So, I’m watching the Jets-Fins game on MNF. The final game of Week 16. Week 16, otherwise known as “Championship Week” in most fantasy football leagues. I’m in the championship game in one league, and starting this game, I’m leading by roughly 10 points, 150-140 (and some odd decimals on each side). My opponent, after having T.O. largely soil the bed (despite a TD) in the Eagles-Cowboys game, has only Jason Taylor remaining. If the Jets - and effectively, stud rookie left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson - can fend off all-pro right end Taylor just enough, I’ll take home my 2nd title in this league (3rd FFL title overall, and 4th fantasy sports championship [i have one in b'ball]). I don’t think I’ve ever pinned my hopes on ONE guy, in ONE game, this singularly. In any event, C’MON BRICK!!
Argh. JT just got a sack. 2 points. With one tackle, he’s got 3. Hang on, baby! Hang on!!!
Ed update: It’s halftime, and JT still has 3 points. I’m still up 7+. JT’s average is about 8 fpts/game.

I’m watching the same game, and it has none of the same FFL outcomes for me. Good luck!
What I am trying to figure out is who is Cleo Lemon?

I’m not sure, but I think he goes well in tea…
Anyhow, with 99% of the precincts reporting, things are looking good for me. Taylor unofficially ended with 5 points (3 tackles, 1 sack), and so - presuming everything else holds up after the recount - I’ll hang on by about 5 points. I’m not declaring victory just yet, but… Gimme mah title, biatch!

And in more important news, the Jets are poised for a return to the post-season.

Jetswho?? Game outcomes are not important, my prehistorically-focused and misguided friend. Only individual achievements matter in this 21st century world.
Congrats, Friess. Also, you can take some (significant, IMO) amount of credit for drafting the team of SimP-friend Chris R. and helping him to his first FANDO FFL title - the FFL in which a large (70%) majority of SimP authors participate.
Methinks we need a SimP-only NFL FFL for next year. Maybe even a SimP MLB FFL. 10 authors (currently), 10-team league. Thoughts?
