Out of the sandbox

Only two more seasons to go before we are all caught  up on our past Out of the Sandbox League seasons. This week we look at a odd year, 2016. This season we had a regular season champion but do not recognize a champion for the playoffs that season. Sloeny dominated the regular season going 13-1 and scored 161 points more than the next highest person. Tirico went 11-3 and got the 2 seed in the playoffs. While Chris and Derek both went 8-6 to be 3rd and 4th. In the first semi finals Chris upset Sloney 134.31-105.41 as the Hilltop Creepers picked the worst week to have their worst week of the year. Tirico then beat Derek 115.80-97.20. Sloney was able to win 3rd by winning 135.99-128.24. In the championship game Derek scored 118.26 points. Tirico scored more 143.36 but as we know, he is not my champion so we did not have a champion in 2016. Of course we did, and it was Tirico and he had a great squad. Led by Chippewa great Antonio Brown.. proving the only way for a Bronco to win...

Shortly after 10am est we have received an official statement from the owner of the team Jennifer & Ronny about the pending Odell Beckham Jr. Situation: "At this time we are 100% behind our player Odell Beckham Jr. and he remains a major part of our teams plans for the 2018 season. We will let the legal process take its course but for now he denies any wrong doing and all accusations against him he has told us are false. We will continue to watch this story closely to see if any changes need to be made before the deadline for League keepers."

We continue our look back at past seasons of the Out of The Sandbox League as this week we are up to the 2015 season. A season that saw Ryan dominate pretty much the entire way on his way to a 11-3 season and the #1 overall seed going in to the playoffs. Sloney was second 2 games back at 9-5.  While Travis and Greg both finished with an 8-6 record to also make the playoffs. In one semi final Sloney put up a huge week and scored 148.13 points, enough to win most weeks and head to the finals. Not so fast sweetheart. Travis still easily beat him by scoring 175.77 points of his own to make the finals. In the other semi finals Ryan beat Greg 159.33-109.55. In the finals Ryan was no match for Fear Boner 2.1, even though Ryan beat him twice during the regular season and scored more points overall on the year then Travis. Travis was able to walk away with a 170.65-122.94 victory. In the 3rd place match up, Greg beat his old bud Sloney 102.36-92.09. Travis used Kirk Cousins, taking ov...

For the last few weeks, each weekday, minus the 4th of July, we have been previewing a team for the upcoming 2018 NFL season. Now that we have finished that and done all 32 teams, we thought we would look back at what records we picked for each team and using those predict the playoffs and eventual Super Bowl winner.. cause why not. Again it is mid July, so this is subject to change but here is our first draft of our 2018 NFL predictions: NFC: North: Minnesota: 12-4 Division winner 1 seed- bye Green Bay: 9-7 Wild Card 6th seed Detroit: 7-9 Chicago: 4-12 East: Philadelphia: 10-6 Division winner 3 seed New York: 9-7 Dallas: 8-8 Washington: 5-11 West: Los Angels: 11-5 Division winner 2 seed-bye Seattle: 8-8 San Francisco: 6-10 Arizona: 6-10 South: Carolina: 10-6 Atlanta: 9-7 Wild Card 5th seed New Orleans: 9-7 Tamp Bay: 4-12 Eagles over Packers Atlanta over Panthers Minnesota over Eagles Rams over Falcons Minnesota over Rams AFC: North: Pittsburgh: 1...

2017 Record: 7-9 The Washington's were smart, they kept franchise's Kirk Cousins, he never won them anything and they moved on before giving him some huge contract when he never won a playoff game... cause who would do that right? Now they have the greatest #1 overall pick of all time, former Utah Ute Great Alex Smith. Who all jokes a side, is solid, not great, but solid. The Washington's added Paul Richardson to go with Jamison Crowder and Josh Doctson giving Alex some good weapons to throw too. He also has a good tight end in Jordan Reed, during the 3-5 games a year he plays when he isn't hurt. But Vernon Davis is still there who is also solid. The Washington's again added a RB early in the draft this year. Last season is was Samaje Perine, thought by some to be the eventual starter, in the 4th round. This year they added Derrius Guice in the 2nd round who has a great chance of being a starter. Fat Rob Kelly and Chris Thomas is also there, so a running back by...

The soccer game distracted me yesterday, so sorry this is a day late. But today we look at the best season so far in the history of the Out of the Sandbox League, 2014. The Great team "Activities" was the 1 seed as they finished the year with a very impressive 11-3 season. However Touchdown Tirico and Fear Boner 2.0 were bot h right on his tail with a 10-4 record. Hilltop Creepers also made the playoffs with a 8-6 record. In the first semi finals Steve had little trouble with Sloney in winning 139.2-78.02 to make his first and to this point only final. Tirico was able to beat Travis 119.06-102.73 to set up a showdown in the finals. In the finals Tirico had a solid week scoring 130.93 points. Sadly for him, it was not enough as Steve scored 136.18 points to win the title. Jeremy was able to beat Travis in the 3rd place match 78.25-72.87. Activities did have a stacked team in 2014, as they did go all in that year, starting the year before when they made a trade to get anoth...
