NY UNDER ATTACK

Yes, ladies ITS TRUE!!!!!

The city of New York is once again under attack. This time it is not terrorist that is attacking the city, it is pirates, and not just any pirates, but the Cutthroat Pirates. As you can see from the photo the Pirates have been to New York drank all their rum, and then pillage and plundered the city leaving it a burning mess. After this weeks loss, the New York Knights will be known as the New Jersey Knights as the Knights and their King must relocate to New Jersey.

All hail the King is dead.

Remember Dead Kings and knights tell no tales

Madden Week 2 Report 06

Well ladies its that time, time for the Madden Report. I must first give credit to this weeks sponsor http://www.pottytrainingconcepts.com/Flip-Toilet-Seat-R-z.html

This company specializes in Toilet Pottie‘s. They have told Madden that a BOX of Toilet Pottie’s are being shipped out to the owners of Boston Beer Works, and Bartow Ford for taking a public dump and starting the season out 0-2.

On the flip side of things, NY Knights are leading the Crimson Division with an undefeated record of 2-0.

The Superdestroyers are leading the Titanium Division with an undefeated record of 2-0.

If either one of these teams can win two more victories, they will have the record for an undefeated team with 4 wins. Bartow Ford holds the record at 3-0 (2005), and it was the Superdestroyers who ended the winning streak for Bartow Ford. (2005).

This week the Superdestroyers face SUKMYDITKA, which Madden will give the surprise team of the year (to date, still a lot of football to be played) the WIN. Then next week the Superdestroyers face the SONS OF HELL. Madden is also going to Vegas and laying the cash down that the Superdestroyers will win their 4th game in a row. Then in week 5 Superdestroyers will beat gang green. Then in week 6, the Superdestroyers winning record will end as Cutthroat Pirates make shark bait out of the OLD MAN.

The NY Knights are looking to repeat as the SUPERBOWL Champs, but they must take their first loss of the season as the Cutthroat Pirates dock at New York this Sunday. The Pirates will pillage that city and force the N.Y. Knights to relocate and become the New Jersey Knights. This will happen without the Pirates Mate T.O.

As for the rest of the League: Will Work For Points must be dying from heat stroke, because he has not been working for any points lately. Detroit L. S., what can I say about this F*@K tough team. They lost their first game, but have since beat the Pirates in a close game. The L.S. are getting ready to give the Crimson Division a run for their money. This week the Detroit L.S. face Bartow Ford and the owner of the Detroit L.S. had this to say:

Detroit: Around the world, the word "Detroit" means cars We are the headquarters of Ford and General Motors. "Motor City," tells the story of a hundred years of people building cars, and cars building communities.

Madden: How does this relate to Bartow Ford?

Detroit: This guy thinks he knows about cars?????????? He would not know a car if it drove up his ass. I know about cars, I am from the Motor City. You can’t know about cars if you are a Person Of Less Knowledge (POLK). Where in the sam hell is Bartow anyway.

Madden: I think it is a little town between Tampa and Orlando.

Detroit: Ok, Tampa , and Orlando with Mickey Mouse I know. I bet this Bartow Ford is nothing more than a used car dealership. In fact I bet this car lot is like the old 1980 Movie USED CARS.

Madden: Laughing, that was a good movie, but I think Bartow Ford is one of the highest rated dealerships in Florida, and come Sunday I think it might be him driving F-350’s up your ass.

Detroit: "Why don't you try stickin' jou head up jour ass -- see if it fits Mr. Madden

Madden: Come on Mr. Detroit L.S. no need to get mad. I was just asking what if?

Detroit: "I neva fucked anybody over in my life, who didn't have it comin' to 'im, you got that? All I have in this world is my balls, and my word, and I don't break 'em for no one, jou understand?"

Madden: I understand, I understand, so what is your word for this Sunday?

Detroit: My word is simple, Detroit L.S. will kick the living shit out of Bartow Ford on Sunday. "I'm the owner of the Detroit L.S.! You fuck wit me, you fuckin' wit da best!"

To finish up on the rest of the league, SUKMYDITKA, SONS OF HELL and gang green are all 1-1. The surprise is SOL, they had a very bad draft, but have won a game and played a close 2nd game.

Boston Beer Works, what are we going to do with you? How can this owner be 0-2? Madden and you need to get drunk and work on the X's and O’s.


Well ladies it is time to hand out the Madden Awards for Week Two:

Team of the Week:
Superdestroyers 124 Points

Player of the Week:
Peyton Manning with 34 points

Game of the Week:
Boston Beer Works 88 vs. SUKMYDITKA 94

Remember ladies, IT'S IN THE GAME

DESTROYERS SLEEPY!

YES, I MUST ADMIT, THIS GAME WAS A BIT BORING. I EXPECTED MORE OUT OF BARTOW CHEVY!! AT LEAST WITH BOSTON BEER FAGS I WAS SWEATING A BIT AT THE END BECAUSE OF THIER OUTSTANDING RUNNING ATTACK AND THE FACT IT COULD HAVE VERY EASILY GONE THE OTHER WAY IF ONLY ONE OR 2 OF THE BBF PLAYERS WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP IN WEEK 1. BUT THIS GAME, BCHEVY WAS DOOMED FROM THE START AND I FELL ASLEEP. I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS NOW AS THE 2 AND 0 DESTROYERS GO INTO WEEK 3.

DICK THE REPORTER: COACH, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR STAR RUNNING BACK LAMONT JORDON STRUGLING IN HIS FIRST 2 WEEKS?

COACH: I'M NOT REALLY WORRIED, FRANK GORE AND REGIE BUSH HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT AND MY QB AND DEFENSE HAVE CARRIED MUCH OF THE LOAD THUS FAR.

