End of the Regular Season Reax

Months have passed and seasons have changed. The leaves have fallen from the trees and shit, Thanksgiving turkeys have been carved, and as we approach the Christian holiday the fantasy playoffs are in full gear. And in case yal blockhead fools still haven't put together the X's and O's like those 3rd grade valentines you used to write to your "auntie" or bus driver, D99 has taken another step toward unparalleled fantasy greatness. Unseen has continued to roll down this road with a swagger so obnoxious it has motherfuckers caught up on some envious "what the fuck is that dude on?" shit. D99 flashes them high beams- you get the fuck up out the lane.


Yea, some of these joints be tight, some of these joints be fucked up. At the end of the day though, truth is, these flaky ass competitors are on some sincere phoca vitulina shit. Motherfucking mammals with fur and blubber and flippers and whiskers and webbed feet tryin' to play in the ocean with the real badass fishes. You don't fit in on land, and you get hunted every time you venture into deeper waters. Yal are in the presence of the true Great White, and the rest of these consolation lames just got passed up in favor of a bigger meal- congratulations for playing, now go back to shore and maybe someday you'll be lucky enough to procreate some other weaklings, young pup. It's just the laws of nature. At an earlier period perhaps you'd receive a participation medal or ribbon or somethin', but at least you can rest and take solace in knowing you lost to a true legend.

D99 is on some Planet Earth shit
It hasn't been made easy though- sometimes these pinnipeds make a trill predator like Unseen work for their grub, getting all evasive with the ducking, diving, twirling, and jumping and such. D99 enters the playoffs in the 4th seed on the momentum of a two week win streak with crucial must-wins over Jew Brees and Muddogs. Meanwhile, Sucka failed worse than a sheltered fundamentalist virgin trying to put a condom on a banana in sex ed...consider that imagery. Son, you had so much potential as a foil too. Unseen really wanted you to succeed simply on the basis that it would allow further degradation of your already pitiful condition by way of an insulting playoff victory. You've denied D99 the opportunity to put a cherry on top...which might actually be the best move you've made all season, by the way. Go ahead and crawl back into that cave of obscurity you'd ventured out of: your fantasy career has been assassinated.

Now that the "I just do it for fun" season is over, Unseen did some deep meditation on the shit and came up with a few inspired comments to drop and a few bars to craft drawn from the highest Himalayan spiritual peaks and the holiest shrines containing the seeds of the same bodhi tree the Buddha became blessed under. The type of all-seeing, all-encompassing awareness shit which transcends metaphysical boundaries and manifests itself as an enlightened statement of unity with the entire universe itself. The type of shit written on divine tablets that angels sing to while floating down on puffy white clouds surrounded by doves in flight and laced with a light so powerful it cuts through all darkness and reveals the purity of the soul. The type of shit so absolutely unfathomable and incomprehensible that it could only be expressed mathematically as perfectly balanced and infinite in character. Actually, about 98% of that shit was entirely made up- D99 has got just ONE thing to say to the hate train:


Paired up with D99 in the first elimination game is Nemisis1, aka the team formerly known as Nemisis, which gained the additional digit partway through the season because apparently this dude has FIVE other teams with the same title. And, for the record, every one of the Nemisis squads resides in a public league- so it's not as if the Andy D plethora is due to some sort of competitive/social obligation with his co-workers or friends: he simply chose to make six fantasy football teams. Unseen never fails to find humor in fantasy football players with the combination of excessive league membership and lack of results (see also: sucka). Consider, perhaps, that maybe your pathological commitment to failure is directly due to your inability to make good managerial decisions, and that increasing the number of teams you run WILL NOT increase your probability of winning- especially when your number is pulled for a league with a legitimate monster like D99.

The matchup against Nemisis1 represents the opportunity for a reply to the loss Unseen took in Week 8 while playing with a shorthanded bye-week squad, in addition to starting the San Diego human turnover machine more commonly known by the legal name of Phillip Rivers (who managed, literally, only 154 yards passing week 8). Barnwell had an entertaining writeup of the worst throws of the year a few weeks back, and of course Rivers made the list with this beauty of a pick-6 while playing against Tampa Bay. Needless to say, the ship has since been corrected and the Chi is now in balance. It was nothing a few L's and gut instinct couldn't fix...Rivers has simply failed to live up to any real or fantasy expectations of a "bounce back" from last year's terrible turnover-plagued campaign. In his place now stands Carson Palmer, underrated fantasy producer of patented junk-time tounchdowns, like a poor-man's 2012 QB version of the 2008 Calvin Johnson (the year the Lions went unvictorious). Unseen has been stuck rolling with Palmer due to the fact that multiple teams have legitimate starting-quality quarterbacks they could have traded for profit who are simply sitting on their bench collecting dust (a la DESTROY JEW BREES).

A monster fantasy season, but you wouldn't know it in Yahoo Public 606206
Way back in August, Unseen employed the entirely unconventional draft strategy of taking three straight rbs (Rice, Charles, Peterson) with his first three picks in a public league with no flex position. Somewhere across the planet, the rainforest was being torn down. Mystics began to prophesize the coming of days. Devastating hurricanes materialized in the Gulf, and executives at Pepsi-Cola considered going for broke and bringing back Crystal Pepsi. The Earth was damned near thrown off its axis. Fast forward to Week 15 and the first round of the playoffs, and D99 sits in a comfortable position with three of the top ten backs in fantasy. Coupled with some keen pickups like Danario Alexander, Carson Palmer, and various flavor-of-the-week defenses, his squad appears to be peaking at the right moment. When it all boils down, the essential remaining ingredient which separates the real from the fake is simply the employment of superior personal research and strategy.

In other relevant league news, Butt Munchers was bumped down to the 2nd spot in the last week of the regular season and as a result, faces a matchup against 3rd place DESTROY JEW BREES. Interestingly enough, these two knuckleheads also last faced each other back in week 8 when a strong Doug Martin performance (33.4 pts on 135/1 and 79/1) and typical Tom Brady domination (304/4) allowed Munchers to cruise to an easy 107-73 victory. Unseen has strongly maintained since Week 4 that DESTROY JEW BREES enjoyed the benefit of a creampuff early schedule and sincerely lacked the talent to go the distance. Subsequent facts have proven this position to be correct: Since that Week 8 loss against Butt Munchers, DESTROY has limped into the playoffs by going 2-4 while also failing to score over 100 total points in any week. As a matter of fact, DESTROY has topped the century mark only THREE times over the course of the season, and last accomplished this feat back in Week 5.  As a point of comparison, Butt Munchers has dropped 100+ a record 9 times this season, and also remains the single-week high record holder by virtue of that historic Doug Martin performance back in Week 9. In determining this semi-final pairing, if Butt Munchers matches his weekly average output of 101.52, he'll have assured himself a position to challenge for D99's crown.


Until next week.
