fyi, in all 3 of my championship games, i'm starting Matt Leinart. ridiculous, i know. (1 league has Hasselbeck and Alex Smith as options...another has Grossman...3rd has only Trent Green) But I've made my call and I'll live with it!
I was sweatin' it out today waiting to see if Coles would beat me. Needless to say, I won my league championship in spite of this starting lineup (none of them had a real big week): Romo LT Gore CJ L Fitz Witten Kaeding Chargers D My bench actually had a better overall score: Kitna Maroney Jones-Drew Berrian Javon Walker B Watson S Graham Rams D 800$ payout for first - woohoo!
Well, I won all 3 of my championship games. Huge outputs...Steven Jackson in 2 leagues, Dayne in 2 leagues, picked up Curry and started him in 2 leagues, Betts, J. Walker, Driver, McGahee, V. Davis (and Merriman/Hope/Pacman/Tatupu in my IDP league) 3 champs out of 6 leagues!
I just beat the team with LT this week in the semi-finals... because he was human for a change, and because I started Bulger. Going for my third straight year with the Trophy in this league, too... btw.
I was up by 6.7 points going into Monday Night Football, my opponent had Chris Chambers and Laverneous Coles. I got on a plane from Houston to NYC and figured I was toast. How Coles and Chambers managed to only get 2.5 points between them must have been a belated xmas present for me from the FFL gods.
I took out the LT team in the 1 fantasy league I'm still alive in. I completely demolished them 206.87 to 169.46. I even made the mistake of benching McNair for Cutler. That move cost me several points. This league is a really strange league. 20 teams only 3 bench slots and IDP. I sacrificed a couple wins earlier in the season to amass waiver wire talent and the results are paying off. QB McNair (waiver wire) WR Driver WR Evans (waiver wire) WR Colston RB Rudi Johnson RB Arlen Harris (waiver wire) Lost Kevin Jones 2 weeks ago TE Chris Cooley (waiver wire) K Graham (waiver wire) D Vilma D Bulluck DB Sean Taylor DB Kenoy Kennedy (waiver wire) DB Sammy Knight DL DeMeco Ryans DL Kawika Mitchell DL Leon Williams (waiver wire) Andra Davis injury I easily have the best team in the league and barring a miracle I will win this league. Btw, we've been doing this league every year since about 1999.
i would just like to take this opportunity to GLOAT. yea, i was last in my draft. but thanks to a couple of miracles, I'M IN THE FINALS BABY!
I just won my superbowl with LT, but personally I think I would have won if my team didn't have him. I was the highest scoring team in my league but also one of the highest scored against, so I barely got the 2nd seed in my league (while the 1st seed had the least scored against). I ended up with an 8-5 record and only needed LT to win a couple of those games. Basically, most of my losses were close, and most of my wins were blowouts. My Final Team QB start 1: Carson Palmer, Vince Young RB start 2: LT, Jones-Drew, Deuce McAllister, McGahee WR start 3: DJax, Donald Driver, Roy Williams, Larry Fitz, Hines Ward, Reggie Brown TE start 1: Alge Crumpler K start 1: Kaeding D/ST start 1: KC for last week, but played matchups with WW throughout the season
