The Race For $250 Part 14

One more week. For some it can be an eternity, for some it can be quicker than a session of sexual intercourse.  And now, one week will determine the fate of 5 people.  Pat and Franco have locked their seat in immortality.  Sean, Kevin, and Ryan have all been cast aside to a pit of dispair.  But for a lucky few, namely, Anthony, Connor, Jim, Nick, and Tom, life is still in limbo. 

Week 13 Recap

Pat continued his dominance as he defeated the surprisingly back-tracking Franco. Connor was able to steer past Kevin. Ryan got his 3rd win by defeating Ant. Nick missed out on a clinching chance by losing to Jim big.  And Sean couldn’t get 7 from MJD as Tom advanced and eliminated Sean from playoff contention.  Now the rankings. Continue Reading »

The Race For $250

Here we are gentlemen. Two weeks left. Everything we have ever done, the choices we have made, the decisions we have foregone, the risks we took, the paths we turned away from, they all lead to this point. Ten of us began on this long journey. Two of us have reached the destination. One of us has fallen off the path and been eaten by bears. And that leaves seven of us. Seven boys going for two men spots. Nick and Ant have their fates in their own hands, but one thing we’ve learned this year, is that one man’s hands is another man’s feet. And that makes no sense, just like this season has. 

Week 12 Recap

Connor was able to move pass Ryan decisively.  Sean put a hurting on Franco with a 60 point victory. 135 points was not enough for the Shark Week as Anthony was able to but 137 on the slipping Deerhunters under Kev’s control.  Drew Brees led Pat past Jim. Nick put himself into a great position by pulling out a victory over Tom. Onto the Rankings:

  1. The Tyler Thingpens’ (1): He’s found a home at the top, and with Franco’s loss, he has pretty much assured himself of the top spot in this year’s playoffs. 
  2. Beard Lust (4): Nick reaches his highest point of the year, and at a good time. One more win would assure him a playoff spot, a justified reward for some harsh words aimmed at him in recent times.
  3. The East Falls King Spotters (2): A slight fall for Franco. A blowout, paired with a looming match up with the leagues top player don’t bode well. But he is capable of Shark Weeking the league at any moment, so an upset wouldn’t be all that surprising.
  4. Sucks in Advocates (8): Ant is a playoff team. Well if they started today, but he has to keep up his winning in order to lock up a spot. He’s thrived on my counting him out, so here’s to Ant, a guy I am gaurantee makes the playoffs! BWHAAHAH
  5. Hi, I’m John Elway (6): Sean put up big points in a big game at a big time. His points helped him surpass 3 guys to go to 5th in line. A huge match up this week.
  6. The Michael Barkann’s (9): 30 points short of 5th place, but a big match up this week will go along way to determining how things shake out.
  7. Wisconsin Deerhunters (7): A big loss that could be a sign of things to come, or a fluke.
  8. Team Haelle (3): A huge fall from the playoffs, but hope is not loss, but it will be a stiff climb.
  9. BAP All Stars (5): A string of tough losses puts Tom on the outside with only some wins and some luck available to get him into the playoffs again.
  10. Weed Whacker Burning Oil (10): impressively bad.

This Weeks Most Efficient GM:

Anthony Scorzetti left just one point on his bench this week, making him this week’s most effiecient GM. Congratulations.

Game of the Week:

Playoff implications aside, the top two teams play each other as The East Falls Kingspotters go up against the Tyler Thigpens’. Should be a high scoring affair.

HOW IT CAN END – A Look At Possible Season Outcomes

  •  Pat and Franco are in the playoffs.
  • Ryan is eliminated from the playoffs.
  • Two teams will be eliminated this week: The loser of Tom and Sean’s game, and the loser of Connor and Kevin’s game.
  • If Nick win’s he’s in the playoffs, and Jim is eliminated.
  • Winning out would give Ant the final spot. 
  • If Sean and Connor and Jim win out, and Ant goes 1-1, whichever one of those 4 have the most points will be the 4th team in, unless Nick loses his final two games, then the two of those five (Ant, Connor, Jim, Nick, Sean) with the highest point totals will be in.
  • Tom is in the same situation as Sean.

The Race For Money

There’s a colored fella who was voted as president. I think that fully explains the dismal year Connor’s team is having. 

Week 10 Recap

Scoring’s back! All this weeks winner’s reached triple digits (or missed it by 1 point.) Franco basically won his game by Friday morning. Sean used 6 tds from his RBs to finally cool the surging Tokinitz. Pat paid McKeever back for last year’s embarassment. Don’t look now, but Jim is coming on strong.  Tom went all PSU this week losing a seemingly gimmie game. Onto the rankings: Continue Reading »

The Race For The Amount I Should Get Paid For Coming Up With Clever Ways To Spend $250

The election was today. And thus I spent all day reporting and blogging on it for WHYY. Sucked. But it didn’t suck as bad as my fantasy football team.

Week Nine Recap

No upsets. Boring week. Everything went according to plan basically. All in all, this was probably the saddest week of fantasy football this season. 85 was the highest point total, and there was only one other score in the 80s. And it was the team Jim beat. Only one more week of byes. And there are still 6 teams in the playoff picture. Pat, Franco, Nick, Tom, Kevin, and Jim. The rest of us are just hoping we lose out for 1st pick. On to the rankings.

How Will The Phillies 09 Team Look?

I will venture to say that from Monday to Friday last week were the best 5 days of my entire life. From the time I got down to the parking lot Monday, to the pouring rains, to the day off Tuesday, the resumption Wednesday, that last slider from Lidge, to the all out pandemonium that was the celebration, to the day of recovering Thursday, all leading up to Friday’s legendary parade, it was the best. Nonstop smiles. But now that it’s all over and the glow is beginning to fade from my face, we are faced with the difficult task of looking forward.

A new GM is in place. Ruben Amaro Jr. has taken over for the great Pat Gillick. And his job is a tough one from the start. He is taking over the incumbent champions, and anything less than a repeat, while understandable, will be disappointing. What does he have going for him? Well Gillick will remain to adivse. The team is pretty sweet. The championship may have bought him some time in this city, probably three or four before the desire peaks again. And most importantly, he was #33 on the Phils, the same number as the great Ricky Ledee.

But the fact remains, this team has never been the most spend thrift. They spend more than most, but will never be the Mets or Yanks. So that means the team we’ve all come to know and love won’t look the same next opening day. So who leaves? Who returns? Who comes in? Well here’s the Awesome Fucking Sports look into the future: Continue Reading »

OH MY!

My god. I remember very well when a stadium full of Philly fans cheered as Michael Irvin laid motionless on the turf.  And yet there are people who feel “disrespected” and “apalled” that Chase Utley, the most “Philly” athlete in the last 15 years say “fuck.” Well fuck you if you are offended.  He’s the man. It was the coolest moment of the parade. All you parents who all the sudden are like “what am I gonna tell my kid when they ask what that word means?” I’ll tell you what you do. You bring them to your room, and let them watch you do things to your wife that will leave them scarred for life. That way they’ll know how special being the world fucking champions really is.
