Fantasy Football 2011
I usually post a mid-season report, but I’ve had a bit going on lately. The good news is, despite the distractions, I’ve had a fairly good year of football. I’m down one league; combining the committed players from the two I commissioned into one league. This league ended up being an interesting conglomeration of ex-coworkers, ex-cohorters and friends/family of both myself and those involved. The league, combined with the long running league I’m in with dad, seem to provide a good balance of gaming and commitment. Now, the stats…
| Big $ w/Dad | ex-Everything | Family Pick’em | |
| Regular Season Record | 8-6 | 11-3 | 137 correct (155 won) |
| Rank in Points | 5th of 10 | 1st of 12 | 3rd of 7 |
| Seed | 4th of 10 | 1st of 12 | n/a |
| Playoff Result | 4th of 4 | 1st of 4 | n/a |
- I pulled my single greatest comeback in the league with my dad. My team got off to a very slow start and after six weeks I found myself at 1-5. I really have nothing to blame other than my poor draft, of which I had a bad feeling immediately after it completed. I managed to win the next 7 and climb my way into the playoffs against all odds. Unfortunately I lost the last three of the season, but I felt the season was a success considering my horrible start. Getting to the playoffs ensures you finish in the money, so I really can’t ask for anything more.
- My other league was more or less gangbusters from start to finish. I felt pretty good about my draft and after a 2-2 start, I went on an incredible 9 game win streak. I finished as the #1 seed with the most points and, despite dropping the last game of the season, won both my playoff games. The money is somewhat inconsequential; putting the Championship trophy on my desk at work will be way sweeter!
- I had another mediocre year in my family’s pick’em league. I was never really in the running and two of the people stopped playing with a few weeks to go, so I can’t say 3rd is that much of an accomplishment. On the bright side, Melissa crushed my always-wins-everything cousin by 17 points… and I bankrolled her entry. Ahh… glorious, glorious interest. I can’t wait to collect!
