Last Second Decisions – Fantasy Somnambulism

September 29, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, Last Second Decisions | 160 Comments

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.

Please, blog, may I have some more?

Last Second Decisions – Everyone Is Questionable!

September 22, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, Last Second Decisions | 184 Comments

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.

Last Second Decisions – Overreaction Week

September 15, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, Last Second Decisions | 131 Comments

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.

Last Second Decisions – It’s Good To Be Back Baby!

Razzball Nation!  It’s so good to be back to Last Second Decisions entering it’s glorious third season.

Oh how I love Sunday mornings.  Got the fridge loaded, debating pizza toppings, and watching NFL pregame for like – 8 straight hours.  It’s like what Rush Limbaugh had to do after spouting off some nonsense about Donovan McNabb.  Notice McNabb isn’t bolded!  Oh how I feel I’m growing old…

I know what you’re thinking… Why the eff are we talking Donovan McNabb?!  Man I’m going off the rails.  Rein it in.  Is it reign?  Rain?  Time to get serious!  FACT!  If you’re new to Last Second Decisions, it’s my solution for Razzball keeping you up-to-date on our last minute start/sit thoughts and engaged up to the last minute while others just curl up and ignore the masses. Week 1 isn’t as intriguing as the all the following weeks with last minute burning questions, because, well, the only person questionable is Brad Childress.  Man talk about way too many Vikings references from 2009.  Is the Lake Minnetonka Cruise still afloat, or is Moe Williams having to shit in a plastic bag yet?  At least it’s not a closet, right Najeh Davenport!?

Last Second Decisions Week 16 – Championship Edition

Unlike a real champion, I’m mad and not going to re-trace my steps for this awesome open I wrote.  Friggin’ Word crashed when I went to save!  Typical.  It’s as if I was going against Matt Ryan, Roddy White, and Calvin Johnson last night.  I just feel defeated.  Let’s just get into my picks: Here’s […]

Last Second Decisions Week 15 – Getting Hit By A Semi

December 16, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Football, Last Second Decisions | 45 Comments

by:

The semis are here for fantasy football playoffs, and it’s the most interesting week of the year in my opinion.  I don’t know why, but my most memorable stories seem to happen in the semis.  Maybe it’s because I seem to lose in the championship more often than not… There’s the big news that RGIII […]

Last Second Decisions Week 14 – Fantasy Land Gets Myers-ed

 Playoffs baby!  In a stunning late push in the Razzball Writer’s League, I was able to sneak into 6th place. And what do I get for my late season surge? A one-catch. 7-yard performance from Brandon Myers… The march into the playoffs is great in fantasy football, but nothing is more frustrating than your key, […]

Last Second Decisions With Tommy Chong: JB’s Not Here, Man

Hey all, it’s Tommy Chong…er, Sky.  You might remember me from such hits as ‘Weekly Rankings: The One Where I Get Everything Wrong’ and ‘Buy/Sell: You Want Me To Do WHAT To Get Jonathan Stewart?!?’.  With JB out traveling home from his Thanksgiving foofaraw, I’m stepping in to at least handle last minute start/sit questions.  […]

Last Second Decisions Week 11 – The Final Good (or bad) Bye (week)

November 18, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Football, Last Second Decisions | 64 Comments

by:

Bye weeks can be either a blessing or a curse for fantasy owners.  Sometimes the byes can give you a much-needed edge over a superior team missing their studs, but sometimes they weed out a few of your players each week while your opponent loses no one, decimating your record. Either way, the bye weeks […]

Last Second Decisions Week 10 – No More Political Ads!

November 11, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Football, Last Second Decisions | 44 Comments

by:

The election is finally over.  As someone that doesn’t want to pay my cable company for DVR (they charge an additional $15!  I’ll just play on my phone for two minutes, thank you very much.), I couldn’t be happier that there are no more political ads.  They just don’t make sense to me.  You’re going […]
