Dave. What happened? You were playoff bound. Kevin didn’t even need this win. He only put up 82 points. He started Jerome Harrison for you.

Dave lost so either AK or Chris can get in with a win. AK, if he had won, would have had better tie-breakers than Chris. But he played the Chinese. Chris won his game and returns to the playoffs.

Frankson, Derek, Kevin, Chris would like to thank AK, Matt, Tim, Dave, Brian, Rhett for donating your money this year.

*Week 14 Review – Highlights from Week 14

AK lost a game he really needed against the Chinese. Brady shat a turd. Ricky Williams did OK. The 49ers DST had a fucking huge game. 7 turnovers and 4 sacks. They could have been playing against a high school team. My WRs had terrible games. Ray Rice is a bona fide stud. Imagine if Magahee didn’t steal his TDs. Jamaal Charles is 3 times better than Larry Johnson.

Dave broke all our hearts by losing week 14 instead of 15 or 16. Marshall had a crazy as fuck game too. Kevin made it easy. The Saints DST haven’t had a single digit game since week 6. Wish they would have saved that for next week. Thomas Jones was a brilliant trade. I don’t think anyone else has made a better trade this year.

Tim barely showed up for the final game against Derek. If not for Gore’s heroic efforts, Tim would be at around 50 something points. What happened, Tim? You were 6-4 and about to be locked into the playoffs. Losing 4 in a row in the end isn’t the way to go out. Derek only had 2 guys really producing. AP and Andre Johnson. But produce they did.

Rhett never saw that Sucker Punch coming. He still can’t figure out why he isn’t in the playoffs. Getting Ryan Grant was actually a pretty good trade for Matt. Grant, Brees and Dallas Clark all rocked 20+ points to help Matt get a week high 123 points. I’ve been saying for months that Rhett doesn’t win because he doesn’t pick the right players to start. That wasn’t the case here. Rhett could only have gotten at most 119 points if he started his top producers. It wasn’t Rhett’s fault.

Chris finishes strong to get into the playoffs. Vjax finally has a decent game. Chris Johnson continues to show Ray Rice how to be the best all purpose back. Bironas, with 19, is a strategic advantage.

*Best plays and worse plays (yeah, that’s right, not worst, just worse than the best)

Kevin wins out the last 4 games.

Tim does the opposite.

Dave takes over for me in 5th place. I’ve had this seat for the past 2 years.

*Interview – Thank you AK for your response. There will be a bonus interview of past champions starting this week. Thank you Tim for your response.

Newsletter: What went well for your team this season?
AK: Well i suppose my running backs did pretty well. but overall I am not pleased with my team.

Newsletter: What didn’t go so well?
AK: My team just couldn’t get it together, some people would play well, and others would suck. No unity. And my schedule was tough.

Newsletter: Do you feel that you made any mistakes or missed any opportunities you should have capitalized on this season? If so, what were they?
AK: Well I probably could have made some trades early on. Maybe gotten someone useful for a bench player. But I don’t know enough about football to really get unto all that.

Newsletter: Which of your guys has been the most surprising success?
AK: ricky williams

Newsletter: Which of your guys has been the most disappointing?
AK: I never had really high expectations for any of them. All losers.

Newsletter: What was your draft strategy going into the draft? How did it play out? Did you stick to your plan?
AK: Well I was told I would have 1st pick, but then that changed. So after I was moved to 7th or something. I just got whoever I thought might be worth a damn

Newsletter: Who are some players you think you might target next year?
AK: no idea, Peterson maybe

======

Newsletter: What happened to your team during the playoff run?
Tim: Everyone shit the bed at the same time. First Gore goes cold, then Wayne, They Roy Williams heats up for only one game, then Warner gets 7 POINTS! unbelievable.

Newsletter: Do you feel that you made any mistakes or missed any opportunities (waiver wire, trades, etc.) you should have capitalized on this season? If so, what were they?
Tim: My biggest mistake was spending time with a wife new to Canada and a new born baby instead of researching my fantasy games each week. I did have some pretty tight waiver wire pick ups. My coaching rating was #1 for most of the year despite ZERO time to devote to FF. That said, I should have dumped my shitty RBs early and traded wayne for a decent RB while his value was high. I shouldn’t have traded Celek for a WR. Should have traded him for a 10 point per week RB. Fucking Rhett. I thought Wallace would be much better. Should have taken Rhett’s best WR for him or gone to someone with more WRs.

Newsletter: What was your draft strategy going into the draft? How did it play out? Did you stick to your plan?
Tim: I stuck to my plan and I thought it was a great combination of sleepers and solid players. Instead the solid went soft and the only sleeper that worked Brent Celek, I had to trade to shore up holes in my swiss cheese offensive team.

Newsletter: Who are some players you think you might target next year?
Tim: If I told you that I’d have to kill you. I’m so pissed off right now that I’d love to double the stakes for next year, but I don’t think you broke bitches could afford it. Except David “English Empire” Fulvio and Frankson “canaffordayearoff” Lee.

Newsletter: Do you think we should have divisions next year?
Tim: Definitely not. Fantasy football is lucky enough already. Top four league wide should be in the playoffs.

*Looking forward

Fitz got hurt that last game and is getting an MRI. I don’t like that. Looks like he will play but could be hindered. MJD against Indy might not be great. He has been getting stuck at the goal line recently. Matt Stafford needs to get his ass back on the field and hook up with Calvin like teens on MySpace. Jamaal Charles over MJD is actually under consideration.

Kevin: please continue to start Harrison. Against KC. We can go Charles vs. Harrison. Hoping for a monster storm in Buffalo next week. Going to be a close game.

Derek has been very successful this year but every time I look at his team, I don’t see any depth. He hasn’t needed it until now. Kevin Smith is out for the season and maybe questionable for the start of the next season with a monster injury. I want him there as a run threat myself this week for the Lions. Derek must be hard at work building a shrine dedicated to Benson breaking his legs for LJ and to help Chris win.

The Donkey Punchers and Chris Johnson is going to go all DP on Derek and Miami next week. And they are going to put it in the same hole. The dirty hole. Chris used to have depth. Now he is one injury away from Rock Cartwright. Fuck shrines for Benson. I’m headed to Home Center Daiki to start on one for Chris Johnson.
