Neo, congratulations in league 1. That Lamar Miller/ODB combo went off last night.

That was vicious.
 
Well McD5, it's time to see if your Palmer to Floyd setup is going to get you there. They need to go off big for you.

Boone...think we'll be playing for the championship in 2 leagues?
 
Two great semi final matches setting themselves up going into the Sunday and Monday nighters for League #2.

According to projections, both games should finish with potential final scores that are decided by less than two points. Wow.
 
It would appear I am done for the year. Congratulations to both Boone and Burgundy Burner. Well played gents. Well played.

Thanks for the great season all, especially our Commish, Shi. Your work is appreciated brother.
 
Canadian Hog beats me on less than a point on the last desperation play tonight!!!!

Brutal.

That's two dominating league teams going down this week.

I really wanted to win all 3 playoff games... greedy I guess...

That was damn close, You almost pulled the championship treble.
 
That was my powerhouse team, 11-2 going in. Less confident I can go all the way in either of the other leagues, but guess I should just feel glad to still be alive.

Our game proved that luck factors into fantasy football more than anything else.

My team last season in BGO was much like yours - very consistent and dominant throughout the year, only to be outlasted in the playoffs against an inferior opponent.

I had a scrap heap of players going for me in the semis, largely due to the large volume of injuries I've racked up. Tim Hightower and Matt Jones at RB, Ben Watson at TE, and James White at FLEX are not exactly a championship type team.
 
I'm still shocked at what happened last night. Glad to be playing for a championship.

Did well in league three to finish fifth and have a winning record.

Hoping to win in league one and avoid the basement.
 
I'm number 5! I'm number 5! Mediocre but consistent finishing 5th in both leagues. In league 1, that was about right. But league 2 will always be my regret as I had a lot of talent on that roster that couldn't come through when it mattered. Such is the life of playing fake football.

Thanks to everyone who played and to Shi for running the leagues.
 
Well, it's championship time. Time to see who's luck and selections worked out better than all the others, and who used their waiver claims for the best players after yet another RB got injured.

In League #1, we have Boone's Fear the Kitty versus Shi no Tenshi's Violator Bunnies. Last time these teams met, all the way back in week 6, Fear the Kitty dominated the Bunnies 110.08 - 67.86. Will Brady go to the air against the Jets again to put Boone to his first ever championship, or will Shi no Tenshi manage to repeat with Kirk Cousins mutilation of the Eagles defense? :D

In League #2, we have Burgundy's Burners taking on Canadian Hog's Bacon Strips. These joyous people got to play twice, and split their series, with Burner winning the most recent matchup 119 - 56.42. Burgundy Burner is currently projected to take 1st place, but Hog has changed his lineup to try and get lucky.

In League #3, Boone and Shi no Tenshi decided to go at it again, since League #1 was looking like so much fun. This time, Boone is pinning his hopes on Kirk Cousins and DeSean Jackson, so I am hoping that I can overcome the 80 points I want those two to put up. Hopefully the Eagles get annihilated, and I will have something to feel good about even if I lose :D There were also two matchups between these teams, with the most recent being won by the Recalcitrant turtles, 133.89 - 92.76.

So, who do you think will win? Who will be the most dominant in Fantasy this year? Will Boone break out like a boss and finally say things went his way? Will Burgundy Burner ever look back on that wistful day in November where he predicted his own lack of playoff berth, only to have himself vying for first to the very end? Or will the Bacon strips be as delicious as they sound?
 
Good luck to all of the finalists this season. Shi, a special thanks to you for putting all of this together again. I appreciate the effort. You did a great job.
 
And we are off and running. Good luck to all in the final week.
 
Congratulations to Burgundy Burner, our League #2 Champion!

Well played - you deserved it and certainly had a better team more worthy than mine of a championship.
 
Thanks. I asked Shi to move Demarco Murray to the starting lineup. You were away and didn't know that Matt Jones was scratched from the lineup last night. It's the right thing to do and reflects how close it was for both of us.

Congrats on a great season.

It looks as if I will finish 9th in league one - not the basement and had a decent points day today. Congrats to Shi in that league - safe to say he wins it.

Congrats to Boone in league three. It was good I suppose that Shi and Boone have a championship and split the results. I finished fifth in that league and my last game was a week ago.

What a FF season. So many injuries. None of my teams looks like it did at the beginning. Thanks for making it another great season, Shi. Your leadership and help in these leagues is nothing short of awesome.
 
All 3 FF Championships have been decided. Shi No Tenshi took me in League #1. BB wins League #2 (although I feel compelled to say had I not lost out on being in the championship game by less than a single point last week, I likely beat BB for the title today). And I, the mighty Boone, take League #3 (with ironically my weakest team). It's been good having Kirk Cousins at QB for the past month.

Congrats to everyone - it was a lot of fun competing.

BB - between now and next year, you need to come to grips with how FF is played - it's harsh, brutal, and it's every man for himself :) You snooze, you lose. That's the way it will be next year too.

I don't know if I can do 3 leagues again. It doesn't sound like a lot of work, but just making sure you stay on top of it and have your lineups set, stay aware of bye players, and make smart moves is a lot for 3 leagues.

But I definitely learned more this season than I have previously as a result. Echo BB's praise Shi - you did a great job and we so appreciate it :cheers:

FF is all about luck. Many players will underperform, get scratched last minute, suit up and not have a damn thing on the stat sheet...it happens to the players who put the time in and those who just put out a lineup without really knowing anything about football (lady at work went to the playoffs in second place and may have won it, and she didn't know anything about football and autodrafted.)

We do what we can to minimize the risks, but in the end, that's all we can do. FF is all about complaining how bad your team screwed you on any given week :D

For the winners, I am planning to give trophies, but I will need addresses via PM. Also, I believe Boone definitely showed he is the overall master of the 3 leagues, given that he had the highest ranking teams over all 3. As such, he will get the championship belt, that he must wear and take pictures of, to show us all how much better he is than us. May we all bow upon his majesty, he who but for a small setback would have had a team in all 3 championships.

Get me the address to send the goodies to, BB and Boone. :D
