Season Wrap-Up
Wednesday, December 21, 2011
Semi Final Recap
The Semi Finals featured two blowouts. Which leaves Chcoloate Starfish vs. The Blackhole Black. There are a couple of interesting aspects with this matchup. The first is that we added these two teams this year to make things more competitive, and what do you know they both end up in the Championship. Job done. The second is the fact that Chocolate Starfish started 0-4! His team peaked at the right time and he finds himself in it at the end.
Good Luck to you both. For the first time someone in VA will win the money. I will be sending a check out to my parents and will trust them to distribute the money properly.

Playoffs Round 1 Recap
So we all went to bed on Sunday night knowing that Chocolate Starfish would play The Burg YUH8ME and #imserious ThisYear would play Ya Mom's House #Boom. And then we woke up. Turns out ESPN failed to give Arian Foster a fumble throughout the entire day during Sunday's games, therefore, it appeared as if #imserious ThisYear had beat The Blackhole Black by the slim margin of 118.7 to 118.6. After attributing the fumble he lost 118.6 to 116.7. #imserious ThisYear really could have used a couple points from Plax...
Below are next weeks matchups. The Burg YUH8ME has been talking alot of smack and has already assumed he has a spot in the Championship. Starfish imma need you to handle that.

Regular Season Finale
It came all the way down to the last week to decide seeding. I am sorry for any confusion I may have caused heading into last week. Also I learned that total points are not the primary tie breaker, ESPN has an inherent tie breaker of division winner which is why I'm the #2 and The Blackhole Black is #3. But here we have it:
1. The Burg YUH8ME
(BYE)
5. Chocolate Starfish
4. My Vick in a Box

C’mon Man:
Anyone who didn't make the playoffs. We can all point to bad roster moves here and there that cost us wins. Gotta get these right.
Back Pats:
The Burg YUH8ME - You ended the season on a 7 game winning streak and took over the points lead on the last weekend. Congrats you're number 1 in all categories now. lol.
Bold Predictions:
None. Every game counts now.

Week 8 Recap
Well what can I say? My matchup was over early. Chocolate Starfish whooped my ass. I always knew week 8 would be a problem and it was. Congrats to Chocolate Starfish, he's now on a 4 game winning streak and has jumped all the way to number 2 on the power rankings. Sauce'n Ain't Easy beat VA Bum Smashers with a RB and a K not in the lineup... more on this later. As Philly piled on the points and rushing yardage against Dallas Child Please' chances got slimmer, and in the end My Vick in a Box came away with the victory. The Burg YUH8ME beat #imserious ThisYear, but it started to get interesting with Malcom Floyd having an above average game on Monday night. In the last matchup The Blackhole Black beat Team Falese, nothing really interesting here.
For those of you keeping track I went 0-5 in my predictions this week... That makes me 20-15 on the season.
Sidenote: There were no trades this year! That might be a first.
C’mon Man:
VA Bum Smashers - Sauce'n Ain't Easy beat you without a Running Back and a Kicker. Your team needs some help playa.
#imserious ThisYear - There once was a Newton that had a major impact on this world. Maybe it's time you take a lesson from history.
Team Falese - You could have played Reggie Bush and only lost by 0.9 points. LOL.
Back Pats:
Chocolate Starfish - Buffalo's D? Really? I still can't believe it. Good job on the winning streak.
The Burg YUH8ME - Since you wanted to rub it in my face, yes you called me losing this week. Thanks for the jinx.
Bold Predictions:
I should really start waiting until after waivers clear to make these picks but oh well. I will rebound and beat My Vick in a Box this week.Sauce'n Ain't Easy should continue the trend of beating up on Team Falese. I'm going with Child Please over The Blackhole Black, sorry mom I know it's your birthday weekend and all. The Packers are back and that means I'm picking The Burg YUH8ME over VA Bum Smashers. Last but not least, I'm picking Chocolate Starfish over #imserious ThisYear because he's on a roll.

