NBD 2010 - Keeper Possibilities

I was sitting around today watching the World Cup or the U.S. Open or some other such summer sport nonsense when an ad for the Hall of Fame Game (August 8th) unexpectedly popped up. I nearly crapped myself. Amidst all the hooplah over the draft and then Albert Haynesworth's ridiculous trade demands, I'd forgotten that at some point in the not-too-distant future, football players will actually take the field and play actual football games. And with those games will come fantasy. With this realization upon me, I knew I had to do something, but that Hall of Fame Game is still 48 days away, with the regular season even more removed. There wasn't that much I could do, really, except...
publish the list of possible NBD Keepers for this season, despues de saltar.

BIFL - 2010 Keeper Possibilities

I'm attempting to pull a Reset tonight, which is where my sleep schedule has gotten so fucked up that I stay up all night in an attempt to "reset" my biological clock (shout-out to Marisa Tomei). Since I have nothing better to do, I figured I'd do the post I normally do several months later: a list of possible keepers for 2010. I'll included no commentary, rankings, or suggestions. This is just raw data. Do with it what you wish.

BIFL - Playoffs Rounds 2 & 3 Review

Yuh-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
I think I did it again. It's all over, folks, and your champions - for the third time in four years - are the Ass-Ramming HotCocks.  And while the first two championship teams had quite a bit of carry-over, the only player in common between the 2007 Champs and this year's was London Fletcher. What up, LFB! I believe that's what you call a dynasty, and it's also a big middle finger to anyone who doubted my #1 Power Ranking. Who's laughing now?

...actually, it's Shoaf and Bardey, who are splitting my winnings due to the fact that I owe them both a bunch of money. Oh well, I'll always have my imaginary trophy and the history page of the BIFL site. And this blog entry, which chronicles the final two rounds of the playoffs... after the jump.

NBD - Playoffs Rounds 2 & 3 Review

It was a wild and woolly ride, but we've reached the end. The 2009 NBD Season has come to a close, and your new Champion is... the Wild Stallions! Congratulations to DeYoung, who squeaked out a championship win in probably the closest NBDBowl that any of us will ever see. DeYoung will take home $650 for his defeat of Colly's Who Gonna Check Me Boo? in the Finals. Colly himself takes home a decent chunk of change as well, earning $300 for the 2nd-place prize as well as $150 for winning the regular season. Finally, Elliott's F You Tom Brady will have their entry fee refunded for nabbing 3rd place. Congrats to all the money-winners and to everyone for another fun season. For details on how these guys managed to grab their cash (and bobblehead/t-shirt), read on...

BIFL - P & P Wrap-Up

So I've decided not to do any Previews & Predictions for the playoffs (other than my Playoff Power Rankings), meaning that the record books on my picking accuracy have closed for the year. I finished up Weeks 12 and 13 with a solid 9-3 run, bringing my season total to 46-26. That's a .639 record, which I'd wager is better than ESPN's predictions. But unsatisfied with merely being right on nearly two-thirds of my picks, I decided to delve deeper and see if there were any particular trends to my picking or teams that I was more or less right or wrong about. The results:

So I've decided not to do any Previews & Predictions for the playoffs (other than my Playoff Power Rankings), meaning that the record books on my picking accuracy have closed for the year. I finished up Weeks 12 and 13 with a solid 9-3 run, bringing my season total to 48-24. That means I picked the winner in exactly two-thirds of the NBD match-ups this year, which is a record I'd put up against any so-called "professional" fantasy writer. (That's right, Brandon Funston. I'm talking to you.) But unsatisfied with merely being right on 67% of my picks, I decided to delve deeper and see if there were any particular trends to my picking or teams that I was more or less right or wrong about.
