Update # 15, 2001 This was a very motivating week of football. Until now, we questioned who the elite of this years FF league was…now we know. Jesse, Jake, Brunger, and Arthur. Who’d have thunk it eh? We also have a very fascinating race in the Shitbowl. ALL FOUR of last year’s “elite” (final four) are playing for the title of “WORST” team! I would NEVER have believed it if you told me this was the way it was going to go. What a reversal of fortune! Well, all’s fair in love and fantasy football. Merry Christmas, by the way. Playoff Seeds: 1. Brett (Plays Jake in week 16) 2. Brunger (Plays Jesse in week 16) 3. 4. Jesse 5. 6. Jake Shitbowl Seeds: 1. Jack (Plays Brian in week 16) 2. Brendan (Plays Kevin in week 16) 3. Kevin 4. Brian This past week: Jesse and Pup had a stellar day. Chris Chandler had his best day since junior high, and Joe Horn came through like he normally does in the playoffs. They scored 99 points and that was with a FOUR-point day out of his #1 draft pick. That says a lot! I don’t know if Trent Green will ever see the field again. Team Waterkotte, finally breaking the six-game win streak that was a sham to begin with, smoked Brooks and Carp this week! It just goes to show, 0-6 is NOT something that Superbowl champions experience. I am surprised that they didn’t make it though …as I’ve told you before, it would be MY LUCK that they would come in and win it in their first year. Sorry boys, I was looking forward to the draft next year if you HAD won it. Jake got so lucky that he should start buying lottery tickets and never stop. He added Shawn Bryson to his squad this week, and it turns out that Shawn was the ONLY person to score double digits for Jake this week. If Jake didn’t have Shawn Bryson, he’d have started the only other healthy back in his camp, Obafemi Ayanbadejo. Had he started him, he would have scored 34 points this week. LOW POINT TOTAL OF THE YEAR! There was an argument out there claiming that people shouldn’t be allowed to add players after the 14th week of the season, and now we know why. We’ll have to address this at our next meeting. As a result of Jake’s mind-boggling luck, Matt is eliminated from the playoffs. When his older, wiser, shorter brother is eliminated this week, it will validate my oft spoken belief…The Lane Boys will never succeed in FF (except maybe Wyatt)! That’s just a belief, not a certainty, so we’ll have to wait and see. FEES: Everyone has paid their league fee and the $20 deposit (and no, you won’t be getting your $4 back if you only used 16 transactions, you prepaid for 20…don’t use them…lose them)…This is what everyone owes as of now: Kevin: 17 (moves) + $5 (low point total)= 23 minus $20 (prepaid) = $3 owed + $75 (high point totals) Grand total: We owe you $72; Matt: 19 + 0 = 19 – 20 = 0 + 0 = EVEN; Brendan: 30 + 15 = 45 – 20 + 0 = 25 = You owe us another $25; Red/Slagter: 19 + 5 = 24 – 20 = $4 owed + 50 = We owe you $46; Jake: 14 + 0 = 14 –20 = 0 + $62.50 = We owe you $ 62.50; Jesse: 7 + 0 = 7 – 20 = 0 + $25 = We owe you $25; Brian: 48 + 0 = 48 –20 = 28 - $25 = I owe $3 Brett: 14 + 0 = 14 – 20 = 0 + $12.50 = We owe you $12.50; Brunger: 8 + 5 = 13 – 20 = 0 + $25 = We owe you $25; Jack: 24 + 25 = 53 – 20 = 33 + 0 = You owe us $33; Protos: 15 + 5 = 20 – 20 = 0 + $75 = We owe you $75; Komo/Rino: 13 + 10 = 23 –20 = -3 + 0 = You owe us $3; Busts: Trent Green: he was taken in the third round, and was expected to put up great numbers with a terrific supporting cast, only to put up 4 games with more than 15 points. Jeff George: No team, no comment needed Vinny Testaverde: With as many single digit games as double digit ones, this Veteran QB wasn’t even reliable enough to be a decent backup this year Eddie George: What a nightmare! Eddie still doesn’t have a 100-yard rushing game, and never did score 20 ALL season. Last year Eddie was good for 5 twenty-point games. Sheesh! Lamar Smith: Since week 5, Lamar has only scored in double digits ONCE! No wonder Brendan’s squad reeked so badly. Michael Bennett: Taken well before Ladanian Thomlinson, Michael has 12 games with fewer than 9 points. He’s had TWO 20 point games of late, but a lot of help that’s been! Tim Biakabutuka: He DID get hurt, but even when healthy…what a joke! Randy Moss: It took until week 9 to break the 10-point mark. Guess who Randy was playing when he broke out? ME! Bastard! Mushin Muhammed: ELEVEN weeks with less than 5 points? DAMN! Guess who had him….BRENDAN! Derrick Alexander: SIX games with fewer than 5 points, TWO games with over 10…not worth a third round pick! Peter Warrick: NOT A SINGLE GAME with double digits! Enough said. Amani Toomer: ELEVEN games less than 9 points…a lot under 5. BOO! Eric Moulds: Eleven games less than 7 points, six games with 3 or under …enough said. Sleepers: Steve McNair: Since week five, double digits in every game, since week 11, every game over 20. Kordel Stewart: Only four games less than 10 points, and taking his team to the Superbowl! Not going to win FF for you, but no one though this was possible. Tom Brady: On NO ONE’S draft board this year, he’s quietly posted 5 games with 25 or more. He’s been slowing down of late, but he’s still a giant sleeper. Chris Chandler: SIX games with over 20 points constitutes a pretty decent QB. Not an every week starter, but better than anyone thought possible. Antowain Smith: Eight games with over 10 points!?! COME ON!?! I thought this guy would be bagging groceries by week 6. Ladanian Tomlinson: NINE games with over 10 points, NO games under 6 points, and averages 13.5 a game…I’d call that a surprise. Jerome Bettis: No one thought enough of this guy to take him in the first four rounds, but he’s well over anyone’s expectations. Priest Holmes: Topping 40 points TWICE, he’s surprised football fans everywhere. Week one and two would have made me trade him alone, but after that, he’s gone crazy. Ahman Green: WOW! Only 2 games under 10, and 4 games over 20. Pretty impressive. Derrick Mason: Lately, has been blowing up. As Steve McNair goes, so goes Mason Bill Shroeder: Who knew he would be in the tops in the league in TD recepts? Kevin Johnson: No one even knows it, but Kevin Johnson has had 8 or more points every week…except four…ha ha ha. But no one thought he could be a SOLID number two receiver…except Red I guess. High Point Totals: Week. 1: Brung $25 Week 2: Brian $25 Week 3: Kevin $25 Week 4: Red $25 Week 5: Kevin $25 Week 6: Jake $25 Week 7: Jesse $25 (maybe 5% also) Week 8: Art/Jake (Tie) $12.50 each Week 9: Kevin $25 (after being LOW point last week) Week 10: PROTOS $25 Week 11: Jake $25 Week 12: Red $25 Week 13: Protos $25 Week 14: Protos $25 Low Point Totals: Week 1: Jack $5 Week 2: Jack $5 Week 3: Brendan $5 Week 4: Proto's 5$ Week 5: Komo/Rino $5 Week 6: Brunger $5 (First to go from the "good" list, to the "bad" list) Week 7: Komo/Rino $5 Week 8: Kevin! $5 (Second to go from the "good" list, to the "bad" list) Week 9: Brendan $5 (welcome back Brendan) Week 10: Jack $5 Week 11: Red $5 Week 12: Jack $5 Week 13: Brendan $5 Week 14: Jack $5 |
