Fantasy Football – Week 16

One hundred and one days ago, Tim and I sat at my kitchen table and conceived of the Hokey Pokey Swamp bet. I have paid more attention to this season of fantasy football than any other. For sixteen weeks, Tim dominated the league. The fact that the bet...

Fantasy Football - Week 15

The semi finals are done. When Tim and I first made our bet, I never would have predicted that we'd end up facing off in the championship game. Luke and Jim will be facing off for third place. Dad and Ryan will play for 5th, and Ed and Andy will play...

Fantasy Football - Week 14

What a run into the playoffs! It came down to the very last game. Congrats to Luke and Jim who got third and fourth spots! The rest of you are still in the consolation tourney though, so keep working on your rosters. The Cardinals will host their first...

Fantasy Football - Week 13

There is now just one week left in the regular season for our fantasy league. Jim and Ed are poised to grab the last two playoff spots, but Luke and Ryan have a decent chance to make the playoffs too. Detroit is 0-12 for the second time this decade. Indianapolis...

Fantasy Football - Week 12

Tim and I faced off this week as the rest of the league fought for a playoff spot. Going into Monday night, we were separated by less than a point. But Tim's defense had negative points and Drew Brees was superhuman which gave me the win. It doesn't really...

Fantasy Football - Week 11

The playoff race is heating up. Spots 3 through 8 are separated by a single game so playoff spots 3 and 4 are really up for grabs! Buffalo has lost consecutive Monday night home games in the last two minutes by field goals of 56 yards and 53 yards. Drew...

Fantasy Football Week - 10

Tim broke out with the highest fantasy football score I have seen in my six season fantasy football career. He's also the first person in our league to clinch a playoff berth. It is small consolation that I'm two games ahead in first place with a playoff...

Fantasy Football - Week 9

We are more than halfway to the playoffs and the league is starting to spread out a bit. Remember, only the top 4 teams will be eligible for the two week playoff in weeks 15 and 16. Dad and I both nearly hit 1000 points spot on for the season and we're...

Fantasy Football - Week 8

There is a lot to celebrate in Philly right now. The Phillies could be three innings away from their first World Series since I was born, Brian Westbrook is back in the field in dominate fashion, and Ed ended Tim's reign of terror. Well Tim is still...

Fantasy Football - Week 7

I sat on Tim's couch for Monday Night Football and cheered when Cutler got hurt. Unfortunately he kept playing and ended up winning the game for Tim. That's my roundabout way of saying that Tim is still 7-0. We are clearly outgunned here. He is...

Fantasy Football - Week 6

That pond doesn't look so bad. Really. Wasn't it Lenin who said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth?" Baltimore, Carolina and Oakland combined to score nine points this week. Cleveland won on a Monday for the first time since...

Fantasy Football - Week 5

My feeble run on Monday night wasn't enough to catch Tim. He is now two games ahead of me in the Hokey Pokey Swamp Bet . In the Carolina-Kansas City game, the Panthers' DeAngelo Williams had more yards from scrimmage (148) than the entire Kansas...

Fantasy Football - Week 4

Tim continued his dominance and remains undefeated! The other Scherschel brother, Luke, is now in second place. It's my turn to play Tim next week so I'll see if I can knock him off his perch. At 1:37 p.m. ET on Sept. 28, 2008, the Kansas City...

Fantasy Football - Week 3

Tim stands alone at the top of the league with his perfect record. Who will be the first to knock him down? Dad has the next crack at him. Tim is also the only manager who has not made a roster move. Coincidence? Denver is on a pace to score 608 points...

Fantasy Football - Week 2

Week 2 is over and Tim and I are the only undefeated teams remaining. This bet looks like it may be difficult to win. In 2007, New England scored more points in a season than any team in football history. So far this season, 19 NFL teams have scored more...
