Week 3: Inconsistency & Injuries

___________________________________________________

"Whatever, it’s still not as bad as being on T’s roster."
___________________________________________________

What better way to kick off division play than a bye week for Joey and Rock?

First off, I think I need to apologize to Spae and Ginny for their pathetic week 2 point output. It should be pretty clear to anyone who looked at the scoreboard this week that Urgie and I would not be denied the title of “least deserving of a victory”. The reality is, I should’ve learned my lesson after Ginny’s 2003 championship game collapse. You see, when a player loses an immediate family member he’s going to be fantasy gold that week. Fuck Torrey Smith!

Second, I don’t know if it’s the replacement refs or the slew of injuries, but it seems like everyone’s fantasy teams have been up and down through the first three weeks. With no one stepping up to be the model of consistency it’s getting tough to figure out who will be the one to beat this year. The only thing I’m sure of at this point is that T-Smoke’s team is just as hopeless as Ginny’s. My advice is to stop spreading yourselves so thin among other leagues. Perhaps the two of you can finally find some common ground and become united in your hatred of me calling you out.

Third, and finally, Spae and I were talking about implementing a performance element to quarterback scoring. The idea is that since QB touchdowns count as 6 points when most leagues have them at 4, there should be a -2 deduction for interceptions. I started a poll so vote on what your opinion on the topic would be. It won’t pass unless we get a majority vote so please weigh in.

Week 2: The Symmetry of the Standings

___________________________________________________

First of all I want to congratulate Spae on his team's powerhouse performance this past week. My only regret is I already used the photo of the "Cripple Fight" from South Park otherwise it would have been a much more appropriate way to express my feelings on the matter.

Second, I'm sorry for taking a day to update. Gym, school, and school work are occupying most of my time. I can do other things! Why shouldn't I?!

And third, the standings have developed a type of symmetry I don't know if I've seen before.

  • 2 teams who are undefeated (both in the same division)
  • 8 teams who are .500 (including an entire division)
  • 2 teams who are winless (both in the same division)

Things are pretty much up for grabs. The only person who I think is a lock to not make the playoffs this year is Ginny. Look on the bright side, by bottoming out, you'll be able to draft first overall and develop a foundation of talent rather than slumming it up in the middle of the pack. Just make sure you don't give up on Peyton yet:

Week 1 Starts Off With A Bang!

It's a point explosion in the first week!

I hope the irony of me posting something getting blown up on September 11th wasn't lost on you.

It's too soon for me to start hurling insults, making comparisons or calling anyone's team out for being bad since it's only week one. Plus, a lot of you performed really well. I don't know if I've seen this many teams (9) hit triple digits in a single week before. The cumulative point total for the first week was 1352.5. Spread that out across 12 owners and that's an average of nearly 113 points per team!

So I'll hold off for the time being when it comes to spewing any venom. Except for T-Smoke who took the title of "The guy who had to get Kevin Ogletree off the waiver wire at 3:00AM". Congratulations T, you've now got Dallas' 3rd best receiver. He's all yours.

Well I think it's safe to say that was one of the more memorable draft day experiences! It'll be interesting to see how things pan out over the course of the next few days.
