Dragon Slayers- Commish Fuckentino has already clinched his division,
which is good news for him cause it means the Pilchards won’t drop him
down to a Wildcard team. Did you know that the Slayers have only scored 45
points less than the Kings? Slayers finish up the season 3-1 while the Kings
go 1-3 as the Slayers win the #1 spot.
Suicide Kings- Still a good team. Priest Holmes has scored 339 points-
more than probably any other player. He is worth both RB’s on any other
team. Even so, Kings traditionally go on an end of the year swoon, so it
will likely happen again this year.
Sandbaggers- I haven’t given this team their due, but looks like I’m
forced to. Not surprisingly, they’ve torn up the league the past 7 weeks,
which coincides with Vick being such a great fantasy player during this
time. The Nick and Nick team can probably keep it up to end up as division
champs.
Jaguars- Were hot, now are not. They have taken a hurtin’ at the QB
position, with their Phila QB’s and their Jag’s QB’s. Used to lead the
division and now may have to fight for a wildcard spot, although another
victory would seem to virtually guarantee them a playoff spot and how can
they not win 1 of the next 4.
TNT Explosion- At one point they were neck and neck with their division
leaders, who remarkably are the Baggers and the Jags. 3 of the 4 teams in
this division take up 3 of the playoff spots. TNT does not seem to have the
strongest roster at this point and I know they still gotta play a game each
with the Baggers and Jags to finish up the year. While the Jags should not
be hard pressed to win 1 of their next 4, TNT just might be.
Mighty Caesars- Even though they are 4-9, they have a great chance to
make it to the playoffs. They play the Pilchards in Week 14, who are due for
a loss, and being that they play the Pilchards, they also have a 50% chance
of getting the weekly high score. Mark my words, this week, Caesars score
over 120.
Show Me the Money- While they are tied for the final playoff spot, they
have suffered some massive injuries to their RB corps lately. Even so, maybe
breaks go their way and they go on an incredible win streak. Me thinks not,
but this has been a strange season. Personally, I am hoping they suffer more
roster injuries this week cause I play ‘em next week in a critical playoff
matchup for tiebreakers.
Semolina Pilchards- On paper, Pilchards should be rocking the league.
Manning, McAllister, Tomlinson, Moulds, Driver. These guys bring in the
points, but the problem is many teams end up with some of their best games
of the year against the Pilchards. I think 4 teams have won the pot against
them. Critical playoff tiebreaker matchup with the Caesars in Week 14, and
based on Pilchards Probability Statistics, it’ll be a loss. Not only did
the Pilchards have to play a schedule of the Kings, Jags, and Slayers, now
they finish out the year against Caesars, Show Me, Jags, and Bags (or vice
versa). Like a fucking limerick. Pilchards down to 5 draft picks left on
their team, and the next month will be the test of the moves.
Undertakers- A victory always makes a team feel better, but the
Undertakers lose virtually every tiebreaker to other teams. I think they
only have 1 out of division victory. They don’t score enough so they ain’t
gonna be going anywhere this year. See trophy comments under TBFC. They
apply to you guys too.
C&D TD Makers- They should have a better record than they do.
Actually they should have a 10-3 record and be competing with the Kings for
the division. But alas, they only pick the best players 78% of the time,
which results in a +6 possibility in winning games they have lost this year.
They’ve scored a bunch, made a number of moves to improve their team, but
have had a run of bad luck. Even so, based on some of the past seasons, this
year at 4-9 currently, should be considered a success.
TBFC- How the mighty have fallen. Like the Undertakers only have 1 out of
division win, so basically it is over for them. And I don’t want to hear
any of that bullshit about name on the trophy that they and the Undertakers
are so proud of. Does your job base your reviews on past years performance?
I don’t think so. Current performance counts, and you guys suck!
What’s the Point- They were eliminated from playoff contention sometime
in September. J It’s a virtual certainty
that they will get the #1 pick next year, so now it is speculation time. It
would appear that Priest Holmes will be the move, but first he has to make
it through this season. Unlike C&D, this season SHOULD NOT be considered
a success.
