No Idiots Allowed Fantasy League

I don't have live scoring but it looked like a huge day.

Which I needed, since the fucking Jaguars started Fred Taylor instead of Greg Jones and Chris Brown's two TDs were on my bench. The Psorasis Sufferers made my skin itch.

 

Oh, stick a tampon in it. I've been burned so many times by the Fraud Taylor injury bug that you deserve what you get with Greg Jones you whiny biatch. 8)

Taylor, of course, was on my bench. At least Domanick Davis just scored ... and Buck started Vinny Testaverde and Donovan McNabb.

USC would definitely beat WKFT.

 

You probably had the biggest day in the history of the league.
And you'll still need the Maalox, because as of now, you're still in 5th place.

 

As luck would have it, you'll get the honor of sending the Testi Tubers to that deep fryer in the sky.
Hots vs. Taters next week with fourth place on the line.

 

That's great. If history is on our side, you'll sit your players.

 

I'll sit Marc Bulger in honor of our traditional rivalry.

 

Two TDs to Donald Driver! Can the Draft Dodgers make up the 21-point deficit against the Psoriasis Sufferers?

Edit: It's a 22-point gap and I think I have 15. Go Draft Dodgers!

 

If Antonio Chatman catches (or returns) one touchdown, I'll have enough points to move into fourth place.

Still plenty of time to fall out of fourth place, of course, and then our playoffs are during the crappy 16th and 17th weeks. Nothing like deciding the NIAFL Champion with a bunch of backups on the field.

 

If you're deserving of the NIAFL crown, this isn't an obstacle. Strategy. Planning. Players whose fates aren't decided until the last game. That sort of thing. It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great!

 

It is what it is for next year, but when I win this year the first thing I'll do as commish (aside from booting Dooley I mean what) is make the title game week 16.

21 is right to a point on this, but final week machinations can fuck even the most astute owner and send even second-tier stars to the bench. Example: Let's say Greg Jones ends up being the main RB down the stretch for Jax. I picked him up on waivers earlier in the year in what I hope is an example of smart management. But if the Jags have a playoff berth locked up and cannot gain anything by winning in the final weekend, there's no way the Jags will play him and risk injury.

Conversely, if the Titans are 3-12 and angling for the no. 1 pick, who's to say they play Chris Brown? They should rest him under the guise of "keeping him healthy in a meaningless game" and put Jarrett Payton or Travis Henry in.

Yes, you can try to pick these guys up, but we know how secretive NFL coaches are about things such as the time of day they reserve for taking a shit, so there's no assurance you'll know Brown or Jones isn't playing until gametime.

Point is, 21/Boom are not to blame for this, it's how we ran things last year. But yes, the week 17 title game is fraught with peril and it should be changed for next year.

 

Thank you, ma'am, may I have another.

Playoff field is virtually set.

 

Don't count me out yet ... 6-6 with three games left. It's a long shot, but 9-6 will probably get me in.
