2012 Subsim Fantasy Football Reports

[Gut Wrench]

SPANK THE MONKEYS.
There's a new contender in town.


Week One in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the teams head once again into battle for the coveted Torpedo Bowl. We didn't talk very much about them in the preseason, indeed, we were even wondering if Coach Mookie was going to take a new approach, and in the first game of the season, the Ghost Monkeys come out and spank the Reapers 137 - 72.

Wow, a 65 point win with the first league high score of the year.

Is this the year of the gun-slinging quarterbacks? You might think so as the opening game of the year was the Wild Boston terriers playing at Every Given Sunday. Both teams are former divisional winners, and EGS have been the sneaky "back door" team. It was the Terriers Aaron Rogers who got the win, but it was Drew Brees of EGS that had the better point night. And their defense was just as impressive, the Terrier playing the Bears for 27 points and EGS playing the Raven for 25 points. However a turning point in the game was Nate Kadeing of EGS who on the opening kick off, chipped his toenail polish and is out for the year with a hang nail.

In his first year as the Coach of the Delaware Destroyers, Growler was up against another new team to the league, the Black Cats. Even with Steve Smith - not that one that hasn't done squat for the last two years, but his alter ego showed up to play and ended the day with 178 yards and 2TD's. The Destroyers jump out as the leading team in the Surface Skimmers division.

Even the International game was surprising. Mr. Chris with his London based team has owned the Australian Taipans since both teams first joined the league - except for this week. The Taipans had no exceptional players, but everyone was scoring, as the Taipans bit the Nighthawks 126 - 63. The game was a lot closer despite the Taipans outscoring the Nighthawks 2-1.

In the closest game of the week, two of the heavyweights of the league met again, as the did in the play offs last year. Coach Rick is clearly the master of the league, while Coach Jon of the BP Badasses, last years biggest team (does that make them Big Assess?) tricked everyone and played Austine Collie...for a total of no points. Had he had any other receiver on the field other than the Invisible Collie, the Dragons may not have stolen this one 85 - 52.

Coach Casey with his new team the Guns of Hochuli were up against one of the other newcomers, Coach Chris and the Nutcruchers. And even though his team slogan claims his team couldn't beat it's way out of a paperbag, their QB Tom Brady showed that 517 yards and 4TD's is not enough to get the win. Coach Casey drop the Nutcrunchers 117 - 89.

It may only be week one but next weeks game between the Wild Boston Terriers and the Ghost Monkeys is the feature game. The two big points scorers of week one see Aaron Rodgers against Josh Freeman...provided Mookie doesn't trade him away first. The winner will become the divisional and league leader.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For achieving 8 receptions for 160 yards and 2 receiving TD's for a total of 33 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Wes Walker of the Guns of Hochuli with the Week One MVT.

I faired better than I hoped for. My team is somewhere in the pack and that is a good thing. I have some player shifting this week. :DL

[Growler]

I'm not disappointed with the team so far. Going to have to do a little homework, and some careful review, but overall, I'm fairly pleased with the performance of the team. The coaches are going to have a little chat with Ocho, though. For a player who likes to be the center of attention, to call his 1.7 points "disappointing" is like calling genocide a minor social aberration. Amendola's been dropped by over 2000 teams as of this morning, and he's still got six times the points Ocho's got. Kyle and Tony have got to hang on to the ball, and remember who they're throwing it to, but their performance wasn't bad - which is saying something in a week where Brady throws for a third of a mile.

The Destroyers were carried on the strength of some great performances, but it's time for a review of some of the less stellar ones for potential improvement.

:har:


Looking at the my raw numbers I'm quite pleased. Two player moves showing good numbers from last week that did not add to my total overall score should prove to be favorable.

I think the Pats are sending a message to Ocho. Showboating is for other teams. Welker was the the man of the hour.

I polled the numbers. If my benched guys were active I would have 107 points. :O: It's a numbers game and a long season brother. Injury sidelining players. It could go either way. :03:

No matter. Brady still a threat. This is proven by the line of coaches at the FF site looking to trade several players for just Brady. :O:

[Growler]

Brady threw for 500+ yards - If that doesn't paint an even bigger bulls-eye on a guy's back, I dunno what could. Sure, he's a hot property right now - but that was game one of the season, there's a long way to go, and Brady's no spring chicken anymore. Those few sacks that will eventually get through are going to start taking more of a toll than they have in the past.

I have good back up. :D Ryan Fitzpatrick if all goes as planned. The other teams will suffer from injury as well. It is the nature of sport.

HOW HIGH CAN YOU SCORE?
Don't ask Tom.


Week Two in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and how come someone didn't point out the error in title of this thread? A check of the copy room reveals Bernard was working that night.

The early game, the big shoot out between Tom Brady of the of the Nutcrushers and Phillip Rivers of the Australian Taipans. Last week, it was Coach Mookie who said

Hard to count on Brady throwing for 500 yds and 4 TDs each week. :03:Brady was off his game and only threw for 423 yards and 3 TD's this week. At the post game conference, it was evident that Tom upset.

"I throw 3 TD's and Anquan Brown, Jacoby Jones and Derick Mason can't catch one?"

Really Tom? Cussing out your team in week two? Disharmony in the Nutcruchers see them fall to the Australian Taipans 79 - 121.

The anticipated top of the table clash between the Wild Boston Terriers and the Ghost Monkeys lived up to expectations, and a new season record. In a league when a win would be expected if your score 95 points, the 108 by the Terriers wasn't enough as Mookie and the Ghost Monkeys asserted themselves as the leagues premier team, racking up 152 points. :o What a difference a year can make, when Mookie had the first half of season decided by less a point, to turn around and lay siege. The Ghost Monkeys step out as the #1 team in the league.

After an embarrassing loss last week, Mr Chris and the Helmand Nighthawks went home to London and regrouped. With no film on the newest team to the league, the Delaware Destroyers, this was the other high scoring game of the week. Unfortunately, like what happened in the Bills/Raiders game, the television broadcast left the game at 4th and 1 with 37 seconds to play, and no one got to watch the thriller of the week as the Nighthawks romped home. Final score Nighthawks 137 Destroyers 119.

Bookmakers in Vegas have again lowered the odds of Coach Rick and the Dragons to win the Torpedo pool after they quietly advanced to 2-0 with a win over Every Given Sunday 137 - 98. It didn't help that EGS Kicker, Nate Kading started the game in the local hospital with his foot in a cast. Still, even though Kading scored 0 for EGS, the Ravens defence was only marginally better with 2 points. The Dragons match up next week in the game of the week against the Wild Boston Terriers, a rematch of the championship game a few years ago.

In a surprising game, Coach Pit started WR Brandon Lloyd and TE Mercedes Lewis for a grand total of...no score. One can only wonder what might have been in t e game against the Bad Asses. Badasses win in a (relative) low scoring game, 97 - 82.

The closest game of the week was Coach Casey taking his new team, the Guns of Hoculli to an ealry lead and waiting out the Black Cats and their Giant defense in the last game of the week. The Cats came within 4 points of winning the game with a late defensive touchdown, but the Giants were unable to hold the opposition to less than 7 points. Final scored, the Guns of Hoculli 110, the Black Cats 101.

As the league heads to week 3, 4 teams are looking for the first win and four teams remain undefeated at 2-0.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For achieving 9 receptions for 143 yards and 3 receiving TD's for a total of 39 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Miles Austin of the Helmand Nighthawks with the Week Two MVT.

[mookiemookie]

I was tired of losing by 1 point every week last year, so I decided to get the blowout win award every week this year. It was a brilliantly simple plan, really. :know:

[AVGWarhawk]

:haha: seems to be working!

THREE THRILLERS
But no win for Tom or Tony.


Week Three in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and Tom Brady of the Nutcrunchers can pass for half a mile and 4 TD's and still loose, but if you want thrillers hanging on Monday Night, look no further than Tony Romo of the Delaware Destroyers playing in the low scoring slugfest of the week.

Before we look at this weeks game, lets get the important information out there straight away.

DONATE TO SUBSIM.

And now back to the games.

Pertpetual candass quarterback Tony Romo of the Delaware Crunchers, needed everything he had on the last game of week. The Delaware Destroyers were trailing the Australian Taipans and looked set to upset the #2 ranked team after the Taipans QB Phillip Robers choked earlier. Needing just a measley 9 points, their victory rested on the supposedly punctured lung and bruised ego of Tony Romo. With less than 2 minutes to go, Coach Growler opted to have Romo ...hand off the ball. Taipans win with the low score of 68.92 - 61.85.

The second thriller of the week belong to the Ghost Monkeys (2-0) and the BP Badasses. The Asses were trailing The Mokeys after Kenny Brit broke his ankle, leaving the team perched precariously looking at their first loss. Jason Whitten was the sole remaining member of the Monkeys to play, but the Badasses had two wide receivers and slowly caught enough catches to pull away. In the final quarter of the week, the Basasses showed their flesh parts and slowly mooned the Monkeys to win by 9 points. Final score, Badasses 103 Ghost Monkeys 94.

