Really? Is the regular fantasy season over so soon? No more wagging of heads? No more gnashing of teeth? Well isn't that a shame.Out of four leagues, I scratched my way to the playoffs in one. That's certainly better than none... but only by one. Here's that one:
*1.
*2. Chuck A Ducks 12-2-0
*3. The Dirty Jedi's 11-3-0
*4. Enigma 11-3-0
*5. Go Frenchy!! 10-4-0
*6. Tropical Depressions 10-4-0
*7. Anal Tongue Darts 9-5-0
*8. AllStar Chuck Norris 8-6-0
9. The Greasy Pablos 7-7-0
10. Ninerjunky08 7-7-0
11. mmmmmm..beer 6-8-0

18. I Miss Baseball 4-10-0
19. Blitzburgh 1-13-0
20. Pig Skins & Beer 1-13-0
Yup. Made the playoffs in the office Yahoo league. I've made these playoffs before, but I've never made it past the first round, so if I could at least do that, I'd be happy. I'd like to be happier, though... stay tuned. Oh, and by the way? I killed the giant! Defeated the 13-0 "San Diego Zoo!" Wahoo!
Meanwhile, in the "everyone" league? I got clobbered, and wound up in 3rd in my division. Tony and Nancy slugged it out for the wild card spot, and Nancy prevailed! For the second year in a row, she made it to the playoffs! Pretty cool, you ask me. See?

Robert? Joe? They didn't do so well. Surpsising since they usually do great. I'm sure it had something to do with the magnetic pull of the moon and the tides. I could explain it better with a pointer and an easel.
In the solo league? Clobbered again. I had a shot at the playoffs, but that tailspin in the last few games did me in. If I'd won that second-to-last game I coulda' lost the last one and still made the playoffs. Instead I went with a "Why not lose both games?" plan. Next time? I might not do that.

Yeah, wound up in third in my division here too. Dammit. I was in first for quite a while, and then comfortably in second... then things went south. Sigh. This must be how Peyton Manning feels... except for less wealthy.
Finally in the "Coulda' been a contender" league... man, what a disappointment. Undefeated for so long, only to finish second in my division and out of the playoffs.

Naturally that scenario I described a few weeks ago? The one and only way I could miss the playoffs? If I lost all of my remaining games and the teams behind me won out? If the first and second place teams in the other divisions hit just the right win/loss combination, thus driving me out of the wild card spot? Yeah, so that happened. Unbelievable.
So Nancy and I are enjoying a playoff run, which is pretty cool. Doing four leagues was definitely the way to go. Next year I'm sure I'm sure I can convince Nancy to do three, and I'll step up to five, and maybe we'll both make two playoff runs. I've started a list of up and coming gfantasy stars that I'll surely share with Nancy, and that she'll surely ignore while she kicks my ass in the drafts. She'll remind me on Sunday morning to "check my fellers," and Monday night we'll compare notes on who our new persoanl enemies are (this season's winners: Eli Manning and Rex Grossman) and you know? I'm looking forward to it already.
I'm ready for some football.
