2010 Finders Keepers Champion

After a hard fought inaugural season of the Finders Keepers Rotisserie league, I finally came out on top. This is the first year of keeper league that is based on contracts to define the ability to keep players from year to year. There are a lot of kinks to iron out in order to prevent… Read More »

Found the ‘Zone’

On league night Monday, I reached the ‘Zone’ where peace and tranquility result in effortless shots that were bang-on. I shot a 2-under 68 on Goose-Moors at Conestoga. Between 9 on Goose and 5 on Moors, I had 6 consecutive birdies! The final birdie was on the 180yd par 3 on Moors. I struck a… Read More »

My Golf Game sucks less

Well a few weeks ago, and rightly so, I mentioned my game stinks. Well, it stinks less since I realized I hadn’t been shifting my weight to the front on contact. Now it is shaping up. Last week I won low gross in the league and in the past 2 weeks I’ve won skins that… Read More »

2009 FFB Champion of the World!

Yes, I have re-acquired the coveted Dick Butkiss Tropy as the champion of the Monday Morning QB Fantasy Football League. It has been three years since the trophy has resided in my home. And the timing couldn’t be any better. The last time I won it, Olivia was the same age as Christien, and she… Read More »

Playoff Week #2

So let’s recap what I thought were the Key Factors leading into this week’s matchup against the #1 team in the division: he has 3 NE players: Brady, Moss nad RB Lynch. In Buffalo. Weather may play a huge factor for yet another team that has the ‘overload on one team and ride them to… Read More »

Playoff Week #1

Well, against my instincts – I ended up demolishing my week 1 opponent. Even though his big three in Baltimore went nuts against a weak Detroit defence. It was frustrating at the time to turn to that game and see bizarre play after bizarre play that resulted in huge outings for him. Thankfully the pain… Read More »

The inevitability of finishing strong

In the first season and only season that I won the H2H football league, I won the championship. Even though I managed to sneak into the playoffs. The plus side was that I had a healthy team and *probably* had really good matchups for my players. I can’t remember. Ignorance is bliss. The next two… Read More »

The end of the season

After starting the season 6-2 and posting on this site the overwhelming win in week 8 where I topped the century mark, the remainder of the season took a nosedive. Just when the team was looking unbeatable, I took injuries to my top QB and my top RB and there was no way to stop… Read More »

Hockey and stuff

Last Saturday I spent a VERY rare moment watching a bit of the hockey. There was a big hub-bub in both Montreal and T.O. around the retirement of 2 jersey numbers: 33 and 17 respectively. It’s funny, I was a HUGE fan back in the 80’s and into the early 90’s. Patrick Roy was a… Read More »

Benchmark set

In 2006, I won the fantasy football pool. Still trying so hard to win the baseball pool, but that’s a different story. It’s clear to me that I’m a little better judge of football talent as it pertains to fantasy. Correction, I think I’m better in a dynasty environment were I can pluck out the… Read More »
