‘Gally Blog Fantasy Football Competition’ Archive

Once again my Fantasy Football Team went against a top contender (Ben Roethlisberger) and got screwed over. So in our fucked up league, the Special Teams touchdowns go to the Defense instead of the player… But the player still gets return yardage points? So I started Eddie Royal. Needless to say, he got my opponent 12 points for his return touchdowns and only 6 points for me.
You throw in the fact that Philadelphia ruined a $150, 3-team Parlay that I was going to hit if they could beat the worst team in the league by 2 TDs like the Giants did and the fact that the Jets knocked me out of my suicide pool. And Logic is not very happy. Oh and did we mention that Notre Dame, New York Giants and Yankees all lost within 3 days of each other? Yeah. I’ve been cutting myself since Saturday and our cunt crack team of writers has been reminding me of it all day.
Btw: I’m getting destroyed in this league as well due to BYE weeks. Just as a p.s.
Top Performers:
QB: Tom Brady- Owned by Punter and Brandon. Have you heard of Tom Brady? He’s this no-name QB out of Michigan who split time and got drafted with the 199th pick overall. He’s supposed to suck. Doesn’t he get it? Well he threw 6 touchdowns yesterday and 380 yards. Most of that in 1 quarter of football. Pretty much all of it before half-time.
QB: Drew Brees-375 total yards and 4 TDs for the near perfect Brees against the Gmen. Hope your real proud of yourself, Tunison.
QB: Ben Roethlisberger- 428 total yards, 2 TD and 1 INT for Shiancock.
QB: Matt Schaub- 392 yards 3 TDs and 1 INT for Dr. Kra.
RB: Ray Rice- Owned by P/b. 184 total yards and 2 TDs for their bench. HA! That’s what you get for being an important blogger and going to Las Vegas without me!
RB: MJD: 178 total yards, 3 TDs and 1 lost fumble for Andrew Bucholtz. Even though he still hasn’t listened to Uncle Logic and started Joshua Cribbs yet…
RB: Thomas Jones- 227 total yards and 1 TD in the pathetic loss to the Bills for Max Payne.
RB: dEaNGELO Williams- 172 yards and 2 TDs for Max as well.
WR: Randy Moss- 129 yards and 3 TDs in the brutal beat down of the Titans for Rob from WI.
WR: Marques Colston- 166 yards and 1 TD in the rout of my Giants. Owned by Flubby.
WR: Welkahhh- 150 yards and 2 TDs as the security binky for Tom Brady and Ape.
WR: Eddie Royal- Owned by Gally. This lucky Canadian some how started him in this league which DOES get points for return yards and TDs… So that’s twice I’m fucked with this one.
Bad Starts:
Miles Austin and Ronnie Brown- Owned by P/b. They both had Byes. These guys were in Vegas so fuck us right?
Steve Smith (Carolina)- Bucholtz- Got him 0.40 points in the run happy offense of the Panthers. Even though the Giants Steve Smith didn’t play well either, he didn’t play this bad.
Willis McGahee- Owned by James Brown. Earned him less than a point.
Matt Hasselbeck- Gimp… in the week of the QBs you manage to earn 1.68 points. You need a shit ton of ritalin and a fantasy guide my friend…
Nate Washington- Had -22 yards receiving for Punter and Brandon. They’ve made this list a lot today…
Julius Jones, Mercedes Lewis- Flubby, Jones had 5 yards for you. I have more ether rags than that. Lewis? Yep. 5 yards as well. Combined for a point.
Rob Bironas- Nailed 0 points for James Brown during the shut out in New England.
Denver- Somehow has -5 points for Ape even though they only gave up 24 points and have 1 sack. I don’t know what that’s about.
Bad Sits:
Ray Rice- Owned by P/b. He could have started for Ronnie Brown and he had 184 total yards and 2 TDs.
Jon Stewart (not the funny/handsome one)- Owned by Rob. Had his breakout performance of the year with 110 yards and 1 TD. Who was going to predict that? I sure as hell wouldn’t. But I needed to fill space. Sorry Rob.
Zach Miller- Maximus sat him during his 139 yard, 1 TD performance. He was most likely the sole reason the Raiders beat the Eagles. Well that and Andy Reid spilling mustard all over his play sheet.
Good Starts:
Eddie Royal- Gally lucked out with this one, in his otherwise unimpressive week against a poor wittle team with BYE week troubles. I guess every dog has his day. Maybe he’ll touch a boob soon?
Good Sits:
New York Giants- Flubby has the Giants and didn’t start them v. the Powerhouse that is New Orleans. Unfortunately, I’m not that keen of a fantasy player and started them in my money league because of that whole #1 defense ranking and all. So what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object? Let’s just say something fucking moved.
Reggie Wayne, Marion Barber, Tashard Choice, Vernon Davis, Nacho Sanchez and Chansi Stuckey- Owned by Logic. Great sits for me. All combined for .36 of a point. (4 had a BYE, I just really wanted to make my own list).
Pick Up of the Week
This week I’m going with Tom Brady. If he’s open in your league… Grab this guy! Just kidding. No one flew under the radar this week and therefore I don’t have a pick of the week (Jermichael Finley didn’t have a break out week. He just played OKAY for Dr. Kra who did take my advice, which I like. P.S. More like JERKmichael, am I right Doc?)
Ok that wraps it up for me. Of course the Monday night game is still going on and if you didn’t start Eddie Royal or Darren Sproles you were a silly goose. Or in my money leagues’ case, Broncos and Chargers.

