Re: Week VIII Postgame Analysis
 

Koko's X-Cats (4-3-1) vs. hurricanes (2-6)
The X-Cats continue their drive to the plaoffs after last week's close shave with a soft touch against the canes who outside of a TO-less Donovan McNabb there really isn't much to be scared of except the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

Feisty Klowns (5-3) vs. Rhode Island Voltaic (5-3)
Outside of their amusing spellcheck smacktalk session this is a pretty good matchup. but the Klowns do have an advantage at running back even if Reuben Droughns does noithing because they have Edgerrin James who is primed to beat down New England on Monday night. Warrick Dunn could be scraping for yards in Miami.

Nor Cal Crushers (7-1) vs. sigmakittens (4-4)
The obviously bored Crushers wanted to make things more challening by "seeing how the other half lives" by mismanging their roster by leaving two players unattended who are ona bye including their quarterback. But they do have a three headed monster at running back with Kevin Jones, the much needed but so far underused Brian Westbrook and most importantly LaDanian Thomlinson. If Jake Delhome is bigtime today they could make things very difficult for the Crushers.

The Tacoites (4-4) vs. Pelan's Bobcats (1-7)
Things are looking up for the Bobcats this week as they are actually in this one die to no one being on a bye and being on equal footing with thier opponent. If SHaun Slaexnader and Antonio Gates play big who knows they might actually win! Of course Tom Brady does what he usually does to the Colts it won't matter.

QC Elite (1-7) vs. Stevies Scapegoats (2-5-1)
When your best scoring options are your defense and your kicker things are looking really bad for you. What Fast Willie Parker does may determine if the Scapegoats runaway from the Elite or if the Elite can keep it close enough to pull off the upset.

Jc's Evil Empire (5-3) vs. Dunedain (3-5)
The Evil Empire has done a nice job climbing back into the playoff race with their supposed disatisfaction with the league they could be in trouble this week depending on Micheal Vick and Jamal Lewis to get them over against Dunedain;s Tiki Barber and Drew Brees.

Akshar Did It (4-3-1) vs. vs.FIRSTforce (6-2)
After falling on their face last week FIRST force tries to make up for their failure by basically having more capable players then Akshar has (amazingly Joey Harrington is more capble than Charlie Batch and I think Rudi Johnson can produce more points than reutn man Darren Sproles).

Coco's Monkeys (4-4) vs. Team THRUST (4-4)
On paper this matchup is a dead heat and Eli Manning on the road is a whole different creature from Eli Manning in the Meadowlands but this is the Niners he's playing and thus things look a bit better for Team Thrust than a non-playing Jeff Garcia and that is basically the difference.

Your Ad Here (7-1) vs. Cooney Quest (4-4)
Your Ad Here has alot of hurting players on their roster. But at least their people I know who I know produce regulary. WHo the heck is Mike Sellers ? And who knows what you are going to get from Brett Farve from week to week? The Quest will be lucky to keep it close.

west coast style (3-5) vs. [color=plumIwillCrushYou (3-4-1)[/color]
In spite of Iwillcrushyou's depsing the league they are still doing well and are in good shape here so long as Larry Johnson, Domanick Davis and Clinton Portis produce. Antowain Smith is certainly not going to outproduce those three and without Terrell Ownes I can't see how wst Coast Style will survive really.

Re: Week VIII Postgame Analysis
 

Yeah...unfortunately, I had absolutely no choice but to play with no QB and no Terrence McGee. There was nobody worth picking up at QB, and even if there was I couldn't afford to drop anyone to get them. Same on D. No way I'm dropping the best defensive player.

Re: Week VIII Postgame Analysis
 

Who?
T-Mac?
Geez, us Bills don't think he's that great a d-back. He's aN exciting returner but he gets burned alot.

Re: Week VIII Postgame Analysis
 

fantasy D player :)

His return points and tackles are invaluable. The only other guy to come close is Donnie Edwards.

Re: Week VIII Postgame Analysis
 

I think Bills fans are saying they'd rather have T-Mac long term instead of Nate Clements. They both are valuble in the return game but T-Mac is a pro bowl kick returner and is improving as a cover corner while Clements isn't the shut down corner he likes to think he is and we can have Parrish or Fast Freddy Smith return punts. He'll probably be allowed to walk next season.

Re: 2006 FIRST Fantasy Football
 

Cato June is the best d player haha

Re: 2006 FIRST Fantasy Football
 

Actually it is McGee with 76 points and June is third with 69 points.

