The fantasy football season is over. I was in two Yahoo leagues, Blogger Fantasy Football and the Webloggers League.
Through the vagaries of fantasy football, my WL Rodeo Clowns, which finished the regular season with the best record, lost in the first round of the playoffs by two points in a game where Terrell Owens went down with a season-ending injury. Of course, sitting the hot Kerry Collins in favor of Brian Griese in that game didn’t help, either, costing me a 28 point differential. The Clowns rallied this weekend to take the consolation game for a 3rd place finish.
Meanwhile, the Beltway Bandits of the BFF finished the regular season 7-6 but made it through a three-round playoff to win the championship. I started the season with several superstar running backs but not enough wide receiver talent, and then lost several key wide receivers through injury. Plenty of waiver wire work, an early season trade of Fred Taylor for Marvin Harrison, and the late-season resurgence of Trent Green carried the team through.
