Ladies and gentlemen. This most likely will be the last rankings of the year, as I will be out and about enjoying a little vacation next Wednesday. This last rankings post won't be nearly as entertaining as last week (said I had 26 freaking pageviews, all on 12/12 last week!!! and I've also taken a self-imposed hiatus from partying until New Years Ever as I destroyed my body from the Epic Wednesday party and have been sick for almost two weeks now), but I promise to leave you with an entertaining wrap up article once the fantasy season is over. Most likely that will consist of me bitching, but I'll try and throw in a little analysis, and maybe even a few recommendations for next year's fantasy football season.
Without further ado, here are the FINAL RANKINGS OF 2012!!!!!!!

Week 15 Rankings
First let me apologize to everyone for not posting any rankings last week. There is no excuse; however you're going to hear one anyways.
So here's the story:
Sitting at work at 7:00 at night last Wednesday (not something I ever enjoy, but I had no choice) my buddy sends me a text: "Butter, what are you doing tonight?" For those of you who don't know, Butter is my nickname. There's a long semi-boring story behind it, which I will save for another time.
So anyways, he asks me what I'm doing, which I respond with, "At work, leaving shortly, going home to eat dinner. But if you want to get up to a shenanigan or two, I'm up for it. I could use a drink anyways after the day I've had."
I get a phone call immediately following the text from my buddy saying he's staying at a hotel tonight in the city of Pittsburgh because he has business he needs to do early in the morning the next day. He asks if I want to hang out tonight, dinner, maybe a bar or two, see where the night goes. Of course I say yes.
About two hours later I'm sitting a Japanese steak house called Nakama eating filet mignon and fried rice (which actually wasn't that good at all even though I had been told Nakama had great food). We finish that, I look at my phone and see what bars are around us. Turns out a bar called Carson City Saloon has $2.00 Crown Royal drinks every Wednesday from 10:00-12:00. Crown is our favorite type of alcohol, so clearly we have to go.
One hour later and $18.00 worth of Crown Royal drinks (so freaking cheap. Usually at least $5.00 a drink, and in this case we each had about 4 drinks a piece for only $18.00), we ask this young kid bartending what is there to do around here, whic is code for, where do the hot chicks hang out on a Wednesday night. He says this bar a couple blocks down has a college crowd that picks up around 11:30 at night.
Night is young, so we go. Place is slightly dead but we decide to post up at the corner of the bar anyways. We order a couple more drinks (Crown Royal still) and proceed to shout out random names at the hot bartender until we can get her to turn around and look at us. Turns out her name is Sam. I had guessed Samantha on about my 10th name, so I was real close.
We have one more drink, my buddy turns me and says, hey, go talk to that guy at the table behind us (a group of about 10 people alltogether, a mix of girls and guys) and tell him that we are we work for Crown Royal and that we want to buy him a drink. I look at him and ask if he's serious, and he says absolutely.
So I say to myself, what the hell, I can make this guy believe we work for Crown Royal. I walk over to the guy, introduce myself as a representative of Crown Royal, point to my buddy and say he is one too, and then finish by saying we want to buy him a drink. Of course he doesn't believe me at first, so I say, come on man, seriously, why the hell would I randomly walk up to you introudce myself as a Crown Royal Rep, and offer to buy you a drink if it's not true. So he goes, yeah man, you're right, it's too ridiculous not to be true.
So we buy him a drink, the other 8-9 people a drink, all of Crown Royal of course since we are Crown Royal reps. Then we all do a shot of Crown Royal together. At that point my buddy and are feeling chocolate wasted, so as we are standing at the corner of the bar that we've hijacked, as anyone comes up (only girls of course at this point), we offer to buy them a drink. Of course they look suspiciously at us, but they figure it's a free drink, so why the hell not.
This goes on for a while, drinking lots of Crown Royal, I meet a group of 3 girls, of which one is pretty cute, so my buddy says to go for it, and I do. I chat her up a little. Turns out she loves the Green Bay Packers!!!! I'm like, freaking awesome, my favorite team too!!!
As I'm talking to this girl my buddy says he wants to leave, I say sure, I turn to the girl and say, hey do you and your friends want to come with us. She wants to know we are going, I tell her where (which I cannot speak of in this blog as it is inappropriate, but two drunk guys, I'm sure you can figure it out), she says she really wants to go with us which surprises the hell out of me and I think is completely awesome!! She asks her friends, they suck and say no, and she says she can't leave her friends. So my buddy and walk out the door, catch a cab and take off. (should have got her phone number by the way, but oh well, not used to doing that)
Yada Yada Yada, I get home at 5:00 in the morning and wake up an hour and 15 minutes later to shower and go to work.
So that's my excuse. I won't lie, going out with my buddy, way more fun than ranking fantasy football players. But nontheless I apologize to those of you who depend on this week and week out, while at the same point, seriously, at 31 and single, you can't blame me.
Now let's see those rankings!!!!!!!

Week 13 Rankings
Alright kids, this is the last week for most of you prior to the fantasy football playoffs. Some of you are sitting pretty and have already clinched your playoff spot; which means that you most likely are going to ride the players that got you there, so feel free to ignore any of my upcoming rambling.
Others may be fighting for a nice little wild card spot, while others are sitting there wishing they hadn't wasted $100 as they are currently residing in the basement of their league.
So for those last two scenarios, I feel for you, cause I'm fighting for the playoffs in 2 leagues and residing in the cellar of the other one (unfortunately the $100 league).
But regardless of what situation you find yourself in, as I say every year, DON'T STOP PLAYING!!!!! That goes especially to those already out of the playoffs. Too many times over the years I've seen people just give up cause they aren't playing for anything anymore and they stop caring about picking up guys off the waiver wire or starting players with better matchups. I plead with you, don't be one of these people!!! Continuing to play keeps the league balanced and doesn't allow the top tier teams to stack there rosters from the waiver wire going in to the playoffs, and hell you may even beat one of those teams to at least salvage some pride.
With that said, here are your rankings for week 13!!!

