2009 Playoff Fantasy Football League
News and Notes heading into Conference Championship Sunday (Pretenders/Contenders)
First the Contenders
GORDON TECH RAMS: This rookie owner had the hindsight to pick Akers, Rivers, and Fitzgerald, to go along with S
Holmes. They can be caught however. See the Stimulus Package summary. (Mason, Fitzgerald, SHolmes, Akers)
STIMULUS PACKAGE: A four-year owner looking for their first PFFL Championship. Gotta do a better job picking
winners. They and the GT Rams both have Fitzgerald, Mason, and Akers. But the big difference here is Willie Parker. If
Pittsburgh goes on to the SuperBowl, and Parker has another big game, they can surpass the GT Rams. (Mason,
Fitzgerald, Akers, Parker)
KRIMSON KRUSHERS: I have been very impressed with this rookie owner. They have gone 7-1 in picking games,
and have an excellent roster. Their major mistake could prove costly. Anquan Boldin. If this team would've taken
Fitzgerald instead. They still are a contender though, and here is the reason...This team owns McNabb, HWard, and
Stover, and they need Boldin to come back and play, then lose to Philly, and for Ward to be productive. (HWard,
McNabb, Stover, Boldin)
LAST MINUTE MEN: They still have a chance, even at this last minute. (No Pun intended), here is their shot. Bryan
Westbrook. None of the above owners have him. Needless to say, they need a huge game from Westbrook.
(Fitzgerald, Westbrook, Mason, Parker)
KENWOOD BRONCOS '83: The last of the contenders, and they are on life support. There only chance...Mark
Clayton, DeSean Jackson, and they need Kurt Warner to have a big day without Fitzgerald having one. (DJackson,
Clayton, Warner, Parker)
Now the Pretenders:
MUDDAFUCKAZ: A pitiful showing by the Commissioner. After a perfect week picking games, they go 1-4 in the
Divisional Round. Its over for them, but they will be back for season six of the Playoff Fantasy Football League.
(Rothlisberger, Westbrook, Warner, Mason)
PIGSKINS: This veteran owner simply picked a lousy team. They had only one player to score in double figures during
the Divisional Round Games. Thanks for your donation and we hope to see you next year. (Warner, McClain,
DJackson, HWard)
SOUPerSTARZ: I just wish I could reward Mr. Campbell some kinda way for such a creative team name, but it is what
it is, "Ya shoulda picked a betta team." A grand total of only 125 player points, this rookie owner really took it on the
chin. I'm gonna need cash from you bud, your check might bounce!! (McClain, DJackson, Fitzgerald, HWard)
BALL BLASTERS: If you take the sum total of Fasano, Turner, Jacobs, Longwell, HWard, DJackson, DWilliams, and
their lousy ass picks you will see why its wait till next year for this team. But because this is a veteran owner, a Paypal.
com payment will be accepted. (McNabb, Fitzgerald, HWard, Mason)
The BEST MAN: Another cool team name, coined because he was the best man in my wedding. Good best man, lousy
owner. The only bright spot for this team, a league leading 25 points picking games, only one wrong pick through 8
games. Because of our distinct relationship, I will accept a link card payment for your entry fee. (Fitzgerald, HWard,
Heap, McNabb)
TNT ALLSTARS: A rookie owner, new to the entire Fantasy Football craze. So they got a good excuse for the
mistakes they made. But the main problem here is the fact that they have gone 1-7 in picking games. My daughter could
do better. But since this was my little league teammate, I am gonna allow him to let me watch some of the Championship
Round games on one of his big screen TVs and collect the entry fee then. (HWard, Fitzgerald, Mason, Akers)
JAMZ ALLSTARS: Berrian, Ward, and Dallas Clark when better players where available hurt this team. But because
they have been in the league since day one, are a previous PFFL Champion, and coordinator of the Turkey Bowls, they
can set up a "Man-Hangout Day" and I can get his entry fee that way. Cash only though, his credit score is lower than his
total points. (Westbrook, Fitzgerald, HWard, McClain)
Bad News Bears XIV: This is an all-around great guy, but we know where nice guys finish. (Westbrook, Warner,
Mason, HWard)
