Summerpalooza V -- Playoffs Over -- Eephus Is Now Two-Time Summerpalooza Champion (3 Viewers)

[plinko]

Who's playing whom in the playoffs?

Me vs. Northern Voice
Pip vs. dkp I think
@Eephus , resting well I hope, and SICKO MODE have a bye

 

[plinko]

This weekend has been the world's slowest moving magic football beatdown. End it, already!

 

[plinko]

I've finally bled out. All hail the victors

Thought about contesting the result but the my pillow guy isn't taking my calls

I shall treasure my silver status, at least until the uber hoops results are final! @Northern Voice

I won this weekend and hated the wait. I was losing for so long and it was ruining my weekend. I eventually won (for now, we have stat corrections), but this was the slowest almost beat-down ever.

 

[Eephus]

The timing of Jalen Hurts' shoulder injury is sub-optimal

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Pip vs. dkp I think

And I didn't put up much of a fight.

But my money redraft team that started 1-6 and then got to 7-7 to make the playoffs won its first-round game, against the team that had beaten me by 0.14 in the regular season.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I think I’m in the Toilet Bowl - but should come out with a win. Not sure how good that is?

How my pathetic team is moving on I have no clue. Shows how much luck plays into it sometimes.

Never before have I been embarrassed to be in round 2 of the playoffs, can check that bucket list item off the list now.

Wait, were we still setting lineups even if we didn't make the playoffs?

Errrr, maybe my partner did it.

Semi-Ok

 

[rockaction]

Looks like we have @Ilov80s vs. @dkp993 and @Eephus vs. @Northern Voice in the semi-finals.

Some very good fantasy players in these two games. Two former champs, a stalwart of the league, and a newbie whom we dig (we appreciate ya, dkp). Good luck to all the participants. Anybody want any entrance or theme music?

Pick away, guys.

Thanks Rock. As the prohibitive underdog I need to front as much confidence as possible (while secretly knowing I have no shot) , so my entrance music will be….

Thanks for playing along and the pick, dkp. Best of luck to everyone! And, oh, your team isn't bad. It's in the semis for a reason.

Now my team? That was a bad team.

Almost every move worked out for me this year. Just a blessed season- wish my team was performing this good in leagues with money on the line!


Jamaal Williams was one of the steals of the draft, ETN was a risky (dumb?) selection in round 2 but he has mostly delivered. Nothing flashy but 2 solid low end RB1s.

At WR, there have been some ups and downs but the WR core of Chase, Waddle, Pittman. Watson is really quite good for a 12 team league yet alone 16. They have carried me.

TE, it's nice to have Goeddert back but that Juwan Johnson guy from the Saints has been a surprisingly good replacement.

Philly D has been super consistent all year,they have had maybe 1 dud game all year.

I think Lawrence is QB8 right now in PPG.

 

[Eephus]

I'm rolling into the playoffs with a Colts RB just like I planned before the draft. I didn't expect it to be Zack Moss though.

Sucks you lost Hurts but being able to pivot to Tua is pretty fortunate.

This was really your strength. Having the depth to overcome Chase's four-week absence was huge for you, too. You just had/have a good team.

 

[rockaction]

I was thinking the same thing when I looked at the name of his team, went "Oh ****," and then looked at his lineup. Good stuff to not have dealt Tua back when sell high was on the mind.

Good job, Eephus.

I rostered Justin Fields for a couple of weeks as well.

 

[Ilov80s]

That is pretty crazy for a 16 team league.

Especially when you look at the NFL QBs starting this week in real life.

@Ilov80s looks like the GOAT can’t figure out the vaunted Arizona D and is going to gift you the win.

Not so fast, you are still a favorite to win.

A little late game Brady magic helped a bit.

You can’t know what you’re going to get from Brady until toward the end of the game. The TB offense is exponentially better in hurry up mode than in regular mode.

This team has now gone from 1-6 to playing in the title game. Since Week 8 it’s been bad juju for the others in that league to play against me. My team has improved over that time but opponents have mostly performed poorly. My opponent this week, the #1 seed, had a dud from Adams.

1-877-Kars-4-Kids now in day-glo pink.

Oh my.

 

[rockaction]

Still kind up of in the air given how bad Foles has been. If ilov8s can get a pick and a score here. . .

Doubtful, but who knows?

Heh. I know ilov has spent all night thinking about it. Right-o.

 

[rockaction]

Whoops. Fourth and nine came up short, now they kneel it out.

Congrats to Eephus and dkp993.

Good luck, fellas.

 

[Ilov80s]

Sadly, I needed Pittman in 2 leagues and he didn't come through. I was in 3 redraft leagues this year, my combined record was 28-14. I went 0-3 in the playoffs, no money.

 

[simey]

Good Luck Eephus and dkp!

I just noticed that and texted him already. Haven't heard back from him yet. I know he is visiting his mom back in N. Carolina this week and I'm sure they are watching!

Nothing more exciting than the third place game in the Toilet Bowl Bracket. I’m taking it very seriously.

[rockaction]

The Hurts saga makes a difference in this league, I see. Will he play or won't he?

I'm thinking he will not play. That's such a short turnaround for a sternoclavicular joint to heal, according to most of the doctors that I've read. Seems really suspect.

Fire up your Mayfields and Minshews, then!

 

[krista4]

Good luck dkp and Ee!!

 

[Northern Voice]

Good luck guys!

I didn't stand a chance against @Eephus last week.

I think next year maybe we make week 16 the Championship?

 

[dkp993]

I didn't stand a chance against @Eephus last week.

I don’t either. With 3 strong RB’s and Tom Brady at QB my team looks like it was built to play in a 2003 nonPPR league. Don’t let anyone tell you luck isn’t involved in FF. Lol. But as the saying goes, “I‘d rather be lucky then good”

I started Minshew last week in my $ league, and he did well, but I still lost. I had more confidence starting him than when I'd start Lamar Jackson during the season.

I'm hoping for some clarity before the early games kick off on Sunday.
