*Man* did that season go by quickly! One moment you’re drafting rookies and your team is all shiny and new; the next moment you’re writing the last full newsletter of the season. Time goes so damned fast these days. Geesh. It was a bittersweet season for me. I was laden with vets, and had added … More 2022 Week Fourteen Recap
It’s exceedingly rare for me to be philosophical, but I did a little reflecting this week and came to a very important conclusion: losing sucks. Even in a year when I made the tough call to hit the reset button on my team — knowing I’d be shit for the rest of the season — … More 2022 Week Thirteen Recap
Annnnnnd, we’re back. I trust you all had a nice Thanksgiving? I wasn’t feeling the hottest, but dug deep to help host my parents and a handful of our kids. It would take something pretty effin’ awful to keep me away from the dinner table when turkey, potatoes, stuffing, corn, dinner rolls, and pie are … More 2022 Week Twelve Recap
Each year I hope I’ll make it through the newsletters without missing any, and each year it seems like I have one week when… My MS crap started flaring up a few weeks ago, so I got some IV treatments setup late last week. While they helped take away some of the issues I was … More 2022 Week Eleven (Pseudo) Recap
So, this week I need a little help from my leaguemates. I’ve been trying to figure out how this many points are possible… When a QB only throws for this many yards each week? Oh, wait. I think I found the answer when I scrolled to the right and looked at…rushing yards and TDs?! Now, … More 2022 Week Ten Recap
This week I’m going to bypass the regularly scheduled introduction to talk about the record-setting weekend enjoyed by Evil Empire. Some of you likely don’t think a former champ needs any more ego-stroking. Me? I’m fair to middling at my job, so I’ll assume the position and build up The World’s Greatest Boss any chance … More 2022 Week Nine Recap
Well, well, well…it took eight weeks, but the dawgs finally got to feast. Big-name RBs have been a bit of a disappointment this season (Najee Harris, anyone?). Until now, we haven’t seen a week with massive points from numerous backs all at once. Kamara led the charge in our league, but Henry, Chubb, and Cook … More 2022 Week Eight Recap
Getting a late start on the newsletter again this week — life seems to be moving with the Fast Forward button in full effect — and it hit me that the regular season is already halfway done. How is that possible? Seems like we just got the ball rolling! Some of us will be playing … More 2022 Week Seven Recap
Sorry for the delay in this week’s newsletter. Time kind of got away from me with how busy we’ve been at Casa Monge — conferences at the kids’ school, doctor and dentist appts, Evil Empire squeezing every last drop of work out of me that he can (and fellas, it’s an unenviable task because I’m … More 2022 Week Six Recap
I’m pretty sure the year was 2006 (Redman or Pearce can let me know if I’m wrong). I was a young lad of only 30 back then, and had never played fantasy football. That season my brother talked me into joining a new league he’d created. I had no idea what I was doing (most … More 2022 Week Five Recap
