Win by the Brady, Die by the Brady
I guess the biggest miracle this year is that nobody who had Tom Brady won their respective leagues. While Tom Brady was able to give millions of fantasy football owners hope, he stole that hope away at the very end by playing like crap in week 15, a critical playoff week. Further, even though Emily made it through to the final round, Tom Brady was not enough to get her the win that she so desired in the JV league. Tom Brady single handedly failed on all accounts.
This event brings validity to the thesis of this site: Tom Brady is an idiot.
As you can see by the graph above, Tom Brady’s fame has declined precipitously over the last couple of weeks, as more people find out that he is an idiot. The immediate decline of his fame and his performance followed the his idiotic statement: “I would have gotten the first down if I hadn’t heard the whistle,” which was probably the single most stupid thing ever uttered by a human being and we are all dumber for having now listened to it.
Final Standings – BTW World Champion
Below are my final standings in this years 4 fantasy football leagues:
-
1800EatCrap: Number 1 of 8
-
Junior Varsity: Number 4 of 8
-
Consolation: Number 1 of 6
-
Four Gay People: Number 1 of 4 (*expected, based on a 121 point lead going into the final week)
This makes 3 number ones this year alone. Yes, it may be luck, but I got it, and Tom Brady didn’t. Also, this brings my two year record to 4 and 1–4 championships out of 5 leagues. For this reason, I will continue to be known as BTW World Champion for another year.
I would also like to pay respects to a few players that I actually have respect for, as follows:
-
Joe – Great season, way to turn in a great final performance getting a silver medal in the only league that mattered (i.e. had a cash prize and real trophies.)
-
Michelle – Finally got her coveted title in the JV league, and got a top 3 place in every league she played in. Great job.
-
Emily – Great turnaround season from last year, most improved player award from me, getting silver medal in JV.
-
Greg – Showing another very solid FF performance and beating me out of a trophy in the JV league
-
Sarra – Gets rookie of the year award for getting to the finals in the Consolation league, and coming away with the Silver in her debut season.
-
Richelle – Runner up rookie of the year. Great performance in debut season.
-
Dan – Comeback of the year award (assuming you hold on to the silver position in the Gay League, coming back from over 200 points behind Stephen)
-
Steve – This wasn’t your year… Sorry
-
Sam – YOU SUCK!!!
And now for my final words of this fantasy football season: Suck it, Brady!
Out!
I agree that this season has proved Tom Brady to not be a savior unto himself. Fantasy football has always been a game dominated by luck as your entire season has proved.
The greater discovery this season was that 8 team playoffs are inconsistent with the true spirit of football. Dan took a gamble with Brady and Moss and I agree that he should have gotten more, even though in a 4 playoff system he still would have lost. Now that Dan has seen the light, I can assure you that next year’s playoffs will be reflective of regular season performance. No 5th or 7th seed will be in the championship game next year. Time to start working now on updating your strategy…
By the way, I ended the season with the most moves in the league. Sam ended the season with the fewest – a direct correlation to his standing at the end.
ok, i love the graph… i am just no good at fantasy football… but now that i have tasted 2nd place, i think i want more, so i will see you next year, draft time.