- Funny... AND TRUE!!
Like always, my fantasy league that is for money has to get hit by an unstoppable force. (See: Week 1 Drew Brees or Week 4 Rashard Mendenhall), this week it was Michael Turner for 3 TDs, not to mention a Calvin Johnson injury and an Aaron Rodgers BYE. But here is the Sports Bloggers Fantasy Breakdown of Week 5. I decided to get all in-depth on your monkey asses because we’re almost a 1/3 of the season in.

Alright so I pretty much have claimed this weekly post as my own. I also made the boner move of the century (in my league for money) dropping Rashard Mendenhall for Glen Coffee which allowed my opponent to snatch him off of waivers and start him in time for the game for a whopping 33 points. I was winning 68-13 going into the SNF game. Now it’s 72-71 after his King Laserface/Mendenballsinmouth combo. So rip on me for that move no doubt, but also try to compliment me on the Coffee pick up. He had 12 points and I’m sensitive :(
Alright so back to the Sports Blogger League in which my luck isn’t doing much better. I’m against Shiancock who had a decent week despite a whole crap load of Bye Weeks due to a ATL/ARI heavy team. I’m up by a slim 15 points and he has Ryan Grant and Green Bay’s defense against my Minnesota Defense. My Fantasy Advice is much much better than my Fantasy Performance…

Well, since I just got done disposing of ALL of my disposable income in that hellish demontown Atlantic City, I figured I owed you guys a post. Especially since Bucholtz requested this. So here is the Sports Bloggers Fantasy Football Breakdown of Week 3. (For Weeks 1 and 2, go here)
Top Performers:
QB: Aaron Rodgers- Owned by Gally. Rodgers is my MVP pick for this year and he looked like one this week with 269 yards and 2 TDs in the air on top of 38 yards and 1 TD from the ground.
QB: Peyton Manning- Owned by Gimp. Manning has 220 yards and 3 TDs at halftime of the Sunday Night game.
RB: Maurice Jones Drew- Owned by Bucholtz. Had 113 total yards and 3 TDs. Solid day.
RB: Willis McGahee- Owned by James Brown. Had 67 yards and 2 TDs. This guy has 6 TDs already this season and I think some Philadelphian Bloggers need to apologize to me.
WR: DeSean Jackson- Owned by Sac-Town Kings. 149 yards and 1 TD.
Bad Sits:
Jericho Cotchery-Had 125 total yards and 1 TD. Owned by Shiancock, But I am doing this post on a Sunday Night and he has both receivers left to play.
Ben Roethlisberger- Owned by Shiancock, Had 20.3 fantasy points to Matt Ryan’s 7.8 in the Stiller’s tough loss to the Bungles.
Ahmad Bradshaw- Owned by Gimpshot. Would have gave him 12.35 points over Derrick Ward’s bagel.
DeSean Jackson- Too bad one of our Top Performers was on Sac-Town’s bench.
Willis McGahee- Jimmy Brown wishes he had this guy in for Tomlinson.
Bad Start:
Terrell Owens: Owned by some douche bag. Owens had 0 yards. FML. I didn’t even have anyone better to start.
Minnesota Vikings: Again, me. Got me -2 points somehow. I don’t own another defense so maybe I should look into that.
Derrick Ward: Owned by Gimpshot. Earned him .9 of a point.
Ted Ginn Jr: Owned by Sac-Town. Earned him 0 points.
Brian Westbrook: Owned by Favarro Must Die. DNP. Having Benson and Willie Parker on the bench doing well doesn’t help either.
Frank Gore: Owned by Flubby. I guess this has to go in the bad start category but Frank Gore was knocked out of the game with his ankle issues and got Flubman .4 of a point.
LaDanian Tomlinson- Owned by Jimmy Brown. DNP
Pick Up of the Week:
Pierre Garcon- Indianapolis Colts- Owned by Gally- This kid seems to be the real deal after a break out performance in week 2 and another stellar performance in week 3.

