Mission Impossible: Macon Four-Peats

Sigh...I'm beginning to sound like a broken record: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

After a dominant, 50+ point victory in the Super Bowl, Big B and the Macon Love once again find themselves in the Winner's Circle. In case you've been under a rock, I should point out the fact that this is B's fourth consecutive championship.

Last year I stated that I didn't think anyone would ever three-peat. This year I'll go a step further and say that four-peating seems about ten times more improbable than three-peating. There's really nothing else to say. It's truly unbelievable...and depressing to the rest of us.

Please send me checks to cover your tabs below. Happy New Year, dudes.

Big B - $639 Super Bowl + $200 2nd place finish + $20 weekly highs + $10 Top RB - $81 Pickups = Won $788
Swanny - $345 1st place finish + $20 weekly highs - $25 Pickups = Won $340
Jason - $100 3rd place finish + $20 weekly highs + $10 Top QB - $31 Pickups = Won $99
Saber - $10 weekly high - $18 Pickups = Owes $8
CCD - $20 weekly highs - $28 Pickups = Owes $8
Fryxell - $10 weekly high - $24 Pickups = Owes $14
Willey - $10 Top K - $39 Pickups = Owes $29
Kav - $10 weekly high - $50 Pickups = Owes $40
Boogie - $10 weekly high + $10 top WR - $74 pickups = Owes $54
TP - $10 weekly high + $10 top TE - $94 pickups = Owes $74

Straight Cash, Homey

FYI...there were $464 worth of pick-ups this year! That means the Super Bowl pot is $639 ($175 + $464).

For everyone other than B and Kav, your tabs are listed below. (B and Kav, your totals below are up-to-date going into the Super Bowl.) Everyone who owes money, please send me your checks ASAP!

Swanny - $345 1st place finish + $20 weekly highs - $25 Pickups = Won $340

Big B - $200 2nd place finish + $20 weekly highs + $10 Top RB - $81 Pickups = Won $149 + Any Super Bowl Winnings

Jason - $100 3rd place finish + $20 weekly highs + $10 Top QB - $31 Pickups = Won $99

Saber - $10 weekly high - $18 Pickups = Owes $8

CCD - $20 weekly highs - $28 Pickups = Owes $8

Fryxell - $10 weekly high - $24 Pickups = Owes $14

Willey - $10 Top K - $39 Pickups = Owes $29

Kav - $10 weekly high - $50 Pickups = Won Any Super Bowl Winnings - $40

Boogie - $10 weekly high + $10 top WR - $74 pickups = Owes $54

TP - $10 weekly high + $10 top TE - $94 pickups = Owes $74

My address is:
433 S. 7th St. - Unit #2128
Minneapolis, MN 55415

And Then There Were Two...

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Once again, the FFFL Championship will be won by either Kav or Big B. While their teams struggled at times during the season, they have peaked at the right time. And both owners deserve a lot of credit for selecting, trading for, and picking up the players that they did throughout the year.

If Big B wins again, he will four-peat - and we may have to just shut the League down.

If Kav wins, he will once again get to add his name to an FFFL Winner's Jacket.

May the best team win!

Final Four

Good luck to the remaining four squads battling for the FFFL Championship.

On one side of the bracket, Moorhead will be taking on Kona. Swanny is attempting to make his first Super Bowl ever, while Kav is trying to pull off the upset by knocking out the #1 seed. Given the fact that Vernon Davis put up a goose egg for Swanny last night, the Sea Urchins have some momentum heading into Sunday.

On the other side, Macon and Dewey will be squaring off. Big B and TP will finally have a chance to put to rest who is the more accomplished Nicollet Junior High alumnus. Rivers put up 25 points yesterday, so the Decimals will need an equally strong performance from P-Man this weekend.

May the best teams win.

Playoffs?!?! Yep, Playoffs!!!

After a brutal start to his season, Swanny somehow won six straight and found himself on the top of the heap. If he doesn't accomplish anything in the rest of his life, he'll always be able to say that he was a FFFL Regular Season champion. He also secured the #1 seed heading into the playoffs.

Also defying his early-season problems, Big B pulled another rabbit out of his hat and won his division. What once seemed impossible is now surprisingly plausible: the Macon Love are only two victories away from a fourth consecutive championship.

The division winners are seeds #1 (Swanny) and #2 (Big B). Based on total points (since they had the same record), Jason got the #3 seed and Kav is #4.

The final two remaining spots were based on the next highest total points (regardless of record). Willey had 1171 points, so he is the #5 seed. TP had 1122 points, so he is the #6 seed. (For the record, I hate Wes Welker.)

So on one side of the bracket it will be #4 (Kav) vs. #5 (Willey), with the winner playing the #1 seed (Swanny).

The other side of the bracket will be #3 (Jason) vs. #6 (TP), with the winner playing the #2 seed(Big B).

May the best team win (as long as it's not Macon again)! My money is on Jason. Not because I think his team is peaking at the right moment, but because he has season tickets for Gophers basketball and I'm trying to suck up to him.

Week 13 Preview

This is the final week of the regular season. In case any of you have been living under a rock, there's a lot that could happen in terms of who wins the regular season championship and who makes the playoffs. To illustrate this point, consider the following:

- If TP wins, he will win his division and possibly win the regular season championship
- If TP loses, there is a good chance that he won't even make the playoffs

Think about that. It's absolutely nuts.

Swanny is the only person who really controls his own destiny. If his squad wins this week, he will have finished on a six game winning streak and he'll win the regular season championship. Everyone else is in part at the mercy of how the other teams perform.

