2013 Final Recap

The Championship:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. The Blackhole Black - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 104.06 to 91.06 to win his first League Championship. The Blackhole Black pretty much blew this victory simply by going with Dennis Johnson over Donald Brown or even Joique Bell. She also could have won had she played Roddy White over Dwayne Bowe.

Back Pats:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - You get bragging rights for the year.

C'Mon Man:
The Blackhole Black - Read above.

Bold Predictions:
I went 0-1 this week making me 4-1 for the playoffs.

Semi Final Recap

Record points were scored... in a matchup that didn't matter. Here we go!

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. TP CharlieSheening - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 123.2 to 110.6. This matchup came down to Ryan Mathews balling out on Thursday night and Antonio Brown having a big game Sunday night. It didn't help that TP CharlieSheening started Stevie Johnson who got 0.4 points.

Child Please vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black won 138.2 to 112.1. The Blackhole Black got solid to great performances by every player she started. Meanwhile, Child Please scrambled to find points lost by Adrian Peterson being out and failed to do so. The Blackhole Black has completed the turn around being worst last season to making the final this season.

Back Pats:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy and The Blackhole Black advancing to the final.

C'Mon Man:
No real C'Mon Man this week. I think both teams that lost just got beat rather than made mistakes, but TP CharlieSheening did start Stevie Johnson for 0.4.... 

Bold Predictions:
I went 2-0 this week making me 4-0 for the playoffs.

The Final:
The Blackhole Black vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - This one should be a close one. Both teams have favorable matchups at a RB position and all WR posistions. Who's WRs can out score the other? I say The Blackhole Black pulls the worst to first and wins the final. Good luck!

Playoffs First Round Recap

Upset city!

The first round of the playoffs kicked off with a bang and 2 upsets.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 131.1 to 114.4. Chocolate Starfish has leaned on Peyton Manning all year and this week was no exception. However, Sauce'n Ain't Easy was able to nullify Peyton's 44.8 points with each of his receivers scoring at least 20 points.

Child Please vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - Child Please won 99.8 to 77.8. Both of these owners had poor decisions made prior to the start of the games. Child Please chose the Raiders D/ST (-4) over the Ravens (7) and opted for Eli Manning (12.4) over Andrew Luck (45.2). The trap birdsinthekitch chose Kendall Wright (1.7) over Julian Eddleman (14.7), a kicker in a bizzard (David Akers 0 points), and Matthew Stafford in a blizzard (5.8) over Drew Brees at home in a climate controlled dome (41.8). The trap birdsinthekitch had the more obvious choices in who to play due to the fact that 2 of his starters had 8 inches of snow to traverse. That's how you lose in the playoffs.....

Back Pats:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy and Child Please - got W's

C'Mon Man:
The trap birdsinthekitch - playing in the snow is way better for scoring than playing in a dome, everyone knows that... 

Bold Predictions:
I was 33-27 for the regular season. (4-5 on UPSET SPECIALS)
I went 2-0 this week (2-0 on UPSET SPECIALS)

TP CharlieSheening vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Sauce'n Ain't Easy has some excellent matchups this week. Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch against the Giants, Ryan Mathews against the Broncos, Andre Johnson against the Colts, Eric Decker is on fire, and the 49ers D/ST against the Buccaneers. TP CharlieSheening has struggled recently since the loss of Aaron Rodgers, and this week it all comes crashing down.

The Blackhole Black vs. Child Plese - This one is going to be tough. I think if Adrian Peterson is not able to play its more open and shut, but The Blackhole Black is also going to take a hit due to injury. Not only is she going to miss the production of Rob Gronkowski, but Tom Brady is also going to struggle (See 15 points per game without Gronk). I think Matt Forte vs. the Browns, Josh Gordon vs. the Bears, and the Panthers D/ST vs. Geno Smith on the road will lead The Blackhole Black to victory.

Week 13 Recap

The playoffs are set... Here we go:

In the fight for the 6th and final playoff spot Child Please emerged victorious with a win and a No Pryors loss. (He would have made even if No Pryors had won).

In the battle at the top for the number 1 seed TP CharlieSheening held off No Pryors by .1 points to clinched the number 1 seed.

The top of the draft order has been set. The losers bracket has no bearing on that so continue to set your lineup and play for some pride.

Back Pats:
The Playoff teams: TP CharlieSheening, The Blackhole Black, The trap birdsinthekitch, Chocolate Starfish, Sauce'n Ain't Easy, and Child Please

C'Mon Man:
Gotta put Sauce'n Ain't easy in here for sitting Eric Decker. Could have moved you up a spot.

