AFP, Week 17

Final Week – Week 17 – All games are Sunday!

And while some of us are a little excited about the week, with playoff implications riding on the KC/Denver game, let’s just get this one thing straight… when KC vs. Denver is the 2nd-best game of the week, then things didn’t work out quite as well as the NFL schedule-makers had hoped.  This isn’t the final day of last year’s MLB season, for sure.

Still – TEBOW vs. ORTON!  I can’t NOT get enough of this!

Oh wait, I already have.  Let’s play the game already.  And frankly, Oakland, if you’d rather take on that first-round loss, I’m okay with that.  (Then again, maybe Pittsburgh won’t have Ben back.  And Tebow has a really big game against New England.  You’re telling me Denver can’t beat Baltimore?  NO WAY GREEN BAY CAN PLAY THAT WELL TWO SUPER BOWLS IN A ROW!!!  ARRRGGHGHGSLOBBERRSSSSS!!!)

(Another aside RE: Tebow – if you’re one of these ninnies getting worked up about what Bill Maher tweeted about Tebow, lighten up. Heck, Maher was basically just repeating a Jeff Stilson joke from almost ten years ago. (Scroll to 1:57))

On to THIS WEEK – final week of the 14afp. If you’re looking to get REALLY excited about a matchup this weekend, try Scotty vs. Craig throwdown.  STILL tied, going into the last week.  I don’t want to say who I’m rooting for (Craig), but this afternoon I’ve already had to write a “congratulations” email to Scotty for winning our chestysite-ish fantasy football league.  It was not easy (celebratory Scotty is even louder than normal Scotty).  Not easy at all (and also a couple pitches higher too).   I did not enjoy writing that email (is there a name for when you fingers vomit when you’re typing?).  That’s all I’m saying.

And oakparkmall, it’s not that we’re counting you out.  You can still do it.  You can come back.  You can… well, I’m sorry.  Yeah, it is that we’re counting you out.

WEEK 16 WINNER:  Cook takes down the week with a 13-3 mark.  I didn’t look at the tiebreaker, but I feel like I shouldn’t award myself the week – that would be a little selfish.  And we probably shouldn’t award Mustache Marshall with the win because… well, that name makes us uncomfortable.  We don’t know why.  It just does.

Everyone get their picks in this last week.  If you find yourself having trouble maintaining interest with the season almost over, try and change things up.  Have fun with it.  Choose all the road teams this week instead of the home ones.  Takes the underdogs.  Make picks while wearing underwear on your head.  No, Jack…your OWN underwear.  That would be weird.

Have a great week.  And have a safe, happy New Year’s Eve!

AFP, Week 16

Another Thursday night game this week – get your picks in!

Standings and last week’s selections are updated.  Will try to put more up later tonight.

Tebow!  (what?  Like he was NEVER going to lose?)

EDIT: Sorry for the delay.  Lighten up.  It’s the holidays.

 

Week 15 Winner:  Cole.  But the other Cole.  Matt was the only one of us to get to 12 – nicely done.  Since I’m in the Christmas spirit, I won’t spend any time thinking up mean things to say about.  (Not that it takes much time.)

Overall Standings:  Craig and Scotty are trying to shake bassproshop.  Two weeks to play and we may have a two-questionably-gendered race.  I don’t know who I’m rooting for any more.  At this point, it’s like watching this year’s KU basketball team.  It’s entertaining.  I can’t stop watching. But, well… I just know it’s not going to end well.

This week, though – IT’S going to end well.  I hope you all have a fantastically safe, fun and fattening Christmas.  I haven’t received each of your gifts yet (wait…haven’t received ONE OF YOUR GIFTS YET!), but I’ll go ahead and express my appreciation now.

Merry Christmas.  Even you, Doug.  :)

AFP, Week 15

Game on Thursday night.  Standings are updated.  Will add more later.  Until then…

EDIT: Sorry for the long delay. This week’s been crazy. As some of you know, my parents have been living with us as they wait for a house to close – they’re moving to Lawrence. Today’s the day they move out. (I now know how my Mom must have felt 23 years ago.) So between the normal nuttiness of finals week at work, and moving trucks at the parents’ new house…Gabe decided to get pink eye this morning. All this is to say, during busy weeks like this, I have to prioritize things. And the trivial little things in my life have to take a backseat to the important ones. Which begs the question…WHY AM I LATE ON THE AFP UPDATE?!!!! So move already. And rub some ointment or sand in that eye, kid. Cause we’ve got important NFL games to pick!!!!

Week 14 Winner: Cole. Just one win shy of the perfect week, Cole finally hits his stride. I’m pretty sure I know why he’s struggled this year – he doesn’t know how to pick games without a point spread. I should at least put a money line up for him, so he can see something familiar. It’s hard for the degenerate gamblers to adjust.

And in the Overall Standings – lookie here, we’ve got a brand new ball game! Scotty Ray took one on the chin and let both Craig and Bossypants catch him. A three-way tie for first. With just three weeks to go. I don’t know if Scotty can overcome this momentum shift. It’s probably in his head now. Sometimes losing a big lead makes you think you’re behind rather than tied. He’ll find himself picking Indy and KC this weekend, believing he needs to score some upsets. He’ll be down below my Mom before it’s all said and done.

Everyone have a great week!

AFP, Week 14

Home stretch!  Four more weeks!  TEBOW!!!!!

Another Thursday night game this week. Get your picks in. Have I complained enough about the Thursday night games yet? Don’t like them. Never will. Especially as college basketball season gets going. NFL is for Sundays.

Scotty Ray still has a two-game lead in the overall standings.  Usually there’s a big peloton behind our leader waiting for a big mistake-week (I wish Hodson was here to see me use that word).  But really, we’re down a just a few of you with a legitimate shot.  Isn’t five or six games too far back at this point?  If so, that really only leaves Craig and Boss Hog as threats.  Though please, someone – prove me wrong!

Week 13 winner was Perrigo, the only person to go 13-3.  Here’s Craig’s prize…

Have a great week!
