Chud Fantasy Football IX/2011 - Page 6

Hey Shonn Greene, thanks for finally playing well after my team was eliminated from the playoffs.

On the other hand, thank YOU, MJD.  And thank you crumbling Tampa Bay defense.

I'm well on my way to a playoff win in the A League.  Up 30 FP with still Nicks and Cruz to play, and Gio just has Witten.  In my Dynasty League, it's nip and tuck with the other team, but I also have the Nicks/Cruz tandem to go there as well, and all his skill guys have either finished, or are playing right now.

My league I started 5-0 in?  Yep, I'm done.  Ugh.  That's my most disappointing outcome this week already.

Thanks.  It seems that my team comes together about once every 3-4 weeks.

Meaner Machine?  I'M COMIN' FOR YOU!

I won my Dynasty game--into the next round.  If it means anything, I'm averaging 10 FP per week more than my opponent.  But who knows.  And in the the league I didn't make the playoffs?  Yeah, I scored the 3rd highest in the league.  Argh.

I have Rodgers, Cruz, Nicks, Colston, MJD, Blount, and Gonzalez.  And I have like 24 FP right now.  Fuck me.  Rodgers has like 2 FP, Nicks can't catch a cold, and everyone just plain sucks.  Perhaps a 2nd half surge?  Or not.

You're beating me, friend.  When your kicker almost outscores 3 of your offensive starters COMBINED, that's not good.

Up by just over 2 FP in my money/dynasty league--he has Crabtree and a San Fran LB left, and I have Heath Miller and Ryan Clark.  Ugh.  Should have gone with gut and played Sproles over Helu--but Helu was the leading rusher in the NFC the last 3 weeks, so...  Benching Desean Jackson was a good idea, though.  Sproles would have gotten me another 10 FP.  So if I lose by less than 10 FP, I guess I screwed myself.  Either way, I'm done in this league after this year.  Winning the league to finish out would be nice.

WAAHHHHHH!!!!  I won my game by 6 FP!  I'm in the championship in my money league!  Which means I'm guaranteed $ regardless of the outcome--$70 for 2nd and $170 for first.  SWEET!  And this is my last year in the league, so that makes it even sweeter.  The guy I'm playing basically just has Rodgers and McCoy on offense and that's it (that's enough, actually), so I'm hoping for the best.

Only other league I'm still in is the B league, where I'm also facing Rodgers.  But in the 2 leagues I have Rodgers in, I'm done.  Bleah.

I'm just done.  Been in it for about 6-7 years, and between the ridiculous amount of time it takes for the draft, the fact that no one will talk trade unless you offer 3 first round picks for a WR3, and the incessant complaining by guys that have been in that league for like 10 years and still don't know the rules, I'm just finished with the league.  I'm in 5 leagues now that are every year, and I've decided to dump 2 of them after this season.  I'm still in another Ironman dynasty league that I just joined a couple of years ago, so I'm going to focus on that one now, especially since I was bad enough to get the #2 draft pick for 2012.

Man, I'm really having trouble getting into the Yahoo stuff.  I go to my team page, and everything but my roster shows up.  I had to switch it to the "classic" view.

Good luck to everyone still in the playoffs in some form or fashion.  And Merry Christmas/Happy Chanukah/etc. to all!

Tom Brady, you are quietly killing me.  Knock it off.  That is all.

Thanks, Tom.

I'm up by 23 FP after today in my $ league.  However, he still has Rodgers tomorrow night, but he's done after that game.  We still both have 5 players left, but 2 of mine play Monday night (Sproles and a LB for Atlanta).

Well, I ended up finishing 2nd in my $ league.  I had the chance, had I played a few different guys here and there.  But 70 bucks is better than no bucks.  Rodgers just killed me--and he played that damn TE from Tennessee who ended up having like 168 yards receiving and a couple of TDs, plus he had Finley and James Jones.

Congrats to the Meaner Machine...I end up 3rd in the A League, and ironically am playing for 3rd in the B league now, with my decimated team.  My A league team was up and down all season, and continued that through the playoffs.

Well, my keepers for next year in the A league will be easy--Rodgers, Nicks, MJD, and Julio Jones as my rookie.

I am getting lambasted in the B league because I forgot to check the updates pre-game today and played two guys that are out.  Oh well.

Oh well--had I played two different players that actually played instead of two guys that didn't, I might have managed 3rd in the B-league too.  Ironic that I went into the playoffs as the 2 seed in the B league and barely made it in the A league, but finished higher in the A league.

Finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th in three leagues, but still was able to win at least one playoff game in 5 out of 7 leagues (didn't make the playoffs in 1 league).

That's the only league I do that in.  If I may throw my 2 cents in...for the B league I would propose that we maybe pull back on the the number of positions we start and also see if we can pull the season back to that next to last week.  Maybe a standard 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1K/1D with one flex WR/RB/TE position thrown in there.  Or remove one of the WR slots and make it a flex position.
