Bragging Rights Almanac

  VICTORY Ready for a Full Load is satiated through the efforts of Alvin, Mike, and Co. --- “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be.” ―   Winston S. Churchill   While some may argue that the above quote was in reference to World War II, many scholars within the Ready for a Full Load organization believe Churchill was foreshadowing the perilous fantasy football season that 2020 would deliv...

It was a tough week for the Rhinos as we digested the reality of narrowly missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year. After starting the year playing roulette with B-/C+ QBs in above average matchups and then having my own kicker outscore them, I realized that I was in worse trouble than Steve on draft night, 2018. Fortunately, the high-flying young rookie from Oregon emerged after Tyrod’s lung was punctured about 15 minutes before their week 2 matchup against the Chiefs. We all know the story. With the momentum that Herbert was gaining, the Rhinos seemed to be ascending faster than Zoom's stock during a global pandemic. Of course, that was until this past Sunday.  On that note, I have also felt called to address the thrown game that ended up being one of a few stars that aligned in order for Stevie to make the playoffs over myself.
