Note: My Kosardawgs have been on a roll. However, last week, we were still celebrating the Browns' huge win over the ratbirds, while being on vacation. More on that later, the Kosardawgs had people on bye week, and lost embarrassingly in both leagues. "What goes up must go down?" Yep. We're back, though.

Okay, so Tuesday nights are trivia night and I can't miss trivia to type up a league report. I am so invaluable to my trivia team they wouldn't know what to do without me. ::hysterical laughter in the background:: Who else would know the capital of Oregon? Besides ... I can't miss a dip into the craft brew heaven "What's On Tap?" just for this crowd. Wednesdays SHOULD be okay for typing up reports but I spent last Wednesday night at work filling 150 dropper bottles with simulated blood for the Forensics lesson I'm in charge of that happened on Thursday. This Wednesday promises to be more of the same (the last 150 bottles need to be filled for an even larger group THIS Thursday and that's likely when they'll be delivered by our friends at UPS). So ... y'all are stuck with last week's standings in the middle of this week's games. (And nobody better give me grief about not ordering the bottles and getting all this stupid blood stuff done in advance because it all has to do with when my superiors were willing and able to release the money to authorize the purchase and nobody is happy about it.) So.... not that anybody cares... (a line from the Big Bang Theory... bazinga!) Week 4; JEFFREY'S GRAND TEAM smacked Dirty hands for a 56 point Biggest Blowout win, becoming a Toyota Hall of Fame Legend of Fantasy football. If my math is correct, and it seldom is, this is the second highest margin of victory of the season. The record is held, ironically, by Dirty Hands, who clobbered toxic's avengers in week one. I'm sure someone will gleefully correct me if I'm wrong. The current standings are: Team Whoopass 4-0-0 Though Whoopass is predicted to win this week, he's currently behind toxic's avengers by a score of 51-13. The Avengers picked up 21 points from Buffalo's Jackson and 15 from Cleveland's Josh Gordon. to kick off this week's contests. If you like rooting for the underdog, throw your enthusiasm to the 9th place Avengers. At 3-1: Calfox KosarDawgs, The Hammer, and Browns 57. 2-0 teams: DD's, Dirty Hands, Kamac 19 and the previously mentioned Jeffrey's Grand Team. 1-3: toxic's avengers, Oreo's Team, Gocong or Go Home. Oreo is too busy playing with her Cat's Meow toy (As Seen on TV!) to pay any attention to her team. Currently charged with tapping the keg and decorating the basement for the eventual championship party: The last place Choo Choo's. Go Brownies!

Cannot wait for Sunday!...but then again tonight is Football Friday Night!!!!!!! Still love HS football even though Lister Jr is well into college studies now

The fantasy football is just plain fun. Now, Bowl Mania is even more fun. And, I promise never to whine about not drafting first again. It sucked. I got a great qb, and the rbs were a whole lot gone, along with some top wideouts. Ah, lesson learned. Thanks for all the write ups, they were fun to read.

@cowsrus said: Are you ready to ruuuummmmbbbbblllleeee?! Good luck to everyone in the playoffs in all of the leagues (except for those teams I have to play). Just kidding (no I'm not). This season went pretty quick. P.S. Whateve happened to league 5? There was a league 5 wasn't there? If there wasn't, I need to ease up on the Friday night bottle of wine. There is a league 5, but it has never been reported. It's called Browns Board 5. The playoffs are as follows: (1) Utzie vs. (4) Browns57 (2) Browns149 vs. (3) Golf Wand Hooligans http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/462202

It's all about picking upsets. And Forida Int. sucks. LOL Rich.... or Zombo.... the tension is crazy on the Brownsboard.... @@

