This is crazy!! Here's my tale...so far:

So, this is the third year I played fantasy football. The first year, I did pretty decent and finished 5 out of 10, the second year I did even better and finished 2 out of 10 or 4th out of 20. This year....it's been weird. We split our league into two: the "Premier" League, or bottom tier, and the "Championship" league, the top 10 from last year. I have been in the Championship League with many others: Robby, Ferris, Tres, Chris, etc. (My dad (by his choice) Dylan and Jordan are in the other one) So, my season has been weird to say the least. I won a few, lost a few, won one, lost one, it's been back and forth ALL season. BUT, what's so odd is that our league is SO competitive, that at one point we had SIX people tied for first at 6-4. SIX! Crazy. I've hovered around 6th, 7th or 8th all season, but been only one or two games off.

Last week I looked at the total points tallies for the season and realized I had almost more points than anyone else in our league thanks to my star RBs Westbrook and Williams. (top 2 scorers in the NFL last week) despite still being 7th in my record due to my matchups.

But last night....the impossible happened. We had 3 people who had clinched playoff spots with their record....and then three more at 7-6 vying for that 4th spot. I was rounding out 7th with a 6-7 record. I won my game (unless Patsy's kicker goes NUTS tonight, which CAN happen) and the three ahead of me ALL LOST! WHAT?! You are kidding. That put FOUR of us at 7-7, vying for the 4th playoff spot, and guess who gets it becuase of my total points: That's right ladies and gents! I am making the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row.

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY and totally why I love fantasy football!
