Slayers Post Highest Score Yet!!1

SLAYERS POST HIGHEST SCORE YET!

The 80's metal band still has it!

  This week had two teams break this seasons highest scoring total, but only the Slayers ended up with a total of 156 points.  The Slayers took down the Jizz dropping them to their knees at 0-4.  It was dominating performances by Aaron Rogers and Antonio Brown that lead the way with Lamar Miller and Victor Cruz adding in solid point totals.  Jizonu started off slowly, but blew everything they had early and couldn't keep up with the stamina of the Slayers.  Jizonu suffered from horrible 0 point performances from DeSean Jackson and Darren Sproles.

  Liftoff had a chance with Tom Brady and the Patriots Defense left to play and only down 16 points, but due to the epic failure of the Patriots they suffered the same fate.  The Gotham Knights should not have won this match up this week, but with some luck and the fact that the Patriots crapped them selves and the fact that Liftoff left Jamal Charles on the bench they squeak by with another win.  The Gotham Knights improved to 2-2 while Lift Off crashes down to 1-3.  

  In the biggest match up of the week the two undefeated teams met in a death match.  Both team outscored all teams in the league except for the Slayers who to the top prize this week.  These two teams traded blows for a while until finally the Zombie Killers emerged as the last undefeated team in the league.  These Zombie Killers are having an amazing season (4-0), but the Wranglers have had to fight through injuries and child beatings to make it to 3-1.  

  Drew Brees and Steve Smith lead the way for Cubito's beatdown of the Dowds this week.  The Dowds were on an upward trend coming off their first win of the seaon, but suffered from subpar performances from everyone on their team except for Ben Roethlisberger.  This smackdown comes days after there were rumblings about a bet between the Grahams and the Dowds that involved chasing a Turkey...

  Quietly the Ocelot team impressively improved to 3-1 with a dominating performance over the Redneck team that seems to be really struggling.  The Rednecks squandered impressive performances by Frank Gore and Jay Cutler due to almost solely to the lack of scoring by the Eagles.  The Ocelot team had solid performances by most of their starters, but left Phillip Rivers and their 42 points on the bench.  

Wranglers Take Top Prize in Week 3

Wranglers Crush Competition in Week 3

A dominating performance taking down the 2 time defending Champs.

  The Wranglers have face numerous problems this season from Adrian Peterson gone for the season, Brandon Marshall hurt early, to really no running game.  Some how this team has started the season 3-0 and this week took down the 2 time defending champs Ocelot with dominating performances by Julio Jones and Andrew Luck.  This was a tough matchup from the beginning with both teams having a player on the Atlanta Falcons who destroyed Tampa Bay 56-14.  The fantasy gods ended up smiling at the Wranglers as every time Ocelots Quarterback (Matt Ryan) threw a touchdown pass it seemed to go to the Wranglers Receiver (Julio Jones).  From that point on it was a tough up hill battle for Ocelot although only being down 2 point at the end of Thursday night.

  The Dowds punished the Gotham Knights for their first win of the season.  The Knights has no answer for any of the points that the Dowds were putting up.  Kirk Cousins lead the way for the Dowds with another huge performance for the Skins; showing once again that he is a much better QB than RGIII.

  Another team grabbing their first win of the season was the Rednecks dropping the hapless and pathetic Jizonu team.  The Eagles lead the way for the Rednecks as Nick Foles and Jeremy Maclin totaled 59 points combined.  Jizonu made what some were calling the right decision before the game started, but leaving DeSean Jackson on the bench cost Jizonu the win in this game.  Sometimes you just have to play the hunches.

  We have a battle for top spot in the league right now between two of our female owners as the Zombie Killers improve to 3-0 on the season with a smackdown of the Liftoff team.  The Zombie Killers team was lead by Lev'onne Bell, Dez Bryant, and Colin Kapernick totaling for more that 60% of their teams points.  While the Lift Off team didn't even cross the 60 point mark, pathetic.

  Another team with no running game grabbed a win this week as the Slayers took down Cubito Aequet.  The Slayers improve to 2-1 on the season after a very disappointing week one, while Cubito Aequet dropped to 1-2 on the season.  Other than a crappy performance by Eddie Lacy the Slayers team had a solid week with not one player really carrying the team but with all players scoring enough to grab the win.  Cubito's team fell victim to leaving 80 points on his bench.  After the games on Sunday Mr Graham (Cubito Aequet team owner) was seen drinking his pain away with weight watchers shakes at the local WW center.

Week Two Marred in Controversy Ends.

OCELOT TAKE THE WEEK TWO CROWN!

Gotham Knights (1-1)  vs Cubito Aequet (1-1)  - This matchup started out close only to be marred in controversy.  The Gotham Knights jumped out to an early lead of 40+ points by around 3pm, but when the 4pm games started that’s when the tides started to turn.  Cubito’s 4pm starters outscored Gotham’s 70 -32 including the controversial touchdown by Percy Harvin.  The Gotham Knights just let this one slip away to fall to 1-1 on the season.

Lift Off (1-1) vs Ocelot (2-0) – This matchup could have easily gone the other way, but Lift Off’s team was ran into injury problems and a disappointing game by Pierre Thomas.  Ocelot continued to show their dominance in the league by putting together a solid performance without any real standout performances.  Ocelot took the lead early in this matchup and continued step on the throat of Lift Off as the match progressed.  Ocelot improved to 2-0 on the season while Lift Off fell to 1-1.

The Rednecks (0-2) vs Slayers (1-1) – In a matchup that was really slow to start the Slayers pulled ahead early in the 4pm games.  This was a low scoring affair that was dominated by the performance of Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.  The Slayers definitely benefitted from the ability to Start 2 quarterbacks in this matchup, while the Rednecks left some big points on the bench and had another disappoint performance by Larry Fitzgerald. 

