WOW! Talk about a bad weekend ... I spent 12hrs flying to Atlanta on Sunday (with a 3+hr layover in Philly) and then have to see how horrid my Sunday had gone ... I went 4-9 on Sunday in ESPN's Pigskin Pick 'Em and ended up losing my FFL match by 60+pts ... SWEET!!! :P
So lets take a look at this weekend's fantasy matches ...
Demmel crushes Da Gun (138-72) -- ABSOLUTE DOMINATION! Demmel woulda beat me with only Brady, Rodgers, & Wayne (who combined for 73pts) ... At this point, my only shot of remaining fantasy relevent is for the Phockers to defeat Gellis, as then the 6th (and final) playoff spot would be a 5-5 team. On the other hand, Demmel has secured the 3rd seed going into the final 3 regular season games.
J$ has all but earned a "W" over Snapp (102-52) -- Unless Flacco can score 50+pts tonight, then Snapp will fall to 5-5 and into a dogfight for the final playoff spot. Snapp - I feel your pain, dawg! ... With this victory, Jilbert secures his place in the playoff hunt, as he will end up in 5th or 6th place after tonight, depending on the outcome of the Gold Club v. Phockers match.
Mad Dog leads SoCal Strikers (111-87) -- With the division lead on the line, Chad needs Mason to score 35pts. for the "W" ... It's possible, expecially if Flacco goes for 50! ;) ... Dropping the Cincy D (for BUF D?!?) may cost Chad at the end of the day. CIN D scored 19pts. on Sunday, which Chad coulda really used ... And credit to Murphy?!?! Eeehhhh, not really ... He didn't start any particularly crazy players (i.e. Burton starting Vick). In fact, if I was to say anything, I would point out the fact that you left Sidney Rice (23pts) on your bench.
Phockers hold marginal lead over Gold Club (108-97) -- With only Ray Rice yet to play, this fantasy matchup has all kinds of playoff implications ... If Felicia wins, it's a 9-team playoff race (with Felicia a mere 1-game back from the playoff race) ... If Gellis gets the "W", I can start focusing on fantasy bball (Anyone want to trade up for the #2 pick in the 2010 Draft?)
Raiders cruising past Burtonics (128-86) -- With Willis McGahee (Seriously Burton?!?! Starting Willis McGahee?!?!?) left to (technicall) play tonight, can I just call this one now? McGahee hasn't had double-digit carries since Week 2.
That's all I got for now ...

NDHFFL Week 10 Preview
Since the first NFL game of the week is played on Thursday night, I have to get Da Schwamz preview & analysis completed today ...
With 4 weeks left in the regular (fantasy) season, here is how the playoff picture is shaping up ...
- Wes holds a commanding 2-game lead in the Northend Division
- There is a wild 4-team race for the Southside Division title
- 7 teams is a race for 6 playoff spots
- Felicia still has an outside shot at making the playoffs
- Da Gun is looking to play spoiler in the last month of the fantasy regular season
- Burton is now researching who to pick in 2010 ... AP or Peyton?!?
Now lets have Da Schwam take a look at the Week 10 matchups ...
Demmelitions (5-4) vs. Da Gun (2-7) -- In this 1st (of 2) inter-division matchups late in the season, this represents my best shot of making the playoffs ... QBs - Slight edge to Demmel with Peyton & Rodgers, but just slightly as I have Brees (@STL) & Matty Ice (although recently the "Ice" moniker is not a good one) ... WRs - Even without AJ this weekend, Demmel should still have the edge here with Wayne, Driver, +1. That's a better trio than whichever 3 receivers I start this weekend ... RBs - I think I have a slight edge in the backfield this weekend with S-Jax & Frenchy starting. Well, at least, better than Addai & Thomas Jones ... SpT - Pretty Even across the board here ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> NO PICK!
