2013 RCL FootballWeek 4 of RCL action is in the books, and it was a big scoring week with the big outputs from the Prime Time games, so a lot of teams have made big strides in climbing up the leader board.  If you still haven’t taken a gander yet, we’ve got the full interactive 2013-2014 RCL Standings tab up under “Leagues” that shows you how you’re stacking up against your Razzball competitors in your journey to RCL glory.

RCL Top ScorerTOP SCORER: Well it was a heart stopper indeed with the Heart Stoppers crushing the RCL ecosystem this week from the Hernandez Hit Men league, putting up 217.02 points in an epic week amongst elite weeks.  A team featuring Brees, Gonzo, Foster, is always going to have a chance to score it big, but it was the surprise big game from Nate Washington and the solid streaming move of the Colts D against the Jags that put the Stoppers over the top(pers).  Despite the huge week, the Stoppers move to 2-2 and only 7th place, with scott’s Team the only undefeated squad left in the Hit Men league.  Everyone put a bounty on scott!  Congrats again Heart Stoppers for becoming an RCL legend!

Happy Sunday, Razzball Nation!  If you’re like me, waking up for Sunday during football season is a morning filled with hope, dreams, optimism.  Then you go nuts in your head thinking, “what if the Panthers actually do win?”  Then they just shellac the Giants, and I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone.  Maybe because I am a fantasy nerd (all people who put “expert” after fantasy in the terminology are kidding themselves – NERDS!!!), I sometimes dream about sports – and typically about vastly skewed numbers.  What, T.Y. Hilton got 223 Yards and 4 TDs?!  Something like that.  So while my Panthers put up a scoreline that I literally couldn’t even subconsciously comprehend, I had a fantasy team in my dynasty league put up the lowest score I’ve ever had in 10+ years.  It was like being a few levels deep in Inception.  I may never make it out alive!  Save me, Leo!  Save me!

Here’s to a week where things balance back out to normal, Roddy White getting over a bum ankle, Ray Rice being able to gut it out, and everything else fantasy owners need to right their sinking ships.

Week 3 was such a see-saw for me.  Like a Roseanne Barr vs. Vince Wilfork see-saw.  On the one hand, my Panthers had probably the most shocking win so far this season after that Giants beat down, especially since the Giants beat us 36-7 last year.  That’s a see-saw right there!  Then my writer’s league team moved to 3-0.  On the flip side, my long-time dynasty league had probably my worst week in over 10 years and my DraftKings picks, well, sorry…

But whilst real life hath few second chances, DraftKings gives you a blank slate, a fresh start, a new set of wings.  Because every time Colin Kaepernick sucks it up, an angel loses its wings.  I kid Kappy!  I was just hoping he would favorite that too

2013 RCL FootballAnother great week of RCL action has wrapped up, as the undefeated herd thins with fewer 0-loss teams.  If you still haven’t taken a gander yet, we’ve got the full interactive 2013-2014 RCL Standings tab up under “Leagues” that shows you how you’re stacking up against your Razzball competitors in your journey to RCL glory.

 

RCL Top ScorerTOP SCORER:  In a slightly down week of scoring across RCLs, Puttin on the Fitz of the Rancho Rajneesh topped the RCL field with 187.84 points and crushing the other 299 teams.  Nice work Fitz!  Crazy as that is, he even had Daryl Richardson put up a zero in his flex, but with no other double-digit scorers on his bench, he wouldn’t have topped 200 anyway.  The Matt Prater game last night shot Fitz into the RCL lead by only 0.22 points!  Led by huge weeks from Antonio Brown, DeMarco Murray and Jimmy Graham, all common players on top teams this week, Fitz moves to 2-1 and second in the league.  With another big week, ReadOptionForDummies moves into second overall in the RCL standings at 3-0.  It should be a tough battle between those two for supremacy atop the Rajneesh!

Oh man, how one single week can change everything!  After looking like a team that was toast in another heartbreaking loss, my Carolina Panthers went beast mode on the Giants in the biggest shutout smack down in our team’s history.  He Hate Me!  So much fun.  And with that shot of adrenaline, the entire Razzball Podcast family was healthy and ready for action this week, with Nick and I breaking down action in the NFC and DraftKings, Jaywrong and Nick going over what the H happened to Jay’s Chargers and the rest of the AFC, Murph bringing us the carnage report on this week’s injuries, and Sky telling you who to nab off the wire.  Good luck to everyone tonight if your game is hinging on Monday Night Football and good luck in week 4!

Well, despite it only being a measly three weeks into the season, it feels like every owner is dealing with a handful of questionables in their line-ups this morning – much to the chagrin to those of us wanting to pregame like we’re in college for our noon football game.  And to those of us with guys in late games.  I mean, c’mon I don’t want to have to watch Chris Berman for three straight hours to get reports on who’s playing!  Although, I wouldn’t mind listening to him on commercial breaks…

It’s already gotten into that time of year when you have to make last second decisions based on news reports coming out mere hours before kickoff.  Right now, I’m torn on Larry Fitzgerald.  Sure everything points to him playing, but is this another Roddy White limited game?  I’m moving Fitz down a few pegs.  And past Fitz there’s a whole Seattle slew of other guys with question marks we will know more about (but still not enough) as we approach kick-off.  That’s why we have the comments section!  I’ll be here all morning with my thoughts on your line-up decisions, along with some picks below.