Here are the matchups:

Macon vs. Dewey
How will TP's team perform in the biggest game of his fantasy football career? Will Big B somehow work his magic again and secure another championship?

Moorhead vs. Earth
Can J Boogie prevent Swanny from winning the championship? Will AP be able to play?

Graball vs. Crotch Crescent
Jason and Willey are #1 and #3 respectively in total points. Both seem to be locks for the playoffs.

Kona vs. Brooklyn
Will Kav lock up the second seed in the Pirates division (if Boogie loses) and/or score enough points to vault into the playoffs? Will Saber be able to play the role of spoiler?

Crotch Lake vs. Cripple Creek
Could either team score 200 points and make the playoffs based on total points.

It's been a wild season, and it looks like it'll be an even wilder finale. May the best teams win.

P.S. Does anyone else want to be Commissioner next year?

Week 11 Recap & Rankings

I've been at work since 7:00am, so this is going to be short:

Week 11 Results
Graball 148 - Brooklyn 78
Macon 108- Earth 71
Kona 107 - Crotch Lake 101
Dewey 95 - Crotch Crescent 94
Moorhead 89 - Cripple Creek 86

Rather than break down every game, I just want to focus all of the attention on Graball's performance. While I'm not positive, I'm inclined to think that 148 is the highest one-week point total in FFFL history. That is just amazing. I MEAN...Jason's squad scored 70 more points than Saber's squad. And Saber's squad would have beat mine. That's just outrageous.

Here are my new rankings:

1. Dewey Decimals
2. Macon Love
3. Moorhead Please
4. Graball My Balls
5. Kona Sea Urchins
6. Crotch Crescent Chupacabra
7. Earth Wind and Fire
8. Crotch Lake Crumbs
9. Cripple Creek CCDs
10. Brooklyn Bombers

Happy Thanksgiving!

Scores Updated!

Since our League is pretty much insanity this year...I've updated all the scores so everything should be up to date going into the final two weeks...Jason if you lose this week...I'll make sure to make all the paperwork for next year to go smoothly!!! Don't Tempt the Co-Commissioner!!!

Dewey to the Championship and the playoffs in the final week of the season...Big B paid $27 for Welker...Big
B where is the loyalty!

Week 10 Recap

OK, this is getting downright ridiculous. Each week I say that things could not possibly get any tighter…and then that’s exactly what happens the following week.

In week 10, the teams with the two best records (TP & J Boogie) lost. (Note: since my squad had the 3rd most points of anyone this week, I think I’m going to propose next year that we do away with head-to-head match-ups altogether.)

Also, guess who won again this past week? The Macon Love, that’s who. I’m still not sure how it happened, but suddenly Big B’s boys have the most points in the entire league and are a ½ game out of first place. Say what?!?! This can’t possibly be happening again, can it?!?!

There are now only 3 weeks remaining. If the playoffs ended today, here is who would make it:

- TP
- Big B
- Swanny
- J Boogie
- Jason
- Willey

That means 4 out of the 6 playoff teams would be from the Ninjas division!

Here are the official results from Week 10:

Kona 127 – Cripple Creek 99
Mike Vick had 52 points! No, that is not a typo.

Crotch Lake 117 – Earth 109
This one was over on Thursday night.

Macon 107 – Graball 77
David Garrard’s last completion should remind us all that Big B may still have a lucky horseshoe nearby.

Crotch Crescent 97 – Brooklyn 80
Saber got a combined 4 points from his 3 WRs. No, that is not a typo.

Moorhead 80 – Dewey 68
What happened to TP’s squad? How are they still in 1st place overall?

And here are the match-ups for Week 11

Earth @ Macon
Moorhead @ Cripple Creek
Crotch Crescent @ Dewey
Brooklyn @ Graball
Crotch Lake @ Kona

Hold on to your seats, gentlemen! This is going to be one wild ride.

Week 9 Recap

Just when I think that things couldn’t possibly get any tighter, that’s precisely what happens.

Teams ranked #2 - #10 are now all separated by ONE victory. Think about that. ONE victory. The team with the second most victories has 5. The team with the fewest has 4. That is nothing short of astounding!

For this week’s newsletter, I’m going to revert back to our Glory Days with the always-popular Players of the Week/Weak feature. Enjoy.

Players of the Week

QB – Philip Rivers (30 points)
Upon hearing that B was shopping him as trade bait, Rivers responded with a powerhouse performance and a quote from Ivan Drago: “I win for me. FOR ME!”

RB – Peyton Hillis (33 points)
Who is this guy, you ask? The answer is straightforward: Saber’s best player.

RB – Arian Foster (31 points)
In related news, B left me the following voicemail on Sunday night: “Boogie, do you think Arian would be a good name for a baby girl?”

WR – Terrell Owens (26 points)
Boogie had a comfortable 26-point lead over CCD going into Monday night, which explains why all day Tuesday Boogie refuse to include the letters “T” and “O” in any of his communications.

WR – Seyi Ajirotutu (23 points)
Who?!?! If ‘tutu puts up 23 points again, I’ll wear a tutu to my wedding.

WR – James Jones (18 points)
This guy epitomizes TP’s squad this year. Because at the end of the day, nobody really thinks he’s going to keep putting up these type of numbers, do they?

TE – Jacob Tamme (16 points)
If someone asked me if “Jacob Tamme” was an NFL player or a coworker of mine who I hadn’t met yet, I’d probably guess the latter.

K – Sebastian Janikowski (11 points)
Did anyone else miss the fact that David Wells changed his name and is now a placekicker for the Raiders?

