Updated Blog.

Well this blog is almost complete and I just updated the links. I have added new links on the right side; A link to our CBS Sportsline fantasy football site, NFL/ESPN links, Fantasy football news links,as well as fantasy football gear. I also added a link to everyone of our favorite NFL football teams.

I have invited every owner to login and take part on this blog. I hope you all like this blog, I think this well help us during this off season, and we can keep it going in the regular season as well. Feel free to write articles about anything fantasy football or NFL related. I have started the articles out: go back and check the archives and add your comments about each article if you want. NY Knights and I have started an example under the article “Trade of the Year”. I think this (trade of the year) needs to be add to our running League Records (because I messed this trade up).

Anyway I hope you all like this, and will share sometime on here. As NY Knights has said “this is a great way to keep us all into fantasy football mood until the draft.”

Take Care and until next season…….. Dead men tell no tales.

Trade of the Year.

Sometimes we as owners make a trade that looks good at that point in time. However, later it is a trade that comes back and bites us in the ass.

On 10/25/2005, Cutthroat Pirates owner received a phone call from New York Knights owner. Knights were in trouble and they needed a running back. Their star Shaun Alexander was on a bye and the Knights feared that a loss could really set them back so they sought out a trade. The Pirates needed a wide receiver, Terrell Ownes was out for the year with his suspension, Michael Clayton had the solphmore slumps, and Joe Horn was hurt. The Pirates starting running backs were Cadillac Williams and Warrick Dunn, and some times Domanick Davis. The Pirates had Larry Johnson on his bench, who was not cracking the starting line-up due to the fact Johnson was sharing time with Priest Holmes.



The New York Knights offered the Cutthroat Pirates basically Chris Chambers, WR, for the Miami Dolphins in a trade for Larry Johnson, RB, for the Kansas City Chiefs. The trade also include just to keep the teams line-up legal Chris Brown, RB, for the Tennessee Titans to the Pirates and Joe Horn, WR, for the New Orleans Saints to the Knights. The thought was that Larry Johnson was averaging a touchdown per game and the Knights only need 6 points out of him. Boy what the Knights did not know until after that trade.




What the Pirates did not know was in two weeks, Priest Holmes season would be over and Larry Johnson would become a fantasy football running back stud (A Keeper). This just sucks. Sometimes we make choices that look good on paper, but they have a way of haunting us later in the season. You see New York Knights won this years Super Bowl with the likes of Shaun Alexander and Larry Johnson. With this stud backfield, he could win the Super Bowl Title again next year.


Before 10/24/2005, Larry Johnson had a total of = 51 fantasy points
after the 10/24/2005 trade his points went to =278 (Ouch what a f'd up trade). Can you say I goofed.



Chris Chambers before the 10/24/2005 trade=39 fantasy points
after the 10/24/2005 trade his points were=140 points (at least he was a good WR for me).

Oh well what do you do. The trade is done, and the Knights have the best backfield in fantasy football.

Fantasy News and Questions:

The 2006 fantasy football season is upon us. Our next big decision is who is going to be our keepers and are we going to keep a franchise player? This is where our research for next season starts, with coaching changes, (how will this effect our fantasy players) free agency opens up March 3, 2006 (how does this effect our fantasy players). Questions like where will T.O. Owners play next year. Injuries are another part of the equation. Will Carson Palmer be able to return as the starter, or will he even be able to play football again. Will Duece McAllister return as the fantasy stud he has been for over 3 years. These questions and more we need to know as fantasy football owners.

Carson Palmer 's knee injury was "devastating and potentially career-ending," involving numerous ligament tears, a shredded ligament, damaged cartilage and a dislocated kneecap, his surgeon said. Will Detroit Latin Stars keep Carson Palmer? Palmer made the Pro Bowl in only his second season as a starter, throwing an NFL-leading 32 touchdown passes. The club extended his contract through the 2014 season. This year Palmer emerged as a top tier Fantasy Football Quarterback. The question is now will he be able to return as a keeper. With Kitna deciding to seek the open market, and the huge contract that the Bengals gave Palmer, I think he has something to prove and will return by Cincinnati training camp. If I had him, I would take a chance and keep him, unless the rumors of Chad Johnson are true and he did swing on Coach Lewis. If this is true Johnson’s days might be numbered in Cincinnati.



I have mixed emotions on this topic. It seems as of late T.O. is back in the news since the Eagles gave Drew Rosenhaus permission to trade T.O. The other part of the story that is making headlines is that T.O. wants to go to the Buccaneers. Now it is really no surprise that Coach Jon Gruden wants T.O. he sees the playmaking ability that this guy possess. T.O. is one of the best wide receivers in the game, but he is a head case. Keyshawn Johnson was not even this much of a head case. But since we are talking about fantasy football and I own T.O., who helped the Cutthroat Pirates jump out to a fanominal start, do I keep him? Will a team pick him up and will it be the Buccaneers as some have predicted. I think this guy is one of if not the best WR in the game, specially from a fantasy football stand point. But will he go to his new team and learn to play the game and not his mouth? No matter what or where he goes rest a sure that some Coach wants this guys playmaking ability. This league is not called Playmakers for just any reason.