Well week 2 is in the books, and many fantasy players’ hopes and dreams have been crushed by the really big fantasy disappointments piling up.  David Wilson?  Should’ve listened to me!  Maurice Jones-Drew? Yikes, what a terrible team.  Roddy White? Dude, he’s killing me too.  Let them take HGH again pro sports!

So how do you get out of the fantasy dumps and either win back your league dues or get back into that winning spirit with an underwhelming RCL team?  DraftKings is here with your fantasy blues forget-me-nows, with huge weekly contests like their SUNDAY QUARTER MILLION contest!  The top winner nabs $25 grand and the other three top winners get awarded tickets into their huge Fantasy Millionaire Grand Finale contest which will wrap up the season on week 17 and crown someone a millionaire.  For playing fantasy football!  If you’re looking for something close to the Razzball Contest we did over at baseball, they’ve got an awesome $20,000 FLEA FLICKER – which is what I played in last week – for only $5 where you can win the top prize of $1,500 bucks and a coveted entry into the Millionaire Grand Finale.  The prizes are huge at DraftKings football so go out and win Razzball Nation some money!

2013 RCL FootballWeek 2 has wrapped up with another huge week of RCL Football action.  If you haven’t seen it yet, we’ve got the full interactive 2013-2014 RCL Standings tab up under “Leagues” that shows you how you’re stacking up against the Razzball competish in your journey to RCL glory.  It ranks teams by RCL points, which is the gold elixir of truth determining the RCL winner.  If you are confused by the scoring parameters, scroll down to the bottom of the standings for a full explanation.

RCL Top ScorerTOP SCORER: Congratulations to Chris Schultz’s Team for putting up the most RCL points this week.  Leading through Sunday as well and getting the Podcast shout out, Schultz dumped all over The Shituation Room with 213.56 points in a nearly 120-point defeat over the meat curtains.  What are these curtains, Vegan?  Disgusting!  Schultz’s entire roster came through with the only single-digit scorer his kicker, with big games from DeSean Jackson, Julio Jones, Jimmy Graham and Marshawn Lynch.  Unfortunately for Schultz, he only moves into third place after a brutal week 1 where he didn’t top 100 points.  One Potato Two moves into first place and will look to go to 3-0 against one of the multiple Heisenberg squads.  There’s just so much bad breaking!  Awesome job this week Chris, and hopefully your guys keep it up into week 3!

Well, it was about as bad a week 2 as it could get.  Desperately needing some offense from anyone besides Marshawn Lynch, the 49ers/Seahawks game turned out to be a dud and my terrible Panthers found yet another way to lose.  Lucky for me, David Wilson was awful yet again, finally putting the nail in the coffin for Nick’s hot tub.  In a great twist of irony, the NY David Wilson’s face the horrible Panthers in week 3 and I actually think he’s an upside flex play.  It’s over with now.  Fin.  Nick and I then go over all of week 2’s final scores and break down our thoughts, I recap the RCL top scorer through Sunday, and Sky and Murph bring us some waiver pickups and the carnage report.  Good luck to everyone tonight if your game is hinging on Monday Night Football and good luck in week 3!

A week is in the books and it’s time to absolutely freak out.  Tom Brady is horrible, time to drop him for Terrelle Pryor!

Like a GOP reaction to Obama having his foot on the Oval Office desk, then the subsequent overreaction to the jokes about overreactions, there’s been a lot of drama to overreactions.  Chill out people!  It’d be like a biologist getting all angry because that’s not what the Fox really says… Idea!  Colbert cuts that video with Fox News people freaking out over the gobbledygook in the chorus.  Comedy gold.

Point is – don’t worry about tough week ones and keep playing your studs.  Barring a late scratch I’m still playing Roddy White, who despite the bum ankle and only out there as a “decoy,” still got a red zone catch and I think gets more involved.  I’m not benching him for some scrub, but he does obviously move down a few spots.

2013 RCL FootballWeek 1 is in the books!  Thanks to everyone coming out and joining the RCL community.  The official count is 276 RCL teams plus another 12 from Sky’s Expert League and the 12 in our Razzball Writer’s League.  Whoa!  An equal 300.  I feel like we are all wearing togas with spray painted abs.  Blaine Gabbert is like, “my errant passes will block out the sun!” And Andy Reid and the Chiefs say they’ll play in the shade.  It is Arrowhead after all…

Sorry again I wasn’t able to get on the pod to give the RCL top-scorer through Sunday an on-air shout out; Nick was curled up in the corner with his poutines and a bottle of Canadian Club while David Wilson threw up a negative.  “I just can’t even take hearing it from JB again for a whole ‘nother year!”  We’ll get the “technical difficulties” we had this week sorted out, so field the best week 2 team for glory.  This is Sparta!
