Binge Sports: Binge Fantasy Football League Playoffs-Quarterfinals
The regular season of the inaugural Binge Fantasy Football League has come to a close and what a jacked up week it was. We start with a blowout win in the 1 vs 12 matchup that took place, but the winner wasn’t who I was hoping for. I’ll give credit where credit is due as Denny Luis beat the hell out of my Italian Stallions, 97.04-70.28. It doesn’t keep me from having the top seed in the playoffs, but a two-game losing streak isn’t quite what I was hoping for going into the postseason. Oh Hai, bitch! But I hear there’s a Christmas card headed my way, so I can’t be overly upset, and Denny avoids the cellar with the win, a place reserved for Chad D.’s Deflated Balls, who took yet another beating. His 136.78-67.70 loss to Touchdown There was like an Old Yeller finish to a horrible season. Hey boys, remember when he was talking so much shit during the draft? With the win, Tim moved into the third position for the playoffs.
In other games this past week, Murphys Law locked up the second seed with a close win against The Jaws of Geno, 115.24-111.08, which puts Nick into the eighth spot heading into the playoffs and a matchup with me in the quarterfinals. Given his point total this week and how my team has been playing, I’m honestly not feeling great about it. Had Nick won this matchup, he would have been moved up to the seventh position, which will be held by Wayne’s Awesome Team, who took a beating from Garrett’s G Force. Wayne, I got nothing but love for you brother, but I was rooting to play you this week, mainly because I think I had a better chance to win. But you’ve got bigger fish to fry with playing Murph in the quarterfinals.
In the fourth spot will be the Chi-Town Smackdowns. At least one Chad could make the playoffs. Okay, that’s the last crack I’ll make about Chad D., but Chad F. is gearing up for the quarterfinals after beating Art’s Vatos Locos. Chad was actually in the third spot when the week started, but slipped to fourth even with scoring 114.36 points. It’s just that Touchdown There scored so many that he overtook Chad in total points, beating him by a total of 12.74 points over a 13-week period. Good stuff. And don’t worry about Art…he’s leading the field in the Pick ‘Em Contest. Rounding out the playoff field are Daniel’s Bigfoot in Sandals and Jack’s 12.5 or Die in the 5th and 6th spots, respectively. Jack got the win this week in their matchup, but just didn’t win by enough, finishing with the same record as Daniel, but fell 15.24 points short in the standings.
Let’s take a look at all of the final scores from Week 13, and get ready for the first round of the playoffs on our way to Binge Bowl I.

Thanks Luke for doing this, eventhough I didn’t do as well as I would have wanted still had a lot of fun, plus I wasn’t as terrible as Chad D. Also was fun trash talking Episode IV, and inadvertently helping create his new persona of Jack Valley. But I can be the bigger man now and wish him well in the playoffs…. But I won’t and I hope he loses miserably and gets bounced out in the 1st round. I can forgive but I do not forget. Thanks Luke and hope to do it again next year.

Art, it was certainly a pleasure to have you in the league…and I’m certainly with you…fuck Episode IV or Jack Valley or 12.5 or Die or whatever he’s calling himself this week. That bastard gave me two of my three losses, but I think he’s got a beating coming this week. We’ll definitely be doing this again next year, and those in the league this year will have the first right of refusal. It was great to have you on the show at the start of the season, and while nothing is set in stone just yet, I’m mulling over plans for a Super Bowl preview and may want to bring in a few of the guys from the league as guests when we get to that time, so stay tuned for that. One thing I will ask of you is to just have a bad fucking week in the Pick ‘Em Contest…I’m trying to catch up and it’s really difficult when you keep doing so well.

Don’t worry man I think this week is gonna be the week I falter. Do me a favor and take out Valley if it comes down to you two. But the pleasure was all mine I’ll definitely do my homework next year and look forward to more of you’re sportscast especially this upcoming wrestle cast with this God awful PPV.
