I'm not excited about my matchups this week. But God apparently wants me to win, so it will be done.

Which one of you is "What Would Palin Do" in the JV league? Cuz you're going MOTHERFUCKING DOWN this week.*
*Unless you win, in which case I will go back in time to edit this post, claiming how I knew all along how I was going to be having an off week at the most inopportune of moments.

That would be me. TBH, I'm just surprise I've made it this far with my WR core. I do think the winner of Team Whippy vs White Trash Zombies will be the one to take it all though. I don't think my team or Canton Redbirds can beat either of you next week.

But yah, I'd go with Whippy or WTZ to take the ring as it were.

I hereby retract my inappropriate trash talk towards you and fling it instead over to the Zombie camp. So, who are the White Trash Zombies? YOU ARE GOING DOWN, BIATCH!

I was wondering why I was being trash talked by you, but just figured you had the same amount of faith in my team this week that I do.

Lol, yeah, just trying to cover all bases. Getting into your head for a potential next weekend matchup. I'm like the Rex Ryan of JV Fantasy Football. Next, I'll be having Heamish trip you or something.

Gee, thanks Patriot offense. And thank you, media, for making me believe that David Garrard wouldn't even start.
Fuck. I need 20 points from Cutler playing on a giant hockey rink.

I'm going to have to root against you, Rasix, because I think I have a better chance against Roosters than your lineup. God, my team is crappier than the NFC West. I'm embarrassed to be in the final. Did I mention I'm in the final?

Brees, Greg Jennings, Colston, Ronnie Brown, Brandon Jacobs and Chad Cooley, with some other ancillary bits to switch out based on matchups. No one but Brees has consistently given me the points you would have expected.

I submit that there are teams that are bad, and teams that simply underperform. I think yours is the latter.
It's like Ray Rice (who I have in the JV league)...he's underperformed all year. That doesn't make him bad.
Or some other analogy.

Did I mention I'm in the final? I'm as amazed as you. The only running back that showed up on my team was sitting on my bench. But congrats on the win Haem and good luck.

Just looked at my bench scores from yesterday. Both Aaron Hernandez and Chad Cooley (my two TE's) put together more points than any other player on my team but Brees. That's why I keep saying my team sucks.

Fucking Cutler. Really, I don't deserve to win, but I certainly don't deserve to lose to Cutler.

I was about to say that you're still well within Culter's ability to generate negative points in a hurry.

Looks like 7v8 for the final which shows to me that this was pretty tight league. I wonder if we can jigger the scoring or lineup next year to spread it out a bit.

We could try to adjust QB scoring, as they tend to occupy all of the top spots. Funny enough, only maybe 2 or 3 go in the first round every year.
This was a pretty subpar year for super star offensive talent. 100 used to be an average score for a winner. This year, it's been a high.

This was a deep year for points in the NFL, and the stats bear that out. In 2009 removing the one outlier, the average projected rank of the top 25 point producers in our league was 65 when we started the season. That means in a 14 man league, you were getting to a lot of the heavy hitters in the 5th round. In 2010, the average projected rank of the top 25 point producers was 96. That means you were seeing top 25s in the 7th round and later, many of which were undrafted.

I wonder who mentioned this two years ago? Seriously, I'd drop thrown TD's to 4 points. It gives more value to position players.

If a player has an outstanding game, he gets extra points. I generally don't like that as much because dominant players become even more dominant, but it could make sense for QBs if we tweak the TDs down to 4.

I don't mind the randomness that the current scoring gives, I look at this league more as something to bullshit about rather than the ultimate commentary on my football acumen and penis size (that's what GearScore is for, amirite?). I'm cool with going to 4-points for thrown TDs, I think that's pretty standard. I'm leery of going to anything more unusual/complicated. We always have a few players who can't make the draft. And the more unusual your scoring system is, the more it hurts people who miss the draft (or people who don't spend tons of time on it).
No matter what system we use, I will vociferously talk shit about how my shitty team will beat everyone else next season as I have in the past!