The third thriller of the week was the celler dweller battle of the Nutcrunchers and the Black Cats. Coach AVG Warhawk was thinking that his lead by Terrific Tom and his 387 yards was enough, but when your opposition is Big Ben, no win is assured.

"Don't you have some woman to assault?" Coach Warhawk exclaimed at the end of the game, preferring not to shake hands but to flip off Big Ben. Roethlisberger is listed as probable for next week with hurt feelings, as the Black Cats get their first win 96.23 - 93.19

The surprise winner of the weekend was Coach Casey with his new team, the Guns of Hocculi. Against the traditional high scoring team of Mr Chris and the Helmand Nighthawks, the Guners (or is it the Hockers?) hold the Nighthawks down to earn another surprise win, while moving to the top of the league at 3-0. Next week they play away against a set of Badasses.

Slowly and quietly, Coach Rick and the Dragons have slithered to 3-0 and lead the Subsimmers by one game. The Dragons were matched against the high powered Wild Boston Terriers, but the Dragons were too strong on the arm of Matthew Stafford and the hands of Calvin Johnson.

"See my first year QB," Coach Rick beamed after the game. "We're aiming for 4," as the Dragons head away to play the Black Cats.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For a convincing win aganst Every Given Sunday (what's happened to them this year?) achieving 254 yards and 4 passing TD's for a total of 27 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Eli Manning of the Reapers with the Week Three MVT.

After this last week's performance, I've half a mind to fire the entire team and take this year's ticket revenues to a small island somewhere warm.

[mookiemookie]

A moment of silence, please, for Kenny Britt's ACL. :damn:

Man, my WR's crapped the bed this week.

RODGERS RECORDS
...everything but a win.


Week Four in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and for the second time in two weeks, the Australian Taipans have been in a thriller with the Wild Boston Terriers.

We'll get to that game after this public service announcement..

DONATE TO SUBSIM... OR THE TERRORISTS WIN.


Seven days ago the Taipans were in front holding onto their lead. This week they had to do it the hardest way possible, against a record breaking score. Aaron Rodgers of the Wild Boston Terriers came out in the second half of the weekend and lit up the scoreboard, scoring 4 touchdowns, 2 rushing touchdowns and 408 yards. Along with his accomplice Greg Jennings the duo scored 71 points of the WBT total score. The Terriers held a narrow lead before the Taipans ran the Jets defense on to the field.

"We got lucky and and all the points scored against us, were credited to the offense," Coach Pioneer said.

The Taipans snuk ahead with a defensive TD, and late Monday night, Reggie Wayne put the game out of reach. Taipans move to 4-0, and Coach McBee was seen leaving the stadium kicking a trash can down the street.

Want another record - it's not that old, you only have to look back at Week 2 to the Ghost Monkeys who scored 154 points against the WBT. This week, the Monkeys made a meal of the 0-3 Nutcrunchers, racking up 166 points, certainly the most points I have ever seen in a game. However the Ghost monkeys sit one game back in the in Sub Simmers division, from, the every quietly achieving Dragons.

In week 4 Coach Rick took his highly touted Dragons into the Black Cats House of Purr. Not distracted by the Pussycat Doll cheerleaders, Calvin Johnson and his 24 points lead the Dragons to an easy 131-88 win. Had Johnson got just 3 more yards the Dragons would have scored 140 points and given themselves a weekly average score of 120 points.

From the Coaches own mouth, "120 points each week will win you the league."

The Dragons will be hoping for another 120 points next week as they go against the Taipans in a top of the ladder clash.

The third undefeated team this year, currently sitting at 4-0 in the Surface Skimmers division, Coach Casey's Guns of Hocculi accounted for last years Divisional Winners, the BP Badasses. Despite Gunners QB Kevin Kolb scoring -.21 points for his performance, WR Wes Walker and TE Jimmy Graham lifted the Gunners to their fourth straight week, and a surprising two game lead in the sub simmers division.

In the other two games of the week, the 1-2 Delaware Destroyers defeated the less than .500% Reapers, 113 - 82, and scoring their first win of the season, Every Given Sunday defeat the Helmand Nighthawks, 132 - 63.

A quarter of the way through the season the table looks like this. In the Sub Simmers division the Dragons at 4-0 have skipped away from the Ghost Monkeys (3-1) and the BP Badasses (2-2). The rest of the division sits at 1-3

In the Surface Skimmers Division, the Guns of Hoculi and the Taipans lead at 4-0, two games clear of the Delaware Destroyers. The Black Cats and Nighthawks are at 1-4, while the Nutcrunchers are the sole team without a win.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

After a surprising 0-3 start and sitting at the bottom of the Sub Simmers division, the defense has finally kicked in and brought home the first win of the season. For the effort of 2 sacks, 1 interception, 3 fumble recoveries and 3 defensive touchdowns, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the Raven Defense of Every Given Sunday with the Week Four MVT.

DRAGONS FIRE
with the Gunners smoldering.


Week Five in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the have stamped their authority on the League, but they don't have it all their own way.

We'll get to that game after this public service announcement.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".


It was the top of the table clash nobody expected. A former League Champion against a foreign up comer, the winner to advance to 5-0 and take a stranglehold on their division. The Dragons and Taipans clash was everything is was billed up to be...until Roddy White and Tony Gonzales got garbage time receptions at the end of Sunday night to reduce the Taipans 40 point lead to less than 20. With Matthew Stafford and Megatron Johnson hooking up for what seemed like a 3 mile touchdown pass, the Dragons moved ahead and dropped the Taipans to 4-1.

But the Dragons are not the only undefeated team, The Guns of Hoculi, the new team under Coach Casey, has also moved on to 5-0 in the Subsimmer division soundly accounting for the 1-3 reapers 142 - 79. The Gunners take a one game lead in the division but will meet the Taipans next week in one of the more exciting match ups.

Two teams with the most undeserving record of 1-3 lined up against each other. The Wild Boston Terriers, red hot favorites at the start of the season, were facing the Helmand Nighthawks. These teams are off to rough starts, unlike previous years, facing off with a pair of monster rushing backs. The Purple Jesus of the Nighthawks put three touchdowns up against the Terrier's Law Firm of Ben Jarvis Green Ellis 2 TD's. It would be the arm of Aaron Rodgers which finally lifts the Terriers to .500% with a 119-78 win. The Nighthawks fall almost to the bottom of the league.

Proving you don't need to be a top tier team to have a great game, Every Given Sunday finally made it home to host the Nutcrunchers. Even with Tom Terrific as QB, the Nutcrunchers are still looking for their first win as the fall to EGS 95-87. After the game Tom was seen sobbing into a pink handkerchief that rumors suspect was once owned by Bridget Moynaham. Sorry Tom, you get to go home and put up with Giesel tonight.

They've had some high scores and look to be a legitimate title contender despite sititng at 3-1 before this weeks games. Coach Mookie of the once beloved "Lose by a Point" team with his new Ghost Moonkeys have been handing teams a spanking this year. Week Five was no exception and while not a high scoring game, Dwayne Bowe caught 30 points of the Ghost Monkeys points. It didn't help that the Delaware Destroyers started QB Tony Romo...who stayed at home on a Bye weekend. Monkeys leapfrog up the table to 4-1 winning 88 - 60. Next week they host the Dragons in the game of the week.

However, proving that leaving your best player as a starter in a bye week can still get a win, are the Black Cats. The Kitty Cats started Ray Rice this week and despite his absence, managed to rack up 107 points against the BP Basasses. Cats advance to 2-3 but two games back in the Sub Simmer division.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

After a slow start in the Sub Simmers division, the arm has finally kicked in. For the effort of 5 touchdowns and 228 yards, scoring a massive 32.06 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Ben Roethlisberger of the Black Cats with the Week Five MVT.

"Whatdya mean, Ray wasn't on the bus?!?!?!?! Where in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is he?" - Coach CaptainHaplo was overheard saying just prior to the game....

I was going to swap him out, but I made a huge error in picking up 3qb's at draft. Still getting the hang of moving players - was worried about dropping one of the qb's (I still say Matt Moore is going to take over in Miami and light it up) and not getting them back later. Probably a mistake, but it worked out.

[AVGWarhawk]

The Nutcrunchers have a official name change. The new team name is Tail End Charlie.

THE IMMACULATE SEASON
Dragons are 6-0.


Week Six in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and we needed all of Monday night to find a result in four of this weeks games. That's a short time to turn around a weekly report, but this isn't some hick show called Sportscenter, this is Subsim.

We'll get to those games after this public service announcement.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".


A divisional match up, the #1 and #2 teams in the league and their first head to head meeting, this game of the week had everything riding on it. The Dragons, the hottest team in the league at 5-0 going against the huge scoring 4-1 Ghost Monkeys. These two coaches are no stranger to big games, having met each other for the last few years in one franchise or another, and this game was no exception. Colt McCoy (Monkeys) and Sam Bradford (Dragons) played almost identical games, but it was the Dragons running game behind Ahmad Bradshaw that was just able to stretch LeSean McCoy (Monkeys). The Dragons advance to a two game divisional lead over the Ghost Monkeys. And the '72 Dolphins are looking very nervous as the champagne stays on the ice with the Dragons, looking for the Immaculate Season, move to 6-0.

