2.9.x has been a PITA to upgrade. Automatic upgrade hasn’t been working on 2 of my installations. Manual upgrade isn’t so bad but still it isn’t as convenient.
I really hate Sony mp3 player software. Specifically X-application. I realize it is a Japan only release but why doesn’t it work on Win7 64 and why does it not properly support unicode. Ugh. Just terrible. And why do their players only handle embedded album images. Sure, that’s a cleaner way of doing it but WMP doesn’t do it. Really annoying.
CoreAVC 2 is out and it supports Win7 and 32/64. As soon as I can get a working copy and serial, I’ll upgrade and see how the netbook and AMD HD3200 handle it. I’m trying to get away from MPC-HC if I can since I’m getting annoying playback errors. Not showstopping but annoying.
This has been a really fun fantasy season. I want to thank everyone for competing and for reading this junk I write too. And thanks to Dave for being the Commish again. Just a few comments to wrap the year up.
*Week 16 Review
I actually don’t like my games to be exciting. I want to be up by a lot really early. I was actually feeling pretty good during that Thursday game when he had 4 of his players going. Somewhere in the 4th quarter, I thought his team was pretty well contained and the Chargers were just grinding clock with a huge lead against the Titans. Then some mother-fucker Charger RB named Hester fumbled the fucking ball and set up a Chris Johnson 30 yard TD run. I knew that was really bad news. The rest of the games were difficult. My team didn’t score any TDs. I didn’t have a single player break out, though no one was miserable. I expected at least 15 more points out of my team. I left just 6 points on my bench but it wasn’t enough. There are no easy games when it is single elimination.
Congratulations to Chris for a repeat victory. He had a really difficult road getting here with his RB injuries and a trade that was pretty much a dud. But he pulled through 2 though games. Heck, his last 4 games were must win.
Derek won over Kevin to get 3rd place but it is only worth 5000 yen more. He did it player a terrible DST and the right RB a week too late. I’m sure Kevin is happy about the generous payout structure.
*My team
I had a pretty amazing team this year. Fuckers didn’t show up for week 16 but still, great team. I finally realize why folks are so focused on RBs. I had 2 RBs that I could plug in every week and not worry much about the matchup. They were really consistent sources for points. I’ve had at most one good RB in the past on my team and having 2 really takes a team up a few notches.
My team and Chris’ team had strong RBs in common. But more importantly, we had great value at the RB position. I want to say Ray Rice was the best value player drafted this year but Rice was drafted Round 12. Ricky Williams was drafted Round 16. Benson was Round 10. Thomas Jones went Round 7.
Playing the wire was really difficult when you go last for pretty much the whole season. It took some brilliant foresight to pick up Jamaal Charles at least a week before anyone else. He’s going to go late first or early second round next year. Rice is going even earlier than that.
I expected a lot more out of Jennings but he wasn’t bad during the postseason. Of course, I traded for Calvin Johnson just for these 2 games. Fitz was as reliable as a RB.
*Draft Strategy
This year, I had a pretty well defined draft strategy. MJD (or AP if Derek was feeling adventurous) first round. RB or Brees second round. WR in the 3rd. WR or TE in the 4th. A WR or Romo in the 5th. It all kind of went to shit since the WRs I expected to go earlier didn’t go. I got to pick up 2 strong WRs in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I managed to get a few players I had on my list like Hester, Romo, Jennings and I even had Crabtree on there. I’m really glad I didn’t get some others like Portis and Braylon Edwards.
Next year, I think I will target a top TE again since having Gates was huge for my team. Having a strong kicker was important too. I expect to do the DST rotation next year too. I don’t expect to invest in a high pick QB. Crabtree is going to be high on my list. Addai won’t be on my team again even if he plays as well as he did this year. I couldn’t start him. But that was probably due to factors like having MJD and Rice. RBs like Ryan Grant and Kevin Smith might be useful backs but I don’t want them. Steady but frustrating. Terrible o-lines. I probably have to stay away from most rookies too. They go too early for the risks involved.
And I still don’t get why folks love Michael Turner. I’d have taken him second round this year and the same next year. But he’s going to go much higher than that. I get the high workload thing but I just don’t find him effective. I think Calvin Johnson is going to be great next year. Stafford can get him the ball. Pierre Thomas should be huge next year. I’ve had Jonathan Stewart on my team a few years now and he is just frustrating to own. He’s been hurt 2 years straight with the tendon problem. He runs behind Williams. But he has the ability to get huge points. Unless he gets traded, or Williams gets traded, I won’t touch him again. Don Brown is probably going to get stuck behind Addai again.
*Next year
I’m sure we will have a discussion on if we should have divisions for next year. I hope we fix our payout structure as well. I suspect it was just kind of overlooked this year. Looking forward to next year.