Players of the Weak

QB – Matt Schaub (13 points)
Did anyone else miss the fact that Mark Warder changed his name and is now a quarterback for the Texans?

RB – Ricky Williams (0 points)
Why did the chicken cross the road? To show Ricky Williams what it was like to gain 10 yards.

RB – BenJarvus Green-Ellis (1 point)
If I was confused as to whether my first name was actually Ben or Jarvus, I’d probably be a bit distracted, too.

WR – Austin Collie (1 point)
Somewhere, Wayne Chrebet and Tom Waddle are shaking their heads in disappointment.

WR – Darrius Heyward-Bey (1 point)
Did anyone else miss the fact that Craig “Ironhead” Heyward changed his first name and is now a wide receiver for the Raiders?

WR – Miles Austin (1 point)
Knock knock. Who’s there? Miles Austin. Miles Austin who? Good point.

TE – Todd Heap (2 points)
Heap certainly played like a heap all right. A heap of you know what.

K – Stephen Gostkowski (1 point)
Kav has always had a thing for girls with nice legs; apparently he also has a thing for guys with bad legs.

Boogie's Week 9 Rankings

Heading into Week 9, here are my updated rankings:

1. Dewey Decimals (5 - 3 - 0)
Usually three players aren't good enough to take you all the way, but Peyton, Gates, and Gore could carry TP to the promised land.

2. Earth Wind and Fire (5 - 3 - 0)
Usually two players aren't good enough to take you all the way, but AP and Orton could carry J Boogie to the promised land.

3. Kona Sea Urchins (4 - 4 - 0)
I am still waiting for Kav to pick up Favre. He seems like he would fit well with Big Ben and Vick as "Kona's QBs with Baggage."

4. Crotch Crescent Chupacabra (4 - 4 - 0)
Last week's 97 - 95 victory over Kav was huge. Can Willey keep his momentum going this weekend against Swanny's high-powered squad.

5. Moorhead Please (3 - 4 - 1)
His squad needs to learn how to play some defense. Scoring a lot of points doesn't matter if you can't get a victory. Maybe he should try to make a trade to improve his team?

6. Graball My Balls (3 - 5 - 0)
Same as above.

7. Crotch Lake Crumbs (4 - 4 - 0)
Fryx is on a two-game winning streak. Can he keep it up?

8. Brooklyn Bombers (4 - 4 - 0)
Good news, bad news regarding Randy Moss. The Titans desperately need a deep threat, but the Titans have their bye this week.

9. Cripple Creek CCDs (4 - 4 - 0)
The CCDs pulled out a much-needed win last week. Bribes have been offered to try to convince Boogie to rest AP this week. The league will be looking into this matter.

10. Macon Love (3 - 4 - 1)
A win last week would have been huge. Can the Love rebound and make a run at a four-peat, or is it time for B to put his deposit down on the 2011 Draft Dominator?

Thursday, November 4, 2010

Thoughts from the First 8 Weeks

After 8 weeks, only 2 games separate the first place team and the last place team.


SAY WHAT?!?!


After 8 weeks, only 2 games separate the first place team and the last place team!


YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS?!?!


I am. Dewey is in first place at 5 - 3, while Graball is in last place at 3 - 5!


I thought I had seen it all, but this season has been about as weird as it gets. There are a lot of different stats I could cite, but this is probably the most dramatic one:


- THE TEAMS IN LAST PLACE OF BOTH DIVISIONS HAVE THE MOST TOTAL POINTS!


Think about that. Swanny and Jason have the most total points in the League, at yet they both somehow find themselves at the bottom of their respective divisions. Crazy. When the playoffs are set, they both might be sending Big B some flowers for his proposed rule. If the playoffs ended today, the following owners would be in:

- TP
- Willey
- J Boogie
- Kav
- Swanny
- Jason

So Saber, CCD, and Fryx would NOT make the playoffs as of today, and yet if they win next week they could be in sole possession of first place. THINK ABOUT THAT! This is nuts.

The next five weeks will be WILD. May the best teams win.

Pick Ups for the week!

SWANNY
Drop Correll Buckhalter Pick UP Ricky Williams Dolphins $3
DROP Vincent Jackson Pick UP Greg Olson Bears $2

BIG B
Dan Carpenter K (3) - drop Ryan S K
Jacob Tanme TE (3) - drop Tony M TE.

KAV
Kona would like to pick up Jacob Tamme for $4 and would drop M. Lewis

Week 7

Week 7 brought many to there knees to pray to the fantasy football God’s to help them win this week…Some prayers were answered while others left in the whims of the sky! Are you kidding me, 7 out of 10 teams scored over 90 points and even more suprising one of the teams was Fryx’s team.

Kenny Britt, Darren McFadden and Roddy White welcome to Week 7! Week 7 brought out some of the most unlikely heroes, but it also brought out many close games coming down late into Monday night. The Whisper around the league that I never thought I would hear was, “I hope I’m not playing Fryx’s team next week”! What!?!? Did you say the Crotch Lake Crumbs? Yes I did! The Crotch Lake got its itch on and put up some huge numbers along with the Graballs and Brooklyn, but they had to sweat it out a little on Monday night too! Here is the week recap…Grab on to your seats (Saber you can grab your lotion)

Crotch Lake Crumbs 136 pts (3-4) vs Crotch Crescent Chupababra
There were two battles going on in the match up the Fantasy Football Crotches and the size of the Crotches…I think you know what I am going to say next…Yep Fryx won both! He team puts up some pretty solid numbers all around 24,17,14,34,17,21,1,8=A huge Crotch bulge. If he can do that every week just think how good his team would be..Don’t ever count Fryx out of any Fantasy League or Crotch Bulge Contest. Even the draft dominator couldn’t predict Romo breaking his shoulder and the Cowboys being 1-5. I don’t want to be the one to say it…but Willey will be looking to trade for a QB cause the dominator never told him to pick up a back-up.