DICK THE REPORTER: COACH, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR WEEK 7 MATCH UP WITH THE 2-0 NY NITES?

COACH: I'M NOT LOOKING THAT FAR IN ADVANCE YET AND WE WANT TO TAKE IT ONE GAME AT A TIME. RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO GET READY FOR SUCK MY DICK WHICH SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME BUT I WOULDN'T BET ON IT. I WILL SAY THAT WEEK 7 IS A DOWN WEEK FOR THE DESTROYERS AS MANY OF OUR STARTERS WILL BE ON A BYE WEEK. THIS COMES AT A VERY INOPPORTUNE TIME AS WE WILL FACE ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE NEXT TO US. I FEEL THAT SOMEHOW, THE DESTROYERS WILL GET IT DONE. NEXT WEEK HOWEVER, SHOULD BE AN ASS KICKING IN MUCH THE SAME FASION AS THE FIRST TWO WEEKS AND THEN WE WILL GO FROM THERE. THATS ALL THE TIME I HAVE RIGHT NOW, GOOD NITE BARTOW CHEVY AND THE REST OF YOU BITCHES!! DESTROYERS ARE BACK!!!

Fantasy Sports on Job No Cause for Ejection, Study Says

Hey guys this is an article taking out of Sunday's paper from The Ledger.

SCORING SOME PLAYTIME IN THE WORKPLACE

Fantasy Sports on Job No Cause for Ejection, Study Says

By NATHAN HALVERSON
New York Times Regional Newspapers

SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- Bosses: Think twice before sacking a worker caught playing
fantasy football on the job. Sure, fantasy football might cost employers lots of
money -- $8.5 billion annually by one estimate -- but labor experts say its a
worthwhile office perk and perhaps a valuable networking tool.

Fantasy
football -- a common game in offices across the country -- is the latest example
of how technology has mixed business with pleasure.

A new study
estimates fantasy football will cost companies $500 million a week in lost
productivity as workers log on to league Web sites or check cell phones for the
latest info during the course of the 17-week NFL season. Its estimated that 17
million players take part.

But surprisingly, rather than suggesting
companies stamp out fantasy football in the office, employers should embrace it,
according to a Chicago employment company that produced the study.

"We
take our work home with us. We check our Blackberries on vacation. Work has
invaded personal life. So there is no reason personal life

shouldn't
invade company life, as long as it doesn't get out of hand," said John
Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which
published the report.

The boundaries between private life and company
life have completely blurred, he said.

Beyond that, Challenger and a
growing number of advocates argue fantasy football has a positive influence in
the work environment.

"What a great way for a manager or president of a
company to create community and increase communications -- have employees
compete in a fun and equal way," Challenger said.

At a time when
employee turnover is at record highs, creating a sense of community and loyalty
is more valuable than the time that is lost -- 50 minutes a week for the typical
worker -- when employees play fantasy football at work, Challenger said.

In fantasy football, participants select NFL players to fill the roster
of their fantasy team. The team earns points every time one of those real NFL
players, say Chad Johnson or Shaun Alexander, scores a touchdown or sacks the
quarterback during a regular season game.

The fantasy team that accrues
the most points wins.

In the past 10 years, fantasy football leagues
have expanded from a poster board in the employee break room to fancy Web sites
that track every fumble, touchdown and missed field goal.

Some companies
appear willing to concede personal time to their on-the-clock employees.

"If they just go on there during a 10-minute break . . . then I don't
think that would be a big problem," said Lonnie Haskins, spokesman for State
Farm Insurance in Rohnert Park, Calif. "But if it gets out of hand -- they're
doing it for three hours a day -- then that would be misuse of company equipment
and misusing company time."

HERE I AM

You guys have talked alot of crap, but since the season started I have not heard anyone call the Knights out. By my performance last week I assumed a couple of you guys would have the balls to write an article. The only owner that had something to say was crazy ass MADDEN, and that was only because he scored high for the week.

Will work for points; you are new to the league. You are about to feel what the rest of these guys felt last year. HOPELESS...

For the rest of you guys, you are pictured on the left in the orange shorts.

Madden Week 1 Report.

Well ladies the weekly Madden Report is back. I must first give credit to this weeks sponsor. http://www.sonici.com This company specializes in hearing aids. They have told Madden that a BOX of Hearing Aids are being shipped out to the owner of the Superdestroyers. This will help him with next seasons draft.

Well ladies the weekly Madden Report is back. I must first give credit to this weeks sponsor. http://www.sonici.com This company specializes in hearing aids. They have told Madden that a Box of Hearing Aids are being shipped out to the owner of the Superdestroyers. This will help him with next seasons draft.

I had to repeat it twice for Superdestroyers. It’s a bitch to get old Superdestroyers. I must also thank Bartow Ford for the use of his house for the draft.

Now for another sore issue about the draft. It seems that a lot of owners have expressed a desire to make the owner of Gang green drink warm piss at the next draft. This could only be for the fact that he brought piss warm beer to the draft. Let this be a lesson learned to all owners; If you lose the Toilet Bowl, you must bring a COLD CASE of BEER.

Year two of the Playmakers Fantasy Football League is here and do we have some changes. 1st we lose the Terror Squad and gain Will Work For Points. Second, Daddy Mo Bucs changes his team name to Sons of Hell, and we get the abbreviation SOH???????? Oh yeah its SOL (Shit Out of Luck) Like when you picked Curtis Martin you became SOL, and that must be how you picked your team abbreviation.

Other small changes from last season, Detroit Latin Stars are now known as Detroit LS and the have a better logo. The NY Knights also updated their logo. SUKMYDITKA also change his logo from Ditka with a cigar to Ditka with a women.