In the Surface Skimmers divisional match up, the Guns of Hochuli were looking to be the other 6-0 team, but hosting the Australian Taipans on Monday night has proven to be tough. In the last 4 weeks, the Taipans are 3-1 on Monday Night. The Gunners, playing their second team (4 on byes, 1 ruled out) held a 25 point lead Monday Night but it wasn't enough when the Taipans back up QB Mark Sanchez walked in for 6. Taipans knock off the Guns of Hochuli 114 - 87.

Finally reaching .500%, the Wild Boston Terriers have found their bark as they flossed their teeth against the struggling Reapers. The Terriers, still pulling good money in Vegas to win this league, showed one of their more dominating performances 112 - 71.

Proving you don't have to score a lot of points to win and still put on a good game, the BP Badasses were hosting Every Given Sunday. Unable to make the last minute changes to the teams, this was another game with 4 of the starters sitting in the grandstand drinking beer. With three of their starters missing, Every Given Sunday some how defeats the Badasses 64-42. (Is this the lowest winning score ever?)

The Monday Night Thriller was the Black cats hosting the Helmand Nighthawks. The Nighthawks, wondering what bus hit them back to 1-4, were holding out for just 2 catches or 25 yards for Plexico Burress to win the game. It wasn't to be, and the Cats coach was overjoyed as crossed the field to shake hands with Mr Chris. After a backslap, Mr Chris who was nude sunbathing the day prior and extremely sunburned, grimaced at the action. Mr Chris chased down Coach FYC to ask for some Aloe Vera lotion. The Coach claimed he didn't have any but Mr Chris knew better. Coach Chris attempted to pat down The Coach but found none. The League Commissioner has taken no action on the sly grope, but has now issued aloe Vera to all coaches at each games.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

You don't have to be 6-0 to win the weekly award. For the effort of 2 touchdowns and 139 yards, scoring 25.35 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Michael Turner of the Delaware Destroyers with the Week Six MVT.

NUTCRUNCHERS WIN
...and elsewhere, Dragons do too.


Week Seven in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and we are halfway to the playoffs. Three teams look to be the real deal in the run to for the Torpedo Bowl, but the scramble for that fourth spot in the Championship Series is a wild race with the entire league still in contention. And it all came down to Monday Night with no less than three cliff hangers, the most important being the two teams at the bottom of the league.

We'll get to this weeks games after we step away for this important message.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

It's week 7, and with the trade deadline looming, Mr Chris had to to something to stop the rot of the 1-5 Helmand Nighthawks.

I'm experiencing the season from hell and due to his poor performance thus far Plaxico has been trade away for Kevin Walter.

Really? How's that season looking today after Plexico scored three touchdowns for 23.25 points this week? :Kaleun_Crying:
The Nighthawks almost needed a change of underwear as their away trade scored, while they struggled to put up 70 points against the Nutcrunchers. The game became a borefest until the last minute of Monday night when Anquan Boldin finally held on to a TD and the result of the game rested on the boot of Billy Cundiff. After missing a 50 yard plus earlier in the game, Cundiff kicked the extra point and the Nutcrunchers get out of the vice and advance to 1-6 with a .08 point win over the Nighthawks. Final Score Nutcrunchers 73.09 Nighthawks 73.01.

At the top of the league, having started with a three game lead on the rest of the division, Coach Rick and the Dragons set off on the cross country away leg that will decide their immaculate season. Despite hate mail from the 72 Dolphins wishing them ill, the Dragons teeter on the cusp of the perfect season. Matched up this week against the 1-5 Reapers, the Dragons were able to dispose of their seventh victim...I mean opponent, as they steamrolled their way to a 112 - 70 victory.

After the game, Coach Rick addressed the press and said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

Behind the Dragons are two teams in the Surface Skimmers Division fighting it out for the #2 position. The first team, Coach Casey's Guns Of Hochuli, having already suffered a defeat to be 5-1, and were in trouble from the beginning of the week. Against the Delaware Destroyers, the game had six players on byes between the two teams (Maybe the could have pooled to the game together on the same bus?) Coming from way behind the Gunners needed every ounce of scoring on Sunday from their TE Jimmy Graham (Saints) to get their muzzle out in front. Final score, another close one, Guns of Hochuli 57.48 defeat Delaware Destroyers 57.22, a victory of less than 5 rushing yards.

Wow. Despite what I said last week, is this the lowest total winning score ever?

Earlier in the week there was some strong smack talking going on from the Black Cats against the Australian Taipans. At 5-1 the Taipans started the game 5 point underdogs to the 3-3 Black Cats. Apparently, in his shuffle to get the right team Coach Pioneer started his kicker on the other side of the field against his defense. Having realized the "rookie error" the Taipans ground and pound the ball with Arian Foster for a monstrous individual score of 44 points. Taipans advance to 6-1 with a half game lead over the Gunners, by defeating the Black Cats 124 - 82.

How about them Doggies? The Wild Boston Terrier have quietly put together a three game winning streak, this week handing the BP Badasses their fourth consecutive loss. While McBee has Aaron Rodgers at the helm, his potential can make up for the negative scoring of Ryan Torain, as the Terriers defeat the Badasses 102-74.

The thriller this week were the Ghost Monkeys hosting Every Given Sunday. At 4-2 the Monkeys have outscored everyone in the league. Conversely, EGS has been on hot streak of three straight wins and after a shaky start to the season, plane delays and starting the wrong team. EGS have slowly moved back to put themselves in contention as a legitimate playoff hopeful. With the Ravens defense on the field most of the game ('cause the offense were offensive) Every Given Sunday got 4 sacks to move them ahead an eventually win 88.00 - 84.63.

So, halfway through the season here's where we stand.

The Dragon are unbeaten at 7-0 as they hold a three game lead in the Sub Simmers division. They could potentially lock up a play off appearance with just two more wins. Behind them, a three way tie exists between the Wild Boston Doggies, Ghost Monkeys and Every Given Sunday. Two games back at 2-5 the BP Badasses sit, and at the bottom of the division are the Reapers at 1-6.

Over in the Surface Skimmers division, the 6-1 Taipans only loss came at the hands of the Dragons. A half game back the Guns of Hochuli look like the only team who can take the Dragons, but, in a Merino/Elway replay, the Gunners will only meet the Dragons if both teams make the play offs. Three games behind them the Destroyers and Black Cats both lost dropping them to 3-4, while the Nutcrunchers leapfrog Helmand Nighthawks to be a half game ahead at 2-5. Amazingly, both the Nutcrunchers and the Nighthawks can still make the Championship Finals if they win all their games from here on out.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

The decision of the Associated Subsim Writers changed as the complexion of the last game came to a head. For the effort of 1 sack, 1 interception, 2 fumble recoveries and one defensive touchdown, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the Saints Defense of the Nutcrunchers for their first win, with the Week Seven MVT.

[CaptainHaplo]

How Arian Foster and his 44.xx points don't get MVT, is beyond me. The guy was a beast this week. Unreal!

[mookiemookie]

I was thinking that the 40 point monster of a game that Drew Brees put up to bring EGS back from a 50 point deficit would have been the MVT.

[CaptainHaplo]

After thinking about it - it makes sense though. Ultimately the MVT is not necessarily who contributed "more" - but who unexpectedly contributed in a major fashionto get the win. Nutcrunchers needed something like that - and the Saints D delivered.

[AVGWarhawk]

What got me into the end zone and the win was Boldin!

[Aramike]

I was thinking that the 40 point monster of a game that Drew Brees put up to bring EGS back from a 50 point deficit would have been the MVT.No doubt. After the afternoon games I was sure I was done for.

DRAGONS FAIL
Cellar Dwellers Upset the League


Week Eight in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and what happened this week? Three out of the top four teams failed to score easy wins, falling to the bottom teams. And through it all, the 72 Dolphins and Every Given Sunday are smiling at the shakeup from this week.

We'll get to this weeks games after we step away for this important message.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".


Week Eight and something happenned on the way to the Torpedo Bowl, the underdogs got up, beat up on the league leaders and suddenly, both divisions are wide open and no one has secured a play off position.

The biggest shock of the week, the 7-0 Dragons were looking to take care of business in what should have been an easy win over the 2-5 BP Badasses. Should have been, except no one told the Badasses that. The Badasses Lion defense set the tone for the game coming out and spanking the Dragons Titan defense, but it was Michael Vick and late on Monday night, the lack luster effort of Ryan Matthew which finally lifted the Badasses to the biggest, and most unexpected win of the season. Dragon suffer their first loss of the season, and the Badasses get sent a complimentary bottle of champagne by 72 Dolphins, the only teams to have a perfect season.

