There is a shock.I won't even try asking for proof of such buffoonery either...anytime I have, its been nothing but crickets.

Sweetness believes that about himself, too. Think about that for a while.

And for whatever sweetness does in regards to being more of a 'blind homer' than sho, sho makes up for it by never walking away from being fished. The amount of hooks in that guys mouth is off the charts. I'm anxiously waiting for him to choke on one so he puts himself out of his unrealized misery.

I doubt sweetness believes much of anything given his posts here and at FFT.And unlike him...I don't run from my posts. I stand up, admit when I have been wrong...and as I said, can actually find faults with my team.
He seems completely incapable of any of that.
As for Limp Ditka...grow the heck up man.
Seriously...if I bother you that much...don't read it.

How about taking some of your own advice?You can be the better man and just walk away or you can keep proving my point. I don't care which one it is, because IMO, I win either way.

When you enter this thread it's to mock Sweetness_34, not each other. Can you guys start your own thread to continue your slap fight? Please stay on task.

Here is my personal favorite part of this thread:
After the draft
Da Bearssss (5-5)
mama's 49er faithful (4-6)
After the draft
Before the Week 5 matchup
And I am guaranteed to go 4-1 this week because I play that awful team that drafted the Niners D and all Niners players .... her team is as follows for my match up (and I was told earlier in this thread....bored to go find it now....that I had no chance against that team either)....and this team is 1-3 .... while so many shark told me she had a better team than me ....
Stafford - Bye
Vincent Jackson - Bye
Greg Jennings - Out?
Frank Gore - Buf
Joique Bell - Bye
vernon Davis - Bye
Burleson - Bye
Mike Tolbert - Sea
Laurent Robinson - Out vs Chi
McCluster - Balt
Manningham - Buf
Luck - GB
Gresham - Mia
Akers - Buf
Nugent - Mia
San Fran D - Buf
Houston D - NYJ
Results of the week 5 matchup: Week 5 Loss (3 - 2)Results through week 10:How come the chick who has a better roster than me is 1-3, I am 3-1 and she is soon to be 1-4 as I go 4-1 after I beat her with half my starting team....I guess it is because you suck at FF

Is there any way to see the league standings? I have to admit to some kind of perverse guilty pleasure reading this thread every week.

One of my favorite threads I've seen on FBG pretty much ever. So many classic mistakes.....
1) Bragging about getting caught in the middle of a QB run in the first round: Check
2) Grossly over-exaggerates how good his team is when he drafted exactly one starting RB that I would have played at the beginning of the year: Check
3) Drafts a kicker in a round that is not the final round: Check
4) Drafts 2(!) defenses he could have likely gotten from waivers: Check
5) Leaves thread midseason when he finds out his team is actually not as good as he thought: Check
Anyone who has played Fantasy Football for any significant amount of time whatsoever knows not to brag about a team they drafted before the year begins. Hyped players flop. Players that others leave for dead turn out to be not nearly as bad as people predict. QBs regress, WRs see an increase in targets, etc etc etc.
I don't even start bragging about my team until after bye weeks are done, and even then only to my league mates and only if I'm dominating. So many things can destroy your team that you thought was so good at the time while other people who you think are "guppies" outperform you with what you initially project as a bad team. I honestly hope you learned your lesson with this post, though I wouldnt mind seeing another like this next year when you draft in the same league and fall on your face

Special thanks to all those who made this possible.

Such weak sauce for Sweetness not to come back and own this.

while I get the reaction to someone posting that they cleaned up at a guppy draft, I still think you could do a lot worse that this heading down the stretch:
QB: Brees
RB: Forte, Morris
WR: Jordy Nelson, Demaryus Thomas, Amendola
TE: Antonio Gates
that is a championship contender in a 12 team league. now that BYEs are done for this team, I would not be shocked ot see them run the table.

Nothing new with him from his history on FFT making crazy posts (his epic topic bashing Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy he ran away from even before the Super Bowl win I think).Such weak sauce for Sweetness not to come back and own this.

His history in Bears threads runs years back and is even worse than this.Nothing new with him from his history on FFT making crazy posts (his epic topic bashing Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy he ran away from even before the Super Bowl win I think).Such weak sauce for Sweetness not to come back and own this.

He was giving his reasoning for sucking right there.Everyone else was such a guppy and sucked so bad...it threw him off and he did not know what to do.

Funny stuff here. Can't believe I haven't opened this thread till now. People are really piling on the poor guy here so I kind of feel sorry for him but he set himself up. Coming off as a braggart, people enjoy seeing you fail.
I will add my own "guppy" story: I once invited my mother to join a league which I was commish of several years back. It was a free league and just for fun and she certainly isn't a magic football guru by any stretch but agreed just for the entertainment value. I provided her a cheatsheet to use at the draft (from FBG actually). She did not make a single waiver move all year. My mother won the Superbowl! Then she promptly retired from fantasy football a champion, LOL. Moral of the story: Don't crown yourself among guppies before they play the games.

Don't feel sorry for him. He's an #######.

I was a complete guppy last year and almost won a sixteen-teamer. I still consider myself a guppy, albeit much more versed in magic football now.

I've reached the maximum number of quotes so I'm having to drop the early weeks to include each new week.
Week 2 Win (2-0) ???
Week 2 Win (2-0) ???
Week 3 Loss (2-1) 6th
Week 4 Win (3-1) 4th
Week 5 Loss to the chick he mocked (3 - 2) 6th
Week 6 Win (4-2) 4th
Week 7 Win (5-2) 4th
Week 8 Loss (5-3) 4th
Week 9 Loss (5-4) 6th
Week 10 Loss (5-5) 6th
Week 11 Win (6-5) 5th
33% of his wins have come when he's had the lowest winning score in the league.
