2006 FIRST Fantasy Football

haha ok its cool now thanks.

[EddieMcD]

Yay! Week I is here!

Rhode Island Voltaic d. Nor Cal Crushers
60-43
“Peyton Manning is a major league stud for the Voltaic...” This will most likely be the case throughout the season, as Manning lead the Voltaic offense with 12 points. The rest came from a defensive effort worth 27. While Nor Cal's defense put up a respectable 23 and their RBs put up 20, that was literally all they'd get. The rest of Rhode Island's offense was able to put up numbers, and therefore, win.


Koko's X-Cats d. Dunedain
70-40
Kerry Collins put up 14 for the X-Cats. The best thing Dunedain had going was a Tiki Barber 12. If that wasn't the only decent scoring Dunedain would get, it wouldn't be so bad. But with an underperforming defense, and an almost non-existant offense, the X-Cats take this one easilly.

FIRSTforce d. The Tacoites
66-59
The Tom Brady owners around the world must have been dancing with joy, what with his 13 points this week. Indianapolis added 17 and Jeff Reed contributed 10 more. So with all that, why didn't the Tacoites win? Steve Smith and Rudi Johnson combined for 25, while the defensive effort totaled 24. The rest of the offense, albeit not scoring much, was able to put a win in FIRSTforce's bag.

Team THRUST d. Stevies Scapegoats
40-33
Daunte Culpepper got intercepted three times, and fumbled twice. That's a -9 in the Scapegoats' QB slot. On the other side of things, Marc Bulger was able to put up a very nice 12. That's a difference of 21 right there. While the Scapegoats attempted to mount a comeback with Atlanta's 11 and Willie Parker's 16, it wasn't enough to offset Culpepper.

Cooney Quest d.. QC Elite
46-34
It's the battle of the QBs who did absolutely nothing! Now to be fair, at least the Elite's Aaron Brooks scored a single positive point. But even with the New York Giants 19, they still lost. Despite Favre's less-than-spectacular -4, Deion Branch's 10 and Buffalo's 18 pumped the Quest up enough to get that win.

IwillCrushYou d. Pelan's Bobcats
43-34
"Pelan's Bobcats have hamstrung themselves by playing the suspended Antonio Gates and a player who is not on an NFL roster making things easier for IWCY...” Yeah, prettymuch. I will give the correct props to Larry Fitzgerald and Larry Johnson though, who combined for 30 for IWCY.

Your Ad Here d. hurricanes
52-51
This was the closest and most exciting game of the week. It started on Thursday, with YAH getting 12 points from Randy Moss. We continue to Sunday, where the major contributers for YAH were Julius Jones and Shayne Graham with dual 10s. The Hurricanes had Rian Lindell's 16 from the K position and Pittsburgh's 14. They were down by one going into Monday Night Football, where their star Donovan McNabb would take them to victory... one would imagine. Unfortunately, McNabb put up a rather large goosegg, allowing YAH to barely escape with a victory.

Coco's Monkeys d. sigmakittens
44-31
It's primates versus felines this week on Animal Planet. Yeah, it wasn't much of a battle. The Monkey's really only needed Corey Dillon's 16 to succeed. The only relatively decent score for the Sigmakittens was Priest Holmes scroing 12. The Monkeys take one for the primates.

Akshar Did It d. Fiesty Clowns
34-30
Move along. Nothing to see here. What's that? I'm contractually obligated to actually write something? *swears in Manderin* Fine, I guess ADI getting 11 off of Roethlisberger is something. A win is a win, and ADI has one.

west coast style d. Jc's Evil Empire
56-38
"It's the Evil Empire's slew of running backs Jamal Lewis, Steven Jackson and Ronnie Brown vs. WCS's stable of recivers Terell Owens, Marvin Harrison and Drew Bennet.” The one problem with having a slew of RBs is that they really have to get a lot of touches to produce yardage and scores. The Empire's RBs didn't get either. Harrison and Owens were able to combine for 14 on WCS's team. “What Fred Taylor and Byron Leftwich does will determine how WCS will do.” Well, they both won, and hey, so did WCS. Psychic points for Ed!

Wow, there's a major fantasy point difference between the tops and bottoms of both the winners and the losers. Could fantasy points play an even larger role in determining who makes the playoffs than they have in year's past? Obviously, it's way too early to tell, but it'll be an interesting thought to ponder as the weeks go on. Catch you next week.

