Way Back Wednesday-2009 Season

In today's way back Wednesday we look at the 2009 season. The first season that was won by a member who is no longer in the League.

The season started with Best Man Robb losing week 1, and then winning 10 weeks in a row, on his way to an 11-3 record and the number one seed in the playoffs. Greg kept pace with his old friend though and finished with an 11-3 record as well to get the 2 seed in the playoffs. With Tirico as the 3 seed with a 8-6 record, and Chris limping in to the playoffs as the 4 seed and a 7-7 record the playoffs seemed to be a forgone conclusion on what would happen... But as they say... that's why they play the games.

Best Man Robb won in the semi finals to make the finals, because, I mean of course he did, beating Tirico 128-115. In the other semi finals Chris beat our fearless leader Greg in a heartbreaker 93-92. That gave us a 3rd place match up between Greg and Tirico and Chris and Best Man Robb for the title.

Greg lost his second straight close playoff match up 122-199 to Tirico to finish in a disappointing 4th place, even though he was 11-3 on the year. In the finals Chris kept his miracle run going by beating Robb 101-96 to earn his first and for sure now only championship.

Chris's team was lead by QB Kurt Warner, the great LDT and Larry Fitz, as well as Ryan Grant, Hakeem Knicks, Brandon Marshall and Willis McGehee to name a few. Chris showed that all you need to do in order to win the championship is just make the playoffs.. and then just like Napoleon's battle play... first you show up, then you see what happens.

Week 1 Preview

 We are back!! football baby, and what a opening weekend, four days of NFL games with some big college games in the middle. And we are back with our predictions, we slacked off last year and in the off season but have worked out a new scheduling agreement and the preview for each week will be posted by Thursday each week. So, without any further ado, let's get to it. The Commish vs. Santono By team name, Santino is already throwing in the towel, but as his character in Radio said, "Don't Quit, Don't Quit, Don't Quit!" Both have a player going tonight, though Greg should have a good lead considering Bambino has Xavier Worthy while Greg has Country Roads Take Mahomes. Tomorrow night, Santino has Mr. Redd going, while the boss has Watson and AJ Brown, so Greg will have a nice lead going into Sunday's games and that lead will remain. Santino starting the cowboy defense alone is enough for me not to pick him, but then again, he does have the greatest and best Q...

Week 5 Preview

 A 2-3 week last week has left the writing staff with a 11-9 record on the season, need to do better. Our first week that byes come into play, so let's get right to it.  Bambino 1-3 Vs Derek 0-4 Can Derek finally get a win, he has a 70% chance as of now from the best fantasy site in the world. Of course, that may have to do with Santino still having two guys on byes in his lineup. Both have players going tonight with Evans and Pitts, I think Derek takes a lead and he does not give it up. He finally gets his first win, 120-110. Hootie world tour 2-2 Vs. our Fearless leader 0-4 Speaking of guys trying to get there first win, our Commish is winless, and guess what, he stays that way. None have anyone going tonight and Hootie does have to worry about Nabers and his concussion if he will play, but as sad as it is to say, G-Money's team is not good, maybe fantasy has passed him by, he is like our Jerry Jones. Hootie wins 120-100. Back2Back Emmy's 2-2 vs. Former Dean 4-0 On the ot...

Week 3 Preview

 A little better week last week, as we went 3-2 in our picks, bringing our season record to 5-5. Not terrible, but you would like to do better than 500. Week 3, let's get right to it.  The Hootie World Tour 0-2 vs. Santino 1-1 Well maybe Bambino knew what he was talking about with his team's name, as we went from scoring 179 points in week 1 to 85 in week 2. In week 3 he gets a team 0-2 that really needs a win and is projected to get one. Neither team has a player going tonight, though both have QBs going on Monday night, but not against each other, as there are two Monday night games this week. Nabers showed he will be the main focus on the Giants offense as he had 18 targets for the game last week at THE WASHINGTONS, catching 10 for over 120 yards and a score, and at Cleveland should be tarted close to as much. Burrow needs a bounce back game and Cinci needs a win as they this week host THE WASHINGTONS, and I expect a big week from him. Santino does have the greatest QB of a...
