Gooses Fantasy Draft Team Review
A long time ago a man who lived in a trailer park and creeped out small children in North Carolina began a tradition of doing a Post Draft team review. In his honor I will try to do my best to fill his shoes. BK. Here we go.
According to League settings all teams make the playoffs. So congrats!!!! You are all in regardless of how crappy you drafted
2.0
Coach 2.0
Predicted Finish 3rd
Great sleeper pick at QB. Solid RB's and Joe, Im pround of you for taking the 1st defense. Moss is quality at WR but any Detroit WR is a big question mark. you do have the best TE in the league but his numbers may suffer with Philip "Rolling on the" Rivers. Depth is ok. Gore may be a bigger pick than some would think
Big Bens Jawbreakers
Coach Goose
Predicted Finish 4th
I'll probably be toughest on myself. I like my RB's and Im good at WR. Im still pissed at MCP over Santana Moss. I'm a little weary of my QB situation but I've done well with solid and steady QB's before. Who knows. As a Backup maybe this is Vicks big year. McGahee and Benson are going to have breakout years...and if they do, this will be a top 2 or 3 team. My depth at RB and WR is very good. Why did I draft Chris Brown?
The Disenfranchised
Coach Seatown
Predicted Finish 8th
Seatown. I'll be honest and say on paper Im not really sure about your team. Steve Smith, Fitzgerald and Barber are quality players. Palmer is a big ??? (Though Brees is a good Backup option, he is learning a new offense). Everyone else is ok. If some of your sleepers pan out you will be a force but Im not sure if I see all those 2nd and third tier WR's making a huge impact
Beckenbauer?
Coach Train 2nd
Predicted Finish
Train. I think your team has potential. You have a quality QB. Good RB's and a great defense. Holt will give you numbers at WR. If Plexiglass has a good year in his Up Year Down Year Rollercoaster career your should have a winning starting lineup. Shockey may be the best tight end for stats this year (See 2.0 and Phillip Rivers)Depth could be better Dont forget no matter what happens this season...you've got BUUUUSH!!!
Browncoats
Coach MCP
Predicted Finish 6th
MCP....where to start? Lets go with the positives 1st. You have the BEST trio of WR's in the League in Harrison, Johnson and Moss. You have a great RB that is subject to a Madden curse, but if he stays healty you will have a 20 TD player. Foster may be a good pick but we will have to see. He is very injury prone. You have two good QB's. If either or both of your RB's get hurt you are going to kick yourself for taking a kicker too high, taking two kickers and taking two defenses, in a leauge of only 8 teams. You drafted like a Rookie. Lets see if you can make up for it by working the waiver wire this season.

Coach Jimbo
Predicted Finish 1st
Jimbo. Love the Steven Jackson pick. You look good in all your starting slots. Len White may be a great sleeper for you. You have good backups at RB and WR. Although I think you may move Walker to a starter before the end of Preseason. You are one of the top three teams. Just pray that Matt stays healthy
Stay off Hawks Wagon
Coach "The Dude"
Predicted Finish 7th
Dude. You will probably end up #1 or #8 in the league. Your team outside of Manning and Boldin is riddled with Sleepers. A bold move that may pay off. Williams and Parkers are both starting RB's on playoff contending teams. Addai, Evans, and White are big componants in their respective teams. Leftwich can be used for a solid Bye Week when Manning is out. Our Trade his to a desperate team needing a QB. Sadly that could be me.
Velveteen Diablos
Coach Devin/Devo/"Yes Boldin has already been picked 8 rounds ago"
Predicted Finish 5th
Duke. You stated the draft strong and fizzled at the end. Kind of like MCP on his one date every 4 years. (Is MCP the World Cup of the Lodge dating world?).
Tomlinson, Jones, Owens (If he doesnt implode your team) Brady, D-Jack and Heap make for a solid core. Elam was a big strech. The last few picks did nothing to help you. You too will need to use the waiver wire early in the season.
Thursday Kickoff is in 23 days!!!!!!

I don't like the pressure of the #1 pick, and how long before 2.0 advocates that he has a way better team?...over under: 9:45
Always the bridesmaid for me. Hopefully the BUSH can take me to the promise land.
There was somewhat a method to my madness when it came to my draft picks.
This draft was only the second Fantasyu Football team I've ever put together, so I based a lot of my decisions from things I learned last year. And doing that is where I made my mistake(s).
The reason I drafted 2 Defenses and 2 Kickers is because the league I was in last time only had 2 waiver wire drafts all year. So I figured I need backups for every single postition.
Stupid? Yeah. And it's totally my fault. So, live and learn I guess.