The Losers: No Pryors, Red Hot Julius Peppers, Coples Therapy and The Burg YUH8ME

Bold Predictions:
I went 2-3 this week which makes me 33-27 for the regular season. (4-5 on UPSET SPECIALS)

Playoffs:
TP CharlieSheening (Bye)
The Blackhole Black (Bye)

#4 Chocolate Starfish vs. #5 Sauce'n Ain't Easy - *** UPSET SPECIAL*** This one is going to be close. Chocolate Starfish has favorable matchups with MJD and Jordy Nelson while Peyton Manning is always the x-factor. Sauce'n Ain't Easy has favorable matchups with Rueben Randle and Andre Johnson. Not a good matchup for 2 of his key contributors in Russel Wilson and Marshawn Lynch playing at San Fransico. However, I think he has some other guys step up big. Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

#3 The trap birdsinthekitch vs. #6 Child Please - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** This one is also going to be close. The trap birdsinthekitc has favorable matchups with Mathew Stafford, Eddie Lacy, Le'Veon Bell and Monte Ball (if Rashad Jennings can't play, who has a bad matchup at the Jets). Meanwhile Child Please has favorable matchups with Matt Ryan, DeMarco Murray, and A.J. Green add those to Adrian Peterson who is always a threat regardless of matchup and the Raiders D as a wild card against the struggling Jets offense. Child Please wins.

Week 12 Recap

It all comes down to the last week...

Gonna do this a little different this week.

The Blackhole Black clinched the division in a Monday night thriller winning her matchup by 1 point. She can finish no worse than #2.

TP CharlieSheening knocked off Chocolate Starfish opening the door for the division and the #1 seed to himself, Chocolate Starfish, and The trap birdsinthekitch. (The Blackhole Black is also in play for the #1 seed)

Sauce'n Ain't Easy sealed his playoff spot up this week with a win over The Burg YUH8ME.

No Pryors and Child Please both lost leaving a 3 way race for the last playoff spot.

Coples Therapy lossed and joins The Burg YUH8ME in the losers cirlce.

Back Pats:
The Blackhole Black - Clinched the division and has a chance to take the #1 seed.

C'Mon Man:
No Pryors - Made a late week adjustment to go with Eli Manning over Phillip Rivers and now once again it comes down to the last week of the season with me on the outside begging to get in...

Bold Predictions:
I went 2-3 this week which makes me 31-24 on the year. (4-5 on UPSET SPECIALS)

No Pryors vs. TP CharlieSheening - I'm praying. No Pryors wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. Chocolate Starfish - The #1 seed is potentially at stake. Peyton Manning at Kansas City. The Blackhole Black wins.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - The #1 seed is also at stake in this matchup. The trap birdsinthekitch wins.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Coples Therapy - These 2 will be playing each other a bunch in the next 3 weeks. Lol. Coples Therapy wins this one.

Child Please vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Head tells me Child Please wins. Heart hopes Red Hot Julius Peppers wins. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

Potential Playoff teams remaining schedules:
No Pryors - TP CharlieSheening
Child Please - Red Hot Julius Peppers
Red Hot Julius Peppers - Child Please

Playoff Scenarios (in play this week):
No Pryors - Win and outscore the winner of Child Please (14.4) vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers (-42.2).

Week 11 Recap

The #1 seed is within reach... Here we go:

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. No Pryors - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 132.5 to 89.5. I left a few points on the bench, but it wouldn't have mattered. Antonio Brown, 31.6 points, was an absolute stud this week. Sauce'n Ain't Easy is now in the drivers seat of the 5th seed.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 101 to 93. Megatron and Carson Palmer were studs this week, combining for 68 points, the rest of his guys were just average at best but it was enough to get the win. The Burg YUH8ME is officially eliminated from playoff contention. Red Hot Julius Peppers still has an outside chance.

Coples Therapy vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black won 133.8 to 89.3. The Blackhole Black had strong performances all around while Coples Therapy got 44 from Big Ben and the only other player to get double digits was his kicker. Coples Therapy is now hanging on by a thread to a playoff opportunity.

Child Please vs. TP CharlieSheening - TP CharlieSheening won 70.1 to 96.3. TP CharlieSheening got solid performances from Chris Johnson and the Bills defense, but the difference here was the amount of points Child Please left on his bench (Bobby Rainey 39.7).

Chocolate Starfish vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The trap birdsinthekitch won 113.8 to 111.4. The trap birdsinthekitch has now beat the powerhouse that is Chocolate Starfish twice this season. This one got relatively close at the end with Greg Olsen pulling a couple late catches but he came up a little bit short.

