Yup sooo if you haven't noticed already, I will not have a shot at my first ring because of an ugly loss BUT that doesn't mean I'm not gonna write... doesn't mean I'm not almost dead inside... but what the hell might as well finish this blog off...
Speaking of that Altoona/Mean Machine game... talk about a shootout. 4 of the best RB's (Arian Foster, M. Jones-Drew, Michael Turner, LeSean McCoy) scored a TOTAL of 28.80 points. Holy shit... excuse my french... that is horrendous... a real shit show... shit, shit, shit. One of the those guys could double that score in a game alone. Both teams played like the Ice Bashers this week but the senior citizen got just enough to advance to his first championship... what a way to do it too... first embrassing the commish and then edging Altoona. And btw weekly notes, cute little dig on my squad... you will get yours... when? Still a while till the 2012 season... but still. And yes 2012 season because the league will have a lockout in 2011... you can quote me on that one.
And in the other semi-final game, the #1 DIRTY actually scored some points this week and beat the veteran Crazy... never an easy task. Crazy lost Peterson 30 mins before game time and Brett Favre put a delay on Joe Webbs production... so join the loser 3rd place game... we are happy to have ya. And it's pretty redic that this is the first time since 2001 that the #1 seed goes to the Ship... breaking through barriers DIRTY... and I don't want to brag but it was my suggestion to bring them into the league... maybe that was a bad idea... whatevs.
................ ok............. onto my LAST preview of the season.... Fantasy Bowl 10 (Screw roman numerals)
#1 DIRTY HARYY v. #6 Mean Machine: No need to beat around the bush... Machine will win by 20+, first time champ, make me feel even less of a human being, have to listen to the commish all year long about how there are 3 rings in the family and I have 0, and all that jazz. So DIRTY, you would be doing me a favor if you win this game... I got you in so you best not disappoint. Even though I could say I lost to the champ... whoppie do da... doesn't matter when it comes to getting verbally abused by the mighty commish... and I have no comeback and it's rather irritating that I don't. So Machine will win so you can just forget all the stuff I said... a pretty solid first two years by the senior citizen... but you if talked to him you would think he has 3 wins and scores under a 100 every game... such a negative nancy.
And how about the 3rd place game... why not? Many experts thought this would be the Championship matchup... but didn't happen. Of course my team will win because history shows that I live for this game. 2004: 3rd place... 2007: 3rd place... three years later (again) 2010: 3rd place. It's my thing, I'm like the Philly Eagles... btw that game sucked the big one on Sunday I hate DeSean Jackson.
--------
Well that about wraps it up for the Altoona View. My recaps usually are a buzz kill so it's not really worth doing a Championship recap. A few weeks ago I was having thoughts about not doing this next season because it seems like it got kinda old doing this twice a week. I had fun doing it and I hope you enjoyed reading every week, but I may or may not do a blog next season... if anything the commish and I will tag team a notes/view into one post each week but who knows... got a lot of time before that.
VOTE in the new poll about the blog...
So this is Ryan signing off, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year as well!

Round 2 PREVIEW
Just when you thought I was going to do this preview late tonight or tomorrow morning I came through to do it on the regular day AND earlier than usual. I have 4 hours till my last final so I'm gonna bang this out now... I know audience is jumping with/for (whatever you prefer) joy.
Before I get started, I want to point out Bear Pascoes newest poetry piece.... hats off for this one... and I appreciate you coming out with this after I called you out... "Roses are red, violets are blue, Aaron Rodgers sucks and my wide receivers do too." Short, sweet, to the point but he really meant to say, "Roses are red, violets are blue, Bear Pascoes chocked again and I will never finish in the top 3."....... I'm not a poet and I already knew it!
And how bout those weekly notes? Usually come out before my preview on Wednesday, but give the commish his space guys, he's in a deep depression and can't bare to write about other team's successes...
2 matchups that actually count and two others in that OTHER bracket... but that's meaningless...
