Not For Long: Wild, Wild West

The Wildcard game of the weekend was the last one featuring the Packers against the Cardinals. Green Bay gave Arizona all they could handle but just like last season Arizona found a way to prevail. If the Packers had eventually won this touchdown reception by Greg Jennings might have have been the catch that cemented the victory.

The Wildcard weekend MVP would have gone to the Raven’s Ray Rice who ran over the Patriots and put the final nail into the coffin of last decade’s football dynasty. Rice wasn’t the biggest scorer from the Wildcard round. Let’s see who else put up the big numbers this weekend.

The Super Bowl this year could shake up a whole lot of ways that would make me happy. The Jets could face the Cowboys. The Jets could face the Packers. The Packers could face the Chargers. The Cowboys could crush the Colts. Once I select my NFL playoffs fantasy squad all that favorite team shit goes out the window.

I hope this is finally the year that TONY ROMO doesn’t choke to death in the post-season. If he does I want his ass traded ASAP (peace to WARREN SAPP). Let’s set off another DP.com pool and here are the rules…

First Rule: Read these fux’n rules correctly.

If you fux up your roster you are shit out of luck. The fantasy pool admin (myself) does not give a good gotdamn about whatever your problems are. Submit one roster only. You have until Saturday 01.09.10 12:00pm EST to post your squad so take your time to do it correctly.

You can only pick one(1) player per team. So if you chose Tom Brady as your QB you can NOT Randy Moss as a WR. Take your time and use strategy when assembling your team. You will only get points when your player plays so be careful of the 1st round byes and teams you think will only play one game. Your team must consist of…

PLAYERS
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 FLEX(could be a running back, wide receiver, or tight end)
1 Kicker
1 Defense/Special Teams

SCORING
6 pts- TD Rushing, Receiving, Passing
6 pts- Defensive TD, Kickoff Return/Punt Return for a TD
6 pts- Defensive Shutout
3 pts- Field Goals (4pts- 40 yarder, 5pts- 50 yarder, 6pts- 60 yarder)
3 pts- Defense holds opponent to 9 points or less
2 pts- Defensive safety
2 pts- Two point conversion (Rushing, Receiving, Passing)
1 pt- Every 10 yards Receiving, Rushing
1 pt- Every 20 yards Passing
1 pt- Defensive sack, interception, fumble recovery
1 pt- Kicking extra point
0 pts- Any yardage on punt/kickoff returns

* If a punt or kickoff is returned for a TD the D/ST gets 6 points and if you have a guy like Wes Welker as one of your WR’s he will also be credited with 6 pts if he ran it back. So in that scenario the Pats D & Welker will be credited 6 pts.
* RB has 73 rushing yards and 10 receiving yards(total yards – 83) he will be credited 8 pts.
* If a QB has 200 passing yards -1 rushing(total yards – 199), he will be credited 9 pts. If he has 199 passing yards &1 rushing(total yards – 200), he will be credited 10
*This is NOT for just the first round, but the ENTIRE playoffs so once your player is out you cant pick up another you have to play a man or two or three down.

Here’s what my squad looks like…

QB – Tony Romo
RB – Adrian Peterson
RB – Willis McGahee
WR – Larry Fitzgerald
WR – Reggie Wayne
TE – Antonio Gates
FLEX – Ryan Grant
K – Garrett Hartley
D/ST- Baltimore Ravens

Good luck to everyone who puts in a playoff roster.

You. Could. Go. All. The. Waaaaaay.

Not For Long: It’s A Wrap!

Monday, January 4th, 2010

rg

BLK OPS IZ 4 DA’ KIDS!

My homie BRIAN DEKA PAUW is one of those brothers in the vanguard of post-Blackness. He has never let living and learning in Bedford-Stuyvesant deter him from the things that he wanted to do with his life. He’s fortunate that he doesn’t have the social borders that most people in America have. Not just the kids growng up in the ‘hood, but everybody in America who can’t see past race or class when they look at other people.

Brian is a avid snowboarder. So much so that he has formed a not-for-profit organisation geared to bringing kids from the center city out of their environment into the great outdoors for them to learn recreational activities, but mostly for them to realize that borders they thought encircled them do not exist. It will be a yeoman’s effort but it will have to start somewhere.

deka

It started over a week ago with the first big snowstorm of the ’09 winter. Brian grabbed up his board and boogied over to Fort Greene Park to shred the hill in front of the veteran’s memorial statue. Fort Greene Park exists in an interesting socio-political-economic vortex. One side of the park along DeKalb Avenue fronts some of Brooklyn’s most expensive real estate, while the Myrtle Avenue side fronts Walt Whitman projects.

The lines of park ownership reflect the color of the new fallen snow. Little ghetto kids can play in the park but they had better keep the noise down. And definitely don’t start forming any crowds. When Brian took the opportunity to instruct some of the youngsters who were curiously enthralled by he and his friends snowboard antics is when the NYC Parks Rangers swooped in and used their authority to ruin what could have been the removal of ther borders in these kids minds.

deka

I’m sad and embarrassed that these Parks Department employees abused their authority in this instance. The vibe was such that their presence was not only unnecessary but also somewhat questionable. You can never really tell what thoughts exist in a man’s mind, but you can certainly tell when he is lying and when he is being honest and upright.

The truth is that the NYC Parks Department DOES allow snowboarding in NYC Parks. Remember the Red Bull Snowscrapers exhibition that we highlighted here at this site? That was in an NYC park. Albeit NYC was paid handsomely to use their property by Red Bull. At the end of the day these parks belong to us. All of us. Especially those who can’t afford to drive into the Catskills to a resort or even hop the bus to Bear Mountain for that matter.

Support my friend Brian and his Hoods To Woods movement.

FREE THE PARKS, AND THE KIDS WILL FOLLOW.

Meet The Mess…

I think Isiah Thomas has infiltrated the Metropolitans front office. The free agent signing of Jason Bay and the pursuit of backcatcher Benji Molina tells me that Omar Minaya is still searching for the right combination of beisbol players via throwing away money at overvalued free agents.

Keep it simple Omar. Bring in another pitcher. Philly got rid of Lee and acquired Halladay. The rich didn’t get richer, but the contenders went and got pitchers. If the Wilpons got it like that to spend (and they should since the taxpayers paid for their new stadium) they should get us another workhorse arm and a bonafide slugger who is just as respected in his clubhouse.

Other than that we don’t need a team that spends money like their neighbors on the other side of the TriBoro Bridge. We need an organization that knows how to develop a farm system which brings more young talent up from within. Spending money on the front end so that we don’t have to waste our dollars on overpriced mediocre free agents.

Can you do that Omar?