Snapp Attack (5-4) vs. J$ (5-4) -- This is a big game for both squads with huge playoff implications! ... QBs - This matchup is all over the place, as all 4 projected starters are gambles this weekend. For Snapp, we have Flacco (@CLE, where he could throw for 5TDs or none as Rice has a huge day) & Palmer (@PIT ... Top D ... Nuf said!), while Jilbert has Cutler (@SF ... Does the SF D show up?) & Alex Smith (v.CHI ... Again, does the D show up?). If I had to pick a winner from these 2 sides, I would have to go with Snapp's duo. I just do not trust the CHI @ SF game to put up many points ... WRs - Tie here with (Snapp) Colston, Santonio, & Braylon vs. (Jilbert) Roddy, Jennings, & Santana ... RBs - I don't like MB3's inconsistency & the Jags have been hit or miss on the road this season. Plus, Jilbert has CJ & AP ... Advantage J$! ... SpT - Even matchup here ... I like Davis this week (for Snapp), but Jilbert has the PIT D ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> J$ KICKS SOME ASS!
SoCal Strikers (6-3) vs. Mad Dog (6-3) -- WOW! Murphy at 6-3 and in the playoff hunt! What is this fantasy world coming to?!?! ... QBs - (Chad) Warner & Big Ben at home this weekend ... Advantage Chad! ... WRs - I think this may be key positional matchup this weekend, between these 2 squads. I think its close, but if I had to pick a side, I would choose Mad Dog with DeSean, Austin, & Randy Moss. That trio is simply better than "Southern" Steve Smith, V-Jax, & Mason ... RBs - I gotta go with Murphy's backfield of Turner & Moreno over Chad's duo of Forte & Hightower ... SpT - WOW! Talk about the stars aligning here ... Murphy has got studs at both TE (Dallas Clark) & DEF (NO D @ STL) this weekend ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> MAD DOG IN A HARD FOUGHT MATCH!
Gellis (5-4) vs. Phockers (3-6) -- First off, I refuse to call Gellis, Phil Ivey! Now, "RIP Aerosmith"?!? You gotta check your facts (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8355485.stm) ... "Your momma call you Gold Club, I'm gonna call you Gold Club!" ... QBs - Advantage Gellis! But not by as wide of a margin as one would think. I see Rivers vs. Hasselbeck being about even, which would leave Favre vs. Campbell. Favre has a cake matchup (v.DET), while Campbell faces Denver (at home, coming off a Bye). I'll give it to Favre, but not by much, imho ... WRs - I'll call this matchup even! (Felicia) Housh, Welker, Ward vs. (Gellis) Fitzgerald, Coles, MSW ... RBs - Gellis has the edge here with whatever 2 RBs (out of Rice, Gore, Benson) he decides to start. For La Chica, LT is looking old, while Ronnie remains consistently inconsistent ... SpT - Gellis gets the edge here with another nice DEF flier. This week it is the MIA D (v.TB) ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> GELLIS!
Raiders (7-2) vs. Burtonics (1-8) -- Not even worth my time ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> RAMSHAFTS RAIDERS IN A BLOWOUT!
Please don't forget that the first NFL game of Week 10 is CHI @ SF on Thursday evening with a 5:20pm kickoff.
Also, the trade deadline is fast approaching (11/20) , so please plan accordingly ...
That's all I got for now ...

NDHFFL Week 9 In-Review
With Week 9 now in the books, the fantasy playoff picture is becoming clear ... Wes has nearly a full two-game lead in the Northend Division, while Chad currently leads a foursome of contenders in the Southside Division!
And now, it's time for Da Schwam to give his take on the fantasy matchups from Week 9 ...
Strikers cruise past Da Gun (117-98) ... Led by Warner & Big Ben, who combined for 8TDs, Chad all but eliminated any hopes I had of making the playoffs with his victory this weekend. Da Gun had some nice flier performances from JJ & Breaston, but my core group (Brees & Matty Ice) just didn't perform on Sunday ... I'm in no way giving up, especially since I have 4 division games left to play (i.e. Beware of Playoff Spoiler)!!!
Demmelitions outlast Snapp Attack (113-94) ... At the end of the weekend, Demmel's superstars (Rodgers, Brady, & Addai) performed, while Snapp's boyz (Flacco & Colston) just simply did not! Snapp did make a nice flier pickup of SEA D (22pts) to keep the match close, but just didn't have enough quality at the end of the day.
