Even with there still being the MNF game to play, we know the matchup.
The 1 seed The Bear Claw, 10-5, helmed by Judge Judy will host the 2 seed The Eberlosers, 10-5, manned by The PASheTheyThemHerZionistHeHimIdiotMan!
The Eberlosers vanquished Hired Gun, 9-6, coached by Tempo34, in their semifinal.
The Bear Claw defeated Never Trust an Auto Draft, generally managed by Custard, in their semifinal.
Congrats to all who played!
More to come.
-
I demand a recount.
-
Can only play who’s on the schedule. Better teams won.
-
I pulled a Bears and ended on an 8 game losing streak 😬
-
And Judge Judy has a 6 point lead going into Monday Night!
-
Custard beats Tempo for 3rd place. Miles vanquished JeffFrank for 5th place.

You’re gonna win. I started the wrong QB, WR, and TE it appears…

It is going to be close.
I started a wrong WR and Defense and got zilch from my Kicker!

I was not aware there was a 3rd place game!

No facemasks were stolen in the playing of these events.

Congratulations. All credit goes to the players, I'm sure.

Congrats
Thank you, Judge Judy. We knew we had to bring our A Game given the squad you had assembled.

Congratulations. All credit goes to the players, I'm sure.

Tempo or Judy, if you want to use Yahoo rhis year for rhe league, one of you need to set it up. Yahoo hates me and won't let me ever log in....

Here’s the link to join…
Football season is upon us! Join my league "IlliniHQ2"
https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1450852/invitation?key=9051d7014951b387&ikey=cd61d25dd8f5357e&soc_src=app-sh
Draft is Wednesday Sept 3 at 7:30pm CST. Can be up to 10 teams. Just need an even number of teams over four to have the league.
-
We’ve got 4 teams signed up so far. If you want in, please try to do it today. Would like to have at least 4 more teams…
The link is above.
-
I just joined. Let me know if I need to recruit any more people.
-

We have 5 now…
-
6 teams now…
-
Ok I think I'm in. When is the draft?
-
Can we draft tonight instead? Tomorrow night isn't good for me...
-
Ok I think I'm in. When is the draft?
Tomorrow night at 8:30.
-
Jk 7:30 :-)
-
I’m hoping to get a couple more before we do the draft…
-
I'm in.
-
I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to the draft tonight. I'm assuming it will auto draft if I'm not there?
-
Since you were at 7, I went ahead and dropped out.
-
Ok, sorry about that, Jobu.
-
No worries! I would have kicked all of your asses anyway. Now at least it's a little more fair. Lol
-
We need at least 8
-
If anyone is auto-drafting, you can queue and prioritize players for the draft, so your team will at least look somewhat like the team you want
-
Well we need two more possibly…
-
Get back in Jobu. I'll be auto drafting probably.
-
Yes, get back in Jobu and auto draft…
-
No, I'm not gonna auto draft. If I'm playing, I'm playing. Auto draft is bullshit.
I can't tonight. Sorry guys.
-
Still need at least one more or we can’t draft…
-
I’ll auto-draft if you play.
-
It is now likely that I’ll be auto drafting too
-
Who is who? I think I know everyone but The Tallest Midgets and The Young and the Russ-Less. BTW, there’s no a in Ernie. Don’t worry, I won’t sue you.

In the league I'm actually playing in, I changed my team name to Christian McCalfinjury.

Young and Russ-Less is Ms. Custard
-
In 48 hours I lost Malik Nabers, Tyreek Hill, and now Trey Benson RB (set to become the workhorse in AZ) for the season. Lol
-
My bad, Benson on IR. Possible he comes back this year.
-
My loss of Tyreke has allowed me to pick up Judkins. Could be a blessing in disguise.
Tyreke has been riding my bench since week 2. So no huge loss.
-
Me too, but figured he’d come in handy at some point. Nabers and Benson are big losses.
-
Do we have an IR spot in the HQ2 league?
-
Turns out we do!
-
Me too, but figured he’d come in handy at some point. Nabers and Benson are big losses.
My opponent has Malik Nabers. I'm holding AJ Brown as a trade chip to her.
-
Hopefully she’s dumb enough to do it. I love AJ Brown but wouldn’t trade for him. Now if AJ Brown got traded to KC…
-

