Fantasy Football Score: 183.14

In one of my Yahoo Public leagues I scored 183.14 points, the most I have ever scored.



I could have scored another 8.9 points if I replaced BenJarvus with Fred Jackson. I also had Mike Tolbert score 21.3 and Wes Welker score 11.8 on the bench. Yes, that's right, I started Steve Johnson over Wes Welker.

I looked through my 5 other public league teams on Yahoo to see if any other teams scored this many. The most I saw was 155. Solid week for the Prospering CHEater's.

Here is the scoring system for the yahoo public leagues...

Fantasy NBA Notes (Nov. 17, 2010)

Here are some of my thoughts on the fantasy NBA season so far:

The Good:
-- Kevin Durant is the new face for fantasy basketball. Durant does it all.
-- Chris Paul has been outstanding, he has a career best A/T ratio (5.8 to 1) and he is hitting 46% from 3.
-- Pau Gasol keeps getting better.
-- I am so thankful that I love the Florida Gators. Drafting Al Horford and Joakim Noah has been money!
-- Paul Milsap has become better than Carlos Boozer was.
-- Russell Westbrook is slowly rising as one of the leagues best point guards.
-- Roy Hibbert for the Pacers is good, that is a surprise.
-- Jrue Holiday is someone you should trade to get. Holiday is a rising star and has done better than expected.

The Bad:
-- Steve Nash isn't the same without Amare Stoudemire
-- Amare Stoudemire isn't the same without Steve Nash
-- Chauncey Billups hasn't had the same numbers we have become accustom to this season.
-- David Lee is now hurt and before that was struggling to find his old self.
-- Chris Bosh should have never been put in the same breath as LBJ and Wade.
-- Andray Blatche is the same as last year, which is disappointing.

Michael Vick for NFL MVP

On Monday Night, Michael Vick had the most fantasy points since Clinton Ports had 289 yards and 5 TD's in 2003. Vick put together an amazing game running in for two TD's and passing for 4.

When Vick has been in the game (not hurt and not not starting), he has been the NFL MVP. He currently has 11 TD's and 0 INT's. His Eagles look like one of the best teams in the league.

So, does this mean that Michael Vick will be the NFL MVP? Or will his dog-fighting past hurt his status?

How funny is it to think that some people thought Vick would never (and should never) play in the NFL again. Now, two years removed from prison, Vick is putting up the best stats of his career and is competing against the league's greatest for MVP of the league.

Regardless of Vick's past, his present has been magnificent. It goes to show you that talent cannot be contained. Vick has always been considered a freak of nature, god's gift to the game. After his fallout over the dog fighting business, people quickly forgot about his game changing skills. I am glad he hasn't lost it.

I'd bet that after Vick wins the NFL MVP this season, people will forget about his past mistakes as fast as they forgot how great he is.
