Fantasy season ends with a win
If only it had ended with two, then I wouldn't have been playing in the third-place game. But we won the game, and I was proud of my Vote Touchdown team. Nine of the 16 players who were with us at the beginning of the season were with us at the end. We stayed true to Ocho Cinco even if Ocho Cinco didn't stay true to the end zone. We rode the hell out of Drew Brees' arm and Adrian Peterson's legs. We got to know Pierre Thomas and John Carlson. We appreciated Peyton Hillis while his body lasted. We vowed to hire a new receivers coach.
For next year, the new keeper league system me assured Brees or Peterson would return, as well as Hines Ward and the mending Mr. Tom Brady. For this year, with Commissioner Adam booting lazy-bones teams, contraction yielded competition, and one could feel good about the year. Congrats to Mel (10-2, 2-0) on her much-deserved title.
Updating my all-time finish list:
