I saw somewhere that something like 20.5% of teams in championship games (out of a 50% possibility) have ODB on their roster. This seems insane to me. The only guy I could think of would have been Gates in 2004 because of the position he played and the fact that he had 13 TDs as a TE, but I wasn't playing in drafting leagues back then, only salary cap out of a pool of players. Does anyone recall another guy like this? Miles Austin did some wonky things out of nowhere. Also CJ Spiller was like a week 13 + waiver pickup that just upset the whole fantasy playoffs one year. Gordon might have been undrafted in some leagues last year, even. This sort of thing is common. This is why I am in favor of waiver regulations that dont let you pick up a player after he has had a good game. | ||

Forgot about Austin in 2009 (~1300 yards and 12 TDs after doing nothing the year before) but ODB has basically done that in 11 games. The sheer impact of that kind of performance over the matchups in which he participated must be astounding. Another one I remembered: I think Drew Bennett had like 8 TDs in the fantasy playoffs in like 2004. | ||

He's always been a huge baby. Him whining about running up the score was hilarious considering how often he did it. I actually like the Seahawk players, especially now that Golden Tate is gone. Sherman's loud mouth bullshit is funny, and he can back it up | ||

He was a waiver wire pickup in every league. I don't remember what his fantasy playoff performances were like that year though. | ||

Who the hell came up with that? Worst part is when you go to a game against the Seahawks, all you hear whenever Lynch runs the ball is "BEAST MODE" over and over again. Doesn't matter if it's a 10 yard run or a 2 yard run. Most freaking uncreative nickname I've ever heard. That said, people just hate whoever is winning. There's obviously a lot of bandwagoners for Seattle but they have a lot of fans that have cheered for them for a long time, and they got absolutely screwed by the refs in that Super Bowl against the Steelers a few years back. There's teams much more worthy of hate than Seattle (like Denver) | ||