Jizonu (0-2) vs The Wranglers (2-0) – This matchup was a close one and came down to the last game of the week.  The Wranglers only needed 1 point going into the Monday night matchup and Andrew Luck was able to conquer that mighty hill.  Jizonu has impressive performances by Cam Newton and Giovanni Bernard but not enough to defeat the Wranglers who had solid performances by most of their team. 

Dowds (0-2) vs Zombie Killers (2-0) – In the lowest scoring matchup of the week we saw a two teams battle and have not one player score in the 20’s.  This was previously thought to be impossible in this offensive driven NFL, but these two teams found a way to both suck playing against each other.  Amazingly enough the Zombie Killers advanced to 2-0 on the season scoring only 70 points.

Gotham Knights Furious Over Harvin Screw Job

Gotham Knights Furious Over Harvin Screw Job

Gotham Knights Owner Files Protest with NFL League Offices

  A flurry of activity is hitting the league offices this morning a thousands of league commissioners are meeting to discuss the Percy Harvin "not touchdown" run on Sunday.  As the NFL sorts through the overwhelming number of protests that are hitting their offices this morning there is a question that is gaining momentum.  Did Roger Goodell review this tape??  

  At halftime of yesterdays game the NFL had already started their PR campaign of falling on the sword and stating that yes they missed this call.  Reports came out from Twitter, ESPN, Yahoo, and all kinds of other media the minute that it happened.  It was apparent to everyone watching the game that he stepped out of bounds and the game announcers could only say, "Hmmm that was close".  

  The Gotham Knights of the GNR Classic Fantasy Football league was drastically affected by this horrible play and ended up losing 113 - 104 to Cubito Aequet.  Gotham Knights owner Mr Montiverdi stated, "I have been part of the NFL FF family for many years.  We have faith that the league will review this play and take the touchdown and yardage away from Mr Harvin and the Seahawks".  That being said Mr Montiverdi also stated, "We have filed a protest with the league demanding that this blatant error is rectified."     Mr Montiverdi has always been one of the "Hot Heads" of the league and has high demands upon the league.  One owner who wishes to stay anonymous stated, "Don't make him angry.  You wouldn't like to see him angry."

  The NFL in the past has modified players statistics after the game, but has not changed an actual scoring play in recent memory.  If this play is overturned the Gotham Knights would defeat Cubito Aequet 104-100.  It will be interesting to see how things unfold.

Week One in the Books!

Week One in the Books!

Zombie Killers Take Top Prize in Week One...

  There were many great games in the first week and a couple of misfires by some owners.  It was a great start to the season and we're hoping for many more weeks of competitive games.  We now have 5 owners who's wallets are $2 lighter.  We will be sending out invoices to those five owners later this week.

  First a statement by the league commissioner, "I will not be compensating Cubito Aequet for drafting Ray Rice," stated Commissioner Montiverdi.  The Commission later when on to say, "Mr Graham is the dumb ass that drafted him.  He can deal with this problem on his own."

  In the most heated first week match-up Ocelot took on Jizonu.  This match-up became heated when Jizonu owner Mr Johnson spoke out against awarding Ocelot with the Championship belt at the annual draft.  These two owners exchanged words through press statements, but in the first week they were able to match wits.  Jizonu jumped out to an early lead, but lost the game when Mr Johnson took a risk and played Cam Newton who was listed as a game time decision.  Ocelot takes the first match-up between these bitter rivals.

  In a matchup of two new teams to the GNR league The Dowds match-up against Liftoff.  These two teams kept it interesting all the way until the end.  The Dowd's kept the lead going into the last games of the week when liftoff was able to power past them with a big game from Matthew Stafford.  

  The Wranglers and Slayers matched up in a rivalry that has dated back a few years.  These owners are friends that have been known to play wagers on their head to head match-ups.  The Slayers were favored in this match-up, but due to a disappointing game by the Green Bay Packers they faced an uphill battle.  Not only did the Packers have a disappointing game, but Eddy Lacy the Slayers number one back is questionable for week 2 due to a concussion.

  In a match-up that went into Monday night the rEdNeCkS locked horns with the Gotham Knights.  These two teams have the most history in the league going back over a decade and it showed.  The rEdNeCkS took a 1 point lead going into Monday night where both teams had only their number 1 receiver left to play.  After the first 6 minutes of the Detroit Lions game it was obvious that the Gotham Knights had the upper hand when Megatron racked up 29 points on two TDs.    In the late Monday night matchup Larry Fitzgerald laid an Egg and could only muster 2 points.

  The matchup of the week is where the Zombie Killers took on Cubito Aequet as there was a fire storm of points.  The Zombie Killers racked up a week one high of 135 points to take the first weekly prize.  Mr Graham owner of Cubito Aequet went out after the game and in a bold and possibly genius move picked up suspended Wide Receiver Josh Gordon.  When asked about this move Mr Graham had nothing to say but laughed maniacally.  

  That's all for our week one wrap up, but if you would like to see more in next weeks wrap up please feel free to let me know.

Zombie Killers Looking to be Week One Winner

Zombie Killers Looking to be Week One Winner

  Week one has been a crazy one, but it looks like the Zombie Killers may be the week one weekly winner.  The Zombie Killers came out of the dark to surprise Cubito Aequet on the backs of Colin Kaepernick, Cordarrell Patterson, and Le'Veon Bell.  These three players accounted for more that 60% of the Zombie Killers points and rendered great games by Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas, and Drew Brees as useless.

 On a side note, Cubito Aequet did win the award for Most Annoying Name to Type in a Blog.
