    Fantasy Champions (The Jimmy Johnson Memorial Trophy Case)

    For history's sake: I won 2014's Fun League 2 because I had Romo and Dez on my team. I won 2014's Auction League because, uh, I had Joseph Randle.

    I do like that there's actually one team from each division in the divisional round this year (or does it happen more often than I realize?)

    I like how the real winner of the call was Seattle - they get a pre-season warmup with Carolina before dealing with the scraps of whomever survives the Cowboys-Packers bludgeoning. Hell, I'm already tired of the "Does Seattle's second championship mean the Brady-Manning/Pocket QB/AFC as real...

    As much as this hurts to say... Go Lions! (Would much rather have the toothless Panthers against the Packers, and the Lions beating up the Seahawks, than Romo in his home state and the Seahawks with essentially two weeks rest.)

    It was commonly thought Harbaugh was gone before the season even started. That's nothing to do with injuries, suspensions, playcalling, or front office moves. The question now becomes, do the 49ers end up in third or fourth place in that division next season?

    Is the implication Gordon was so high he couldn't even pick out his own name? So glad the NFLPA is fighting tooth and nail for the rights of players to throw their (already short) careers away.

    Most coaches' contracts have 'offsets' built-in, which basically means that the old team is still on the hook for the difference. E.g. I had $3Mil a year guaranteed, I get a new job that pays me $1Mil a year, the original team still has to pay $2Mil a year to get me back to the guarantee. And...

    So the Bears suffered another demoralizing loss AND managed to lose in a manner that got me into the Championship in the Auction and Fun II Leagues. Nice. Woulda been nicer if the Packers hadn't shit the bed, likely dropping from a first round bye to losing as a wildcard.

    I'm surprised there isn't more playoff talk here. Sure, those AFC wildcards (and the North) are a god damn mess still, but the NFC (outside of the South) is a down to just one question: Seahawks/Cardinals/Packers/Lions/Eagles/Cowboys. One of them isn't playing in January. And it sure looks...

    I've been telling you guys, the first time the Packers run into a good defense (Lions, Seahawks), the wheels probably fall off. Hell, with Lions and Bills in the regular season still, it's not inconceivable they end up the #5 seed and lose to Atlanta in the wildcard weekend.

    I like to have a junior team to watch, a non-playoff team from the other conference that is on the upswing. If you were in the AFC, the answer would be obvious: the Vikings, who look like they will be trouble in a year or two. In the NFC, though, I'm having trouble. The Texans are a QB...

    Maybe I just see it more praying for Rodgers' life every week, but it sure seems like you could convincingly correlate OL health with the differential of actual to projected wins, with the Dallas Cowboys on one side of the spectrum and the Panthers/Saints/Falcons/49ers/etc. on the other.

    Unless there's some third act twist that punts Sarah/Kyle into the future or something, this just seems like a pointless rehash of T2. Sure, there's no Eddie Furlong, but there's also nothing novel or interesting (aside from the certain-to-fuck-up-his-epidermis helicopter dive-bombing).

    Aren't this year's schedules built with way more divisional games at the tail end than usual? Your stat isn't just a function of division quality, but also how many in-division games (that only one team can walk away with a win in) theyhaven'tplayed yet.