WEEK 1 RESULTS

Koko's X-Cats149.33Stevies Scapegoats 117.39
The X-Cats ran away with the game with massive advantages from MArc Bulger over Jake Delhomme 49.60 to 18.70, and the running game in which Willis McGahee and Julius Jones outscored Warrick Dunn and Kevin Faulk 25.20 to 11.73. The X-Cats got 17 points each from Darren Sharper and the Philadelphia Eagles defense as well as 10.60 points from Daerrick Mason. Stevie's Scapegoats got 21 points from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense as well as 13.60 points from Marvin Harrison and 11.30 points from Chad Johnson.


Jc's Evil Empire 134.54 Nor Cal Crushers129.04
The Evil Empire eeked out a close victory over the game Crushers when kicker John Carney outscored Nate Kaeding 13 to 6.50. The Evil Empire was led by the Buffalo Bills defense which put up a mighty 27 points and Ben Roethlisberger who put up a strong 24.10 points. Brian Westbrook scored 16.90 points, Terrell Owens scored 10.97 points and Ladainian Thomlinson contributed 10.80 points. The Crushers were led by Jake Plummer's 21.57 points and Steve Smith's 20.20 points. The Pittsburgh Steelrs defense scored 19 points and Randy McMicheal scored 13.67 points.

Tomahawks 111.06 Cooney Quest103.47
A case of role reversal played a huge role in deciding this contest as the opportunistic Indianapolis Colts defense scored 26 points while the usually ball hawking New England Patriots defense only managed 8 points. Peyton Manning scored his points for the Tomahawks getting 30.83 points but Joey HArrington got 26 points. Plexico Burress scored 13.87 points and Jeff Reed scored 11 points for the Tomahawks. Keenan McCardell scored 24.70 points for the Quest but no one else stepped up. The loss of Javon Walker particularly hurts the Quest.


Beckham Pwns All119.03sigmakittens 63.50
The Kitties crashed and burned getting only 12.50 points fromPriest Holmes and 12.10 points from Trent Green and massive dissapiontment everwhere else on their roster. Drew Brees nearly outscored those two with 24.10 points. Add 24.17 points from Jimmy Smith, 16 points from the Washington Redskin defense, 15.13 points from Tiki Barber, and 11 points from Shane Graham and it's Beckham Pwns All going away.


Cromer Angry Smash! 130.42 Tolman107.51
The kicker and recivers settled this one as Jeff Wilkins outscored Sebastian Janikowski 16-2 for Cromer Angry Smash! and their recivers Laveranues Coles, Larry Fitzgerald, Santana Moss and Jeremy Shockey outperformed Tolman's recievers Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn, Keyshawn Johnson and Alge Crumpler (way too dangerously relaint on the Cowboy's passing game. It'll be Tolman's downfall this year) 48.56 to 39.7. Cromer Angry Smash! also got 17 points from the Jacksonville Jaguars defense and 15.13 points from Brett Farve. Tolman got 26.77 points from Matt Hasselback and 14.50 points from Jason Taylor.

Pelan's Bobcats94.63Dogs in the Bathtub 68.20
While Micheal Vick is an amazing athlete and perhaps the most exciting player in the NFL he is a crappy fantasy football player. Not good news for Dogs in the Bathtub.
Actually he was all they had. Scoring 18.73 points for them. Tom Brady scored 34.13 for teh Bobcats and it was over.
What's worse is they are depending on unproven players like Cedric Benson,Kevin Barlow (who is a major disappointment to say the least), Charles Rogers who has yet to play a whole season IN HIS CAREER, Clarence Moore.
These 4 players combined for a puny 16.24 points!
Corey Dillon scored 19.20 points and Rudi Johnson scored 16.20 for the Bobcats who were blessed with the soft spot on their schedule.

Mechanicatz 124.67 Fiesty Clowns71.40
Drew Bledsoe vs. Daunte Culpepper is an ugly mismatch for the Mechanicatz.
Whoda thunk that it would be Daunte Culpepper laying the egg and Drew Bledsoe winning the battle 34 to 12..03 points. That's just about all you need to know about the Fiesty Clowns week as 12.57 points from Issac Bruce was the maximum point production they recieved from their woeful roster last week. The Mechanicatz got 17.17 points from Randy Moss,15.87 points from Cadillac Williams, 14 points from the Atlanta Falcons defense ,and 13.33 points from Torry Holt to win going away.

