Someone paying actual moneys for Jordan Love was not something I expected. Well played, sir.

I already regret having to start him. Carr vs Love was not a debate I saw myself needing to have at this point of the season. NFL schedulers should all be fired.

2018: finished second place
2019: finished third place
2020: SCENE MISSING*
2021: first round bye. Bounced in 2nd round of playoffs.
2022: bounced in 1st round of playoffs.
2023: missed playoffs entirely

I literally get worse every. single. year.

What a collapse! There will be a closed door, players-only meeting at the Yeast Mode facility today. Beat reporters are reporting that the sound of chairs being thrown could be heard coming from the locker room.

Pro-tip: You can avoid a late season collapse by collapsing in week 3 like I did!

"Hmm, I'm passing by my bottle shop today, maybe I'll pick up a few things for beer league. Ooh, this is nice. Wait, did I get one of these already? Or this? I don't think so, better grab them*. Oh poo poo, they have that in stock? Hmmm, maybe I should send out one of these this year. Oh hey, I always send out a bottle of this... though maybe I should try to vary it a bit going forward. Nah, I'll get one."

I'm an idiot who blows a hole in my beer budget every year. The plus side is I always end up buying more than I can physically ship so whatever is leftover, I keeps. :cheers:

Alright, I meant to add Patrick Taylor to my 20-team league team and hosed up and did it in this league instead. I revised that and it now occurs to me this is probably the kind of thing that shouldn't be done without approval. I'm willing to just live with the mistake if the consensus is "no, you did something stupid, deal with it."

Fwiw, I also drafted Eric Gray over Jerome Ford in dynasty this year because I thought Gray was the Browns backup RB and didn't check before clicking. I am not a smart man. :shepface:

Update: current hi score box holder is Consolation Prize after putting up 154.66 in week 13.

Only thought to check because I realized if I'd just left Goff in I would have had 155.62 and taken the box. Second time I've benched him and it's bitten me in the rear end. :argh:

E: looks like it wouldn't have mattered!

:siren: It's Championship Time! :siren:

Zam's Blasting Tapes and Ayudo's Gose the Distance face off in the title game and are both guaranteed to win a quantity of beer. If you guys have any general preferences it wouldn't be a bad idea to state them now. This is Zam's 4th title game appearance in 6 years, after a two-year drought. Is he primed for another three-peat? No offense but god, I hope not.

In the 3rd-place game, fighting it out for two boxes of beer are Coronaball's Pliny the Younghoe Koo and Worthleast's Seven-Round Mock Draught. A bitter conclusion to Mock Draught's incredible year, but he still has an opportunity to come away with something to show for it. And as last year's champ he might even have a few drops left from 2022!

Meanwhile, despite a hell of a tough year, my own awful team, Gofftoberfest's, has banged out two wins in the consolation bracket and has a shot to come away with a box if it can beat fellow Ale division team and last year's bronze medalist Veritek and his squad, Saison Barley.

Double checked and Seven-Round Mock Draught is still in possession of the high score box with, so even if the 3rd place game doesn't go his way, he'll still have this to hang his hat on.

If you're new to the league this year or have moved since last year, please let me know the state/general region you're in so I'll know for shipping assignments.

Good luck to everyone! :cheers:

I guess the 3rd place match isn't a bad fate for a team that spent half its auction budget on Chubb and Pollard. But what a disgusting performance by my team. Literally no one except Hurts did poo poo.

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
Excited to be competing for something, at least. I've had a weird season off the field, so to speak, so sorry for being a little bit checked out, but this league is one of my favorites.

Goon Beer League 2023 results!

2023 Champion Ayudo/Gose the Distance! (5 boxes)

Silver medalist Zam/Blasting Tapes! (3 boxes)

3rd-place Worthleast/Seven Round Mock Draught! (2 boxes)

The "Eh, Close Enough" consolation trophy winner is Quiet Feet/Gofftoberfest! (1 box) :toot:

The "Dismember the Corpse and Send his Widow a Corsage" High Score Trophy also goes to Worthleast/Seven Round Mock Draught for his week 5, 161-point thrashing of SouthShoreSamurai/Consolation Prize! This earned Worthleast one more box for a total of three!

I'll have shipping assignments posted at some point within the next 72 hours. Congrats to all winners but also thank you to everyone who played this year, and Happy New Year to all! :cheersbird:

We did it! And, my first year finishing in the money in this league!

My sincerest gratitude to Rachaad White, Kyren Williams, and Rashee Rice who all turned out to be the biggest value picks in the draft and waiver wire. Wish I had snared them in my other league.

Grats all! It was a fun year. Led the league in points most of the year, so a little disappointing to get shut out at the end.
