Weekend Recap

No point update this week, but I will give you guys a quick recap of the Football God happenings.

Survivor Pool - The castration of Eplin and the worst pick of the year

The survivor pool has become like a scary movie, and every week is a different murder scene.  This week Eplin got his balls cut off, and then left alone to bleed out.  Somehow Jay Cutler took the lowly Bears to their 2nd straight win.

Not a bad pick by Eplin, it's never a bad idea to bet against Cutler.  However, this week, YA BURNT.

Other than that, everyone else took a nice heaping serving of Green Bay, New England, and Atlanta.  All three of them stayed undefeated, keeping the other six 1-strike players in contention.

Voyten, the last person to have 0 strikes, did a classic Clint Hurdle and overthought things until he had the HOUSTON TEXANS picked.  That's the equivalent of starting Sean Rodriguez in the wildcard game.  That has to be the worst pick of the year.

Anyway, we're onto week 6 and left in the running are Folden, Voyten, Geiss, Munez, Adam, Joe, and Rob.  Not as many obvious games this week.  I have a feeling the herd is going to be gutted this weekend.

Pick 'em  The rise of Jim and Civ.  The fall of Gary

For the 2nd straight week, Civ has gathered the 10 points in the pick'em bonus (this time without a tie).  Even more impressive than that, in two weeks Civ has gone from 11th place in the college pick'em to 4th.  What's even more impressive than that is that right now Jim is leading BOTH the college pick'em and pro pick'em.  I'm going to go on record in this update, and say that picking the Pro Pick'me straight up is a fucking joke, as Jim having a 6 point lead on Gary becomes nearly impossible for Gary to come back from, even though we're only like 30% of the way through the season.

Speaking of Gary, two weeks ago Gary had a monster lead in the college pick'em, and one average week + one dreadful week now has Gary in 3rd.  Fortunes can change much quicker in the college pick'em.

Fantasy Football

Folden beat Geiss.  Folden stays undefeated and has an early 3 game lead over the playoffs.
Civ wins 2nd in a row over Eplin.
Gary pummeled Voyten
I beat up on Munez
Jim kicked the shit out of Rob
Joe got a much needed win over Colin.

So where does that put us?

Current Playoff Picture

#1 Folden (bye)
#2 Jim (bye)

#3 Gary vs #6 Adam
#4 Eplin vs #5 Voyten

That's the way the playoffs would go if they started today.  To show how quickly things have changed, two weeks ago I was 0-3 and in 10th place.

Right now everyone from 6th place to 12th place is either 2-3 or 1-4.  So realistically, Geiss could jump from 12th to 6th in a week or two.  That is if his team stops chugging cum and decides to score some points.

In a league this tight, tie breakers may turn out to be the big difference, and we all know that points are the tie breaker.  Right now Rob and I have the big lead in that department over the rest of the sub .500 gang.

That's all for this week.  I'll be back later in the week for a weekend preview.

Weekend Preview

Week 5 of the fantasy football season is on the horizon so let's do a little preview.

The first trade of the season went down this week with me sending Justin Forsett to Munez for Lagarette Blount and Greg Olson.

Let's see if the trading block fills up.  Onto the matchups.

Jim (3-1) vs Rob (2-2)

Rob comes back after a rough performance last week.  He has Todd Gurley and Foster finally both fully healthy.  Jim keeps chugging along, putting up consistent numbers each week.  I think Rob's going to be a force once Big Ben and Dez come back, however I think Jim wins this one, while Rob struggles through another tough week.

Adam (1-3) vs Munez (2-2)

In what may be the dumbest move of the season, I traded for a player on bye, and gave Munez a solid running back to play on me.  This may be the dumbest move I've ever made, and I'm sure it'll lead to me being 1-4.

Voyten (3-1) vs Gary (2-2)

Gary and Voyten both have solid teams.  They both are projected to have solid weeks.  Nothing more to say about this one.

Eplin (3-1) vs Civ (1-3)

Civ and Eplin are on opposite sides of the standings.  But, a solid game by Civ has given him some momentum.  Maybe it'll continue.

Upset Alert:

Joe (0-4) vs Colin (2-2)

Joe made a good point to me the other day.  His team has been outscored the most in our league more than 100 points.  That's a staggering number.  Colin has some health/bye issues, so I think this week is the week that ends the streak, and our champion tries to reclaim some former glory.


Game of the Week:

Folden (4-0) vs Geiss (1-3)

Geiss is in need of a win to stay competitive, but it comes against the only undefeated team left in the league. This is the game of the week because each team is set to score a lot of points.  This game could easily end up very close, with each team over 130 points.

Football God Update: 10/6/2015. Civ decided to join us.

