I don't like 8 team Leagues. Or in other words, I hate being in 5th place.

So Harv and I each finished with a 9-5 record. I beat him both times this season, yet somehow he's the #1 seed. Yeah he scored more points, but hth apparently means nothing to Yahoo!.
PB, let us know who we will be facing from the Thompson division and the rules and such.
Thompson: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/747559
Wolf: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/382387
Its #1 Wolf Harvey's Wallbangers (Harv) versus #2 Thompson Keshena Eastons (swede)
and #1 Thompson TJWatt Playmakers (Bretsky) versus #3 Wolf Dunderdummy (Cheesehead Craig)
Both Leagues are public, see links in previous post. Your official Yahoo lineup is your RatBow lineup. Yahoo will score and break times.
Next week has the Championship and Consolation Game for the Rat Bowl title.
Playoff teams should be able to make waiver moves. Each Division has an internal playoff going as well, but the bottom four of each Division should be locked out of adding or dropping players.
[DANGET
Stafford, Rodgers, and Goff
About the only thing I know is whatever decision I make it SURELY WILL BE WRONG
As of know, the starting lineups for me vs. swede:
HARV
QB Tom Brady
RB Kareem Hunt
RB Kenyan Drake
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Doug Baldwin
TE Zach Ertz
FLEX Cam Newton
PK Greg Zuerlein
DEF Minnesota
About the only position I could see me switching is benching Brady or Newton for Brees.
SWEDE
QB Alex Smith
RB Alvin Kamara
RB Carlos Hyde
WR Michael Thomas
WR Davante Adams
TE Rob Gronkowski
FLEX Jimmy Garappolo
PK Justin Tucker
DEF Denver
No players on both teams--which is nice.
I really didn't think Aaron was coming back. People were like, sure the collarbone will heal, but his muscles will be atrophied and he can't possibly return until the playoffs. So I dropped him and the team with the highest point total in the league snapped him up.
Dang.

Unofficial lineups, subject to change and Yahoo has the final word.
Final note: Auto correct wants to change Dunderdummy to Wunderdummy. So Siri sides with Dom.
My entire team showed up and grunted it out for the big Thompson Division matchup with Bretsky. Everyone beat their projection so far.
But the glory boy QBs Brady and Wilson are farting around enough to drag the team down to defeat.

It was there for you to take; like the Packers today
I believe I rightfully got my ass kicked. It was a season of fortunate scheduling for me. Not so much this week.

Given the unfortunate situation brought about by embarrassing allegations of kitten-juggling (Someone I trusted said they were cats of sufficient age for juggling), and for not knowing what diddling actually meant when having otherwise respectful conversations with the Packerrats interns, I will be putting my team up for sale after the season is over. I apologize for any shame I have brought to this proud organization.
Edit: Madtown has warned me, for propriety's sake, not to entertain any offers until after the season is over, at which time his cousin 'tino will purchase the team.
I'm down 158-78. And I have 1 guy left to go.
Yep, ass kicking.
Ha ha ha...Dinah Moe Humm!
Bretsky 158.58 wins over 87.24 Dunderdummy (CCraig)
So in the Rat Bowl Finals its Wallbangers versus Bretsky/TJWatt
and Craig/Dunderdummy versus swede/Eastons in the consolation bracket
On a more personal note, the good players of 23TacklingMachine really showed up against the second highest point scorer of the week, TJWatt. But those lazy bastards Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Jason Witten really let their teammates down, directly causing a 142 to 158 loss. Proving that Brett Hundley is a better QB than Brady and probably better than Wilson.
I hope next year all three are playing team handball in Europe.
HARV
QB Cam Newton
RB Kareem Hunt
RB Kenyan Drake
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Doug Baldwin

*I may switch out Brees for Brady yet.
BRETSKY
QB Jared Goff
RB Todd Gurley
RB Mark Ingram
WR Doug Baldwin
WR Adam Thielen
TE Zach Ertz
FLEX Matthew Stafford
PK Chris Boswell
DEF LA Chargers
Damn, Baldwin, Ertz, and Boswell playing for both teams. I have Stafford on my bench. We both also have Josh Gordon and Greg Olsen. :)
Good Luck Harv; I may swap some of these still. Have not looked at em much this week. I figured I"d win last week; I had great matchups.
When I looked a our lineups yesterday I figured my chances this week are not good. You have some great matchups at QB (Newton) and Defense (against our sad GBP) and I don't have any of those matchups that bring a huge smile to you face before the game even starts
Harv with 109/135 score/projection,
Bretsky with 135/160.
Bretsky leading going into Raiders and Eagles game. Its for all the Tostitos!
Congratulations to Bretsky, the Rat Bowl Champion for 2017!!
Bretsky defeated Harvey's Wallbangers 162 to 136 (give or take a fractional point or two-tab crashed before transcription).
Thanks to everyone for playing and taking part and keeping it competitive all season. We had only one down team in Thompson and even they took 3 games off good teams.
We'll see you again next June.
Back to Back; like the NE Patriots ....lol
I think the FB karma gods allow me to win due to my name seleciion.
Last year I was Eliott Wolf when he should be the Packers GM
This year I was TJ Watt Playmakers when he should have been our 1st round draft pick
If I can't come up with a creative name I'll be done.
Congrats, Bretsky! At least, I won the Wolf Division.
Well, I can take heart that I won the regular season division title.
Clearly my total and complete defeat of Bretsky 3 weeks ago provided the motivation his team needed to claim the Championship. I am going to hoist a banner to this effect on Yahoo, just like the Colts.
