I'm lost

There nothing left. FF season is over and I know have to get back to actually doing some glove cleaning while at work. So this is the last update.

I couldn't be happier to announce that I dominated the Trash Talking is a must pool and have come out on top as the champion. It was so sweet too. I played against the other team in the pool that I thought was the best, Les Boys. Stacked all around. Westbrook and Chester Taylor for his RB. Wr's were Berrian, Fitzgerald, Plaxico Burress, Reggie Wayne. BUt he had no Qb, and sub par Defense and Kicker. I started the same lineup as I did for the last five weeks. Romo, LT, T. Henry, Coles, TJ Whosyourmama, Mike Furrey, Greg Jennings, SD D, Gould. LT had 13 friggin points. He's had over 30 points for the last 10 weeks, what a week for him to decide to take it easy. Didn't matter though for me. Furrey went off for 26 points, Tj helped out with another 25, and everyone else put in a solid +13 performance, and I dominated Les BOys. He had some bad breaks, but thats FF. This was a great year for that pool. Lots of competitive teams, and a lot of trash talking made the league super fun. This was also my second year in a row winning a FF pool. Ancaster league last year, and than this one. Pretty fucking sweet.

Haven't been doing much over the holidays. I've gotten to spend some time with the family, see my girlfriend Katie a lot more, and just spent a lot of time relaxing. The best part, I bought a 42 inch plasma with the winnings from the pool. OH YA. Life in HD is so much better.

Have a good new years everyone. and by everyone I mean Cal and Matt since no one else reads this stupid thing.

Championship

For the second year in a row I have reached a championship game in Fantasy Football. Lt and a couple other guys have led my team easily through the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. The trash talking league is my biggest money pool, and is filled with a bunch of my friends. Some from around here and the rest all live in Montreal. I have drawn a line between the two provinces, and how fitting is it that I play for the title against a montrealer. Pretty funny stuff, Preston, Darnel, dustin, and Matty are all on my side, rooting for me to bringing home the cup. The league is named for the amount of trash talking that goes down in this pool, and if by some miracle I win, i won't be able to contain myself for the joy of writting that email. But lets first take a look at the matchup. This should be my starting lineup.

The Glove Prince (Me, of course)

Romo or Hasselbeck

Superman (LT)
T. Henry
TJ Whosyourmama
L. Coles
M. Furrey
G. Jennings

vs

Les Boys (J Ep) - probably the toughest team, in my eyes.

No qb (Cutler/Leinart/V Young)

C. Taylor
Westbrook
Berrian
Burress
Fitz
Wayne

Those are 5 super strong players. This will be my hardest matchup without a doubt. my biggest advantage has been Lt outscoring 3 or 4 players on the other team. But his team really negates Lt, Westbrook can easily put up LT numbers one week. Plus all those WR's he has are way better than mine. I was hoping this guy would get bounced by one of the crappy teams in the playoffs, but I did figure i would have to play him eventually. The 2 best teams in the league squaring off. Whats funny about playing J -Ep is I never met the guy before, but I talk to him all the time. we did a deal one time early in the year, and now talk back in forth all the time. Mostly about how shit everyone was, and we both always thought we would meet in the championship. I can't wait for this sunday.

In all I had a pretty good fantasy year. I complained a lot about my teams, but when I look back i did better than most. Here's where I finished, or am at in all my leagues.

Trash Talking is a must - see above, Finished 6th and the points champion

Ancaster Fantasy Football Federation - Made the playoffs, lost first round, finished 9th out of 14

Tom Cruise Fans - finished dead last, with probably my best team out of all 5 leagues.

Skidley's NFL - Squeezed into the last playoff spot, finished 4th, playoffs this week and next.

Panda Ball - finished 2nd dominating the reagular season with only 2 L's, got bounced in the first round by the 7th seed team.

4 out 5 playoffs made is pretty good in my book. Update next week on the big game.

Matty B inspired me

after reading Matt's golf recap for the year I thought I would do my own for this year. in brackets is my results from last year.

2006 playing ability - I FUCKING SUCK (last year i didn't suck as much)

I wish i was as good as Matt.

What a freaking good morning

The biggest weekend of the season. eek 13 of the NFL sceadule and the last week of the reagular season for fantasy football. It couldn't have turned out much better for me.

I played Matty B this week in trash talking with my postseason dreams on the line. In a tough week where just about no one scored a ton of points, I managed to put up 105, third hghest for the week, and pulled out a slim victory last night. I was 34 points up on matt going into MNF he had Daunte Stallworth playing, i wasn't worried, untill i turned the game on at the end of the third quarter and find out he's had 111 yards and a Td, oh shit. Matts pulled it within 13 points with the 4th quarter to go. That a lot of points to make up in a quarter, but I've seen it happen before. Luckly, stallworth was shut down for he rest of the game, and I edged into the playoffs. I'm actually very happy with my results in that league. I'm in the playoffs, thats all that matters. I had a lossing record, but for the first time in any pool I have ever played in, I won the scoring championship. although this league doesn't recognize points in anyway, it a nice personal accomplishment. So i live to fight another day.

and than there is the Ancaster pool. I started this year with nothing, I say it all the time. I have a team full of rookies and lucky pick ups. yesterday I conceded to the league. I was so far behind in one game, and lost the other one out right. I was tied for he last spot with 3 other people and I figured only 2 wins would give me a fighting chance to get in the playoffs. I wake up this morning, drive to work, check the page, and holy fuck, I made the playoffs. I couldn't believe it. Jeff Garcia puts up 26 points, highest score for a QB this week, and I fucking squeeze into another playoff scenario. Unbefreakinleavable. My team is so shit in the that league, Mike Furrey and Wes Welker are my starting WR this week. Jeff Garcia starting QB. I was starting the Green Bay defense. I don't have a chance at winning the league or anything, but still, anything can happen in fantasy football. The only thing I got going for me in that league, would be Colston coming back from injury. It would give me the slightest fighting chance.

I finished dead last in my Tom Cruise league. This league is full of people who could care less about fantasy football, and I suck in it every year. It's the first league I was ever in, and with all my friends from high school. I made the playoffs the first year, and than the last 4 years I have finished in the bottom 5. I just can't get that league.

I dominated some yahoo pool with Matt. My buddy and I are tied for the #1 spot, 3 games ahead of third place.

And I am 1 spot out of a playoff in another pool with Matt. But that one still has one more week of regular season left, so with a loss by Jim, and a win from me next week, i'm in.


This is going to be a great day.
