One is Luck, Two is Skill

Turns out writing these is not as fun, post-embarrassing first-round playoff exit. In a strange fucked up world I am going to spin zone into oblivion so I don't jump off the big bridge in Toledo: The "good news" is this isn't the first time it has happened to me. While the next few paragraphs will be more of a self-reflection on my season this year and the past season I want to encourage you to do the same yourself in your past season so you can hope to ironically be me.  Back when I coached at Pacesetter, my boss at the time (not the sick fuck sexual predator who was my kind of boss that just got arrested by the DEA and taken out of his office in handcuffs as CFO of a major corporation down in Texas on lifetime charges of child sexual abuse/child pornography/having a relationship with a child from the ages of 10-16 whom I brought to Put-N-Bay with us for a weekend/played soccer weekly with us for a year or so) was a guy named Jimmy Walker. Here is a photo of the chil...

Playoffs Week 1 - Preview

Image
Before I get into the preview and this week's two playoff matchups; I want to paint a picture or journey so that you can truly appreciate this year's fantasy league. Close your eyes and visualize these next few lines: First: Draft day is here, it's one day's worth of work that will provide you a year's worth of fantasy football memories. Next: On my way to steal yo girl. Next: You've had your must-have, pocket, draft picks. Next: You've stood firm with your hands on hips against Kyles's attempt to pick your team apart via trades.  Next: You've had cocktails on Fridays/Saturdays talking with the boys about if you picked the right player to play.  Lastly: You've all had this date circled in our calendars from day one and either the fantasy gods gave you the thumbs up or thumbs down for playoff life.  Now open your eyes, do you see it? Try again. Read through and truly visualize each line. They say a picture is a thousand words and with just the few...

Football is Back

Football is back. I need to apologize for the lack of rankings these last two weeks. To make up for it, I am going to do a full breakdown of each team/their power rankings. Along with that, I am already starting to prep my playoff matchups/breakdowns for this next upcoming week.  But before we get to break the seal in regard to the power rankings, I do want to shout out that team up north for the monster win they had a week or so ago. As a die-hard red and grey fan, it's sad to see that I now have two coaches (Steelers and OSU) who both were born on 3rd base. So congrats big brother up north and I can't wait to see that navy and gold blow out TCU in a few weeks.  Power Rankings Full Go Mode: #1.) Scam Fakers - Matt: The team that by not trading but by NFL trades is actually very good. Hockenson, McCaffery, and Etienne have all been superstars/better post-the NFL-made trades. All the haters of your actual in-season trade (Allen/whomever for Kyler/Lockett) I haven't heard fro...