It seems that everyone is running scared of NY Knights. The talk of the draft was how could the Knights not repeat with the likes of Shaun Alexander and Larry Johnson. Well then with the 10/11 pick the SMART owner of the Knights pick up Randy Moss and Chris Chambers. Now the Knights looked as if they could repeat. NOT!!!!

Now let me, John Madden, start the Playmakers Fantasy Footbal Madden Report Week 1

Now with week one over lets see how each team did and how the draft picks went.

SOL 82
SUKMYDITKA 80

What a close game, I was trying to figure out how 82 points were scored from SOL with Curtis Martin, Ron Dayne, and TJ Duckett. However, SONS of HELL was able to pullout a win against last years Super Bowl Runner Up. This game goes down as game of the week. I do have a bad feeling that SOL might be bringing the COLD Beer to the draft next season. Don’t get pissed at me, the Poll question, which was asked by Boston Beer Works had SOL getting the most votes as the team to be in the Toilet Bowl and having to bring the beer next season. For those of you who don’t know it, SUKMYDITKA actually called the Commissioner and asked for a roster change. He pulled Steve Smith out of his line up. Plus SUKMYDITKA wrote a small WARM BUD WHY? Article. Could this be the year that SUKMYDITKA becomes active. Lets hope so, it is nice to see you on here.

There is a sad story that must be told, if SUKMYDITKA would have checked his roster/players, he would have seen that Deion Branch was not going to play for New England. He could have started Troy Williamson who was on his bench and got 7 points. He only need 3 points to win. ITS A DARN SHAME.

SUKMYDITKA, in case you don't know Branch got traded this week to the Seahawks. Thanks to Superdestroyers owner for the heads up on this story.

Cutthroat Pirates 121
GangGreen 61

Ass kicking is all I can say, it seems that the owner of the Pirates is again starting the season off like LAST season, and Gang Green is starting his season off like LAST season as well. I would hate to be 2-12, and yes that is your record since last season.

Will Work For Points 93
Bartow Ford 83

Well it seems that begging for points just might be the new thing to try. Will Work For Points begged and he received. The new team in the League is starting out strong, but can it continue this week as he plays the champs, the NY Knights. As for Bartow Ford, he should rebound from this loss, but it might not be this week as Madden thinks Superdestroyers could pull out his second victory.

Superdestroyers 97
Boston Beer Works 82

What can be said about uhhhhh,
Superdestroyers cant hear you. Well it looks as if this owner does not need to be able to hear in order to win. This owner says he now understands fantasy football and is going to the Super Bowl. Well with a one game win, it is hard to tell, but the OLD MAN could be a force to be reckoned with in the Titanium Division

I interviewed Boston Beer Works owner about his lost and he only had this to say,
Boston:“ Well John, (Madden) it seems that I had a lingering effect from the WARM BEER that I drank on draft day.”
Boston: “I mean what asshole servers beer that is warm to his friends?”
Madden: I must agree with you, warm beer can mess anybody up, but it really effects a Beer expert like yourself.
Boston: “John you are so right, a WARM BEER is a stomach’s worst nightmare, it can cause Digestive disorders that can turn your stomach — and your life — upside down. From constipation and diarrhea to GERD and IBS.
Madden: This game should be contested due to you medical problems over drinking WARM BUD.
Boston: “No, John, I am a grown man, and my team will face its first loss of the season. However, I assure you that come Sunday, my team and I will be drinking only the COLDEST IRISH BEER that money can buy.”
Madden: Will this change the outcome of your game.
Boston: “I garn-damn tee it.”

Detriot LS 82
NY Knights 99

The champs start this season off as he ended last season with a win. I must point out since only I can do, because I am JOHN MADDEN, HALL of FAMER the Champs won this week without the help of their two star running backs Alexander and Johnson. This does not spell good news for the other owners in the league. What would his points have been if those two star studded backs had showed up? The real question is does anyone care? I mean Detroit LS almost had the Knights number, but came up short. The Knights have got 12 more games to play before the post season, and anything can happen. As for Detroit, you have a team that can beat anyone, but which team will show up on Sunday, is your only concern. I hate to say it but after this week, Detroit LS will be 0-2. I will also go out on a limb and say that the Knights will win his second game this week. Sorry WWFP, but I just don’t think you can beat the Champs.

Well ladies it is time to hand out the Madden Awards for Week One:

Team of the Week: Cutthroat Pirates 121 points
Player of the Week: (Tie) D. McNabb and Kurt Warner both with 29 points
Game of the Week: SOL 82 vs. SUKMYDITKA 80
Def of the Week: (Tie) Bears and Ravens both with 28 points
Most Improved Team: Superdestroyers from last season.
The Shit Team: Gang Green 61 points (lowest points scored)

Remember ladies, IT'S IN THE GAME

Who Kicked Who's Ass

121-61 thats an ass kicking. How does it feel to start off the season in LAST place already. Look at the power rankings, your dead LAST.

Oh for anybody keeping track that makes gangrene 2-12 all time.

2-10 (last season)
0-1 (Toilet Bowl)
0-1 ( start of this season)

PLEASE BRING COLD BEER FOR NEXT SEASON DRAFT BUCKY.

Gangrene

I must sink to a new low, this week I play the sorry ass Gang Green. This is the same team that came in LAST in the league LAST season. This is also the same team, who was one of three owners to show up LAST at this seasons draft. This is also the same team owner, who brought the piss warm beer, that we could not drink until the LAST part of the draft. This is the same owner, who has the LAST name of the position that he will rank after this season, : Dead LAST. It is my pleasure to hand this sorry ass team known as gang green, which sure I know he means the nickname for the LAST place NFL team known as NY Jets. However, I am calling him gangrene, the disease process that infects dead tissue in the human body. This team is already dead, and gangrene is setting in and the season has not even started. This is like a bad beer commercial, if he would have only drank a nice cold beer on draft day, he might have been cured. But instead this sorry ass owner bought warm beer and by drinking it, he sped up his demise, now the ass kicking starts and after Sunday Cutthroat Pirates will be cheated because the only flesh that we will be cutting is dead skin full of gangrene.