Back Pats:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Antonio Brown was a stud this week.

The Blackhole Black - Finally putting the right team in.

The trap birdsinthekitch - Beating Chocolate Starfish twice this year. With only 3 losses on his record and 2 coming from The trap thats a big accomplishment.

C'Mon Man:
Child Please - Bobby Rainey's wasted points this week would have given you the win.

Bold Predictions:
The Burg YUH8ME - 2-3 on predictions (1-1 on upset specials)
I went 1-4 this week which makes me 29-21 on the year. (3-4 on UPSET SPECIALS)

No Pryors vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - I have to win. No Pryors wins.

TP CharlieSheening vs. Chocolate Starfish - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** TP CharlieSheening wins and takes over the #1 spot.

Coples Therapy vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - One of these brothers will be eliminated this week. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** The Burg YUH8ME starts to play spoiler and wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. Child Please - This is the most intriguing matchup of the week. Child Please needs 2 wins and 2 losses by The Blackhole Black to win the division. I say it gets interesting. Child Please wins.

Potential Playoff teams remaining schedules:
The Blackhole Black - Child Please, Chocolate Starfish
TP CharlieSheening - Chocolate Starfish, No Pryors

Week 10 Recap

The injury bug strikes again...

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. No Pryors - No Pryors won 104.72 to 54.16. Red Hot Julius Peppers lost Jake Locker and Mike James early in each of their games make this a non competitive matchup.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. TP CharlieSheening - The trap birdsinthekitch won 101.78 to 80.44. The trap birdsinthekitch escapes and embarrassing C'Mon Man appearance sitting Tavon Austin who scored 44.1 points thanks to TP CharlieSheening sitting Andre Brown who scored 22.9 points. Next time you'll listen.

Child Please vs. Coples Therapy - Child Please won 146.22 to 120.76. Both of these guys had big days from their WRs, however, Coples Therapy needs a lot of help at the RB position.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 118.84 to 100.9. Sauce'n Ain't Easy pulled off the upset surviving a 40 point performance from Peyton Manning. Finally he got a pretty well rounded performance from his key guys.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. The Blackhole Black - The Burg YUH8ME won 123.62 to 106.04. The Burg YUH8ME must have spent a cold lonely night on the couch after beating his wife to keep his slim playoff hopes alive.  

Back Pats:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - pulled off the upset against the power that is Chocolate Starfish.

The Burg YUH8ME - staying competive and potentially ruining playoff seeding and spots.

C'Mon Man:
TP CharlieSheening - ask my advice, I said start Andre Brown, didn't listen... lost.

Bold Predictions:
The Burg YUH8ME - 2-3 on predictions (1-1 on upset specials)
I'm 28-17 on the year. (3-4 on UPSET SPECIALS)

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. No Pryors - No Pryors has the matchup advantage at all but 2 positions. No Pryors bursts Sauce'n Ain't Easy's 1 week bubble.

TP CharlieSheening vs. Child Please - This one is gonna be a good one. Child Please will squeak out a win.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Burg YUH8ME - This won could be the stinker of the week. Red Hot Julius Peppers trying to fill holes and The Burg YUH8ME has bad matchups while trying to stay afloat. I think The Burg YUH8ME pulls out the W.

Chocolate Starfish vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The trap birdsinthekitch better pray the Chiefs D is as good as advertised. I don't think so... Chocolate Starfish wins.

Coples Therapy vs. The Blackhole Black - Coples Therapy has to find some contributions from the RB position. The Blackhole Black wins.

It's that time of year again. Playoffs are just around the corner and we have 6 teams all in the hunt for 4 spots as well as a close division race in the Pimps division. 

Potential Playoff teams remaining schedules:
The Blackhole Black - Coples Therapy, Child Please, Chocolate Starfish
TP CharlieSheening - Child Please, Chocolate Starfish, No Pryors
The trap birdsinthekitch - Chocolate Starfish, No Pryors, Sauce'n Ain't Easy
Child Please - TP CharlieSheening, The Blackhole Black, Red Hot Julius Peppers
No Pryors - Sauce'n Ain't Easy, The trap birdsinthekitch, TP CharlieSheening
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - No Pryors, The Burg YUH8ME, The trap birdsinthekitch
Coples Therapy - The Blackhole Black, Red Hot Julius Peppers, The Burg YUH8ME

Coples Therapy has the easiest road with games against Red Hot Julius Peppers and The Burg YUH8ME remaining.

If Red Hot Julius Peppers wins this week he'll also be in play next week. The Burg YUH8ME needs a miracle.
