It won't be official until the end of the Monday Night Football game but I will be the new fantasy football champ in my league. I'm unsure how much the victory is worth but likely a few $hundred. More importantly it is the prestige and monkey off my back. I am without a doubt the worst fantasy player in my league. One player, Terry August, quit because I was so bad. Charlie Brown, who will finish dead last this year, the Commissioner of our league never failed to point out how I never made the playoffs and always had a losing team. It is all true. But this year I made the playoffs with a losing record and then won 3-straight times against superior opponents to grab the title.
In our league 8 out of 12 teams make the playoffs. It took me 6-years to finally make the playoffs last year by squeaking in on a tie-breaker. I was then trounced in the post-season. This year I had a slightly better team and finished the regular season in 6th but not before I lost 5 of my last 6-games. I got hot at the right time. I did have Jamaal Charles as my running back which did not hurt.
I remember August once told me that past winners, such as him, had an elite status in our league. I'm pleased to join their membership and equally pleased that he was not there to witness it.
I will be heading to New Orleans in the next short while with a dozen of the boys for a stag and will be taking family friendly photos for the blog. Stay tuned!