Madden Report?

The Madden Report will be back starting Tuesday.

WWFP has jumped out to a nice lead thanks to Ronnie Brown.

Sukmyditka got some nice points by the Steelers D.

Welcome to the new season, as the Steelers took it to the Dolphins. Sunday is going to be great.


It seems, Benny and Jerry have called out the Champs, but there is nothing but silences. Are the Champs afraid that maybe they are not that damn good after all?

YOUR ONE OF THE SISSYS WHO WOULDN'T SPEAK UP SO THIS OLD MAN COULD HEAR YOU! I,M GLAD YOU HAVE A VOICE SO FAR BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS, YOU WILL SOON BE SILENCED THOUGH ONCE THE DESTROYERS GET THROUGH WITH YOU!!

HEY BOSTON BEER WORKS, WHY DIDN'T I GET AN AKA? DO YOU HAVE THAT MUCH RESPECT FOR MY TEAM?

I HOPE MY ANTICS DURING DRAFT DAY THREW SOME OF YOU OFF YOUR GAME! I'M SURE AT LEAST I WILL KEEP SOME TALK GOING THROUGH THIS SEASON AND INTO NEXT AS I DID LAST SEASON AS THE ONE WHO DRAFTED 2 QBs IN THE FIRST 2 ROUNDS AND COULDN'T GRASP WHAT A SLOT PLAYER WAS UNTIL CUTTHROAT PIRATES PUT IT SIMPLE, "IT'S JUST AN EXTRA PLAYER."

NY Knight's Running Back

Enough is enough! NY Knits will no longer be the Superbowl Champions after this year. Their rein is over. Teams such as Superdestroyers may (term is used loosely) have a clue this year and win some games. In any event, this is the year of the Boston Beer Works. Watchout and drink your piss warm beer because Beer Works has no mercy and will be the champions. Long live Southie!

The Poll question also come from Boston Beer Works. It is also on the CBS Sports Line Web Site.

BREAKING NEWS:

I decided to take the stories that are being posted on CBS Sports Line and post them here, I am only changing the real names to team names to protect that person's identity on this open web site.

original story posted by Bartow Ford on CBS Sports Line on Aug. 28, 2006.

With conclusion of the draft most owners assume the NY Knights to have the inside track to the championship. However, this just in. It has been reported NY Knights Owner, Shawn Alexander, and Larry Johnson have been caught in a homosexual love triangle. The Ledger reports the accused were seen entering The Imperial Swann off South Florida Avenue. Inside Edition confirmed this with pictures of NY Knights Owner orally pleasing both football stars and then playing a game of catch with out the use of a football. The Seahawks and Chiefs teams are outraged and every player has vowed never to play a down with either gayfer again. Leaving the fantasy football world in shock and dismay. A close friend, Cutthroat Pirates Owner, was shocked to hear the report and stated, "its one thing to live for fantasy football, but its another to live out a homo fantasy." NY Knights Owner, will continue on in the Playmakers league but season seems to be over before its begun. In related news the New York Giants have invited the NY Knights Owner to appear at their last home preseason game and asked him to stay as a "trainer"

NY Knights

New Logo : The Champs finally got a real logo

SONS OF HELL

Daddy MO Bucs is back with new blood.

The new team name is SONS OF HELL.

Looking forward to the fantasy year.

Hell Awaits You!

Will Work For Points Logo Revealed:

Will Work For Points New Logo Revealed. Does anyone see the Miami Dolphin fan in this logo.

Playmaker Fantasy Draft Update:

Draft Update: The way things are looking, our fantasy football draft will be on August 27th, somewhere around noon. NY Knights has told me that Boston Beer Works can not hold the draft this year, his house won't be finished in time. NY Knights has agreed to hold the draft at his house, or we might use Bartow Ford. I will keep you posted on the draft site, and time. If anyone has a problem with dates get with me. I have asked and it seems everyone was ok with this weekend. Get with Gang Green, as he will be bringing your drinks. Also the old Titanium Division will be buying this years pizza, so bring cash guys, no checks. Cutthroat Pirates, SUKMYDITKA, Bartow Ford, DMB, and Superdestroyers.

Also I will need entry fees of $50.00 on this day.

We will annonuce Keepers in a few weeks so start watching the preseason games this Sunday.

4 Days until the first preseason game.

Here it is guys 4 days away from preseason. So start looking at your keepers now. I also see the NY Knights are pussies and have not responded to my last article.

Also Bartow Ford has responded and signed into the CBS Sportsline, he checked in on the poll question by his name. Now the only three left are Gang Green. Where the hell are you at Bucky. School is over and you can't take two minutes to login by your name. Besides Detroit LS has called you out already on the CBS site and he is demanded his beer.

The other two are of course the same two sorry asses that never write anything. Ok DMB, I know you posted a couple of articles last season. But come on bro, get into it. As for SUKMYDITKA the Superbowl runner up, you would think he would get on and talk a little trash. These guys can't even sign on the website. WHAT THE F*&K.

The NY Knights Finally Speak.

According to the NY Knights,

“I think the Knights will have a great team and are the favorite to win it all
again. The Knights owner is too smart to allow otherwise. The rest of you guy
ought to talk Tommy into increasing the second place prize money in order for
you guys to have something to play for. It's pretty sad coming into the season
knowing you are playing for second place. Sucks to be you guys.”

I must agree with Boston Beer Works. The Knights are a bust. Every good thing must come to an end.