Beanpot's League Okay ... Let's see ... Werewolves of Linden became the latest in a long line of teams (6 to be precise) to smack down Greenville Mayhem. When asked about this latest defeat, Mayhem grumbled something about having tried every possible combination of players with no luck. "They seem to sense when they're in my lineup and take the opportunity to ride the pine, take the week off, rest on their laurels, or whatever it is that players do when they don't score POINTS," emphasizing the last word with crazy eyes, followed by deep breaths and a frustrated smirk. Werewolves: 109 and the Toyota Trophy, Mayhem 51 fewer points. 51!!!! Gad. Believeland took a shot at knocking off Beanpot. Suspiciously, Larry Fitzgerald and Chicago's DEF, who were both expected to score an unimpressive 8 points each, scored 28 and 30 points respectively for Beans, giving him the win. Believeland was mute in defeat, evidently stunned by either the closeness of the contest, Beans' uncanny knack of squeezing massive points out of his players, or the fact that the Browns found yet one more odd way to lose. (Haven't we seen EVERY possible way for the Browns to lose???) Of course, nearly every fantasy team owner has been mute in both victory AND defeat this season. Must be something in the water. Or the beer. Oh... Beans 110 and the Viagra award, Believeland 95. Da da da da-dot the I ... da da da da-dot the I da da da da da da-dot the I I I ..... (I'll leave you to figure out the tune I had running through my head) Anyway. The Usual Suspects fell victim to da da da da Dot the I 106-58. Zombo's WildDawgs knew their coach and general manager was kicking up his heels and avoiding taxi doors in Cleveland, so they goofed around too, losing to the last place Redneck Roosters, 86-62. Must've been some of Hoorta's orange stuff that did them all in. (There are pictures.) The Average Joe's team didn't play all that well but Bob Gronkowski (27) kicked it into high gear and made up for the slackers. Gronkowski must've stolen yards from BenJarvis Green-Ellis (zip) who played for the Joes opponent, NavDawg's Browns. Marcel Reese added another nada to the Browns' points column, giving the win to the Joes, 88-67. Green-Ellis and Reese will each be receiving 40 lashes with a wet noodle as a consequence of their worthless performances. The Ballantyne Buckeyes and the TexChainsaw Massaquoi were both underachievers this week. Is the more successful underachiever the team who scored more points (hence winning the game and being successful despite underachieving) or the team who lost (therefore proving themselves the best at doing the worst)? I'm sure the one or two people who have read this will not lose sleep over the dilemma. Buckeyes 74, Massaquoi 70 in sort of a squeaker. Massaquoi is now trying to figure out why he didn't put Gano and SF's DEF in instead of Folk and Baltimore's D. Ooops, there it is. Oreo's Hangout Oreo was evidently searching for mice, sharpening her claws, and lying back licking her chops after treats instead of coaching her team. Beanpot had his team back in top working order. Beans 91, Cat 79. Oreo currently has the distinction of having exactly the same points for and against: 782. I'm not sure what that means, but in a season with very little to meow about, I guess that's something. Bronx Browns lost Knowshon Moreno (3) to a season-ending torn ACL. Starting QB Jay Cutler (1). CJ Spiller (0), and Mohammed Massaquoi (0) also didn't help. The Browns weren't able to overcome. Not even Bob Gronkowski's 27 (left on the bench) would have been sufficient to top the DD's who brought home the bacon. DD's 69, BB's 32. The Bronx Browns have one thing to smile about: They weren't the lowest scoring team. The "worst of the worst" honors this week go to Kamac 19 whose team did a spectacular job of performing below expectations. Kamac has official permission to walk around with a frowny face or whatever one does on this sort of occasion. The Hammer lucked out, winning a 6th in a row, 78-31. Lambdo's Air Show seems to be taking a run at the #4 spot and a stab at the championship. With four weeks to go and dirty hands fading in the stretch, there's a possibility he might pull it off. Air Show took on Choo Choo's who didn't make it easy with Arian Foster (27) leading the charge. Air Show managed to fend off the attack and notch a critical victory, grabbing the Viagra to in the process. Air Show 104, Choo Choo's 94. Dirty hands opened the door for Air Show (to move up in the standings)and let Kentucky Barn Burner win the matchup all in one fell swoop. Barn Burner was smokin' with Aaron Rodgers (30) and Laurent Robinson (19). Barn Burner 100, Hands 65. Gocong Or Go Home clung to the League lead by leveling hammertime 92-57 Th-th-that's all for now, folks!