The second shock, the high scoring Guns of Hochuli in the Surface Skimmers division were up against the below .500% Nutcruchers. The Gunners, although not leading the division, have been the key team to find their stride this year. But this week, they couldn't hold down the Nutcrunchers, even against the boot of the long range field goal kicker from the Gunners of Nick Novak. Nutcrunchers get their second win in a row dropping a divisional rival, squeaking home 101 - 94.

The biggest blow out of the week was between a pair of 3-4 teams, the Black Cats hosting the Delaware Destroyers . Scrapping over what may the #8 spot in the play offs, the Cats get back to 4-4 with a smackdown of the Destroyers 123 - 63.

The Wild Boston Terriers, the second promising team to come out of the Sub Simmers division, had that dream smashed this weekend when they came up against divisional rivals Every Given Sunday. A lack of scoring by the Terrier wide receiver corp of Pierre Garson, Marques Colston and Michael Jenkins left the door open for EGS. Even though their third wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker failed to score a single point, it was the boot of Rob Bironas and two 50+ field goals which lifted them to an unexpected victory. With the collapse of the balance of the division, EGS leapfrog to the #2 position and just two games back from the Dragons.

After the game, Coach Mich W was smiling as he spoke to the press. "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

At 4-3 you would have expected the high scoring Ghost Monkeys to take care of business against the 1-6 Reapers, but Coach Pits QB of Eli Manning with 349 yards and 23 points had other ideas. Ghost Monkeys RB LeSean McCoy can rush for 2 TD's and 185 yards, but the Monkeys needed the other RB Jackie Battle to come through. The Reapers had it early, but the Ghost Monkeys "tricked" them on Halloween night to steal a win with a late touchdown. Monkeys move closer to the Dragons advancing to 5-3.

The only team in the top four to take a win, and they were lucky to do with all the turn overs that Phillip Rivers created, were the Australian Taipans. Matched up against the 1-6 Helmand Nighthawks, the Taipans were barely able to stay in front all weekend, but they march out to a one game divisional lead, winning 88 - 76.

So, after week eight, the Surface Skimmers division is easier to dissect. The Taipans, 7-1 but 6-0 in the division, hold a one game lead over the Gunners, who are two ahead of the emerging Black Cats.

In the Surface Skimmers, the loss by the Dragons opens up the division. Dragons lead 7-1, with two games back the Ghost Monkeys and Every Given Sunday. A further game back at 4-4 are the Wild Boston Terriers, and then another game to the storming Badasses. This division is wide open, and realistically, every one of those teams could make the playoffs.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 7 sacks, 1 interception, 2 fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdown, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the Lions Defense of the BP Badasses with the Week Eight MVT.

NIGHTHAWKS SOAR
League Leaders Dragons Slayed


Week Nine in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the Nighthawks come out and topple the league leaders in a convincing win. For the second week in a row, the Dragons suffered another loss and suddenly, the Surface Skimmers division is up for grabs.

We'll get to the biggest upset this year after we hear this important message.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".


They were 1-7 and having a Helmand Nightmare season, facing the league leading Dragons. But the Dragons were coming off an unexpected loss, and maybe the shock of Halloween the previous week didn't create the sugar high that was needed. The Nighthawks, desperate to turn their season around, did it a fabulous style, outgunning the Dragons through the first half of the week to earn their second win of the year. In a major upset with playoff implications, the Nighthawks get the better of the Dragons 115-87.

In the euphoric post game celebrations, Coach Chris, between beers, said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

The Dragons loss creates a stampede of teams behind them and leading the pack is Every Given Sunday, the only winner in the division this week. On the strength of a five game winning streak, EGS accounted for the almost defunct Delaware Destroyers. The win by Every Given Sunday makes them the hottest team in the league, with supermodels, Orange county housewives, rap singers and playboy model Lindsay Lohan all wanting to get giggy with Coach Mike W.

The first thriller of the week was the matchup between the two biggest scoring teams in the league, the Guns of Hochuli at the Ghost Monkeys. The Monkeys, sitting mid league and desperate to get one game clear of the Wild Boston Terriers, started both of their running backs after the Gunners had finished with a sizable 121 points. The Monkeys needed the entire night of LeSean McCoy and Matt Forte to run down the Gunners... but it wasn't to be. The Gunners hold on for a narrow 121 -108 point win.

The second thriller and a lot more closer saw the haphazard .500% Black Cats trying to stop the 1-7 Reapers from getting their second win. The Cats finished early and had to wait out Jeremy Maclin on Monday night. Maclin was one pass and about 4 yards (did someone say screen?) from getting an upset win for the Reapers, who drop to the league worst 1-8 with the narrow loss, 95 - 93.40.

While everyone was scoring on Monday night, the one quarterback not achieving remarkable numbers was Michael Vick. Captaining the BP Badasses, Vick needed a paltry 13 points to get over the Australian Taipans. Recorded in another tabloid, Coach Pioneer arrived for the Sunday game locked out of Kansas City and unable to change his team, had to play out with backups. Despite scoring less than 7 points and not a single touchdown across his entire wide receiving score, the Taipans were able to run enough points to survive the scare, and advance to 8-1.

A surprising win in the middle of the league was the game between the Wild Boston Terriers and the Nutcrunchers. The Dogs, even with Aaron Rodgers, appear not to have enough elsewhere on the field to hold off the opposition. The trash talking Nutcrunchers, having stunned everyone with back to back wins in the previous weeks, make it 3 in a row and suddenly find them self only a game or two out of a potential championship play off spot, where as we know, anything can happen on the race to the Torpedo Bowl. (You got that Mookie?)

As we finish week nine and head into the first of the loooong weeks which start on Thursday night, the Dragons loss moves them to 7-2 and remarkably, even keeps the Reapers (mathematically) in with a chance of reaching the playoffs. The Reapers will have to do it the hard way, and must win against the league leading Taipans to stay alive.

The top of the league ladder is harder to work out, with six teams above .500% unclear where the final positions will rest. The Taipans only loss coming at the hands of the Dragons, who next week face the Nutcrunchers. The fastest moving team so far are Every Given Sunday who have posted six consecutive wins, but must now face the "meat" of the league against the Guns of Hochuli and the Dragons in back to back weeks. In the middle band of teams, the Wild Boston Terrier, although sitting below .500%, have three of their remaining five games against the bottom of the league.

The run into week 10 looks to be one of the best, this league has had in recent years.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 124 yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 5 receptions for 26 yards and 23.50 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Arian Foster of the Australian Taipans with the Week Nine MVT.

REAPERS SKIN TAIPANS
Surface Skimmers Division Wholesale Losses


Week Ten in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and for the second week in a row, the team at the bottom of the league has beaten the team at the top of the league. In addition, only one team in the Surface Skimmers Division scored a win. What is going on with these wholesale divisional losses?

We'll get to the second biggest upset this year after we hear this important message.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

Last week were saw the team at the bottom of the ladder knock off the league leaders. What chance could we see it happen again this week with the 1-8 Reapers against the 8-1 Taipans. After the Taipans QB Phillip Rivers started somewhat poorly on Thursday night, the Reapers changed their starting line up before their first player took the field, and suddenly they were favorites to win the game. The game was tight all weekend, and, once again, the result was pending on the Taipans "come from behind on Monday Night" for the fourth straight week. Needing a swag of points from Percy Harvin, it wasn't to be. The Repears, for the third straight year, become the bogey team for the Taipans beating them 100.07 - 98.53.

Only Michael Jackson had more Thrillers than the Subsim League, and perhaps one of the best games of the year turned out to be a a defensive power struggle. The high scoring Ghost Monkey, after taking a verbal beating from Coach Mookie last week about "protect the lead", scored a paltry 69.57 points. The Black Cats, clearly the underdogs in this battle but with both teams at 5-4, turned it into an epic defensive game. The Cats with the Green Bay defense played back and forth into the fourth quarter, producing one of the best low scoring games of the year. Ghost Monkey hold on to win 69.57 - 66.85 and move to 6-4.

Over in the Sub Simmers division, Coach Rock and the Dragons, after suffering a shocking loss seven days ago, showed that his 7-2 didn't come from looking back, but from looking forward to the demolition of the next opponent. Unfortunately, it was the Nutcrunchers who had their nuts ....err, their winning streak crushed. The Dragons beat the Nutcrunchers 130 - 80. The win keeps the Dragons at the top of the Sub Simmers league, but don't look back, here comes Every Given Sunday.

With the hottest looking and most naked cheerleaders, Every Given Sunday has wiped out all before them after stumbling in the first three games of the year. Every Given Sunday, putting together this years best streak of 7 wins, have carved through the division to be sitting one game back of the Dragons. In so doing, EGS shut down the hard charging Guns of Hochuli by winning 135 - 73. The loss by the Gunners drop them to 7-3 and with the balance of the division behind them all losing this week, the Gunners maintain their two game lead and sit on the cusp of putting the remainder of the division out of the playoffs.

