GTPlanet Fantasy Football League '08 - WEEK 14 It's Playoff Time!

[UnoMOTO]

Big ups to whoever put Ronnie Brown on his or her team.

That would be me and I actually got a few chuckles from this crowd because I picked him back when he had a thumb injury. I haven’t started him in a game yet, so I missed all those points last week. Right when he is coming back into form from last year he has a bye week. I’m actually kinda deep at RB so I wont be missing out on the bye. I'm really only lacking at TE so far this season.

In case you all haven't been paying attention...I'm 3-0 Baby

 

[thugbear2005]

If anyone needs a RB i'm willing to trade Jamal Lewis, just send me a pm.

A note on that. Earth PM'd me that he will likely be missing out a lot this season due to some stuff in his real life.

So, if you happen to be playing him and his team looks to be mailing it in that is why.

A thread title up date is in order...eh hem...

How about I do you one better?

WEEK 3 REVIEW
Yes, I know I missed Week 2. You and your full-time electricity can bite me.

The results:

The Happy Monks - 78.08
The Babies - 65.14
The cry babies had Marshawn Lynch going to town with over 23 points! But Ben Roethelisberger appearde to be playing for the other team. Despite that it was decent performance that any team could be proud of. But then the Commish steps up and professes he is tired of his losses and lets loose not one, but two masters of running. Addai and Johnson tore up the field, combining for just under 40 points.

The Wicky Radsters - 99.40
Team Infrared - 72.10
Pending the results of drug testing the Rad team appears to have swept this one up with no problem. Twenty points from a defense. Some one is on something. Has to be. Team IR's score would have been a battle in any other game this week.

Centurion Eagles - 78.76
Mighty Turduckens - 58.64
How ironic that the poultry threesome will lose to the Centurion Eagles, because his Eagles player did almost nothing. Frank Gore really ran up a score, but you can't win with only one man on your offense. The birds of prey had a couple of top-notch performances from Forte and Cutler to solidify their win.

Shovel Bums - 42.44
The Wildcats - 87.44

Something is being shoveled alright. Not a single win yet for the spaded poopers. Of course, no one expected New England to cause a loss of points. Looks like the manager from Detroit might want to ask Bellicheck if he can win without tapes Brady. Oh, and The Wildcats have LT. They win. No surprise there.

The Stiff-arms - 61.10
Mud Dogs - 91.94
The arthritic limbs had their entire receiving core taking naps apparently. I guyess those 14 moves (14!!!! - IT'S WEEK 3!) Fortunately, The-Man-Who-Would-Be-Favre and Clinton Portis kept him in the game. But, the dirty mutts only had one poor performer. The real question is, why are you playing anyone from the Rams?

Moving on:

The current standings now (we are going to need a smack talk silencer, he has been waiting for this for over a year now):

Yes, it is a screen shot of a chart in Word.

And next week's matchups:

The Happy Monks
Centurion Eagles

The Wicky Radsters
The Babies

Team Infrared
Mud Dogs

Shovel Bums
Mighty Turduckens

The Stiff-arms
The Wildcats

God my team fails. I think I'll have to do some reordering tonight.

 

[UnoMOTO]

Its karma…isn’t it…isn’t it?! It has come back to have the sun shine on me in all it’s glory!

Teehee

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Alas, it is true. I have made 14 moves. I fear that if I don't do some drastic personnel maneuvers I may fall too far behind everyone to catch up. Damn you, Braylon Edwards!

 

[Brett]

Its karma…isn’t it…isn’t it?! It has come back to have the sun shine on me in all it’s glory!

Teehee

Only because I am not in the league!

 

[Joey D]

Either I can't figure out how to use Yahoo Sports or it messed up on me. I made changes to my team last night since there was going to be a bunch of byes and for whatever reason it didn't save them. I think it might be the former. Another lame showing from me this week.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

After you move your players around do you click on the submit changes button?

 

[Joey D]

I thought I did, but it appears I didn't.

I always recheck my settings after I think I am finished. As I have two leagues I actually switch between leagues to make my changes and then come back to make sure they stayed.



This past weekend worked out well for me. I still have guys to play in both leagues yet I have already won.

Also, let me say this again, didn't someone make fun of me for drafting Brett Favre?

I took a gamble in the draft, and then all week I kept hearing about his ankle and how he was questionable. I said to myself, "This is Brett gorram Favre. He isn't going to miss for a sore ankle." It was another gamble, but one I felt safe with. And it paid off.

 

[Joey D]

Live and learn I suppose, this will teach me not to re-check things.

It was Arizona ok? Don't get too excited.

