MHR FFL- Updated with Rankings
It's week six of the fantasy season, and the MHR Fantasy League has turned into one great big fantasy mosh pit. Looking at the standings, you will see that eight out of the twelve teams are jammed at 3-3, with only two ahead of the pack and two behind. In this post, I'll recap last week's games and dish out some awards. I didn't do charts this time, mostly because I'm too lazy, but also because I'm really excited that I just found out what the Prt Scr button does, so you're getting a picture straight from the Fleaflicker page. And, without further ado, on to fantasy football!
Here's that picture I was talking about, complete with standings and points per game. You may have to switch to "wide" to see all of it.
Last week’s Games:
Blue Collar Broncos 129.5, Toilers of the C++ 83.85
Styg got valiant efforts from Clinton Portis and Tony Romo, but they were balanced out by o-fers from Nate Jackson and the Panthers D. In the end, though, It didn’t really matter as Denver_Native’s boys laid a whopping 130 burger on the hapless Toilers. The Broncos got massive performances from Phyllis Rivers, Thomas Jones, Reggie Wayne, Steve Breaston, and David Akers as they coasted to the scoring lead in Week Six. Optimum: Broncos 140.6, Toilers 98.05. Coach Ratings: Denver_Native 92%, Styg50 85%
Albino Wildebeests 124.5, The Fighting Manginos 89.7
The Wildebeests’ latest victim was The Fighting Manginos, who had the unfortunate circumstance of posting the fifth-best scoring total in the league and still losing. Aaron Rodgers, Marion Barber, Roddy White, Jason Elam, and the Vikings’ D all put up over 17 points as the Wildebeests left an albino hoof print all over the state of Kansas. Optimum: Wildebeests 135.8, Manginos 112.35. Coach Ratings: Papigrande 91%, DenverJhawk 79%
SacTown Beavers 100.7, TheSportsGuru’s Team 48.8
The score pretty much sums it up: the Beavers came to play and Guru’s Team did not. No one got into the 20’s for Guru, as it looks like his days of being MHR FFL-league runner-up are long gone. Meanwhile, the Beavers continue to dominate, having posted a league-leading 601.35 ponts thus far. Zappa rode the little legs of Maurice Jones-Drew (ugh.) to 28.8 points and another impressive win. Optimum: Beavers 114.8, Guru’s Team 62.2. Coach Ratings: Zappa 87%, Guru 78%
Brazil Devils 99.7, Russ’ Team 57.15
Another week 6 blowout. Kyle Orton and Braylon Edwards led the way in the uber-destruction of Russ. Russ plunges from the Shanny to the Norvy in one week; I guess inconsistency is the mantra of the defending league champs. Optimum: Devils 100.6, Russ’ Team 95.05. Coach Ratings: lucasfrodriguez 99%, Russ 60%
Cincinnatroit Texrams 88.9, J.F.K. Mustangs 82.8
Maybe the name change was good for the previously winless Urban Expansion. An new identity led to a big win in Week 6’s Game of the Week, as this one was close down to the wire. The Mustangs needed only seven points from the Giants’ dominant defense to win, but lo and behold, they went scoreless, enabling the Texrams to win. The Texrams’ biggest players were Andre Johnson and the Eagles’ D, both scoring in the twenties. Optimum: Texrams 100.4, Mustangs 95.1. Coach Ratings: ejruiz 88%, davecheffy 87%
I CRUSH YOU! 69.5, Qatar Wars: A Noob Hope 50.3
This game was ugly. I didn’t have an alibi. It was u-g-l-y ugly. For instance, Qatar Wars would have been better off starting Lendale White than Leron McClain this week. And White was on his bye week. Ouch. To be honest, I didn’t have it in me to watch tape of this one. I just read what the Mainstream Fantasy Media put out in Fantasy Peter King’s Monday Morning Fantasy Quarterback. Sorry! Optimum: I CRUSH YOU 81.15, Qatar Wars 78.8. Coach Ratings: Jezru (ICY) 85%, JR G 63%
Weekly Awards
The Shanny Award for Best Coach Rating: lucasfrodriguez with 99%
The Norvy Award for Worst Coach Rating: Russ with 60%
The Rod Award for Highest Team Score: Blue Collar Broncos with 129.5
The raider Award for Lowest Team Score: TheSportsGuru's Team with 48.8
Power Rankings
1. Albino Wildebeests, 5-1 (1)- At 5-1, still the best team in the league, and keeps on rollin' with a convincing win over The Figthing Manginos
2. SacTown Beavers, 4-2 (4)- For what the fantasy pundits have said (Who the hell would ride Kurt Warner as a #1 QB for a whole season?) the Beavers have been more worthy of this spot then anyone else. Too bad they're in the same division as the Wildebeests.
3. Blue Collar Broncos, 3-3 (7)- Exploded for a 130 spot on the Toilers, has the pieces in place to make a repeat performance.
4. Toilers of the C++, 3-3 (2)- From three straight wins to a disappointing loss to the Blue Collar Broncos, the Toilers need to rebound in a big way to prove themselves worthy of playoff consideration.
5. Brazil Devils, 3-3 (10)- A nice win and a Shanny Award pickup vaults them back into the playoff race.
6. The Fighting Manginos, 3-3 (8)- Three straight losses are never a good thing, but they would still be the #2 seed if the playoffs ended today. Plus, it's not like they've had the easiest schedule in thw world.
7. J.F.K. Mustangs, 3-3 (6)- Have fallen off the pace with two straight losses, including the first victory of the season for the Texrams.
8. Qatar Wars: A Noob Hope, 3-3 (9)- Only ranked this high because they would be the #3 seed if the playoffs ended today. Laid an egg vs. I CRUSH YOU!
9. TheSportsGuru's Team, 3-3 (3)- Can't keep putting up 50 point performances. What is Guru going to do on the Broncos' bye week?
10. Russ' Team, 3-3 (5)- The defending champs are in trouble. We have way too many 3-3 teams.
11. Cincinnatroit Texrams, 1-5 (12)- Vaulted ahead of I CRUSH YOU with a resounding week 6 win. Victory is sweet!
12. I CRUSH YOU!, 2-4 (11)- Finally, an easy ranking for me. Failed to impress in a win against Qatar Wars last week.

