Week 11.5 - The Florida Trip Hangover

___________________________________________________

When I got back from Florida this week I was burned out enough to the point that I didn't feel any compelling need to update the site. Plus I'd been preparing all week for an exam that was scheduled for Friday the 21st (with classes cancelled, I've got another three days of prep time).

So in light of the break in my schedule, I thought I'd take it upon myself to do a new league manager's note.

To be honest, I still don't have a lot of interest in how things pan out since my team isn't consistent at putting up points in a competitive manner. Though I did pick up Latavius Murray on a count of the fact he went to UCF & was set to get an expanded role in the Oakland offense. It worked out pretty well for me... for the first half of Thursday's game.

I had considered trying to grab Jonas Gray off the free agent wire, but I felt like he was destined to be a one week wonder. Since Vic had him on his roster just a few days before playing me, it was obvious that the fantasy Gods were going to give him a big week. But Vic cut him and he went on to have a 4 TD game that wouldn't be repeated.

Until T-Smoke picked him up.

Since I'm playing T in the final week of the regular season, look for Gray to have another monster game.

Well, that's it for now. Too bad about the Jets game, I was looking forward to another bus trip to the stadium.

Week 10: That's It For Me

Acknowledging the fact that I wouldn't have beaten anyone this week, it's time to throw in the towel and look towards next year. The problem is that I even though I don't care anymore, and I'm all but eliminated from the post season, I have to keep doing these updates since Rock gets upset if I don't.

In fact, I care so little about how things transpire from here on out that I can't even discuss what's going on with the standings since I haven't even looked at who's doing well and who isn't.

And on that note, I'm taking off for Florida. See you next week.

Week 9: The Sacrilegious Schedule

___________________________________________________

Once again, I pulled myself back at the last second and shelved an update that would have centered around my contempt for Vic and Jesus. This has happened thrice this season (I'm bringing the word "thrice" back because I feel it's been grossly underused over the years), and one of these days the floodgates are going to burst open and I'll spew all the venom I've been suppressing. But this is not that day.

Instead I'd like to acknowledge the fact that there are only 2 teams who have scored more points than me this season (Ginny & T-Smoke), yet I have a 4-5 record and am on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. I have the most points scored against me this year.

Ginny has the most points scored, but he is also at 4-5 due to the schedule fucking him as well. Both he and I have had the unfortunate luck to have our opponents score an UNGODLY amount of points against us when we play.

Meanwhile Vic's above average team is sitting pretty at 6-3 and is a virtual lock to make the postseason.

This is how I imagine Vic privately celebrating every win this year...

That's the way things go when you have a head-to-head schedule. I'm not complaining though, I'd rather face an opponent each week instead of dealing a cumulative points scored system.

Still, it could be worse. I could be that sucker who turned down Rock's offer of Emmanuel Sanders in an epic trade. I won't name names. You know what a horrible decision it was to pass up on that.
