Metal Sludge Gossip Board

I'm in a wicked points based league. 1 pt for every 3 yards rushing and recieving, plus a bunch of other ways to score points.

I managed to take home the crown riding Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, and Dwayne Bowe.

It was my first championship in that league and I'm kind of misty-eyed over it.

Anybody else come out on top?

I was in 10 leagues and I won them all by over 100 points.

I was in 30 leagues and I won them all by over 150 points, so there.

I came in second im my CFL FF league, however only seven people in Canada play and one dude from baltimore, but im still proud.

Lost the last game of the regular season by less than 2 points when I started Antonio Gates, who was a last minute scratch. That knocked me out of playoffs. Played a couple of consolation games ... turned out I would've won the championship ($250) if I'd made the playoffs. Stupid Antonio Gates. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

I won the Original Metal Sludge League...finally.

I won a pick em league

Pick Em is more fair since there is no talent disparity and your players don't get injured.

I won mine, with Aaron Rodgers and a bunch of players I picked off teh scrap heap.

I started my league 16 years ago and had dominated it many times but never won it. This year i didn't dominate shit and I finally won.

Meh...I drafted Ryan Matthews first (I usually never draft rookies in the first round) and never fully recovered, although I barely squeaked in the playoffs where I was one and done.

My buddy who brought me into this league started it with a bunch of his old high school buddies. He's never won the league, and the ways he's found to lose despite excellent teams is becoming stuff of legend. I beat him in the championship game when one of his studs was a late scratch. Drafting well is good, but sometimes luck is better.

it's at least 50 percent luck. Some of the worst players have won it in my league over the years.

I won one of my three thanks to Drew Brees. My backs sucked all year long.

Aaron Rodgers was one of my big guns all season along with the Jets D HOWEVER.... it was F-ing Aikers who did me wrong with his missed FG (which equals -2+ yardage) coupled with a few Drew Brees kneel downs that my opponent had.

I was down 3 points(!!) on this Sunday with Aikers to go in that Tues night game. All I needed was 3 XPs or 1 FG.( $$$$) but the injustice of my 2nd time playing FF for a full season resulted in this close of a finish in our Super Bowl:



The bonus punch in the gut I also had Longwell but I sat him over Aikers.

Final Longwell points +6

I finished second in my money league. I came in third in a fun, no money league. In both leagues my team sucked in the first round of the playoffs. The fun league team was kick ass too.

QBs-Brees and Ryan
RBs-Peterson, Foster, Tolbert, Fred Jackson
WRs-Roddy White, Brandon Lloyd, Anquan Boldin, Austin Collie picked up Blair White when Collie went down
TEs-Dallas Clark, Jermichael Finley picked Tamme when they both went down
DEF-Steelers and Chargers.

I won with:
RODGERS - My KEEPER. back uped by Josh Freeman who i picked off the scrap heap.
RB: Green Ellis- Maybe my best fa pickup, and Brandon Jacobs. I didn't draft him either.
WRS- Roddy WHITE who, I drafted and Sid Rice and Kenny Britt, both fa pickups.
My d was the Jets who i drafted too high, and Adam V was my K who i drafted.

I came in 2nd in an NFL.com league. My wife in only her first year of playing came in first, Doh!