After basically not playing for the first 4 weeks of the season, Civ has joined the party.  Civ was able to not only win his first fantasy game of the season, but also won the week of college pick'em and earned the weekly bonus.  Holy shit.  Well done, Civ.  Thanks for joining.

SURVIVOR POOL:  Two more bite the dust.

However, we'll start this update in the one place where Civ did not go well.  This was our most varied week of selections by far, with San Diego, Denver, Cincinnati, Indi, Green Bay, and Arizona all being represented.  5 of the 6 teams selected won their game, with the exception of Arizona.

That gave Civ and Colin their 2nd strike of the season, dropping them from the Survivor Pool.  They join Gary and Jim on the trash heap.

Also, Geiss received his first strike of the season, meaning that Voyten is only person who hasn't earned a strike.

We are at a point where this could literally be over in one week if everything fell Shawn's way.

College Pick'em

Civ dominated the college pick'em this week, ending 3 points higher than anyone else.  This brought him back into the fold overall.  Gary is in the lead overall with 56 points, with Shawn all the way down at 43.

Pro Pick'em

Gary, Shawn, and Jim all lead the way in the Pro Pick'em, correctly picking 10 of 16 games.  With Civ only getting 7, this brought a tie between Civ, Jim, and Gary for the 10 point bonus, of which they will all receive.

The Pro pick'em is now a tie for Jim and Colin with 41 a piece.  Many people are close.

FANTASY FOOTBALL

The league went a little screwy over the weekend.

Let's start by talking about Rob and I's game.  I beat Rob by 86 points.  His team put up 45 points for the week.

45.

45.

Did you read that.  

45

Rob's team put up 3 1/2 times more than that the week before.  The next lowest point total in a week this year is 65.  Twenty points less.

I could have benched all of my players after Thursday night, and still be rob by 3.  Unbelievable.  I believe I achieved my victory with Sheer Domination.  ;)

Also, Civ was win less and beat undefeated Shawn by 30.

Munez beat Geiss to go to 2-2.

Eplin beat Colin by 13 to go to 3-1.

Jim went to 3-1 by beating Gary.

and Folden stayed the leagues only unbeaten team by beating so far hopeless Joe, knocking him to 0-4.

Our two time defending champion in some early trouble whle trying to 3peat.

Right now our fantasy playoff picture would be as follows.

Folden 4-0 on bye
Jim 3-1 on bye

Shawn 3-1 vs 2-2 Gary
Eplin 3-1 vs 2-2 Rob.

Other than that, Munez and Colin are also at 2-2 but outside of the playoff race based off of points.

Next is myself, Civ, and Geiss at 1-3.

And finally, lowly, lowly Joe all alone at 0-4.

POINT UPDATE

I figured it's October, it's not going to hurt to give an overall point update.  Here's how the points are tabulated.

Fantasy wins (10 points each)
plus College pick'em score (1 point per correct pic)
plus Pro pick'em score (1 point per correct pic)
+ (bonus points)

Later this will include predictions and survivor pool, but as of right now it's not relevant.

Folden 40+47+38+(10)=135
Jim 30+52+41+(10)=133
Voyten 30+43+39= 112
Eplin 30+49+35+(5)=119
Rob 20+48+39=107
Colin 20+52+41+(10)=123
Munez 20+53+37+(10)=120
Gary 20+56+35+(20)=131
Adam 10+49+36+(15)=110
Civ 10+48+31+(10)=99
Geiss 10+46+40+(5)=101
Joe 0+52+37=89

Rankings

1 Folden 135
2 Jim 133
3 Gary 131
4 Colin 123
5 Munez 120
6 Eplin 119
7 Voyten 112
8 Adam 110
9 Rob 107
10 Geiss 101
11 Civ 99
12 Joe 89

Obviously it's early, but is it possible that John has left a curse on his brother.  One that demands a McLane be the worst team in our league?  I don't know.  In any case, as you all know, the winner of Football God will end up north of 800 points for the season, so we still have a lot of juice to suck out of this lemon.

Peace out, girls.

Big Dick Updates: 10/1/2016

Another small update for you filth balls this week.

Another One Bites The Dust:

Gary made the mistake that many people in the greater New York metro area have made time and time again, by trusting the Jets to do anything but let you down.  Gary's joined Jimbo on the trash heap of the Survivor Pool.

I don't know what you guys think, but this Survivor Pool shit is a lot of fun.

Geiss and Shawn still have the distinction of being the only two who still don't have a strike.  Everyone took either New England or Seattle, with the exception of Eplin who took Arizona.

Onto week 4.  2 eliminated, 2 with perfect records, 8 with 1 strike.

Pick'ems:

Folden grabbed the 10 point bonus for week 4, by picking 23 correct picks for the week.  Overall, Rob holds a 1 point lead over Colin in the Pro Pick'em with 33.

