Welcome aboard, Kenny. Glad to have you.
Quick question, which one of our worst-in-the-league-at-their-position safeties will you be replacing?
Truth!
How I felt after knowing the Falcons lost the chance to play in the Super Bowl in the Superdome
FFL
I’m currently in the championship round. I say round because the guy that setup this league made it a two week combo for the first round and championship game. I guess that’s okay… I mean, I’m doing well so I can’t complain! I managed to destroy the #1 guy in the league two weekends ago, and he didn’t even bother to swap out guys for the second week since I had a 30 point lead on him!
My team’s players (outside of the flex category) average rank is 9.25, and it seems Drew Brees has got things working again. I do wonder if he’ll end up having some surgery in the offseason because he’s been a little off which is abnormal for him. Maybe it’s a psyche thing since he’s been carrying the team. Either way, WHO DAT? Geaux Brees, Graham, Sproles, and the rest of the Saints!
If I win I’m going to try and find a local jeweler(artisan/hipster) to make a championship ring a la Ruxin from The League! I figure that shouldn’t cost too much. Maybe repurpose an old silver ring(not that I have any jewelry), maybe from the Salvation Army or a pawn shop.
The Last Time Drew Brees Had 7 INT’s In 2 Games?
Never.
It’s never happened. I doubt it will ever happen again… unless he throws two INT’s next week :(.
That being said, I think next week we’ll see a rested Brees that will be highly motivated to take advantage of the 25th ranked pass defense that is accompanied by an average rushing defense in the New York Giants.
Who Dat? Not the Giants!
The Death of Breesus
Last night Drew Brees threw five interceptions. Over the past two weeks he has single-handedly ended the Saints’ season, along the way committing the cardinal sin of personally allowing Atlanta’s coronation, propelling the Falcons along what now seems like a predestined trajectory into the Superdome this February.
What is that feeling you have when your hero and erstwhile leader shows he isn’t made of the stuff you thought he was?
Feels kind of like the proverbial knife in the back. Feels a lot like betrayal.
(Before you read this I’d like to point out I’m an overly optimistic guy in this situation, and how often does Drew Brees throw 7 INT over a two game period?)
This guy is probably right, but I feel we’ve still got a shot for the wildcard. We are playing 4 teams that are beatable, and the NFL as a whole hasn’t had too many teams throw down dominant beat downs. While we dropped in the standings this week I feel that there is a good chance all of the other wild card teams fighting for the 6th spot will drop with us this week.
I’m thinking it will come down to NOLA/DALLAS/DC. If Brees returns to his Breesus ways over the next four games it will come down to a Sunday afternoon game between DC & Dallas to decide out fate. I’ll be a Cowboy’s fan that day.
I just hope the Rams don’t run the table and sneak in with that tie…

Saints
:(
I’m Stewie Say What (random league I joined to try out FFL, and it was initially Family Guy themed), and after this week I’ll be 8-3. That being said, half the guys in the league haven’t stuck with it. I average 91 points a week, and that mainly stems from sleeping through the draft. I set myself up to make sure I had Drew Brees(Ended up being the top player in the league!), Jimmy Graham, and Darren Sproles. Unfortunately I left the rest as “best available” so I didn’t get a good number 1 RB, and DS has been injured recently. Luckily I was able to pick up Owen Daniels during Jimmy’s injury time.
Just looking at current injuries, and how the other teams are doing I think I’ll end up finishing second. Not too bad for a mostly (bad) autodraft team.
The lame thing is that I had wanted to FFL the last few years, but my roommates never got into it… until I moved away. All in all, kind of a dick move when you throw in a couple other issues that came about the last couple years.
I guess the way I see it the Chiefs lead the game for brief moment. Those guys are bigger Chiefs fans than I’ll ever be, so I really don’t get why they wanted to defend the idea of them being the worst team in 83 years. I mean, according to the rules the game ends automatically when a team scores in OT, but the human element does cause a second or two to tick off the clock. facebook, so much fun.
How the Chargers’ last four drives ended.
Punt.
Punt.
Interception.
Sack/fumble.
Do you believe in Spags?
Four drives out of a game I do.

Come play FFL with us! We need a couple more people. Someone already took “The Saints” so I had to get creative for my team.