Knights said

"How does it feel to be playing for 2nd place",

But I must remind him that it is harder to defend a championship then to win one. I think he is starting at the tenth spot and will have to climb his way back to the top, which I damn well guarantee he won't do.

I also think the rest of the owners in this league are a bunch of pussies and are afraid of the Knights.

The only two real owners in this league making any real noise against the defending champs are sharing a bottle of rum and chasing it with beer. Boston Beer Works and I are sitting back, drinking and laughing at this seasons competition. The only real team we must face besides each other is the Knights, and once we finish off the Knights, it will be Boston Beer Works and the Cutthroat Pirates in the Super Bowl with all the Beer and Rum you can drink.

So Drink up, me hearties, yo ho.

It must be a sad day to know that the first and second place prize money is taken before the season even starts. As for my drinking buddy (Boston), the order of the prize money will be determined in December. As for now we will be the two drunk bitches kicking ass and taking names in our own respected divisions.

DMB is Ready for the season.

Since I have called DMB, Bartow Ford out for not paying, I better let all owners know that DMB has paid in full.

DMB, as we know him, might be getting a new team name this season. However, my friend DMB did have one request, he wants gang green to bring a lot of beer to the draft.

Season is Upon US

Hey guys, the season is upon us. Today I received our draft board in the mail. The draft looks as if it might be Aug 26 or the 27. Let me know if you guys have any schedule conflicts with either date. I have spoke with DMB, he is going to pay me today, so Bartow Ford is all that is left.

The draft location is scheduled to be at Boston Beer Works' House. He or I will get with you all for further info.

On another note, I could not get those two pretty bikinis, and heels wearing women to help us out, on draft day with the draft board. However, SUKMYDITKA and Gang Green have agreed to wear bikinis, and heels to take care of this years draft board. I am sorry guys. So bring your Zofran (a nausea medication) to help you deal with these two hairy bikini wearing friends, who are just trying to help the league out.

Back from Surgery..

Well, I am back. After a short stay at WHH, and a successful surgery, I am ready for football season. From what I can tell only Boston Beer Works, Detroit L. S., and Superdestroyers are as eagerly ready for this season. The defending champs and his LAST Place brother are no shows on the Blog, and the regular fantasy web site (cbs sports line). We know that we can't count on SUKMYDITKA, DMB, and Bartow Ford for articles, but I sure was hoping that Will Work for Points was going to be a man and post his share of articles.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 2005:
Cadillac Williams with 4 votes was enough to win. This was a close race with Willie Parker getting 3 votes. One vote went to Health Miller.

The next poll will be for BREAKOUT PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Larry Johnson, Carson Palmer, Anquan Bolden, Thomas Jones

Vote Now as I am trying to finish last season awards before this season starts.

The New York Knights Any Thoughts?

This article comes from the owner of the Cutthroat Pirates, and not as the Commish of the League. I am calling out the owner of the New York Knights. You see, last week he told me that he was going to repeat and that I could prepare the league for such an event.

Well, I guess he thinks we are scared of Shaun Alexander and Larry Johnson? Do not forget my friend that there is a draft that must take place and you pick 10th. Last season you might have been a big hit, in fact you could call yourself King of the league, but this season you will be a bad comedy. You should be worried, because this season the Cutthroat Pirates are in your Division and will be kicking your ass not once this year but twice. See you on the field, and remember Dead Men Tell No Tales...........................

What do you, the other owners think about the NY Knights. Will he repeat or is his season about to become a B rated comedy.

Fantasy Quarterbacks Rankings........

If you look at the picture of Jake Plummer and think Superdestroyers wrote this article, Your wrong. I thought since our league needed a mascot it would be Jake Plummer.

Well its 37 days away from Kick Off. The 1st preseason game which, is the Hall of Fame Game between Oakland vs. Philadelphia in (Canton, Ohio) is on August 6th.

So with that in mind, we need to start planning for our draft date? I was thinking around August 26th or August 27th. Let me know, we can do it a week earlier if need be. But I want to do it on a weekend this year.

I have purchased the CBS Sportsline web site again for this season. Boston Beer Works, Detroit L.S. and myself are the only ones that have logged on. Also Boston Beer Works and myself are the only two that seem to be using the blogger, so come on guys get involved.

I have collected money from everyone but two owners. Daddy Mo Bucs still owes $12.50 and Bartow Ford, the richest man in the group still owes $11.50. So help get on their asses. You all had to pay, and so should they. Yes, you could say that I am calling them out since they don't call me or answer their emails.

OK, here is the current trend of Quarterbacks for the 2006 season, This is not my list, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT MY LIST.

#1 Jake Plummer (Keeper) : Ok not really that is for Superdestroyers. Go ahead and keep him Superdestroyers, nobody wants him.

The real list: Subject to change due to preseason. Feel free to change it and add your own comments about the qbs, after all that is what this damn blog is for. I will do RBs next, but I figured who cares since between NY Knights and Boston Beer Works, the top three are gone anyway. When I but the tag keeper, it does not mean that owner is keeping that player, it means that he should be a keeper (but that depends on your own thoughts and roster). The team name is who currently ownes that player, does not mean he won't be cut.

1. Peyton Manning (Keeper) (SUKMYDITKA) - 2006 Preview: Manning came back down to Earth in 2005 to put up human statistics. He showed his usual less than fantasy ability in the playoffs, but that doesn't effect us in fantasy land. The loss of Edgerrin James at running back should not hurt Manning's stats as much as it it will hurt the Colts, in fact it will probably help his fantasy stats because of the need to throw a little more.

