Saturday Evening Rollovers

As we get ready to start a new week (and almost new year), I’ve got some resolutions to finish... 

Straight Out Clowning...

Gentlemen. Start your engines. The 2015 season of the Elite League begins. If you're not up to date with the most recent trends of the internet, I'm not going to waste the time to catch you up. All you need to know is there is no other way to start a new season than by shots fired. As much I would have liked to feature all of you, I only had a six carrier so I had to use my best ammo. Welcome to year 10. 

Here's how it works: "Straight Outta" either means what you "represent" or what you don't have :) 

Gotham Knights would still draft Daunte Culpepper if the NFL.com didn't say, "NO."

The Bane is actually from a place called "Farmington"...this is a probably a compliment. 

This one made me laugh out loud. 

Get the blade count on your razor up, Sith!

Bonus: 

I don't care if 10 more years go by...I just can't resist myself when it comes to The Educators. 

Dude could only take so many losses...
P.s. Niners are "straight outta players"

Tuesday Morning Specials

Sorry Jay, like RSVPs & childhood names that end in "y"...somethings are just tradition. 

Surprise…once writer’s block has been lifted, there’s always an abundance to share. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second quarter of the season (weeks 4-8) usually mark the slowest part of a fantasy season. The excitement of the New Year has worn off (there were 17 posts for September, for October - 7), we’re still too far away to take playoff pictures and the page is usually used solely for football purposes.

It’s not until after week 8, that a playoff picture develops and wins-losses begin to really matter, match-up schedules are closely observed and competition is reborn. With the importance of games rising, (as was my previous custom) let’s look a few that should be watched closely this week:

Dunwall Assassins vs. Bane

Last year Steve lost his first few, but once he got his first win, he was on a roll "Breaking .500" (I know because I played him the following week and lost). Owen has started hot this year, but a potential loss this weekend could create a wide, wide West.

Sesame Street Gang vs. Gotham Knights

This is quietly the biggest rival in the Elite at the moment and this year both teams have been great. Let’s be honest, there’s nothing better than crushing a team you already hopes sucks every year and especially if it’s for first place in the “Beast.”

Orange Crush vs. Heartbreak Kid

“Battle of the Founders” Ryan texted me this earlier this week and I thought it was great. It’s “Cain & Abel,” “#FF Wright Brothers,” either way, someone’s going down (sorry Abel and all plane crashes).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All things considered, this has been a calm, cool and collected season in comparison to “other years.” Honestly, I've been fine with it…who needs drama in make believe game of football?

Nevertheless it’s the straw that stirs the drink that keeps everything from completely settling at the bottom. That straw was always Dan (dude was genius at being a straight up troll). Yet in 2014, who has served as the evil vs. the good? Or has the Elite league reached a state of Utopia? 

The antagonist title at first was Justin’s claim, but he really hasn't done much to defend that in recent years. Hery is another who hasn't declared himself an anti-hero, but he's definitely a nemesis on the message boards. Personally, I hate losing to any of you: I've lost 8 games in the past 3 years and I could tell you to who and why I loss in each one. Which made me think: is it possible everyone hates me? I’m taking this to the polls: who’s the villain in the Elite league?

I’m out like the Knicks’ chances of beating the Cavs in tonight’s opener…

“We lost, but I made it on the big screen so all in all…I’m going to count that as a win…” #weekone

The Elite 2013

Gone Fishing 2012

We're less than forty eight hours away from the start of the 2013 season, but before we get started I'd like to recap some off season activities that were captured over the past summer. 

...For Dan and Steve...

Gone Fishing and New Traditions!

So this is what the off season is like... 

After five years, we’ve all come to know each other…we’ve played, trash talked, even had our first live draft. This will be that group of guys fifteen years from now you’ll still be playing with simply because it’s always been that way. With that said, after five years I feel that we need our own traditions, sayings, and inside jokes that pertain only to this league. I, the Commish, hereby make a motion that these names be kept...forever