Yeah, she wants to give me Ladd McConkey. I'm passing.
-

Ladd McHonky - hard pass.
-
Quinton Johnston is eating into his production bigly.
-
I picked up Johnston as an early waiver grab in my other league and guy's kept me from 0-4.
-
Hell of a shootout between me and Custard this week. He’s had me down much of the day, down to a 24% chance or so. I’ve fought back to 54% but a lot of firepower on both sides can change things quickly. I have McCaffery and Jacobs, he’s got Gibbs and Achane.
-
I’m really glad Shanahan decided this was a Brock Purdy game…
-
San Fran D is what’s really killing me. At home and they can’t stop Tennessee lol. Everyone stops Tennessee.
-
Gibbs let me down big time today but overperformed a couple times recently to get me Ws so I can’t be too mad. Need a good night tomorrow night.
In the bigger picture, I beat Ms Custard head to head a couple weeks ago but will lose the war unfortunately.
-
You need about 11+ points from
Achane to beat me. Seems probable. Now that I think about it though, you’d be doing me a favor. I avoid Calvin in the 1st round of the playoffs! Go Custard!
-
Goddamn Fins. Hand the ball to Achane the rest of the game!!!
-
😅
-
Well damn, what I didn’t notice that is our game was an elimination game. Uber Earnie snuck into the playoffs ahead of me; despite the fact I scored almost 250 more points than him this season. Lol only person with more points was Calvin.
-
Should have played better defense

I didn’t realize that either. I was sweating it out last night regardless

My faith in Montez was not rewarded…

Playing Ms Custard this week, let the shit talking commence
-
Put up 160 this week! !!!!!!

Put up 160 this week! !!!!!!
And you get to face Calvin, who put up 182!

And you get to face Calvin, who put up 182!
Lots of weird shit last week but that’s a crazy number. I’m backed into a corner a bit with what I had to lose to survive some unfortunate bye weeks and injuries. Can’t get into a better projected performance than where I’m at now. Just gotta hope some guys stay hot and Calvinzballs cool off a little.
-
Last week was nuts in fantasy with multiple teams having high offensive outputs, and I had all that hit with Jaylen Warren on the bench and starting the Seahawks defense. My luck has been alternating weeks all year so watch the Rams and Falcons somehow play a 10-7 game this week.

I need a high scoring Rams/Falcons game. I have Bijan and Puka on my 14-1 money league team. 67% favorite heading into the weekend, would be a shame to not close the deal.
-
14-1 is impressive in any league.
-
I always knew that tempo would kick ass in a league that didn’t have HQers in it. He just ran into a buzz saw.

I was 2nd in season long scoring in HQ2 and missed the playoffs. Sometimes luck is not on your side.
And here is my team profile in my money league in case you were doubting me. My playoff win from last week doesn’t count towards my record shown in the screenshot.

What is the prize to win that league and what do you have to do if you come in last?

-

Not a huge pot just $250, winner take all. No punishment for finishing last. Just gotta live with it.
-
I’ve been in about 6 or 7 leagues but can’t recall being in a league that requires last place to do anything. Kind of wish I did play in a league like that. I had a really bad year like 4 years ago but can’t remember if I was last.
-
Yeah, I’ve never played in one that does either. Actually this is the first year I’ve ever done fantasy football and that’s just in this league. But it seems like it would be fun.
-
Gonna need a miracle from someone(s) or a collapse from Calvin it looks like. Yikes.
-
I went from a 2-1 favorite in my championship final to a 54% favorite (which is basically a coin toss) because I’m going against Derrick Henry tonight.
-
I was poised for another runaway victory minus someone completely going off.
-
and thanks to that late 25 yard TD run I am now a 49% underdog lol wow
-
216 yards and 4 TDs for Henry
-
SMH

-
Looks like I’m going to fail to break 100 this week after posting 162 last week. Everyone underperforming.
-
62% favorite to win my championship. I need Bijan and Puka to outscore Drake London by 13.5. Doable for sure, but not a sure thing. My gamble to start Loveland paid off (mostly, becuase he countered with Tonges replacing Kittle which I thought was pretty ballsy). Tonges had a nice game so I only picked up a few there.
-
In the end, the fantasy football gods were just!

TY was definitely nervous I’d blow it. First title I’ve won in 7 years I think.

Congrats to you and your ballz on the HQ title, well earned!
I had Rashee Rice and Tucker Kraft before they both went on IR. And Bucky Irving on my bench for the final. My team was loaded.

-

Umm, sure. Tucker Kraft was the #11 TE and going about the 100th pick in many drafts. Rashee Rice fell in the draft because he was suspended the first 4 games. But keep trying.

Gracias. Rice was great for the weeks he played.
-
The teams were auto drafted. You better set your lineups for tonight!
-
I drafted most of my players myself.
-
No excuses for Tempo not to win the league....
-
All you.had to do was join the draft room. I was literally driving down route 53 when I got a notification it was my turn to pick (saw it 2nd round)
-

You were driving down Route 53 during the draft is going to be the excuse?
-
Tempo went all in on Darnold
-
Nope. Josh Allen is my QB. And Dak is my backup.

No Justin Fields?

Holy shit this is great, my team isn't bad, like half guys I would've taken anyway (Although Love in the 4th when I already had 2 RBs is a WTF). Let's go, assholes.
I can't deal with email notifications at all, much less driving.
-
Ms Custard and I both auto drafted because we had an engagement that evening. She got an A draft grade and I got a D. Fucking bullshit. Busy as hell all weekend too so didn’t make any changes at all. Oh well
-
Also, I added the Denver defense yesterday and it was supposed to replace the Rams defense. Go in there and look today and my defense is empty and the Rams D is on the bench. It shows that I have the Denver defense, but it won’t allow me to play it for some reason so now I’m going to get an 0-fer for defense. Not that it really matters.
-
Pick up the defense that is playing the Browns. Every week. You're welcome

Not answering his Hq messages, or he’d have seen AC/DC and The Foo Fighters last week (for free)!
-
I can't even swap players in and out of my lineup on my phone and cannot access the site through my laptop.
-
Ahhh shit, just realized I have Lions DST in my HQ lineup. Doh!
-
And left DJ Moore on the bench. I should have checked my lineup.
-
Josh Allen killing it being largely negated by the fact I didn’t know I had the Lions DST.

Who is The Tallest Midgets?

Taken out of context!
It still busts me up....

Yes, at the time, his priority wasn’t the business of the Chicago Bears. Thankfully, that seems to have been rectified.

You are still mad! Hoge was right!
-
Nope, not mad at all. Quite happy with the direction things are headed.
Doesn’t mean I don’t feel for Justin, who got screwed from day one. Kid at least deserved to have a decent coach and some adequate support.

A. You were mad at the time.
B. Justin sucked and still sucks.
You were wrong on both. Still living on The Mack Trade Glory Days!
-
Mad at the time, perhaps. Still correct. I want my franchise quarterback (regardless of who that is) to prioritize the business of the Chicago Bears, and Caleb wasn’t doing that.

-
Tempo has changed his name to Custard’s Biological Father and is matched up this week with the frequent recipient of my DNA. What a showdown!
-
“Dad.”
I did not know this. Custard’s Biological Dad is off to a 3-0 start, but has also been fortunate with middle of pack scoring. Just win, baby!
-
She has a massive projection of 132.47 (easily tops in league), but projections are usually crap. I often get my ass kicked when I’m a substantial favorite.
-
By the way, I earned my team name by handing Custard an 11 point week 1 loss!
-
So I hear that Mrs. Custard was trash talking me in fantasy this week. Let it be known that I have instructed my players to head hunt, and run up the score!
100k bounty on Joe Burrow!
-
She’s fortunate I benched Judkins 2 minutes before the game. Which is an odd choice seeing as how I had Cleveland pegged for pulling the upset.
-
Mrs C and I look to be engaged in a heavyweight fight in the early going!
-
DJ Moore leaves again with injury. This could prove costly in a hotly contested contest.
-
Me and Ms C are like a Rocky vs Creed fight.
-
I am not paying Josh Allen to be pedestrian…
-
Benching Judkins for DJ Moore 🤦♂️
-
I’m gonna need a bigger boat.
-
What declining chance I had is basically out the window with Rashee Rice leaving in the 1st quarter with a hammy. DJ Moore done after one quarter, too. Might have to change my team name to Custard’s Long Lost Uncle!
-
Calvin and Judge Judy have a good one going. Super tight game with JJ needing the win and trying to knock off the 3-0 Ballz of Calvin.
-
I dropped Maye and added Goff for this week which was dumb, but have three guys with 30 spots and on track for 172 points.
(https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-29-2016/ZmZS_L.gif)
Where the hell was that the last three weeks? Need to save some for next week when I take on Ms Custard!
-
I can still pull this out if I can get a top 5ish all-time Yahoo performance for a RB out of Bijan lol.
I think he’s in for a big game, but probably not that big.
-
Ms Custard could be in trouble! If Bijan keeps up this pace I’ll win by 30. 🤣
-
If by some miracle I were to pull this off, this would be on par with my Michael Vick comeback.
I was down something like 68 with Michael Vick on Monday night. He went for exactly the number I needed and I won a tiebreaker because the tiebreaker was quarteback points. LOL
-
Too much sharing carries. Feed the BEAST!
-
These fucking genius coaches who spend the 8th pick in the draft on a RB and then wanna make sure they spread the wealth. JFC

3rd TD for the backup. LOL
-

Sure, but it was a time share early 2nd quarter, if not earlier.
-
I had that issue with Bijan when Allgeier was there. I got to where I actively hated that bastard.
Member that game in Bijan's rookie year when he got 1 point, and didn't go out with injury? I member. Fucking Arthur Smith

Reminds me of when Derrick Henry, for at least two seasons played second fiddle to a washed out DeMarco Murray. Henry’s rookie year late in the season he had 9 carries for like 60 yards and 2 TDs. On a hunch they were finally going to unleash him, I played him in my fantasy
championship. They gave him like 4 fucking carries that game. I lost.
It literally took Tennessee until his 4th year to start giving him a workhorse load. Yeah, I guess he proved he could fucking handle it.
-
4-0 with the computer's lame draft picks, baby.
I have the rookies issue almost every year with a WR in another league that's deeper so I take fliers on rookies as my WR3 or 4. Last year it was Golden and this year it's Makai Lemon. They barely want to target the guy.

Right now you are a 12% underdog to Custard’s Crippled Uncle!
-
Had a really good chance of knocking off Calvin, the only undefeated squad, but the air has been leaking out of the tire since about 5:00.
-
I think Lamar not playing has hurt me (even though he’s not on my team). It’s really muddied up the game.
-
Still love him long-term, but Loveland has been a huge fantasy bust so far. Shouldn’t have reached for him in the 3rd round (in both leagues lol).
Speaking of busts, Rome Odunze is dangerously close to being a real-life one, sadly.
-
Need to get Bijan into the end zone
-
Ms Custard and I have an epic battle going on. Many times throughout today we have been within a few hundreds of a point of each other. She is currently projected to win by a couple of points with us both scoring over 150. Need a big night for Williams and/or Kincaid tomorrow

I saw that. The atmosphere must be tense at the Custard house!
If I can get a first 2 games version of Josh Allen I can knock off the only u undefeated team left. If I get week 3 or 4 Josh Allen i fall a little short. Needed more from Bijan. The slow pace of that game hurt his touches.
-
Getting absolutely nothing from Kincaid or Williams. Woof. Wanted to at least have it be interesting. We had a friendly wager on the game and I can’t really lose either way, but still wanted to win.
-
Josh Allen was putting up late stage Derek Carr numbers until late 3rd quarter. Hopefully he’s got 9.5 more points in him. Time is running short, though.
-

Loser wears the butt plug?
-
I have a 1% chance to win, but 100% chance to win if Josh Allen were to run it in from the 20 lol.
-
Overtime could improve my chances alot.
-
Run it in Josh!
-
Fuck.
-
They go back to Cook after being stuffed for no gain. I need OT.
-
OT!
-
Wish there were 30 seconds or so for Josh to get some cheap yards.
-
TD run or pass will do it now! Do not give it to Cook!!!
-
And…they give it to Cook, and he turns it over…
-
Have to hold. If they get the ball back I’m just about a lock.
-
Those cheap yards I didn’t get at end of regulation could’ve been the difference.
-
Bills defense is ass.
-
I went from 1% chance to 51% or more to win (need to get the ball back).
-
Done in by a Cook fumble…not even on my team.
-
Good time for classic Matt Stafford to throw a pick.
-
Blocked!
-
I need a lousy 2.5 points. LFG!
-
And they give it right back to Cook. Guess Ben Johnson doesn’t coach the Bills.
-
Done deal! Epic comeback! Just don’t fumble it or throw a pick, Josh! LOL
-
Calvin is the only team I’d have beaten this week, but I’ll take it.
-
I made it close but couldn’t finish dammit. Nice win Tempo
