These where the standings going into week 14 (the final week of the fantasy regular season) in the Comcast league
Yours truly, St. Patrick's Day, was on the outside looking in.
Top 4 teams make the playoffs.
- Boats-N-Hoes 9 wins 4 loses 1408.20 points
- Master Teacher 8 wins 5 loses 1462.90 points
- Junk Yard Dog 8 wins 5 loses 1448.60 points
- The Donation 8 wins 5 loses 1323.00 points
- St. Patrick's Day 8 wins 5 loses 1261.30 points
7. TV Jimmy 7 wins 6 loses
8. Pack Attack 6 wins 7 loses
9. Crazyer 3 wins 10 loses
10. Team Punishment 1 wins 12 loses
As you can see it was a very, VERY close race. 5 teams battling it out for 4 playoff spots.
Final match ups of for week 14:
#1 Boats-N-Hoes vs. #6 Lionized
#2 Master Teacher vs. #3 Junk Yard Dog
#4 The Donation vs. #9 Crazyer
#5 St. Patrick's Day vs. #10 Team Punishment
Based on the Schedule the number one seed Boats-N-Hoes had actually clinched the first playoff spot (courtesy of Aaron Rodgers and Rob Gronkowski) having 9 wins and with one of the teams behind him GUARANTEED to lose.
Thats right if you are reading the above playoff scenario correctly:
There are four teams left with 8 wins battling it out for the final three playoffs spots.
The #2 team Master Teacher is playing the #3 team Junkyard Dog.
The TOP TWO point scorers in the ENTIRE league, one is guaranteed to lose, and one is in danger of not even MAKING the playoffs.
That is because The Donation and St. Patrick's Day are playing the bottom two teams in the entire league and it is simple.
If both teams win and finish with 9 wins, they are both in.
So, I find myself in the perfect position. The PERFECT match up right?
I am playing the worse team in the league (record wise.) The team that only has ONE win to date.
Team Punishment was having such a horrible season he didn't get his first (and only) win until WEEK 10 against the Pack Attack.
Now this is where you have to give this fantasy owner a lot, and I mean A LOT of credit. We have all been in leagues before where people end up quitting. Fantasy owners get so frustrated by a bad draft or a couple of bad loses and it leads them to stop updating their teams. This ends up throwing off the competitive balance of the entire league and ruins the integrity of the fantasy games. It also creates A LOT of headaches when money is still on the line. Now think how frustrated you would be starting out the season on a NINE GAME LOSING STREAK?
Here is an actual post by this fantasy owner for Team Punishment:
BOBBY (Team Punishment)Nov 8 10:53 am
No excuses, but I do have a few
points to why this is my worst Fantasy team/record ever.
1. I have the league for high points
scored against me.
2. I have suffered greatly due to
injuries such as....Britt, Vick (reason for losing to Locke), McFadden, Gore
(before my dumb trade).
3. Gave up on Gore before he got his
shit together and traded him.
4. Mike Williams was a huge bust!
With that said, I am going to
Destroy many playoff hopes moving forward. Its all about pride now.
And as the Commissioner of the league, this is very much appreciated.
And as a fantasy owner whose team needs to win his final game of the season to get in,, I guess all of you have already predicted what happens next.
The Final score of that week 14 match up:
TEAM PUNISHMENT 111.02 SAINT PATRICK'S DAY 108.00
That was the second highest point total Team Punishment had all year, and it came at the perfect time to play spoiler.
Team Punishment single handily made sure that Saint Patrick's Day didn't make it into the playoffs. He spent the money that week on free agent pick ups and acquired two players that aided in the victory:
Toby Gerhart: 16.90 points
Philadelphia D 21.00 points
So there you have it. That is how my 3 year playoff streak came to an end in the two leagues that I am commissioner in.
It came in the form of a painful 3.02 point loss to the last place team in the league.
