Let's Talk Vick

Never known as a prolific passer. Certainly not high on the all time accuracy charts, with a career 53.8 completion percentage. Hell, in six NFL seasons (one plagued with injury), he only threw for 71 touchdowns. Tom Brady threw 50 touchdowns in one season (albeit a record that may not be challenged for many years to come, it is important to keep in mind).
Passing was not the thing that kept our eyes glued to the big screen on Sundays and Monday nights when Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons took the field. It was Vick's elusiveness, his all out raw speed, his instinct to find the open hole, his ability to avoid tacklers. In fact, these are the exact same reasons we as football fans are still so obsessed with this athlete. Yes, Vick has spent two years in federal prison; yes, he will always be labeled as a convicted felon; yes, his crimes and lies will never be forgotten. BUT, neither should his raw instinctual talent. That "football instinct" is not something that cannot be taught to a young kid playing in pop warner, nor is it something that can be lost after being locked up for two years. Michael Vick was the premier athlete in the National Football League only three seasons ago; there is no reason to believe his talent has diminished to the point that he will not start another NFL game as QB1.

The Results Are In - Eric H is sobbing uncontrollably

Above is the photo taken of Eric H. after our Tier 1 FFOC draft that took place last night. See you in week 2! SUCKER!!!!!

You guys have NO IDEA how much I'd love to post the results of this draft here on my blog. Unfortunately, out of respect for myself and Eric H. I won't post our results. That would be unfair, and would defimate my integrity. I will say this, however, Eric H had the first overall pick. Any bumbling idiot, even Eric H., can draft in the first three rounds and not mess up. But it appeared that Eric H. fell asleep in rounds 4-15...simply just stupid pick after stupid pick. Defenses in round 9? Come on now? Is that how a champion drafts? I think not! I will give him a little bit of credit, Eric H. did get on a little bit of a roll in rounds 16-20, but unfortunately it may have been too little, too late! Hahaha

FFOC

I created this site so more people can get a taste of what goes on in in and around the FFOC website and their related forum. So far my team, Socrates, is trying to lure Eric H into a Q-school match, however he seems to be unwilling to accept my challenge. I may have to meet him in FFOC’s tier 1 draft. Other teams have accepted my challenge, but more than anything in the world, I want to bury Eric H deep in the fantasy abyss. I have labeled him a ½ chicken until he meets me in a FFOC draft. Aside for Eric H, FFOC has a lot to offer: $1,000,000,000 prize, hundreds of other cash prizes, live drafts multiple times a day with tough competition, and a wonderful forum. Come join the fun at FFOC, where $10 can transorm into $1,000,000...overnight!!

Who Am I? Why Am I the KING?

This is my blog. I am not affiliated with Fantasy Football Open Championship (FFOC) in ANY way; other than being an avid player! :) The ideas posted here in my blog are solely my ideas. It would be greatly appreciated if you have any issues with what might be said on this blogspot, please deal with me directly as opposed to contacting FFOC, since I am not affiliated with them at all (as already mentioned). This site is solely for entertainment and is not designed to offend anyone. Of course I have never been on to shy away from trash talk :) Comments are ALWAYS encouraged! PLEASE leave your feedback on my assorted opinions and posts. I also welcome any and all who dare to challenge the KING of Fantasy Football (me, team name Socrates) in any FFOC challenge. I have over 30 Q-school teams and 3 Tier 1 teams. My ultimate goal is to win the $1,000,000 grand prize in Vegas from the FFOC. Many have criticized my strategy of drafting Q-school teams. I look at it as bettering my probability of striking gold, and drafting that million dollar team! After compteting in numerous rotobowls and large entry/high prize pool leagues, I have discovered winning the million is based highly on getting lucky. Of course you must draft intelligently pre-season, along with making the smart matchup decisions during the early weeks of the season; however placing all of that aside, having that golden team has to be part of your destiny! :) why not pay $10 per destiny opportunity as opposed to $75, $125, or $275?!

A brief history of my fantasy football career includes the following. I have dominated CBS sports where I have won 3 double diamond championships and numerous diamond championships. I have played on fantasysportslive.com for a year. This site is fantastic. It is a daily fantasy sports site. I have accumulated 496 wins and I am in the top 20 on their all time leader board. I love talking, blogging, and drafting fantasy football teams! Have a discussion or a thread you want to discuss? Feel free to comment below!!! Happy DRAFTING!
