2nd-Annual BGO Ballers Fantasy Football League

[McD5]

I'm wishing I had started Dalton and he is playing @ Baltimore. Sanchez was that bad last night.

I have Plaxico. Sanchez kills him. I feel your pain.

 

[Goaldeje]

I have Plaxico. Sanchez kills him. I feel your pain.

Dude. Come on. It's like Fight Club. We don't talk about Plax... er, that guy, around Neo.

Neo, hate to tell you this, but you're going to be an old, old man before this is forgotten...

 

[Neophyte]

Now you know why I waived Plax.

And Goal, I am good with no one forgetting it as long as they remember the good moves I have made, few that they are. Although, at this point, I think letting go of Plax might be a good move as I had three WR's over 18 points last week.

 

[McD5]

AD!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Canadian Hog]

How many teams get in the playoff round? Top 6?

 

[Neophyte]

Yes, sir. Top 6. Places 7-12 are in the Consolation playoff round.

 

[Neophyte]

Play Dalton and I win by a point today. Every single "expert" column I read this week said to sit him and play Sanchez.

*sigh*

I guess I am just going to chalk this year up to a learning experience. Frustrated but I will keep giving it my best for the rest of the year.

 

[Goaldeje]

There ya go, Neo. I remember how awful it was my first year playing. I almost gave up several times, but stuck with it. And don't worry, there are still several times a year when I blow a call and leave someone on the bench that would have won a matchup for me.

Oh well, c'est la vie, no?

 

[Nobody]

This is bull****. I am making an killer late season push, won another game today, and I am being constantly pushed away from the playoffs by people ahead of me playing people that are tanking the season. Anyone who claims they aren't tanking is full of it. I see half your rosters either empty or full of guys on bye weeks.

It'll be beyond a miracle if I make the playoffs when I'm fighting the impossible.

 

[McD5]

I have some great news. I just did some calculations, and if Aaron Hernandex can score at least 67 touchdowns tomorrow night, I can take this game.

He's on my other team, so yeah. Let's do it, Hern!

 

[McD5]

Is it wrong for me to pull for a game-ending injury to Tom Brady in the first quarter tonight?

You're right.

This is bull****.

 

[Lanky Livingston]

It wouldn't be a "bragging-rights" league without someone losing their minds over other people "tanking" the season. Of course nobody is tanking, it was all engineered by myself as commissioner, remember?

I did notice you have had the easiest schedule this year, with the fewest points scored against you. That means that somehow, you engineered the schedule to assure that you would play against teams when they had their lowest point output of the year.

Bastard!

First, let me say that is incredibly devious. And second, you should really take that act to Vegas. I mean, if you know what teams and players are gonna score certain amounts week to week, there's a gambling career in your future.

 

[Nobody]

Lol. Well, I'm still gonna force my way in in spite of you bastards And I'm gonna do it all while blasting eye of the tiger.

I just find it ironic how bad everyone jumped on Lori for thinking she was giving up, but it's apparently ok for half of the rest of the league to give up without the same ridicule.

There's only one team I would consider has "given up" at this point, and it is Elephant's team. Not getting into his motives, but I have my guesses. Matt's team had three players on NO started this past week, but the bye schedule was kinda zany, so that is understandable. Boone had a lot of Saints and Steelers as well (byes).

Myself, well I was lucky enough to play the only guy throwing in the towel, but I was on vacation last week. I forgot about the zany bye week and thought Wallace was good to go - I didn't take out AJ Green, but that was due to lack of diligence.

As far as Lindell I say "Kicker? We don't need no stinkin' kicker!"

I see what you're saying, but Matt doesn't get a pass, he had bench spots to fill those roster spots. At least Boone had the fact his backups were all hurt. He would have had to cut and pick up a lot of guys to fill his spots, so that's understandable. And Brians roster speaks for itself

It's just frustrating to be making a desperate push and seeing the people ahead of you being handed wins without effort. I know it's all part of the game, but it still sucks.

I had this same thought, Extreme, so don't feel bad, but it didn't take long to figure out what was going on with some folks. Add to that the frustration of scoring enough points on the weekend to have won against anyone in the league except the guy you were matched up with and one other dude and I was pretty unpleasant to be around Sunday night.

It's all good now though. Mostly.

 

[Elephant]

Yeah, I will say it up front. I quit for varying reasons. And while most of you may think it was the dynamic between Lanky and I, that is not entirely it. I lost interest. I lost interest for the very reason it had taken me so long to join a Fantasy league in the first place. It changed the way I watch football and I didn't like it. Couple that with the fact that Lanky decided to cut Lori out of the league taking over her team without consulting her when she and I were privately working out a deal for one of her players, not to mention our dynamic, and I was done.

Now, for those of you who call BS, well I guess an apology could be in order. But I think some of you might want to check that since you picked up my players as I began to dismantle my team. Some of you were quick to pick up players I dropped so those complaining about the fact that I may have "sabotaged" the league might want to take a look at their roster to see if some of the players I would have kept are scoring points for them.
