Does the lingerie league still exist,
How in the wide world of sports is this not the most popular spectator sport on the planet? Do the players earn fantasy points for a wardrobe malfunction?
Well, the fat lady hasn't sang yet, but it looks like she's practicing Hueristic's and South Park's tune. Good job to the underdogs so far this weekend, even if you lose by some miracle you put up great fight.

Heuristic can't lose, maybe should bench Allen just to make sure he doesn't get 300 negative yards I don't think I have any chance either... Even if Ekeler is completely out for some reason, I'd need Herbert to put up 32 points, which he has never done this season. Ok, technically he got 31.76 once and that would be barely enough for me tonight but again, there is no indication that Ekeler wouldn't play.

Maybe we should do an XFL League?
Does the lingerie league still exist, i think I’d be much more interested in playing fantasy football for it than the XFL. I find it amusing that those that harp on the XFL have actually never watched it. Is there some NFL gaslighting campaign going on where only the NFL plays football? I personally think the XFL players as a whole show more toughness and heart then the PRIMA DONNA's making millions in the NFL. Well, the fat lady hasn't sang yet, but it looks like she's practicing Hueristic's and South Park's tune. Good job to the underdogs so far this weekend, even if you lose by some miracle you put up great fight.
H euristic can't lose, maybe should bench Allen just to make sure he doesn't get 300 negative yards I did that last week on one team just in case. Lol I have a bad feeling about next week, I had a trepidation the Dark horse would win this year.

This was a great year, all the teams were so close most the matches nail biters. Playing the wire really made a difference as far as my team went, injuries were brutal all season long. BTW @Wheels I noticed your team really came together last few weeks, too bad it took them so long, I would not want to be facing them at this point.

I'm pretty sure that the NFL won't allow any contracted player to participate in the XFL, so yeah, kind of, in a way. I'm not sure if that extends to the practice squad, but I don't blame the NFL for being selfish in this case. They're player contracts specifically prohibit any off-season activity that could result in injures. They don't even like their players riding real bicycles, only stationary ones. So it's more than just the fact that it's a competing league, it's protecting their investments. As for blacklisting of TV ads or anything like that, I haven't noticed. I personally think the XFL players as a whole show more toughness and heart then the PRIMA DONNA's making millions in the NFL.
It would be difficult for me to play a XFL fantasy team mainly because I would be unfamiliar with many of the players. As for the quality of the league, it will come down to the individual athlete's abilities and in the past I haven't seen the same level of athleticism in the sub-leagues. The hunger is there, and that does go a long way. If the USFL or the XFL can speed up the pace of the game, and have fewer commercials I'm sure they could be successful.

I think there is a league variation where you draft every week, that would be cool as we could all learn the players at the same time and redraft every week. Its a league that the best players get nfl contracts so there really isnt a reason to learn their names except for those that raise to the top and then your ahead for the next nfl fantasy years draft. I assume you are also lost in the casino this week, without knowing the link for the league and cannot remember your password also?
I put in a waiver for Purdy before I left and noticed in my room that I didnt have the link or password for the league to even see if I got him off waivers. I got home about an hour before thursdays game and made the fortunately not fatal mistake of putting in Bam because of the weather figuring it would be run heavy, apparently I'm an idiot. Because Bam only netted me 2 points and it was looking bad I decided to make a gamble and hunted down a higher upside defense and QB and apparently I scored the best ones on both, Guess I'm a genius. This game can drive you crazy..

Good job to the underdogs so far this weekend, even if you lose by some miracle you put up great fight. Great question! If not they absolutely need to change this. True that. @hueristc- I’ve seen every type of football league, Canadian (which is the most legitimate of them all, or at least used to be) followed by XFL type leagues then arena. I said I haven’t seen this XFL league, nor has anyone else (correct me if I’m wrong but it’s been shut down for a few years ). There’s been quite a few of these XFL/whatever else they’ve been called leagues.. They start up, fail pretty quickly, try it again with some changes, repeat. I’ve never been interested in any of them, hence why i can’t see myself enjoying this new one coming either. i try to get in to college here and there but same deal. Just an NFL obsessed fan. These other leagues may be filled w/a bunch of guys working their assess off but the talent level is bad. The likelihood any of them see the NFL ever (or again) is extremely low. Just not for me.

