RAB Fantasy Football League Final Update
By
The first annual RAB Fantasy Football League came to a close last week, and I’d have to say it was a smashing success. Managing a squad in a twenty team league took some foresight and plain old luck, but it was a blast. We’ll definitely being doing this again next year.
Resident RABer tommiesmithjohncarlos took the league title despite getting a combined 0.00 points out of his kicker and Titans’ stud Chris Johnson in the championship game. He defeated me, JSBrendog (rocks) and Punk in Drublic (run by longtime reader Aaron) on his way to the title. I settled for a seventh place finish, which I’m happy with since this is my first experience with fantasy football in about five seasons.
In the last update I bragged about my seven-week winning streak heading into a final week battle with JSbrendog to determine second place, but that probably wasn’t such a good idea. I lost by 36+ points and had to settle for the sixth seed in the postseason. TSJC then sent my team packing with a 26.86 point defeat in round one of the playoffs. Brandon Jacobs’ poorly timed knee injury is what did me in, as I was forced to start Leonard freaking Weaver in my lone postseason game.
So for triumph, TSJC’s prize was a fancy new … nothing. All he got is bragging rights, and something tells me he’ll use them to fullest extent possible. Final standing after the jump, see you next year.

Tommie’s Titans = 2006 St. Louis Cardinals.
Sunny Daytona = Rainy, overrated, boring, craptastic Daytona.
THAT IS HOW YOU DEBATE!!!!!
It’s not rainy here.
Huh? What happened… I blacked out.
It’s the Fuckin Catalina Wine Mixer!
This is where I make my nut.
PAAA!!!!
You guys are making it too easy for him.
Fantasy football angers me every fricken year. I have the best record overall, a team loaded with stars, and one bad fucking week knocks me out. Then, every year I say- I am NEVER playing fantasy football again. And then I do. Ah well, I won my money league, so the thousand bucks made up for this disappointing finish!!!
Some truly great, original team names in there.
The originality is startling.
we started off with original names and then decided it would be better to go by what we post as to know who each other is.
Yeah, we started off with original names (mine was “Body by Mangini”) but then someone suggest we use our RAB handles so we knew who we were playing.
I refused to conform, but only because I never comment (even though I read religiously) – So Punk in Drublic never changed.
Thanks to all, and I want my rematch next year!
I still think my “Alex Cora Wins Games” name was quite clever.
I liked it.
Wish I would have had a chance to beat it, but unfortunately, Jamal, only GOOD teams make the playoffs.
“Some truly great, original team names in there. The originality is startling.”
That comment was said by… “Bo”.
Yeah, but his real name is “Jeremy,” so he’s got you there.
OOOOOOOOH, SWEET IRONY!!!!!!!
Sweet Jeebus we need a new post.

i can’t wait for next yr when i’ll actually be able to attend the live draft and pick a suitable team for the top 3
If this league continues next year, I’m officially auctioning off my team to the highest bidder.
I think whoever suffered a loss to you needs to be more embarrassed than you are.
OWNER OWNED!
BURN
I hate all of you. Only with you bunch of whores can a team that finished sixth in total points, finish outside of the top ten in standings.
Why don’t you go back to your home, on Whore Island?
Take me to Pleasure Town.
I think when all this is over, you and me should get an apartment together.
Awesome.
…
Oh, wait, that wasn’t in the movie…
Awesome.

“TSJC then sent my team packing with a 26.86 point defeat in round one of the playoffs. Brandon Jacobs’ poorly timed knee injury is what did me in, in addition to TSJC’s far larger brain and penis that I simply am no match for in any way, shape, or form, leaving me unable to assemble a fantasy football team or pleasure a woman as effectively as he does, and thus I was forced to start Leonard freaking Weaver in my lone postseason game.”

Any chance of liveblogging the Tex PC for those of us stuck working?
Beat me to it UWS, damn you
I’m hoping that Tex is a new avid reader or RAB and he name-drops my Fantasy Football Championship during his presser.
I’d like to give a hearty F YOU to my first five picks, TO, Housh, Winslow, Fred Taylor, and Felix Jones. Thanks for ruining my season.
