Leonard's League 14/15 - Week Three

How is everyone this week?  After the Hawks/Broncos game Sunday night, I'm still a bit tense.  I'm a fan of both teams, and I would have loved for Sunday's game to have been last year's Championship...alas we got a boring runaway of a Big Game and a nail biter on Sunday night.  It was still a kick-ass game and its awesome to see the Hawks come out on top.  AGAIN.

Wrong Turn is still a little lost but she seems to be getting her bearings.  Her last minute add of Cody Parkey worked out well for her, 15 points from a kicker...you can never have too many kickers.  Despite her improved performance she lost this week by 3 points to Yobogoya.  Rashad Jenning's performance (23.60 points) provided Yobogoya with the tasty brown treat she needed to secure the win.

This week the Klunebergs beat offinthewoods.  What's wrong gentlemen, are the wives slacking in their marital duties?  The Klunebergs scored an impressive 139.84 points, with 6 of his players scoring over 17 points.  Wow.  Unfortunately for offinthewoods Ryan Matthews left his game with a sprained MCL - which meant a giant 0 on the board, and a solid 15 points left on the bench with Reggie Bush.  If its any consolation, at least you didn't stand a chance!

At 7:45am on Sunday, the Green Velvet Recliners (and My Naginta Naginta) were on their way to the Beat the Blerch 10k.  At 8:30am Bernard Peirce's status was updated to inactive.  The 10k was awesome - easily the best organized race I've been a part of, but, Pierce's status change went unnoticed until I was done running and his game was in it's third quarter.  Damn.  In all fairness a similar thing happened to Your Wife My Kids with Roddy White.  Regardless, the Recliners pulled out the W!

The Kiegl Titans had a disappointing Thursday night with B.Rainey forgetting to use his brain and fumbling twice.  He ended up with 6.50 points but at one point had -0.90.  The Titans needed to tighten up for the rest of the week, and unfortunately for My Naginta - they did.   Unlike the Ducks, at least the Titans won this one fair and square, my Naginta had the low score of the week with 56.08 total points.

The Traveling Panty Droppers dropped another round, this time to The Legend and she has traveled all the way to the bottom of leaderboard.  This makes last year's champion 0-3, and her GOAT title is in serious jeopardy.  The Legend has sneakily worked his way up to third place in the league - who invited this guy?

Iron Thighs mastered the Canning Queen in Week 3.  Both DeMarco Murray and Knile Davis (Iron Thighs' RBs) had performances for Suzanne Somers to be proud of with two easy payments of 17.10 and 17.20.  The Canning Queen needs to take things Step by Step and look at beefing up her WR lineup.  Watkins, Welker, and Wayne - these three don't seem to be good company for the Queen.

The Hart Household is currently undefeated.  Yobogoya and The Klunebergs are on top of the standings.  We'll see if that holds up through week 4...I go up against Yobogoya so I'm thinking not.

Leonard's League 14/15 - Week Two

Leonard's League Week Two

Wrong Turn suffered another loss, this time to the Green Velvet Recliners.  The Green Velvet Recliner's gambled on replacing Jordan Cameron (who as of Saturday evening was still up in the air on whether or not he'd play) with Delanie Walker which ended up being a great call as Walker scored 20 points.  Tom Brady's continued poor fantasy performance could end up being a real problem for Wrong Turn. 


Keigl Titans fell to Yobogoya in the closest match of the week.  Both teams had a player injured mid-game so that didn't help either of them, but at least it was even?  Not much consolation there, it sucks to see somebody get hurt on the field.

The Traveling Panty Droppers lost to My Naginta Naginta.  My Naginta Naginta scored almost double what the Panty's put on the board with a ridiculous 34.20 points from the Bills Defense.  Come on Panties...don't live up to your team name, make us work for it! You have a trophy to defend.


The Canning Queen has recovered nicely from the loss of Wes Welker (I'm still mourning), she beat the Legend and boasts the highest score of the week, even with the sad performance by the Hawks Defense pulling her down.  Well done, Chica!  The Legend still looked pretty good, and facing almost any other opponent this week he would have won.  Bummer.

The Klunebergs dominated again this week, showing up Your Wife My Kids in an odd match with very disappointing performances on both sides (Pierre Garcon and RGIII), interestingly enough RGIII's injury contributed to Garcon's sub-par performance...How's that for a fantasy twist?

Iron Thighs beat Offinthewoods ;)  Say it out loud - we're all adults here.  Despite Iron Thigh's first win, this was still the lowest scoring match of the week, and Offinthewoods' WRs boasted a combined total of zero.  This is the first public shaming for an incomplete lineup.  CHECK YOUR TEAMS people! 

The defensive change this year that allows points for a punt return is turning out to be quite the difference maker.  5 defenses scored over 15 points this week, and 3 of them scored over 20 so make sure and watch your D...because this year it matters.

Hopefully this next week will be one where the sportscasters are talking about sports...not scandals.

Much Love,

Fantasy Football - Week 1

For the second year running I've been a part of a Fantasy Football league.  We call it Leonard's League and its a fantastic excuse to hang out with friends, watch football and win...naturally.  Last year I did a few updates on the weekly games, but this year I'll make it a weekly thing.  AND, instead of just sending out an email, I post it here.  For those of you not involved in the league, or not into football, it might not be very entertaining, but the blog is about what Josh and I are up to and right now this is it!

Here is week one's update:

Hola!

How's everyone feeling?  I'm currently loving the start of football season and the change to Fall weather.  Last week we had some good games, and some ridiculous runaways.  I probably won't recap every week, but here we go...

The Green Velvet Recliners were thoroughly trounced by the Klunebergs.  I did some shit talking ahead of time, this may have been my downfall.  That and stellar performances by a couple of the Kluneberg WRs.  I will take solace in the fact that the Klunebergs are currently ranked #1, at least I got beat by the best.

Yobogoya killed the Traveling Panty Droppers.  Good work taking down the reigning champ!  Yobogoya has a pretty solid WR/RB lineup, so I'd watch out for her this year.

The Canning Queen was canned by My Naginta Naginta.  I think the blame for that can be laid at the feet of Wes Welker.   He was the hero of my team last year, but a positive drug test, WTF?!  Although a kicker with 17 points is nothing to laugh at for My Naginta.

Wrong Turn had a disappointing introduction to Fantasy with her team scoring only 60% of their projection - ouch.  This wasn't a high scoring game for either team but the Titans have some serious potential going forward and with a Percy Harvin anchor I think Wrong Turn will be one to watch out for...she did win the draft!

Your Wife My Kids and Iron Thighs played another low scoring match with Your Wife coming out on top.  Sorry Gentlemen, there's not much to say about this match - both of your teams sucked last week.

Off in the Woods was actually off in the woods all last week, he was stuck in Homer, Alaska while his team lost a high scoring battle by a couple of points to The Legend.  They both had non-QB players score over 24 points - well done.

Historically the ladies have kicked ass, Canning Queen, Wrong Turn, Panty Droppers and the Green Velvet Recliners (me)...we need to step our game!

This week should be a better one, at least as far as the NFL is concerned.  Two MNF games last week - that was just weird.  The Hawks play at 1 on Sunday, I'll be at a family reunion if someone could text me updates I'd be a happy girl!

Much Love,
Kiki
