LeagueStory x LeagueTalk: Part ??

Above is a comparison of the current tenants of 149 Sullivan Street in two different years, posted today in order to celebrate my return to the famous apartment following my brief time on the COVID reserve list. I’m just now listening to the pod (and I know I’m quite late again on The Wire) and I forgot about how dominant of a season my man #DaCommish had back in 2019. Looking at the numbers it seems like through 13 weeks, I’ve had higher totals scores and win margins in the current year, but Vigs didn’t pick up his second loss until the last week of the regular season. This makes my 2 game losing streak stand out like an ugly sore thumb, but then again I didn’t lose by almost 80 points. Interestingly our total points were much closer through 12 weeks (I still had a slight edge), but as you can see we had very different performances in Week 13, so that made the true difference up to this point. Will I follow my roommate to the glory of the championship? We’ll find out in time. Thanks for caring!

Power Rankings: Week 13 (Tier List Part 2!!!!)

Swagger Back Video Clips - Find & Share on Vlipsy — Da Commish gives a passionate post game interview after defeating HOCKEYPRO69 and clinching his 3rd playoff appearnace in 4 years

I think I got my swagger back. Ohhhhh. Ohhhhhhh. The fantasy playoffs are almost here and I’m as giddy as a little schoolboy. Plus, I also clinched a spot in the postseason. Go me! Anyway, since I enjoy writing these shorter Tier Lists better than the full team Power Rankings, I figured I’m just going to keep doing it. Don’t like it? Fuck you, pay me. I do this shit for the love of The League, fantasy football and your enjoyment. Oh, and the belt. I’m bringing that shit home.

The Wir3-Parter: Post- Thanksgiving Extravaganza

In the immortal words of Tommy Pickles, “Hold onto your diapies, babies. We’re going in!”

Wow, it’s been quite a while hasn’t it? I forget exactly what kept me from doing Weeks 10 on time, possibly work, but then the obvious Thanksgiving break came up for Week 11 and I suddenly found myself with COVID and nearly three weeks behind on my column. I’m really trying to keep this short as we all ease our way back into the content-sphere and gear up for the final weeks of the regular season. You can see every add and drop that went on for almost a month above, so I’ll just run through the highlights of each week. You can look for your name and see if there’s a green (good job) or a red (bad job) if I don’t mention ya below:

Power Rankings: Week 12 (Tier List!!)

MY FAVOURITE SCENES #8] – Requiem for a Dream – Benrhayward — A #dead Commish weeps silently at the memory of his once proud winning streak. Wins are now hard to come by.

What up folks? Hope everyone’s Thanksgiving went better than mine. Considering I was the lowest scoring team for the 3rd time in 4 weeks, its not hard to believe that yours wasn’t. I am sad. But, I wanted to keep things fresh and interesting on the blog (coupled with the fact that I don’t want to dive too deep into my team’s pathetic performance), so I figured I’d do this week’s Power Rankings a little differently. Introducing, Da Commish’s Official Tier List. Similarly, to the Official Power Rankings, this tier list will highlight each team’s strengths and flaws, while allowing for a quick comparison and grouping of teams into similarly ranked tiers. Honestly, I’m just doing things differently this week to prevent me from jumping off the deep end. I know, it’s sad that fantasy football has ruined my life. But this is the life we’ve chosen.

Power Rankings: Week 11

If it involves family food and football count me in iPhone 6/6S Case | Hatsline.com — Ditto

Gobble-gobble, motherf*ckers. Turkey day is finally here, my 2^nd favorite holiday after Draft Day of course! Back in 1492 or whatever when God created Thanksgiving, he did so to celebrate the 3 F’s: family, food, and football. However, I don’t think even God could’ve predicated that a fourth F would quickly come along and trump the importance of the other 3 combined. I’m speaking of course about fantasy. This Thanksgiving, I’d like to quickly reflect on why I’m so thankful for fantasy. It has given me so many great memories of random NFL games over the years I would otherwise have no interest in. It has taught me the importance of personal finances and budgeting, particularly as it relates to FAAB. It has bought me my single most prized possession, the belt, which I rightfully earned as your 2019 Fantasy Champion, only to relinquish to Brent last year. I’ve been on a quest to get it back ever since. Most importantly, however, is that this “game” has kept me connected as a part of all your lives, for better or worse, for the better part of a decade now. Sure, we may now all live scattered across the tri-state area and no longer see each other with the frequency I would like, but I know where to find y’all come Sunday’s at 1:00 in the fall. I’ve got a lot of shit to do and not a lot of time to do it so I’m going to keep this one rather short….

Power Rankings: Week 10

This is Mike Geisicki. In case you didn’t know, he scored 0 points on Thurday. I am sad.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH. The Sunday Scaries turned ever scarier for several League members in Week 10. It seems that myself, Brent and Abie are falling apart at the most inopportune time, while League bottom feeders Max, Ryan, Kris and Brendan are peaking simultaneously. Suddenly, everyone’s in the mix (except Brad but we’ll discuss him more later) and the waning weeks of the regular season are more important than ever. This is honestly when The League is at its best, when everyone has shit to play for and we all live and die with every point, every yard and every score change. Anyway, we’re all gearing up for what should be the greatest stretch run in LeagueStory with seemingly 9 teams in the mix for 6 playoff spots. Let’s do this…

Look Back At It: Draft Edition

We are past the halfway point of the season. Good news for me, bad news for people who have fun playing fantasy football. Make it stop, please. Since we are more than 50% of the way through the season, I think it would be fun to look back at the draft and see what went right and what went wrong. Spoiler – if your name starts with the letter B everything went wrong.

The Wire x LeagueStory: An Investigative Report Regarding Week 9

In the words of Tom Wambsgans, “Buckle up, fuckleheads!” We had quite the week of close games, which have been discussed ad infinitum in the last few days on the Pod and in the Power Rankings. Obviously, I look at things a little differently and have a trove of stats and charts at my disposal, so get ready to relive the highs and lows of Week 9 and maybe learn something along the way…

Power Rankings: Week 9

Tyler Boyd, seen here running with the football after catching a pass… something he couldn’t manage to do on Sunday while in Da Commish’s starting lineup

**Disclaimer: The bottom 5 spots of the power rankings were written before the MNF game under the assumption that the ESPN projections were accurate and that I would beat Kris. I’m too lazy to re-write what I already have and the result of our game has not changed the rankings whatsoever, so enjoy.**

The Wire ’21: Better L8 Than Never

I’m really gonna try and make this short and sweet because let’s face it, there’s already a ton of content recapping what went down last week and even this week and it’s Friday then, it’s Saturday Sunday WHAT.

In terms of close match-ups, there was only one in Week 8: Kris vs. Brent. As always, it was a good showing from both sides, with Brent edging out the victory. This was thanks in part to Cousin Greg Josephs (12 points) and Joe Burrow ($3, 20.26 points). Kris was actually beat out by one measly FAAB dollar for Ohio’s native son, although Josh Allen’s near-30-burger was pretty much all you can ask for. Still, there’s been situations in the past where someone’s picked up a player that another team needs just to keep their opponent that week from having them. Who’s to say that if Kris outbid the reigning champ, Matt Ryan would be making a start for the Flandrews and only dropped 6 points? We’d be singing quite a different tune, and Joey B wouldn’t be my starter for Week 9. It’d still be Tua Time, a simpler time… Further, Kris made another savvy move by picking up Cole Beasley for an 11 point surplus ($5, 16 points, you know the drill).
