(((((CHAMPIONS THREAD))))))

Winna winna...chicken Dinna!

 

Really drafting Ray Rice and grabbing Vernon Davis off waivers in week one were the two moves that did it for me.

 

Romo, MJD, Barber, Rice, Boldin, S Smith (CAR), Vernon Davis, Hartley, 49ers Def was my title roster.

 

 

2004, 2006, 2007, 2009 Champion....12 man redraft.

 

Congrats to my fellow champs.....taste the sweet nectar gentlemen!!

[jls8421 3]

Ok, Been on a four year drought that ended last night, feels good. Sat Wayne and started Beenie... If not for that move I would've lost by .1

1st championship is 10 years.

 

It was a magical (lucky) season. I had a mediocre team.

 

Won in week 13 by two points after Jermichael Finley's 2 td performance on MOnday night against the Ravens just to get into the playoffs.

 

Got into the championship because of the Warner TD adjustment.

 

Played Manning/Clark in the ship.

 

 

Just bought a lottery ticket

Well I was about to post my lineup at halftime cause AD only had 3 points and I still had a 28 pt lead going into second half. Had some really nervous moments there late but Cutler put an end to the Vikes and AD's night. So I am about to crack a beer open and celebrate back to back Championship seasons!

 

Championship Lineup:

 

Romo

CJ and Ray Rice

DJax and Meachem

Finley

Graham

Saints D

[Frank M 181]

Just survived the Steven Jackson debacle to win by 2 points. Up by 20, opponent had ADP, and he scored 18.

[Busted by the Feds 9]

I'm checking in fellas ! Was just waiting because my opponent had someone going on MNF, but I'm officially the champ of my league !

 

Thanks goes out to :

 

P. Manning -- QB for most of the season except for week 16 when I used Alex Smith

 

Gore

PT

waiver wire pickup Jamaal Charles, my RBs

 

A Johnson

D Jax

honorable mention to S Smith (CAR) and Harvin

 

A Gates

 

Carney, then Hartley kicking

 

G Bay, then Arizona D for the last 2 weeks

[giraldi02 470]

First Place in my main money league.

 

Schaub, MJD, Rice, Mason, Grant, Boldin, Wayne, David Harris...all drafted by me led me to the promised land with outstanding performances throughout the year. I benched Wayne in the season finale for Mason and it helped big-time.

 

Cheers!

[jgcrawfish 232]

Rice only got 11 pts, I win by 7. Back to back and 3rd in last 4 years!

 

Schaub, Jones-Drew, Ray Rice, Frank Gore, Greg Jennings, Brandon Marshall, Fred Davis, Garrett Hartley and the freakin Falcons Def!!!

Championship team 100.78:

 

Aaron Rodgers--how do you score 48 points and only get 1 TD?

Quinton Ganther--lost Slaton and there was NOTHING on the wire...rode this one week too long

Adrian Peterson--cane through

Robert Meachem--knew he'd score

Roddy White--came through big time...Matty-Ice came back just in time

Fred Davis--had been hot...not so much this week

Tony Gonzalez--hurt

Rob Bironas

New Orleans DST--started them over the Jets; really tough call, but it worked out ok.

 

Runner up 98.72:

Kurt Warner--good game

MJD--I love the Pats

Ray Rice--wish those yards would have beat the damn Steelers

Anquan Boldin--good game

Vincent Jackson--can't believe he didn't score a TD

Brandon Marshall--love the Eagles

Vernon Davis--Alex Smith's little feet

Nate Kaeding

Dallas DST--double heartbreaker since it was against my skins and 2 of my players.

 

Just shows how much those matchups mean late in the season. I can't believe that Rice ran all over the Steelers.

The best part will be waking up tom. and not having to think how I have to wait yet another year for this feeling.

 

Thx to all the other genius minds here on FFtoday for their help as well.

Working on writing a book on the complete system on how to win, now that I'm a winner.

/pop champagne

[jersey 3]

won by 2.1 points! Went into game down by 9 with AP on my team & Gould on his...

 

Gould goes crazy early.... he is up 16....

AP gets 2 TDs.... im up 2ish at the end on regulation... but BRETT throws a TD at the last second to force OT....

Gould has shot to win it but misses long FG...

AP catches a 13 yard past but FUMBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... now i'm up 2.1 & CHI gets the ball back....

Cutler (on my bench) throws a long TD to wn game & keep Gould off of the field!

 

GREAT WIN!

[PorscheT1 0]

Woohoo! I squeaked into the playoffs, won my first round matchup by 3 points, but took care of business in the championship game.

 

My Team

 

Tom Brady (I love you)

Randy Moss (x2)

Miles Austin (meh)

Derrick Mason (eh)

MJD (blah)

Ahmad Bradshaw (blargh)

Jermichael Finley (decent)

Rob Bironas (shrug)

Cincy DEF (not bad)

 

I got a bit cute in the championship game and started Bradshaw over Addai (was afraid he'd see limited action), Reggie Bush, and Jerome Harrison (doh!). Benched Santonio Holmes in favor of Mason, ah well

 

Opponents Team

 

Aaron Rodgers (I woke up to see GB put up 48 points, thought I was screwed xD)

Larry Fitz

Ochocinco

Percy Harvin

Chris Johnson

Mendenhall

Vernon Davis (this was the scariest looking matchup imo, glad he was held in check)

Tynes

Minnesota DEF

Checking in with my first championship officially in hand!

