2017 Roster Freak Out - Week 13

Well, it was a rough Week 12 for the RFO, and I think we all know who to blame: massively overpaid QB Joe Flacco.

But in Week 13, may the RFO rise like a phoenix from the ashes of Joe Flacco's ineptitude. May it stand tall against the performances of much better rosters and emerge triumphant!

2017 Roster Freak Out - Week 12

UMassBallers, I can't even keep track of all the wins for the RFO in recent weeks - deserved or not. I'm gonna guess that I'm 7-4 because I seem to remember the RFO had the same record as Doge Flutie. Excuse me, playoff-bound Doge Flutie.

Real-time depiction of Doge's fantasy football effort.

If there's one thing I learned from this season, it's to not even try in fantasy football, because it's all random. Life's too short to scour the waiver wires and make terrible trade proposals when you could be sitting back enjoying belly rubs.

2017 Roster Freak Out - Week 11

Oh man, remember when I scored 92 points last week? So good.

So I watched Season 2 of Stranger Things, and I realized just now that it's basically an elaborate allegory for how fantasy football is the Upside-Down of regular football. On the surface, you have these real people playing their hearts out, making the most of their talents and work. But underneath is a shadowy realm of betting that leeches off of the real game, and we're all a bunch of demogorgons feeding off of the events and misfortunes of the people playing the real game. And let's face it, for the vast majority of us, but especially Doge, fantasy football really is an Upside-Down hellscape.

Not sure how this fan's Melvingordon fits in...

Welp, I guess I solved the show - oops, spoiler alert.

2017 Roster Freak Out - Week 10

The RFO struts into Week 10 with an above .500 record, just like Doge Flutie, which is on pace to secure the #2 seed and a bye. What incredible, talented teams, just barely edging out the competition, week after every other week.

Hang 10 in Week 10.

Let's see if I can keep the good times rolling.

2017 Roster Freak Out - Week 9

A great win for the RFO last week, overcoming many teams on bye and somehow only selecting people whose names would work for Halloween puns. It's incredible how I'm 4-4 despite minimal effort because I'm bending over backwards to handle things at work.
