CLBB staff chatter: Week 7 edition Below are a compilation of sports radio-friendly segments compiled by the CLBB staff relating to the upcoming week of games, the season leading up to today, or the topical world of our expansion-friendly owners ready for their profit-sharing bonuses. Winners/Losers Winner: Top QB’s Of the virtual library of statistics that is profootballreference.com, the Fantasy Stats section occupies a small corner. Within that corner though includes a handy little stat dubbed VBD (Value Based Drafting) popularized by Joe Bryant in the 1990’s. It’s defined as:  the players fantasy points minus the fantasy points of the baseline player, where the baseline player is the  12th-ranked QB, the 24th-ranked RB, the 30th-ranked WR, or the 12th-ranked TE Of the top 10 players ranked in VBD now, four are QB’s (Allen, Jackson, Hurts, Mahomes).Now you may say “Max, of course QB has the most in the top 10, they score the most points” or “we only have eight teams so this...

 

  CLBB 2022 Preseason Rankings Boys what a draft!!! The Sloan Surprise, boating all over the Tampa Bay, drafting, poker, baseball, stump, the list goes on. We did the year 10 draft the right way and this owner wouldn’t have had it any other way. Some flew, others drove, and one did both. Great commitment! Before we get into the rankings, I want to point out something that was defiantly the low point but worth mentioning. Boys we sat at a restaurant for a little over 2 hours and had an unpleasant experience to say the least. But through that whole endeavor we stuck it out. Pat wanted to leave knowing this was a downer for the group, but Tyler said absolutely not, and do you know what this group of fine men did? We stayed. We didn’t split, we didn’t all complain about the executive decision to stay, we didn’t have some people go back to the condo or go to the bar or go walk around the docks and look at the sights. We stayed right at that table in solidarity with Pat. Even sending...

  Facts to establish off the bat:   -When I refer to the league, I of course am referring to the eight-man collective that is Bragging Rights -Through the 2020 season, the league average for points scored for per week is 99.7 -Through the 2020 season, the league average for points scored against per week is 99.86 -Through the 2020 season, our collective league record is 503-505 (.499%) -As a league, we will forever have a losing record and will forever be in the red for scoring I wanted to establish that off the top because it speaks to the spirit of this league. This league is gritty, full of grinders that refuse to quit.  After starting the season 0-5 and accepting the likelihood of having the first losing season in our franchise history, we shift our attention to avoiding the worst record in league history, the infamous 3-13 Glenn’s 2014 season. In order to sustain some optimism, we turn to the numbers. Here's the information that has My Dads Dri...

 CLBB Week 2 Recap Washed Columnist Max Seng Big Oof (2-0) defeats The Demi-God Strikes Back (1-1) Final: 84.78-74.82 We open up this week's recap with a real rock fight as newly-anointed Bag Boy vacuumed up our commissioner's short-lived revenge tour against unknown assailants.  An effortless 19.7 from McCaffrey and another 16.9 from the $40 tight end Kelce was enough to get by the guy who buys then frames photos of himself. For all the fair market value Steve noted he took advantage of (?) at the draft, Demi-God followers have privately questioned playing Corey Davis against a stout Pats D. Nonetheless, the year is young and despite starting 2-0, King of the Oofs made major moves this week against the advice of his financial advisor, spending $58 on three different free agents no one else bid over $10 for. Both these players are still searching for their first championship, and aren't messing around, as evidenced by their words and their dollars. Rowdy Rhinos (2-0) defeat...