2. Carson Palmer (Keeper) (Detroit L.S.) - 2006 Preview: Would have made a claim for #1 if not for his devastating knee injury. His #2 ranking could fall if bad reports come in, but so far they reports have been positive. In 2005 Palmer exploded into the quarterback elite along with his offensive stars Chad Johnson and Rudy Johnson. Toss in T.J. Houshmandzadeh into the mix and a healthy Palmer is poised for another big fantasy season.

3. Donavan McNabb (Cutthroat Pirates) - 2006 Preview: McNabb was on his way to having a big season, but injury ended his season after 9 weeks. He was on pace for about 4,500 and 30 TD's after throwing for 3,800 yards and 31 TD's in 2004. The loss of Terrel Owens had little effect on McNabb and shouldn't in '06 either. Add in McNabb's rushing potential he stays in the top 3.

4. Marc Bulger (Gang Green) - 2006 Preview: Bulger was on his way to having a huge fantasy year before his injury. He was looking at 4,500 yards and 28 TD's. Their is no reason to expect different from Bulger in 2005. Martz or not, the offense has the weapons to keep Bulger in top 5 of fantasy quarterbacks.

5. Tom Brady - (Boston Beer Works) 2006 Preview: Brady flexed his fantasy muscle in 2005 and makes a legitimate claim to be the #1 quarterback in fantasy football both in 2005 and for 2006. Before 2005 he was a dependable 3,700 yards - 25 TD quarterback. Now with the team needing him more, he can be looked at as a possible 4,000 yard, 30 TD potential quarterback. Might edges Eli Manning because of experience, but Eli has potential for better fantasy numbers.

6. Eli Manning - (Cutthroat Pirates) 2006 Preview: The younger Manning is eager to prove he is a top quarterback, but has yet to take that next step. A low completion percentage and too many interceptions prevents him from being a stud, but he has only played 2 years. He could breakout in 2006 and become a top 3.

7. Matt Hasselback (NY Knights) - 2006 Preview: Very consistent quarterback who would rank higher if it were not for Shaun Alexander in the backfield scoring so many TD's. Nevertheless, Hasselback puts up very good fantasy numbers year after year.

8. Daunte Culpepper (Free Agent) - 2006 Preview: Coming back from injury and an awful year drops the former fantasy stud to #7. He has the potential to move back up, all the way to #1, but their are too many questions to draft him as such. His running ability adds a lot to his value and can't be discounted.

9. Jake Delhomme (Bartow Ford)- 2006 Preview: Very solid fantasy quarterback who is always dangerous having Steve Smith to throw to. A consistent run game could help Delhomme become more consistent week-to-week and throw less interceptions.

10. Aaron Brooks ( Will Work for Points)- 2006 Preview: Nothing could have been better than moving out of New Orleans for Brooks. He has always been a very good fantasy quarterback and joining up with Moss should help him more. He is a gamble, but he might come up big in the yardage and TD category.

Best of the Rest:


11. Byron Leftwich (Free Agent)- Jacksonville - Back from injury, doesn't make mistakes, is still getting better.

12. Drew Brees (Boston Beer Works)- New Orleans - Returning from shoulder injury & uncertainty of new team drops his rankings.

13. Drew Bledsoe (Daddy Mo Bucs)- Dallas - 1 year to get comfortable & now he has T.O. Parcells is a bit conservative, but he should excel.

14. Jake Plummer (Superdestroyers)- - Not much in the playoffs, but very good on paper, might feel pressure from rookie

15. Trent Green (Superdestroyers)- Kansas City - The TD's get less & less with Johnson, but still puts up solid numbers.

Cutthroat Pirates Top QB this season: Daunte Culpepper (Free Agent), IF (Key word) he can return from knee injury, and having something to prove after a bad, bad season with the Vikings, and lets not forget that he has Chris Chambers as a WR, who was the hottest WR near the end of last season. Culpepper could be the come back KING this season.

Cutthroat Pirates Sleeper picks: Kurt Warner (Detroit L.S.) : He just might be one of this years best kept secrets. Lets face it, he has never been the same since leaving the Rams, But give him the starting job in Arizona, and two of the best WR in the game (Boldin/Fitzgerald), and now add a great running back like Edgerrin James, the OLD Kurt Warner may be back. For those that are going to say that his offensive line sucks, well that has been improved as well. This season, defenses will have to plan for a running game as well as the vertical game, which only makes Warner that much better.

Chris Simms: (Bartow Ford) The starter for Jon Gruden, where almost any qb can excell. If Michael Clayton returns to his rookie form, then Simms might be putting up huge numbers this season. Teams this year will game plan for Cadillac Willams, which might leave the Bucs Receivers wide open. If it is Galloway, it might just be a 70 yard touchdown.

Jake Plummer: (Superdestroyers) , is also a sleeper pick and the Top quarterback according to Superdestroyers. He wanted me to let you all know that. Sorry Superdestroyers it is still a good laugh. But for real Plummer has had two good seasons and should have another one.

NFL NEWS:
As most of us know by now, DUMB ASS Ben Roethlisberger was involved in a motorcycle accident and suffered season ending injuries or at least we were told that, but here is an update that should get SUKMYDITKA all excited.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been upgraded to fair condition and his injuries are not expected to prevent him from playing the season opener against the Dolphins, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His brain scan showed normal functioning and his vital signs are normal, and he may be released from Mercy Hospital this weekend.

Ravens quarterback Steve McNair practiced with his new team on Tuesday and is struggling a bit learning the new offense. "He was thinking a lot," head coach Brian Billick told the Associated Press after practice. "He looked a little like a rookie coming out here. Obviously, he's got a lot to absorb right now." After spending his entire career with the Titans, McNair is finding it hard to erase his memory. "I had a few mishaps out there," he said. "I think I used one of my calls I had last year with the Titans. I told the guys to just be patient with me."

