bed every night with this girl, I might be a bit fatigued on gameday as well.

Boogie's Week One Rankings
After each ranking, there will be the team's record, its previous ranking from the week before, as well as a +, = or - to indicate if the team's ranking increased, stayed the same or decreased. Without further ado...
1. Savannah Whites 1 - 0 (1) =
AP may or may not be human. Kav's squad put up the most points and maintained its #1 ranking.
2. Macon Love 1 - 0 (6) +
By putting up 94 points, the defending champs jumped four spots in the rankings and sent a message to the rest of the league: Love hurts.
3. Cripple Creek Chili-Covered Donuts 1 - 0 (3) =
Guess who's back? Back again? Brady's back. Back again.
4. Dewey Decimals 1 - 0 (8) +
If Drew Brees averages 41 points per week, two things will happen: (1) TP's team will probably make the playoffs, and (2) monkeys will fly out of my butt.
5. Brooklyn Bombers 1 - 0 (2) -
Normally they say "a win is a win," but I'm not sure if that still applies when it's a victory over Moorehead.
6. Needmore Action 0 -1 (4) -
Willey's team needs a lot more than just Action. How about a QB that puts up more than 9 points?
7. Crotch Lake Crumbs 0 - 1 (5) -
This squad may want to change its name to the Crotch Lake Crabs. Was Fryxell wasted during the auction?
8. Earth Wind and Fire 0 - 1 (7) -
Chad Ochocinco should change his name to Chad Ochostinko. This team should consider making wholesale changes, starting with its owner.
9. Moorehead Please 0 -1 (10) +
This team only put up 68 points in Week 1 and yet somehow climbed up in the rankings? How is that even possible? Oh, that's right...
10. Pampalo Runners 0 - 1 (9) -
"They are who we thought they were!" - Denny Green
1. Savannah Whites 1 - 0 (1) =
AP may or may not be human. Kav's squad put up the most points and maintained its #1 ranking.
2. Macon Love 1 - 0 (6) +

4. Dewey Decimals 1 - 0 (8) +
If Drew Brees averages 41 points per week, two things will happen: (1) TP's team will probably make the playoffs, and (2) monkeys will fly out of my butt.
5. Brooklyn Bombers 1 - 0 (2) -
Normally they say "a win is a win," but I'm not sure if that still applies when it's a victory over Moorehead.
6. Needmore Action 0 -1 (4) -
Willey's team needs a lot more than just Action. How about a QB that puts up more than 9 points?
7. Crotch Lake Crumbs 0 - 1 (5) -
This squad may want to change its name to the Crotch Lake Crabs. Was Fryxell wasted during the auction?
8. Earth Wind and Fire 0 - 1 (7) -
Chad Ochocinco should change his name to Chad Ochostinko. This team should consider making wholesale changes, starting with its owner.
9. Moorehead Please 0 -1 (10) +
This team only put up 68 points in Week 1 and yet somehow climbed up in the rankings? How is that even possible? Oh, that's right...
10. Pampalo Runners 0 - 1 (9) -

Week One Review
----------Breaking News Week One Fantasy Report-----------------
Washington DC--So much has changed since we all were in a room together in the party room overlooking the city of Minneapolis. Where to even begin? The "You Lie" comment, Michigan upsets N.D. (not that beating ND is a true upset over-rate once again), Kayne West steals Taylor Swifts virginity, Big B picked out his light blue tux and got a bright orange one for Boogie. Swanny has already begun to prepare for next years auction. B. Jones has run in 14 marathons. With all this changing in the world somethings still stay the same. CCD still has a terrible slice, Fryx still has his porn, B. Jones is still losing, Willey is still mad at Big B for his attacking emails, Kav still has his assless chaps, Saber still has a crush on Ande Williams and Tom Brady still has huge balls. I know I sat and watched the better part of 10 hours of football this weekend, it was great it was glorious I can't even wait for week 2...Below are the players of the week and a game by game analysis.
Players of the Week:
QB- Drew Brees 41 pts (Decimals)-Against the Lions you would expect more than 6, but you take what you can get. (Side Note Romo Decimals back up was No. 2 in QB points, Trade bait!!!)
RB- A.P. 37 pts (Whites)-Thank God the Vikes got Favre, no way A.P. would of made any of those huge runs unless the defense was so focused of Favre...
RB- Thomas Jones- 22 pts (MP) Never thought he would be up there, but if he can keep this up...Swanny could be a contender...Just kidding...
WR Reggie Wayne 22 pts (Action) Consistant as any reciever in the league. This guy is as consistant as Big B dating someone half his age.
WR Patrick Crayton 19 pts (EWF) The 2nd best reciever in the league and the No. 1 reciever that was on someone's bench...Ouch that kind of stings.
WR Randy Moss 14 pts (BRKLYN) Yeah I know he didn't have the most points, but he had 141 recieving yards...And they were double-teaming him all night long...I wanted to use the word double team...
TE Ben Watson 19 pts (FREE AGENT) Enough Said.
K Who give the "F" about the best kicker of the week.
Here is your Game by Game Analysis:
Runners (62) vs Whites (99)- Well this should be no surprise to anyone really. We all know the B. Jones is the guy you want to play every week, once again putting up the least number of points in the league. Let's not let B. Jones short cummings overshadow the way the Whites played during week one. Balanced attack with the Best Running back in the league will get you a victory every time. If AP stays healthy the White will be hard to beat.
Macon Love (94) vs Crumbs (75)--Basically this is the match-up I love to follow. I can just picture Fryx's face as he realize that the Love's TE has chalked up 21 pts. His face gets all red, he screams, he paces around the room not wanting to go to his porn stash that he promised to throw away, but it is the only thing that Fryx can find comfort in...It is his last resort, he goes in...And speaking of going in and out...Macon put up another balanced attack, I don't believe he will be putting up numbers like this all year. So everyone can just relax a little.
Moorhead (68) vs Bombers (86)--First off let me re-welcome Swanny to the League! Also, with the team that you put out on the field last weekend...You should also be very welcoming to the fact that the only team you might beat is the Runners! Your 3 recievers put up a whopping 13 pts. I am sure you could trade for some half way decent wideouts, but I don't think anyone would want any of your other guys either. As for the Bombers there only highlight was that Flacco put up 28 pts. 3rd best among QB's...You can expect Saber's team to put up around 60 pts from here on out!
CCD (92) vs EWF (71)--Well as much as I hate to rip on a fellow Commish. Boogie What happened? Is the only thing that I can think of asking. If it wasn't for D. Jackson punt return your WR crew would of put up less points than Swanny's...CCD as for your crew..Impressive..Brady came through in the end for you not that you really needed it, but we know it made you feel like he did it for you...
Decimals (90) vs Action (83)--My wife put it best...You better not lose when your QB puts up 41 pts...The upside is that he didn't have more than half of my teams pts...The downside is he almost had half of the Decimals pts (4 pts til half)...As for the Action they just need a punky QB and they will be contenders this year...Hopefully the other teams don't get lucky...
See you in week 2