Bombers 121 (4-3) vs Moorehead (115) 2-4-1
Just when you think Saber shouldn’t be a 3-3 team he go and does something like this and completely solidifies why he shouldn’t be a 4-3 team…If it wasn’t for McFadden and his 43 pts, Saber team might not even have beaten Big B’s team…I know we say this about Sabers team every year, but this team is by far the most over-rated 4-3 team to set foot in the FFFL in the leagues history. Swanny’s team should be 4-3 , but sometimes luck isn’t on your side..(or Skill as Big B calls it). Swanny’s balanced attack wasn’t enough for the Bombers, but I know he made Saber sweat or head to Sheik’s to relax during the game last night. In my opinion Saber got lucky and his team is garbage..

Graball 120 pts (3-4) vs EWF 100 (4-3)
Its tough to see a team score a 100 pts and lose espically since they had two guys going on Monday night, but with the fall of Romo it pretty much ended EWF chances of capturing the victory. As we move forward we will see what happens to Miles Austin without Romo. This is a time for real soul searching in the EWF front office. As for Graball, its about damn time he gets some luck on his side…One of the highest scoring teams In the league and before this week only had two wins…He is on track and ready to take on anyone..Well that is if Kenny Britt keeps scoring 40 pts a game, he’ll be fine! Nice work Graball!

Macon Love 66 pts (3-3-1) vs Kona 58 pts (4-3)
Ok so this was a battle of two teams who don’t even deserve to be in this newsletter…You want to talk about bad 4-3 teams or even worse 3-3-1 teams..Look no further. If you combined both of these teams scores you still wouldn’t have beaten Fryx’s team this week. Roy Williams scores two touchdowns last week and this week gets zero points. I don’t really know what to say about these teams!

Dewey Decimals 94 pts (5-2) vs CCD 60 pts (3-4)
This game was a game where both coaches wanted Cutler to do well, but that didn’t happen and so benefitting from having two men on buy and a injured star receiver the Decimals hung on to victory and moved atop of the league…Thanks CCD…This week you can pick up Mike Wallace!

with Love Co-Commish TP

Boogie's Week 7 Rankings

Heading into Week 7, here are my updated rankings:

1. Dewey Decimals (4 - 2 - 0)
TP is on a two-game losing streak. Will this be his final week atop the rankings?

2. Kona Sea Urchins (4 - 2 - 0)
Ray Ray and CJ make up the best backfield in the League, and we all know that backfields winning championships.

3. Earth Wind and Fire (4 - 2 - 0)
Here's a sentence you never thought you'd read: J Boogie is hoping that Felix Jones can carry his squad to the Promised Land.

4. Crotch Crescent Chupacabra (2 - 3 - 0)
Willey and his Draft Dominator have the following message: We cominnnnnnn'! We cominnnnnnnn'!

5. Moorhead Please (2 - 3 - 1)
Swanny is seventh in the standings based solely on record, but first based on total points.

6. Graball My Balls (2 - 4 - 0)
Jason's squad has the second most total points, and yet he's tied for the fewest wins in the League. If only he had voted for Big B's proposed rule...

7. Cripple Creek CCDs (3 - 3 - 0)
Clearly, fatherhood comes at a cost. Has CCD finally figured out how to balance his duties as a dad and as an owner?

8. Brooklyn Bombers (3 - 3 - 0)
The Bombers have put up the second fewest total points, and yet they're only one game back from being in first place.

9. Macon Love (2 - 3 - 1)
Week 5 was a must-win for the defending champs. Was it enough to right the Love Boat for the rest of the season?

10. Crotch Lake Crumbs (2 - 4 - 0)
Hey, at least his Badgers knocked off the Buckeyes. If only Fryx could play his fantasy games inside of Camp Randall.

Thursday, October 21, 2010

Pick ups for this week...I am being serious!

CCD gets Danny Woodhead (That can't be his real name..CCD..you rascal you) $4 drops Favre

Kav gets a pair of worn thongs from that stripper that Saber loves I think her name is Mercdes Lewis $2 drops Cooley

Boogie gets Mike Wallace for $5 drops Rice

Week 5 Recap

Once again, it looks like "parity" is the name of the game in the FFFL. 8 of the 10 teams have either 2 or 3 wins, which means that pretty much everyone is only a win or loss away from being in or out of the playoffs.

Moorhead 123 - Earth 61
In the biggest bloodbath of the year, Swanny's squad more than doubled Boogie's total points. Also, Swanny's team now has the most total points of any team in the League.

Kona 98 - Graball 85
So that's why Kav drafted both Ray Rice and Chris Johnson! The two RBs combined for 52 points.

Crotch Lake 94 - Cripple Creek 79
Fryxell has now won two in a row. CCD is still starting Beanie Wells.

Crotch Crescent 87 - Macon 66
Our three-time defending champion is now in sole possession of last place. Big B may need to bring in Butchy to give his team a pep talk.

Brooklyn 90 - Dewey 61
In the biggest upset of the week, Saber's squad destroyed TP's previously undefeated team. Leading up to the game, a cocky TP had been referring to Brooklyn as "Oakland," since both the Bombers and the Raiders have had a history of not putting up much of a fight.

After suffering his first loss, here is a secret video of TP that was captured by his mom.

