SuperBowlMania III: The Main Event
While Greco is setting up tee times, the fantasy football world is about to EXPLODE. Crank It Down, infused with the power of Hughesamania, will take on the Excellence of Execution, Warm Scotch, the team with no margin for error.
Warm Scotch has been riding Fast Willie Parker all year. Edgerrin James, a disappointment all year, has finally started to put up serviceable numbers. GM Scott Isaacs made a genius move acquiring T.J. Whosyamama for the frustrating Willis McGahee. Todd Heap is one of the best in a weak TE crop.
KEY QUESTIONS: Which inconsistent quarterback will step up, Matt Hasselbeck or Vince Young? Is Hines Ward healthy, and will he bring the 30 point performances we were seeing earlier this season?
STARTING LINEUP: QB: Hasselbeck/Young RB: Parker, James WR: Ward, Whosyamama TE: Heap DEF: Patriots K: Carney
Crank It Down struck gold with Tony Romo on the waiver wire. Combined with getting Greco to lower his outrageous demands for Terrell Owens gave GM Josh Hughes a killer passing attack. But the running game is where Team Crank really excels. Steven Jackson has been great all year. But you never know when you'll get hit with a GORE GORE GORE.
KEY QUESTIONS: Consistency. Romo is still young, and as proven a couple of weeks ago, can have a rough outing (which hurts Mr. Spittle). The 49ers are equally up and down. You never know if Gore is going to disappear or put up 25 points. GM Hughes cannot afford to have a repeat of two weeks ago, when his offense disappeared against the stingy Scotch defense led by Mister Coach Klein.
STARTING LINEUP: QB: Romo RB: Gore, Jackson WR: Wayne, TO TE: Shockey DEF: Ravens K: Rackers
PREDICTION: PAIN. Warm Scotch will do what it takes to win, but Crank It Down is just too strong offensively. It will be close, but I don't see anyway Josh doesn't take this one.

A Look Back at the Draft
First Round: 10 Players still on rosters
Best Pick- LaDainian Tomlinson (Erin and Eric), good thing for Derek Larry Johnson isn’t exactly Sam Bowie.
Worst Pick- Cadillac Williams (Kevin), while trading out of the 3 spot has left a hole on Bill’s roster for 2007 and Scott chose to ignore all prophecies of a dropoff in Edge’s production. Kevin picking the hapless Williams on the hapless Bucs over Steven Jackson was a difference maker for his squad making Cadillac the biggest first round bust.
Second Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Brian Westbrook (Jeff), kind of a surprise that the best pick in the Most Important Round of any draft was by a non-playoff team, and there are a lot of candidates for this slot, but as of this writing, Westbrook was #3 among Running Backs in FFL points.
Worst Pick- Domanick Davis (Derek), a complete waste was put on IR a week after his selection.
Third Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Willie Parker (Scott), more of a falling to than a foresight pick. We all should’ve seen Parker having a big year, given the situation in Pittsburgh.
Worst Pick- Randy Moss (Mike), apparently neither his Head Coach, his position coach or anyone that used to be called “Coach” could motivate Moss this season.
Fourth Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Reggie Wayne (Josh), especially if he is Peyton Manning’s Angelina Jolie and Marvin Harrison was his Jennifer Aniston.
Worst Pick- Santana Moss (Bill), had one big game, and for that he was on Bill’s bench.
Fifth Round: 9 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Joseph Addai (Derek), the rest of the league fell just short of chanting “REACH!” in unison for this Combine Champion but he has outproduced all other rookie RBs including Reggie Bush taken four rounds ahead.
Worst Pick- Daunte Culpepper (Dan), was clearly uncomfortable in Week 1, was hurt and dropped by Week 5. He is the reason Donovan McNabb will be available in next year’s late rounds.
Sixth Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- T.J. Houshmydada (Beers), traded to Scott for the unpredictable Willis McGahee, Housh was the only standout of the four receivers taken in this round.
Worst Pick- Deion Branch (Derek), taken with the belief that he would settle with the Patriots and be Tom Brady’s go-to guy giving Derek several 10 point plays, he ended up forcing a trade to Seattle and trying to build a relationship with Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace. He has somewhat in his first year but not enough to produce fantasy-wise.
Seventh Round: 8 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Frank Gore (Josh), the best pick of the draft made better by the fact he actually “gored” Jeff while making it.
Worst Pick- Nate Burleson (Dan), a victim of both Branch’s arrival and Hasselbeck’s injury. He actually had two touchdowns on Sunday to showcase his funny bathroom endzone celebrations.
Eighth Round: 7 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Deangelo Williams (Dan), in a ho-hum round Williams is at least a prospect that Dan can start to build his team around.
Worst Pick- Rod Smith (Erin and Eric), usually a “sure-thing” for 1,000 yards, he fell off the face of the Fantasy Earth this year.
Ninth Round: 8 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Laurence Maroney (Derek), no one went wrong with a rookie running back this year. Maroney actually had a couple of 25 point games for Derek and is valued prospect in the 4th and Lynches organization.
Worst Pick- Drew Bledsoe (Dan), no explanation necessary
Tenth Round: 8 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Vince Young (Scott), a lot of rookies contributed this year, but "VY" (God, I hate that) may be a fantasy star for Scott for four years.
Worst Pick- Michael Clayton (Dan), at least got a touchdown this year.
Eleventh Round: 7 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Terry Glenn (Jeff), lit up scoreboards as Drew Bledsoe's go-to guy, his numbers didn't drop all that much when Tony Romo took over.
Worst Pick- Mike Vanderjagt (Scott), at the #2 Kicker a complete reach for as botch as he was, combine that with Bill Parcells infamous lack of patience with kickers and it really shouldn't surprise anyone that he isn't on an NFL roster, much less a fantasy one.
Twelfth Round: 7 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Drew Brees (Bill), the #2 quarterback in the Twelfth Round. I'd say that's a pretty good pick.
Worst Pick- Ben Roethlisberger (Josh), given the motorcycle accident and appendectomy and Super Bowl hangover off a season in which he didn't produce fantasy-wise anyway. Hey, they can't all be Frank Gore selections.
Thirteenth Round: 6 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Ravens D (Josh), a surefire fantasy defense in the last four rounds he couldn't pass that up.
Worst Pick- Roddy White (Derek), Roddy White 2nd year player from UAB who I thought was going to be thrown to a lot by Vick in the red zone. That's who.
Fourteenth Round: 4 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Jaguars D (Erin and Eric), I must be honest none of you should be that proud of your picks in this round.
Worst Pick- Curtis Martin (Scott), he vows to come back next year so Scott, you can draft him again in August.
Fifteenth Round: 4 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Phillip Rivers (Derek), some much needed cap room for 4th and Lynches going into next season.
Worst Pick- Mewelde Moore (Kevin and Tony Kornheiser), I'm hoping Tony K was full of shit when he said during the Minnesota-New England game that Moore was on his fantasy team.
Sixteenth Round: 6 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Greg Jennings (Josh) traded to Erin and Eric and maybe a keeper if they hope to keep LT, Ocho Cinco, and Carson Palmer.
Worst Pick- Koren Robinson (Scott) because he got arrested for DWI the week before the draft and was destined for a year suspension for twice violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Best Pick- LaDainian Tomlinson (Erin and Eric), good thing for Derek Larry Johnson isn’t exactly Sam Bowie.
Worst Pick- Cadillac Williams (Kevin), while trading out of the 3 spot has left a hole on Bill’s roster for 2007 and Scott chose to ignore all prophecies of a dropoff in Edge’s production.