Where will Ricky Williams play next season? Will he be in a Dolphins uniform? I was just recently told by a blogger friend http://myopiniononsports.blogspot.com/ (dolphin fan) That he heard the Williams might go to the Houston Texans for David Carr. This is huge for both teams. Williams is a great back and before he left the NFL, he was the top fantasy football running back with his 1,853 rushing yarsd. Williams roots are from Texas with him playing college ball for the Texas. Maybe this would help the Texans sale out their home games. The question would be is David Carr worth Ricky Williams? Williams is the real deal and Carr well lets just say the jury is still out. Carr is said to be a great QB, but he needs a better line and better receivers, which Miami has. Carr just might become a fantasy QB if he was throwing to Chris Chambers, Marty Booker and Randy McMichael. The other rumor I just heard is that Ricky might be on his way to the Broncos. I am not sure what the Dolphins would get in return. I do think Ricky’s days are numbered in Miami with them drafting Ronnie Brown, but only time will tell. Will Work for Points will have to monitor this situation closely and see where he goes. If Ricky was to be a starting running back again in the NFL specially in Denver he would be a keeper.

N.Y. Knights is the King of Playmakers FFL.

The 1st Season of Playmakers Fantasy Football is over. As you can see from my photo, the New York Knights are standing tall. After all the terror they endured this year from the Terror Squad, who has been beaten out of this league once and for all, the Knights are alone at the top.

Congratulation N.Y. Knights on your Super Bowl win. You represented this League with honor and great sportsmanship.

Cutthroat admits he was wrong and you are the number one team in this League and not the third best, (That would be me, lol).

The Toilet Bowl was also played and Gang Green is the loser. Gang Green will be taken drink orders for the 2006 draft. The

Titanium Division lost the Pro Bowl due to the likes of Shaun Alexander and Larry Johnson. Cuttthroat Pirates, SUKMYDITKA, DMB, Bartow Ford, and Superdestroyers will be buying the Pizza for the 2006 Fantasy Draft.

N.Y. Knights is king of the Playmakers…… Congrats again bro. See you all at my annual NFL DRAFT PARTY. ALL ten owners are invited. (Its for you guys anyway).

Ladies and Gentalmen, Our First Owner quits.

Well it seems that the Terror Squad could not handle a tough season. Perhaps it was the fear of having to give Boston Beer Works a TOSSED SALAD at next years draft, if the Patriots repeat.

Perhaps it was fear that GOD would get even with him for all the terrorist comments he made to the New York Knights and Gang Green.

Whatever the reason Terror Squad is gone, but never fear a new owner has stepped up to the plate and bought this team. The name Terror Squad and its logo is the first team to be retired from the Playmakers Fantasy Football League. The League would like to welcome our new team: Will Work for Points.
I am not sure if this is the logo he wants, but I thought it was fitting.



Welcome aboard WWfP. He will make a great owner in our League and his NFL Team is the Miami Dolphins.

Playmakers Fantasy Football League:

Welcome to Playmakers Fantasy Football League. This league was started by two experienced fantasy football players with approximately 10 years of combined experience. Cutthroat Pirates and New York Knights were the creators of this league.

What is fantasy football?

A game played by football fans in which participants draft their own team and compete with teams built by others. Scoring systems vary among fantasy football leagues, but most are based on points accumulated by players based on their real-life performance in a game on the same day.

Fantasy Football is a game played by Football fans where one assembles a team of real life NFL players and then accumulates points based on their statistical performance on the field. Leagues can be arranged where the winner is the team with the most total points at the end of the season or by a head to head format (which mirrors the actual NFL) where teams play against each other each week and at the end of the year the team with the best win-loss records wins the league. ...

Playmakers Fantasy Football League is broken into two Divisions. The Crimson Divsion and the Titanium Division. I am a huge Buccaneers fan so this is why I choose these colors, I should have picked Red and Pewter, but I was trying to be unique, and still keep it close to the Buccaneers.

There are 5 teams and 5 owners per Division. Each Division plays every team in there Division twice and they play every team outside their division once. The season is 13 weeks long and runs according with the 13 weeks of the NFL regular season. Week 14 is our Wild Card Playoff games and Week 15 is the Divisional Playoff Championship game. Week 16 is our Super Bowl, Toilet Bowl and the Pro-Bowl game. The top three teams per division advance to the Playoffs with the Best Team in the Division getting a first round bye. The Super Bowl is of course the game of the two best teams per Division fighting it out to be the Super Bowl Champ (pay out is $400. The Toilet Bowl is the worst two teams in the league battling it out (loser bring the beer to next years draft). The Pro-Bowl is where the Crimson and Titanium Divisions form a team each with players from their division, the only rule is one player per team must be represented. These two Divisions battle it out. (The Losing Division brings the buys the Pizza at next years draft).

This is a blog created for my nine good friends and our fantasy football league. Any one reading this blog feel free to comment on the articles.