Boogie's Week 5 Rankings

Heading into Week 5, here are my updated rankings

1. Dewey Decimals (4 - 0 - 0)
TP's squad has the most victories and the most total points. Enough said.

2. Earth Wind and Fire (3 - 1 - 0)
Last week's victory while my top 3 players were on bye reminds me that it's better to be lucky than good.

3. Graball My Balls (2 - 2 - 0)
2nd most total points in the League. Will Jason's backfield be able to overcome injuries and byes?

4. Kona Sea Urchins (2 - 2 - 0)
Kav's squad is either Feast or Famine. Week 4's 53 point performance definitely fell into the latter category.

5. Brooklyn Bombers (2 - 2 - 0)
How will the Moss trade impact Saber's squad? He starts both Brady and Moss.

6. Cripple Creek CCDs (2 - 2 - 0)
CCD's team is being carried by LT. I repeat: CCD's team is being carried by LT. (Yes, that LT.)

7. Moorhead Please (1 - 2 - 1)
Swanny easily has the best team with three Broncos RBs that the League has ever seen.

8. Macon Love (1 - 2 - 1)
It may be time for Big B to reconsider his strategy: only two players on his entire roster reached double digits last week.

9. Crotch Crescent Chupacabra (1 - 3 - 0)
Willey had the 3rd most points in Week 4, but it wasn't enough. This team is oh so close, and yet still so far away.

10. Crotch Lake Crumbs (1 - 3 - 0)
MJD showed some life in Week 4 to get Fryxell his first victory, and MJD will be facing the weak Bills defense in Week 5. Could this be the start of a winning streak for Crotch Lake?

Week 4 Recap

Week 4 Recap

I’ll start out this newletter with the Quote of the Week

“I'm being serious when I write this. I don't want you to think that I am joking.”

-B. Frye 2010

This is how everyone felt about Week 4. There is never any joking when it comes to Fantasy football. This week 4 will be remembered like the JFK assignation or 9/11 or when CCD first discovered BBQ chicken wings..excuse me boneless BBQ chicken wings or Fryx and his porn mags. Weeks like these are what made our league what it is today.

THE BATTLE OF WR BOWL

CCD (73) vs Bombers (60) Both these teams came in on a high…I have no idea why one is starting Chad Henne as his QB and the other well his highest scoring player was someone he picked up a few weeks ago. The great fact about this game is that if you combine the teams 5 WR pts you get a total of 3 pts…Two WR on Sabers team put up goose eggs…Has that ever happened before…And one of CCD bench WR outscore all of both teams receivers by 14 pts…One vs 6…Coaching change


THE BATTLE OF THE WORST
Crotch Lake (81) vs Moorehead Please (64)

Fryx gets his first win of the year, stand proud Fryx…I wouldn’t say your team is good, but I would say you have been unlucky…Oh wait nevermind luck doesn’t happen in fantasy football its skill…(Last years big debate with Big B). Swannys team needs something maybe a jumpstart or those deliberator pads or maybe they just need Moorhead…

THE BATTLE OF THE BULDGE

CCC (93) vs Graball my Balls (100)

By far the closest game of the Week, down 11 coming into Monday nights game Willey was sitting in his dark room stroking the draft dominator and praying the Green-Ellis would fall on his face…Well once again the dominatrix stepped all over Willey and his team…A good effort Willey, but Schmit just had you by the balls this week. Graball is by far the best 2-2 team in the league putting up consist numbers

THE BATTLE OF THE (COCK OR ENGAGEMENT) RINGS

EWF (69) vs Kona (53)

The only thing really cool that EWF can take away from this game is that they scored 69 pts…Maybe it was Boogie mathematically calculating so his score would come out to 69 to let the league know he was going to propose to Mindy…If that is the case and still being able to get out of this week with a win and have his best 3 players on bye weeks…Touche’ Mr. Gundenemsem…Touche’…As for the Sea Urchins…Braylon Edwards was his high scoers…enough said.

THE BATTLE OF JOHN KUHN BOWL

Macon Love (75) vs Dewey Decimals (101)

The picture speaks 1,000 words…No wonder why B was so upset! Cute Couple!

Thursday, September 30, 2010

Week 3 Recap

Word up. I got engaged on Sunday. Right now I'm currently celebrating at a swanky resort in Napa Valley, and yet I just left my fiance in our hotel room to come send out a quick recap to you fools. So don't ever question your Co-Commissioner's dedication!

Moorhead 117 - Cripple Creek 76
Is the Swanny squad from early last year about to make a reappearance? Or is every broken clock right twice a day?

Crotch Crescent 111 - Earth 99
Apparently Willey didn't get the message to go easy on the guy who was going to be on bended knee shortly after kickoff. It looks like the Draft Dominator is starting to pay off.

Kona 105 - Crotch Lake 90
Fryxell just can't get a break. Each week he's played someone who's reached double digits. Kav's team is starting to build some momentum.

Brooklyn 102 - Macon 76
Saber is inow n sole possession of 2nd place in the Ninjas division. And after 3 weeks, Big B only has 1 win. Is this the end of the dynasty?

Dewey 90 - Graball 69
Speaking of dynasties, is TP building one? He's now the lone undefeated team in the League, and seems to already be a lock for the playoffs.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to back up to my bride-to-be...

Thursday, September 23, 2010

Week 2 Pick-Ups

- Kona added Kevin Walter ($5) and dropped Reggie Bush
- Graball added BenJarvus Green-Ellis ($3) and dropped Javon Ringer
- Macon added Jason Snelling ($3) and dropped Donald Brown
- Macon added Demaryius Thomas ($3) and dropped Jacoby Jones

Boogie's Week 3 Rankings

Heading into Week 3, we've got a new team atop the rankings: TP's Dewey Decimals!

