WOOF WOOF: Week Fourteen

[kshutchins]

Beanpot's League:

For those of you who have been in deep space either literally or figuratively, Greenville Mayhem is the only team that had clinched a playoff spot in this league prior to this past weekend's action. For the rest of the league it was a fight to the finish!!

 

The most exciting gridiron skirmish of the week turned out to be the battle for 4th place and the final spot in the Championship round. Calfox KosarDawgs fought it out with Dot the I in a matchup that was not decided until the MNF game between Baltimore and Houston that was decided in overtime. Dot the I had the edge going into Monday Night with 78 points and Ray Rice warming up on the sidelines. Calfox trailed only slightly with 72 points and Andre Johnson raring to go. Ray Rice exceeded expectations and added 15 to Dot's total. Calfox must be livin' right because Andre Johnson was not intimidated and scored 30 points of his own. Final score: Calfox 102 and the Championship playoffs, Dot 93 and the Consolation round. Dot the I was last seen in the neighborhood Doc-in-the-Box seeking treatment for the head injury sustained as he beat his head against the wall. Calfox earned the right to face Greenville Mayhem in the semifinals.

 

T's Jelly Donuts made a number of roster changes in an attempt to play the role of spoiler but wasn't quite able to pull it off. As a result, the number three spot goes to The Usual Suspects. Michael Vick (20) and company lead the Suspects to victory by a score of 72-57.

 

Beanpot easily earned the second seed in the Championship round by soundly defeating Navdawg's Browns 111-44. Chris Johnson (25), Pittsburgh's defense (25) and Tom Brady (19) helped Beans record a very impressive 1384 total team "points for" for the season. This represents the highest point total for the league and the only team to score over 1300 points. Because of his 67 point margin of victory, Beanpot also takes home the Toyota "Greatest Fantasy Victor" award for the week. It will be The Usual Suspects versus Beanpot in the semifinal.

 

To finish off the season, Mayhem's Kyle Orton (-5) opened the door for Huskymania who still had a chance at a Consolation round slot. Unfortunately for Huskymania, Aaron Rodgers' injury slammed the door shut, leaving Mania in the #9 spot. Greenville Mayhem 45, Huskymania 31. The outcome has left Mayhem puzzling over how to return the team to early season form. Huskymania won't have to worry about Rodgers' status and can enjoy post season fantasy play from the comfort of his easy chair rather than pacing the sidelines.

 

Dot the I will be facing Ballantyne Buckeyes in round one of post-season fantasy play. The Buckeyes claimed the last availabe playoff spot by defeating Insert Clever Name 77-59. In classic fantasy football irony, ICN's Peyton Manning (18) helped Pierre Garcon (24) lead the Buckeye's to victory.

 

Frigid Florida temperatures must have gotten to Zombo because he lit a fire under his team to win the Viagra high scorer trophy. The Cleveland defense posted the only single digit for the team. Darren McFadden (34) and Deion Branch (24) provided particularly inspired play in the defeat of Texas Chainsaw Massaquoi 128-81. Zombo had better hide the Viagra from his team because they'll have to be ready for a rematch with Massaquoi who earned a Consolation round berth despite the loss.

 

Relieved that the season is over?:

These teams battled all season and helped keep the League competitive and fun. Thanks, guys!

Huskymania

NavDawg's Browns

T's Jelly Donuts

Insert Clever Name

 

To recap, it will be:

(1) Greenville Mayhem vs. (4) Calfox KosarDawgs

(2) Beanpot vs. (3) The Usual Suspects

 

(5) Dot the I vs. (8) Ballantyne Buckeyes

(6) Texas Chainsaw Massaquoi vs. (7) Zombo's WildDawgs in a rematch

 

Oreo's League:

The top four teams in this league had already been decided but seven teams with similar records fought tooth and nail for the consolation round spots.

 

Oreo's Team was able to tame The Hammer 106-71 thanks to high scorers Darren McFadden (34) and Andre Johnson (30). Oreo secured the #5 spot with a 7-6-1 record, edging out sixth place The Hammer at 6-7-1.

 

Four teams finished with records of 6-8-0, the final standings were therefore decided by "Points For." Lambdo's Air Show lost to Kamac 19 by a score of 82-80 but the defeat ultimately didn't matter. Lambdo, with 1140 PF still finished ahead of Kamac at 1088.

 

Hammertime was bashed by first place DD's, 94-67 and finished in 9th place with 967 PF.

 

Dirty hands chose a peculiar week of the season to throw his hands in the air by leaving both Frank Gore (IR) and Brett Favre (out) on the active roster for the week. The result was the equivalent of a surrender to the last place Bronx Browns who fielded a team that included Lee Evans (NA). Dirty hands thus finishes the season at 6-8-0 in 10th place with 907 PF.

 

The team that must still be sitting in stunned disbelief is Ben There Raped That. Ben There had the collosal misfortune of having to face second place Kentucky Barn Burners in this final week of regular season fantasy play. The Barn Burners finished off BTRT handily 104-61. What's stunning about that? Ben There Raped That finishes the season with a record of 5-9-0 and "Points For" total of 1225 which is higher than the season PF of 1182 that belongs to the Barn Burners. Had BTRT managed to win this week, they would have easily snagged a consolation round berth based on the PF tie breaker. They are, instead, stuck in the next to last spot in the league and idle in the post season.

 

Beanpot sent a case of Florida grapefruit to Adrian Peterson to thank him for the single point he scored this week in fantasy play. Beans defeated Choo Choo's by one, 89-88.

 

The playoff picture is as follows:

(1) DD's vs. (4) Choo Choo's

(2) Kentucky Barn Burners vs. (3) Beanpot

 

(5) Oreo's Team vs. (8) Kamac 19

(6) The Hammer vs. (7) Lambdo's Air Show

Thank you, sir. Excellent work!

 

[Cowsrus]

Thank you, sir. Excellent work!

 

 

If you guys are talking about the size of the picture, I'm sorry. I should have tried to resize it when I sent it to you Kathy. It was kinda big and all up in your face size wasn't it? For the life of me, I cannot put pictures on here that's why I'm glad you guys know what you're doing. Thank you Zombo.

[Mr. T]

I think Zombo has the right ideal....