Here is one for BOSTON BEER WORKS, Wide receiver Deion Branch did not participate in the first day of Patriots minicamp on Tuesday because of a contract dispute, the Associated Press reported.

Here is one for Cutthroat Pirates, The Texans had hoped to have running back Domanick Davis back for some of this month's minicamp, but his sore left knee didn't cooperate. "When [Davis] went through a couple of the walk throughs [last week], his knee did swell up on him a little bit," Texans coach Gary Kubiak told the Houston Chronicle. "It's not important right now that he's ready to play today, so we'll be smart with him. We know where Domanick stands."

Here is one for WILL WORK FOR POINTS, Marty Booker had to be carted off the field during the Dolphins final mini-camp practice on Sunday, but X-rays revealed nothing more serious than a sprained ankle, reports the Miami Herald.

Here is one for Bartow Ford, Willis McGahee reported to mini-camp on Monday sporting a new look. "I'm lighter and leaner," McGahee told the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. McGahee made it a goal to lose weight and add muscle because he felt "sluggish" near the end of 2005, while playing at around 240 pounds. "I've got some abs going. It was just something I wanted to do, change the look a little."

Madden Reports added..........

As you all know, I also do a weekly Madden Report during the season. It seems very popular and each week it is requested. I know I talk a lot of shit, and can't spell, but the Madden Report has become a fantasy football tradition. So I have added a link to the Madden reports. You can relive the 2005 season's Madden reports. The link is on the right side, just click on Madden's photo under Madden Reports.

We are getting closer to football season. I will need money from every one in the beginning of June to renew our CBS sports page. For those that can't get into the CBS page. Go to NFL.com, click on fantasy, and then enter you screen name and pass word. CBS has changed some sites and our is one of them. You must goto NFL.com first. Then save it as a link again. If you have any problems call me.

Fantasy Football Issues discussed and changed: As you all know it takes 6 owners to change a rule.

The odd numbers for 2006 of, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 will be in the titanium Division. The even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 will be in the Crimson Division.

Ricky Williams DONE.

(Ricky doing what he does best.)
Dolphins' running back Ricky Williams has lost his appeal and will be suspended by the NFL for the entire 2006 season. Williams has now had four positive drug tests over the course of his professional career.

(He is no long the number 2 back also.)

Ronnie Brown shared the backfield with Williams last season, but when word leaked out his winter that Ricky had tested positive again, Brown's fantasy value began to rise. Now that the appeal has been denied and the suspension is official, Brown's value is surging even more. He will appear among the top 15 running backs on most cheat sheets this summer, even if the Dolphins acquire more running back depth in the draft. As for Ricky, you can stick a fork in whatever lingering value he had, as his playing days might be over even though he'll be eligible to return in 2007.

Crimson and Titanium Divisions are here to stay.

Its official the poll results are in. Six and only six owners voted unanimously to keep the division names of Crimson and Titanium.

I Look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday on 4/29. Remember to bring your covered dish and BYOB.

Happy Easter.

Happy Easter to the owners of the best fantasy football league and to good friends. See you all in a couple of weeks.

Blog Update

I have updated the blog. I created left and right sidebars, and the main section is our articles. On the Left sidebar will be the NFL links, and on the right sidebar will be league and fantasy links. The poll question will be on the left sidebar so that you all can see it.

I am thinking about simplifying the division names from Titanium/Crimson to something like
Black/Red, or Black/Blue, or Black/Purple, or Black/Gold. I can change the color of the Blog to match the division names this way. The new poll will be which colors you guys want as the Division names. If you don't like these colors leave a comment about the colors you might want and I will add it to the poll. If you guys like it the way it is (Titanium/Crimson) then we will keep it.

Thanks from the
Commish.

Poll question Results: New York Knights..

I asked the question, "Will Larry Johnson and Shaun Alexander carry the New York Knights to another Super Bowl Victory in 2006?"

The answers were:

1. Hell NO = 3 votes
2. Hell Yes, way to go Pirates (trading Larry Johnson away) = 3 votes
3. Not if one of them gets hurt = 2 votes
4. Lets just see what happens in the draft = 1 vote

9 votes total, leaving one owner who did not vote.

It seems there is a tie, 3 owners feel they can win the Super Bowl this season, 3 owners (Which, we know one of these votes is New York Knights) so two owners think they are paying to the New York Knights Christmas fund again. Two owners feel that either Alexander or Johnson must get hurt in order for them to win the Super Bowl. So that 5 votes that New York Knights might repeat. One owner is sitting back taking it all in and waiting.

NFL Open Kickoff Game, and 3 Thanksgiving Day Games

NFL Thursday night season kickoff is on Sept. 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET, the Super Bowl XL champion Pittsburgh Steelers will oppose the Miami Dolphins as NBC rejoins the NFL's TV family for the first time since 1997. What a game for fantasy value. This is a real good game to start off the NFL Season and Fantasy Football.

This season the NFL will kick off 3 games for Thanksgiving Day. However the last game of the day at 8pm will only be aired on the NFL Network. Which you can only see on channel 212 from Satellite TV.



The early game that day (CBS, 12:30 p.m. ET) will feature the Dolphins at the Detroit Lions, under new head coach Rod Marinelli. Does anybody read between the writing? (Apparently the NFL thinks the Dolphins are going to be great this year, which I do agree. They have the opening game and a Thanksgiving game.

The second game (FOX, 4:15 p.m. ET) will send the Bucs, the NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Dallas to face the Cowboys.


The Thanksgiving package concludes at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network when the top two teams in the AFC West last year meet. The Denver Broncos (13-3) will visit the Kansas City Chiefs (10-6).

Daddy Mo Bucks is here

We are back in full force this year.
The draft is looking interesting with a lot of movement.
We got to watch out for Dallas.

Big Free Agent Signing.