 

[FoolKiller]

It was Arizona ok? Don't get too excited.

I know. But my win/loss record is only .500, let me enjoy it.


I have noticed that QBs seems to have a couple more awesome years, then fizzle out for a couple and finally retire. Culpepper comes to mind.

I got lucky in my other league. We have two starting QBs and I had Bulger and a guy on Bye week as my second. Fortunately, my opponent also had his second QB riding the bench.

 

[UnoMOTO]

I have a good looking match up with TwinTurbos94(Centurion Eagles) this week. #1 Vs. #2

Bring it on you silly fine feathered friend.

 

[TwinTurbos94]

yeah, This is gonna be an awsome match...














CAW!

WEEK 4 REVIEW

The Happy Monks - 99.46
Centurion Eagles - 65.54
The beer making friars had average or below scores in all but two places. Larry Johnson ran his way to nearly 30 points, while Brett "This is the last game of my career, no really, I'm serious this time" Favre put up over 33 points in an amazing showing. Fortunately for this inebriated team they do not have to wonder if he is reliable enough to keep in the game as he is on bye this week. The mohawk wearing birds of prey had a good showing and even having a defense that played this week couldn't have stopped the Favre effect.

The Wicky Radsters - 77.50
The Babies - 65.74
Is that a human score we see from the totally rad!!!! gang? That is what happens when you bring out the bye weeks. The over-the-top teams lose a bit of steam. Of course, it is scary to still see a very respectable score when the kicker brings in the most points. Again, other team managers are calling for an investigation. In an odd twist of fate the infants also had their kicker bring in the most individual points. Had that team performed as they should have we would have seen the Radsters take their first loss.

Team Infrared - 112.30
Mud Dogs - 83.02
Looks like I have to take back my Steven Jackson coment from last week as he led the remote control signals team to victory. It is amazing what he can do when St. Louis holds it together for just a half. Amazingly, with a player on bye and Jeremy Shockey nursing a hernia the dirty mutts still managed to get a score better than the almighy Wicky team. Too bad for them that their opponents were scoring huge numbers.

Shovel Bums - 54.80
Might Turduckens - 71.76
If I ate a turducken I would probably need a shovel for my bum, but in this match up the mighty birds of many feathers tore the Shovel Bums a new, er, bum. However, it appears that a computer error has been the cause of this loss. With four guys on vacation it is easy to assume that this game could have easily gone the other way had the football gods not frowned upon the spades. Perhaps they offended the gods in some way or perhaps their cheerleaders wore too many clothes. Who knows?

The Stiff-arms - 77.88
The Wildcats - 80.70
This was a very close game, but that is purely because Carson Palmer spent most of the game off the field. The bobcats would have been much farther ahead if not for that. But they got lucky because they have LT and LT did what LT does, ring up points. The tired limbs were kept in this one by the oft-fired Kurt Warner. It is amazing how much quieter Leinart has been since coming to the NFL.

Here are the standings:

And in other news I have developed a theory. This is purely based on limited data, but I believe the days of the Madden Curse are dead. That said, I believe that the curse itself lives on, in Head Coach.

I guess poor football skills and Detroit go hand in hand.

On the upside though, the Lions have an annual football course for women so that they can watch football with their husbands and understand it. I wish my wife would attend something like that.

I hear next year they are making the players attend.




I know it was in 2006, but I couldn't resist the joke.

Watch out, the babies are back, despite my accidental starting of Matt Schaub when he was out this week (I work all day Sunday so I usually have to set my rosters up pretty early in the morning) Chris Cooley and the Bears defense played big games for me, and unless Jeff Reed scores -14 points for me, I'm on my way to a much needed second win.

 

[Joey D]

It's a decent show down between me and FoolKiller this week and it's going to come down to Sunday night's games. Hopefully I can pull out a win this time...hopefully.

Give it up, you're done.

 

[JFM92_GTRacer]

Wow horrible look for me this week (Infrared)

Both my star RBs are out. Willie Parker and S. Jackson. I had to start Selvin Young and Edge James as replacements.

 

[TwinTurbos94]

this is a close game for me it seems.

I think UNO is leading (the pts are not up on my comp).

All Day needs to have a good game tomarrow night, in order for me to uproot those radsters...

 

[Max Powers]

He's got you 77-72 right now...but yeah, you've still got AP on the board...good luck.

 

[Joey D]

Give it up, you're done.

It appears that way, it's sort of depressing knowing I haven't won a single game.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Oh football gods.. will I ever get any kind of points from my receivers?

 

[UnoMOTO]

yeah...holding AP to 5 points just isn't happening. I'm going down this week.