9th Players due Thursday 8pm
Josh, Brian, Scott, Erin & Eric.
9th Players are due by Thursday's Steelers-Browns game. Whether you have players on your roster in that game or not. No Exceptions! No Leniency! No Nothing!
Teams that don't enter a 9th player will not have that player's points count towards their total in the event of a tie.
Ties in the playoffs are broken by the total of a team's two tiebreaker players. Make sure you're protected in the event of a tie. Get your lineups and 9th players in!

That's What He Said
I have scrapped the idea of doing a Draft Lottery in 2007 but I wanted you to read some interesting words from Dan Greco in August...
Well, my point about the coup was that this should have been discussed up front rather than on the back end.
However, I am with you that it should probably be $12 or equal value of a 5th round selection.
I am also really like the idea of a lottery for the non-playoff teams.
This way someone cant tank there season just to pick #1 the next year.

Faces Of Coaching Greatness
Congratulations to Warm Scotch, for overcoming injury and underachievement to win six in a row and make the playoffs! Hey Derek and Dan, enjoy the draft lottery! Now let's win this thing!
Playoff Matchups Set
After the Week 13 games, Erin/Eric, Scott and Derek all tied with 8-5 records after Scott's Fraud Team's upset of Crank it Down, because Jake Delhomme forgot Steve Smith played on his team.
The tiebreaker between three teams is the record of each team against the other two. Erin/Eric beat Derek but lost to Scott's Fraud Team (1-1), Derek split with Scott but as previously mentioned lost to Erin/Eric (1-2), Scott's Fraud Team split with Derek but beat Erin/Eric (2-1). Through this method Scott's Fraud Team and Erin/Eric make the playoffs and Derek is shut out. ESPN broke the tie by points, I had to adjust it, so that's why the seeds seem funny.
Therefore your playoff matchups are.
1. Crank it Down (Southern Comfort Champion) vs. 4. Jamesburg PaternityTester (wildcard)
2. Bringing Sexy Back (Northern Lights Champion) vs. 3. Scott's Fraud Team (wildcard)
For the rest of you, next year's draft order is:
1. Dan
2. Jeff
3. Bill
4. Mike
5. Kevin
6. Derek
7. Semifinal Loser with worst record
8. Semifinal Loser with best record
9. Runner-Up
10. Champion
Thank you all for a fun season. Enjoy the Playoffs!

One Player, One Playoff Spot
Josh, Beers, Erin/Eric are in. If Steve Smith doesn't come up with 20 points, Scott's Fraud Team is in too.

Scott's Fraud Team
Apparently Warm Scotch fans, players and coaches are riled up at 4th and Lynches Owner/General Manager Derek Lynch's remarks that Warm Scotch was a "fraud team" as both teams are in playoff contention with Warm Scotch "controlling its own destiny (if it could be controlled, it wouldn't be destiny)". Here are the facts:
Warm Scotch has had 859 points scored against them or 78 points per game, by far the lowest in the league. The next lowest total is Jamesburg PaternityTester with 917 or 83 points per game.
Of the eight teams Scott has played so far (he plays Josh for the first time this weekend and is hoping for another anemic performance by an opponent) five have had either their worst or second worst performance of the season against Warm Scotch.
Except for a 110 point performance in Week 6, he hasn't broken 90 points yet this season. Except for a 111 point performance by Beers in Week 4, no other team has scored 90 on him.
If Warm Scotch makes the playoffs and 4th and Lynches doesn't. Derek Lynch has a right to be pissed.
