Christian McCaffrey is Going to San Francisco and I’m Growing a Mustache

“I’mmmmmm going throughhhh chaaaanngeeessss.” – Christian McCaffrey and me.

Wow! The former first overall fantasy pick and I are really going through earth shattering life transitions at the same time. Mr. McCaffrey is moving to San Francisco and I’m growing a mustache.

The Wire: Week 6 2022

Now THIS, this is the Wire I like to see folks. Three of five games were close enough that these roster moves could be said to have made (almost) all of the difference between a sweet dub and a lowly L.

Before we get into it, I wanted to use my platform to say my piece on the Taysom Hill debate: The fact of the matter is that half of The League bid on this player, and because of this it’s hard for any of them to deny that whoever won the auction would not have played him in the TE spot. After all, that’s the only spot ESPN is allowing him to be played in. It’s also worth repeating that there was no talk of him being “ineligible” until after Ryan had already spent the money, which is unfair to him and anyone else who might have won the auction had different offers been made. I don’t know if it’s easy to manually adjust FAAB, but if Andrew as the Commish is using executive power to disallow Ryan from slotting Hill in the TE spot then he should definitely be compensated the amount he spent. I personally think he should be allowed to play him, the Saints are kind of a mess so if you want to take that risk then go for it. That’s why I didn’t bid. I applaud Ryan for making a smart move with his FAAB in a season where he’s already a favorite for the belt, hope we can all level up like that.

The Ballad of Owen

Hell, USA — Pain. What more can truly be said?

At this point, I don’t know if I have to vocabulary to describe the way things are going. Losing is nothing new for me. In fact, I’ve been talking Ls since Day One (I have three in my name).

LeagueStory x GroupMe: The Story So Far…

Here’s the part where I tell you “I stand corrected”. I woke up this morning to a GroupMe message from our Commish stating that he though this was the worst season ever for The League through six weeks. I’m thinking to myself, “I’m doing pretty well so far, Herbert didn’t get me as much as I would have liked this week but I still beat Brent. What’s this guy talking about?” I went on to reply with a hilarious GIF from the movie Billy Madison, oh my God that is funny, implying I thought my former roommate was wrong. I crunched the numbers, and it turns out that I’M the one who was wrong. Take a look:

Should Taysom Hill Be Permissible As A TE?

The following column is a direct email that was sent by yours truly, Ryan (aka Marzy), owner of The Martians, to all other league managers. The original email content was not altered in anyway.

To give some context on the developing story, I bid $11 FAAB on Taysom Hill Tuesday night to pick him up off waivers and add him as a part of my team, with the intention of potentially playing him in the flex spot as a second TE. Due to past events and the nefarious tyranny of The Commish (aka Andrew) I have been told that I cannot start Taysom Hill as a TE, only QB, which has me bewildered considering ESPN Fantasy Football, the New Orleans Saints, and the NFL all consider him a TE. This decision by The Commish to not permit Taysom Hill as an acceptable TE was made after he was on my team and I have yet to have my $11 FAAB returned to me.

The Wire: Week 5 2022

Mfw it is Wednesday my dudes:

We had some fun this week fellas, and by we I mean me because I didn’t lose to Owen. There were two games that were pretty close that we’re gonna talk about but first I’ll reiterate something that was said on the podcast last week: Almost everyone got who they bid on, so y’all spent too much again. There was one competitive bid after the initial Tuesday-Wednesday rush that could have had some big implications on the week, let’s get into it.

LeagueStory x LeagueTalk: Redux

Ohhhhh boy. Ohhhhhhhhhhh God. I don’t even know what to say right now. Should I be upset that the Pod thinks my team is bad? Should I laugh at them for not realizing Breece Hall has been in the top 20 RBs for the past few weeks and is only going up from there? Should I remind you I’ve done this before? Should I give you a history lesson? What should I do?

The Wire: Weeks 3 & 4 (2-for-1 SPECIAL)

Alrighty, I’ve got a lot to go over and some new stuff to talk about so we’re keeping the Wire talk pretty brief. In Week 3, everyone got who they bid on except for me who wanted the Saints Defense. It would not have mattered because I got whooped by Ryan the fantasy football Gawd. This is to say that aside from Brent and anyone who bid only $1 and got their guy, y’all spent TOO MUCH. We’ll see if that comes back to bit ya later in the season.

LeagueStory x League Talk: Worst 2-Week Runs

This is long overdue, much like The Wire which will be coming out some time early-ish this week, but I mentioned I would look into the archives and see if anyone has had a worse two week stretch than Beans’ start to the current season. The Corporation scored 151.6 over the course of these two weeks, a total which may not even guarantee you a win if scored in only one week (see the first graph at https://mustbesunday.com/2021/09/15/the-wire-week-1-2021/).

Cuck of the Week – Week 3 (Revenge of the Cuck)

Good Afternoon Cucks and Cuckettes,

Before we get started, I would just like to say, I’m sorry. I know I missed the first two weeks of cuckings. Some may speculate that I did not write those cuck of the weeks because I was the cuck. But I’m here to clear the air…..jk, those who think that are completely right. Sue me, Idc, my *roommates* dad is a lawyer.