Week 6 Recap
I whooped #imserious ThisYear, nothing really to say there. Team Falese got back in it with a win over Sauce'n Ain't Easy, thanks a ton to Ahmad Bradshaw. My Vick in a Box held off The Blackhole Black, I can't lie I was rooting for Wes Welker to catch the game winning TD. Ha Ha. Child Please beat VA Bum Smashers in what turned out to be a laugher. Guess Trev has his priorities in line going with the potential jinx of the Redskins against his grounded Eagles and it worked out. We got terrible Rex (-2.7) with a new record low fantasy QB performance. And finally we have Chocolate Starfish getting on a roll with his win over The Burg YUH8ME. He is now securely in the playoff picture. I went 3-2 this week in my predictions and I am now 15-10 on the season.
C’mon Man:
There weren't very many bad moves this week but a couple teams standout.
VA Bum Smashers - I get it your real life team sucks, Your fantasy team isn't doing much better. Personal pride vs. a Monetary Prize...
The Blackhole Black - When is Darren Sproles a better option than Rashard Mendenhall? NEVER! Not to mention Jacoby Ford and Devin Hester having good games on your bench.
Back Pats:
Team Falese - Thanks for putting out a competitive lineup.
Chocolate Starfish - He's heating up y'all!
Bold Predictions:
For the family members, this is a rematch of week 1 matchups! For you other people, this is just another fantasy week.
Ya Mom's House #boom (Just because...), The Burg YUH8ME (because the Patriots are on a bye), #imserious ThisYear (no explanation, maybe I'll give him some much needed JuJu), Chocolate Starfish (because the Cowboys are playing the Rams), and Sauce'n Ain't Easy (I got a good feeling about Sanchez and Tomlinson, first game against San Diego since leaving, I'm just sayin)

Week 5 Recap
Another week, another W... Leggo!
And for the third week in a row my game came down to the wire, in fact it came down to the very last drive in the Monday night game. Good thing Cutler was tired of getting pounded. However, my game was not the only one that was dependent on the Monday night game. The matchup between The Blackhole Black and Child Please and the matchup between Chocolate Starfish and VA Bum Smashers did as well. Thanks to a big run by Best late in the game The Blackhole Black held off Child Please by .7 points! Wow! And thanks to a subpar Bears defensive performance Chocolate Starfish held off VA Bum Smashers to get his first W! I know how you feel man, took me until week 8 last year to get my first win. My Vick in a Box smashes Team Falese, the new Team Mauldin (y'all remember her?), who once again bared the burden of bad luck with her team, and The Burg YUH8ME beat #imserious ThisYear who proves to not be that serious after all. I went 3-2 with my predictions this week and that makes me 12-8 on the season.
C’mon Man:
Last week we asked the people if they would have sat Arian Foster. This week lets ask the people this, If you have a team with WRs who are struggling and you just so happen to pick up a good one in Free Agency would you sit that guy on the bench? No? An even better question, How many people not from Minnesota or Colorado have ever heard of Eric Decker? No one? Yeah that's what I thought. Child Please you lost the game because you left 29.5 points on your bench by not play Pierre Garcon and instead you got -0.4 points for being a homer. That's a big fat C'MON MAAAANNN!!! And not to mention Willis McGahee's 19.5 you also left on the bench.
Team Falese I'm putting you on here just because for the second week in a row your QB got negative points. I think this is a first in the history of fantasy sports. You should be proud. Also you've managed to go from top 5 power rankings to last place...
Back Pats:
Chocolate Starfish - You got that gorilla off your back. Nice job getting your first win.
Ya Mom's House #Boom - BGE had a big day and is the reason I won my matchup.
The Burg YUH8ME - Victor Cruz turned out to be a good pick up. Without him you lose your matchup.
The Blackhole Black - Jahvid Best. If the bears could have stopped him 8 yards short on any of his big runs Monday night you don't win your matchup. Nice performance.
My Vick in a Box - Your team is scoring alot of points every week.
Bold Predictions:
Ya Mom's House #Boom, Suace'n Ain't Easy, The Blackhole Black, Child Please, Chocolate Starfish

