Roughkat’s Fantasy Recap: More like Sousaphone Zeroes
Posted on October 2nd, 2007 – 11:34 AMBy Michael Rand
Every week, Roughkat takes you through the fascinating world of the RandBall Fantasy Football League, though sometimes he stops for burgers along the way. Roughkat?
We’ve made it through 4 weeks now. That’s like 25% of the NFL schedule (but over 28% of the RBFFL). Time to do a quick run down of the league to make some lame assessments of the teams and compare them to actual NFL teams, starting from the bottom up.
The Injured Underachievers (DaveMN) 0-4
Like the Dolphins, Dave has at least been able to put points on the board, just not enough. Players from both teams have underachieved. Another name for Miami is the Fins. Similarly, Dave once dressed up as the Fonz for Halloween.
TEFOMM (Stu) 1-3
Stu’s team seems to be in protest because he opted not to show up for the draft. Sounds a lot like a certain local team that wears purple, and I’m not talking about the Tommies.
Lew Ford & The Elves of Zarnia (Super Rookie) 1-3
Usually when you have the top pick in a draft, it means two things. One, you get LT2, and B) you should have a good team. Only one of these is true. Like the Falcons in Week 4, the Rookie seems to have turned things around and got a victory.
Sin City Rollers (toonces51 & Victor Lebanon) 1-2-1
We kid because we care, but these guys put together a pretty good team. They were a missed FG away from getting the win instead of the tie in Week 2. The same week that the Broncos were a timeout away from losing. Aren’t ties in fantasy sports the dumbest things ever? Who’s in charge of this league anyways? Oh wait …
Bears With Knives (Roughkat) 2-2
I’ll be the first person to tell you that I shouldn’t even have 2 wins. I really only had one good week and another I played a weak opponent. Sounds a little like the Raiders to me. My knee is OK, too, if you were wondering.
Don Lucia’s Hair (Jon) 2-2
Jon is an average team so far, just like the Bridgeport Sound Tigers were last year who finished 36-37-1-6 and missed the playoffs. I hope Jon doesn’t suffer the same fate.
Team Zissou (Ryan P) 2-1-1
Ryan has some great players and some bad players. Like the Titans, his only loss was to one of the top teams in the league. Ryan is also trying to dodge the MySpace curse and has this page anyways. OMG!
Killer Keebler Elvis’ (JPF) 3-1
JPF (Lions) has some serious play makers on his team and yet he’s really barely floating above 0.500. His season could go either way at this point. A tough schedule coming up (Zissou, Lew, Heroes, Zissou). I have no idea how a site lets you play the same team that close together. Blame the commish.
RandBall’s Sousaphone Heroes (Proprietor) 3-1
Great start in the first 3 weeks and then slowed down this last week. Call him McBeam. Injuries, bye weeks, and just an overall ginormous head might slow him down from here on out.
Birddogging the Beaver (Brandon) 4-0
The clear leader of the league, the ‘72 Fins are getting nervous. But comparing him to a current team, you have to look at either the Packers or Cowboys because his 4-0 start might be seen as somewhat of a surprise. I’ll go with the Dallas comparison though because his team has several studs on it, literally in Brady’s case.
Next Week
Bears with Knives vs. Don Lucia’s Hair
Lew Ford & The Elves of Zarnia vs. RandBall’s Sousaphone Heroes
TEFOMM vs. Sin City Rollers
Birddogging the Beaver vs. The Injured Underachievers
Team Zissou vs. Killer Keebler Elvis’
Questions: If Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan sold their baby on eBay, how much would it go for and/or who would buy it? Would any baby be worth more? Discuss.
