When It All Comes Down to the Monday Night Game

Sometimes you win early, and sometimes you don’t.  Who doesn’t like going to bed Sunday night knowing their team has it in the bag!  Thursday to Monday can seem like a really long time if your team is behind the entire time.   It seems like forever if an Eliminator Pool pick depends on the …

Game Day Decisions

Several injuries made today’s lineup decisions difficult due to questionable players.  When the player is questionable, not only is it up in the air if he will play or not, but also, if he does play – how much playing time he will have and how well he will perform.  NFL players put their whole heart …

Thursday Night Power

Thursday night football this season has started off with a bang!  The first two Thursday night games have had star running backs whose plays have scored big for fantasy team owners. Week One, C J Anderson had 92 yards rushing, 47 yards receiving and two touchdowns for an amazing first game of the season. This performance …

How We Named Our Fantasy Football Teams

At first thought, it might seem easy to come up with a name for a fantasy football team.  Some people simply use their favorite player or a combination of their own name and favorite number, but others are putting more effort into coming up with a unique or funny team name.

Don’s trophy league has been in existence since the 1988-1989 season and he joined it in …

Survivor Pools

Survivor pools are very easy to play.  All you have to do is pick one winning team each week to stay alive. That is where easy ends and the playing gets tough.  Once you choose a team, you can’t pick them again.  The obvious choices are often the games that turn into upsets, and knock out …

What a Steal!

After Thursday night’s game, Don is hoping that C.J. Anderson is the steal of the draft! He didn’t select him until the 25th pick in his trophy league.  He also drafted him in the Fantasy Football Experience league. The chatter has been that Denver wants to run the ball this year and even drafted a full …

The Trophy

When Don talked about winning a trophy with his hometown fantasy league, I imagined a 10-inch tall, silver trophy, with a marble base.  Every year the winner has had his name engraved on it, beginning with the 88-89 season. The first year Don won The Trophy after we were married was the 2010-2011 season (he previously won …
