We Are The Champions!

My Yahoo! Fantasy Football team, the Rhode Island Rabbits, have won my league’s Super Bowl! We are the champions of the world (or at least the dinky online league I’m in)! Final scoring went like this:

As you can see, I absolutely housed 5YardsOut 102.38 to 86.98. While not the highest scoring game of the week, it was more than enough to seal my victory late Sunday night with all hope for my opponent gone by early Tuesday morning as the final regular season game of the NFL year wound down in OT.

I took the league by over 100 points overall:

I put together a stellar eight wins in a row over the last eight weeks. All in all, I’m very happy with the results. My team had arguably a great season. This season will certainly be built on and incorporated into next year’s effort.

In the meantime, I’ll be sitting and waiting for MLB Baseball to begin so I can resurrect my Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball team (also the RI Rabbits) and try to better last year’s fourth place finish.

For now though, I’m going to bask in the glory of victory and brag all I can about my football expertise. Having said that, I still have no idea who half the people are on my team. All I know is they made me win and that’s all that matter I guess in the end. :mrgreen:

RI Rabbits Head Into Semi-Finals

I’m happy to announce my Yahoo! Fantasy Football team, the Rhode Island Rabbits, have made it into the semi-finals play off match. Final regular season standings ended my team with an excellent ten wins and four losses, as well as, the most total points in the league. I easily clinched last week play off status and this past Monday grabbed number one seed spot in the final regular season game. Overall standings look like this as of today:

Rank Team W-L-T Pct Pts Streak Waiver Moves
*1. Rhode Island Rabbits 10-4-0 .714 1430.08 W-7 8 8
*2. Brooklyn Dodgers 8-6-0 .571 1340.52 W-1 1 4
*3. 5yardsout 8-6-0 .571 1304.42 L-1 4 10
*4. really da really 8-6-0 .571 1282.38 W-1 2 11
5. League Champs 8-6-0 .571 1137.16 L-1 5 19
6. doobie brothers 7-7-0 .500 1301.28 W-1 10 15

10. DOmers 4-10-0 .286 985.18 L-3 6 13

Play offs start this Thursday and are lined up as so:

Week 15
(Dec 15 – Dec 21)
Week 16
(Dec 22 – Dec 28)
Final

Since I grabbed first place with a clinch (in other words nobody could bump me) I got to play the number four team instead of the normal number three. Hypothetically that allows me to play the weakest team in the play offs and thus give me an edge.

If you look at the prediction of stats though you’ll see my opponent “Really da Really” has quite a team and they are far from easy to beat (though I have done it in the past three weeks). Right now we match up with me having a slight edge (103.14-102.69) but those number are constantly in flux (it was actually flipped 102 to 103 with Really Da Really in the lead earlier this morning). I clobbered them 128.92-73.18 in our last meeting. They did manage to beat me early in the season in a heart break win 73.66-70.18. Either way, this is no cake walk game and all the beans are on the line.

I’ll let you know whether or not next week if I make it into my league’s Super Bowl final or not. Wish me luck!