Coming out of the We are all noobs that have never won the title minus CrazyFools Region:
#1 DIRTY HARRY v. #5 CrazyFools: It was looking like DIRTY had no shot to make this game, but sure enough the one seed came through and is looking for their first ever championship appearance... thanks to the rmc who were asleep at the wheel all season. BUT in order for that to happen they have to get through the mighty ginger aka CrazyFools who has not one but two titles under his belt. I am sticking to my pre-playoff prediction because I'm the man and predicted this matchup... so CF will win this one but it will be a nail biter fo sho. Those WR's for Crazy could make or shit the bed for him... so be sure to watch out for that this weekend. With this W, the Fools will be that much closer to having a shot at their 3rd title... which would be a league record and it would make the commish shed a tear or two.... but I have already stated that won't happen so the winner of this game will have the pleasure of losing to the yours truly...
And coming out of The Moore family + the 2nd best looking Light (next to Wally's) Region:
#2 Altoona Giants v. #6 Mean Machine: The marquee matchup of the playoffs... father/better looking son will do battle and it shall be intense... I would hook up a video camera that tapes my reactions throughout the Sunday and Monday games but then again I don't want to make myself look like a crazed lunatic... but it's the playoffs and the Giants HAVE NEVER been to the Ship... so that's an excuse to go bonkers. The Machine have that quite cockiness that he would completely deny but it is a true story. Probably the best part of this matchup is that 2/3 Moore's are still alive in the playoffs WHILE that other one has already been eliminated. The odds of the commish sticking around the majority of Sunday's games in the Moore household is about 75 to 1... so place your bets if you like the underdogs... or eliminated dogs for that matter. Both teams in this one have solid matchups so expect a high scoring game... but Altoona will come through by at least 6 points. It would really suck to lose because that would result in the senior citizen (only in his 2nd season) to advance to his first championship before I have and I've been playing for too long... so there's a lot at stake in this one.

Round 1 RECAP
The playoff field has been cut in half this week with only 4 teams left racing toward the title of Fantasy Bowl X. I just want to throw out there that even though I am in the middle of finals week, I am still sticking to my usual schedule of posts because I don't want to disappoint my crowd. Don't worry Mean Machine, my next two finals are on Thursday so this is one of my "few" study breaks.
The #1/#8 curse was looking like it was going to live on for another year UNTIL Matt Schaub went buck wild throwing every ball to Andre Johnson to put the #1 team ahead. In result, DIRTY HARRY avoids the embarrassing upset and is currently sending love letters to Andre Johnson's mansion in Houston. We may never see how "DIRTY" the material in those letters are... and I don't think we want to.
Even though we all love the curse, at least red moon card's farewell tour has come to a screeching halt... he didn't just get booed off stage, he got tomatoes thrown at him. Happy trails, rmc!
How bout those NITTANY LIONS? Two weeks in a row they get romped by the senior of the household. Scoring 87 points last week and a whopping 80 this week. Can you say OUCH!? No 3rd ring this year commish, enjoy polishing your two fake ones right now because it's gonna be a while till you win another. 302.37 - 168.41 was the total score for these two teams in the last 2 weeks... wow, that's comical.
Bear Pascoes where you at!?! 80 points as well for this solid squad. I would love to read a poem from that team right now... at least our eyes won't have to bleed till next season... another non-top 3 finish for the one and done Pascoes.
And last but certainly not least... those Altoona Giants are one step closer to playing in their first ever championship... The red hot Giants scored 150 this week and are willing to play anybody at this point... this city actually has something to root for now... after their high school team went 0-10. BUT the Machine are looking mighty solid as well so I can't wait for that and the preview.
So far my only wrong playoff predicting was the LIONS... I am 3 for 4.
---------
Be sure to come back FRIDAY morning or THURSAY NIGHT after the game when I PREVIEW ROUND 2... yes Friday because I have 2 exams Thursday and then I'm peacing right after so I won't have time until I get home. Good luck to the remaining 3 plus me.

