My fate is in my own hands

I had a very productive fantasy weekend. There is only one week left in the reagular season scheadule for FF, and it's going to be the biggest week of the year for me.

I have managed to some how stay within 1 game of the playoffs in my ancaster league. I keep winning one gmae loosing one game. I'll know be one game out going into next weekend, and I must win both games to give myself any shot. With a healthy Colston playing next week, it just might be possible.

Tom Cruise league, I made a huge comeback against my cousin. He was up 70 points going into sunday after Tony Romo had a huge thanksgiving day performance. I'm up 3 points going into tonights game, he has Donald Driver playing, I have Greg Jennings playing. So who ever gets the ball tonight will determine my fate in that league.

Than there is the Trash Talking is a Must. By far my most important pool, and the one I care the most about. I took care of business this week. High score for the league again, and i absolutly rolled over the guy i was playing. It was huge, also cause he was a position ahead of me and i needed to beat him to get back into 6th place. I needed another team to loose aswell for me to move up 2 spots, and he got beat too, so now it's all down to one week. I work all summer and for the whole season, and my fantasy world comes down to this. Game 7, 9th inning with 2 stikes and 2 outs. Throw everything out the window thats happnened up to now, a 1 game season. I win this sunday coming and I make the playoffs, thats all I have been working for, and who better to play than the one and only Matty B. Thats right, I'm up against my biggest fantasy foe. I can't recall if I have ever beat him before on a sunday afternoon. Even in this little bullshit league that I play in with him, I'm 10 -1 in that league, I played matt this sunday in it, and i have Favre playing tonight against his hasselbeck, i might loose. No one has even come close to me in that league and Matt steps up and challenges me. I can't lie, if Matt beats me next week, it will take a serious toll on our friendship. I know its not really his fault if he beats me, but I'll place all blame on him and hold a grudge against him for the rest of my life.

I'm a little depressed today

Yesterday was one of the worst days ever. Basically, before yesterdays football games, all 3 of my Fantasy teams had a chance to make the playoffs with wins. After the first quarter of football yesterday, I was officially eliminated from the the playoffs, in all pools.

Right off the bat, Mcnabb goes down, torn ACL. Than Colston, hurt his ankle, out for the game. I was relying on those 2 guys for my Ancaster league, but unfortunatly, i lost both my games in that league, and I have no chance of winning from here on out without those 3 guys playing.

Than there is the Tom Cruise Fans league. That one, i just had a horrible week. No injuries, just a really bad week.

The worst one of all was the Trash Talking pool. Once again, someone had a career week against me. This team that has been shit all year long, and in second last place, has a monster week of 150 points. I still put up 120 points, which was more than every other owner in the league, but due to bullshit matchup fantasy football, I loose, and get punished for having one of the best teams in the league. It will be an anomilly that I will be the point total leader of this league, but i will miss the playoffs and finish around 10th or 11th. I can't believe it. It makes me sick, I finally have LT on my team for a season, and I'm not even going to compete for the championship.

Thats all i have to say. I'm not a happy person today.

I can't stand fantasy football

Thats right, I can't stand the thing i live for. Fantasy Football drives me nuts every week. This week was no different.

Out of my 3 big pools, the Trash Talking one has been a pain in my ass for weeks now. The ups and downs I am experiencing in that league are really taking there toll on me. I have the single best player in the NFL on my team, LT, and i'm not even sure I will make the playoffs. This guy scores 4 TD yesterday, 3 the week before that, another 3 the week prior, and puts up like 40 points on command, and I have no one around him to help me out. I feel like the freakin chicago bulls of the 80's. Jordan putting up 50 points a night, and the rest of the cast throwing in like 10 points. I took another loss this week to a team who got extremely lucky, again. The only positive to the loss was all the guys i was tied with for the last spot are taking L's this week too, except for Matty B who will jump one spot a head of me. So i'm in a must win situation the rest of the year. Same shit happenned to me last year, and i finished 7th, only 5 points behind 6th place.

