The League
The League is a brilliant show (immediately after It's Always Sunny). Also the dirtiest every shown on television. The use of a Dirty Sanchez confirmed it.

Time for some meaningless stats!
Since we're near the middle of the season, thought I'd throw out my HTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTH standings, plus a few bonus stats!
Current standings:
1)Crows - 5-2
2)GOATS - 5-2
3)Grill - 4-3
4)Draft - 4-3
5)Spoon - 3-4
6)Cool - 3-4
7)HOOOSE- 3-4
8)EH - 3-4
9)Rocket- 3-4
10)Pooler 2-5
Of course, some people catch bad breaks here and there (having a huge week, only to catch a matchup with the highest scoring team of the week). If we each played EVERYONE else every week, here's what the standings would look like:
1)Crows - 43 wins
T2)Grill - 39 wins
T2)Spooner - 39 wins
4)Draft - 35 wins
5)HOOOOSE - 34 wins
6)Coolah! - 32 wins
7)EH - 29 wins
T8)Goat - 24 wins
T8)Corn - 24 wins
10)Poolah (still) - 15 wins
What do we learn from this? Tony's good, Pooler, not so much. AJ has caught a few breaks along the way, and everybody else is about where they need to be based on scoring.
Some other interesting stats:
Toughest schedule (highest per week average against) - Pooler, his opponents are scoring an average of 100 points per week.
Easiest schedule (lowest per week average against) - AJ, his opponents are scoring an average of 80 points per week.
No surprises with highest and lowest average scores (Crows and Handwich).
The GOAT's have been the most consistent team week to week: his average score is 82, his median 82, with a standard deviation of only 12 points.
I've been far and away the least consistent: average of 97, median of 88 (my 148 point week helped with that), with a standard deviation of 28 points!
Something that I've thought about undertaking (but won't) is looking at everyone's record had they played their "optimum lineup", in an attempt to gauge the relative strength of everyone's team (but even I don't have enough free time for that).

I'll try and get the spreadsheet up onto Google docs sometime today for those of you interested. I'm sure Sweet Dee will be doing some kind of statistical analysis on the teams in the next few weeks as well.

Tom appears to have hit the jackpot
with Cedric Benson
I guess he's making up for years of F-ing me over.

MPTH3.0 = Pure Genius
Does anyone realize that Matt Schaub has the MOST points in our league. That's right the MOST!
Not APete, not Mr. Bundschen, not Double Stuff League, not Birthmark face, and not little MJD.
It's Freaking "Matt Schaub"
Unbelievable!
Shout out to Ray Rice for being the 3rd best RB in the league.

The curse of over thinking
So Ronnie Brown is going up against New Orleans next weekend.
OR I have Pierre Garcon going against St. Louis.
What to do! What to do !
SST&BF members, lend me your votes!!

I thought...
that Norv Turner was some kind of offensive guru?! He doesn't seem to know how to correctly use the personnel at his disposal. Wasting screen passes on LT?! Running a halfback dive with Sproles from the three yard line!? He seems a little confused to me. Sure I would have loved to see Sproles punch it in on that goal line attempt but give him a play better suited for his ability...half back toss maybe or play action and throw it to him in the flats. I can't prove it just yet but I think Norv is out to ruin my fantasy season! Update may follow.
UPDATE:
I've got another bone to pick with "Coach" Turner. What's up with bringing Sproles in on third down to block!!?? Either swing him out or leave LT's big butt in the game!!!
UPDATE:
12pts is not unrealistic with more than half the game left for the Spooner Express (trailing 89 - 101) to make up. Eddie Royal is sure making it interesting...oh yeah, let us not forget about the Denver defense!!
UPDATE:
WTF!!!!! On third and three they motion Sproles out wide and he doesn't even run a route!!!! Not one single step forward or backward when the ball is snapped!!?? WTF is going on here????
UPDATE:
SCREW YOU "COACH" TURNER!!! We'll get ours on special teams!

Why does Matt Millen have a job in football ???
Hasn't the man proven he knows little if anything about football???
Career lows. Wow. I really know how to pick'em.
New player notes Mon, Oct 19
Hasselbeck posted a career-low 32.5 quarterback rating Sunday, completing only 10-of-29 passes for 112 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
Recommendation: Perhaps most disappointing about this game is it came against a Cardinals defense that was the worst in the league against the pass. Hasselbeck, though, is suffering from a makeshift offensive line that can't protect him (five sacks) and can't run block (franchise-low 14 rush yards).

Two matchups still up in the air
MPTH v3.0 vs RHC and GOATS vs EH All Stars.
Will it be the Bills' field goal against the Jets in OT that sinks MPTH? Will Steve Smith's goose egg against TB be the deciding factor for RHC?
The Giants really let the GOATS down yesterday, can Sproles take up the slack? Fortunately for the GOATS, the Minny defense was nearly as bad, and throw in a nil from Maclin (against the Raiders, really?), and you're looking at an exciting Monday night.
GO OFFENSE!!!!

Anyone see the Dante Wesley play/fight in the Panther's game? I like the Panthers but that was dirty.
It's about time
DeAngello Williams gets his first touchdown of more than twenty yards (after tying Walter Payton's record last year).

Why the World Cup is great!
This is the reaction from the Honduras announcers in the US/Costa Rica WC Qualifier. The US' tying goal put Honduras into the WC for 2010.
Note: Volume MUST be on and preferably at ear screeching volume

Big Fan
Has anyone seen Big Fan? I think it's out of the Raleigh market but I've wondered if it's worth tracking down.

Ah well....
I was hoping for the undefeated season but that was truly unrealistic. Especially when Willis MaGahee only gets two touches the whole game without being injured and then this happens:

Sims-Walker is a surprise inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle due to a violation of team rules, the Jaguars' official site reports.
NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THIS!!!! Even the fantasy guru, Matthew Berry, was calling Sims-Walker a top 5 receiver play only minutes before the game started. Oh well, had to lose sometime. Now that thats out of the way time to focus on winning the championship!
Ninja edit:
UPDATE:
Nice touch Ninja!

Its looking as if I dont have the patience for FF
The Solja drops like 19 pts after I drop him.
Even Eddie Royal's 9 points is 9 more than both my receivers COMBINED.

Well, you cant win'em all
Or, in the case of State, win the one's against one of the crappiest teams in the nation.

rookie question #2
So how do I deal with the bye week for my tight end/kicker/defense
Do I just let it ride and take the hit on their nonexistent production since this is a keeper league?
How does the waiver thing work?
How do trades work, I've been solicited a couple of times now and I don't even know what/how to respond, regardless of whether or not I can determine if I want to participate.