While I am glad to make it to the final, suchmoon simply got unlucky during our match since their players simply failed to perform at the worst possible time.
And about the game against the Barbarians it seems it is going to be a close game, however I will give Barbarians an edge as the Q/Cows players are facing a more difficult weather and schedule, however the Q/Cows have some hope as it seems Fields is playing against one of the weakest defenses against QBs this season, so if Fields could give another monster performance then beating the Barbarians could become possible.

After the start of this season and Yahoo predicting I'd come in last place I'm pretty happy just to be in the final! GL Southpark, you built a great team and if Fields plays and Hurts doesn't I'm a dead man!

GL Southpark, you built a great team and if Fields plays and Hurts doesn't I'm a dead man! The truth is getting a good score on Yahoo most often means you had a bad draft. They only run these scores using a single criteria and that's simply if you chose the next highest ranking player via their rankings. Anytime I get a good score (have never gotten an A) I normally don't have a great team. My best teams are when I get a bad grade. Was a rough season for me, and the sad thing my team is pretty damn good. My running backs killed me. Not having the ability to draft a high end RB is such a major disadvantage. Congrats to you both.

Congratulations to both of our finalists! I will not pretend that I am not disappointed. I thought the finals was already a certainty for me. I overestimated my team and I also thought they would give me the same level of performances to the end of the regular season. I also stopped reading the news and other updates on the players. I also stopped checking the waiver wire until it was too late. I wish next season was tomorrow already hehehehehe.

For some reason we all still have a game this week?? My ESPN league has concluded, finished 8-6, 5th place out of 10. A pretty mediocre season for me this year. Teams with the two best records, Jerkers and Coiners, play for the most consolation. Congrats to South Park and Hueristic for some well-deserved championship matchup spots.

Cows the champions, Barbarians, Jerkers, Coiners. IIRC that's how I ended last year too, had a good run but unable to win games in the post season.

Yep congrats to the 2 finals spots it's been a fun season! My season didn't start out how I wanted but that's fantasy football. On paper your squad looks good and then the season starts and starts to crumble in on you lol. Good luck to the 2 of you amd may the best te win!

You did well, this is just your second year playing FF and you put together a very good team, during the regular season a consistent output for your starters is key and it showed on your record, but when it comes to the playoffs a single bad game by a few of your players can be enough to get you eliminated. And about the next season, I will admit that I would use a break, after the Q/Cows lost against the Barbarians on week 7 the Q/Cows went 2-5, at that time I guessed the bare minimum to make it to the playoffs was a 9-6 or an 8-7 record, so the Q/Cows were left with a very small margin of error, and since then I have been playing each match as if the Q/Cows were at the playoffs already. And just to show you that luck does indeed play a factor, today I checked my team and saw Ekeler, Conner and Sanders all being questionable, and while it seems they will be able to play this shows how quickly things can change for a team, and while last year the injuries were a nightmare to the point 2 IR spots was my most desired feature on this league, this year I have been lucky when it comes to injuries. Now if those players fail to recover I would have no other choice but to use my secret weapon:

Yeah as other have said they allow teams to keep playing so that theres then a final ranking at the end of playoffs/championship game. Unfortunately I will remain in dead last place since 9th and 10th don't get to play in the playoffs at all. For some reason we all still have a game this week??

Well there problem for you was having that issue where the draft wasnt starting properly and then your screen didn't update or whatever when the draft actually did start running live. But yeah, I thought I had a really good squad in this league, which I kinda did, but the lack of a top tier RB and TE really killed me.

Another crazy week of fantasy football. I was not in any championship games today but did playin a 3rd place and a 5th place game so I paid slight attention to fantasy stuff going on and what a wild week. I feel like I can't remember this many players being hurt or under performing when it comes down to semi-finals and championship week games.
Fantasy aside- It's looking like the Chicago Bears will either have the #2 pick or quite possibly even the #3 pick in this coming NFL draft. Already having a QB, it's exciting to think of the prospects of what they could either land that high or perhaps trade a few picks back for to load up on some extra picks and a super high end player. One exciting thing when you're team sucks as bad as the bears do lol.

192 points WTF bbc.reporter must have really wanted that 3rd place Welp, I'm fucked.
Unless Freiermuth gets like 3 touchdowns today, you might still have a good chance in the Bengals game tomorrow. Higgins and Mixon and maybe 40-ish points to make up vs McPherson.
