We're at better-late-than-never-but-really-late-sorry status here at T&R as we present to you the episode you've been waiting for: The Reckoning Of Charles Gaines. Week 7 was a doosey, and it's been downhill since then for most* managers as more and more key players become inactive, on and off the field. Looking ahead to week 9, only one team has 6 wins — meaning Squish Games are in full effect, in more ways than one. It's the greatest fantasy football league in the world, and THIS is its ...

While the war wages for Top Dog, another race has emerged in the Pellwood League: Who will be the greatest underdog? Charles sits alone at 5-0 in a streak fueled recently by Antonio Brown and personal anti-curse measures, including ducking the media and maintaining what we only assume is JoBu levels of ritual. Chris sits alone at 0-5 after Pete nets his first W. Both are looking to capture Mo' and hang on for dear life. For the rest of us, a sense of breathing room may lure us into a false security, as the past two weeks have proved: whether incumbent ...

Bowl Week is upon us! Week 5 features multiple bowl games of significance — both in relationship and record — including: T&R Bowl - The Pod Hosts' grudge match Waskow Bowl - Father and son pretending this matchup won't effect Thanksgiving Squish Bowl - Chewie v Derrek are two powerhouse teams with even records While it may seem like fun and games, every manager knows...well, it isn't. It's super cereal, you guys. With every W counting, teams will look to avoid the raggedy edge which only draws nearer. It's the greatest fantasy football league in the world, and this is it's ...

It's week 4 as the League's closely-matched peloton of competitors begins to diverge into three distinct groupings. While no manager is down for the count, Week 4 is the kind of week that gives porch-rocking old men a prophetic pain in their bones that only they can interpret: "storm's comin'." A distant thunder rolls in the air. The faint smell of impending deluge rises. What can save us from the inevitable flood destined to sweep away managers whose teams are built upon the sand? Squish Factor, is what. It’s the greatest fantasy football league in the world, and THIS is its ...

It's the eve of Week 3 as a small percentile of the league sits at the envied 2-0. But it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, and the injury lottery seems as random as it is just. Whether or not you believe in — or pray to — the fantasy gods is irrelevant; their influence remains omnipotent. Meanwhile, healthy Wide Receivers are as scarce as sympathy in the Pellwood League. It's only Week 3, and the bitter clawing has begun as managers hope to scratch and gouge their way to the almighty W. Whether ...

Week 1 is in the books, and if our chatter-factor is any metric at all (and it should be), it was an interesting season kickoff to say the least. While some in our league were regaled by the fruit of their drafting labor, plenty still were left wanting. And even fewer still, though you know who you are, count their W's with homage to the fantasy gods (and their personal pandering efforts). One thing is certain — the Power Rankings don't lie. Win, or lose; this is the game. And we, its pawns. It's the greatest fantasy football league in the world, ...

You should see the Draft Lobby, Spaniard. Fifty-thousand Romans watching every movement of your sword, willing you to make that killer blow. The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards. It rises. It rises up like a storm. As if you were the thunder god himself. Brothers, what we do in life echoes in eternity. Ultimately, we are all dead men. Sadly we cannot choose how but we can decide how we meet that end in order that we are remembered as men. And when you die – and die you shall – your transition shall be to the sound of ...

It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again We've come a long way from where we began Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again When I see you again. It's the greatest fantasy football league in the world, and this is its ...

And then there were 6. The race to the playoffs did not disappoint....except for those who..uh..didn't make it.  But what a finish it was, with a surprise sleeper upset and a discombobulated bracket.  Congratulations to Chewie and Brock for securing the first round byes (each via their own, vastly different means). The gloves are off and niceties are history.  It's every manager for himself, whether you're competing for ultimate glory, top score, toilet trophy, reputation salvage, or simply avoidance of the SATs.  Good luck, and ...

It's Week 13.  After a "brief" hiatus, the boys are back with another thrilling rundown of the week ahead.  We're just in time, as our Game of Thrones culminates into an epic playoff race saga. The attractive and talented Oberyn takes on the formidable Mountain as they duke it out for the #1 spot and first round bye. The wealthy Lannisters spend all their FAAB in a last ditch effort to secure an army. House Stark and House Fray prepare to cut each other's throats at a red wedding matchup. The Night Watch Rangers are watching the wall.  (You just keep doing you, ...
