Pretty sure that means you'll win.  pre-season ranking are never accurate.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

So you're saying there's a CHANCE!

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Striving for mediocrity....

....yup.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Jerrick McKinnon RB - SF

Like happens in the Final Destination movies, Death may be delayed but still wins in the end. 

Truly... astonishing. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

 Here's way we're going to do. Like a couple years ago when we let Keerock re-pick when a player he chose tore his ACL mid-draft, we're going to give Morris to Yankee if he wants him. It's really only fair. 

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I appreciate it, but I already made a move. It was in practice.  It happens. Not looking for any special treatment.

I don't care either way but this is the truth.

 

[Henry Ford]

I think this Alvin Kamara kid may be up to something.  Keep an eye on him. 

 

[Chemical X]

14.xx - Geronimo Allison

15.xx - TJ Yeldon

?  Can't see any list of who's a goner.....

 

[Henry Ford]

I just took the lead on the PPR point for Brees passing to himself.  I feel charmed.

[Henry Ford]

 

If it makes you feel better, it appears with Ingram back in the lineup I'm going to be fading into obscurity.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Big comeback win for me!

 

[Keerock]

Big comeback win for me!

You and Shepard are a ####

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Playoff situation is... set? 

TU Region - Beatdown Brigade is in. It appears that Rock Hammers and Iron City Alcoholics are in because even if those teams and Fournettecator end up with identical records, the latter is unlikely to close the points gap. 

Gandalas Region - Iowa Cowboys go into the final week with a one game lead and Unfrozen Cavemen and Flint Lead Pipe Locks look to have insurmountable points leads. 

But that's just at a glance. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I think my math checks out. 

Byes - Iowa Cowboys, Beatdown Brigade

Unfrozen Cavemen face Flint Lead Pipe Locks 

Rock Hammers face Iron City Alcoholic

What a strange season. 

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Wow. 8-5 with a 5-game win streak and don't get in.  

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Wow. 8-5 with a 5-game win streak and don't get in.  

 It's really a stupid hobby. 

 

[Keerock]

Most points scored... I just couldn't win on the road (2-4)

 

[Andy Dufresne]

@Henry Ford - Do NOT get 8 points from the Vikings defense.

We don't have rules for playoff ties. My inclination is to advance both teams and have a three team best ball. 

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Is my trophy in the mail?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Yeah, that's the ticket!!

Thanks, I'll call Mike Zimmer and make sure he's on board.

 

[Henry Ford]

Mike says he'll give me nine to make up for my stupid coaching decisions this week.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

He's a giver, all right.

 

[Keerock]

Aaaaand... we’re tied

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Aaaaand... we’re tied

 

[Keerock]

Not any more

 

[IC FBGCav]

I didn't even know I made the real playoffs.  I messed up a few weeks.  I know I gave Ford a win my not putting in a lineup for that week.  I didn't set my lineup until after Thursday this week.  I am glad that there was no way for me to win this week, so didn't mess things up.  GL all.

 

[Henry Ford]

Not any more

There should be a stat correction.  That pick 6 should count against my defense, which will tie it back up 

 

[Henry Ford]

Unless this is how ESPN works, in which case Zimmer really came through with the 9 

 

[Henry Ford]

Oof.  Just checked old game logs.  Guess there won’t be a correction.  Good game, Keerock.  Tough loss. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

You got the 9!

 

[Henry Ford]

You got the 9!

Aww, exactly what my wife said to me on our wedding night.  

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Aww, exactly what my wife said to me on our wedding night.  

Nine...seconds?

 

[Henry Ford]

Nine...seconds?

Golf club. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Oh... My... GOODNESS!!!

 

[Henry Ford]

Oh... My... GOODNESS!!!

Should be a good game next week. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Thanks for letting me back this year after last year’s abysmal showing.

 

[Corporation]

As an Alabama fan, I’ve always disliked Cam Newton. I was there for the Camback in the Iron Bowl. I can’t stand his persona and attitude in the pros. I didn’t think it was possible to dislike him more. Well, I guess there was a way. 

Good luck the rest of the way  

 

[Henry Ford]

Not looking good for me so far.  Great week for your team again, Andy.   Might be about time to start engraving that trophy.  

 

[Henry Ford]

It soothes the burn that about half your team in this league is on my team in the other league I’m in a championship in today. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Looks like they were saving the best for last. Liking my last minute pickup of Robby Anderson too.

But it's not over yet!

I have him and McGuire going in my other league and my opponent is so angry he’s posting in all caps. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Kyle Rudolph!!!

 

[Henry Ford]

Kyle Rudolph!!!

Yeah, there’s no way I’m scoring over 100 with my four remaining guys.  Congrats, man, great work. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

If Damien Williams gets more than 20...

 

[Henry Ford]

If Damien Williams gets more than 20...

If Damien Williams gets exactly 20....

 

[Henry Ford]

Either way it goes now I’m content.  I did all I could with my roster - started the correct player on my team at every position.  Now it’s in the fictional bearded angry yet paternalistic creator’s hands.
