LeagueStory x League Talk

We love to see the synergy, folks. Here’s a little treat for anyone who has listened to the pod. I got working on it as soon as I heard the idea mentioned, thanks roomie! You guys were definitely right in saying that the target score is well above 120 (see also “Distribution of Points with Wins and Losses”), but surprisingly wrong about Max being the one to win by the lowest average points. It’s actually Abie who’s the sneaky guy, who would have thought? Anyway, new Wire coming soon, as well as some other developments regarding the “image” of the brand going forward, Stay tuned…

The Wire ’21: Week 4

Yo yo. We had some stuff go on this past week, you were all there. You listened to the pod so you largely know if anything significant happened but here’s another recap for your face to look at:

We started off the week of new teammates with an interesting development – we had an Add/Drop before the waiver claims went through! Who knew that could happen? Not me, that’s for sure. I guess you can only drop in preparation for a later pick-up, thanks for the tip Bonez. Not sure how useful it really is but good to know. We’ll be seeing more of these in the future.

LeagueStory: Win Margins that Beat a Team’s Score for That Week

Since I won’t be able to bless y’all with The Wire until either tomorrow or Friday, I figured I should sate your ravenous appetite for League content until the pod drops with another amusing table of stats. It’s pretty self explanatory, a team beats another team by a large margin, that margin is bigger than the total score of another team that played that week. Sometimes it includes the team that created the margin itself, and I’m still not sure if this is a testament to the team that won or lost to create such a big margin, but these are the interesting and useless facts you’ve come to expect from us here at Must Be Sunday. Gotta go record, enjoy!

Power Rankings: Week 4

Chiefs' Tyreek Hill 'categorically denies' hurting son in letter to NFL — Tyreek Hill enjoys a nice postgame moment with his son Beans after dropping a 40 burger, leading the way for Jack to easily take their week 4 matchup

Damn, is it October already? The fantasy season is flying along at an alarming rate, and I can’t believe it’s already time to update this week’s power rankings. Feel’s like just yesterday I was analyzing the rosters post-draft. Fast forward to now and certain teams are riding high while others are completely dismantled – with plenty of teams falling somewhere in-between. I hope you’re all wondering where your team falls. If you aren’t and are just scrolling through to find Jack’s latest LeagueStory or whatever the fuck he’s got drummed up for us this week, well I’m disappointed. But I digress. Anyway, here we go…

Power Rankings: Week 3

Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen | Know Your Meme — Fresh off a 72 hour bender, Commissioner Vigs earns some much needed shut-eye after a statement victory in week 3, reminding everyone in The League who’s still Top Dawg

I apologize for posting this a few days later than normal. It’s been an absolutely crazy last 72 hours for your fearless leader, but I made a commitment to you all and there was no way in Hell I was allowing the power rankings to wait another day. Bear with me, my brain is still fried from getting Xuong’d in the early morning hours of Wednesday (I’ll explain what that means at a later date), so my attempts at humor may prove futile. Anyway, let’s jump start this weeks power ranking with our number 10…

The Wire ’21: Weak 3

Alright chucklefucks, I’m back in the office for the first time in probably a full week (that’s a lot for me) and of course I drank coffee way too late in the day and stretched an order of Dunkin hash browns across 6 hours (that’s 1 hashbrown per hour or hbph for those in a rush). Basically I did a bunch of useless shit in the office until I felt I had done enough to say I’ve been productive and then realized I was really hungry and dehydrated. Now I’m sitting here with a bunch of Chick-Fil-A and water, ready to crank this out and get to the gym for a bit before The Challenge comes on at 8. Hopefully my debaucherous roommate will be able to join me, I know he needs to take a load off (or maybe he’s done that enough already after last night). Hahahah alright I’m trying too hard to make jokes, analysis time:

An ode to Mike Williams

There comes a time in every man’s life when they have to block out the haters. In my case, this is a frequent occurance.

Recently, a lot of hate has been thrown my way for deciding to consistently start Chargers’ WR Mike Williams.

2 Wire 2 Furious: Here We Go

Zoom in for some fun. The same K-Diff and P-Diff you know and love, but with some extra info sprinkled on top.

Man oh man oh man. I tell you one thing though: it’s good to be back! We have an all new chart set-up to not care about, and a whole lot of reading to not read. I’m excited, hope you are too. If you’re just reading this as I’m posting, I’d probably go to sleep and start with this fresh in the morning. It’ll be like the morning paper, but better. Also, did you see that I’m listed as the author of this post instead of Beans? Plus I gave myself a cool ramen noodle avi, nothing to do with football. If you want to get your name in the author space, hit me up with an e-mail address and we’ll get you on the payroll. But I digress, let’s get into it:

LeagueStory: Here’s Another Fun Little Chart

(this is basically the sentiment of every post in this series)

This is one I’ve wanted to put together for a little while now and it was pretty easy so I’m glad I finally did it. Since we have almost 500 games under the collective belt of this illustrious League, I wanted to see if the frequency of points scored in a game adhered to Normal Distribution and created a Bell Curve (remember stats class?)
…and sure enough, it did 😀

Power Rankings: Week 2

Derrick Henry workout video insane Titans - Music City Miracles — Derrick Henry runs through a defender on the way to carrying Abie to the #1 spot in this weeks power rankings

Oh man, is it already time to update the Power Rankings? Chet YouBetcha it is. I always say that week two of the regular season is the most important game you play all season. A 2-0 start can springboard your fantasy team for a deep playoff run. An 0-2 start, you might as well pack your bags and start preparing for next season (or in our case for the standup stage). Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to face the embarrassment of an 0-2 start and fortunately for yours truly, I faced Max in a laugher and avoided that dreaded fate. The same can’t be said for everyone, however. So without further ado – let’s jump into this week’s rankings with our number 10 team….