After the game, Coach Mike W, draped by near naked cheerleaders fondling him, managed to get his tongue out. "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

One game back the Wild Boston Terriers have declared their intent on a playoff appearance, smashing the the Delaware Destroyers 141 - 61. Coach Growler of the Destroyers is apparently trying to hock his team for an NBA franchise, while Coach McBee and the Doggies look forward to the rematch with Mookie and the Monkeys next week.

Down at the bottom of the table, teams are still battling for first round pick next year. Once a proud franchise, Mr. Chris and the London based Helmand Nighthawks keep their slim playoff chances alive with a 20 point win over the Badasses.

With four weeks before the playoffs, and the massive losses by the league leaders in the past two weeks, the situation looks like this.

No team has yet clinched a play off berth. The surprising win by the Reapers for only their second victory of the year still keeps them in the hunt with four teams - the Nighthawks, BP Badasses, Destroyers and Nutcrunchers, one game ahead at 3-7. A loss next week will probably doom any chance of a consolation series appearance.

The top of the league ladder is a mess. The Dragons and Taipans are both at 8-2 with the Dragons holding a half game win against the Taipans earlier in the season. The Dragons, who within their division are 5-1, sit one game clear of the Every Given Sunday, which will be our undisputed Week 11 Game of the Week. The Taipans look to slither into the playoffs matched against less than .500 teams.

But don't think those three teams have a monopoly on the Championship Series. The Ghost Monkeys at 6-4 battle divisional rivals the Wild Boston Terriers in the next biggest game of the week. The winners of this game and the Dragons/EGS game will clear the playoff picture in the Sub Simmers division, where potentially, five of the six teams will make the playoffs.

In the Surface Skimmers division, the Taipans and Guns of Hochulli have separated themselves from the rest of the division. Pending the outcome of other games, the Gunners and Taipans may be playing off for the division in the second last week of the regular season. The rest of the division will be picking up the scraps.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 8 receptions for 134 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, for 30.65 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Rob Gronkowski of the Wild Boston Terriers with the Week Ten MVT.

RODGERS COST TERRIERS
Last Pass Costs WBT Championship

Week Eleven in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and we'll answer all the big questions on your mind, like how much did that last pass cost the Wild Boston Terriers? Who's clinched a play off appearance and most importantly, how come Firefox crashed my Word document after writing this weeks column and before I could save it.

We'll get to those questions and more, after we step away for thirty seconds for this important announcement.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

It was billed as the Game of the Week but it never quite lived up to it. Every Given Sunday, after having stormed through the last seven weeks amassing an unequaled streak finally had their charge put to an end this week by Coach Rick and the Dragons. In the highest scoring game of the week, the two teams combined for eleven touchdowns. The hard fought battle eventually saw the Dragons stamp their authority as the leagues #1 team as they accounted for EGS 128 - 92. The win pushes the Dragons to a two game lead over the balance of the division, but, they haven't won it yet.

Easily, the most controversial game of the year was the Wild Boston Terriers home game against the Ghost Monkeys. These two teams have jostled all year for the #2 position and this game proved to be one of the best. After having passed every game this year for over 300 yards, on the last play of the game, Coach McBee instructed his star QB, Aaron Rodgers to "throw it backwards". The pass recorded a negative yardage, and dropped Rodgers minus 6 points as it turned back to 299 yards. Would that pass haunt the Terriers who were looking to make the Championship Finals? It would come down to Monday with the Terriers Rob Gronkowski against the Ghost Monkeys Dwaye Bowe. The lead changed five times during the game before Bowe was finally able to hold one more pass and put the Monkeys in front at the bell. Final score Ghost Monkeys 83.38, Wild Boston Terriers 82.43

As the crown rushed onto the field to celebrate Coach Mookie said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game." Coach McBee declined an interview but did kick the dumpsters over on his way out.

The biggest upset of the week was the surprising victory of the Black Cats against the Guns of Hochuli. The Kittens, needing to win every game until the end of the season, were pitted against the big scoring Gunners. The Gunners did the Cats a favor by recording a negative score on Thursday night and never really recovered. The Black Cats advance to 6-5 and get above .500% for the second time this season by defeating the Gunner 94-62.

The loss by the Gunners paved the way for the Australian Taipans to take a bite on the Surface Skimmers division. Although favored at the start of the game by 20 points (I have no idea how these predictions are justified) the Nutcrunchers were able to match the Taipans. Gradually the Taipans slithered away and amounted an unimpressive score, and a lead of 30 points. With Terrific Tom Brady at the helm, the Nutcrunchers failed to pass for for enough yardage and fall in the end. Taipans win 81 - 63 and take a two game lead over the rest of the division.

Coach Growler of the Delaware Destroyers finally showed up for the first game of the year to find his team still in with a playoff chance. His response to that news: offer up three players on a trade for the deadline that passed a day earlier. Still, it didn't hurt their performance as they got over the Helmand Nighthawks 95 - 92, to create a log jam at the bottom of the league for first pick of next years draft.

Making it a four way jam, the Reapers were easily able to account for the Bp Badasses 85 - 55, with both teams ending up at 3-8 records with the Reapers and Nighthawks.

So, with three weeks until the end of the regular season where does that leave us?

The Dragons and Taipans sit at the top of each division at 9-2. The Dragons, the #1 team in the league, hold a half game lead over the Taipans. Both teams have clinched a playoff spot. The Taipans, who have quietly ran out to 7-0 within the division, can clinch the division and a championship appearance with one win in the next three games. The Dragons have to wait out the battle behind them.

The Ghost Monkeys, Every Given Sunday and the Guns of Hochuli sit two games back. The Monkeys and EGS can still win the division on their own merits, but the Gunners need help to get in front of the Taipans. It's expected that two of these three teams will make the Championship Finals.

At 6-5, and the biggest surprise of the season, the Black Cats are perched on their own. One more game back at 5-6, the Wild Boston Terriers are ruing that costly Rodgers 1 yard pass, which potentially drops them out of a Championship appearance.

The Delaware Destroyers at 4-7 sit in the final play off position, but they are in no means secure. Four teams at 3-8 can still make the Consolation Series and eliminate them.

Next weeks biggest game is the Wild Boston Terriers hosting the Dragons. A win to the Dragons will secure them a Championship play off appearance while a loss will put the Terriers on the bubble of elimination. The Nutcrunchers and the Black Cats match is a key game not only to themselves, but to the other teams looking to grab that last play off spot. The Taipans can clinch the division with a win.

Dragon 9-2 (clinched play off position)
Taipans 9-2 (clinched play off position)
Ghost Monkeys 7-4
Every Given Sunday 7-4
Guns of Hochuli 7-4
Black Cats 6-5
Wild Boston Terriers 5-6
Delaware Destroyers 4-7 (on the bubble)
BP Badasses 3-8
Nutcrunchers 3-8
Helmand Nighthawks 3-8
Reapers 3-8

As for Firefox and Word...let's just say that just as much cursing went on as in the McBee household tonight.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 335 passing yards, 5 touchdown and not to be out-Tebowed, 2 rushing yards, for a total of 36.8 points, for 30.65 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Matthew Stafford of the Dragons with the Week Eleven MVT.

Sorry to hear that. It's happened to me quite a few times, which is why I never go with the projections. I always look at receptions and/or carries. If this is a guy who sees the ball a lot, I will consider starting him, regardless of matchup. Still, every player has an off game, and trying to predict those will send you to the loony bin.

[mr chris]

Some very dodgy happenings.

I go to bed at half time in the Falcons, Titans game. (The later set of games)
with Crabtree on the Destoryers bench. Crabtree was having a good game for the 49's as i keeping tabs on all the games via Stattracker.

So imagine my amazement when i check the score before i left for work on Monday morning to see that Ochocinco has been replaced by Crabtree!!!
I though it was impossible to add a player to the team once he has already started his game? Its seems iam mistaken.
So i got totally screwed and im quite pissed off to be honest.

It is this way for me and it should be this way for everyone. If this actually happened, it is an issue that needs to be looked into.

[AVGWarhawk]

Sorry to hear that. It's happened to me quite a few times, which is why I never go with the projections. I always look at receptions and/or carries. If this is a guy who sees the ball a lot, I will consider starting him, regardless of matchup. Still, every player has an off game, and trying to predict those will send you to the loony bin.

For the most part I find the projections are close. Not this week though. Not even close. :x

[AVGWarhawk]

Some very dodgy happenings.

I go to bed at half time in the Falcons, Titans game. (The later set of games)

I can not move players once the game has started.

Well it happened.
He was on the bench when i went to bed, and when i woke up he was in the starting line-up.

SUB SIMMERS DIVISION UP FOR GRABS
Play Offs Spots Vanishing

Week Twelve in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and what might have been the longest every week of football, turned into one of the greatest week ends of football. We'll have all the details on the come from behind wins, the last minute rewrites because of the come from behind wins, and who's in and out of the play offs, after this important message.


NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

The biggest game of the year pitted the 5-6 Wild Boston Terriers in a shootout with the 9-2 Dragons. It was a huge passing affair with Aaron Rodgers (WBT) slinging it out early Thanksgiving morning against Matthew Stafford (Dragons) and it came down to Monday night with Marques Colston (WBT) against Victor Cruz (Dragons). The Terrier, still smarting from last weeks one yard backward pass by Rodgers, started strong and looked to have the win sewn up, until Victor Cruz caught a 72 yard bomb for a touchdown to put the Dragons ahead. With less than 5 minutes to go Colston sat at 78 yards, just waiting to pick up the remaining 12 to get the bonus points and give the Terriers a chance. It was all over when Cruz went in for his second touchdown to allow the Dragons to ease away. Final Score, Dragons 125 - Wild Boston Terriers 107. The win moves the Dragons to the top of the divisional ladder, but they don't own their division yet.

Coach Mookie and the Ghost Monkeys has said goodbye to last years 1 point losses and set sailed for the divisional top seed. In a relatively low scoring affair, the Monkeys were pitted against the naughty boys of the league, the BP Badasses. With barely any points between the two teams, WR Hakeem Nicks caught enough yardage to lift the Ghost Monkeys to a 71 - 40 victory, and more importantly, move to 8-4 and still in contention for the Divisional Champion.

Coach Mike of the Every Given Sunday discovered the hard way that any team can win on any given Sunday. At 7-4 and matched against the 3-8 Reapers, desperately clinging to a slim hope of a play off, QB Alex Smith of EGS crumbled, while he left his second string of Drew Brees on the bench with 40 + points. The Reapers, for the third week in a row, knock off one of the league leaders and sit on the verge of making the playoffs, at 4-8.

In the Surface Skimmers division, Mr Chris and the Helmand Nighthawks were looking for redemption after a diabolical season, as they were matched against the 7-4 Guns of Hochuli. The Gunners turned on their standard performance but the Nighthawks were able to put enough points on the board, before the Gunners eventually ran out of time on Monday night. The Gunners fall to the Nighthawks 94.94 - 94.16 and the miracle continues as they stay alive in the playoffs.

At church services after the game, Mister Chris took time to get off his knees to meet the media. He said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

The Nighthawks will need help though, and it had to come from the top and middle of the division. The Nutcrunchers season at 3-8 was hanging on a thread as they were matched up against the Black Cats, The Kittens had made their way to 6-5 and looked to be in contention for one of the final play off spots when they choked on a Nutcruncher hairball. In a lopsided affair, the Nutcrunchers skin the Black Cats 117 - 90. The Nutcrunchers advance to the group of teams at 4-8 and stay alive, barely.

The Australian Taipans, perhaps the most unsurprising team this year have systematically gone about their business week after week. Attempts to trade away Darren Sproles were unsuccessful and as it turns out, the loss of the leagues leading rusher Fred Jackson (AT) did nothing to slow them down. Taipans take care of business against the Delaware Destroyers 106 - 46 and clinch the Divisional Champion.

With two weeks left in the regular season, lets examine where all the teams sit, and just what they need to do to make the playoffs.

Here's what we know already and won't change. The Taipans have won the Surface Skimmers Division and go to their first post season appearance as either the #1 or #2 team. The BP Badasses in the Sub Simmers division have been eliminated. Everything else is up for grabs.

The Dragons at 10 - 2 sit on top of the Sub Simmers Division and have clinched a play off spot. They hold a two game lead over Moookie and the Ghost Monkeys at 8-4, whom they meet next week. A win for the Dragons in either week give them the Divisional Championship. Flex scheduling sees the Subsim League designate the Dragons @ Ghost Monkeys as the Game of The Week.

Every Given Sunday and the Guns of Hochuli, both at 7-4, are on a two and three loss streak respectively. Both teams have clinched a play off position but are still in line for the Championship playoffs. Every Given Sunday meet the BP Badasses and the Guns of Hochuli have to go through the Australian Taipans, who beat then a few weeks ago.

With 5 teams locked in, that leaves 3 positions still up for grabs.

At 6-6 the Black Cats have to play against the Nighthawks and the Taipans in the next week two weeks. One win in either week will see them in the Consolation Series, but they are still going to need help.

At 5-7, Aaron Rodgers and the Wild Boston Terriers prove you can have the league MVP and still be in danger of missing the playoffs. The Terriers are matched against the Reapers next week and the Badasses the week following. They had better not look behind because here comes a gaggle of teams who can still make the play offs.

At 4-8, the Reapers, Nutcrunchers, Delaware Destroyers and the Nighthawks can still make the Consolation Series, but they have to win and get some help. While there is still a chance, these 4-8 teams could still take out the #5 divisional ranking. Reapers and Terriers play each other, while the Nutcrunchers and Destroyers also play each other. The Nighthawks are against the Black Cats.

So the league looks like this.

Australian Taipans 10-2 (clinched division, Championship play off)
Dragon 10-2 (clinched play off position, 1 win to clinch division)
Ghost Monkeys 8-4 (clinched play off position, 2 wins to clinch division)
Every Given Sunday 7-5 (clinched play off position)
Guns of Hochuli 7-4 (clinched play off position)
Black Cats 6-6
Wild Boston Terriers 5-7
Delaware Destroyers 4-8 (on the bubble)
Nutcrunchers 4-8
Helmand Nighthawks 4-8
Reapers 4-8
BP Badasses 3-8 (eliminated)

You wanted great Fantasy Football, you got it right here as the race to the Torpedo Bowl continues.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 361 passing yards, 3 touchdown and a massive 28 rushing yards, for a total of 31.12 points, and doing enough to keep their post season hopes alive, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Tom Brady of the Nutcrunchers with the Week Twelve MVT.

DRAGONS CLINCH
...but here come the Cats

Week Thirteen in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the playoff picture is just as muddled this week as it was last. We'll have all the highlights of the big game of the week, the play off implications and of course, where the entire league stands with just one more week in the regular season. All this and more, after this important message.


NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

It was the biggest game of the year. The high scoring Ghost Monkeys had stayed in the hunt, and with just two games left in the season, they were matched up against the divisional leaders. A win would keep the Sub Simmers division wide open, and the Monkeys could maintain the hunt on the back of Matt Forte.

Until he got injured.

On an early play in the weekend Forte stumbled and sustained an injury which took him out of the game for the balance of the week. It would be one of the decisive points of the season, and the Ghost Monkeys stood proud as they put a 50 point lead on the Dragons. Coach Mookie and the Monkeys were looking pretty good, despite the low scoring game, and had a decent lead. But the Dragon aren't 10-2 because of their good looks. (Some would say that's far from the truth!) From 50 points down, the Dragons crawled their way back and breathed life into the post season appearance. Dragons win 87.06 83.06 and clinch the Sub Simmers division .

The other "top of the table" battle saw the Australian Taipans pitted against the Guns of Hochuli. The Gunners, on the bad end of a three game losing streak, needed to take the win to ensure their appearance in the Championship Series. It was not to be, as the Taipans rolled out one of the big scores of the year, 139 - 110, and advance to an impressive 9-0 in the division.

The loss by the Gunners drops them to four losses in a row, and scrambles the post season appearance for six other teams. The first is the Black Cats, matched up against divisional rivals the Helmand Nighthawks. The Nighthawks, having nothing short of a disappointing season, were looking for the win any way possible to secure a play off position. The score went back and forth and late in Monday Night before the Nighthawks ran out of time. The Black Cats win, final score Nighthawks 110 - 105.

The mess in the middle of the league of who's in and who's out of a play off position shook across the league. Deeper into the Surface Skimmers division, the Delaware Destroyers continune to prove that you don't have to have the coach show up to have a great game. The Destroyers were hosting the Nutcrunchers, both teams still mathematically in the hunt for the play offs. The final low score of 60 - 45 moves the Nutrcrunchers to 5-8 and their post season rests within the Surface Skimmers Division.

Two weeks ago the Wild Boston Terriers lost a game on a single backward pass, and that still lingers as the Doggies were matched up against the Reapers. Coach McBee, desperate for a win (and hot mud wrestling chicks from the first half of the season) needed a big score to stay in the hunt. The put plenty of points on the board but they had to wait out for the reapers RB Maurice Jones-Drew to get finished off. Doggie bark out a win 128 - 112 and move to 6-7.

Coach McBee was asked how important this game was to his play off aspirations. He said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

The one team that has been storming through the league in the past few weeks - except the last one, has been Mike and his team of Every Given Sunday.

With just one week left in the regular season, lets examine where all the teams sit, and just what they need to do to make the playoffs.

Here's what we know already and won't change. The Dragons clinch the Division and head to the Championship Series for the Torpedo Bowl. The Taipans clinched last week, and having suffered one of their two defeats to the Dragons, sit half a game back. Both teams go in as the #1 and #2, the final positions still to be decided. The Taipans can clinch the #1 spot with a win and only a Dragon loss. The Bp Badasses were eliminated last week.

Everythingelse is up for grabs.

The Ghost Monkeys, Every Given Sunday, Guns of Hochuli and the Black Cats have all secured play off positions, but the jostling for the Championship play offs will go down to the last week. The Black Cats have the toughest road going up against the Taipans, while the Ghost Monkeys and Every Given Sunday meet each other in the game of the week. The Guns of Hochuli have the easiest path against the Destroyers.