J$ crushes Burtonics (147-35) ... With his absolute humiliation of Burton, Jilbert surged to 2nd place in his division. Meanwhile, Burton continues his journey towards the overall #1 pick in next year's fantasy draft ... REALLY! REALLY?!?! That's your Week 9 lineup?!? You pick up a K on Sunday morning (and place him in your lineup), but then leave Marshall, Portis, & Slaton on your bench, while starting Cooley (Ankle), Westbrook (Concussion), & McGahee (No carries) ... REALLY!!?!
Mad Dog outlasts Gellis (140-130) ... Gellis just couldn't muster the dozen points his team needed to win on MNF (with Orton scoring a measly 1pt). On the other side, Murphy had an absolutely terrific weekend with 7 players in double-digits.
Phockers lose the 2nd home & home match to the Raiders (120-103) ... And with this win, Wes is sleeping on the couch for the next week :) ... But seriously, Wes is like the real Colts or Saints, as now his squad is doing just enough to win each week. The Phockers fall to 3-6 with the slightest window still open to the playoffs for the ex-champ.
Da Schwam went 3-1 this weekend (20-16 overall) ... I'm still alive in my Eliminator league (and looking at either Vikes or Ravens for Week 10) ... I fell out of the 99th percentile (currently, 98.8) in my Pigskin Pick 'Em game, where I am now 77-58 for the season.
I will take a look at the upcoming Week 10 matchups later this week ...

NDHFFL Week 9 Preview
It's time for Da Schwam (who is 17-15 overall this season) to take a look at the Week 9 Matchups ...
Strikers (5-3) vs. Da Gun (2-6) -- Great! I need to make a run if I have any hope of making the playoffs and I get the SoCal Strikers ... I think my lineup has as good a chance as any to pull-off the "W", but I thought that last weekend ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> NO PICK (Pete Rose Rule)
Snapp Attack (5-3) vs. Demmelitions (4-4) -- How will Demmel rebound after what can be considered the "bonehead move of the season" in Week 8? ... Here is what happened ... Demmel used his waiver position to pick-up Ryan Fitzpatrick as a 1-week flier & dropped Sanchez, with whom, he would have won and been atop the Southend Division ... REALLY DEMMEL!! REALLY!!! In what universe would you start Fitzpatrick over Sanchez?!? ... Anyway, onto Week 9 ... QBs - I'll pick Demmel here with Rodgers & Brady, although I do think Flacco & Palmer (Snapp Attack QBs) will make this matchup a lot closer than it appears to be on paper ... WRs - Again Demmel (with AJ, Wayne, & Driver) over Colston, Holmes, & Knox (for Snapp). I mean, Demmel has 3 Top-10 receivers starting! That's tough to beat. Also, I'm not a big Knox fan, but he is better than Roy "I'm Big-D's #1 WR" Williams! ... RBs - Snapp is best here (with MB3 & MJD)! Snapp has a quality combo that is better than Demmel's duo of Kevin "Not the Clerks Guy" Smith & whoever else ... SpT - I give a slight edge to Snapp here, with the list of Indy defensive injuries growing each day, and a hot Vernon Davis at home this weekend ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> "Demmelitions in a very close, competitive match!"
J$ (4-4) vs. Burtonics (1-7) -- Do I even try and analyze this matchup or do I just continue to believe in the absolute fantasy incompetence of the Burtonics franchise?!? ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> "J$ in a route!"
Mad Dog (5-3) vs. Adam "I won't call you Phil Ivery" Gellis (5-3) -- Seriously, Gellis?? SERIOUSLY??? At most, I would call you Jamie Gold!!!! Or what about Burton as Darvin Moon? ... Anywho, lets get back to some FFL action ... QBs - Advantage Gellis! Orton & Hasselbeck over Murphy's Garrard & Stafford! ... WRs - This is the positional matchup of the weekend, imho ... (Murph) DeSean, Miles Austin, & Randy Moss vs. (Gellis) "Big City" Steve Smith, Fitzy, & MSW ... Great positional matchup! I'm callin this one even ... I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy! ... RBs - Edge Gellis (with Ray Rice & Gore) over Murph (with BJ & Turner) ... SpT - I give Mad Dog a slight edge here, since I think he has a better TE (Dallas Clark over a struggling Witten) ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> "JAMIE GOLD WINS THE 2006 WSOP!!!