WBI-461 113.94 wst Coast Style89.57
wst Coast Style made a huge mistake going with Jerome Bettis and Duce Staley who are both out and were at a disadvantage already against Deuce McAllister and Steven Jackson.
How does a 23.97 to 0 advantage sound?
Donvan McNabb put up a decent 22.57 and Deion Branch and teh Minnasota Vikings D put up a respectable 16.10 and 16 points respectively it wasn't enough in wake of Kerry Collins 35.97 points, and Zach Thomas 11 points as well as that glaring defecit in the running game.

WEEK 2 SCEDULE

Mechanicatz(1-0)vs. Koko's X-Cats(1-0)
Marc Bulger is the big gun for the X-Cats as Willis McGahee could find tough sailing against the tough Bucs D who will stack the box Sunday and force JP Losman to beat them. The Mechanicatz may soon regret putting their faith in Drew Bledsoe who will find out Monday night if he can handle a blitz from the 'Skins. Cadillac Williams could be rendered ineffective on Sunday by the airtight Bills D. They have a sizable advnatage at reciever and that could be the difference.

Jc's Evil Empire(1-0) vs. Tomahawks(1-0)
The Tomahawks lean on Peyton Manning's right arm but the Evil Empire can stomp youto death with the 4 legs of LaDanian Thomlinson and Brian Westbrook. That makes the Evil Empire very tough but they can;t expect Ben Roethlisberger to match Manning. If the backs play like they're supposed to he won't have to. The tight end match up is one for the ages. Tony Gonzales for the Evil Empire vs. Antonio Gates for the Tomahawks.

Nor Cal Crushers(0-1) vs. wst Coast Style(0-1)
wst Coast Style is rolling the dice going with the Dolphin's Gus Freotte. The Crusher's Jake Plummer muist take advantage! Also wst Coast style should expect little or nothing from Jerome Bettis so unless Fast Willie PArker has another huge game he'll be hard pressed to outmuscle Lamont Jordan and Larry Johnson.

sigmakittens(0-1) vs. Cooney Quest(0-1)
The Kitties are going to continue to rely on KC's one two punch of Trent Green and Priest Holmes but could really use some prodection from Micheal Bennet and Andre Johnson to get going. The Quest probably can't rely on Joey HArrington so they need a big game from Ahman Green.

Cromer Angry Smash!(1-0) vs. Beckham Pwns All(1-0)
The Smash need Brett Farve to show up and be Brett Farve. The running game is a tough match with Edgerrin James and Curtis Martin going for the Smash vs. Domanick Davis and Tiki Barber for Beckham. The Smash sport a blank ont he D and that could hurt them in the long run.

Dogs in the Bathtub(0-1) vs.Tolman(0-1)
Hasselback and Vick go head to head on the field and on the Fantasy roster. Tolman might get the better of the deal with Hasselback. The DOgs are really hurting at running back and Tolman should administer the killing stroke with Jamal Lewis and Clinton Portis on their side.

Pelan's Bobcats(1-0)vs.Stevies Scapegoats(0-1)
Like the previous matchup Jake Delhomme vs. Tom Brady happens in Fantasy and reality. In these kind of game Tom Brady tends to forsake stats for the sake of the team and Jake Delhomme will get his yards but what he does in the red zone will determine how sucessful the Scapegoats are. The Bobcats have a sizeable advantage at running back with Rudi Johnson and Corey Dillon who I suspect is who New England will rely on to defeat Carolina thus he will have big stats.

WBI-461(1-0) vs.Fiesty Clowns(0-1)
WBI-461's Kerry Collins and the Fiesty Clowns Daunte Culpepper are both due for bigtime weekends the difference is WBI-161 got fantasy stud Duece McAllister and the criminallyunderused Steven Jackson (Mike MArtz is stillan idiot. It's about as certain as death and taxes) while the Clowns Kevin Jones might as well be sloggin through mud against a nasty Bears defense and Chris Perry won't get alot of chances to make a difference.

