Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due !!!!

TradeStar28 · Post by **TradeStar28** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 11:46 am

In the history of sports, the second place team is an oversight of the glory and recognition that the Champion receives. In the Olympics, no one cares about who got the Silver Medal. The saying is "GO FOR THE GOLD". Even in music, people want Van Halen to reform with David Lee Roth, because he was the first and the best front man of that group. Who cares about Sammy Hagar ?

With that being said, it was a great accomplishment for ...FI$HER... to draft a team that we felt would be competitive in a 10 team league let alone the 14 team NFFC leagues. So I felt it would be only fitting to give recognition to a few of the websites and fantasy football services that helped us along the way. They deserve credit and we appreciate them greatly in helping us achieve 2nd OVERALL out of 322 total teams and total winnings of $17,600 in NFFC alone!!!

FantasyGuru.com (www.fantasyguru.com) John Hansen is truly a Guru and his subscription based website is worth every penny to the competitive fantasy football player. From weekly pass targets, red zone looks, up to the minute player injury reports, weekly rankings and his staffs complete understanding on how to present quality content, I would say that this website is a must have for any one who is looking to succeed in the NFFC or any other high stakes event or even your home league. One example of how tremendous this website is - this past Sunday (week 16), we had B. Edwards in the Flex and just by reading the Quick Sunday updates (posted @ 12:38pm) that he was being benched to start the game, we immediately switched to W. McGahee. That move alone was worth + $7500 because we finished 2nd overall instead of 3rd place (15k over 7500). Thanx Mr. Hansen !

The FootBall Scientist . com (www.thefootballscientist.com) I mentioned after our success in 2005, winning our division and having most points about one up and coming website that is a must have for any fantasy baller. KC Joyner, who works with ESPN, is one of the sharpest minds out there today. Wouldn't it be great to have someone watch every single play of each and every game>? Well, that is KC's specialty. He analyzes each player and their weekly matchups to give them a positive GPA or negative GPA depending the situation. Furthermore, his pre-draft information and guides are very in-depth and will satisfy your desire to know as much as you can possible know about each particular player and their outlooks for the season.

Once again, thanx to these 2 websites, I highly recommend for everyone to check them out !

Fisher pimping websites that allegedly gave him an advantage over others??? Something doesn't sound right here

Fisher,

Websites aside your performance this season should be applauded and admired. I am still seething over how my team finished and how I finished in the least desired top 8 spot...lol But I can still sit back and give you a bravo for a nice season... congratulations...

Wren - how in the world did you have sjax and drew and not win the 100K? The rest of your team musta sucked bigtime in the playoffs.

Gekko,

I hope you and I are headed toward pleasant exchanges here... If you took the time to look at my team (and I am not saying you should, as I am figuring you have better things to do) I think you would see I had an EPIC unlucky postseason.

On "paper" (and fantasy sport is all about accuring talent on paper) this team was very strong.

Please allow me to vent/whine...

-I had the number one QB in the league score me 9 and 12 points the last two weeks.

-My 3 top WR's were all top 5 scorers a few weeks ago and finished horrible with great matchups everywhere. Yet Boldin and Johnson averaged under 10 points for the postseason.

-My kicker, maybe having the best season of any kicker in the league, got very few FG opportunities.

-I had about 4 TDS overturned by replays in the playoffs.

I could go on and on.. just hit some very bad luck at the worst time.

How about having Bulger throw 4TDs and not a single one to Tory Holt?

Lee,

Crazy stuff happens in fantasy football when you look at specific weeks and games. How about Bulgers offense exploding against the exact same Redskins defense that shut down my Brees-Colston connection the week before?
