Foot and Ball Guys: Semifinal Results

spookymilk December 22, 2009, at 2:16 pm 6 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)

My game was close, and made closer by some overnight phantom points by yickit.  Zack put the hurt on Uncle Walt in the other semifinal, using the WRs that Walt himself traded to him to win.

Home of the Whopper (milk) 125 (Romo, Ricky, CJ) def. Bernake's Berserkers (yickit) 121 (DeSean, Warner, Ochocinco)
Underground Kingz (Zack) 149 (Peyton, Austin, Barber) def. Norris All Stars (Walt) 122 (Rodgers, AP, Fred Davis)

I made the finals in my money league, too, as Big Ben basically tore apart my opponent by himself.  Fun stuff.

So, next week, for all the beer, we have the porn star vs. the Lego maniac:

Foot and Ball Guys: Semifinals

spookymilk December 20, 2009, at 9:22 am 4 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)

I made the semis in all three leagues, and I have this awful feeling I'm losing in all of them today and tomorrow.

Let's see.  Will this post correctly?

It just now occurs to me that I never did the results post last week.  Too bad, because I think I had the high score of the year (171).  Anyway, the final standings were:

So, me vs. yickit and Walt vs. Zack in the semis for cheaptoy's beer.  Walt's already in a pretty bad place despite the fact that none of his players have played yet, since Zack has Peyton, Marion Barber, and Miles Austin (who I think he got in a trade with Walt?).

Charity Recommendations.

AMR December 16, 2009, at 4:35 pm 10 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)

I currently have in my possession a bit more than $1,000 that needs to be donated to charity. The only restriction is that it has to be to a 501(c)(3) organization. I am not familiar with charities, and have a pitiful history of charitable giving, so I am basically starting from scratch. I was hoping that the citizenry could advise me on charities that are worthy and close to their hearts.

I am currently thinking about Admission Possible and Second Harvest. Please add your suggestions in the letters. Thank you.

Foot and Ball Guys: Week 14

spookymilk December 12, 2009, at 8:39 pm 14 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)

Tomorrow's games don't mean a ton to Walt and me, but there are no fewer than eight teams fighting for the final playoff spots.  Well, really, only four teams have a realistic shot: Kings, Six-Packs, Berserkers and Circuses.  Two weeks of playoffs after this.

Soooo how did everyone fare in their money league and others?  I'm in three leagues this year and made the playoffs in all three, so now I'm just wondering how I'll keep my forever-long streak of no league championships intact.  I'm thinking the death of Chris Johnson, who's on my team in all three leagues, will spell my doom.

Cheaptoy, I was thinking it might be cool if you wanted to post a photo of the beer, too.  Whet some appetites and all that.  If you don't feel like it, I'll just back the hell off.

With just one week left, Walt and I have made the playoffs, and only cheaptoy and nibbish are ruled out.  The Ball Division, as it's been all year, is a mess of possibilities.  Walt and I are guaranteed to finish in the 1st and 3rd seeds in some order, so who's going to step up and lose to us in the semifinals?  Aw, snap!

The penultimate week of FBG action is here, so get excited.  Walt's in, I'm on the brink, and the other two spots could be nailed down this week depending on how things fall.  Have y'all tasted cheaptoy's beer?  I have, and dude, I really wanna taste it again.

Foot and Ball Guys: Week 12 Results

spookymilk December 1, 2009, at 2:46 pm 6 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)

Twelve weeks in and two weeks left, and we finally have our first guaranteed playoff participant (UncleWalt).  My magic number appears to be one.  Over in the Ball Division, nobody's eliminated.  Cheaptoy became the first guy to be eliminated from playoff contention, but since he's brewing beer for the winner, I assume he did this on purpose as a service to the league.

In the week's kookiest news, nibbish got 25 points from a D-Back, but still got slaughtered.  That seems wrong.

Everyone who won last week lost this week, and vice versa.  Treading water, I guess.

The Ball Division is still anyone's to win, although SoCal is nearly out...strange how he was at the 3-0 mark, prior to going 1-7 since.

Tomorrow my in-laws arrive from all over the country and the house is a mess.  Plus, I'm writing on a deadline with 80 pages to go in about six days.  Still, I assume I'll blow my Sunday by watching my fantasy football scores change.

I have Ricky Williams, who's already given me a nice little grip of points.  Is "grip" still a thing?

Oops.  Better late than never.

The rich got richer in the Stick Division, as Walt and I created more separation from the pack, and in the Ball Division, everything's still far too close to call with four games left.  Hungry Joe, who started out 1-5, has now won four straight and would be in the playoffs if the season ended today.