Week IX Postgame Analysis
 

Wow… had I done this early, two results would’ve been off. Looks like Yahoo flubbed something up, and didn’t bother to tell us. So I’m feeling extra snarky this week.

Rhode Island Voltaic (5-3) d. Feisty Klowns (5-3)
64-63
In what was the game of the week, the Spellcheck Smacktalk Bowl was a nail biter that ended Thursday morning (hear me out here). Starting out on Sunday, Rhode Island had absolutely ker-ploded (an Eddieism). Their defense did nothing, and their only good scores were a 10 from John Kasay and 11 from Dunn. The misspelled Klowns had Carson Palmer’s 10, a Janikowski 9, and a defense that scored. After Sunday, The Klowns were up by 17. Fast forward to Monday Night Football, where the Patriots got owned with a capital P by Indianapolis. There were three benefactors to this. Rhode Island got 16 from Manning and a 12 from Wayne, putting them up 11. The Klowns got that 11 back with Edgerrin James. After Monday, it was tied. Then, Wednesday night/Thursday morning, Cincinnati lost a point somehow for the Klowns, giving the Voltaic the win. A well-fought match by both teams, only sullied by Yahoo’s scorkeeping.

Koko's X-Cats (4-3-1) vs. hurricanes (2-6)
draw
43-43
The second victim of Yahoo’s lousy scorekeeping this week doesn’t break a tie, but rather causes one (the Canes actually won this game before what I assume is another scoring change Thursday morning). High points for the Canes: Pittsburgh’s 13 (it’s not like the rest of their defense actually did anything), Graham’s 9, and the fact that despite having no T.O., McNabb managed to put up 7 positive points. The X-Cats’ good stuff: Julius Peppers’s 10, Jordan’s 9, and Collins’s 8. I suppose the tie is better than a loss for the X-Cats, meaning a break actually went in their favor for a change.

Nor Cal Crushers (7-1) d. sigmakittens (4-4)
69-64
“The obviously bored Crushers wanted to make things more challenging by ‘seeing how the other half lives’ by mismanaging their roster by leaving two players unattended who are on a bye including their quarterback.” Quoted for hilariousness. And truth, despite the fact that there was really nothing Nor Cal could do about the sitch. Truth be told, the Sigmakittens gave them a run for their money. Their defense combined for 37 (extra props to Gamble with 19 and Seattle with 14), and dual 9s were put up by Curtis “My Favorite” Martin (yes, I happen to like that nickname) and Lawrence Tynes. Even Delhomme tacked on 7. Most of the Crushers offense fell apart. Chicago’s 12 helped. But when I say “most of” the offense fell apart, I mean that. Steve Smith added 13. That was it. No, wait, no it wasn’t. Some guy named LaDanian Thomlinson added a few points. Let’s see, he had 153 all-purpose yards. Oh, and four touchdowns. Double take if you have to, but that totals to 31 points. Most of the offense fell apart, but Smith and Thomlinson carried Nor Cal. The Crushers got really lucky this week, but the fact of the matter is, they won.

The Tacoites (4-4) d. Pelan's Bobcats (1-7)
52-51
The score says one thing about this game: these two teams were very equal this week. Brady got 16 (despite the butt kicking) for The Tacoites, while Alexander scored 20 for the Bobcats. Both had moderate defenses (15-14 in favor of The Tacoites). Both had the rest of the offense score merely okay points. But in the end, The Tacoites edge out the Bobcats by a point, putting them above .500 for the first time this season.

QC Elite (1-7) d. Stevies Scapegoats (2-5-1)
66-38
I gotta say, this is not the same Elite squad that has been stuck in the basement since Week II. They absolutely dominated this week, with 10 from Chris Brown, and 11 from both Michael Bennett and the New York Football Giants. Not quite amazing until you realize that all but two players on the Elite broke 6. The Scapegoats only made things worse for themselves with their only score that they want to see mentioned here being Galloway’s 10. After spending seven weeks in the basement, QC Elite finally breaks free. Now the question remains: can they make a playoff run?

Dunedain (3-5) d. Jc's Evil Empire (5-3)
42-37
D is for Dunedain. It’s also for defense, which is what Dunedain employed this week. A combined 27 lead them to victory over the Empire’s leading duo of Vanderjagt (10) and Vick (8). Not the most exciting game in the world, but Dunedain manages to put themselves in the playoff race.

