The Terrible Ten

And suddenly, Round Two is over and I’m scrambling to write a newsletter on Christmas Eve morning before the festivities begin. Feels like the perfect week to skip my duty to the league, but there’s a lot to go over and I’ve made it through the whole year for once, so it’s time to set … More 2024 Round Two Recap

For those who don’t know me outside of being commish to the best damned fantasy football league going, I’ve been a computer programmer at the same healthcare organization for over 25 years. These days I work in finance, helping provide data and reports to decision-makers while trying to make sure I get the math right … More 2024 Round One Recap

And just like that… Making it through fourteen weeks of fantasy football has felt a little like Frodo carrying the ring to Mordor. With injuries and poor play and benchings around every corner, it’s been a long road to get to this point. But, as always, the cream has a way of rising to the … More 2024 Week Fourteen Recap

Hell, Thanksgiving is so late this year … More 2024 Week Twelve Recap

I remember the daily drills on things like spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It’s likely where I learned about the many uses … More 2024 Week Eleven Recap

During the course of the six seasons we’ve played in The Terrible Ten, it’s not very often the week has been completely decided by the close of SNF. Now, I know what you’re thinking: there’s a possibility Tua gets 43 (nah) or Waddle gets 28 (possible, albeit unlikely) on MNF, but fuck it, I’m gonna … More 2024 Week Ten Recap

Well, damn. Week Nine of the NFL season will be remembered for a long time to come, highlighted by plays that became instant classics. From Garrett Wilson’s one-handed TD grab:… …to Saquon’s backwards hurdle… …it was a weekend to gather highlights for the Espy Awards. Then again, it wasn’t all good. Derek Carr threw a … More 2024 Week Nine Recap
