LeagueStory: Historical Win Grid through Week 2, 2021

Now that everyone has at least one win, I decided to put this little grid together to show who you’ve won against (and conversely, who you’ve lost against).

Some things to notice:
– The only active shutout is held by Kris, with 4 wins against Max and 0 losses. Will we see a continuation of this trend in Week 4? Or will Max break the streak?
For what it’s worth, in the two seasons Lebron was active he was shut out by Brendan (3-0) and myself (2-0), so these things happen. Here’s the chaser, Max:
– The most frequent match-up has been Me vs. Max (9 games), in which I’ve dropped 7 of them. I know for sure one of my 2 wins was in a no-stakes consolation game in the playoffs, but it seems Max always knows how to put another tick in my loss column. Way to go, see ya Week 5.
– The second-most frequent match-up of Abie vs. Brendan is currently neck and neck with 4 games won on each side. This leads me into the handful of other historical match-ups that currently sit at even:
3-3: Max & Vigs
2-2: Me & Brent, Abie & Kris, Vigs & Ryan, Brent & Max

And that’s about all she wrote as of now. I’ll be maintaining this list as I have with everything else in the Must Be Sunday Universe, at the expense of my actual job and CPA exam studying. For now, enjoy looking at and discussing this little piece of LeagueStory, as well as strategizing how you can put that next win in the books!

The Wire: Week 1, 2021

and Introducing… LeagueStory (/ligstəri/)

Okay before I answer any questions I want to acknowledge the death of Michael K. Williams, as a prominent cast member of the show that this column takes its namesake from, I’d be remiss to not mention the tragic circumstances that led to his early exit from the Earth. Rest in power, Professor Kane (his character in Community, I never saw The Wire). Also would like to say that I’m particularly saddened by the passing of Norm MacDonald, a comedian on and off the field and someone who I try to emulate in many of my not-nearly-as-funny real life observations and so-called “jokes”.

Power Rankings: Week 1

Tyler Lockett celebrates after one of the many ass fuckings he delivered Commish Andrew Vigs

God, what a week it was in the fantasy world. After a 255 day wait, Thursday morning finally arrived and I turned into a 6 year old boy waking up on Christmas morning again, excited for what the week and season would bring. That feeling lasted until about 7:00 on Sunday after I got the shit kicked into me by Jack’s three headed monster known as Tyreek Hill-Deebo Samuel-Tyler Lockett. Whatever, its one week. No team in NFL history sans the ’72 Dolphins has run the table and neither has a proud franchise in The League — so I was bound to lose eventually. Might as well get it out of the way early.

Preseason Power Rankings: Post Draft

Dalvin Cook looks to lead Marzy & Me to fantasy dominance in the upcoming 2021 campaign

Folks, we made it. The long trip around the sun between fantasy drafts has come and gone. The beer flowed, empanadas were devoured and a good time was had by all — except if you needed a QB in round 12 (I’ll get into that later). But the fun part is now over and its time to strap in for a long 17 week season. As you all know, this season I’ll be providing a new weekly column for all fans of The League, power ranking the teams and providing my heavily sought after and unbiased advise and analysis on all the rosters and decision making week by week. So, without further a do, let’s jump right into the preseason power rankings with our number 10:

Beans Corps Official Response to Preseason Power Rankings

I wasn’t going to do this. I didn’t think I needed to. The results speak for themselves. Don’t they? I only read the article itself once but the words are engraved in my brain like my home phone number, my mother’s birthday or how many red zone receptions Miles Sanders has had the last two years. Yeah, you’re all in big trouble

Throwback Tuesday!

Starting in the playoffs in Week 14, instead of +/-1 for a win or loss, I did it in the following way:

Losers’ Bracket = +0.5/-1.5
Winners’ Consolation Bracket = +1.25/-0.75
Winners’ Bracket = +1.5/-0.5
Bye Week = +2
Championship Win = +5

We Back

You know that song “The Boys are Back in Town?” Of course you do. Whatever band wrote that song wrote it about The League. Thin Lizzy or something like that. I’m not going to look it up. We doing it live!

The League is back and it’s back in a big way. Ten teams, half PPR, one QB. Fantasy played the right way.

The Wire Week 10: Better Late Than Never

What’d you think I wasn’t gonna find time to do the write-up this week? I almost didn’t, but luckily I ran out of work to do at 3 on a Friday which is great. I’m gonna take a nap after this. We had A LOT of Double Whammies this week, which doesn’t really mean anything but we like to see everyone making good moves. Unfortunately, there will still be an Ugly section this week because there were some blunderful blunders made as well. Let’s talk to it:

Look Back At It: Week 9

Just kidding, we miss it though! What is there an election going on or something? Nobody wants to only read this, it’s a supplement to the game recaps either in podcast or article form. By the way, who’s working on the article analyzing all the trades from this season? And does anyone want to write this for me next week? I promise there aren’t a lot of players who got bidded on and I’ll even send you the charts. Let me know! Anyway, let’s get it started in here:
