Welcome to a brand new season of Armchair Fantasy Football folks. While we're still battling out the final prized spots in our grueling baseball league, many of you are looking to start fresh this fall. With the completion of Week 1, let's look at the numbers:
So I know I've churned out my fair share of metrics, but this one should be a lot simpler. Basically it asks: "For each week, what is my winning percentage if I had faced EVERYONE?" So as we can see, Duke Football has a projected win percentage of 100% only because it's only been 1 week and he had the highest point total so it didn't matter who he faced, he would have beat everyone. I'm not here to say that he will stay at 100% for long, but as time goes on, it gives us a good indicator of where people should be in the standings.
So here's what we can extract thusfar. Deep Throw It, as we can see from the league standings, scored the least points out of all teams that are 1.000. They were lucky to get a league win since they only had a 4/9 chance of facing a team with a worse point total than them. But they are the only team to have defied the odds this week. Everyone else is close to where they should be based on who they faced this week.
Take this week (and perhaps all remaining weeks) with a grain of salt. This is just Week 1 and so there is not a lot to conclude here.
MEDIA TIME!
This following clip (with help from Kevin Drakulic) perhaps needs an introduction. From Wikipedia:
Trailer Park Boys is a popular Canadian comedic mockumentary television series created and directed by Mike Clattenburg that focused on the misadventures of a group of trailer park residents, some of whom are ex-convicts, living in a fictional trailer park located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.This clip revolves around a character named Ricky. Again, from Wiki:
Richard (Robb Wells), commonly referred to as "Ricky" by Julian, (and sometimes called "Richard" by Lahey) enjoys marijuana, mild and spicy pepperoni, chips, cigarettes and alcohol. Trademarks: black track pants; mangling the English language ("Rickyisms"); hitting people up for cigarettes (mainly Cory and Trevor); listening to 80's rock bands such as Helix, April Wine and Kim Mitchell; driving the "Shitmobile" around the park; threatening to sue the cops when they arrest him; never accepting blame for anything illegal or irresponsible he has done; and pointing out how his brain is inferior to everyone else's ("You know I've only got my grade 10"). Ricky is widely known for his "Rickyisms" which are his mispronunciation of words, phrases and names.Here is a collection of Ricky's most famous Rickyisms:
And for our second one, a tribute to Patrick Swayze:
And then for kicks, let's include Luke's rap parody/ballad about Kanye. (TEAM TAYLOR!):
Thank you all.