Week 12 Rankings
First let me apologize for any of you who rely on my rankings being posted on Wednesday. I had completely intended to post them yesterday, however I got a little distracted partying it up on the biggest party night of the year and wasn't home until 10:30 last night, and with absolutley no energy to spend a couple of hours putting the rankings together.
But fear not, I woke up early this beautiful Thanksgiving morning to spend some time getting the rankings together, and without further ado, as I need to get ready to go to my Aunt and Uncle's house in Youngstown, OH for a great Thanksgiving Day, here are the rankings!!!

Week 11 Rankings
Praise the lord!!! Hallelujah!!! God Save the Queen!!! Whatever you want to say, Romeo Crennell finally, finally, finally decided that he should probably give the ball to his best player, Jamaal Charles. And shocker!!!!!!! Charles carried the ball 23 times for 100 yards, and 1 touchdown. And after starting 1-7, they took the Pittsburgh Steelers to OT (eventually lost, which disappointed me as I despise the Steelers, but at least they made it game). So amazing what happens when you give your best player the touches he needs. Not only does it create a nice day for fantasy owners (like myself who owns him in all 3 of his leagues) but also gives you the chance to win a real life football game against a pretty good (disgusts me to say that) team.
So that means to me that Romeo must have read my blog a few weeks ago when I blasted him. Clearly I have the power to influence change on the grand NFL stage. So if you need any messages passed on, just let me know and I'll be sure to pass them on.
Week 11 Bye Weeks:
Minnesota Vikings: Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Kyle Rudolph, D/ST
New York Giants: Eli Manning, Ahmad Bradshaw, Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks, Martellus Bennett
Seattle Seahawks: Marshawn Lynch, D/ST
Tennessee Titans: Chris Johnson, Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright, Nate Washington, Jared Cook
Really not too many players on the bye, but pay close attention to Denarius Moore in my WR Rankings, making his first appearance in the top 10 ever!!!! Helps that he's playing the most atrocious defense in the league in the New Orleans Saints! (also note that Carson Palmer makes it in to the top 10 QBs as well for the same reason)
On to the rankings!!!!!!!

Week 10 Rankings
I don't even know where to start with this week's post. I want to complain about how the fact in my big money league that every single freaking week, whoever I'm playing against, seems to have the best score they have had up to that point in the season. Seriously, just ridiculous!!! And it's not like my team sucks. They don't, even with stupid fat Romeo Crennel single handidly trying to take my fantasy season and flush it down the toilet by never giving Jamaal Charles the ball. I manage to put up a respectable score most weeks. But whatever, you don't come to my blog to hear me complain.
What you do come for is for the rankings. I'm officially over 1,000 pageviews total for the life of my blog (3 years), reaching a total, as of 10 minutes ago, of 1,027 pageviews!!! So thanks to all who have supported my blog and make me want to keep on posting every week!!
Week 10 Bye Weeks:
Cleveland Browns: Trent Richardson (seriously, no on else matters on that team, but maybe Brandon Weeden in the future. Shame he's 29 and just a rookie.)
Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, James Jones, Alex Green, D/ST
Arizona Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald, LaRod Stephens-Howling, D/ST
Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III, Alfred Morris

Week 9 Rankings
Romeo Crennel, the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, is by the far the worst coach in the history of the NFL!!!!!! I thought maybe it was just because he was coaching the Cleveland Browns in the past couple of years and he had nothing to work with that made him bad, but after watching what he has done with the Chiefs so far this year, I can absolutely say he is the worst coach I have ever seen (and that's not even getting in to the fact that he's obese and looks completely disinterested every time the camera is on him). How, I ask you how, do you only give Jamaal Charles, one of the best and most complete backs in the league, only 5 freaking carries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, one of the most explosvie and dynamic running backs only gets 5 carries? That Romeo Crennel is why you have only won 1 game all year, and that came against the Saints who have the worst defense in the league in OT!
You should be ashamed of yourself for pretending that you possess even an ounce of football knowledge, and owners of the Chiefs, you should be ashamed for letting nicely plump Crennel dupe you in to hiring him. Which means obviously that while he sucks at coaching, he's real real good at interviewing. So congrats to you on that Crennel, you are the world's best interviewer and at the same time the world's worst football coach. You embarass me personally as I own Jamaal Charles in all 3 of my leagues and he put up one of the most putrid stat lines a top 5 fantasy back has ever put up thanks to your blatant idiotness of givng your best player only 5 carries. Plus, I had him as my #1 back in Week 8's rankings, embrassing me even further. I hate you Romeo Crennel. The End!!!
Ok, now that I have blasted Crennel, let's move on to the bye weeks and rankings!
Teams on Bye (get these players out of your lineup!!):
New England Patriots: Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Stevan Ridley (this is going to hurt a lot of people this week if they drafted backups poorly)
New York Jets: Shonn Greene (the Jets suck, but I felt bad not including anyone, so I chose Greene)
San Francisco 49ers: Frank Gore, Alex Smith, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, D/ST
St. Louis Rams: Steven Jackson and maybe some of you own the Rams D/ST
If you need to pick anyone up, look at your waiver wire and compare to the rankings below. If you have any questions, either e-mail me at mattymccall@gmail.com or post a comment.
