A few weeks ago I introduced everyone to my fantasy football team. Well I would like to take a minute to congratulate myself, as well as my team, for winning our league. It wasn't easy, but the final week 16 scoreboard looked like this:
Amazin' Jets
150
Favre isnt even good
131
Victory is sweet. I would like to congratulate the following members of 2008 team:
Jay Cutler, Matt Cassell, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Hines Ward, Antonio Bryant, Matt Forte, Marion Barber, L'Ron McClain, Kevin Curtis, Willis McGahee, Antwan Randal El, Philly D, and Ryan Longwell. It was a good fight to the finish, and I can now have dinner at Gramercy Tavern and cover some of my vacation expenses with the winnings.
A would now like to announce the 2008 MVP of the Amazin' Jets:
MVP: Matt Forte- as an 8th round pick, and a rookie at that, you averaged 18 fantasy points per game. Easily the most valuable player this year. Congratulations!
Thanks for a great year everyone. Since this is a keeper league, we are going to have some tough decisions to make in the coming weeks. I will make an announcement as soon as rosters have been determined. Have a great offseason.

Playoff Time
Well last week concluded the regular season for my fantasy football league. This was only my second year playing fantasy football and I came in first. Playoffs are three rounds- as the first place team, I have a first round bye. Heading into the playoffs my roster is as follows:
QB Jay Cutler (drafted 10th round)
RB Marion Barber (drafted 1st round)
RB Matt Forte (drafted 7th round)
WR Andre Johnson (acquired via trade, was drafted 2nd round)
WR Randy Moss (acquired via trade, was drafted 1st round)
WR Hines Ward (drafted 5th round)
WR/TE Antonio Bryant (picked up off waivers)
K Mason Crosby (picked up off waivers)
DEF Philly (picked up off waivers)
Midway through the season I traded Peyton Manning and Mushin Muhammed for Andre Johnson and Matt Cassell. I also made a last minute trade with Walt- Andre Johnson for Antonio Gates and next year's 3rd and 6th round picks.
Pretty excited for the playoffs- I have a first round bye so nothing to worry about this week. Winner brings home $900. If I seal the deal, I'm going to Gramercy Tavern. Its also a keeper league. I'm leaning towards Johnson, Forte, and Culter (2nd, 7th, and 10th rounders) but we will see. That would allow me to move Barber/Moss in the off-season to make up for my picks. Should be an exciting finish!