I'm still gonna finish higher than 6th though...
I loved the look on MCP's face last night when I told him we have a waiver wire all year long. It was priceless.
Beware, Owens doesn't really have any big health problems, he's just mentally putting himself in sleeper so that he can EXPLODE when the season really gets busy. I consulted with Spock Market traders for this inside info.
There's simply no denying the Spock Market.
Faith be to Spock Market...
I'll be honest....not too sure about my squad this year either.
That being said, I will undoubtedly be just fine...and I will definitely outperform your pitiful prediction.
Oh....and your comment about "maybe this is Vick's big year"...HA. Ron Mexico will only make you tear your hair out the second you try to rely on him. Luckily for you there isn't much to tear out.
And with that, let the smack talk begin.
I've been praying to the newborn 8 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus and he has informed me that when my team wakes up they piss excellence.
I'm glad I took the over on 2.0 claiming his squads excellence...
After hearing the morning news...I think I may have to drop K-Rob and pick up Chuck Norris.
As a teen Chuck Norris impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Nine months later the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in professional football history.
Wow. I log back in and 14 comments already.
Im glad I could provide seatown with some Locker Room Board Material. I tried to be fair but also honest.
Its good to know that Mike Vick is not my starter.
Seatown. Even the #8 team makes the playoffs. so you really have nothing to fear. You could be like Santa Clara beating the Mighty Arizona Wildcats
This season will be won in the waiver wire.
And yes...its a year long waiver wire. Read the frickin rules MCP...Jeez.
Feels like the lodge has awoken from the dog days of summer... As summer gives way to autum winds...( in my best John Facenda voice)
Your team will fold and we will have a new owner before week 5
Great call bringing up Facenda Train
Memorable John Facenda narration: "The clarion call of the Kansas City trumpeter went... unanswered."
Memorable John Facenda narration: "The third quarter was dying... and so were the Colts."
Memorable John Facenda narration: "A Niagra of gold and black... poured down on Roger Staubach."
Memorable John Facenda narration: "By day, the Rams' sparkling spirit kept the game close... but by night, it faded into the black reality of the Pittsburgh Steelers."
You may not want to admit it...but Football is awakening the Lodge. American Football. Pigskin. Blocking and tackling. Bill Walsh Coaching trees.
Tell me you dont get excited over
STEM I RIGHT CLOSE Z PEEL - P 82 F ARROW:
A play-action pass used in Goal Line situations. X and Y run shallow crossing routes hoping to create a rub and pick a LB. Z uses Peel motion and runs 10 yard cross. F runs a flat route and H fakes the inside run. QB uses a 5 step drop. PROGRESSION: F1 , X2, Z3.
must resist temptation.. Can't resist.. the temptation it to great. Must turn on NFL network...
DAMN YOU GOOOSE
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
how can you not love a sport where the play is designed to "create a rub and pick a Linebacker"
FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That play call looks like a cheat code on Contra. Awesome.
I debated putting only 4 teams in the playoffs... but this way parody will play a big part throughout the year and MCP can still sniff the playoffs after Kickergate.
Devo did start strong and finish poorly. He followed directions in not picking a TE until after round 10 but obviously both Devin & Casey thought that NFL fantasy football commercial was serious.
To be honest, outside of my last two picks, I'm actually very happy with my roster. If I did it again, I'd probably still have taken my first kicker early, but just not as early.
Hey now, I think I did great thank you very much. Considering coming in with no current football knowledge, the power of the internet, and my Warcraft strategy skills. I did not pick two kickers? two defenses? (sorry casey) Probably the only odd move I made was the 3rd QB but that only to lockdown someone I felt was alright and the potential injury on my two good QBs.
And ELAM is a great kicker, he is not by any means a stretch of a good choice. He was an f'in AWESOME choice.
Regardless, Brady is going to ROCK massive TDs this season for me.
I'm fighting the American Football hype with "History of Futbal" recommended by Train...and it is working perfectly...there is room in my heart for both games...
Do you know what the worst book ever written in the history of mankind is?
"Futbal: It's a Funny Old Game" by Kevin Keegan
Uber-geek points to whoever can name that reference
"MCP, STFU" ...can any name that reference?
Jimbo, I have volume II waiting for you. Let me know when you want to watch it.
Wow...that's like a goose/serenity level of aggresion.
Not even Close to the Goose/serenity level of aggression
So like Jimmy said...STFU
Whatever...
Anyway the quote is from "Red Dwarf".
end of line.
my bad MCP...no hard feelings...in fact...check this out...proves that Leary is still the funniest SOB in the business