Behind them it's still a mad rush for the final play off spot.

The Wild Boston Terriers sit in the #7 spot at 6-7, and playing the Badasses will make no difference, they're going to the Consolation Series.

The final spot is still for grabs, being contested by four teams, all still in the hunt. The Nutcrunchers sit on the bubble at 5-8, while behind them, the Reapers, Nighthawks and Destroyers sit at 4-9, still with playoff aspirations.

With 7 teams locked in, only one position is still available.

So the league looks like this.

Australian Taipans 11-2 (clinched division, Championship play off)
Dragon 11-2 (clinched division, Championship play off)
Ghost Monkeys 8-5 (clinched play off position)
Every Given Sunday 8-5 (clinched play off position)
Black Cats 7-6 (clinched play off position)
Guns of Hochuli 7-4 (clinched play off position)
Wild Boston Terriers 6-7 clinched play off position)
Nutcrunchers 5-8 (on the bubble)
Delaware Destroyers 4-9
Nutcrunchers 4-9
Helmand Nighthawks 4-9
Reapers 4-9

The race to the last play off position will come down not to wins and losses, but divisional wins and points scored.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 153 rushing yards, 2 touchdown and 1 reception for 4 yards, for a total of 24.40 points, and maybe enough to get them to the Championship Series,, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Chris Johnson of Every Given Sunday with the Week Thirteen MVT.

[CaptainHaplo]

Hmmm - aren't there 4 Championship seeds? Only 2 have clinched, so its a 4 way battle for 2 seats at the big table, right?

Ghost Monkeys or Every Given Sunday - one of them - are not going to get in unless the Cats and Guns both lose. At this point, almost everyone needs help from another team dropping the ball to get in - except the winner of GM vs EGS.

Really suprising it has come down to this late in the season, but wow that makes it FUN!

[AVGWarhawk]

I'm not sure how it works. I'm on the bubble? Perhaps but my opponent this weekend is going to murder me. :oops:

[RickC Sniper]

He is counting the consolation bracket as the playoffs so 8 teams total will make the playoffs.


CaptainHaplo is right.
The winner of GM vs EVG will be in the championship bracket.
The loser of that game, Black Cats and Guns of Hochuli will vie for the fourth spot. (Cats and Guns need to win since 4 teams have 8 or more wins already)

The consolation bracket is wide open in that if Nutchruncher loses this week one team with 5 wins will make it in. If he wins the last spot goes to him.

Good luck to all next week. :salute:

WILD END TO SEASON
...with tie breaker surprises.

Week Fourteen in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the regular season is done for the year. We'll tell you who's going to be playing in December, who's missed out on a tiebeaker, and what the future looks like for the eight teams in the play offs.

But before we get to that, this important message in the name of fallen fantasy football teams everywhere.


NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

Did we save some of the best games of the year till the final week? Oh yes we did. With only two teams clinched into the post season brackets, five teams were fighting it out for their seeding, and four more teams were scrambling to get that final berth. Let's take this apart from the top down, and see what this means as we head into the last two weeks.

The Dragons were the #1 team all year. Right from the first kick off in week one, they made it known they were here for another championship. They had been in a close race all season for the top position, and in week 14 were facing the Reapers. A win would give them the #1 seed. The Reapers on the other hand, at 4-9, needed the win and then some help just to make it to the play offs. Coach Rick's team put up some good numbers, but the duo of Eli Manning and Maurice Two-Dads', saw this game over early. With no mercy rule, the Reapers banged on the points and annihilated the Dragons 142 - 94. The win keeps the Reapers still in the hunt with a big score, while the Dragons, already seeded into the Championship, looked across at the Taipans/Black Cats game.

The Taipans had quietly slithered to an impressive 9-0 divisional wins and were looking for a clean sweep of the division against the Black Cats. The Dragons loss mean the Taipans could steal the #1 seed away with a win. The Cats, who put themselves in a position to win the final play off position, needed to stomp the Taipans. With everyone on the Cats playing in the early game, the Taipans put up a century plus score, and with the Dragons loss, snatched the #1 seed away. The Cats would lay in wait for the result of other games before knowing where their post season may lay.

The biggest game of the year, the Ghost Monkeys and Every Given Sunday. Divisional rivals within a half game of each other, the winner to advance to the Championship Series, the loser to also wait out other games. EGS benched Alex Smith for Drew Brees (why???) and the result came down to Monday Night. The Monkeys had a lead before their Seahawks defense took the field. EGS had Marshawn Lynch The Beast running for over 100 and a touchdown, but The gap was too big, and The Ghost Monkeys advance to the Championship Series with a 123 - 107 win. Every Given Sunday's post season rest on the result of other games.

Halfway through the season the Guns Of Hochuli looked like being the world beaters, until they got into a four game losing streak. In the final week they were pitted against the only zombie team in the league, the Delaware Destroyers. Last week I would have predicted a landslide win for the Gunners but it wasn't even close. Even with Darren McFadden (DD) out the Destroyers remaining players shot down the Gunners 112 - 67.

In so doing, the Destroyers stayed alive with a play off hope, while cementing the top four teams that would head to the Torpedo Bowl. Imagine what the Destroyer season could have been if their coach had shown up.

As the teams locked in from the Gunners loss, the Wild Boston Terriers, still growling after the backward pass by Rodgers weeks prior, needed to hold their position still. Against the BP Badasses, already elimated from the post season, the Badasses went to play spoiler and almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year. Coach McBee needed every yard of Rob the Gronk's 160 yards receiving to secure the Doggies in the Consolation Series with a 118 - 102 win.

The final play off spot would be decided by the result of the Helmand Nighthawks and the Nutcrunchers game. A win to either team still needed help and some points to get into the playoffs. The Nighthawks, picked by many (including me) to win the whole damm lot, rested in the hands of Antonio Gates (22 points) while the Nutcrunchers would leave it in the hands of Terrific Tom (28 points). In the highest scoring game of the week, Mister Chris finally got some much needed British redemption downing the Nutcrunchers 130 - 102, and putting himself into a four way tie breakers.

The top seven teams were in place as the Subsim Committee headed into overtime to break the lock. The first tie breaker rule was divisional winning percentage. Despite winning their last game, the Nighthawks were 3-7 within the division, and the first team relegated out of the tie breaker. Total points scored is the second tie breaker, and naturally, having made it this far, the Delaware Destroyers were zombi-ed out. The tie break between the Nutcrunchers and the reapers would come down to points scored.

Nutcrunchers -1225 points. Reapers - 1309.

The Reapers unlikely win and big score over the Dragons in the final game of the regular season elevates them to the #8 seed in the play offs.

Coach Pit upon being told he'd advanced into the post season, while doing cartwheels, (and not spilling a drop of beer), said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

So here's how the post season will start out next week.

The Taipans (12-2) clinched the #1 seed in the Championship Division and will play # 4 seed, Every Given Sunday (8-6) . These teams did not meet in the regular season. The Dragons (11-3) as the #2 seed will host the #3 team, the Ghost Monkeys (9-5). The Dragons beat the Ghost Monkeys in two games during the regular season.

In the Consolation Series, three teams finished at 7-7 and the same tie breaker rules apply. The Wild Boston Terriers earn the #5 seed, having the same divisional wins as the Black Cats but scoring more points. They host the #8 seed, divisional rivals The Reapers (5-9) who they beat twice during the regular season. The #6 team of The Black Cats with 5-5 divisional wins, also host divisional rivals and the #7 seed, The Guns of Hochuli who have 4-6 divisional wins. The Cats and the Gunners split the regular season games 1-1.

So there we have it. An unlikely top seed, the favorite in the #2 position, and the line in Vegas for the Torpedo Bowl Champion is expected to come out of the Ghost Monkeys and the Dragons game. Next weeks column will be delayed in broadcast, originating from Candlestick Park late Monday night.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 3 sacks, 1 interception, 1 defensive touchdown, 1 blocked kick and allowing less than 14 for a total of 20 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the Seahawk Defense of the Ghost Monkeys with the Week Fourteen MVT.

EVERY GIVEN SUNDAY PUT THE LIGHTS OUT ON TAIPANS
...advance to the Torpedo Bowl.

Week Fifteen in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, first week of the playoffs, and what a wild weekend it turned out to be. We'll have all the news on who did what, who turned out the lights on who, and just exactly who made it to the big game right after this important announcement brought to you by San Francisco's Pacific Gas and Electric.


NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

Let's start at the back end of the week first, cause that's where we learned just how much a coach will do to get into the Championship game. As reported last week, I'm making this account from the second tier of Candlestick Park. I was making a play at one of the Goldrush girls and the last thing I said was "Honest sweetie, may God strike me down if I have dishonorable intentions."

And that's when the lights went out.

