Fantasy Season Comes to a Close

Well, friends, my fantasy football season in both leagues came to a pathetic, sputtering end last night. 

All wasn't lost, however; in Frozen Loon (my 12 man league) I won my division and finished the regular season 11-5 (second-best record in the league).  Not bad at all. 

Unfortunately, the wheels came off my team over the last couple of weeks.  I did not have Adrian Peterson at my disposal over the last two weeks and last night I lost DeMarco Murray to a broken ankle and any hope of making a comeback in my playoff game.  In the end, I got smoked.

It gets even worse in More Beer (my 10 man league).  I didn't make the playoffs and found myself in the "Toilet Bowl."  I had a commanding lead going into Sunday night's game, but my opponent had Eli Manning, Hakeem Nicks and Miles Austin still playing.  I wasn't sweating it too much.  His players would have to have HUGE nights to beat me - I mean, Manning would have to pass for 400 yards and a couple TDs and Nicks would have to have over 150 yards receiving for starters.

And that's exactly what happened.  I ended up losing by seven points. 

Tradition in this league bestows the Toilet Bowl loser the honor of furnishing beverages at the next years' draft.  And that tradition has always been a 16 gallon keg... which rarely gets drank.  But tradition is tradition.

It was just a bad year for me in More Beer.  Started with the draft and snowballed all season long.  I ended up with four lousy wins.

But there's always next year.
