“I’d rather lose by a
million than to lose that close” – Some dude named, Darius… #weeksix
Rave of the Week
Jonathan Brassington, Prophets & Kings, 4th
Year
Editor note: I
apologize JB as somehow a photo with just the two of us seems to escape me…I
will rectify this next time you’re in town. It’s a bit crazy to think that
the second shortest tenured GM in the league has been playing almost five years.
Our retention is incredible.
I don’t remember meeting JB either, I just remember knowing
him. (Spoiler alert: I don’t remember 60% of where I met any of you so get used
to that opener…) Yet a wedding, call of duty and four drafts later here we are
today and I’m pleased to simply remember nothing more than the fact that we’re
friends.
JB is an extremely gifted dude. During his time in this
league he’s made cinema videos, podcast, shoot, he’s probably working on a
music video…(that’s not a hint). He’s completely revolutionized how we approach
draft and always looks out for the good of others in the league. You’re Elite,
JB.
Rant of the Week
In order to be a truly great general manager of the figment
pigskin, you have to be able to leave emotion out of the game. I’ve not lived
up to this, no one has…we all make the mistake of making decisions with our
hearts instead of our heads. I can’t but help but think, what would we all do
if we could draft anyone you would like…what 7 players would you take? As we
approach mid season, I’ve decided to host a “Fan Manager” draft.
Reece’s “Fantasy”
Fantasy Football Team
QB. Cam Newton
I would love to own Cam. Love. I’ve followed his career
since Auburn. Unfortunately Cam always get taken higher than I’m willing to pay
in draft. Cam Newton has the potential to eventually be the best player in this
game, but it’s not time yet. I watch the highlights of the Panther’s game every
week.
RBS. Jamaal Charles & LeVeon Bell
What can I even say about these two that you don’t know…Charles
tore his ACL on a non-contact play. What that means is he literally juked so
hard…that he momentarily left his body. I don’t believe in ghost, but it would
explain how he consistently goes through defensive walls. Up next: have you
ever watched LeVeon Bell play a game? This guy is literally Up, up, down, down,
left, right, left, right, B, A: touchdown.
WRS. Dez Bryant & Brandon Marshall
There are no two wide receivers I love watching play more
than this combo. I should be able to claim Brandon Marshall as a dependent on
my taxes as he has been on my team 3 of the past 4 years. Dez grabs balls out
of the air as if he’s mad that gravity decided to help him out by letting them
descend.
TE. Rob Gronkowski
This ranking isn’t simply because he’s the best at his
position, it’s because he’s a BEAST. Seriously. Every week the defense knows it’s
going to him and every week he still spikes the ball in the end zone. I know we
were all created to do something extraordinary and Rob Gronkowski was born to
play football.
FLX. Odell Beckham Jr.
I know…but I can’t help it. I want to trade for him every
week. It’s the catch, it’s the aurora and it’s the sheer entertainment. If the
Elite league existed back during the playground days, I would have dealt half
my trading cards to own Odell Beckham Jr. Then convince one of you to stick
your tongue to the poll.
I didn’t pick a DST or K because...that’s like asking who my
favorite Gungan from Star Wars is…*
I’m out like the name Biff…
HBK
*I’m still not picking Jar Jar Binks; I’d rather play the
week with that slot empty…