The Defending NFC Champions signing wide receiver Nate Burleson, who has signed an offer sheet with the Seahawks worth $49 million over seven seasons, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Only $5.25 million of the contract is guaranteed. Burleson looked like an emerging star playing opposite Randy Moss for the Vikings in 2004, but injuries and quarterback issues limited him to 30 catches for 328 yards and one touchdown last season. The Vikings have seven days to match the offer.This is huge news, with Joe Jurevicius going to the Browns, the Seahawks need a good number 2 receiver. So they went and got a number one receiver in Burleson. Burlseon and Darrell Jackson as wide receivers is huge. This could take the Seahawks back to the Big Game. I really don't think the Vikings will match it. We shall see.



The Browns revealed Thursday that tight end Kellen Winslow, Jr. had additional surgery on his reconstructed right knee in January.

"It was just a very minor procedure to clear out some car tissue from his
previous surgery,"

Browns GM Phil Savage told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"The doctors tell me he's doing great and he's at the [team] facility working
out every day."

The sixth overall pick in the 2004 draft, Winslow has spent less time on the field than the Cleveland Browns cheerleaders… which is funny when you realize the Browns don't have cheerleaders. After missing most of his rookie campaign with a broken leg, Winslow missed all of last season due to a motorcycle accident and subsequent knee surgeries—and don't forget the staph infection that caused him to lose 30 pounds while he was recuperating. At this point it's tough to expect Winslow to deliver on the promise that accompanied his lofty draft status. This guy really messed up his NFL status and fantasy value.

League Rule Changes Under Way.

March 26-30 will be the NFL's Annual meeting, which is held in sunny Orlando, Florida.
This years meeting will focus on several important decisions. First of which is who will replace the retiring Paul Tagliabue.

This is also where the competition Committee meets and makes changes if any to the existing NFL League Rules. The committee is comprised of co-chair of the NFL's competition committee Rich McKay, the committee also includes coach Jeff Fisher of Tennessee, the co-chairman; general managers Ozzie Newsome of Baltimore; Bill Polian of Indianapolis; and executives John Mara of the New York Giants and Mark Richardson of Carolina. Coach Marvin Lewis of Cincinnati is a nonvoting member.

Some of the League changes the committee must decide on are:

Offensive coaches and quarterbacks communicate on the field by the use of a radio headset that is in the quarterbacks helmet. Well now the NFL defenses could be wired this season. The competition committee will propose that teams be permitted to install a radio headset into the helmet of one defensive player. The apparatus would be similar to the ones inside the helmets of quarterbacks and would provide coaches an opportunity to communicate with the defense without using hand signals.

NFL defensive coaches have lobbied the league for the past few years to permit headsets for the helmet of at least one defensive player, must likely a linebacker. Those coaches contended that the offense has an unfair advantage because of the quarterback headsets. The competition committee finally agreed that the issue is worthy of consideration. The defensive coaches also claim that using hand signals as they do, gives the opposing offensive coaches an advantage to identify what defense is being called. Take the Buccaneers for example, 5 coaches from the Buccaneers staff are now head coaches or defensive coordinators in this league. When they play the Buccaneers, do you not think that they know what calls Monte Kiffin is calling. A radio headset in the helmet of Derrick Brooks would eliminate the need for visual hand signals.

According to Rich McKay:

The proposal that will be presented to NFL owners next week would permit
each team to designate one defensive player per game to wear a headset. The
defensive player could be from any position, although the assumption is that
most teams would designate a linebacker.

When the designated player is off the field, the headset cannot be
transferred to another defender. And if the player is injured and forced from
the game, the team would lose the use of the headset. "It basically would end
the communication," McKay said.

Well if you watched any football games this past season, you know what a poor job the officials did this year. It seems the League just made excuses and apologies to teams for getting the calls wrong. However, the NFL states that it is satisfied with the overall officiating in the 05 season



Picture is courtesy of www.profootballtalk.com
The NFL has said that it is satisfied with the overall officiating in the 05 season, but did find concern of the errors that affected the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

The NFL will fix a few rules, dealing mostly with player safety, offensive holding and false starts.

According to ESPN's stats, "in 256 games during the past regular season, there were 850 false-start calls. To cut that number, the committee is ready to recommend that minor flinches by wide receivers be ignored if they have no effect on the play." The NFL caters to quarterbacks and now they are starting to cater to wide receivers. Get this, the committee also is considering recommending to officials that they make sure there was holding on a play before throwing a flag. Is this not what they are suppose to be doing in the first place. For the committee to have to restate something that the officials are suppose to be doing in the first place tells me they know there is problems with the way the officiating has been called.

The committee also wants to change the rule on hits by defenders below the knee on quarterbacks, this could be a good call, but once again it protects the quarterbacks. If this call happens the NY Knights OLD Owner could even be a quarterback in the NFL. They are making it easy to be a Quarterback in the NFL.

McKay said

"defensive players will be told they must make an effort to avoid hitting QBs in
the legs to avoid serious injuries, like the hit on Cincinnati's Carson Palmer
against the Steelers in the playoffs. "

The committee would also like to expand the "horse collar tackle rule", where a defensive player can not tackle with his hand inside the shoulder pads of a player running with the ball. As we have seen in the past few years all the knee injuries to running back as they were tackled from behind by their shoulder pads. Well know the league wants to include that to tackles inside the jersey.

Once again up for proposal is to extend the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams. Yep! This was brought to light by the Kansas City Chiefs, after they just missed the playoffs. I don't really care if the NFL goes to 14 teams in the playoffs, it just means more games for us fans to watch.

As with any rules change, the proposal requires a three-quarters vote of the membership or the support of 24 of 32 owners to be approved. So what do you guys think about these possible new rules changes that we might see in the 06 season?