(For those of you who just fell out of your seats or are rubbing your eyes vigorously because you think you must have misread something, let me repeat that.)

Heading into Week 3, we've got a new team atop the rankings: TP's Dewey Decimals!

1. Dewey Decimals (2 - 0 - 0)
The "staff" at Sheik's has taken a strong interest in the success of TP's team, likely due to the fact that there's a good chance some of them will share in the winnings.

2. Macon Love (1 - 0 - 1)
The only team in the League with more than 200 total points. Just imagine how many points they'd have if Big B would actually start Jahvid Best.

3. Graball My Balls (1 - 1 - 0)
The most balanced team in the League. (Six of his starters are projected to score between 12 and 22 points this week.) As long as Jason doesn't have to go to his bench, the Balls will be tough to handle.

4. Earth Wind and Fire (2 - 0 - 0)
Whenever his QB puts up 35+ points like he did in Week 2, a victory for J Boogie is Schaub-omatic.

5. Kona Sea Urchins (1 - 1 - 0)
Will the real Chris Johnson please stand up? If CJ plays like he did in Week 1, Kav will likely win his division. If CJ plays like he did in Week 2, Kav will likely miss the playoffs.

6. Brooklyn Bombers (1 - 1 - 0)
Will Darren McFadden be Saber's savior? Or a starting RB on a team that is so bad Darren McFadden is in its starting line-up?

7. Cripple Creek CCDs (1 - 1 - 0)
How long will CCD wait for Favre to break out of his funk? Also, how long will CCD keep the practical joke up of owning Bernard Berrian on his "fantasy" team?

8. Moorhead Please (0 - 1 - 1)
Swanny is such a big fan of the new playoff rule, that he is apparently going to try not to win any games this year while still scoring enough points to qualify for the postseason. So far, so good. He has the 5th highest point total in the League, but he is one of only three teams without a victory.

9. Crotch Lake Crumbs (0 - 2 - 0)
Once again, the two Crotch franchises find themselves at the bottom of the rankings. Fryxell gets a sympathy vote for 9th place because his opponents have scored a total of 211 points (the next highest total is 184).

10. Crotch Crescent Chupacabra (0 - 2 - 0)
With injuries to Ryan Matthews and Michael Turner, Willey's squad needs to get healthy in a hurry. Otherwise...when does the 2011 Draft Dominator go on sale?

Friday, September 17, 2010

Week 2 Recap

I guess it pays to be a Commissioner. After two weeks, the only two owners who are 2 - 0 are TP and J Boogie. The rest of the League should probably investigate.

Earth 116 - Crotch Lake 67
Schaub, AP, and Austin combined for 74, which would have been enough to beat Fryxell's entire starting line-up by 7.

Graball 105 - Brooklyn 68
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if Jason's squad gets a strong performance out of its runningbacks, he will be very tough to beat. And for the record, yes, 30 points from LeSean McCoy is considered, "strong."

Dewey 103 - Crotch Crescent 68
Is TP's squad for real? If Frank Gore continues to put up 28 points per week, then the answer will be, "most definitely."

Macon 90 - Moorhead 90
It's a good thing we voted on ties at this year's auction, since Week 2 gave us our fist tie ever in the history of the FFFL. After his stalemate with Swanny, Big B had the following to say: "we can still go undefeated, so bite me."

Cripple Creek 86 - Kona 81
In the Battle of Johnson's, Andre grew to legendary status while Chris shrivelled up. No word on the results of the side-bet titled "Battle of Johnson's II" between CCD and Kav.

Random Video of the Week
To help everyone in the League get to know their fellow owners better, we're going to start publishing childhood videos from each owner in the League. This one was provided to us by CCD's family. You can tell that he's always been an entertainer.



Look for updated rankings later this week.

Thursday, September 16, 2010

Week 1 Pick-Ups

- Dewey added Brandon Jackson ($11) and dropped Chester Taylor
- Dewey added Mark Clayton ($4) and dropped Chris Chambers
- Dewey added Mike Williams, SEA ($3) and dropped Earl Bennett
- Brooklyn added Peyton Hillis ($4) and dropped Montario Hardesty
- Earth added Austin Collie ($5) and dropped Derrick Mason (bid submitted @ 12:23 on 9.14.10)
- Earth added Carson Palmer ($6) and dropped Fred Jackson

Boogie's Week 2 Rankings

The results from Week 1 really shook up both the USA Today and AP rankings. In fact, this was the first time ever where a team jumped from #10 to #1 in one week.

1. Macon Love (1 - 0)
It's hard to argue against 115 points. In related news, there's a good chance that if Big B and Ellena have a baby boy, his name is going to be Arian Jamaal Frye.

2. Dewey Decimals (1 - 0)
TP whined about being "stuck with" Ochocinco on the night of the auction, but after the Artist Formerly Known as Chad Johnson put up 21 points in Week 1, he's singing a different tune. Specifically, he's been singing "Living La Ochocinco" to the tune of "Living La Vida Loca."

3. Kona Sea Urchins (1 - 0)
Chris Johnson. Enough said.

4. Brooklyn Bombers (1 - 0)
Talk about a scare! No, Saber's game wasn't that close. But if Tom Brady would have been seriously injured in that car accident, I'm not sure Saber would have ever been able to recover emotionally.

5. Graball My Balls (0 - 1)
Not bad for the new guy. His 92 points were the third highest in the league. Will he be able to keep it up all season long, or was this a classic example of Beginner's Luck?

