Big Cuts For Shower Scene

2012-03-06T12:05:00.000-08:00

Dockett's Shower Scene went through a big makeover today, parting ways with franchise QB Sam Bradford, RB, Joseph Addai, and DL, Ndamukong Suh.

Bradford's large contract ($30 a year till 2015) was doomed from the start of last season. Under achieving, Bradford won the Most Overpaid Award in 2011. Suh and Addai also had heft contracts that caused too much strain on the Shower Scene's cap.

Owner Joe Stanek will still be forced to pay $21 in 2012 due to cap penalties. However, he does free up $37 and will be $70 under cap heading into the 2012 offseason.

"Joseph Ndamukong and Sam were a part of our family and we are sad to see them go. At the same time we must remember that the goal of any organization in sports is to win. After falling to 3rd on our depth chart Addai’s $17 contract didn’t make sense. The same goes for Sam’s $30 contract, after the trade to secure Jay Cutler. These were strictly business decisions that will propel our team forward. Suh on the other had had been a problem in the locker room and on the field. His departure from our club should be a warning sign for young kids playing this game that you cannot act however you want with out repercussions. If you want to act hard, you actually have to be hard. As the great Joe “Willie” Namath once said, “I like my women blonde and my Johnnie Walker red.” said owner Joe Stanek.

Shower Scene stunned the league when he traded out of the 2nd overal pick this year for the 9th and Jay Cutler. However, he has loaded up with picks and cap space to make a run at the 2012 playoffs.

Week 6 POWER RANKINGS

2011-10-19T17:51:00.000-07:00

Ok to make things more interesting I decided on making power rankings. Feel free to comment on your opinion.

1. Washington Sentinels 6-0: Everything is working for TJ. Even during a big buy week he puls a Monday Night comeback to beat Andy. Pretty sure he can start Braxton Miller and he'd throw for 300 yards.

2. Mike Jones 4-2: Quietly put up the league's 2nd highest point total. Although, riddled with byes this week his hot streak could come to an end.

3. Graphic Source Print Solutions 4-2: Even though the team sold out to the advertisers, Graphic Source has been able to pile up the points and looks dangerous.

4. Cromartie's Child Support Fund 3-3: Andy's fantastic fantasy luck continues as he loses a heart-breaker to TJ. Even at 3-3, this team can easily win out.

5. Tressel's Tattoo & Pawn 4-2: The lowest amount of points by a division leader. But you know what they say, "Defense wins championships."

6. You Think Visors are Cool 3-3: Anyone else find it ironic how many visors are actually on his team?

7. Represent the Sea 4-2: Needs to stop trying to run the triple-option if he wants to compete in this league.

8. Gary Baxter's Legs 3-3: Owner, operator, GM, coach, & commish Marine Mammals of the Western Hemisphere has been very active this year, yet only has a few more points than Chip.

9. The Ghost of Charlie Frye 2-4: Chip is eagerly waiting to petition for a name change to the Ghost of Colt McCoy.

10. Munchie's Dreadlocks 2-4: Tactic of toking up with his players has made for some enjoyable nights, but only two wins so far.

11. Dockett's Shower Scene 1-5: Really sucked at the Suck for Luck bowl last week by beating Camel Toe. Friends and family only.

12. Jaqua Parker's Camel Toe 0-6: His camel toe is about the only thing good to look forward to. Oh, and Andrew Luck.

I will give everyone an extra day to set the starting lineups before posting the Week 1 lines. Remember, everyone gets $500 free dollars to bet throughout the year. The one who ends up with the most money at the end wins their money back. I invited people to this page so you can sign up and post your bets here. I will keep track of all of them on an excel sheet similar to the Team Pages.

This is by no means mandatory but a new interactive way to win your money back if you have a bad year. We tried doing it with trophies in years past but those always tended to go towards the better teams. this gives everyone, no matter how bad a team, a fair chance of winning their $ back.

Team Names and Divisions

2011-07-17T09:38:00.000-07:00

Team names are a must. There is no filter so I don't care what you make it as. However, since this league is a Dynasty style league, we want to keep the names year in and year out. Some of you (including myself) have changed team names each year. We don't want this in this league since each team has a real sense of ownership. So be as creative as possible when naming teams.

Also, as you sign up for this league the ESPN site will assign you into random divisions. We will change that. We were thinking of making them semi geographical. This means people from OU, Cincy, Cleveland will sort of be grouped together. The idea behind this is to hopefully set up some rivalries. If you have any suggestions on divisions or division names please let us know.

Welcome to 2011 Dynasty Fantasy Football

2011-07-17T07:23:00.000-07:00

I'm glad all of you were able to join our soon to be prestigious league. This league will take a lot of football knowledge which you all have. Though it may take a deeper time commitment at the start, an owner can successfully run his team with the normal time commitment of a fantasy league.

The idea of this league is to make a deeper fantasy football experience and have a real sense of ownership to your team. Think of it as a cross between FF and a Madden dynasty.

Since we have our own website, please click the side link that says become a member. This way, you will be able to comment on everything and make this league really enjoyable. We will also try to make it where league members will be able to make some posts on certain pages. This will be a later date. You can also post this page on Facebook or Twitter as much as you want. Remember, this is a Fantasy Football League, trash talk is a must.

So make sure you sign up for both this blog and the ESPN site. We also need an active email list. This is for the emailing of a simple team excel sheet for you to manage your team salary on. The math is all set up and only requires you to enter the salary into each slot. Your accuracy is a must and will be monitored by the commish.

Please enjoy this league and remember to comment as much as possible.