In my ancaster league, I split my games for the 3rd week in a row, and i remain, of course, 1 game back from the playoffs. Next week I play 2 of the 3 teams i will be one game back from. If i can pull of a 2 week win, i will be in good position to make the playoffs. My team isn't even close to strong enough to compete with the top 3 teams, but making the playoffs would be nice anyways.

In my tom cruise league, I lost and I'm fucked for this year. No way I make the playoffs in that one, so i'll be fighting it out for the ass bowl.

The only league I'm dominating is this shitty Yahoo league, where I am 9-1 and rolling over the other team every week. Big game next week against the only other team that can challenge me, after that it will be a total cake walk. I got the best team in the league by far.

I had to go to a bar mitzvah this week, so I didn't get to do to much. I saw the movie Borat on saturday. It was funny, but didn't meet my expectations. Jackass 2 was way more funny. BUt still some really funny stuff. Have to say to funniest thing in the movie was a festival his home town does every year. Instead of the running of the bulls like in spain, Khazakstan has the running of the Jews. They show all these people come runnning around the corner with this big Green headed monster carring jewelry and money, and big noses. IT was a lot more funny than i'm describing here. Check the movie out, it's worth it for a good laugh.

Glad to see Matt is back safe from his honeymoon. Only thing that concerned me was how much time Matt spent on MSN during his honeymoon. I guess he couldn't get it up all week worrying about forgeting his sweatervest for golf.

Solid weekend

This weekend had it all for me. Party, Sports, relaxation, and Football. Yes i keep football seperate from sports, only becuase sports is bonus in life, and football is a way of life for me.

Friday night, one of my best friends from western came to Niagara Falls for the night. I haven't seen any of those guys for about 2 years now and we picked up right were left off. I met them down at they're hotel room and the party started right away. We had a great time, it was just like back in school. It was also my first trip to the worst bars ever in Niagara Falls, but with these guys it was still a tonne of fun. Woke up saturday morning a little hung over, but thats the price you pay for having a great time sometimes.

Saturday night, I was at the Sabres games thanks to my good buddy Matt. They lost for the first time this year in regulation, and lost to the Leafs. I couldn't believe they lost to the freakin Leafs. I hate the leafs. But the game was still fun, and Matts seats are pretty good.

Sunday was of course the greatest day of the week cause Football was on. I had a tough week in fantasy football. I got screwed twice by the best player in the league LT2. I have him in my trash talking league. I got beat in that league this week by the worst team in fantasy football. I put up the 3rd highest score in the league this week, and the worst team, the last place team, had a career week and put up the 10 more than i did. He hasn't put up over 100 points all season and all of a sudden he throws down 138 on me. I couldn't believe it. I'm getting really screwed in this league. Currently I sit in 6th place, with 4 wins and 5 losses, and I have the most points in the league by 20 points. This shouldn' be happenning. I consistently put up a lot of points and i consistently run up against guys when they have their best week. I've never seen anything like it where the guy with the most points in the league has a lossing record. I still got faith for this league. I'm finally going to be 100% healthy this week, and no more byes, I should be rolling from here on out, but it is fantasy football, and I have the worst luck, so i will probably lose from here on out.

This week i'm working on another deal in my ancaster league to basically give up this year, and concentrate on next. Right now, I'm hoping to trade Marques Colston and Kellen Winslow for Chris Chambers and another first round pick for next year. If i can pull off this deal, I will be able to consider this one of my best fantasy years, even though I won't win. I started ths season with basically nothing. Only 1 solid keeper out of 4, no draft picks untill the end of the 4th round. On the fly, I worked a couple deals, got slightly lucky, and have turned out to have amazing keepers for next year and I'm this close to having a full draft back for next year. My keeper for next year (pending this deal) would be McNabb, J. Addai, L. Maroney, and C. Chambers. Plus I would have 2 first round picks, and all my other picks. I would be taking a ridiculous team into next year. I would be very happy with this, if I can pull it off. I'll let you know, I know you can't control your self with anticipation Cal.
