Week Seven Results:

Sparky McRandomsons 105
Rochester Bulls 56
Box Score
-Not much to say. Hooray bye!

Dark Adepts 79
Tokyo Raiders 151
Box Score
-As Tony Romo goes, so goes roninmedia. Last week went really well for both of them, with everyone except for Mario Manningham and Dustin Keller reaching double digits.

Konoha Shinobi 71
The Generals 111
Box Score
-This went as expected, even the 20 Sir Whirly left on the bench (Ryan Grant) wouldn't have saved him.

Sas-gay =] (The Team Formerly Known As Knuckleheaded Ninjas) 58
Scorehappy3 58
Box Score
-Um, I still don't know what happened here. Injuries, a Philly Pick Six... um, yeah.

Gama Warriors 108
Zatties! 92
Box Score
-Steve Breaston, Mike Wallace, Lee Evans. If you have told me going into Sunday that Steve Breaston (with a banged up Anquan Boldin) would be the lowest scoring of the three, I would've laughed in your face. Oops. Well played, Nee-sama. I've got our Week 12 matchup circled already (along with Week 10 at The Generals).

True Miracles 111

-DeSean Jackson saved me too, in a different Fantasy Football League. Definitely lived up to its Game of the Week billing.

Avoiding the dreaded double-post....

Week Seven Previews:

Sas-Gay =] (3-3-1) at The Generals (4-2-1) (Matchup)
The Generals favored by 11.

-The Generals have been on a roll ever since week four's egg against True, breaking 100 the last three weeks. Even with a player on bye, the matchups just don't look good for the Commish. Nuclear Raven runs his win streak to four.

Dark Adepts (4-3) at Gama Warriors (3-3-1) (Matchup)
Gama Warriors favored by 14.

-Nee-sama continues to work magic with the Warriors' complement of second-tier receivers. The powerful tandem of MJD and Frank Gore was already impressive, and when it's conceivable that Andre Johnson is your low-scoring WR for the week? Nee-sama breaks .500 and gets closer to where her record should be.

Konoha Shinobi (3-4) at Tokyo Raiders (4-3) (Matchup)
Tokyo Raiders favored by 9.

-Welcome back to fantasy relevance, Steve Slaton and Tony Romo! roninmedia's missed you so much! As much as I hate to say it, I expect Romo to continue firing against my Seahawks' banged up secondary - even the possibility of Marcus Trufant returning won't solve their issues. DeAngelo Williams may have a tough day, but Marques Colston will make up for that. Pirates are better than Ninja this week.

True Miracles (4-3) at Zatties! (3-4) (Matchup)
True Miracles favored by 10.

-Ride that Wildcat, Z! Brees and the Dolphin twins try and sneak a win against a Brady-less Miracles team. Will they do it? Eh, a lot depends on Hasslebeck and the Seahawks O-line holding up. You'd think that in a gut call like this one is for me I'd be a homer and think Hasslebeck has a good day, but I'm going with the Zatties! in a close one. Manningham out (and Nicks therefore having a bigger role) is the clincher for me.

Rochester Bulls (2-5) at Scorehappy3 (0-6-1) (Matchup)
Scorehappy3 favored by 10.

-...Eh, whatever. Is someone actually gonna pay attention to their roster here? Scorehappy has less players on bye and Chicago has the horrible Browns today. They win.

Sparky McRandomsons (6-1) at Bailoutpackage4lyfe (4-3) (Matchup)
Sparky McRandomsons favored by 37.

-I don't know why I bothered to put the line, Illmatic has 3 players on bye he can replace. I'll pick myself in a close game, but I'd feel much better if he slept in until 2 minutes after game time.

Steve Slaton, Dustin Keller.

[True]

Zat's bad luck leads to a comfortable victory for me.

Week Eight Results:

Sparky McRandomsons (jwolf0) 124
Bailoutpackage4lyfe (Illmatic) 97
(Box score)

-Viva Chris Johnson! I wasn't ecstatic to draft him (I tend to prefer slightly more steady players), but I have to admit he's bailed me out in two separate weeks now.

Dark Adepts (Burning_Wulf) 90
Gama Warriors (Nee-sama) 126
(Box Score)

-The Warriors stay on their roll with Rodgers, MJD, and an opportunistic Saints D leading the way. Nee-sama is sitting just a half game out of the playoff picture with excellent tiebreakers.

