Fantasy Football 2008

That was a hell of a statement this week, Walt. It will be noted in the commish's note. :) The whole, "year of the WRs" didn't work out too well for ya in the mmj league though. I would've been out based on my draft in both leagues but being all over the waiver wire paid off for me.

I'm not going to hate on lincecum. I actually really like him, but I have an obvious bias.

Nice win there Dylan - methinks you'll need to score a few more than 48 to win this week!

LOL. You could be right, Chris. You could be right.

just wanna give some love to the panthers. in my money league i was up .63 of a point, and would have lost if the panthers defense didn't block the extra point. this was my first year playing with fractional points, and i love it. it's so much better. you get everything your player earns. you don't get pissed every time someone ends a game with a 9, and it puts a stop to ties. it's pretty cool, we should do that next year. that's right, i'm thinking about year. i've got my playoff beard growing, and it's not looking good.

also good luck to the playoff teams!

Fractional points sounds good to me. I'm going to do it in the league I commish too. I wonder who would have won our regular season if we had fractional points.

I'm down with that. I'm already thinking about next year also. Both of my teams were a bust this year. I just got a shitty draft in this league, but injuries plagued me in the DBT league that I'm in.

I guess you could say injuries plagued me in this draft as well. My top 2 RBs were McGahee (who I wasn't happy with as my top pick to begin with) and Grant. Grant was slowed down considerably at the first of the year and McGahee has been pretty spotty all year.

in the jacket league, or the gang? i'm looking forward to the playoff in the gang. aust and i have been talking some junk to each other already. AMD, just wondering if you would have traded cutler (my boy) for brees? i wanted to trade, but i didn't realize at the time the trade deadline had passed.

not sure if you play any other fantasy sports, but that's the thing with football. it's really 95% draft, and 5% a pickup pans out. if someone gets injured, it's hard to make up that lose. i've always said that fantasy football is pretty much all luck. for example my buddies and i have a draft party, and there's a d-bag that always shows up unprepared, and butchers names, but he wins. maybe i over think things, but in other fantasy sports you can at least make up for a player that doesn't workout or gets injured. i guess you can say, it is what it is.

I meant in the jacket league since there was a three-way tie at the top and we all three had a tie on our record, it'd be interesting to know who would have won out. We were all three pretty close in overall points, too. I'm pretty excite about the playoffs in both leagues.

That's right, I made the playoffs in all three of my leagues. Luck my ass! 8-)

I probably would have accepted that trade, Walt, because Brees is my boy. But I would have really mulled that one over. I couldn't believe Cutler was still available when I went looking for a QB. Luck my ass! ;)

Congrats to JonT! It looks like he never agreed to the money so we're off the hook, but I'll send ya a mixtape if you're interested!

Killgies kicked my ass in the third place game.

Good season, fellas. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Crispy · Dec 22, 2008, 09:29 AM

Way to go JonT, my guys totally shit the bed - I'll buy you some beers if I ever see you. I should have paid attention to the weather in NE, but Delhomme still wouldn't have helped - my TE was my highest scorer! But as they say, I'm just glad to be here, I gave 110%, I thank Jesus for giving me my abilities, and just wait til next year!

;D ;D ;D

and I blame Jesus for my loss. ;)

Thanks!!!! My team started kicking ass at the end of the season. I like to call the Bad Motherfuckers a team of destiny. ;D I had decent year in fantasyland. I had three teams and went for the cycle, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd!! And, my 3rd place league paid out more than the other.

For the record, I think I did agree on the $$$. Regardless, I'd prefer mixtapes and beers any day of the week! :)

Good season everyone!
