Fantasy season round-up

I haven't done an overall roundup in a while, partially due to bad results, partially due to being extremely busy.

WCOFF Main League - 7-5 (winner of the 3rd place game) - I lost in a heartbreaking finish in week 11 to miss the League Championship game, and the chance at 6K for first. I did win my 3rd place game, getting $500 back, and earning a spot in the consolation bowl for some $$$, but way below the 200K I was shooting for.

WCOFF Draftmasters - 1st place out of 12 (not head to head) - We are riding LT as far as he can take us, as the rest of the team has been disappointing. The chase is for 6K to first. Paul and I will split this league again next year, most likely.

WCOFF Auction - 4-7 (finished 4th in points out of 12) - We made some bad lineup decisions, and had a ridiculous amount of points scored against us, which caused us to have a bad head to head record. The season is over, but I felt we did a very good job in this draft. I think we'll definitely split this league again next year.

WCOFF Satellite #1 - 6th place out of 12 (not head to head) - Made a big drop in 3 weeks, but still only a few points out of 2nd. Need to be in the top 4 within 2 weeks for the playoffs. My teams fall has co-incided with the injury to McGahee and Brown, as well as Marques Colston.

Champions Club - 8-4 (4th in points) - Just ended one of the worst 4 week stretches ever. I was 7-0, but lost week 8 (best 4 players on a bye week), lost week 9 (lost McGahee for 3 weeks), lost week 10 (lost Portis for the season), lost week 11 (lost McNabb for the season), then won week 12 (but lost Ronnie Brown for an undetermined length of time. One week left, and I am 99% sure I will be in the playoffs, but it will be a tough hall with the makeshift lineup I have. There is still potential there, but Roy and TO need to play huge, and I have to find a QB to play.

Labelle's League - 4-8 (8th in points) - Team has fallen apart with 4 straight losses. I lost some very high scoring games, then Portis and McNabb got hurt for the season. I decided 2 weeks ago to build towards next year, so I traded Wayne for a future draft choice (since he is ineligible to be kept for next year).

Ultimate Dynasty - 3-9 (9th in power rankings) - I didn't expect to contend this year, and now I have lost 7 straight after a promising start. My rookie draft last year was huge, as I got potential studs in Maroney and Jones-Drew, as well as a serviceable RB in Lundy. Now I need to address WR either in the draft or in off-season trades. Drew may have some big trade value, but I'm not all that excited to trade him either, as he could be a future building block. It won't be long until my youth movement in this league makes my team a power.

Auction practice - 8-4 (1st in power rankings) - Solid team here, despite one of my top players getting hurt before the season started (Dom Davis). I have a hugely reliable WR corps in Andre Johnson, Boldin, Evans, Coles and Mark Clayton, and a decent RB group in McGahee, Jamal Lewis, Maroney and Marion Barber. I have had the high score for the last 2 weeks, earning money for both weeks, and the team is peaking at the right time. I will also likely start Vince Young, as he is rolling right now.

article that I read today

Nothing incredibly interesting here, except that I have one question. Why the hell wasn't this already happening???

Milky Way's

Before leaving for work today, I grabbed some of Abby's halloween candy. Included in this bounty was a small Milky Way bar. After eating it this morning, I read this on the label "MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS". Hmmm, interesting. In all of my years of eating these I have never encountered a peanut. Don't they know what they are putting in their candy bars????

The explanation is likely to be really simple, so I'll save explaining it...but suffice it to say I found this very interesting.
