Playoffs??? Playoffs!!!
I know…I know…the suspense is killing you.
Ever since I first mentioned it weeks and weeks and weeks ago, you’ve been waiting with baited breath, following along daily, hoping, praying for an update, a notification, a tiny morsel of information to keep your voracious appetite sated…and at long last, it is come:
Week 14 is complete…and my team, Vote for Pedro, has made my fantasy football playoffs!
It was an uphill battle from the start. After foregoing top ranked QBs and WRs and building my team around a strong running game, I was hamstrung by early injuries to Stephen Davis and Tyrone Wheatley. To complicate matters, Jeff Garcia proved right away that he was unable to play inside the pressure-cooker of my fantasy football team.
Long story short, the balance of my season has been occupied by plugging in a cornucopia of has-beens and never-weres into the two most important positions in our league: Garcia’s futility opened a QB spot for Vinny Testaverde (ay!) who gave way to Josh McCown (double ay!) then Shaun King (this can’t be happening) then Luke McCown (“Brooks was here”) and then, for this past week, back to Vinny—with a promise of McCown the Elder starting in my first playoff game. The WR/RB slot—where, it should be noted, WR dare not tread—I’ve had a rotisserie of Amos Zereoue, Brad Hoover, Lamont Jordan, T.J. Duckett, Mike Alstott, Antwan Randle El, Robert Ferguson and Cedrick Wilson filling the slots specifically reserved for Mssrs. Davis and Wheatley.
Cest la vie.
Despite a Week 14 loss (doubled up by a girl! damn you, Em!), a 5-9 cumulative record and a 7th place finish in a league of 10 teams, Vote for Pedro WILL be making an appearance in the Fantasy Postseason. So watch your ass, Ron Reagan’s Ghost! Check your rearview, Favre’s Last Stand! You’ve got a big heaping helpin’ of trubble comin’ at you, and when I’m done, you’re gonna have a big fat V4P-shaped welt in the middle y’forehead. ANYTHING can happen in the playoffs, baby. ANTYTHING!!!
Did I mention there’s money riding on this?