- First thing to pop into our heads when we hear the phrase "Fantasy Football."
So the first annual Gally Blog Blogger Fantasy Football happened yesterday. 9/12 of the players managed to show up, while the other three got auto drafted. Logic was one of those three as he was on a plane, so we’ll forgive him even though he got a decent team out of it. It was a serpentine draft, and even though I could list the whole thing in order we’re we’re going to just list it team by team so you can mock each team. Or praise it. Or not even read this article. Whatever.
Logic: Hey Gallions. Sorry I missed the draft. I had a plane at 4PM, Chicago time, and then didn’t get home until about 8:30PM Eastern. I was really pissed that I missed the draft and even madder that I had pick #2 and couldn’t map out a strategy for it. All my other drafts have been at the back end. All my dates are like that too. So I guess I’ll give a little analysis on each guy’s team and give their best picks, worst picks and any steals that they grabbed.
Monday Morning Punter-Unmotivated Leather:
1. (1) Adrian Peterson
2. (24) Tom Brady
3. (25) Ronnie Brown
4. (48) T.J. Houshmandzadeh
5. (49) Antonio Gates
6. (72) Larry Johnson
7. (73) Donnie Avery
8. (96) Ray Rice
9. (97) Lee Evans
10. (120) Nate Washington
11. (121) James Davis
12. (144) Devery Henderson
13. (145) Miles Austin
14. (168) John Kasay
15. (169) New England
Logic: Punter grabbed the first pick and obviously had to go with Adrian Peterson. I always hated that pressure. Like a few years ago when LaDanian Tomlinson was in his prime, you just had to pick him. I don’t like that because then he gets hurt and it either sucks for you or he does amazing and you don’t pick him and then people say you suck at life. Punter went with the former and you can’t bash him for that. I think his best pick was waiting until the 15th round to take New England’s defense. I’m sure I would have taken the Giants defense in the 8th round given that I was there and he waited that long to grab a defense that is going to be just as solid even though they lost Richard Seymour. I think Ronnie Brown is going to hurt his team a little bit. If you take away his 4 TD game against New England it almost halves his total on the season. Not to mention he isn’t much of a pass catcher but I’m looking and the only pick in the 3rd round that I would’ve grabbed over him was either Philip Rivers of Thomas Jones. Now that I’m looking at the draft results, seeing Tom Brady go in the last pick of the 2nd round seems like that is one of the most insane things I’ve seen in a while.
Gally: A very good selection. Don’t take this the wrong way Punter, but I hope Brady’s other knee gets mangled this year. I’d be hesitant to take a Ram for a WR, but I guess that shows some balls. Or some pre-draft paint huffing.

So as you all know, or perhaps didn’t know, The Gally Blog is hosting a Sports Blogger Fantasy Football Competition. As it happened to work out, it’s the three of us from here, three from The Phoenix Pub, three members of KSK, and three guys from assorted places.
Here is everybody who is participating, and their team names. Feel free to mock or praise in the comments.

gimp: Ghost of Sean Taylor
logic: Donte’s DD

James Brown: The Godfathers
Rob from WI: Favarro Must Die

There are some creative names there, but it lacks the obscenity that I’m used to. I’m going to give Adam a nod for Best of Show, with a grade of A. Overall, as a group I give us a collective C. But hey, C’s get degrees.
