Week 2 Recap

No Pryors vas. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 87 to 84.6. I lost this one trying to experiment with marginal players against good match ups. Bad move… Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe and Sam Bradford should have never left my starting lineup…

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. TP CharlieSheening - TP CharlieSheening won 169.2 to 129.4. TP CharlieSheening is off to a blazing fast start. Aaron Rodgers and Those receivers are killing it. 

Coples Therapy vs. Child Please - Coples Therapy won 152.7 to 81.3. After a big game last week scoring the most points, Child Please comes back down to the pack scoring the least amount of points this week. Still early but Coples Therapy is the strongest team in his division.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Chocolate Starfish - The trap birdsinthekitch won 115.5 to 104.1. Seahawks D scores over 20 against the 49ers. Look out!

The Blackhole Black vs. The Burg YUH8ME - The Blackhole Black won 111.4 to 86.3. After nearly coming back to beat Child Please from down 60 last week The Burg YUH8ME shows his true colors. 2 man show. Better find some help.

BackPats:
TP CharlieSheening - Aaron Rodgers (47.9), Desean Jackson (30.3), and Julio Jones (29.2). Basically won his matchup with 4 guys.

Coples Therapy - Jimmy Graham (28.9), Randall Cobb (24.2), and Brandon Marshall (22.3).

These two have some amazing receiving units.

C'MonMan:
No Pryors - I'm done experimenting.

Child Please - First to worst (score for the week)

The Burg YUH8ME - You need more than McCoy and Vick.

BoldPredictions:
I went 3-2 this week which makes me 6-4 on the season.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. No Pryors - Its a little early for this but lets try the reverse jinx. The trap birdsinthekitch wins.

Child Please vs. Sauce'n Aint Easy - Marshawn Lynch could go nuts against Jacksonville, but Child Please still wins.

Chocolate Starfish vs. TP CharlieSheening - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Those receivers all have tough match ups this week. Chocolate Starfish wins.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Lots of red letters beside The Burg YUH8ME's players. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. Coples Therapy - This is for outright control of the Pimps division. The Blackhole Black has a key injury, a bad trade, and a struggling QB. Coples Therapy wins.

Week 1 Recap

Coples Therapy vs. No Pryors - Coples Therapy won 103.9 to 101.9. Coples Therapy's wide receivers lead him to victory this week. Meanwhile, my running backs have fumbling problems (Alfred Morris, Stevan Ridley, and David Wilson).

TP CharlieSheening vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - TP CharlieSheening won 142 to 95.3. TP CharlieSheening just had a great weekend. His bench would have won this game with only 6 players. Look out!

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black won 106.6 to 94.9. Red Hot Julius Peppers got off to a fast start on Thursday night but his wide receivers let him down on Sunday. I'm still not sold on The Blackhole Black. She started a player that put up 0 and had it not been for Victor Cruz scoring 3 TDs she probably would have lost.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 136 to 115. Peyton Manning's Thursday night performance pretty much sealed this win for Chocolate Starfish, but Sauce'n Ain't Easy had some good performers on Sunday and Monday. 

Child Please vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Child Please won 155.5 to 151. Child Please ended Sunday with a comfortable 64 point lead only to nervously watch Michael Vick and Lesean McCoy slash it down to 4. 

Three teams scored over 140 while the rest of us hovered around 100. Some of us have some work to do.

BackPats:
Chocolate Startfish: Peyton Manning - 65.3 points on Thursday night. The most points scored in our league by a single player beating Mike Vick who broke my back with 62 in 2010.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy: Colin Kaepernick - 400 yards and 3 TDs (41.7 points)

The Blackhole Black: Victor Cruz - 100 Yards and 3 TDs (34.8 Points)

Child Please: AJ Green and Demaryius Thomas (33 points each)

The Burg YUH8ME: Lesean McCoy and Reggie Bush (30 points each)

C'MonMan:
Red Hot Julius Peppers left Jared Cook and his 29.1 points on the bench which could have helped him to a victory.

