Been a LONG time since I last posted - let's see how I finished in leagues gone by and where I am now in current leagues.
In basketball, I won the whole friggen league! James Harden and LeBron James were clutch late, and I beat my Dad for the championship. that was cool.
In hockey, I fell out in the quarterfinals. I traded too much good stuff away and then oof...sad ending.
In football, things went okay. I lost in the quarterfinals in Worst Team Ever, lost in the semifinals in show us your TDs, and then won the championship in The Toby Bowl. It's my first time winning that in 3 years, so I was pretty excited.
As for current sports, in baseball I am currently tied for first in my division at 4-2. Probably soon to be 4-3, as I took a sort of stars and scrubs approach and traded away too many helpful pieces early. But I will come back.
Hopefully this week I'll be back to talk more baseball!

Tuesday Late Afternoon Quarterback: Recapping my Fantasy Week
I had four active leagues this week, my three football and one hockey (technically my baseball keeper is active, but I wasn't able to talk trades at all. Overall I went 4-0 this week, and here's a brief breakdown of what went down:
The Toby Bowl: Faced a former blogging buddy, and whooped him 91-66. Chris Ivory continued to lead me with 25 strong points, while Tom Brady (22) and Gio Bernard (13) chipped in as well.
Despite my 91 score, I actually made a lot of bad moves this week. Cairo Santos (5) was an awful plug 'n play, Antonio Brown (2) continued to look awful with Roethlisberger out, and I left Alshon Jeffrey (20), Keenan Allen (15), and Sammy Watkins (10) on my bench.
Show us your tds: Easy win, came out ahead 91.52 to 67.94. Andy Dalton beat his projection, Brandon McManus went for over 14 points, and Gary Barnidge (who I added this week) scored 2 touchdowns. I had Jeffrey on my bench here too, but the guy I was facing had Santos and Brown plus a lot of scrubs which gave me an easy win.
Worst Team Ever: GOTTA LOVE BYES! A week after Doug Martin essentially lost me a game by himself, the Bucs were on bye and I paced the league with -4 points (all from Andre Ellington). I faced the worst team in the league, who scored -47 points due to Tom Brady, Matt Forte, and James Jones. The win brings me to .500, which is nice!
Free Candy: Last but not least, the hockey league. Week one I won 8 categories and lost 3, and my 8-3-0 record puts me 2nd in the league. Ryan Miller has started tremendously at me for goalie, and I'll need him to keep it up if I have any hope this year. My offense was all Steven Stamkos and Ryan Johansen, though Jonathan Drouin and Ryan Getlaf threw in some good work too.

Introducing a League: show us your tds
This is a Blowout League that I was talked into joining last minute. It sucked early - the draft was done without any of us knowing and the commissioner just said whatever. But my waiver wire ways are helping me do well anyways...
Years active: 1 (with a great chance that this will be a one and done)
League Type: Yahoo, Snake, Redraft, with 10 Teams
Divisions: 1 big one
Playoffs: Top 4 teams
Scoring: Head to Head Points
Positions: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex, D/ST, K, 8 Bench
Depth of the League: Fairly Poor - A lot of guys have been semi-active to inactive because of the draft. As a result, I've been able to add Andy Dalton, DeAngelo Williams (when that was a good thing), Chris Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Brandon McManus, and Gary Barnidge. That shouldn't happen in a football league.
How have I done: First year, but so far so good
After the draft fiasco, considering I don't know anyone in the league for real, I was tempted to phone it in. But I stayed active for week one, and 2-3 other guys did too, and now there's like 5-6 of us vying for the throne. It's not a deep league, but it is fun to be on top, and so far I'm 4-1. Additionally, the guys who are active in this league are a lot better than most of my favored Toby Bowl league - so the competition is good even if the league isn't.
