Regular Season Recap

The Blackhole Black vs. Rosie Palmers - Rosie Palmers won 84.3 to 79.5. I did everything I could to get into the playoffs, but ultimately that 6 game losing streak was the death of me.

TP CharlieSheening vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 126.8 to 94.2. TP CharlieSheening finished the regular season on a 2 game losing streak. Luckily he sealed up that bye week. Also, it should be noted that Red Hot Julius Peppers actually finished the regular season in 2nd place overall with this win.

Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 141.6 to 108.4. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy finished the regular season on a 3 game losing streak. Better turn that ship around fast. As for Chocolate Starfish, I’m sure this game is how he thought the whole season would go: Cam and Romo both over 30, RBs over double digits, Wes and Dez over 20 and Witten in double digits.

Team birdsinthekitch vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Team birdsinthekitch won 83.3 to 76.5. I rooted as hard as I could for YUH8ME. It got close near the end of the Monday night game, but his constant struggle to pick the right QB bit him once again. Matt Ryan scored 12.4 on Thursday while RG3 scored 19.7 on Monday night. That would have been good enough for the win. YUH8ME, YOU DAMN RIGHT...

Child Please vs. Catcha Fade - Child Please won 119.7 to 96.6. This game was meaningless for both parties. Catcha Fade could have moved up to 4th seed but would not have changed his matchups going forward. However, it ends his impressive 5 game winning streak.

And there you have it folks. The regular season has concluded and the playoffs are now set.

Back Pats:
Team birdsinthekitch - Thank the football gods, and TP Charliesheening for starting the Eagles D in week 10, but you got the last spot. Congrats.

C’mon Man:
Rosie Palmers - This is a collapse of historic proportions. I broke the league scoring record of 1524.5 points with 1565.9 points and I outscored my opponents by 10.38 points per game. Only once before has the #1 team in the power ranks not made the playoffs (me again in 2010) and never has a team with a positive scoring differential missed the playoffs. Another first, the team with the #1 overall fantasy player, at the time of this writing is Tom Brady, has never missed the playoffs. And lastly, 7 of my 9 core players are in the top 10 at their position, could argue 8 had Percy not gotten injured. How I ruined this season I will never know, actually that’s not true thanks Reggie Bush! Thanks to flirting with his “potential” in 2 matchups, week 5 loss to Sauce’n Ain’t Easy and week 8 loss to Chocolate Starfish, I went from the #2 spot and a bye to not being in at all... Back to the drawing board.

Bold Prediction:
I went 3-2 this week. I’m 33-27 on the season.
I predict a Championship matchup between Child Please and Red Hot Julius Peppers, we’ve been here before, with Child Please winning.

For this week:
(Catcha Fade vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy) Catcha Fade is hot and Sauce’n Ain’t Easy needs to plug some holes. Catcha Fade wins.

(Team birdsinthekitch vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers) Red Hot Julius Peppers wins no more explanation necessary.