The formatting is not good... I'm new at this.
Styg, you seem to be a beastly formatter, so if you want to help me, that would be awesome. Also, I think the MHR league needs a logo. I want to put a nice logo up there on top of the post like the Chalk Talk logo or the Last Minute Heroics logo.

How comfortable are you with HTML?
Frankly I think the formatting looks great. Your links all work and the layout is very clear and easy to read and understand…
If I have any particular ideas I’ll send them to you, but nothing off the top of my head. And frankly, you flatter me with the formatting talk. I taught HT everything he knows, and now he leaves me in the dust with the formatting. You know what they say, hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard: I have been crippled by the WYSIWYG editor in SBNation 2.0. On the old platform everything looked like crap and you had no choice but to learn HTML. The result was you spent a a lot more time thinking about the layout of your post. With the new platform it is easy to just format as you go, and in turn I have become very, very lazy about formatting, and additionally have forgotten many of the nuanced HTML tricks….
Regarding Logos, the man with the skills is sirsam. He hasn’t posted regularly for a little while, so I expect that he is busy right now, but it never hurts to ask…

I didn't use HTML. In fact, I don't know what that even is.
I don’t think I could even spell WYSIWYG. I ‘m not very techno-savvy… I can’t even use Myspace right, and I bombed a basic computer class. My mom laughs at me bacause I type like a chicken.
So when I first posted this, I tried to type it in a word document and copy and paste it over here. That didn’t work out so good. Everything was out of line, and somehow I had tagged every paragraph with the “Heading 2” format, except the ones that I wanted to be “Heading 2.” Those turned into “unformatted text.” All my italics weren’t italicized. My game breakdown for the Texrams/Mustangs game went down to the bottom of the page and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back up. Somehow, I figured out how to get it all back into line and make it look pretty.
Thanks for the kind words, though. If there are any tricks, I would like to learn them. I’ll ask Sirsam if he could whip something up in the logo department for the league.

No way did I ever pass Styg.
My work is more technical and dry, but has an angle people seem to like. Styg’s prose and presentation is much more esoteric, but also cerebral. Don’t let him Styg fool you. He knows more about HTML than I ever will. (And yes, WYSIWYG has made me lazy too).

A shrewd strategy indeed
you hold an unassailable position:

Guru is the Broncos

You are ranked 9th over all, but are 3-0 in division so therefore you own it.
Your next loss will destroy you though…so dont lose!!!

You have to admit..
S. Breaston was a solid pick up. I didn’t even claim him off the waivers. No one else gave him a chance so he was a free agent. I couldn’t believe he was available.

Not to complain about last place or nothing, but I have one more win than the other guy. Home cookin? I think so. It’s these goofy arbirtary designations that put the patriots above the broncos in the national rankings…

That was kind of what I was getting at there Papi...
although, if you compare non con schedules this year there is not difference between KU v MU and we do have the tougher overall schedule, sometimes it luck of the draw.

Clarification
Did you mean to say that Mangino only schedules pasteries? Or Patsies? I’m thinking he’s done a lot more of the former than the latter.

I would have had a much better week. That game made me want to cry. At least this week I didn’t lose because my kicker made the game winner after the opposing team missed his kick. If it had gone to OT I might have won…
