Article: Beasts Odd Man Out as SGL Playoffs Begin



And then, there were 8. This past week saw what we see every year. A couple of teams floating around on the bubble that must win to get in. This year we had 2 spots remaining for 3 teams, and when the music stopped, the Beasts found themselves without a chair and back in the Round Risen for the second year in a row. The Snappin' Peas defiantly snapped the Beasts for the second time this season, 123.2 to 68.7. 

The Beasts-one of the original 6- is back in the Round Risen for the 4th time in franchise history- '14, '15, '19, '20. How did they get there? This was a team that started the first month 3-1. They then went on to lose 4 out of 5 games. When I look back at the Beasts season, 2 games stand out. In week 2, a loss to the Snappin' Peas 108.4- 107.88 was an absolute heartbreaker. Will Fuller (PED dude) goosed, and Dak Prescott(Pea) led a massive comeback against the Falcons, posting 39.8 in the process. The other game was last week's devasting loss 155.9-145.4 to the Hound Dogs. 58 points from the Bucs stack wasn't enough to overcome the finally healthy Hounds.                                                                                                                 The Beasts were plagued with bye-weeks this week. This left fans questioning why the Beasts hadn't prepared for losing their starting QB, WR, TE mega Bucs stack. When asked about this, Austin Boister- the owner of the Beasts, said, "We didn't plan on losing to the Hound Dogs."

There is a rumor out that the Beasts are considering a rebrand for next season...


When called on Monday to comment, the Beasts did not return the League Office call.

2022 SGL Season- (late)Midterm Report Cards

Image
Week 10 is over. There are 4 weeks left in the season. There have been some shocking moves and unfortunate losses- as there are with every fantasy season. Let's walk through each team and see what moves and gambles worked and which didn't and where they're likely to finish now. Sobey's Snappin' Peas (2-7) - grade? F (2%) Last year's darling team was a favorite coming out of the draft. He walked away with what was widely considered the 1.01 with Jonathan Taylor($76), then surrounded him with Leonard Fournette ($43) and Najee Harris. Jonathan Taylor has not had a game above 16 points since week 1. JT has had only 3 double-digits.  Najee Harris($55) was BENCHED last week. There are some scary correlations between Najee to Trent Richardson online. Najee has yet to have 14 points in a single week.                                         Jaycee's Jackalopes (4-6) ...

2022 SGL Cup Playoffs: Round 1

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The weather is getting colder, Christmas is coming up, and the 2022 SGL Cup Playoffs are officially here. We have some teams familiar with playing football late into December and some trying to make this more of a holiday tradition! Let's take a look at the 8-maids-a-milking and see which 4 might come up sour.  1.  Walter's Wizards (9-5) Proj: 126.2 vs 8. CDMX Bulldogs (7-7) Proj: 123.1 Congratulations to Walter's Wizards for securing the 1 seed in the 2022 SGL Cup Playoffs. The Wizards went on quite the hot streak to end the season, winning 4/5 and only posting less than 121 once. This is the second time in franchise history- '13; in '13, the Wizards defeated Grant's Gamblers in a way too close, 122-121. The Wizards have faced the Bulldogs 3x, actually, and are (2-1) against them in the playoffs. Most famously, this is a rematch of the 2015 SGL Cup Championship, where the Wizards defeated Juan In A Million 152-94. T...

Week 11 Recap 2020

Image
  Week 11 Recap: Sobey’s Snappin’ Peas(5-6) 132.7 vs Blaster’s Hound Dogs(5-6) 123.4 The Peas snapped their 2 game skid and the heart of the Hound Dogs into tiny pieces this weekend in a huge win to a billion pieces. There was a pod of 3 peas that dominated this Sunday with Herbert, Tyreek, and Adam Thielen combining for 87 points. The Peas, who have traditionally schemed behind the Hound Dogs back when trying to tear them down, made no machiavellian attempt going straight for the kill. The Hound Dogs are now currently sitting in 9th with a MUST-WIN this week against the Beasts(6-5). This is now 2 losses in a row for the Hound Dogs, and they are in jeopardy of missing the playoffs for the first time ever in back-to-back years and this would be the 3rd time in 4 years. Et tu, Sobey? Grant’s Gamblers(3-8) 131.4 vs Sean’s Swans(4-7) 78.32 The Gamblers have been sneakily adding and acquiring pieces to avoid a Round Risen defeat, and it’s paying off. The Gamblers made quick work of...
