You were the goddamned worst in the world that I have ever seen in my life about trades. "Hey, you wanna trade me that red rider BB gun for the .50 cal mounted on your armored Humvee?" This is how your trades looked to everyone but you. Judging by your trade attempts I'm amazed that you're anywhere near playoffs, because you clearly don't understand any fucking thing about football. Then again, No0bs get lucky.
I'm near the playoffs, actually in the championship game, because I drafted well. I didn't blow my wad spending $62 on Larry Fitzgerald. It's too bad I got cold feet before the season and dropped Alfred Morris after I drafted him or I would have been undefeated this year. I still say most of those trades were completely fair if you take out the players name and go on stats alone. Stevie Johnson and Nate Burleson(before he broke his leg) were an upgrade over most of the receivers people claimed I was insane trying to trade for. Even the Brees and Johnson for Foster and White isn't bad seeing as how Johnson is only 20pts behind White at this point in the season. I'm also talking to the guy who traded away Chris Johnson for Philip Rivers. I don't think that makes you an authority on good vs bad trades. The only one I got really wrong were trades involving Jacob Tamme. I really thought he was going to have a monster year with Manning throwing balls his way.
You also benefitted from the weakest schedule in the entire league. And a fair bit of luck in catching the other playoff teams on down weeks: playoff teams averaged under 90 points against you, versus over 97 points for the year. Only one of your opponents (Whiskey) actually had a good week against you. You are the Atlanta Falcons of the TiB Fantasy Football League.
You play to win the game. I have to thank my teammates, couldn't have done it without them. You're only as good as your record. That ish be straight up bomb dope drizzle or any other nonsensical Stuart Scott quote. Easiest schedule? I don't believe that for a second. I'll gladly take the Atlanta Falcons monicker as long as I get to do the Dirty Bird after I beat you for the second time this year. I might start Jay Cutler at QB just to rub it in a little more.
God damn, do I get lippy when I'm drunk. Yeah, I made that trade four weeks in, when it made sense. CJ hadn't done a friggin thing and we didn't know the Chargers were gonna shit away their season.
For the last four years or so the Chargers pattern was to start shitty, then get hot at the end of the year and just barely miss the playoffs. Which would have made Rivers a good backup. Then they forgot that second part.
I told myself if I'm within 20 points going into the late games I'm winning. Sorry Cowbell, you had a good run. Still debating my QB. I have a terrible feeling Cutlet is going to have a ridiculous game today.
Well, looks like I'm gonna finish 6th (TiB paid, of 12), 2nd (TiB free, of 10), and 5th (work league, of 16). Not bad, but no 1sts makes Ian a sad boy.
Not so fast, my friend. I still have the #2 defense in the league going against an inexperienced QB. Also I hope Danny Amendola breaks his collarbone again. Had him in both of my championship matches.
I'll take my cut. You don't get all the money and the glory. Well played sir. Seattle D was the difference.
I wish we all had access to your championship game because it must be more riveting then this Seahawk vs. 49er massacre.
Sadly it's over. I couldn't watch the game, but if Gore showed up at all I would be celebrating right now.
Chater, in case you didn't see it a few pages back we modified the payouts so first gets $400 second gets $200. Congrats Cowbell, you were just a tad too good this week. I'll be back next year, terrible trades and all.
Cannot believe my scrap heap of a team pulled out the free league champ.. Maybe I should lay down some cash next year.
Getting to be that time of year again, will TiB be doing a league? I am pairing it down to 3 leagues this year, I had 4 going last year and it got a little too time consuming.
I actually got the email a few weeks ago that our league is all set up and ready to go. I made sure to set it up last year to carry over to this year, so all the settings and information was saved, we just need to refill teams. Should make the whole process a little easier. I'll gladly take the reigns again and run the show if no one has any issues with it? (And fuck all of you about to say, "That PC, fucking everyone over with ridiculous trades.")
