I’ve done it!!! After a long, long wait, I have returned to the top of the mountain. My Monkey Butlers (inspired by this thread here) did it. We were up by 14.7 points heading into the Monday Night game, with Marques Colston and Roddy White, going against Drew Brees.
Of course, given my luck, the opponent’s QB would break a yardage record and throw for 4 TDs. But my own guys did just fine.
Smells like victory! Who else?
It’s going to smell like Beef in here …
I hope not. I’m vegan.
It was a difficult year for me in many of my leagues. I was a proponent of a handful of “breakout” players and almost all of them were underwhelming and/or injured. These players spanned most of my leagues and I started the season in the cellar of just about every league. Through some very aggressive and active management of the waiver wire I salvaged most leagues and got into the middle of the pack and challenged for the postseason.
In one league, with a pair of backup RBs (Michael Bush and Ben Tate) and makeshift group of QBs that I played matchups with (Andy Dalton, Matt Hasselbeck and Alex Smith) I deftly navigated my way into the playoffs and subsequently won the title this weekend.

Congrats, Omni. It’s always rewarding when a waiver-wire pickup turns out to be instrumental to winning.
My Monkey Butlers lost their Rd.1 draft pick - Jamaal Charles - early on, not to mention their QB (Roethlisberger) and I used a committee approach. The final three weeks had a number of WW studs:
QB: Timothy Tebow (who did NOT invent kneeling to pray)
RB: Reggie Bush
WR: Victor Cruz
TE: Jermaine Gresham
DEF: Seattle (who stunk this week, but got me 30 pts in the semifinals)
I crack up, thinking about winning a championship with the Tebow-man. Go Broncos! Go Gators!
I was in two Sports Illustrated leagues on Facebook, and won one of the leagues with my Cheeseheads. Of my 8 starters in the championship game, only two (asterisked below) were on my original drafted roster; I picked everyone else up on waivers.
QB: Cam Newton
RB: Darren Sproles
RB: Pierre Thomas
WR: Marques Colston *
WR: Eric Decker (yup, I won the championship game while getting 0 points out of one position)
TE: Jermichael Finley *
K: David Akers
DEF: San Francisco
Thank you, Saints, for exploding on offense on Monday night! 
Yorkshire Pudding was invented in the late 1770’s during a beef shortage. A person could be given a little bit of beef and soak up the gravy with the pudding thereby fooling his stomach into thinking he was having a fuller dinner than he actually was.
Oh, yeah …Cliff’s Clavins won the first ever Oak Bowl.
interesting league with two QBs ( I lucked out with Rivers and Brady ( a good ole Bostonian like myself))
Also, in the news…my alter ego Duke’s Devils came in second in the SDBM auction league
This was my first year in the league.
Not in any Dope leagues, but I did win my Yahoo money league championship. I thought I had no chance after Romo went out, getting me 0 points from my QB position, but I won anyway.
I’m quite happy to have won my work league. I’m sure some of the money will be spent buying a couple of rounds at happy hour, but I’ve got bragging rights for the year.