Fantasy Football Week 4 Recap

Week 3 Recap
And then there were two, and... then there's that one. Here we go.
I was shaking in my boots late in the afternoon on sunday as I trailed Team Falese by a narrow margin with time running out in all of the afternoon games, and then Greg Jennings got the bonus. Thanks Greg Ya Mom's House #Boom is still undefeated. The other undefeated team is My Vick in a Box with a modest win over Sauce'n Ain't Easy (149 - 73). Moving on, Chocolate Starfish, that one completely defeated team, lost in a blow out to The Blackhole Black. Keep your head up buddy maybe this week is your week. <checks matchups> Um... nevermind. Haha. #imserious ThisYear and Child Please both got their first wins of the season last week. Let's all give them a round of applause, and thanks to the matchup gods one of them will get back to losing as they play each other this week. So that rounds up last weeks matchups, and for those of you keeping track of my predictions I went 3-2 this week, 5-5 on the season (I didn't make any predictions week 1).
C’mon Man:
Team Falese - I may have jinxed Kenny Britt, he's done for the season. Also Eagles D, yeah not the dream team.
Ya Mom's House #Boom - I should have pulled the trigger on sitting Santonio Holmes for Denarius Moore.
VA Bum Smashers - Where do I start... CJ2K, is he gonna show up sometime soon? Peyton Hillis had strep throat and didn't play, do you not watch pregame shows? Only two players on your roster scored more than 10 points, and not very much more.
#imserious ThisYear - If you would have asked for my advice I would have told you that the Raiders were going to shred the Jets D.
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Guess some of this is my fault but LT had a day in Oakland. Lesson learned, don't let me make your decisions.
My Vick in a Box - Last week Deion Branch was a good thing, this week he got 0. Maybe David Nelson will be a good pickup.
Chocolate Starfish - Are you a Dalas fan? Starting Tony Homo with broken ribs against a division rival without his best playmaker on the field, not a good idea.
The Burg YUH8ME - I know you keep wishing Steven Jackson will be a good fantasy football acquisition.
Child Please - Megatron gets every throw. Time to bench Nate Burleson.
Back Pats:
#imserious ThisYear - got a win and finally played Dustin Keller.
My Vick in a Box - So far you've got the top 2 RBs and The Best WR. This might be a problem.
Chocolate Starfish - Jimmy Graham is killin it.
The Blackhole Black - Tom Brady to Wes Welker, what else is there to say?
The Burg YUH8ME - Jermichael Finley is heating up.
Bold Prediction:
This weeks winners - Ya Mom's House #Boom, VA Bum Smashers, ***UPSET ALERT*** The Burg YUH8ME, Child Please, The Blackhole Black

A good article about always being a nice person over at Lifehacker. Basically it says you should not turn the other cheek (turn the same cheek), and you should not treat others as you wish to be treated (treat others how they treat you).

Week 2 Recap
Wednesday, September 14, 2011
Week 1 Recap
Week 1 is in the books. We are back to football and it sure didn't disappoint. Congrats to Sauce'n Ain't Easy for being a huge underdog and pulling out a W. Also Congrats to The Blackhole Black for making up 70 points with 2 players. However, it didn't help you win the game. Its lining up to be a great season. Mathew Stafford is healthy, Ray Rice and Darren McFadden picked up where they left off, the Falcons looks overrated, the Bears look underrated, Tom Brady looks unstoppable, the Colts need Peyton Manning, and the Steelers D looks old.
P.S. - I finally won a fantasy season opener! I guess me and the Raiders have something in common.
#BOOM
Bold Prediction:
This weeks winners - Ya Mom's House #Boom, Sauce'n Ain't Easy, The Blackhole Black, Chocolate Starfish, Child Please.
#BOOM
C’mon Man:
VA Bum Smashers - Sitting Cedric Benson (23.3 points), the Bengals have no one else. Also playing DBowe/Owen Daniels, they never show up for fantasy.
The Blackhole Black - For having no team outside of Tom Brady and Wes Weller.
#imserious ThisYear - Bernard Berrian got 0. Nuff said.
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Apparently Vinatieri ain't playing. Also maybe unpredictable, but Steve Smith balled.
Child Please - Right now you are living and dying with the Falcons.
Back Pats:
VA Bum Smashers - Bears defense might be onto something.
The Blackhole Black - Tom Brady to Wes Weller almost got it done.
The Burg YUH8ME - Tim Hightower may have been a steal.
#imserious ThisYear - Cam Newton might be good.
Team Falese - I'm sure this is a fluke but Kenny Britt, wow!