Raiders (6-2) vs. Phockers (3-5) -- In the 2nd leg of this "True" Home & Home Matchup, you can throw out the pre-game analysis. This is a derby match, in the truest sense of the term ... QBs - Advanatage Raiders (with Peyton & Donovan) over the Phockers (Schaub & Rivers) ... WRs - Advantage Felicia, especially with the injury concern surrounding Wes's Manningham ... RBs - Gotta go Raiders here! I do not trust any of the Phockers' backfield options (LT, Ronnie Brown, & Reggie Kardashian-Bush) ... SpT - Pretty fair matchup this weekend ... SCHWAMI SAYZ --> "Ramshaft Raiders win!"
Here are some fun links to some current events ...

If the NDHFFL was "The League" ...
So I saw the pilot episode of the new FX show, "The League", and thought I'd do a little comparison to our league ...
http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/theleague/aboutTheShow.php
Pete (Me) - Not the greatest of fits, but they would have to be fantasy contenders each & every year.
Ruxin (Gellis or Snapp) - The guy in the league who will go to any length to gain a fantasy edge.
Taco (Burton) - I think in our league, Burton would be our Taco, especially after his "Speed of Burton" fantasy moves this season.
Andre (Jilbert or Murphy) - Both are contending for the title of worst fantasy player in the history of our league.
Jenny (Felicia) - I guess it only makes sense that Felicia would be our league's Jenny
Kevin (Wes or Demmel) - I guess that would make Wes, our Kevin, but I could also see Kevin (who Pete harasses about his wife, Jenny, actually running their team) being Demmel ... I mean how do we know that it hasn't been Robyn playing all these years?!?!
"Auto-drafters" (Chad & Demmel) - They make mention on the show of members in the league who are not present at the draft ... Thus, I would put Chad & Demmel in this category ... I mean, I think I talk to these guys maybe 2 times a year (once to make sure they are in the league & once to collect their $$).
Go check out the ep and let me know what you think ...

NDHFFL Week 8 In-Review
Da Schwam had a bad weekend all-the-way-around ... 1st losing week in Pigskin Pick 'Em (went 6-7 this weekend, against the spread) ... 1-3 in my FFL Predictions (17-15 in 2009) ... And the Shogunate fell to 2-6 for the season, which means I pretty much need to run the table these next 5 weeks to have a chance at the playoffs!
Snapp outlast Da Gun (117-96) -- UUUGGGGHHHH! Good game for Snapp as he is now firmly entrenched in the playoff picture (5-3) after his victory over my struggling fantasy squad.
J$ destroys the Phockers (149-76) -- "Welcome back to fantasy relevance, Chris Johnson!" ... Talk about a return to glory for Jilbert's boyz ... 7 starters in double-digits ... Jennings comes back to life ... I'm still not a big fan of his QB situation, but Jilbert should remain in the hunt with his backfield. The Phockers loss still leaves me 2 games out of the playoff pic, so that is good, i guess?!?
Raiders dealt crushing loss at the hands of Mad Dog (109-88) -- Wes's previous iron-clad grip atop the league table, seems to be fading quickly, as his lead has slipped to a mere 1-game (with four 5-3 teams nipping at his heels). It's not that Murphy had a great weekend, but more that Raiders' chinks are starting to show ... Manningham was inactive this past Sunday ... Owen Daniels is out for the season ... Wes picked up Holt on Sunday morning, but then played him instead of Shiancoe (when he shoulda started Holt in place of Manny, as his inactive status was known on Sunday morning, prior to 10am).