FIRSTforce (6-2) d. Akshar Did It (4-3-1)
76-31
Yeah, so FIRSTforce clearly won this time. ADI really had no opportunity to put up a fight. Only three of their players scored more than 3 points, with Tab Perry (who?) taking their top score with 9. The Force had a bunch of high scores this week, among these being Carolina (18), Rackers (15), Bulluck (14), and Rudy Johnson (10). And, just to show you the theme of this game, FIRSTforce’s QB scored 1, and it was still 2 more than ADI’s.

Team THRUST (4-4) d. Coco's Monkeys (4-4)
62-28
This was another case of the defeated party being unable to put up a fight. The Monkeys best score was Mike Peterson’s 11. Nobody else cleared 5, and there were three zilches. That’s not going to be a winner, even if your opponent (Team THRUST in this case) doesn’t play a very good game. They did, BTW. Heck, their defensive 28 equaled the Monkeys’ entire score. Add Stephen Davis’s 14, and this game is easily Team THRUST’s.

Cooney Quest (4-4) d. Your Ad Here (7-1)
35-29
Yeah… so when QC Elite outscores this entire game (along with four other teams, one in a loss), you know it was bad. YAH has been trying to lose games all season, and Cooney was playing with the demoralized Packers as their primary scorers. Cooney easily wanted this one more though, getting enough scoring with the Green Bay DEF’s 9, Branch’s 8, and Sellers’s 7. The hurting YAH could only respond with a Randy Moss 7. The best thing to come out of this game was the fact that the Quest desperately needed to win, and they did.

west coast style (3-5) d. IwillCrushYou (3-4-1)
61-57
I seriously thought this would go the other way due to WCS losing Owens. But the rest of their team stepped up to the plate. Marvin Harrison led the way with 18. Byron Leftwich threw for 13 points. And everybody scored, no matter how little. IWCY had more high scores, including Larry Johnson’s 19, Hasselbeck’s 12, and Portis’s 10. But they also had two hurt players and a bye, giving them three 0’s. It cost them a shot at .500 this week.
I've got an interesting favor to ask: now I know what changed the score of the Klowns/Voltaic game (it was Cincinnati losing a point, if that helps), but if anybody could figure out what changed the score of the X-Cats/Canes game (I believe it was with the X-Cats gaining 2-4 points, but don't quote me on that), it'd be appreciated.

And here I was, about to laugh at the fact that there were two teams at .500 after playing an even number of games. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. The plus side is that the X-Cats are closing in on Dunedain's tie record. It's going to be at least two weeks before anybody can clinch a playoff spot, but Nor Cal is the closest right now. Nobody is eliminated yet either. I wasn't joking about the Elite making a playoff run. They can do it because if they win out with a decent fantasy score, they'd be at .500 (and that's possible too because they only have one opponent in the top half of the league left on their schedule), and I have a feeling that the .500 bracket is going to see a few playoff teams this year. And finally, you heard it here first: I'm calling that the currently third place Your Ad Here will not make the playoffs. They're hurting, have a low fantasy score, and have four of the top six teams on their schedule.

Anyhow, thanks for bearing with me through Yahoo's score changing, and see you next week.

Re: Week IX Postgame Analysis
 

I was so PO'd after last week. ALL of my players underperformed and I lost to a guy who barely maintains his roster. There's no way I should've lost the game! All I needed was a pair of tackles from Freeney and I couldn't even get one stupid tackle out of him !!!!
I was so mad I wanted to punish someone by cutting them.
I guess getting a tie is OK but not by very much.

WEEK 9 RESULTS[/center]
Koko's X-Cats(6-3) 91.47 Cooney Quest(2-7) 57.41
The X-Cats easily disposed of the Quest. You know things are looking bad for you when Joey Harrington is all you got.
Steve McNair got outscored by Harrington 24.90 to 20.97 but he had more help from the Chicago Bears defense with 16 points, Julius Peppers with 13.50 points and Paul Ediunger with 10 points.

Jc's Evil Empire(6-3)105.35 [ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(5-4)[/color]97.80
Whomever can get anything good out of their quarterback (or at least inflicts the least damage to their own teams chances) will lead thier team to victory here as well. The Empire is looking solid with Thomlinson though.
Actually it was a total swing and a miss on tis one as Testeverde's pathetic perfomance forced the Evil Empire to have to do things the hard way. Fortunately they had LaDanian Thomlinson who put up 35.70 points. He outscored the Clowns backs himself who only scored 7.53 points. Deion Branch had 12.37 and the Detriot Lions defense had 10.50 points for the Evil Empire. Anthony Wright had 17 points, Erron Kinney had 13.43 points , the Washington Redskins defense had 12.00 points, John Kasay had 10.50 points and Joe Jurevicius had 10.07 points to make it close for the Clowns but the running game failure cost them dearly.

