Mr. Fantasy Playoff Spectacular

Before we get to the Mr. Fantasy good stuff, a little bit of humor.  Apparently Darryl (Chapter 51) has had it with being teased for 5 years (as has everyone else) by Mr. Fantasy.  So he sent this email in:

Mike,

STOP crying like a bitch about you picking my 2

players.They were the best players left to pick.

Did you pick TENN QB? NO how about RICE ? NO

Davis had 4 td's all year. You can't pick , coach or

GM better than the UNDERTAKERS. We have made the

playoffs 4 Years in a row (1st Team to do that)

We won the whole thing last year and will win it again

this year.

I will tell you this , you are a hell of a

commish.That's were you belong.

I will be there with bells on TONITE.Thanks for your

time LOSER!!!!!!!!!!

2000 DTFL CHAMPIONS

Darryl had to leave during the draft so he had to have a former league owner draft for him.  Boy was he lucky.  He may have been totally out of it otherwise!  Oh and by the way, most people put a space after their period's.  Maybe that's why I only read one Chapter in your book, I didn't know it ever ended!  :-)

Mr. Fantasy DTFFL Draft Analysis

Already loaded with NE and Oakland QB’s, TBFC strengthened their stable of running backs by selecting Faulk with the first overall pick. As it is the playoffs, Mr. Fantasy expects lots of rushing. The receivers on this team seem to be pretty weak but likely to make it past the first round of the playoffs. They have good regular season kickers, but who knows if the opportunities will be as great during the playoffs. The St. Louis D/ST should be a terrific point scorer as should the Pittsburgh D/ST.

Picking 2nd, the Undertakers took the logical choice in St. Louis QB’s. Along with the SF QB’s who made their season (not drafted by the Undertakers) they may have the strongest QB tandem. The Undertakers continued their excellent draft picks by selecting backups with virtually every pick leaving the better first stringers for the other teams. The Undertakers seem not to desire their name being imprinted on the trophy two years in a row. All Mr. Fantasy knows is that every other team better look out for that tough looking lineup consisting of Kevan Barlow, Jason Brookins, Correll Buckhalter, Az Hakim, Ricky Proehl, and David Terrell. Ohhhhh, I’m so scared!!!!!! Lucky for the Undertakers that they have half way decent kickers and D/ST’s to go along with their QB’s.

With the 3rd pick the Jaguars took the Pittsburgh QB’s. I think everyone agrees Kordell Stewart has had an incredible year. I pity the poor fool who wasted on early draft pick on him next year. Hopefully Kordell plays well in the playoffs cause the Jag’s can’t hope for much from Vinnie and the Jets. I’m not so impressed with much of the rest of their team and it looks like it could be a quick exit for the Jags this year.

Picking 4th the Suicide Kings took Antowain Smith. Now before you laugh, keep in mind that Mr. Fantasy has picked the Pat’s to win it all. Sure it’s convenient to make the easy pick and go with St. Louis, but it’s more thrilling to be right on a sleeper pick! The QB’s on this team are incredibly weak with Miami and TB. Likewise, the RB committee of Garner, Hearst, Smith, and Crockett isn’t going to scare many. The WR’s could be extremely powerful for this team, but they also have the potential to be utterly worthless. Kickers and D/ST are also slightly weak.

The Dragon Slayers had the 5th pick thanks to the Pilchards winning their first game in 7 weeks. While at the draft, the Undertakers were right when they told the Pilchards thanks for the money, the Pilchards win over the Slayers ensured that the new Commish would not be taking any of the Pilchards money this year. Picking up the Philadelphia QB’s with their first pick, this team could be fierce since the also have the GB QB’s. The RB’s are pretty weak, and the WR’s are average. Kickers look pretty good except for Cortez only getting extra points and probably being eliminated in week 1 of the playoffs. Also not impressive are the D/ST from Miami and SF.

For the second year in a row, TNT finished 6th, just making it into the playoffs. With the 6th pick, they started off with Chicago QB and finished up the playoff draft with the only QB still on the table being the Baltimore QB. The RB’s are weak on this team due to their overall draft position, but it is possible they could get some good scores out of their WR’s. The Kickers and D/ST’s are both above average and include the NE D/ST who Mr. Fantasy has picked to win the Super Bowl. As a matter of fact, this D has scored more League points than any other player on TNT’s team.

Fantasy Bowl Odd’s.

TBFC 2 to 1

Undertakers 3 to 1

Dragon Slayers 10 to 1

TNT Explosion 20 to 1

Jaguars 50 to 1

Suicide Kings 100 to 1

TBFC vs. Undertakers for the Fantasy Bowl, but Faulk and NE QB’s are to strong as TBFC win by 20 points overall.