 

Winning line-up:

Matt Schaub

Jamaal Charles

Jerome Harrison

Vincent Jackson

Miles Austin

Steve Breaston

Jay Feely

Denver D

 

Nothing spectacular, but they got it done! Special thanks to the Colts for sitting their starters, which resulted in my opponent getting just 4 points from Peyton (he didn't have a 2nd QB and waivers closed before the play offs) and being forced to sit Reggie Wayne for Braylon Edwards (who did nothing!).

 

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

 

I was actually the #4 seed and had some good bit of luck in taking it all.

 

QB - Schaub, Cutler

RB - Gore, Grant, M. Bush, Ganther

WR - AJ, MSW, Bowe, Chambers, Morgan

TE - Gates, Heath Miller

K - Hartley

DEF - GB, DAL

[Dan 59]

Okay, my second title in a row in this league, though last year it was a redraft; this year it was the startup for a dynasty. Was I defending?

 

QB Aaron Rodgers

RB Adrian Peterson

RB Tim Hightower

WR Braylon Edwards

WR Santonio Holmes

WR Greg Jennings

TE Jermichael Finley

PK Matt Prater

DEF Houston

 

The team is deep and ready for the future. This week was not all that great, for me or my opponent (obviously). But pulled it off with a Monday night, come-from-behind victory.

Congratulations! The first one feels great, especially after a long fight to get there!

[We Tigers 71]

Peterson came up juuuust short of knocking me out. 14-team league, 12-2 regular season, and champ by 3 points. Mad props all year to Schaub, Dallas Clark, Randy Moss, Steven Jackson, and especially DeSean Jackson and Steve Smith NYG, who wayyy overperformed where I got them and were the key value picks for me all year long. The Green Bay defense also gets a little tip of the hat for giving me a ton of double-digit games.

 

Best part? I get to keep 3. Worst part? I can only keep 3!

 

Congrats to everybody!

[DrGonzo 1]

I would like to thank the following players fro making it happen. My first championship since Marshall Faulk in 2001 took it home for me.

 

Aaron Rogers - for flat out lighting it up week after week.

Ray rice - For being there in the 5th round.

Cedric Benson - For your return to glory

Larry Johnson - For being crazy and encouraging me to draft Jamal Charles

Andre3000 - for being Andre and living up to the hype.

 

And especially Matt Forte, for sucking all year and sucking again when my opponent needed you to score a measly 9 points and you got 7...

[the card says moops 0]

 

It ended up coming down to last night. Up 7 and the other guy had the Vikings D...

 

Jay Cutler is alright in my book.

 

 

Thank yous go out to Peyton Manning, Steve Smith, Brent Celek, Jerome Harrison and Jamaal Charles. Tashard Choice won me a game at some point too. I had perhaps the worst championship team in the history of my league, but F it. $$$$

[First_And_Long 0]

Well, I lost by 1 point to the Brees owner in week 15 (I still say that was a lateral ) but I would have beaten any other team in the league by 35+ points during superbowl week so, at least in my mind, I'm taking home the .

 

[JackARoot 2]

It was a close one, but I got my third championship in 12 years:

 

QB - McNabb

RB - MJD

RB - Ray Rice

WR - Colston

WR - MSW

TE - Winslow

K - Prater

D - Denver

 

Against:

 

QB - Rothlesburger

RB - Chris Johnson

RB - Thomas Jones

WR - Andre Johnson

WR - Brandon Marshall

TE - Rosario

K - Josh Brown

D - Eagles

 

I was worried about the matchup due to tough run D's against both my RB's. Also, the opposing team scored 183 points in week 13 ... but I pulled through

[Busted by the Feds 9]

Congrats to all, especially the 1st time champs. I can see the smiles in your faces today !

Was super worried going in and thought I'd likely lose to:

 

Big Ben

Benson (sure to blow up)

Mendy

AJ (see Benson)

Fitz

Harvin

Boss

Kaeding

Patriots

 

Only Boss and maybe Harvin were suspect in that lineup.

 

I countered with:

 

Rodgers (but was worried about no opposition limiting his PT and that came to fruition)

Gore

Rice

R. Moss

V Jax (let down of a performance combined with Bironas' weak stat line on Xmas day left me pretty sure I'd lose)

Meachem

F. Davis (ugh sat Celek because of Denver D vs. TE and overall pass D plus all the Eagle wideouts that were available to pass to)

Bironas

Cards (could've scored a bit more with Falcons)

 

Won 117-85.

[nocarbs 0]

I won my league because I had the had to bench Peyton Manning and start Flacco. Also, started Snelling over D.Williams (out). Want to give a shout out to the Atlanta Falcon Def. Started the Falcons def over the Vikes.