When the came back on the last thing I saw was Security wrestling Coach Pioneer out of the back of the score board. "I didn't do it," he was heard to cry, but it was common knowledge that his team, the #1 seed the Taipans were in trouble. Coach Mike of Every Given Sunday had sent Drew Brees (EGS) out and just lit up the scoreboard with 5 touchdowns. With barely a last gasp left Coach Pioneer snuk back into the game to disrupt the game for a second time. Vernon Davis (AT) knew what to do and caught a touchdown to bring the game closer, before eventually running out of light.

Taipns loose a thriller to Every Given Sunday 104-99, and the number 4 seed, who advance to the Torpedo Bowl Championship Game. The Taipans get to sought out third place.

But just who would Coach Mike and the team that barely squeaked into the playoffs, meet next week. The other key game was the powerhouse match between the Dragons and the Ghost Monkeys. The Dragons, early season favorites to scoop the pool started the week as the #2 seed, having lost a shocker in the last week of the playoffs. They were matched against Coach Mookie's new expansion team, the Ghost Monkeys. It wasn't much of a game as the Dragons atoned for the previous week and put up an outstanding 161 points, almost double the Monkeys woeful 84.

In the Consolation Series, the #5 seed the Wild Boston Terriers, had their league leading QB Aaron Rodgers (WBT) suffer a bruised ego as the Reapers, the lowly ranked #8 and in the playoffs after a tiebreaker, sought out to prove their position was less than justified. The Reapers had an beast running game with Reggie Bush for 203 yards, and on the boot of David Akers, eventually kicked free to down the Doggies 95 - 86.

The best game of the week was the #6 and #7 match up of the Guns of Hochuli and the Black Cats. Divisional rivals, having split their match up during the regular season, were now squabbling for the right to meet the Reapers for the league's lavender (#5) medal. This game had more change of leads than I have ever seen, coming down to the wire on the final play of the final Monday game. In the end, the Black Cats stall out, and the Gunner hang on to win 99-95.

So next weeks games look like this. The Subsim Torpedo Bowl wills see the Dragons hosting Every Given Sunday. The Dragons will be in their third consecutive Championship Game having won one and narrowly lost the other. They'll be matched up against Every Given Sunday, who finished fourth last year, and lost to the Dragons two years ago.

Are we looking at a Dragons Dynasty? Only next week will tell. And remember, Saturday games this week, not Sunday.

The bronze medal will be played off between the Taipans and the Ghost Monkeys. The Monkeys make the playoffs in their first year as an expansion team, the Taipans make their first appearance.

In the Consolation Series, and there is still some really good games being played down there, the Guns of Hochuli will be hosting the Reapers, in the third meeting of these two teams this year. The Wild Boston Terriers, with their loss, get one last shot when the Black Cats come to town. Dogs, Cats, has all the makings of a great game.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 3 sacks, 3 interceptions 1 fumble recovery and only allowing 3 points to be scored against them, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the 49ers Defense of the Guns of Hochuli with the Week Fifteen MVT.

DRAGONS BREE(Z)E BY EGS.
Three thrillers to finish out the year.

Week Sixteen in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football.

If you thought the Dragons had it won by Saturday night, you missed being carried off on a Bree(z)e.

If you thought the Wild Boston Terriers couldn't come from 60 points down, you don't know your own tail.

And if you thought FF and Vista couldn't destroy my report not once, not twice but three times in one night, you don't know Explorer.

But we'll get to those games after this very important message.


NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

Let me straight up and say I have not been late without prior notification, and tonight's report took it toll. After Firefox and Vista crashed for the third time, I had an first incomplete pass of 15 yards to my receiver, Brick Wall, long after time had elapsed. This report comes to you from my back up Explorer.

Let's start with the biggest game of the year, the Torpedo Bowl.

The Dragons were setting out to establish themselves as a Dynasty. After last weeks report a minor correction is needed, as the Dragons are 2-1 in the Championship Game in the last four years. Their opponents were the fast finishing Every Given Sunday, who last week knocked the #1 seed out of the Championship game. Coach Rick and the Dragons started quickly Thursday and by Saturday night, there were rumors that the champagne was already flowing.

But a Bree(z) blew in and changed all that.

Eclipsing the long standing Dead Fish Marino's record of most beers passed, Drew Brees (EGS) set about chasing down the Dragons from 30 points back. Coach Rick needed his Dragons receivers of Roddy White (D) and Tony Gonzales (D) to catch anything just to keep in front. Every Given Sunday stormed through and chased down the Dragons in one of the highest combined scoring games of the year. Eventually, the Brees fell short, and the Dragons advance to their third championship 153 - 134 over Every Given Sunday.

The bronze medal game was scheduled between the Australian Taipans and the Ghost Monkeys. Coach Mookie had abandoned last years 1 point loss team and backdoored his way into the Championship Series. The Taipans, in their first play off appearance, choked like a Charger in the week prior. They weren't the flashiest team in the league but they went back to their 100 point consistency that got them the number 1 seed. The Monkeys failed to keep pace, fell behind and eventually loss 67 - 105.

The most interesting game of the weekend was the match between the Wild Boston Terriers and the Black Cats. Coach McBee didn't even show up to the grounds until Sunday, by which time the Cats had already put 70 points on the board. McBee and the Doggies systematically ran the Cats down from 64 points using only the Sunday night and Monday games. The game came down to the wire and the Wild Boston Terriers eventually put the bite on the Black Cats to win 111 - 83.

Divisional rivals the Guns of Hochuli and the Reapers meet for the third time this year in the 5th place game. The Gunners had started the season as red hot favorites before collapsing in the last few weeks. The Reapers had barely made the play offs on a count back, but after defeating the fifth seed the week prior, wanted to prove they were a real play off team. The match teetered back and forth before the Black cats eventually ran out winners 96 - 88.

So the Dragons get their third Torpedo Bowl in one of the best games all year, and the most intriguing scoreline in the last few years. Every Given Sunday, after storming through the last few weeks of the regular season, run out of steam in the final game to take the #2 seed. And the Australian Taipans in their first playoff appearance get to declare a bronze medal at customs when they return home. Next week, we'll have details of the Subsim League superstar team, with a special naming.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 373 yards, 3 touchdowns and 5 rushing yards, for a score of 29.21 points, but more importabtly, 14 points above prediction and enough to help lift the team to their third Bowl win, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Matthew Stafford of the Dragons with the Week Sixteen MVT.

Congrats Rick.:salute:

[mookiemookie]

Congratulations, Rick. Your team was a real steamroller, as usual.

[RickC Sniper]

Thanks Guys. I am a lucky S.O.B. sometimes.

[nikimcbee]

I think this is the best team I've had, except for my running game. That was a total train wreck:dead:.

I was surprised you were never able to work out a trade --getting a good RB for Cam Newton.

It was sad week after week seeing Cam's points sit on your bench. If those points had been in play--WOW!

[mr chris]

Top team yet again Rick. :up:

ALL SUBSIM TEAM NAMED.
Honoring The Best Team.

At this time of year, with the Fantasy Season over and the headaches starting to set it, it comes down to naming the all star team. In previous years, the voting has already started for the Best Of Subsim, but this year, we have time for one more important message.


NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".


The Torpedo Bowl winners, the Dragons, and the third place team the Australian Taipans, were the #1 and #2 all year...until Coach Mike and Every Given Sunday forced themselves into the playoffs. But these three teams don't own the All Star team, with a starting running back and wide receiver coming from teams that didn't make the play offs. Talent was everywhere this year, from the league leaders to first pick of next years draft.

So without further ado, let me present to you, the all star team, named in honor of the team that removed the world's most dangerous man off the wanted list.

2011 US NAVY SEALS ALL STAR GUARDIANS.

[mookiemookie]

No LeSean McCoy? He was only the #2 RB in terms of points scored. Sproles over McCoy? Seriously? Boooooooo!!! :down:

[RickC Sniper]

Indeed, and Aaron Rodgers out produced Brady by 28 points on the season.

At WR, Victor Cruz outscored Roddy White and Steve Smith was only 7th overall at the position.

Gates at TE was outscored by Jimmy Graham by almost 100 fantasy points. No way Gates should make this list. :06:

Akers was the top kicker on the year by far with Crosby 7th at that position and Hanson a distant 11th.

I think there was some Chicago-style voting going on here. :ping:

:haha:
You mean like yahoo's top 5[insert thingy here] lists.

If I had to vote:
Rodgers
Gronk
Jordy

[mookiemookie]

Absolutely. Gates missed three games altogether and had another where he scored nothing at all. Graham never had a game with less than four catches.

Sorry, Gut Wrench, but you need to go back to the drawing board on this list.

[mr chris]

Just the same as the real pro bowl some people who should not be going to Hawaii are. Such is life.

Sproles isn't going to that, either.

On another note, does anyone want to join a ESPN Gridiron Playoff Challenge league?

The objective of Gridiron Challenge is to select a roster of eight (8) offensive professional football players and one (1) team, while staying under the $50.0 million salary cap, and accumulate the most points according to the scoring system. Once a player has been attained at a certain salary, that price is fixed and will not change as long as you have him on your roster. Each roster slot will lock at the scheduled kickoff of each individual football player's game.
