Worst Smack Talk Ever Since c-dog and I were they only ones to sign up on the fantasy movie mogul game you might think I wouldn't take much pride in my victory. You'd be wrong.
"Yo, c-dog! Your powers of predicting successful movies based on their posters are clearly inferior to mine!"
Um ...
"The capitalist success of my slate clearly proves my moral superiority to you. And your mother."
Hmmmm...
"You come at me with Waitress? What were you thinkin', bee-yotch?"
Well ...
"Other people made 800 something million off my movies and all I got was ... hey, can I get a T-shirt somewhere?"
Okay, there's no smack-talking possibilities, but a win is a win.

Fantasy Grading Part 2 | Otuska's Bazookas
Last time I reviewed league winning Meatwad's Igloos ... this time I scan the wreckage of the Bazookas from the Yahoo Private Test Monkey Attack League.
Overall Grade: F
- Final result: Dead last, Borg name -- Five of Five.
- Draft Assessment: Ortiz with the first pick worked out great ... but Michael Young with the 2nd?! How the heck did that happen? Only Giambi in the 5th round could be considered a steal. Garland and Buehrle were a disaster, as was Guardado, all in the first 10 rounds. My pitching was horrible. D-
- Free Agent and Trade Acquisitions: Otsuka was OK. Trading Rivera for Papelbon midseason didn't do me any good, Rivera got better, Papelbon broke down. Trading away Giambi was stupid and I picked up Kenny Rogers a little late. F
- Name Assessment: I changed names when I acquired Otsuka. Don't even remember what my name was originally. Just weak. F
- Smack Talk: Yeah, there really wasn't much. I got out of the gate OK and may have ran my mouth a little but couldn't say much after a week or two. Other than that, the message board is basically John and Will bickering. F
I had a first place, last place and middle of the pack team this past year. Worst and first are covered, next time it's the Providence Grays to close out baseball.

Since c-dog is giving us the low-down on all his fantasy teams of various sports and leagues (which may be his way of telling us that the kids are being raised by wolves at this point) I thought I'd post the fantasy Congress league. Draft some congressmen and rack up points.

Fantasy Time
Sports. Fantasy Sports. I hate doing self-assessments for work ... but I think it's important to look for ways to improve as Fantasy GM. So, I'll do a grade for each of my 2006-07 teams and pick sets starting with the baseball teams, then moving through football, basketball, NASCAR, hockey, Premiership soccer, basketball (college and pro). I can sense your excitement at the prospect of learning from my experience, so without further ado ...
Baseball
Yahoo Public 114672 - Meatwad's Igloos - Overall Grade: A+
- Finished 1st of 12, coasted to victory on a 10 point cushion.
- Draft Assessment: Made only 9 moves over the course of the season. Second place team, by comparison, made 28 and third place made 45. Manny, Ortiz, and Chris Carpenter with the 1st 3 picks anchored the team. Dominated, winning 5 of the 10 categories and finishing top 4 in all but SB and Ws. Beltran in Round 6 of the draft was my steal, only Kerry Wood in the 11th was a dud. A
- Free Agent and Trade Assessment: Acquired Akinori Otsuka to shore up the bullpen and I can't remember what trades I made. Didn't need to do much because of the strong draft though and certainly didn't hurt my team. B-
- Name Assessment. Meatwad is perhaps the most likable of the Aqua Teens, not as clever as Frylock, but without Shake's core of meanness. His ability to transform into a meat igloo made him uniquely suited to represent this team. The next most creative and intriguingly named team in the league was "ilovechicken" ... I clearly dominated in this category as well. A
- Smack Talk: I routinely posted press releases and team awards but was unable to engage any of the semi-literate mouth breathers in that league in flame war. B-
Meatwad's Igloos were my success story of the '06 season, next time I'll analyze the stunning failure of Otsuka's Bazookas.
