Woah, what happened? Where’d all the text go? The brilliant, brilliant writing?

Well, the whole reason I was writing about THIS league was that my league from LAST year didn’t seem to be a go, remember? Well…now it is. I’m going to switch my FF reportage over to THAT league, mainly because as it’s a Matrix Games league, the winner gets a game…when there’s something on the line, things get a little more intense (it’s like the difference in going all in on a poker hand in a ‘for fun’ game, and for a $40 pot). Also, Matrix leagues have RIDICULOUSLY high scoring, so you’re almost never out of the game (passing TDs are worth 12 points, rushing TDs 15, receiving TDs 18). This league also has some very, VERY unique lineups, with 2 QBs, 2 Defenses and 2 Kickers in the STARTING lineup, as well as 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, and one flex RB/WR spot.

Now, I am also in a SECOND Matrix league this year. Same high scoring, though some really bizarre calculations will be needed (example…pass completions are worth .4 points each). The big deal with THIS league is, rather than taking team defenses, you draft defensive PLAYERS. The lineup in this league is…1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 3 Defsnive Linemen, 3 Defensive Backs, and 2 Defensive players (probably will be linebackers, since solo tackles are 5 goddamn points each).

So, this is where I throw it open to anyone who’s going to be reading this updates on FF…which team should be the one I focus on blathering about? Doesn’t really matter to me, but I leave it open to you.

Team one’s draft is Saturday, Aug 30th, Team two’s is Sunday, Aug 31st. So, I need to know by the 29th, folks.

Why vote in pointless political elections when you can REALLY affect CHANGE. :)

    Calvin Pace, against all odds, seems to be poised to do something in New York, too.

    Yeah, he could actually be a good fit there. The problem with him (and with LaBoy, actually), is that they’re linebackers. I don’t see them piling up MASSIVE sack totals, so there’s no way I would pick either of them ahead of a middle-man who has a shot at racking up big tackle totals, since I can only play 2 linebackers, max. Now, if perhaps Yahoo decides to ‘cheat’ and classify them as linemen, it’s all good. I don’t really know, because the rankings list for defensive players right now is absolute nonsense…there’s a few guys you’ve heard of, and a bunch of filler. So, either it’s going to be updated right before the draft, or that’s SUPPOSED to be how it is, in which case this could become very interesting in the crapshoot sense.
