This is one of the shittiest fantasy seasons of my ancient fantasy football life, maybe the shittiest.
I do two very long-running leagues, 12 teams. In one league I was smashed with massive injuries to just about every good player I had. Horrible start of like 1-4, even though I still scored fairly well consistently. I recovered and slowly climbed my way back with waiver wire pickups and putting out the best lineups I could. Won two, then lost three to just shitaass luck. No matter how many points I scored, it seemed like every team I played that week had their best game and scored crazy points, even the shit teams. I finished winning my last 5 games for an 8-7 record. I scored the second highest number of points for the season to finish barely over .500.
In the final game I needed two of three teams to lose that were one game ahead, but I played one of them, so I could take care of that one. I beat his ass 120-105,despite his qb Kirk Cousins scoring huge in the big historic OT shootout comeback. The other two were playing shitass teams, just needed one of them to lose to get in the playoffs. One of their opponents left a starting spot empty, and then had Jonothan Taylor get knocked out early. He also had AJ Dillon playing last night, who was off to a 20 point first half, then he got knocked the fuck out with a concussion. The team I needed him to beat won the game by 6 with 77 shitty points, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
The other team I need to lose won 88-81.
My second league was almost the opposite. I started off well at 5-2, then got hit by the injuries and bye week bullshit. Players I picked up got hurt. Players that were consistently good went to shit for various reasons. Then just had shittass luck with opponents scoring ridiculous over their average against me. Ended with a 2-6 run, despite having scored 3rd best in total points, losingass record, 7th place. This league was a surefire playoff team for me, but couldn't catch a god damn break. At one point the shittiest team in the league scored 174 points on my ass. Then a couple of weeks later against one of the teams ahead of me the same asshole left four starting spots open with injured and bye players and scored 50 and gave the other asshole a free win with shitty points. That one was a back-breaker.
Just one of those crazy years where the schedule fucked me in the ass. If I played any other teams' schedule I probably would be ballin' for the championship yet again.
Oh well, fuck all this bullshit.
Shit is what it is, and I can take it. But what really pisses me off is motherfuckers that puss out when they aren't winning and stop taking care of their lineups and at least put a reasonable starting lineup of live bodies in. It just fucks the the entire league and shifts the outcomes. You gotta keep playing and not screw the other teams, and sometimes if you try you can make some tremendous second half combacks like I have several times.
Oh well, ain't nobody gonna read this longass shit, anyway. If I had a life I wouldn't give a fuck, either.
