It’s time for the Fantasy Football playoffs, for the rest of the folks in my league anyway. That’s right, I finished LAST!
An abysmal year for me. My worst yet! Ah well, lesson learned. Put a bit more time into it. =P

Guess its time for another Fantasy Football update. The news isn’t good.

My team is currently 2-9. That’s right, two wins, two losses. That puts me firmly at the bottom of my league’s pile. Though in my defense I do have the most points scored against me.

Take this past week for example. I scored 84 points, my opponent 115. Clear win, yet had I played almost anyone else in my league I would have won. The second highest score for the week was 90 points. Just my luck that on a poor scoring week I get to play the one exception. ~sigh~

So only three weeks left before Fantasy Football Playoffs. Since only the top 8 of 10 will make it, I am pretty sure that I have no chance.

Poot!

If this were Football in my fantasy world, my team would be scoring better (shocking, I know!). But alas I have to share with everyone in my league and thus have to play ‘fair’. (Poot!) I should really reclassify it as Horror Football, as that would be far more accurate to my current experience. =P

Currently my team is 1-4 and that is with me switching people around. Picked up Eli Manning (who did awesome this week!) and Jermaine Gresham who is better than my old TE.

Not that any of that matters as my opponents seem to be rolling in the luck. Last week my opponent played Aaron Rodgers, you know the week that Mr Rodgers essentially played the entire offensive side by himself, with 408 yards passing, 4 passing touch downs, and 2 rushing touchdowns. Ridiculous. Aaron Rodgers alone almost outscored my entire team last week.

This week I had such high hopes. And I was doing great, ten points ahead by the end of Sunday. We both have one team member to go. Tight End vs Line Backer, could have gone either way. Monday night, I loose by three points. =(

And so I am 1-4. Horrific. ~sigh~

Finally a win in Fantasy Football. The previous two weeks were dismal. Really poor showing with almost the lowest scoring team both weeks. And then week 3 breaks through like a kick return for a touch down!

Fantasy Football is back!! I might actually pay attention to my team again.

Matt Schaub, even though he lost, still threw for 373 yards and 3 touchdowns. Mike Wallace managed 144 recieving yards and a touchdown. And the fabulous New York defense sacked the QB twice and intercepted the ball 3 times, all while only allowing 16 points to be scored on them.

Go team! Ra Ra!

Week one of Fantasy Football is over and my opponent had the highest score in the league. Its not looking so good for me this year.

(>_<)

Behold my starting line up. For this past weekend anyway. My team is far to mediocre for this line up to remain.

QB – Matt Schaub
WR – Mike Wallace
WR – DeSean Jackson
RB – Chris Johnson
TE – Kellen Winslow
W/R – Maurice Jones-Drew
K – Stephen Gostkowski
DEF – New York
D – Shaun Smith

Weak links currently are Quarter Back, Defensive player and Running Backs. Tight End isn’t so hot either, but its a low scoring position. Don’t think there is anything I can do about QB since all the good ones are taken already.
Time to find new players. Any good ones out there?

My 2010 Fantasy Football season officially came to a close today, as my team was beaten in the first round of the playoffs. Although 116 to 65 looks more like half my team didn’t even bother to show up.

Overall it’s been a terrible football season for my team. We barely made it into the play offs at all.

Ah well, we will learn from our losses and come back next year a stronger, more able, and focused team. GO TEAM! That is if I get a good draft. If I get another crappy draft (like this year!) I’m blaming the Quarterback, or the defense.

It’s never the team owners fault. Never ever ever.

I completely forgot to mention that its Fantasy Football time again! Actually its almost halfway done. My not posting might have a bit to do with my incredibly bad record this year. My team is currently 2-6. Thats right, two wins and six losses and it doesn’t look to be getting better.

Fantasy Football has just not been going my way this year, though I guess since I won last year, its karma. =)

I would post my roster, but its been in so much flux (due to injuries and suckyness and byes) that I haven’t had the same team for more than two weeks in a row. Oh well.

The Giants are the 2010 World Series Champions!!!!!!!!!

If you dont know what I’m talking about go here! To those of you who are confused about a west coast team winning I say SUCK IT! Best team won!

Time to party until our Jerseys come off!!

<3 <3 <3 SF Giants!!

Chances are you have already played this game; if not on the DS then probably on the Wii or GameCube. It is not terribly shocking that Mario Kart DS is just like all of its predecessors. (Take note that Mario Kart for the Wii came out three years after this DS version!)

At its core, Mario Kart is a standard racing game. The whole gang is there, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and so forth. Chose one of them and race around iconic Mario world racetracks.

What always made it incredibly fascinating for me was the focus on drifting. With three difficulty levels, mastering the drift is essential to winning, especially once the competition gets harder.

Fantasy Football Champion ’09, that’s me!

I ended up drafting first, which might have helped, but then I’m never sure who to draft, thus my draft order is always a bit wonkey. Never the less I got a team that started out a bit slow but ramped up nicely.

The team finished the season middle of the pack and as luck would have it, most of my players actually participated in the final fantasy playoff weeks.

I dedicate this win to Wes Welker ~sniff sniff~ who kept us strong but had to leave us at the end for a serious knee injury.

Thank you team! I couldn’t have done it without you. =)