Fantasy Football
It's finally here! Teams have been selected, schedules have been set and smack has been talked. This year we open the season with our tradition of sibling on sibling rivalry with the brothers Parry and the brothers Ralston playing each other and we add an additional family rivalry with husband against wife. We all know competition within families is the most passionate and the most discussed and I wish I could be in VA to see what Momma Parry says to Poppa Parry after she whoops his ass! Hahaaa! These summaries will feature the usual suspects of our weekly c’mon man (terrible GM moves), pats on the back (good GM moves), and my random thoughts and predictions for the year (I’m not very good so if I pick you for something like winning it all don’t expect it to happen, see Child Please year 1 and #imserious ThisYear year 2.) New this year will be power rankings. Fantasy sports is about how many points you score so these rankings will be exclusively based on how many points you score regardless of your record. We all know this is not an indicator that you will win the league but it does mean you have the best team (See my team last year). Also I will keep track of the playoff picture all season long. The last 2 things should help everyone see exactly where they stand without having to go dig for the information on your own. I will take this time to remind everyone that money is due October 1st (Mom, Dad, Trev and Jeremiah I will be withholding your money from my monthly check I send to dad so you guys work out how you will be getting dad the cash). I would like to wish you all good luck this season and let the games and trash talk commence! #BOOM!
Bold Prediction: I will make the playoffs this year! #BOOM
C’mon Man: As far as I know Randy Moss is not on a roster right now. Yuh8me, C’MON MAN!!!
Back Pats: None yet
Power Rankings (this first week is based on best possible starting lineup projections, following weeks will be based on actual points scored):

WTF Does That Mean...
So a friend of mine posted some philosophy on facebook this morning - The mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders ~ credit to some Chinese dude (Lao Tsu). This got me thinking, what the f@#$ does this sh*# mean? So, I took to the internet to look up some more Chinese philosophy and I found these:
And remember, no matter where you go, there you are. ~Confucius (Ok, this one is more of a why does anyone need someone to tell them this? I know where the f@#$ I went)
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. ~Confucius (Rickey Bobby said "If you're not first you're last". Who's right?)
Never give a sword to a man who can't dance. ~Confucius (WTF?)
If the king loves music, there is little wrong in the land. ~Mencius (Obama loves hip hop! Where's our world peace? Actually, where's our national peace?)
Truth uttered before its time is always dangerous. ~Mencius (Hey y'all lie until your blue in the face!)
Mencius said that human nature is good. I disagree with that. ~Xun Zi (Obama said Kansas would win the NCAA tournament last year, I disagreed, turns out we were both wrong.)
Truth is these were subjectively selected. These guys also said some things that made a lot of sense. I talk a lot, and most of the time its bullshit, but every once in a while something ingenious comes roaring out of my mouth. Does that make me a philosopher?
Here's some philosophy for your ass: Money, Cash, Hoes. ~HOVA (ladies replace hoes with whatever derogatory word y'all use to describe men.)
Holla!!!
p.s. ~ I guess since I don't understand these that's a stump... Somebody dig these old dudes up so I can buy them some Wendy's.
