Week 8 Review

Image
 Hello, League-Mates, and welcome to the Week 8 Review. Yes, I am back, despite the angry letter review from last week. Maybe it's because today is Halloween, and I am more afraid than ever about the future of my fantasy season, or it was the amount of fan mail that I received this past week, but I felt compelled to write a week review again. This time, with some heart, rather than malice.  I originally thought that a scary, haunted, Halloween themed review was in order, but then I realized that I would have to dive into everyone's teams and try and assign a scary figure to represent them, and to be honest, that was a lot of work to do on such little time. Therefore, sit back and read as I spill forth such poetic words that Walt Whitman himself would proclaim that I am the one who is accused of gab and loitering by the spotted hawk.  I believe it to be axiomatic when I say that a fantasy football season is full of ups and downs. It's a metaphorical rollercoaster that we a...

Week 6 Review

 Hello League-Mates, and welcome to the Week 6 Review.  It was a really, really, underwhelming week 6. Some offenses really couldn't find a groove, and I believe that it reflected in our scores because only 4 teams scored more than 100 points. And all 4 of those 100 point scorers were pitted against each other. Which leads me to my next point: JOHNNY LOST!!!! Much like Howard Cosell announced on January 22, 1973, "Down goes Frazier!!!", I shouted to Chrissy, Kujo, and Felix, "Down goes Johnny!!! Down goes Johnny!!!". Hats off to my Dad for pulling an upset that he compared to Buster Douglas upsetting Mike Tyson.  I don't really care to dwell too much on the losses of other league-mates because there could be bad Karma, so let's move onto Week 6 Power-Rankings, worst to first.  10. Kaleigh, "Booze Bags": The struggle is real for Kaleigh this year. I have been shouting from the mountain tops that Kaleigh was lying to us at the draft and that she ...

Week 5 Review

 Hello League-Mates, and welcome to the Week 5 Review!  I would first like to thank Kory, who in his ultimate wisdom, decided to bench DJ Moore. And to be honest, I would have done the same thing; therefore, I cannot really sit here and bash the decision.  I wanted to do a Week 5 power rankings, but I think I am going to save that for next week. But I will give you all a little preview, #1 and #2 will go to Johnny and Patrick. Why? Well, Johnny is loaded and somehow, some way, Patrick convinced him to trade away Smith. So, the top 2 scoring teams in the league basically gave the entire league a giant "Fuck You" and formed an alliance like that which is seen in Big Brother or Survivor.  I don't have any resolution yet in how to defeat this newly founded Axis of Evil. It took the Allies nearly 4 years to create a wrinkle in the Axis Powers. And fuck, the Allies had Montgomery, MacArthur, Patton, Eisenhower, and Zuhkov to help lead the way to victory. I'm just not sure ...

Week 4 Review

 Hello League-Mates, and welcome to the Week 4 Review of the Fantasy Report with Carl! I wanted to start out by saying, that yours truly, is no longer winless. In fact, I have catapulted into 8th place! So, all of the haters out there can choke on their haterade!! Now that I have that out of the way, I want to let everyone know that this article may or may not be a rant. I have some facts thrown in there, but it's mostly fluff and filler to occupy your time for a few minutes. Not everything I write is going to be worthy of Pulitzer Prizes or some kind of blog award, but I do what I can to appease the masses.  First, was everyone aware that Kory's team has exceeded projected point totals every week so far? Well now you know. Actually, it's not just Kory who has done this, Patrick, and Jenna have accomplished this too.   Second, teams are 1-1 this year in our league if the top scoring QB was started. Furthermore, teams that started a top 5 scoring QB this week went 1-2...