Gary has a 3 point lead over Munez in the college pick'em with 47.

Fantasy Football

Week 3 of Fantasy Football results.

Voyten moved on to 3-0 defeating Jim.

Rob  beat up on Geiss, putting out a huge point total.

Folden moved onto 3-0 nearly doubling up Eplin.

Colin beat up on Civ as well.

Munez got out of the cellar putting a beating on Joe.

And Gary beat me by 3 points, because the Jets Cunt of a coach activated Chris Ivory and then sat him on the sidelines ALL FUCKING GAME.

At this point Shawn and Folden are the only unbeaten teams left in the league.  While myself, Joe, and Civ are all in last place at 0-3.

At 2-1 are Rob, Eplin, Colin, and Jim.

At 1-2 are Munez and Geiss.

This weeks Games.

Adam 0-3 vs Rob 2-1
Civ 0-3 vs Shawn 3-0
Joe 0-3 vs Folden 3-0

All three of these games have similar story lines.  3 teams off to good starts against 3 teams trying to stay relevant.  Sort of like the Steelers v Ravens game.

Geiss 1-2 vs Munez 1-2

One will fall to 1-3, one will get to .500

Blowout of the Week Predicton:  Eplin over Colin.

Colin has lots of questionable people in his lineup this week. I don't think Fitzgerald can keep the magic going 3 weeks in a row, and Karlos Williams is due to not score a TD at some point.

Eplin's team is healthy, hungry, and ready to rape.

GAME OF THE WEEK:

Jim (2-1) v Gary (2-1)

Jim's team is getting beat up, but he still has Luck, Brown, and Hopkins.  Gary's starting a WR at RB, so how do you not put him in the Game of the Week.

Until next week, eat my shit, faggots.

Football God 9/22 Update

So, we're three weeks in and I figured it's time for the first real update of the year.  

The NFL was a bit topsy-turvey this week as nearly all of the most picked teams in the survivor pool took a nosedive.  

In Week 1, Jim was the only person lose his game, with Indi getting spanked by the bills.  

Week 2 was no different for the Colts, or Jim for that matter.  The Colts lost to the Jets, giving Civ his first strike of the year.  The Saints Lost to the Bucs giving Colin, Eplin, Me, Joe, and Rob our first strikes.  The Saints loss also knocked Jim out of the Survivor Pool already. 1 Man down 11 remain.  

Geiss and Shawn are the only two people who survived the first two weeks without a strike against them, putting them in early position to earn the 40 point bonus.  

The Pick'em Bonus in Week three went to Gary, Munez and Colin, each getting 20 correct combined picks.  Rob raped through the NFL pick'em but couldn't keep it up in his College Picks, finishing with 19 points.  

Overall in the Pick'em thus far, Rob leads the NFL pick'em by 2 points over a gaggle of people. 

In the College Pick'em Gary has a 1 point lead over Munez, 

Fantasy Football has started off with four 2-0 teams, four 1-1 teams, and four 0-2 teams.  

Jim has set the pace by beating ass in both of his first two games. Folden, Eplin, and Voyten also come in at 2-0

Rob, Gary, Geiss, and Colin are all at 1-1.  Rob's team was the big point scorer of the week, scoring nearly 40 points more than the second closest person.  

In the back at 0-2 are Myself, Civ, Joe, and Munez.  

I'm not going to give a point update for another two or three works.  We'll work on old BCS rules here.  

At this point the best thing you can do is stay the pace, and not end up with your entire team hurt like the Cowboys.  That Super Bowl pick is looking rough for you right now Munez.

Football God 9/16 Update

First week of the regular NFL season done, second week of the college football season done.  Let's get a short idea of where we stand.

Week 1 college pick'em bonus (5 points) was a tie between Eplin, Geiss, and myself.  Last week, Eplin texted me, upset that he didn't realize we were picking college against the spread.  Said he would have changed a few picks.  

Two things about this.  #1 Eplin's the only person I've ever seen who complained after winning a week.  #2  In week two, when he knew we were picking against the spread, he finished in dead last place.  Maybe you should go back to being unaware, David.  

Week 2 combined pick'em bonus was won by me, I scored a combined 24 points.  Jim was right behind with 23. 


Week 1 of Fantasy Football went as follows.

Folden put a SPANKING on Civ.  
Eplin beat Rob.
Jim beat Me.
Gary beat Joe
Voyten kicked the living shit out of Geiss
Colin beat Munez

In the Survivor Pool, everyone lasted through week 1 without getting a strike.  Exceepppppttt Jim.  Jim picked the Colts, who flew to Buffalo to get on their knees and give the Bills the most submissive rimjob I've ever seen. 

No point updates this week.  Would be a waste of time this early.
