Fantasy Football rant..

[Cuda1447]

So I'm in this league for the 3rd year running with all relatives. I fucking own tehse guys, right? The first two yeas I start the season 5-0 and 6-0. We had a fucked up WW system, so because of my good record I never got a shut at WW picks. Due to this I didnt get any gems and had a mediocre team by end of year. Both years I made playoffs, 3rd place one year 4th the other. BS, but whatever. This year we finally fix the WW. I sneak into the playoffs with a team hand built for the playoffs. I decided I wasn't getting in and getting worked again. I'm playing my Uncle this week in the semi-finals. This cockbag can't even spell right, let alone build a team out of anything other than luck. A few weeks back he beat me by 2 points. He decided to brag about it all week, saying he owned me. Two freaking points, alright big deal.


Anyways, onto the rant. Going into the 4 oclock games I'm down by about 40. I've got Ray Rice (stud) Frank Gore (Stud) Antonio Gates (Stud) and Justin Forsett who should be a stud if the seahawks had a damn clue. First half goes ok. And then onto the second half. down by like 20 points. All he has is Jennings going to my 4 guys. I'm ready to take over the lead and put this chump down for good. What happens? ABSOULTEYLY FUCKING NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gore? 3 points mabye?!?! Rice? A few points, max.... FORSETT?!?!? DID HE EVEN GET A YARD IN THE SECOND HALF?!? I DONT THINK SO. HOW ABOUT GATES? 1 CATCH? 1 FUCKING CATCH. What an asshat. He can score 30 points two weeks ago when it doesn't fucking matter, but in the playoffs, 2nd half... clutch time? Fuck him.

Even my fucking kicker choked. God damn this sport/game/whatever the hell it is. Now I have to listen to my stupid Uncle talk shit all off season when his team sucked balls, my team just decided to not play in the second half of the game. And to make it worse, my freaking dad is in the superbowl against him. I REALLLY dont want that asshat to win. God damn this game.

cliffs: Gates/Forsett/Rice/Gore can go fuck themselves.

As expected... fantasy football is so random.

 

[eits]

tell me about it.

thanks a lot, brett favre. way to not show up to play.

 

[Kyle]

I had the second highest point total this year and ended up dead last and missed the playoffs. Terrible fucking luck. Don't get me started on baseball last year...first place for 75% of the season then everyone got injured and I *gasp* missed the playoffs.

 

[Pollock]

Tell me about it. I was down 118-86 first week after a decent performance by my team and an excellent one by my opponent. Romo, Charles, Austin, Texans all put up monster games while his team starts choking. I think I'm going to claw this one back. Moreno puts up 7, D Williams puts up fucking 1, and fucking Olsen puts up 0. So frustrating.

I have Steve Smith tomorrow, and I need 13 points out of him. If I had just started Pierre Thomas instead of Williams, I'd be in much better shape...

 

[Ricemarine]

Warner/Welker/Rice/Meachem/V. Davis/Akers/Denver all failed me this week.

Stupid projections.

 

[dmw16]

Well I'm glad Gore did nothing cuz it clinched a playoff spot for my Eagles!

But I feel you otherwise. I lost in the playoffs by 2 damn points because Kurt Warner sucks ass like it's his job.

 

[MotionMan]

This is the reason I gave up fantasy sports.

The best owner rarely wins in the end. Too much randomness.

That's how FF works. I won my first 6 games and even had two of the highest scores in the league during that time. Then I go on to loose the next 6 games (4 against the lowest of the low) and then a win the last week. So I miss the playoffs by a single win. The last two weeks, I put up the highest two week total which would have destroyed any of the other 4 playoff teams.

 

[Slew Foot]

I played Jerome Harrison last week. I won by 80 points

 

[soulcougher73]

Yeah i was let down yesterday. Brady, Welker, Meachem didnt put up much. Only person who got me good points was J. Finley (TE). Meanwhile my brother who im playing had Desean Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Todd Heap, Randy Moss all put up big numbers. I can only pull this off tonight if Steve Smith can score me 34 points LOL

 

[TallBill]

If Jason Campbell + Kevin Boss can put up 15.33 points tonight I'll make it to the finals in 3 out of my 4 leagues.

 

[Spineshank]

Same here man. I had 130 points last week..this week 75 going into tonight with 1 player left. That and the guy im playing had 75 last week..this week he has Rodgers put up 41 alone.

 

[Kev]

FF is a joke. I like joining leagues pretty much because I like drafting. The games themselves are a bunch of random nonsense that I get bored of quickly. Seems like every year my team shits the bed in the first round of the playoffs by putting up a season's low total of points.

70% luck 30% skill

 

[TallBill]

70% luck 30% skill

Logic > Emotion, when playing fantasy football

 

[oddyager]

I feel your pain. This is the second year in a row where I finished first in my league in points and wins, and be knocked off after one game in the playoffs. It's any given Sunday alright.

 

[Tea Bag]

Your scoring must be way different because I got 10 and 14 points out of Rice and Gore respectively (10ypp running, 10ypp receiving)

 

[mvbighead]

Add to the getting screwed... Tom Brady! Seriously. 100yds, a TD, and an INT. For shit's sake! 6 points! I dunno of a starting QB in the NFL that did worse this week. And to top it off, I am tied with 0 to play and my opponent with 0 to play. And the tie-breaker rules for the playoffs seems to say that the highest seeded team "wins" in the event of a tie. 6 points for a QB who has Moss, Welker, etc. at his disposal.

 

[lupi]

I made it into the playoffs in all 3 leagues. First place in one, and last in the other two (not surprisingly I had near last draft place in those two leagues).

Aaron Rodgers not showing up last week killed one of my crappy teams while other two advanced. This week Rodgers putting up almost 50 points solo is going to kill my other crappy team. At least that team did knock out one of the high ranked boys. Third team looks to be cruising through as the #2 seed I was expecting to be playing next week has a one point advantage with everyone played but his opponent has one guy on the field tonight.

 

[drum]

If Jason Campbell + Kevin Boss can put up 15.33 points tonight I'll make it to the finals in 3 out of my 4 leagues.

I need 18 points from Campbell to make the finals.
Naturally I sat Palmer against SD since he hasn't been worth crap since the bye week. 19 points...
DeAngelo williams got hurt in Q1 so i'm pretty screwed. This is the 3rd guy that has gotten hurt in the first quarter when i've been playing against this particular fantasy team. ugh

 

[joesmoke]

last week i got around 8 pts from Rodgers when i needed a playoff win... this week he gives me 43 pts for a consolation game in which im starting Chris Henry

 

[edro]

I was 12-1 in the regular season, and lost both of my playoff games.

 

[drum]

I was 12-1 in the regular season, and lost both of my playoff games.

ouch.
The guy in our league that had the points lead by 100 over the next guy all year didn't even get a first round bye and lost the first round game

 

[MotionMan]

One year the commish screwed up the playoff seeding and refused to fix it before the first playoff game. I lost to the team I played with a score that would have beat my rightful opponent. The next week, my score would have beat my rightful Championship Game opponent.

So, instead of being crowned the Champion, I was knocked out in the first round.

I was ready to quit FF before that, but that was the last straw.