Boogie's Pre-Season Rankings
1. Savannah Whites
Peyton, AP, and TO form the best three-headed monster in the league. Kav’s squad should be tough.
2. Brooklyn Bombers
Moss & Andre Johnson anchor the best WR corps in the league. If LT regains his 2007 form, Saber's team may be unbeatable.
3. Cripple Creek Chili-Covered Donuts
Brady, MJD, and Steve Smith are an intimidating 1-2-3 punch. Can Portis stay healthy?
4. Needmore Action
Fitzgerald and Wayne make Willey’s receiving corps a close second to Saber’s. But will Favre and Westbrook hold up for an entire season?
5. Crotch Lake Crumbs
A lot of potential, but a lot of risks. Will Warner repeat his 2008 season or retire midseason? Will Pierre Thomas become a household name, or Reggie Bush's backup?
6. Macon Love
Is Matt Ryan legit or not? Calvin Johnson is posed for a breakout year, but will Big B’s RBs(Jacobs & Johnson) breakout or breakdown?
7. Earth Wind and Fire
DeAngelo Williams will have to carry this squad, and Bolden and Ochocinco will have to stay out of trouble.
8. Dewey Decimals
TP could probably crack his own starting line-up as a WR. The decimals need Stephen Jackson to have a monster year.
9. Pampalo Runners
A team built around Frank Gore? That’s gory!
10. Moorehead Please
With starting running backs Bush & Barber, maybe Swanny should open up a pubic-hair grooming business? This squad will need some beginner’s luck.

Chad Ochokicko?
Quick question: since Chad Ochocinco is officially listed on the Bengals roster as their backup K -- and since he kicked the game-winning extra point and a kickoff in last night's game -- should his owner be able to start him as a kicker this year?
These are the types of things we need to decide before the auction.

A New Rule? - Proposed by the Macon Love
We here at the Commissioner's Office are always open to suggestions to improve the League. This morning we received the following proposal from Big B, the owner of the Macon Love. At first read, this proposed rule seems to make a lot of sense. We will be voting on this rule on Auction Night, but please feel free to post your initial thoughts in the "Comments" section below.
* * * * *
Commish Boogie and So-Called Commish Pawlicki (The season has not even started and the "video" that was supposed to be out two days ago is no where to be seen):
The Macon Love would like to propose the following rule to be voted on at the auction on Sunday August 23rd, 2009.
- 13 weeks of the season.
- Each week, each team will have a total of two outcomes.
- It could be 2-0, it could be 1-1, it could be 0-2.
- The first outcome will result in head-to-head play, as we have done since the start of the FFFL. - The second outcome will result in "upper half or lower half weekly finish". If you have one of top 5 weekly scores for the entire league, you get a win. If you have a bottom 5 point total for the entire league, you get a loss.
- I propose this for the following reasons: (1) It eliminates the scenario where the top two weekly scorers happen to play each other and the 2nd highest point-getter for the week walks away with nothing to show for it. Team B scores 107 points but happens to play the Macon Love who put up the usual 119 so Team B gets a loss. Meanwhile Pawlicki puts up a 53 but walks away with a win because he played B Jones who was starting Steve Young and Roger Craig and racked up a whopping 49 points. (2) It takes away the stacked division wildcard and truly rewards the top five teams for the week. It balances the playing field.
So in the end, we would each have a total of 26 outcomes. Macon Love could end up 22-4, while J Boogie could be 18-8, and Saber 1-25.
We would need to do the following:
1) Find a website that allows you to customize your league. I believe espn does allow you to do this.
2) Be willing to change, it may be the hardest part for all of us, but how awesome has the auction been and that was a change for us.
In short we....
- Still have head-to-head play
- Still have two divisions
- Simply add a 2nd outcome/result for each team based on a top 5 or bottom 5 score for the week
- Would have 26 results for each team before playoffs. Playoffs would be old-school, strictly based on head-to-head.
These are the thoughts of the two-time defending champion Macon Love. Think like a champion does.
Sincerely,
Big B