WEEK 1 SCEDULE

Rhode Island Voltaic(1-0)vs. Koko's X-Cats(1-0)
The Voltaic have instant offense with Peyton Manning but the X-Cats Kerry Collins could be just as capable with Randy Moss on his side. The X-Cats also have Willis McGahee and Lamont Jordan while the Voltaic have the not quite as effective Warrick Dunn and a fleet of recivers. Two of them are returners and are not heavily featured in their team's offense.

wst Coast Style(1-0)
vs. Nor Cal Crushers(0-1)
The Crushers are strong at running back with LaDamian Thomlinson and Brian Westbrook and may need to be with the mercurial Jake Plummer around. Byron Leftwich is no Dan MArino for wst Coast Style but he makes less mistakes. While Fred Taylor is adequet (when healthy) Micheal Pittman is now just an afterthought in Tampa.

Dunedain(0-1)vs. The Tacoites(0-1)
Dunedain has a huge advantage at running back with both Tiki Barber and Ahman Green while The Tacoites are stuck with Kevan Barlow. That means they'll need a big game from Tom Brady but this weeks game looks like one of those game that Brady just manages instead of putting up big stats so the Pats can win. Not a good sign for the Tacoites.

FirstFORCE(1-0)vs.Stevies Scapegoats(0-1)
Stevies Scapegoats are hoping for a better game out of Daunte Culpepper this week than the rookie like disaster he laid out in the dome last week. FirstFORCE on the otehr hand is hoping for a repeat strong performance from Brian Griese this week. They are more likely to get thier help from Duece McAlister and Rudi Johnson.

Team THRUST(1-0) vs. QC Elite(0-1)
Team THRUST got a strong fantasy performer in MArc Bulger who can put up points in bunches in the pass happy Rams offense. The ELite hope to counter with the triple headed running machine of Chris Brown, Tatum Bell and Micheal Bennet. A strong showing from Aaron Brooks would help as well.

Cooney Quest(1-0)vs.Pelan's Bobcats(0-1)
The Bobcats happily acknowledge the return of Antonio Gates and will need his strong offensive production because they will be without Duce Staley but stiull decided to waste a roster spot on him. That means Shaun Alexander has to do more. The Quest are just hoping for Brett Farve to return to normal and that TJ Duckett gets lots of red zone carries.

I Will Crush You(1-0)vs. hurricnaes(0-1)
Teh Canes Donovan McNAbb is hurting and I Will Crush you's three headed monster of Domanick Davis, Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson could make this ugly. JJ Arrington is certainly not going to outperform these three.

Your Ad Here(1-0) vs. sigmakittens(0-1)
The kitties are hoping to get strong play out of Jake Dellohme, Preist Holmes and Curtis Martin while Your Ad Here fires back with Randy Moss and Julius Jones. What Steve McNAir manages to do will ultimately decde their fate.

Coco's Monkeys(1-0) vs. Fiesty Clowns(0-1)
The Clowns could see better fortune ahead with a stronger quaterback ( Carson Palmer over Joey Harrington) and running backs ( Edgerrin James and Kevin Jones are better than Corey Dillion just becasue there are two of them. BJ Sams doesn't count. He's just a returner.) The Monkeys are stronger on defense because the Clowns have a pair of inactive players on their defensive roster.

Jc's Evil Empire(0-1) vs. Akshar Did It(1-0)
The Drew Bledsoe / MArk Brunell matchup would have been intriuging.... 5 years ago. Now it's a qiestion of who will give them more points and less headaches. In this case I'd give the nod to Drew BLedsoe and the Evil Empire. Where the Empire really thrives is at running back where Jamal LEwis, Steven Jackson (so long as AMrtz doesn't try to be sucha "genuis" ) and Ronnie Brown have a distinct advantage over Chad Morton.

Am I the only person who realizes that returners are worth their weight in gold simply for the return yardage? It may not be big points, but they're usually quite consistant.

[Koko Ed]

Eee-yah! I was sweating out that Dallas game to the last pass.
All that lateralling made me nervous but it looks like I won by a supreamyly thin margin when I thought I had everything well in hand.

[Cory]

If only I hadn't been playing JC last week, I'd be 2-0 and in first place.

Instead I'm 1-1 and have more fantasy points than anyone else.

Sorry, but honestly, this has to be the most moronic trade I've ever seen (followed close by the guy who wants to give me Chad Pennington for Shaun Alexander)