It's been a grueling week at work y'all. Beanpot's League There were lots of healthy scores this week and Beans won the Viagra award. LeSean McCoy's 27 points teamed up with Cam Newton (20) to chalk up 111 points. The Redneck Roosters gave it their all but were not up to the Beans juggernaut. Final:111-80. Ballatyne Buckeyes capitalized on 29 points from Detroit's Defense and 27 from Adrian Peterson to smack down Dot the I, 109-79. Ray Rice (31) almost singlehandedly turned over the Biggest Blowout award to the Usual Suspects. The Suspects topped Mayhem by 32 points, 104-72. Zombo's WildDawgs gave the game ball to Steven Jackson (28) in the victory over NavDawg's Browns 81-75. Werewolves of Linden are hanging on to first place after knocking off Average Joe's 77-72. Luckiest team of the week: TexChainsaw Massaquoi 52 points managed to play the only team with a lower score: Believeland. 49. Oreo's Hangout DD's smacked down Choo Choo's with lots of points points. DD's could have played with half of his active players tied up out back and still won. Steven Jackson (28) and Calvin Johnson (20) led the way to the high scorer's trophy for the D's who put away the Choo Choo's 108-69. No cheese this week for dirty hands with Mark Sanchez on a bye. Ryan Fitzpatrick was a suitable substitute and Rice (31) chipped in with unusual ardor. dirty hands 107, hammertime 78. The Hammer didn't have to work very hard to pound Kentucky Barn Burner but Matthew Stafford (24) delivered a blow anyway. Barn Burner activated his best players but got singed by the bye. Hammer 103 and the Biggest Blowout trophy, Barn Burner 42. Gocong or Go Home went home. At least the players went home before scoring enough points. Lambdo's Air Show had an easy time of it, putting this one away 93-75. This was Gocong's first loss of the season. Beanpot, with win #3 in a row, 78 Bronx Browns 46 Oreo's Team, with win #3 in a row (is there an echo in here?) 76 Kamac 19 57.

When do playoffs start

In these leagues, with you people as competition.... my superbowl is staying off the bottom of the rankings. "sigh" GGG

Woof Woof! We're Howling for an update.....You guys do great work with these reports.

Great write up!! hammertime needs to eclipse 100 pts to be a contender week in and week out. P.S. i'm still waiting to be immortalized for my winning 2010 season.

Can I just make the claim that I got straight raped by the injury bug this year? like not just in our league too, it's straight bullcrap. Apparently i angered the fantasy gods this year.

You have to LOVE these reports ! And we appreciate the time you all spent writing them. Flea Flickers kick backside, my Kosardawgs will be back. I think. @@

@samatlanta said:One of my lasting memories of that event (there were many) was the protest outside the owners' hotel. The WBAL sign was a mobile billboard towed by a pickup truck with one guy in it. I think it said "Baltimore and the Browns...A great team". A few of the Atlanta BB guys spotted it and headed that direction. Mayor White sprinted after them, blocked their path and said, "No, no, no. This isn't what we're about." They rejoined the rest of the group. For the record, they did pay the guy towing the sign a friendly visit after the rally. I believe he had to call AAA after all of his tires inexplicably went flat. Wisely, he didn't put up a fight. I was told that a few SOBers turned off or did something to the sign. Apparently the hotel security saw the folks who did it but looked the other way. Pat was a godsend during those days. I wish I knew where she was to tell her that we still appreciate all she did to keep us informed.

@djdawg2010 said:You may want to ask that to the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. I think they went 3 games or so in a row where they won by strictly kicking field goals. Then again their defense was sick! Boring or not... JUST WIN BABY! The 2000 Ravens went 5 consecutive games without scoring a td. How's that for mind numbing offensive boredom?

I guess the positive is in the past, we have been overwhelmed with the head coaching hires, only to be disappointed in the end, so maybe being underwhelmed at the beginning is a good thing.

I enjoyed all of the updates, my hats off to all of you who contributed. maybe we can a few shots of Heidi for the cheerleader thread.

I think Zombo has the right ideal....
