Fantasy League - Rumblings Premier League - Fleaflicker
I would just like to take this opportunity, on a slow Tuesday of Bills coverage, to announce to the general public that Kurupt's two-year run of fantasy football terror has come to an end.
We've done fantasy football leagues here at Rumblings for three years now, and in the "Rumblings Premiere League," our beloved Editor had taken the championship for two years running.
This year, his team was thoroughly and deliciously mediocre 6-8. He succumbed to The Schrutebucks (currently a thoroughly and deliciously mediocre 7-7), captained by yours truly, in the first round of the RPL playoffs. It was his third loss to The Schrutebucks this season.
I'd like to thank both Ryan Grant and karma for making this fantasy football season possible. To Kurupt - may your courageous fantasy troopers never clutch another Rumblings FF trophy.

Completely arrogant, Brian.
On a related note I’m in the final four of my Fleaflicker league. This week BillsFly48 and I go head to head for the right to play in the championship game next week vs. the winner of keysh and JohnHIL in week 16.
On another related note, Aaron Rodgers. Please don’t go out and be as bad this week as you were last week. I don’t think the Eagles D and Brandon Marshall can each score over 30 points again to bail your butt out.

Dude. He won two championships. I swept him. I deserve this moment of glory.

He was the only one not present for 9/10’s of the draft. =) His team did great in the context of things.

He KILLED me, I had him in instead of Eli, who I figured would toss a ton of picks
Instead Rogers made the 2009 Bears D look like the Super Bowl Shuffle Bear’s D.

Who?
You just sealed your fate for this week Brian. Hope it was worth it!
You should thank Ryan Grant and Kurt Warner.

I would not have done it if it was not worth it. Very, very worth it. :)
I probably sealed my fate beyond just this week, too. Karma, after all. Still worth it.

wow
maybe our Buffalo Bills can get over the hump and beat a new england team just as you beat your nemesis.
I’m not sure it would be as epic.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. - Peter Gibbons

His team name is Pu Pu Platter….
And my team in this league sucked really bad….
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
It's actually the Pu Pu Pu Platter
As my hero, Brak, told me:
You know, everybody at one time or another has enjoyed that wonderful Oriental delight, the Pu Pu Platter. Well, today I’m gonna go one step better and prepare Brak’s Special Pu Pu PU platter. You notice there’s an extra pu there. It’s the extra pu that makes all the difference! I could have taken the easy road and did a Pu Platter, but who wants a platter with just one pu? I’ve found that even the conventional two-pu platter leaves one a little bit – how should I say it – unfulfilled. I trust you’ll find that’s not the case when you experience the thrill of an extra pu.

Shiva?
Bill Polian and AJ Smith are gone, so there's not the usual balance between "sane" and "others." Ralph has mentally checked out since 1994. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Great show

Yes, fantastic. And it got picked up for a second season – 13 episodes.

That’s good news. I thought it just looked OK in the previews leading up to the season, but since it’s after one of my very favs, always sunny in philadelphia, I gave it a shot and am glad I did.

That last episode of The League was crazy. When they were all in her apt and he started freaking out starting to yell SHEEVA. hahaha that show is great
"I don't know how to explain it but we seem to find eachother on the ice and make things happen... Yeah. Pass, shoot, score... Yeah. Pass.. Shoot.. And score."
haha, I loved how the one guy used his roadside service, AAA thing to get free tows when he was drunk. Brilliant.

Will we keep the same league teams next year?
I like the idea of this, but i’m guessing it already hasn’t gone that way.

well i lost in the first round of playoffs in my league thanks to starting Randy Moss and playing against both Brandon Marshall and Ray Rice.
Ray Rice is franchise material. He’s the best RB on my team, and I have AP. AP has been a big disappointment and it’s all because of the new greatest show on turf there in Minnie.

As a fellow rumbler that fell victim to Warner and the Cards last night...I feel for ya K!
4 pts shy of playoffs…. :(
They are hard to play but not hard to beat.
- Mike Lombardi on the Buffalo Bills
Something makes me think you’re going to regret this next year Brian.
League 4 is in a real dogfight – everyone is pretty evenly matched. Round 1 of the playoffs had both games won by 5 points or less.

Yeah, I really crapped the bed in that league. On a side note (and I’m not prone to complaining at all) but the scoring in that league is far too QB heavy. The top 19 scorers are QB’s…and Matt Ryan was the 24th highest scoring player.

I dunno, I just used the scoring rules given to me by Brian.

What I want to know is
How did I have the highest scoring team in the league, and not make the palyoffs. Seriously?
In my league I had the 2nd highest scoring team in the league but also had the most points scored against me in the league. :(
Just our luck?

The funny thing is
In the other league I was in I had by far the best team, and I lost in the first round of the palyoffs. Just not my year for fantasy.

I love good fantasy trash talk.... it makes the league fun.

I know I promised to keep everyone apprised of the league, but work and life circumstances have limited my time. I just didn’t want anyone to think that I avoided the updates due to my team’s performance… Currently I hold the #1 seed in the playoffs and face the might Schrutebucks this week.

Random? I think the winners of the other leagues should get an automatic bid to compete with the “best”

Last year’s winners got auto-invites, and the league was filled out after that by random draft.
