Ragamuffin Revival Fantasy Football Year 2

56
Posted by loswhit in Amigos

It’s time.
Last year was a fun smack talking season.
And I finished at the middle of the pack.


Creative Coaching alumni Bob Robbins took the prize last year.
He gets an automatic invite back into the league.
Everyone else has to fight their way back in.
If you are SERIOUS about being in the league, and can participate in a LIVE DRAFT on Mon Aug 29 6:15pm EDT, then comment below and tell me why you think you can beat me…cause you can’t.
I’ll do a random selection tomorrow night at 9pm and let you know if you are in.
Bring it.
Los

  • Hutch

    In the words of the great Coach, Vince Lombardi (reason number one you should pick me, I quote Vince Lombardi) “Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” And Mr. Los, I sir am in the Habit of Winning.

    I’m the first one to respond, I’m a huge fantasy football fan and I’ve been known to answer the phone, “What up Bitch?” But I don’t have kids yet…..

  • http://www.mustardseedyear.com Jason

    I’d tell you the truth as to why you would lose to me but you can’t handle the truth, Los.

    You.

    Can’t.

    Handle.

    It.

    2 years ago, after winning the regular season championship and league championship in both of my leagues, I announced my retirement. I spent some time down in Hattiesburg, Mississippi farming in my Wranglers, and decided I needed a challenge. My love for fantasy football is too strong to stay away. And that, sir, is why I cannot be stopped.

    Plus, in my probably 25 leagues over 10 years, I’ve only missed the playoffs twice. Both of those still haunt me.

  • http://wbd1023.wordpress.com Blake

    Because all I do is win. I mean really it’s almost embarrassing really…for others.;) I put in the time and the effort to at least try and have the best team I possibly can.

  • http://www.robreed.com rob reed

    I can beat you because I know very little, being a “football orphan” from L.A. I’m like your friend’s wife who enters an NCAA tourney bracket, knowing nothing, who walks away winning the whole thing because she likes the name “Huskies.”

    Or, I’ll use this reason: I’ll blog about it. :)

  • Raf

    I know I can beat you simply because you’re a Falcons fan, and someone who is a Falcon fan doesn’t know much about football. Besides, I’m bigger than you and if you beat me I’ll hunt you down at a concert. I got to you at creationfest at the tent, so I can find you anywhere.

  • http://orangevalleychurch.com Joel

    Los, would love to go Charlie Sheen on you in a little fantasy football.

    Boom, crush. Night, losers. Winning, duh.
    -Charlie Sheen

    • http://orangevalleychurch.com Joel

      You always want to go up against the best.

      Bill Belichick was caught filming my lasst fantasy draft, just sayin’

  • http://twitter.com/#!/matthewmacd matt

    Because I would’ve posted bail for Mike Vick…but he didn’t ask.

  • http://nclarke03.wordpress.com Nate Clarke

    Cause I’m in higher demand for fantasy football leagues than a flat iron at a worship leaders conference.

  • ty

    I’m the best fantasy player in Nashville, so you definitely need me in or league. And I am an avid viewer of the T.V. show ” The League.” I work at a church and I still spend 1/2 my day doing mock drafts.

  • Andrew Brotherton

    Why would I beat you at Fantasy Football, because not only am I a stat geek, I also play fantasy football like its my job, also I rock pretty hardcore. I mean I wear cardigan sweaters…how much more hardcore can you get?

  • http://Thesociallyawkwardchristian.wordpress.com Brandon G. Smith

    Much like your beloved Dirty Birds crumbled before the might of the Packers in the playoffs (and regularly cower before my Saints) you to will kneel before my fantasy football prowess and the power of my team: Driscoll & The Calvinists. For I am already predestined to victory.

  • Dave Sigler

    You don’t want me in your league. Been playing since ’93 when we still still had to check the USA Today and hand figure our scores. Oh and Chris Mortensen (yeah that one from ESPN) actually asked me for my cell # after I gave him the scoop at a Fantasy Football convention on Kurt Warner before anyone ever heard of him; well other than us Iowans. Granted I still didn’t draft him that year and it cost me because I faced him in the championship.

  • Ryan

    I once held the olympic torch.

  • http://timpayne.org Tymn

    People tend to think that NFL players are all about winning championships and making lots of money, but being on my fantasy football team is what truly motivates players and takes them to the next level. Money and winning are nice too I’m sure, but those things just come naturally to players who take their game to the next level in order to prove their worth to me in hopes that I will draft them the following year.

  • daveu

    Because i play one league a year now. Sure, 5-6 is in the past has been the norm. I’ll scale down to one so you can see what strategery is all about, when focused on one big goal. I would love to be able to brag week after week to my WA director, Jan T, how one of her worship leaders is bringing the pain to the great Los! Not afraid, son…show me you’re not. Plus I love creative trash talking…you like creative right? Plus I like to ramble..and scramble..pick me, homie!!! PICK ME!!!

  • Carl

    Because I’ll bring you down further than a worship leader’s V neck.

    Because I’ll buy Toms and donate them when I win.

    Because I would like to accept the challenge of explaining yet another fantasy team to my wife.

  • http://michaellukaszewski.com michael

    because i finished two places ahead of you last year…that is all.

  • http://rhythmchurch.org Nathan

    I am a pastor…with dreadlocks…and I have been in FF for years. No one can win a championship every year if they are in a competitive league. But I guarantee my team will have the right standard deviation to be in the top 3!

    Cheers.

  • Ryan

    After living in KC for three weeks I know more about the Chiefs than I ever wanted to know… I’m sure I can translate that into a fantasy football victory somehow!

  • Zack

    I’m 16 and I’m completely obsessed with football. I follow the draft, I followed the lockout, I follow breakout players and who will be good in new systems with trades and stuff like that. I play with my family sometimes but I always beat them so it’s not much competition. I’d love to have some good competition.

  • Isaac

    Because I, sir, name my fantasy football teams “Llamas with Hats”. Also, I am a New Englander, in which football greatness resides.

  • Adam

    Bitch.

    Lets go.

  • Jeremy

    Because I’ve won a league for 3 years in a row and could use some fresh meat…

  • http://www.derekandsheainsa.com Derek Poe

    Because I live in South Africa, the land of no NFL and still compete in a DYNASTY league. Imagine what that could mean for you in a REGULAR league!

  • http://www.traviswilliams.net Travis Williams

    I probably can’t beat you. That’s why you should want me in the league.

  • william hancock

    To be honest if I am good I don’t need to say anything. I will just show how talented I am by winning. Pick me if you don’t want to mess around with all the little boys. Look forward to hearing from u.

  • http://www.nextstopnineveh.wordpress.com Virgil

    The Calvinist would say that before the world was created, God predestined the outcome of this player selection process and if by His grace I’m to be selected by you to participate there’s nothing I can do either way to get you to choose me or not, and if I do it’s for His glory and if not my lack of inclusion in the league will be a warning to mothersuckers everywhere that when it comes to fantasy football league selection, your guess is as good as mine as to what it takes but don’t piss off the guy doing the selection cause he’ll smite yo ass.

    The Arminian would say I’m asking you to prayerfully consider including me in your league and if in your excellence you see fit to include me, I’ll show my appreciation by doing nothing beyond getting my name on the league roster but spend the rest of the season thanking you for including me for exactly 45 minutes once a week. But you best believe I ain’t telling ANYONE I got included because they might think I’m crazy.

    But since I’m Pentacostal, please just give me your address so I can send you a generous love offering gift of support and receive as a gift inclusion in your fantasy football league along with a bottle of Extra Holy Olive Oil squeezed by hand by a Rabbi in Jerusalem in a commemorative team color vial.

  • http://alionsshare.wordpress.com Ryan McC.

    I want to add to my collection of championship belts by winning an internet league against like-minded strangers. And I would name my team, ‘What up B*tch.’

  • Chris PInder

    I’m gonna beat you for the simple reason that you can brag that someone from the Bahamas beat your a@&, wait what word is acceptable? Then when I do win I’m gonna have to help you come down and see what it’s like here.

    Need I say more?

  • http://www.briansenecal.com Brian

    A) I was a geek at a high school that hasn’t had an over .500 football season in almost 50 years. That forces the conclusion that I would be highly successful at fantasy football…it’s just the law of nature.
    B) I won 7 straight championships to start off the keeper league I am in and 9 total in 15 seasons.
    C) I have been playing fantasy sports since you were probably in diapers
    D) My career fantasy winning percentage across all sports is in the neighborhood of .600
    E) I’m a Yankee in the south….

  • http://www.cdenning.com cdenning

    Easy, because the Irish invented football . . .

    Wait, they didn’t? . . .

    Uh, ok, well because the vikings inveted football . . .

    Wait, you’re kidding me?! They’re just a mediocre football team with an old man under center? (sorry Donovan) . . .

    Well, I guess i’ll win just because I have a secret strategy that is unbeatable . . . top secret . . .

  • Griff

    I’m AWESOME. And humble. I’m humbly awesome, or awesomely humble. I’m not sure yet. I have so much swag that I have to carry it in a backpack. This isn’t entirely true, but I do have a backpack.

    I haven’t finished out of the top 3 spots in any of my fantasy leagues in years. I’ve been playing for roughly 13 years. I have a great time playing and enjoy banter and trash talk.

    BRING IT LOS!

  • http://marcushackler.com Marcus Hackler

    Because I beat you last year… love, Hizzle :)

  • http://Twitter.com/discoworship DiscoWorship

    Because Chuck Norris does my draft for me. And by draft I mean allows a select few NFL players to join our team and void certain annihilation!!!!

  • http://www.twitter.com/spencersweeting Spencer

    I’m not going to sit here and offer some pathetic, well-rehearsed line about my fantasy football dominance or how metrosexual worship leaders are. Those fools try too hard.

    I’m simply going to say that I’m the type of player that makes the fantasy football experience better. I draft smart, offer the right dose of smack, and am involved daily throughout the season. As an “experience architect”, you want to carefully piece together the best group of people to make for a fun and memorable season. I am unequivocally one of those pieces.

  • Danny

    I think my reasons of being in your fantasy league can best be explained using the track listing from “Ragamuffin Soul.”

    1. RAIN IT DOWN- the champagne, the confetti, let it rain down on the champ… me.
    2. My dad always said, “Don’t start a fight you can’t win.” Well, Whittaker, you CAN’T START THIS FIGHT.
    3. Be thankful you worship a GOD OF SECOND CHANCES because you won’t be winning this year.
    4. After the beating I will give the league, everyone will bow down and say “WE WILL WORSHIP YOU.”
    5. NO WORDS just winning. That’s my mantra
    6. BECAUSE OF YOU and your open invitation to this league, I am about to lower the self-esteem of many of RagamuffinSoul.com’s visitors.
    7. What will I do after I win Ragamuffin Revival Fantasy League 2? SHINE ON, of course!
    8. I think I may name my team “grace.” You know, since GRACE ALREADY WON.
    9. JESUS SAVES sinners, yes, but you better hope he saves bad fantasy football players too.
    10. In my presence, you see fantasy football greatness, IN YOUR PRESENCE we see someone who played in the same league as fantasy football greatness.
    11. YOUR NAME is Carlos, my name is “Iamfreakingamazingatfantasyfootball”
    12. The sooner you realize that I am the best option for your fantasy league, WE WILL DANCE and celebrate you coming in second place this year.

  • Brad

    “then comment below and tell me why you think you can beat me”

    ‘cuz I already did it.

  • http://www.twitter.com/throughthelynds lyndsey

    i am a girl.
    i worked at a camp. (www.skyranch.org)
    i was the only girl in a league with boys. (they voted me in at a staff retreat dinner. it was a catfish buffet).
    i missed the draft because i had a hair appointment. (i needed a cut and highlight. my schedule was tight. so sue me).
    i landed in the top 5 and looked better than the boys all season.

    this isn’t a random choice. this is a right choice :)

    can’t wait to play!

    -lynds

  • http://www.twitter.com/throughthelynds lyndsey

    p.s. am i the only woman that has commented?

  • http://www.andyallen.com Andy Allen

    I win….simply because @GidgetTheBoxer is my draft manager and FF season coach!

  • http://mlevergood.wordpress.com Matt Levergood

    First off the reason I should be in this league is I have the worst luck ever with first round draft picks so i’ll be an easy win for everyone else. ;) (Three straight years where my first round pick has been injury for a majority of the season) Secondly I know way to much about football and even with the horrible track record with first round picks I have made the playoffs every year since I was 12 and have won the title twice.

  • Ben Greenwald

    I figure every league needs at least one person to beat up on. Unfortunately for you, it won’t be me.

  • Travis

    Because I don’t even know who you are, but I never pass up a good challenge.

  • Sean P. Marion

    Hey man,
    I played fantasy sports (baseball & football) for 10+ years before walking away from it 2 years ago. I would love to get back into it. Let me know.

    Much Love

  • Sean P. Marion

    Oh, and i almost forgot. They used to call me the “Irish Slammer” I guess i’ll have to break that back out as well. Just watch out cause before you know it…………………………………………………………………..YOU’VE BEEN SLAMMED!!!!!!!!!!!

    I haven’t done that in a while it kinda felt good.
    Much Love

  • candrewwade

    i’m a super white guy and i often try to rap
    so i’ll take some time here to put myself on the map
    i was introduced to you and your bogging ways this summer
    worshipping w/ you at breathe couldn’t been more funner
    so here i am now trying to plead my case
    to get into your league and put you in yo place
    being from ohio i rarely see a winner
    but i eat fantasy owners for my dinner
    “you eat fantasy owners?” no i’m just talkin
    but let me in your league and i’ll also do the walkin

  • chip sanders

    I am on a pretty serious winning streak!

  • http://actiondanjackson.com Dan

    First of all, you need to give that Lyndsey girl an invite by merit of the best post thus far in the thread.

    Second, I am sending you a @mention tweet right now of “The Marion Barber III Trophy” (a football he autographed for our league in 2007) that my keeper league gives out to the person whose team scores the most points in the season. I have had it in my possession since the 2008 season, because I straight up have game.

    Third, I can promise that I will give a much better showing (like, Marion Barber III Trophy worthy) than some of the slackers in your league last year. For example, The Nutcrackers ended up dead last, a few hundred points behind the leader, but only made 3 roster moves all season. Clearly, the Crackednuts guy was resigned to his pathetic state and did nothing to change his stars. Likewise, “You Don’t Wanna Know” and “Kyle’s Killers” made 27 and 25 moves, respectively, (far more than any other team in the league) and still couldn’t manage to stay competitive.

    I will bring it far more than any of those guys did.

    - @action_djackson

  • Eric

    Shouldn’t you want to pick someone you could beat? You will beat me because I will pick on principles. I will never pick a packer.

  • https://www.twitter.com/#!/amadovillarreal Amado

    Cuz if you allow me to join the league all your wildest dreams will come true.

  • Will

    I’m a producer for NFL on FOX, the only thing I love more than football is Jesus. I know I can take on anyone in Fantasy football.

  • C. Bannister Pritchett

    I’m a college student, Los.

    You might think it’s cool to beat up on bloggers in their mid-30′s, but I have watched SportsCenter more than I have slept lifetime, and Fantasy runs in my veins.

    Let me know if you want some competition ;)

  • http://twitter.com/jonhom Jon Hom

    I can beat you because. i probably can’t. but maybe i can. it might be fun. you never know.
