Fantasy Week in Review - Week 13

CHAMPION!

Nov. 29, 2009

Rag's Doombringers won the California Golden Blogs Championship by a score of 164 to 128 over Yellow Fever.Toby Gerhart led the team in scoring in the championship round and he also led the team in scoring for the season. Congrats once again to Rag's Doombringers on a terrific College Fantasy Football Season. Hope to see you all next year!

So close, yet so far. But really, I knew I had no chance once I saw Jerrod Johnson's stat line. Watching Jonathan Dwyer and Josh Nesbitt get stuffed repeatedly by the Georgia defense didn't help a whole lot either, especially considering that Tonka Toby was running Charlie Weis right out of South Bend at the same time with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

But it's ok, it's not like I paid for season tickets to watch my favorite basketball team set a NBA record for consecutive losses to start the season or anything.

Oh wait. FML.

COLLEGE PICK'EM STANDINGS

League 1, 2

1t. rickysanchez - 145
1t. class of 87 - 145
3. Montezuma's Revenge - 140
4t. goshatgo - 138
4t. Clean Cut Media - 138
6t. Josh in Portland - 137
6t. AussieBrian - 137
6t. runk runk runk - 137
9t. vanman1013 - 136
9t. tmoran3020's picks suck - 136

Certainly looks like either rickysanchez or class of 87 are going to be the ones to pull this out, as there are only nine games to pick this week.

This week's winners? Thoroughbred's Winners and LEastCoastBears, who both had 11 correct picks for the week. Both misfired on Pittsburgh (even) against West Virginia, North Carolina -6 against N.C. State, LSU -3.5 to Arkansas, and UCLA +13 against USC. I don't even know what to say about that last one.
Only eight people correctly picked Illinois +21 against Cincinnati, ten picked West Virginia straight up against Pittsburgh, five picked N.C. State +6 against North Carolina, seven picked Mississippi State +8 against Mississippi.
A disturbing number of people picked UCLA. Truly disturbing.
And this was cut out of the above picture for the college fantasy football league, but I had both Jacquizz Rodgers and Jeremiah Masoli on a bye last week. A bye! My two best guys! This coming on the heels of almost losing last year's championship to HydroTech because Javon Ringer had a bye. I need to look at these schedules next year.

Rags, please let us hear your victory speech. Congratulations!

I play only two weeks, and I get mentioned in the best recurring column on the webs.

Eat that, people with lives!

After a season-long climb into the top ten of the Pick ’em league, I went 3 for 17 last week to plummet out of the top ten. DAMN MY POORLY TIMED SUCKITUDE

Man, 3/17 is pretty hard to pull off.

Proud to hold season tickets to the only NBA team soon to be owned by a Russian oligarch.

Hey, at least Yi Jianlian is coming back soon to continue his pattern of one great game, two horrible games where you wonder if he’s ever played basketball before, one great game, two horrible games.

Except he hasn’t even had a single great game in a while either.

Didn’t he open the season pretty strongly? I remember a 24 and 11 somewhere in there. And a couple 18/7s

He only played about two games this year. He did reasonably well last year to start the season.

If you win with Tobes, is it really winning?

Fantasy football means leaving fandom behind. But, I can assure you, had ‘Tobes’ somehow been ineligible due to rampant herpes, Rags would not be that broken up about it. Frankly, we’d all love that story.

this is how rumors get started.

“Did you hear about Gerhart’s herpes??”

“No, but I did hear about his syphilis”

I wish I hadn't missed out on the fantasy league

In other words, Go Bears!

So many people to thanks for this victory...

Jerrod Johnson (the #1 QB). Noel Devine. Garrett Graham (the #2 TE). Lyle Leong. The entire Alabama defense (the #4 defense). Even Eric Decker, who was unable to finish the season for me. And, yes, Toby Gerhart (the #1 RB). I started him with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind, and to win another championship, I’d do it again.

But, most of all, I’d like to thank CBSSports’ autodrafter, for picking this winning team for me. Sure, it may have picked Sam Bradford with my first-round pick, who was injured in his first game and never played for me again, but it made up for it by picking backup Jerrod Johnson in the 10th round, after such QBs as USC’s Aaron Corp, West Virginia’s Jarrett Brown, and North Carolina State’s Russell Wilson.

Oh, and Yellow Fever? I very nearly picked up a random QB for the finals just so I wouldn’t have to start Jerrod Johnson against the Texas defense. And then I got lucky when all the walk-on QB options sucked, so I went with Johnson anyway.

I am the greatest! Bow before my autodrafting skillz!!!

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