Nor Cal Crushers(6-3) 135.11 WBI-461(7-2) 111.46
The Crushers could slap WBI-461 from their second place perch with their solid advantage at running back with Shaun Alexnader and Lamont Jordan over Curtis Martin and DeShaun Foster who will have to wait his turn for his carries behind Stpehen Davis. WBI-461 needs a big game from Jerry Collins to stay close.
Scored a home run on this one. The Crushers got 35.9 points from their backs compared to 14.4 for WBI-461. Collins did his part scoring a respecatable 26.33 which is decent but not enough to Carson Palmer's 29.37 points. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense added 17 points, and Steve Smith added 15.57 points. WBI-461 got 14.03 from Jerry Porter, Bryant Johnson's 13.40 points and Zach Thomas with 11.50 points.

Tomahawks(6-3) 111.85 Mechanicatz(3-6) 52.67
The Mechanicatz must have packed up camp for the season because they decided to leep Drew BLedsoe in the starting lineup even though he's on a bye.And in this league you cannot win without a starting quarterback. The Tomahawks should win easily.
Told ya.

sigmakittens(3-6) 139.59 Stevies Scapegoats (6-3) 95.03
The Scapegoats need to make up for last weeks egg-on-your-face collapse last week get an improving sigmakittens team. The quarterback matchup is pretty tight but the Scapegaots got significnat advnatages in the recivers and the running game and that could make all the difference.
Well The kitteis won the RBs matchup 20.43 to 17.40 and the Scapegoats won the recivers matchup 43.4 to 22.53 and Green wont he matchup for the kitteis over the Scapegaots Brunell 23.83 to 17.23. The clincher came from the Carolina Panthers defense who buisted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in the face 31 to 2.

Cromer Angry Smash!(9-0) 134.13 Dogs in the Bathtub(1-8) 83.18
The best team in the league against the worst. Looking up and down the Dogs roster there is no reason to belive they have any chance whatsoever to knock the Smash from the ranks of the unbeaten.
Well that was easy.
The Smash had 8 players in double figures to the Dogs 2.
How hard is that?

Pelan's Bobcats(2-7) 111.87 Beckham Pwns All(4-5) 68.48
Both teams are missing players due to byes and the Bobcats (on paper) have the advantage for once. What Brees and Brady do obviously goes a long way in deciding who wins as does the running back battle. What may actually settle the matter is if the Seattle Seahawks handle the Cardinals for the Bobcats and if the Dolphins have answers for Micheal Vick and the Falcons for Beckham.
Brady outscored Brees 37.77 to 21.87 and Seattle outscored Miami 20 to 12 and the stat of the game both teams had 4 zeros from their rosters a piece.

wst Coast Style(2-7) 115.30 Tolman(4-5) 78.50
In spite of his poor roster management Tolman is still in the playoff hunt but that could end after this week and it'll be thier own fault for leaving 4 players who are on a bye. Unless the Portis and Lewis go nuts they really don't have a chance .
They didn't and while Tolman didn't end his playoff hunt they certainly hurt it.

WEEK 10 SCHEDULE[/center]
Koko's X-Cats(6-3) vs. Jc's Evil Empire(6-3)
The X-Cats are hoping for a full recovery from Marc Bulger and for Willis McGahee to run wild on the Chiefs defense in order to win. Meanwhile the Evil Empire is looking for SOMETHING from both David Carr and Brian Westbrook but Tony Gonzalez and Mike Vanderjagt may be the answers for them this week.

[ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Klowns(5-4)[/color] vs. Nor Cal Crushers(6-3)
The Crushers boast a huge advantage at running back and I donn't think GArcia is playing for the Klowns either so things are looing pretty grim for them.

WBI-461(7-2) vs. Tomahawks(6-3)
So long as the Tomahawks have Peyton Manning they have the ability to beat anybody in theleague. Especially when he is going up against a weak opponent like the Texans. WBI-161 could make up the difference witht he combined effort of Stpehen Jackson and Kerry Collins but the real wildcard could be the Colts defense.

