Say hi to Fred

A lot of you might think you’re pretty smart with this fantasy football thing. But I figure this little guy will beat all of us around the 2021 football season. I’m about 15 weeks pregnant, so she only weighs about an ounce or two right now, but I figure he’ll pack quite a punch in fantasy football once she’s about 12 years old or so. It’s too early to determine the sex, but for now, we call him Fred the Fetus, which is a vast improvement over Ethel the Embryo and Ziggy the Zygote. We’ll come up with a real name soon enough.

I know everyone wants to see a picture of the inside of my uterus, so here it is:Fredweb

Week 11

Filed under: Fantasy Football — posted by cara on November 20, 2008 @ 12:18 pm

Only three more weeks until the playoffs begin. I hate to say this, but it looks like the basement dwelling teams have already been eliminated from the money round, but they still have a shot at playing for giggles in the consolation round. The top eight teams will make some kind of playoffs, but only the top four in each conference will play for the money prizes.

Here are the standings through week 11:

Sweet revenge

Filed under: Fantasy Football — posted by cara on November 12, 2008 @ 2:12 pm

I posted the second highest score in the Franny Conference last week. Unfortunately, I played the team with the highest score (my Mom) and it just led to another number in my loss column. Oh well, she avenged her loss against me the first week of the season.

It looks like early losing teams got revenge in half the contests (spread over both leagues) last week. In the other half, the dominant teams continued their spankings now that the season is drawing to a close

The trade deadline in both leagues is Friday, so make those last minute trades now. In the meantime, here are the standings through week 10:

Martin Conference

1. THE DOMINATION SQUAD (Ryan M.), 8-2 record, 948 points
2. Yaugdawg (Eric Y.), 8-2 record, 871 points
3. Mudslingers (Mark M.), 7-3 record, 973 points
4. Shack Attack (Rachelle S.), 6-4 record, 889 points
5. Midnight Riders (Erin M.), 6-4 record, 789 points
6. Legion of Doom (Daryl S.), 4-6 record, 758 points
7. Rick’s Pics (Rick M.), 4-6 record, 750 points
8. I’m Gonna Win (Adam J.), 3-7 record, 829 points
9. Bully Dawgs (Chuck M.), 2-8 record, 757 points
10. California Crazies (Kristen M.), 2-8 record, 644 points

Franny Conference

1. Nickis Ninjas (Nichole H.), 7-3 record, 956 points

Week 9

Filed under: Fantasy Football — posted by cara on November 4, 2008 @ 4:16 pm

Starting in week 10, your schedule should start a wrap-around and you will play the teams that you faced earlier in the season. Perhaps the games will be easier this time around, but I doubt it.

The trade deadline for both conferences is this week as well, so make those last minute moves while you can.