Konoha Shinobi (Sir Whirly) 68
Tokyo Raiders (roninmedia) 89
(Box Score)

-Even a couple of negative point players on the Raiders' squad couldn't bring Sir Whirly within reach. Not removing Calvin Johnson (inactive) from his lineup didn't help, but it's more and more obvious that as Arizona goes, so goes the Shinobi. The Cardinals laid an egg, therefore....

Sas-Gay =] (Mik3) 86
The Generals (Nuclear Raven) 114
(Box Score)

-Even a strained groin couldn't stop Reggie Wayne from getting 12 catches for 147 yards and a TD. This one pretty much went as expected.

Rochester Bulls (CPU Ed) 65
Scorehappy3 (CPU? Anewhope2) 72
(Box Score)

-So now we don't have a winless team.

True Miracles (True) 98
Zatties! (Zatren6) 53
(Box Score)

-Um, wow. Faceplant much? At least Drew Brees added some points to make it now a total disaster... yeesh.

Damnnit just 2 points...

Atleast I was able to defeat Romo

Yay for replies! Now I don't have to edit to avoid a quadruple post or something!

-Monday Night was very good to the Commish, with both Mendenhall and Denver's D managing to both put up big points for him. At least this one isn't Tony Romo's fault.

Rochester Bulls 87
The Generals 58
Box Score

-A loss Nuclear Raven planned for at the beginning of the year, but that was also before Ed decided to, you know, not play. This might come back and bite him in the keister when the playoffs roll around, but I doubt it.

[Burning_Wulf]

Finally broke my losing streak. Thank god for the Steelers defense.

[Nee-sama]

Forget about my previous post, I thought that was for week 9. Thanks for bringing back the commentaries Jwolf0.

Good job beating True Burning Wulf!

[roninmedia]

Battling True for the final playoff spot. That week when Garrard went off against the Titans may be the game that haunts me down the stretch.

[Sir Whirly]

41 points. 41 points from my QB and I still lose...

[roninmedia]

Romo, Colston, Jackson. Combined for negative points.

[Zatren6]

First place and not looking back. 1972 Dolphins = 2009 Tokyo Raiders.

[roninmedia]

facetious.

[True]

I really have to thank the Browns for helping to make up for the terrible performance by my WR corps this week

[Mik3]

Id like to thank Maruice Jones Drew for doing the right thing by taking a knee at the one instead of scoring a TD that would have sealed it for gama warriors. Gracias you beautiful beautiful man.

[Nee-sama]

I think I might have earned another Kick to the Groin last night. Mike you're just lucky Mr. Johnson was on bye.

Yup. It WAS going to go to Nuclear Raven (121 points in a loss), but you can't debate the cringeworthiness of the MJD kneeldown from a fantasy perspective. At least it was for a tactically sound reason and not a DeSean Jackson WTF? moment. For whatever that's worth.

Week Ten Results:

Sparky McRandomsons 125
The Generals 121
(Box Score)

-So the IND/NE game being a shootout was my worst fear, but at least Randy got his. It was just enough so that as long as Flacco didn't break his arm 2 minutes into the Monday Night game I was good.

Oh, and VIVA Chris Johnson!

Dark Adepts 105
TIME FOR A COMEZAT 111
(Box Score)

-Burning_Wulf had some real gems here, but this game proved that several 11-16 point players will beat a few 20+ point players.

Konoha Shinobi 78
True Miracles 101
(Box Score)

-Just so you know, the Shinobi were leading by seven going into Monday Night. He was going to lose anyway, but it was supposed to be a closer game than this. Sir Whirly has to be frustrated with his team, his WR corps is a mess right now.

Sas-gay =] 107

-Google up "MJD kneeldown." The Commish needed this one BAD.

[i]-You see? YOU SEE WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF YOU DECIDED TO KEEP PLAYING ED?! On another note, I don't think I've ever seen a WR get -3 before. Sorry, roninmedia.

Standings After Week 10
Week 10 shook up the standings quite a bit! With four weeks left in the regular season we have 4 (!) teams with the same record fighting over those final 2 spots, and True is only a half game ahead of them. Even Ed's CPU team is not (mathematically) eliminated....