Mechanicatz(3-6) vs. sigmakittens(3-6)
Two teams going in opposite directions.The good news for the Mechanicatz is that no one is on a bye but the bad news is alot of them are injured (including Derrick Blaylock who is out of action). The kitteis don't have anyone who is going to scare people to death but if they perform up to their standards the kitties could be looking at creeping back up into the playoff chase.

Stevies Scapegoats (6-3) vs. Cromer Angry Smash!(9-0)
The Scapegoats could possibly be the biggest threat to the Smash's undefeated run because Jake Delhome could outperform Brett Farve and Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne could go crazy going against the Texans. Where the Smash could keep the streak alive is in the running game with Edgerrin James and Stephen Davis (though he needs to make more plays than he has been) over Warrick Dunn and Shaun Bryson (does he even play much?).

Dogs in the Bathtub(1-8) vs.wst Coast Style(2-7)
For once the Dogs are actually favored and it's because of the the advantage of Duce Staley and Cedric Benson over Lamar Gordon and Jerome Bettis (who may not be playing) but Donovan McNabb is stronger for wst Caost Style than Micheal Vick is for the Dogs.

Pelan's Bobcats(2-7) vs. Cooney Quest(2-7)
The two surprise winners from last week meet up and it's a battle of attrition as poor roster management and injuries have taken their toll. The Quest have two active productive running backs while the Bobcats have the disappointing Corey Dillon but they also have Tom Brady who's team is backed into a corner and that's when he is at his best while the Quest have retread Brad Johnson.

Tolman(4-5) vs. Beckham Pwns All(4-5)
The two dissapointing teams fro last week do battle to see who gets back on track and who falls further away from the path. Beckham is missing an INEXSCUABLE seven players who are on a bye and have bascially doomed themselves (why couldn't he put forth this crappy an effort when he was playing me?)

Re: Week IX Postgame Analysis
 

FIRST Fantasy Football Plus League

Koko's X-Cats (4-3-2) vs. sigmakittens (4-5)
The X-Cats are depending on Kerry Collins and Willis McGahee to produce but the difference may be if Micheal Pittman can add anything to the equation. The kitties hope to get the same from TJ Duckett who hasn't played in weeks.

Rhode Island Voltaic (6-3) vs. [color=sienna]Jc's Evil Empire (5-4)[/color
Corey gets an opportunity to vent on the commish. But if Manning goes postal on the hapless Texans it won't even be close. If he doesn't then the Empire could snatch the game away with Steve Jackson and Rommie Brown.

Nor Cal Crushers (8-1) vs. [color=navy]Feisty Klowns (5-4)[/color ]
The beat (ings) goes on for the league leading Crushers as they ride the arm of Jake Plummer and the legs of Brain Westbrook and Steve Smith. The Klowns need Edgerrin James and Reuben Droughns to get by.

The Tacoites (5-4) vs. hurricanes (2-6-1)
The canes rely on Donovan McNabb but he may be all they have. The Tacoites counter McNabb with an angry Tom Brady and the surprising Colts defense to add alot of points as well.

Pelan's Bobcats (1-8) vs. Stevies Scapegoats (2-6-1)
The Bobcats would be in real good shape with Trent Green and Shaun Alexnader if Antonio Gates wasn't on a bye thos week. Because he is that leaves the door open for the Scapegoats who may or may not get anything out of Ricky Williams and Brad Johnson.

QC Elite (2-7) vs.west coast style (4-5)
This is a funny looking game. There is no one player who sticks out as a game changer (outside of Marvin Harrison) but they have more players who make plays.

Dunedain (4-5) vs. Akshar Did It (4-4-1)
Being that Dunedain is missing their quarterback and defense I doubt Dunedain will do very well this week.

FIRSTforce (7-2) vs. Coco's Monkeys (4-5)
Here's something you don't see every day. Both teams are basically fighting over the same team and who may or may not win this week could come down to who coach Mooch chooses to start. The loser of the decison could be in bad shape but FIRST force would be in better shape with better shape with better players and they have their kicker actually playiong this week.

Team THRUST (5-4) vs. Your Ad Here (7-2)
Your Ad Here is missing three players not the best way to maintian playoff position.

Cooney Quest (5-4)vs. IwillCrushYou (3-5-1)
Inspite of themselves IWillCrushYou is actually favored and it's because of Matt Hasselback, Larry Johnson, Clinton Portis and Domanick Davis who are better than Brett Farve and Mike Sellers. Plain and simple.
