Alright, so Ive been a bit absent lately but better late than never, right? Currently we are half way through the equivalent of NFL Fantasy Superbowl! Its been a cracking season, one of the closest comps Ive been involved in and has been a real good way to keep the fantasy mind sharp over the off season. Just before I get into the review Id like to thank all involved and also the fellas on here who dropped in from time to time to say hello and watch from afar. I will still do a final wrap up next week but I thought Id get this out there early. So onto the semi finals review and a quick run down of where were at now.

Ill start with my match-up, MR WIGGLES vs THE PACK. After the first week, Mr Wiggles was holding what I thought was a healthy lead of 36 points thanks largely to a dominant display from Tom Brady and RunDMC. RunDMC put in his nomination for touchdown of the year on his way to scoring a huge 38 points. So I was pretty confident heading into the second week of the matchup. However, as it has been all season, in this league anyone can beat anyone on their day and so it was that The Pack had a huge turn around and was very quickly able to wipe away the deficit. It came down to the very last game of our matchup. It was a sticky situation for me as it was my beloved Patrots against the ever consistent Green Bay Packers, with me holding Tom Brady from the pats and The Pack holding The Patriots D/ST. I wanted the patriots to win and I wanted Brady to do well but I also needed the D/ST to go quite average, something had to give. It was Brady, he had a quiet day, with about a minute on the clock I was a point down and with the last play of the day the Patriots got a fumble and a sack and I was done for, going down by 5 points and seeing my late run of wins come to a crashing halt also bow out of the comp, well done The Pack and onto the Superbowl for you!

The second semi was SAM CROW up against UNDER ACHIEVERS. This wasnt nearly as close, more like the ashes really. Sam Crow was off to a great start with Michael Vick again having a great day and also first round draft pick Chris Johnson, both with scores in the twenties and helping SuperCoach to a 34 point lead after the first week. In the second week it was total demolition, Sam Crow putting it beyond doubt early. Michael Vick again having a day out with 38 points and the UAs having four 0s for the day meant a huge win to Sam Crow and his place in the Superbowl!

So the final is THE PACK against SAM CROW. currently we are about half-way through the final with one game being postponed in the NFL so it will be a little behind schedule. At the moment THE PACK is Currently holding a 70 point lead but there is still a bit to go this week and all of next week so unless the fat lady sings...

Finally I would just like to ask for a bit of thought into how the comp went this year. I will be running it again next year and I would love to get your thoughts on how it could be improved, I already have a few thoughts, mainly to customize the scoring system. However I would love to know what you think, even if you dont plan to participate next year. So till next week...