No Pryors... Fumbling, bumbling, stumbling and did I mention fumbling? Fumbles by both Stevan Ridley and Alfred Morris cost me at least a tie and not to mention leaving Jordan Cameron on the bench with 21.8 points. 

BoldPredictions:
Last week I went 3-2 in my picks. Decent start. 

No Pryors vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - 49ers play the Seahawks and I'm expecting a defensive showdown. That means not Kaepernicking and no beast mode. No Pryors wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. TP CharlieSheening - This one could be close but I'm going with TP CharlieSheening.

Coples Therapy vs. Child Please - Child Please's lack of a #2 RB and Coples Therapy's WR strength carry him to victory. Coples Therapy wins.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish has some bad matchups this week. The trap birdsinthekitch wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Kinda early to have this same household rivalry but the Eagles play the Chargers who showed no backbone on defense. The Burg YUH8ME wins.

After doing this write up I believe Red Hot Julius Peppers will be crowned the champ this season.

This Week:
Coples Therapy vs. No Pryors - No Pryors wins, for obvious reasons.

TP CharlieSheenig vs The trap birdsinthekitch - This game is a toss up. Both teams have tough matchups, but until birdsinthekitch shows he knows how to manange a team I can’t pick him. TP CharlieSheening wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Blackhole Black - Despite relying on a bunch of Broncos, I believe Red Hot Julius Peppers wins this matchup.

Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish - Starfish has got better matchups across the board. Starfish wins.

Child Please vs. The Burg YUH8ME - This game has the largest point spread of week 1. Child Please will win.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:
TP CharlieSheening vs. Child Please - Child Please won 125.2 to 119. The game came all the way down to the last drive in the Giants game and TP came up a little bit short. Congrats to Child Please!

Child Please - The Champ for now.

Playoffs Round 2 Recap

Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Child Please - Child Please won 154.8 to 103.7. Everyone in Child Please’ lineup balled out except for Jeremy Maclin. It was too much for Sauce’n Ain’t Easy.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. TP CharlieSheening - TP CharlieSheening won 132.6 to 72.8. Red Hot Julius Peppers had terrible performances from both of the QBs on his roster and his defense got him -4 points while TP CharlieSheening got great performances from his defense and a couple RBs.

The Championship is set. Child Please the #1 seed vs. TP CharlieSheening the #2 seed. This is the first time ever that the #2 seed has made it to the championship and only the second time the #1 seed has made it to the championship, Child Please formerly known as Air Miguel in 2009, and he lost. Should be a great matchup.

Also to fuel my anger at The Burg YUH8ME had he handled his business to end the season I would have beat TP CharlieSheening this week to put myself in the championship.

[b]Back Pats:[/b]
TP CharlieSheening and Child Please - Y’all been consistent throughout the year. Good luck!

[b]Bold Prediction:[/b]
I was 1-1 this week. 2-2 for the playoffs

For this week:
The Championship - TP CharlieSheening vs. Child Please. I’m gonna pick the upset and say TP CharlieSheening will win.

Playoffs Round 1 Recap

Child Please (10 points) - Bye

TP CharlieSheening (130.4) - Bye

Catcha Fade vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy - Sauce’n Ain’t Easy won 134.6 to 91.8. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy won this game with 3 monster performances: Marshawn Lynch (35.8), Jamaal Charles (27.5), and Mike Wallace (28.2). Way to bounce back.

Team birdsinthekitch vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 121.3 to 84.1. As was the story the whole season Team birdsinthekitch just doesn’t have enough playmakers and failed to score more than 90 points.

For what its worth, nothing, had I made the playoffs Red Hot Julius Peppers would have been sent packing. I’ll continue to monitor my results from here on out to add insult to injury and to increase my own self pity.

Back Pats:
Sauce’n Ain’t Easy limped into the playoffs and got a W.

C’mon Man:
Team birdsinthekitch better do some re-evaluating and come back strong next season.

Bold Prediction:
I was 1-1 this week.

For this week:
(Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Child Please) Child Please should advance.

(Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. TP CharlieSheening) Red Hot Julius Peppers should advance.

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.
