Good evening FFBMCO owners. Football has returned and we’re all off and running after week 1. The Cleveland Browns kept their season opener suck streak unblemished. It’s astounding that so many seemingly intelligent people chalked the Browns up to start 3-0 out of the gate. I hope some of my dear friends get out of the matrix and join the dreary real world this season.
Some interesting things have already come out of the first week: Our two league champions had the two lowest scores in the league, Conneaut Joe & The Golden Boy Farm has fully embraced the target on his back by already throwing out two references to himself/his team in Donald Trump and the Big 3 Era Miami Heat (last year was his Miami 2010-11 season, this year is his 2011-12 season says Joe), and the league office kind of shot itself in the foot with the September “most points by a drafted player” game because that’s going to be sucky as hell to check. Because of that, there will be no updates on who the current point holder is, just a winner announcement at the end of the month so we only have to do the sucky research and verification task once instead of multiple times.
Don’t forget about the Comeback Player of the Year award. Just as a reminder, this is determined by the biggest drop in draft positions from the previous year to the current year (with the tiebreaker being total season points). The winner gets to submit an order of 12 seasonal beers or 24 non alcoholic dranks. Obviously the front runners to win this are teams who finished with a top 5 draft pick last year. Of those 5, the west coast’s Best in the World and Pittsburgh’s own The Replacements won their week 1 matchups so this will be something to monitor as the season progresses.
Now on to the first set of Tight/Beat.
Tight! Big Matty M’s King of Cleveland squad dropped the highest weekly point total of 143.14 over Chuck Deal. Julio Jones and co have something to say about The Golden Boys’ path to the Red Route 88 division crown.
Tight! As of Saturday 09/05/15, FFBMCO was paid in full. Though we had a couple problem children in reaching the intial goal of having everyone paid by draft night, the secret consolation goal of having the entire league paid before the NFL season kicked off was met. Somewhere John Taffer just did a little smirk.
Beat! As mentioned before, our two league champs Brick Tamland and Default Team Named started off their seasons with whatever the opposite of a bang is. 2013 champ Brick Tamland dropped the weekly low of 68.40 points with last years’ champ Default Team Name right next to him at 68.42 points.
Beat! There are still a handful of players that don’t have Yahoo avatars for their squads. This is so beaty, have some respect for your team and for yourself. Why wouldn’t you want to be creative and make your teams’ logo?
Beat! FunkyEngineThatCould’s owner Brian LL talked so much shit about a full 2015 Cleveland Browns boycott only to have just purchased tickets for the home opener after last weeks’ debacle. A big blow to his self esteem, credibility, and integrity. If anyone will be in the muni lot Sunday holla atchaboy. Nick Fischer, the Leonard Washingtons owner, will be present as well.