SoCal Strikers crush Burtonics (110-63) -- Burton does his best Dan Snyder impression by making a huge trade for Bulger & Slaton and then doesn't spend the time on Sunday to place them in the lineup ... Now I know it wouldn't have made a difference in the end score, but it does show a level of fantasy incompetence. If Burton loses this weekend (Week 9), he may be all but mathematically out of the playoff pic.
Gellis is the division leader after his defeat of the Demmelitions (123-105) -- This victory was won with the wiley pick-up of CHI D on Sunday morning by Gellis ... On the flipside, Demmel may have lost this weekend with his last minute move to pick-up Fitzpatrick (over Sanchez ... REALLY?!?!).
Anyway, that's it for this week (... good riddance) ... Now onto Week 9!

Snapp outlast Da Gun (117-96) -- UUUGGGGHHHH! Good game for Snapp as he is now firmly entrenched in the playoff picture (5-3) after his victory over my struggling fantasy squad.
J$ destroys the Phockers (149-76) -- "Welcome back to fantasy relevance, Chris Johnson!" ... Talk about a return to glory for Jilbert's boyz ... 7 starters in double-digits ... Jennings comes back to life ... I'm still not a big fan of his QB situation, but Jilbert should remain in the hunt with his backfield. The Phockers loss still leaves me 2 games out of the playoff pic, so that is good, i guess?!?
Raiders dealt crushing loss at the hands of Mad Dog (109-88) -- Wes's previous iron-clad grip atop the league table, seems to be fading quickly, as his lead has slipped to a mere 1-game (with four 5-3 teams nipping at his heels). It's not that Murphy had a great weekend, but more that Raiders' chinks are starting to show ... Manningham was inactive this past Sunday ... Owen Daniels is out for the season ... Wes picked up Holt on Sunday morning, but then played him instead of Shiancoe (when he shoulda started Holt in place of Manny, as his inactive status was known on Sunday morning, prior to 10am).
SoCal Strikers crush Burtonics (110-63) -- Burton does his best Dan Snyder impression by making a huge trade for Bulger & Slaton and then doesn't spend the time on Sunday to place them in the lineup ... Now I know it wouldn't have made a difference in the end score, but it does show a level of fantasy incompetence. If Burton loses this weekend (Week 9), he may be all but mathematically out of the playoff pic.
Gellis is the division leader after his defeat of the Demmelitions (123-105) -- This victory was won with the wiley pick-up of CHI D on Sunday morning by Gellis ... On the flipside, Demmel may have lost this weekend with his last minute move to pick-up Fitzpatrick (over Sanchez ... REALLY?!?!).
Anyway, that's it for this week (... good riddance) ... Now onto Week 9!

Looking back at Week 8 'N Da Hood ...
With only MNF left to play, lets take a look at the Week 8 fantasy results up 'til now ...
Snapp has comfortable lead over Da Gun heading into MNF (103-49) -- With (Snapp) Colston vs. (Ebo) Ryan, Brees, & Frenchy, I think that my squad is definitely behind the 8-ball, but don't count me out yet.
J$ cruising to an easy victory over the Phockers (132-69) -- With (J$) Roddy vs. (Felicia) Shockey tonight, Jilbert has all but locked up a "W" this weekend ... "Welcome back to fantasy relevance, Chris Johnson!"
Raiders hold tenious lead over Mad Dog (87-71) -- What happened to the Raiders' lineup? I saw that Manningham was inactive and then I saw Wes pick-up Holt ... But then you start Holt & Manny (instead of Shiancs & Holt). In the end, it would only be a 7pt difference, but that could be crucial with Murphy having Turner & NO D playing tonight.
Strikers maintain comfortable lead over Burtonics (102-63) -- Not that it makes a difference, but what is Burton doing with his team ... He trades for Slaton & Bulger, but then doesn't play them.
Gellis defeats Demmelitions (123-105) -- With this victory, Gellis should see himself move atop the Southside Division (with a 3-1 Div Record, Gellis should be the division leader going into Week 9 with the Overall Pts Advantage).
That's all I got for now ...