6. Earth Wind and Fire (1 - 0)
Like my personal mentor, Al Davis, once told me: just win, baby!

7. Moorhead Please (0 - 1)
If memory serves me correctly, I think Swanny has now lost six consecutive regular season games. Will he ever win another game?

8. Crotch Crescent Chupacabra (0 - 1)
His team still looks really good on paper. But then again, so did that one girl on match.com that Saber went out with - and I think her real name ended up being Mitch.

9. Crotch Lake Crumbs (0 - 1)
The critics agree: Fryxell's Crotch is slightly worse than Willey's crotch.

10. Cripple Creek CCD (0 - 1)
With Ryan Grant out for the year, CCD is going to need to work some magic. Hopefully he can get in touch with the Amazing Hondo.

Week 1 Recap

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Remember all of that talk about how the Ninjas division was far inferior to the Pirates division? Well in Week 1, the top four scoring teams were all in the Ninjas division: Macon, Dewey, Graball, and Brooklyn. Will this be a trend or a mirage?

Macon 116 - Graball 92
The more things change, the more they stay the same. As painful as it is to write, Big B's squad did remind the entire League that the road to the championship still goes through Macon. Jason's 92 point losing effort was actually the third highest point total of the week. I guess he should have voted for Big B's proposed rule!

Dewey 95 - Crotch Lake 54
Many people thought this game would be a blowout...but with the opposite results. TP's squad dominated Fryxell's by 40+ points. It's safe to say that Dewey will be moving way up in the rankings, while Crotch Lake will be heading in the opposite direction.

Brooklyn 78 - Crotch Crescent 59
Saber's boyz put up the 4th most points this week, while the pre-season #2 ranked Chupacabras couldn't break the 60-point mark. In related news, Willey was spotted at Best Buy this morning trying to get a refund for his Draft Dominator software.

Kona 77 - Moorhead 75
In the only game that wasn't decided by double-digits, Kav snuck by Swanny in a nailbiter. In what will likely go down as the worst example of overcoaching this year, Swanny changed his line-up 5 minutes before kickoff and inserted Percy Harvin (1 pt) instead of Hakeem Nicks (25 pts). And speaking of overcoaching, if Kav had started Matt Forte (32 pts) instead of Ray Rice (5 pts), he would have put up 114 points in Week 1.

Earth 72 - Cripple Creek 60
In the ugliest game of the week, Boogie's squad sucked less than CCD's squad. Given Notre Dame's performance against Michigan on Saturday -- and given that Ryan Grant is expected to be on crutches for the next 3 months -- it's understandable why CCD has reportedly been holed up in his bedroom all day today, crying softly while clutching a body pillow and listening to Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Survive" on repeat.

Somewhat Related Video of the Week
As someone who decided not to increase my bid for Arian Foster, I felt a bit like the woman in the clip below when I woke up and saw that he had put up 41 points. Enjoy.

P.S. Updated rankings will come out later this week (after I've had a chance to break down all of the film).

Draft vs. Auction

Last night I had a traditional "snake" draft. Two things jumped out at me: (1) auctions are way funner, and (2) it's easier to get a better team via a traditional snake draft - especially if you get the first pick overall (which I did).

In case any of you are interested, I've posted the team I drafted below. The picks are listed in the order that I selected them, and I've also included how much they cost at our auction. IF I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO SELECT THIS SAME TEAM DURING OUR AUCTION, I WOULD HAVE NEEDED $280 INSTEAD OF $200! The rules were the same: 10 teams in the league; 13 players on each team. (And, yes, there are a lot of really smart owners in this league.)

Round 1. Chris Johnson ($73)
Round 2. Miles Austin ($36)
Round 3. Tony Romo ($20)
Round 4. Arian Foster ($33)
Round 5. LeSean McCoy ($30)
Round 6. Wes Welker ($27)
Round 7. DeWayne Bowe ($22)
Round 8. Mike Wallace ($15)
Round 9. Joe Flacco ($11)
Round 10. Malcolm Floyd ($10)
Round 11. Owen Daniels ($1)
Round 12. Fred Jackson ($1)
Round 13. Rob Bironas ($1)

New Team Name

* * * BREAKING NEWS * * *

The newest franchise in the FFFL - owned by Jason - is named...wait for it...Graball My Balls.

When asked to explain his squad's name, Jason issued the following response: "Graball is a town located in Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee. Our franchise is too talented to be contained in one state, so we wanted to select a name that would allow us to play home games in three different states."

New Rules

For the record, here are the new rules that were voted in:

- During the regular season, we will now have ties.

- 6 teams will make the playoffs. The two teams with the best records in each division will advance, as will the next two teams with the highest point totals (regardless of record or division).

- In the playoffs, the tiebreaker will be the highest point total of any player in your starting line-up. The second tiebreaker will be the second highest point total of any player in your starting line-up. The third tiebreaker will be the third highest point total of any player in your starting line-up, etc.

- Going forward, the champion each year will be required to buy a jacket and present it to the following year's champion.

Boogie's Preseason Rankings

You know what's the great thing about the preseason? Everyone is undefeated. But since I know some of you need bulletin board material to motivate your squads, here are my preseason rankings:

1. Kona Sea Urchins (Kav)
If Kav's three-headed monster (Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, and Larry Fitzgerald) stays healthy, the rest of us will likely be fighting for second place.

2. Needmore Action (Willey)
The Draft Dominator helped Willey do just that. Romo, Turner, Matthews, Cal. Johnson, Boldin, Maclin, Celek, and Akers should be the strongest starting line-up in Week 1.

