Week 16

Well, there it is.  Another year, another ACL-less finals.  Is it a curse?  Am I punished for fantasy crimes?  Is it karma for my (branded) arrogance?  Perhaps so.  Oh well..."there's always next year!"

Week 15

Both playoff matchups ended excruciatingly close!  The bEARs bid for a second 'ship fell short by 3pts, as the Munnies sacrificed Mike Evans to advance to round 2. Meanwhile the Zombies put up the 2nd highest score of the week, only to find themselves up against the top scorer, who pulled off the win in the last drive of an OT Monday Night game, as Sanders caught one last reception to put The Futures over the top.  A brutal end for a surprising turnaround season from the Zombies.

Week 14

And so it ends, with the Nutts as the #1 seed and the Zombies making playoffs for the first time in franchise history.  It's unfortunate that an inactive player in a starting lineup had such an effect on the playoff picture, and we may have to look at some bylaw modifications to prevent such things from happening in the future.  But here we are, and it's time to look at the post season, which includes 3 of 4 former champions!

Week 12

And they've done it.  With two weeks still to go, the Nutts have secured a 1st round bye in the playoffs.  Congrats!  Strangely enough, on the other side of things, not a single team has been mathematically eliminated from wildcard contention yet.  The bottom 5 teams are all close enough that it'll be a fight til the end to figure the two wildcards.

ACL and The Futures have secured their playoff spots, but are still neck and neck to determine the bye team.  Meanwhile the E-Munnies and bEARs are still fighting over who will join the Nutts for Newizona's representation.

Week 10

It's been a rough few weeks for our newest owner, as Reek's Revenge finds themselves near the bottom of the division after four straight losses.  Meanwhile the Nutts are trucking right along at 8-1!  The last time a team had an 8-1 start to the season was the E-Munnies back in 2016.  In the other division the Futures and ACL are neck and neck fighting for that playoff bye.  With four weeks left in the season, no team has yet been eliminated from playoff contention, though it will be a long road for the 2-7 teams.

Week 8

Ooh boy, Aaron, that's my quarterback!  6 TDs is a pretty nice way to start your Sunday, fellas.  In other news the Nutts' winning streak finally came to an end with a soul-crushingly low 82pt performance against the defending champs.  They still sit pretty atop the division, but the cracks are showing.

Week 7

Going into week 7 and only one team remains undefeated.  I think it's safe to say it's not a fluke at this point.  The Nutts have finally clawed their way out of the basement to the big stage!  No other team even has 5 wins while they are sitting pretty with 6.  They and the bEARs seem pretty set at the top of Newizona, while Colorexico's top 2 spots are in heated contention with Reek, ACL, and the Futures all sitting at 4-2.

Week 4

Better late than never, right?  It's a good thing I didn't do a blog last week, because I'm not sure I would've been able to call that Ddy's upset over the TDs!  Morale on the team must've just been too low after losing AB...again.  I did want to take a moment to point out the difference between our divisions.  The current highest point scorer in Newizona is the tEDDy bEARs at 365pts.  The current lowest point scorer in Colorexico is the defending champ, Doctor B at 369pts.  Let that sink in for a moment.

Week 2

It's finally here!  And I'm only a week behind on the blog!  It's always a joy watching my amazing team but up below-average points...and still winning.  I don't know if ACL could have teed it up any better for the E-Munnies, but a win's a win!

2019 Draft

And we're at it again!  Hopefully you all are keeping up with the NFL draft!  Our draft will start next Thursday.  This is our 4th rookie draft (can you believe it?), so most of the originals should be used to the routine.  But since we have a new owner this year (welcome, Reek's Revenge!), I'll cover the process below:
