Title: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on August 06, 2008, 02:24:50 pm This Sunday at 7:15 PM, TDMMC begins our title defense and the next step in establishing a Phins fan site dynasty. There will be no mercy shown, no quarter given...just a series of brutally heinous boxscore beatdowns that end up with TDMMC victorious. It should be fun...well, for us anyway. Since AZ and I consider it our personal mission to never see TDMMC lose a fantasy league again, we've named this year's team... "TDMMC's Special Porpoise" After the draft, I'll post our team up here. I know I speak for AZ as well when I say that we've really appreciated the support from you guys for this team the last few years. The Miami Dolphins may be in rebuilding mode, but TDMMC's Special Porpoise most definitely isn't. We will win the Phinsmasters Challenge again, and send a message to the other phins fan sites that TDMMC is the favorite "every season."

Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on August 07, 2008, 01:54:21 am Is this for fantasy football? Yes Did you guys win it all last year ? Yessir, in dominant fashion...best record (12-2) during the regular season, and then beat Finatics.com and Phinatics.com in the playoffs. We actually strung all 12 of those regular season wins together, with a squeaker 1 pt loss in the opener and 5 pt loss in the final week before going on our playoff run. The 12 wins in the middle...average margin of victory was 47 pts. I actually emailed two opponents after matchups during that streak to apologize for our team's boxscore enthusiasm and make it clear that we weren't intentionally running up the score. ;) Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on August 08, 2008, 02:54:05 pm Looking forward to bringing TDMMC another championship this season.

The show will probably start while we are in the 3rd or 4th round. Also...no IDP this season, only offensive players. Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: dolphins4life on August 08, 2008, 08:03:47 pm ^^^^
How can I help TDMMC retain the title this season? Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on August 08, 2008, 09:54:23 pm ^^^ I don't know...maybe randomly call the other FinsRadio.net shows and talk smack about their fantasy weakness? <j/k>...don't do that. ;D Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on August 10, 2008, 08:40:50 pm OK...draft in the books. TDMMC had the #6 slot in the 12-team snake draft. I was hoping that Addai or Brady would slip, but no dice. I chose the holdout-concern, Steven Jackson rather than stretch for a Frank Gore or Marshawn Lynch at that spot. Other than wishing I was one slot further up in round one, I thought the rest of the draft went well. RBs went away in a hurry, as was expected, but I think TDMMC has a team that can contend for another Phinsmasters crown. Your roster to start the season... QB: Donovan McNabb RB: Steven Jackson RB: Earnest Graham RB/WR: Julius Jones WR: Braylon Edwards WR: T.J. Houshmandzadeh TE: Vernon Davis K: Rob "m-m-m-my" Bironas D: SD Chargers Bench: QB Jason Campbell, RB Kenny Watson, Brandon Jackson and LaMont Jordan, WR Calvin Johnson, Patrick Crayton and Jabar Gaffney Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Tenshot13 on August 12, 2008, 01:55:01 am That is a pretty stellar team. Braylon Edwards is my favorite in this pick...He's going to have a Randy Moss/T.O. kind of year this year. Bironas is a nice pick up as well.
Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on August 12, 2008, 09:46:21 am Braylon Edwards is my favorite in this pick...He's going to have a Randy Moss/T.O. kind of year this year. My healthy man-love for all things Braylon came out really early, as I prayed, pleaded and begged for my 49ers to draft him #1 overall in '05 instead of Alex "Doll Hands" Smith. Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on December 02, 2008, 02:26:14 am I hadn't kept this thread up this season like I have in years past, mainly because there didn't really seem to be that much interest<g>. All you guys actually care about are the results anyway.
TDMMC will have the opportunity to defend its title, locking up our playoff spot last week and ending the regular season on a 5-game win streakk and tied for the best record at 9-4. Unlike last year, I had to scramble to keep this one up, as many of the players I drafted spent the entire season in a state of massive suckitude (See Jackson, Steven). I added Steve Slaton in the preseason, and Matt Ryan in week 3. The Vikes D replaced the Chargers-D, since this league's scoring set doesn't give defensive bonuses for giving up big plays, and I added a few other fringe bench guys. Bring on the playoffs... Go TDMMC!! Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on December 04, 2008, 09:03:40 pm No matchup this week for TDMMC...we secured one of the two first round byes, and now await the winner of Finatics.com and Finheaven.com. This league has three playoff rounds, one week each, with the championship awarded after week 16, rather than week 17. TDMMC's title defense is now officially on... Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: stinkfish on December 04, 2008, 09:07:59 pm Woo Hoo Go team go. Good going Capt. Stroke.
Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on December 05, 2008, 12:46:08 pm I still wish we we were able to draft IDP. We killed last year with our D!!!!!
Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on December 05, 2008, 10:34:21 pm I still wish we we were able to draft IDP. We killed last year with our D!!!!! Hard to say, but part of me thinks they did away with IDP because of how dominant TDMMC was on defense the past two seasons. Last year was just insane...we had an '85 Bears caliber D, but better. What we had was more like if the '85 Bears D were all armed with laser cannons. When the season ended, we had 6 of the top-10 overall IDP scorers in our 6 active IDP slots. I love IDP... Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on December 15, 2008, 11:25:24 pm TDMMC's Special Porpoise came out of the first round bye last week and had to face the team that always gives us fits, Phinatics.com this week. The pigskin gods are smiling...and TDMMC pulls out the 93-69 win behind McNabb and a balanced attack. TDMMC now advances to the championship game with the opportunity to win our second straight Phinsmasters Challenge. Our opponent, barring a late scoring change, will be the Two Michelles, who ended up this round tied with Buchler's Finatics. Tiebreaker in ESPN is higher seed advances, and that'd be Dos Michellos. Cross your fingers...go TDMMC!! Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Brian Fein on December 16, 2008, 11:22:53 am Stroke, please kick those Michelles' asses for us. We need that title!
Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on December 16, 2008, 12:13:58 pm I'd like nothing more than to start a Phinsmasters FFL dynasty for TDMMC and run off 3-4 titles in a row...you know, just to piss on a few trees and mark our territory so the other sites understand whose yard they're playing in. Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Dave Gray on December 16, 2008, 02:45:24 pm What's the skinny on the Super Bowl matchup?
Do we have the better team? Title: Re: TDMMC's Team in the 2008 Phinsmasters Challenge Post by: Sunstroke on December 16, 2008, 03:39:51 pm Pretty evenly matched...ESPN's version of the comm guru gives her a 108-106 projection, but I think I've got a slight advantage based on some favorable RB/WR matchups. Nowhere near the dominant squad as last year's champion, but after a slow start, we've won 8 of our last 9 weekly matchups. I think we'll have enough to give us one more win... |
