Did Matt Crowell technically retire last year?

I think the better question here is did Matt Crowell inadvertently have the best fantasy trash talk EVER when it comes to Don Megge and Don Davis?

Feel free to answer the poll I have posted on the league message board.

Detroit Pigskin Dynasty Season Recap: Part 2

THE PIETRANGELO BOWL

#3 Matt Pietrangelo vs. #4 Steve Pietrangelo

After a grueling fantasy season, the final game has been set, and it all comes down this:

Pietrangelo vs. Pietrangelo.

The bottom seeds advancing and sending the top two seeds home early, and now the Detroit Pigskin Dynasty will have its first ever 2-time champion...MAYBE a back-to-back championship which would be highly impressive. 

And of course it all came down to an old school MONDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!

Atlanta Falcons vs. San Francisco 49ers

Going into the game the score was:

#4  Steve Pietrangelo     76.64

#3  Matt Pietrangelo       73.08

Steve's team was completely done for the week.

Matt's team still had Vernon Davis AND the San Francisco defense left to go.

It seemed to be a formality that Matt Pietrangelo would lock up his second fantasy championship.

Boy did it set up for a very eventful night as it was the same night as the annual Christmas Poker Party and as the night progressed we will go directly to the FOURTH quarter.

That is right, Matt had yet to make up the point differential and still trailed going to the 4th quarter as Vernon Davis had ZERO points.

Fast forward to the end of the game as we are down to the 2-minute drive.  Matt Ryan and the Falcons were driving down the field.

The score of the "real" football game was:  SF 27  ATL 24

Matt Pietrangelo was STILL down 3-4 points at the current time.

The only way, and I mean THE ONLY way Matt Pietrangelo could win was if Matt Ryan threw a pick-6,

and at the same time, Matt Ryan is trying to just get his team into field goal position.  CLEARLY the chances of him throwing a pick-6 are minuscule.

Steve Pietrangelo is on the brink of winning BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Well you know already know what I am about to say:

and then this happened...

KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ALL GATHERED AROUND THE POKER TABLE WITNESSING HISTORY.... HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED.....OH MY!

And just like that, Matt Pietrangelo is your 2013 Fantasy Super Bowl Champion!

#3  MATT PIETRANGELO   81.08

#4  STEVE PIETRANGELO  76.64

It was made TEN TIMES better that we were all gathered together to watch it happened.  

So ALREADY PLANNED, and I mean make this is a PRIORITY again this year

Monday Night Poker Party tentatively planned for December 22nd at the Fahey household

Does this mean that this year the fantasy Superbowl champion will have Peyton Manning on their team?

Did this just completely change everybody's draft strategy?

Detroit Pigskin Dynasty Season Recap: Part 1

It is officially August and we are approximately (ALREADY) 3 weeks away from the live draft.

Here is a quick recap on last year's playoff results:

#2  Todd Losey        102.56

#3  Matt Pietrangelo  179.96

Matt Pietrangelo's team scored an astounding PLAYOFF RECORD 179.96 points.  

He was a beneficiary of Jamaal Charles's record breaking performance of 50+ points.

  Final statline on the day for Charles was 20 rush yards, 195 rec yards, and FIVE total touchdowns.

Todd Losey's playoff changes were smashed quicker than poor Price "The Viper" Oberyn's skull.

This set up another history making moment...

Either the #1 seed in the league would actually win the Super Bowl, or the Detroit Pigskin Dynasty would have its first two-time champion...not to mention the possibility of the "Pietrangelo Bowl!"

We had story lines galore!

#1  Patrick Fahey          96.02

#4  Steve Pietrangelo  113.02

Let me refresh your memory about the ending to this playoff matchup.  

We had a good old fashioned MONDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! 

 Fahey had Reggie Bush vs. Steve had Justin fucking kicker Tucker! 

 Steve had a 10.1 point lead going into the showdown.

http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=331216008

On the EIGHTH PLAY of the game, Reggie Bush already had 40 yards rushing and a TD!

WE WERE TIED!!

Next series Baltimore went 3 and out and first play for the Lions Reggie Bush had a 19 yard carry.

Fahey erased that deficit QUICKLY and now pulls into the lead.

And then.................

Justin Tucker 29 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 24 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 32 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 49 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 53 Yard Field Goal

And then..............

Justin Tucker kicked a 61 Yard ( SIXTY-ONE YARD ) field goal to finish the game.

Not only did Justin Tucker single-handily defeat the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, he kicked, and kicked, and booted Fahey right out of any chance of winning the Superbowl.

Which brings up the most peculiar question:  Which playoff loss was more painful?

Having your chances shattered quickly courtesy of 5 TD's from a running back?

or

Getting field goal kicked, repeatedly, into submission?

Regardless, the results set up the brother vs. brother match up.

Detroit Pigskin Dynasty will be guaranteed to have the first ever 2-time champion.

The defending champion Steve Pietrangelo vs. 2010 champ Matt Pietrangelo