3. Crotch Lake Crumbs (Fryxell)
A proven backfield (MJD & S. Jackson) with an up-and-coming supporting cast (Flacco, CJ Spiller, Roddy White, Colston, M. Floyd).

4. Cripple Creek Chili-Covered Donuts (Casterton)
Locked up the best starting WRs in the League (A. Johnson, D. Jackson, S. Smith). If Favre duplicates last year's performance and Ryan Grant and Beanie Wells stay healthy, CCD will be a lock to make the playoffs.

5. Brooklyn Bombers (Saber)
The Brady to Moss combo could be lethal. If two of Saber's RBs (Benson, Williams, Stewart, McFadden) put up decent numbers, the Bombers should be in the mix.

6. Moorehead Please (Swanny)
Swanny has three studs (Brees, Mendenhall, & B. Marshall) and then a bunch of question marks. Guys like Moreno, Harrison, Harvin, and Davis could all boom or bust.


7. Earth Wind and Fire (J Boogie)
If AP holds on to the ball and one of Boogie's other RBs pans out, Earth could cause some damage with Schaub, Austin, Bowe, and Shiancoe.

8. Graball My Balls (Jason)
First-time auction participant desperately needs 2 RBs to have breakout seasons. Rodgers, Wayne, and Jennings should put up big numbers, but McCoy and Thomas appear to be the weakest starting RBs in the league.


9. Dewey Decimals (TP)
Things started off bad with the selection of Ochocinco. Manning should be solid, but staking your squad's success on the backs of Gore and Greene seems risky.

10. Macon Love (Big B)
If half of Big B's young guns play like Ray Rice last year, Macon will once again contend for the title. But that's a BIG "if." Until guys like Foster, Charles, Best, Crabtree, Wallace, and Lou Nanne prove themselves in the regular season, the Love will not move up in the rankings based solely on their status as 3-Time Defending Champions.

Rosters Loaded!

The rosters have been loaded...So go and double check that I got everyone that you drafted! I will put out a list of the co-commish ranking system a little later!!! TP

Franchise Relocation

* * * BREAKING NEWS * * *

Effective immediately, Kav is moving his franchise to Kona. His franchise will compete in the upcoming season as the Kona Sea Urchins. When asked to explain his decision, Kav issued the following response:

"Dude, have you seen the babes in Hawaii?"


In related news, it's also expected that Jason will be announcing his new team name later today. Stay tuned.

Message From Big B

Big B wanted to send the following message out to the entire league:

* * * * *

I have updated my signature - pretty simple actually. Just add another year.
Big B
Macon Love
FFFL Champions 2007 & 2008 & 2009

I also have two proposals to add to the one below that Boogie sent out:

1) Next season - 2011 - we have the auction in the Southern Burbs. I call this the "CCD we care" proposal. Think about it fellas. Once every three or four years it would be nice to have the auction in a location that would spare three of us an extra hour on a Sunday night. I get that for the majority of the people in the league it is closer to have it downtown - I get that. But for the past four years it has been at Boogies, Jones, Boogies, and now Saber. Enough is enough - bring it back south. I am proposing a year in advance to host the event at our place in Bloomington - if you don't like the drive then move closer to us (Willey, CCD, and I - the down south folks). Plus, I'm the champion and it would be wise for some of you to follow my advice - those aren't just words boys - those are actions as I am spending your money every year! If you don't like it then beat me... until then... come south.

2) Previous Champion keeps the jacket and buys the next Champions jacket that is shown at the auction BEFORE the season. Phil does not give his green jacket back, nor will I. I am wanting to keep the green jacket (well I kind of have with my domination the past three years) and am proposing to have a new jacket each year, purchased by the previous champion - imagine the winners dinner when we wear our jackets - (we should have a dinner paid for by the previous years winner - like the PGA Championship - did you hear about YE Yang's Korean dinner this past year - did not sound good).

Those are my ideas - I bid Sidney Rice for 5 dollars - some of you may think that it is a waste and it would for you since your season ends at week 13 but for us in Macon it is always 16 weeks long!

Big B

The Blog is Back Up

You all should have received two e-mails today. Those e-mails are just notifications that a blog post was made.

If you reply to those e-mails, your comments only come to me. If you want to reply to the entire League, post a comment under the post's Comment section.

As a reminder, our blog address is: http://fffl2009.blogspot.com/

Proposed Rule Change (Again)

Because I still think it makes sense, I'm re-posting Big B's proposed rule change that he submitted last year. We'll vote on this rule on Auction Night.

* * * * *

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
Macon Love
FFFL Champions 2007 & 2008
PS: I'm wearing the green jacket as I write this ... and nothing else.

Roster Rules

As you prepare for the auction, here are the rules to keep in mind:

- You have $200 to spend on the night of the auction
- You have to select 13 players - no more, no fewer
- The starting line-ups will be the same as last year:
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE

And Then There Was One

Only one owner hasn't paid up, and his nickname rhymes with E-T.

Please feel free to submit suggestions to the Commissioner's Office as to how we can penalize this delinquent owner.

A Special Thanks to Kav

I received Kav's pick-up money in the mail today. Enclosed with his check was a page from a Victoria Secret catalog that showed quite an impressive selection of thongs. This is worth noting since I opened up Kav's letter while riding on my elevator next to my sweet, 82 year-old neighbor. As luck would have it, I dropped the page of butt-shots -- and of course she was nice enough to pick it up for me, glance at the page, and hand it back to me with a concerned look on her face.

Thank you, Kav. You're too kind.
