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

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!

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.