Round 1 Playoffs PREVIEW
(sing) It's the most wonderfullll time.. of the yearrrrr!!! Nothing beats Christmas time and fantasy football playoffs... a very jolly and intense combo that will sure be a classic this year. Before I preview these round 1 matchups, I just want to throw a congratulations out there to the rest of my playoff mates... as we all race to that fantasy title (and imaginary ring) and the $200 cash prize. I expect friendly competition, good sportsmanship and no bashing of any kind... those rights are held exclusively by the Altoona View... Happy Fantasy Playoffs!....
I have decided to give the two regions in the playoff bracket their very own names. One region will be called the, "We are all noobs that have never won the title minus CrazyFools." And the other region is called, "The Moore family + the 2nd best looking Light (next to Wally's)". Those names are way easier to remember than just simply "North" and "South"... eh?
Let's get going....
We are all noobs that have never won the title minus CrazyFools Region
#1 DIRTY HARRY v. #8 red moon cards: First off, I like how the weekly notes completely just stole my rmc "farewell tour" saying... I guess after 7 years you run out of ideas... but maybe I should be faltered. Speaking of which, rmc is probably the luckiest team to ever make the playoffs on account of them starting at least 2 guys on IR every week. Typically the #8 is on a hot streak at this time and will upset the #1. But that will not be the case this year. Even though DIRTY has a mediocre squad, they will have enough fire power to knock the most active and loyal managers' team out of the playoffs and the league FOR EVAAA... FOR EVAAA (Sandlot... classic). As of right now, rmc has 0 guys starting that are hurt... so this will be a close one. But in his first playoff appearance, HARRY will reverse the curse and advance to round 2. I really hope I don't have to write about rmc's lucky matchup again next week... it's gotta end sooner rather than later when there's $$$ involved.
#4 Bear Pascoes v. #5 CrazyFools: As of right now it looks like the CF are in the last place they would want to be. The Pascoes are too hot to handle right now as they are just lighting up the scoreboard. With favorable matchups for the Pascoes, it is almost stupid to pick against them. BUT that's where I come to play. The experienced CF will win this one and it will be by more than 11 points. Call me crazy (no pun intended actaully) but how good can Lynch and Fred Jackson do week in and week out as your RBs? CF to round 2, Bear eliminated and no shot at their first top 3 finish. BUT if they somehow pull this out, I know a poem is coming.
The Moore family + the 2nd best looking Light (next to Wally's) Region
#3 NITTANY LIONS v. #6 Mean Machine: The rematch of father/son from last week. The LIONS took my advice and took it easy on the Machine in order to stay under his roof for the near future... but maybe they didn't take it easy... maybe they just shit the bed... yeah that's for like it, getting blown out by 57.49 points. BUT the commish has another shot at the only senior cit in the playoffs. Can the Machine beat the mighty LIONS two weeks in a row and have ultimate bragging rights on Mike Jr.?(I know that pisses you off). The answer is no, I can't see Paul Crewe and Co. pulling back to back upsets, as the LIONS will win by a few points and advance to the 2nd round... but it shall be a nail-bitter where the both of them will be freaking out at different times during the matchup... I glad and not glad that I will miss that.
#2 Altoona Giants v. #7 Da MoUnTaInEeRz!!!: That was really annoying to type that name but it's the playoffs so I'm not messing around. The streaking Giants and back in the playoffs for the first time since 2007... wow that was long ago, I even point and laugh at myself from time to time. The Mounts are in familiar territory, where they pretty much live in the playoffs. BUT the seeds will tell the story in this matchup as Altoona will beat Da Mounts by at least 8 points and will advance to the 2nd round... where I will be that much more thrilled on top of just making these playoffs. It will come down to Monday Night though, expect Da Mounts to have a lead until Arian Foster does his thing to lock it up for Altoona.
------
Since the playoffs are relatively short... I'm going to predict the playoffs and I hope my result is the truth... and once again... I am being a complete homer to my squad.
Round 1:
DIRTY over red moon
Crazy over Bear
LIONS over Machine
Altoona over Da Mounts
Round 2:
Crazy over DIRTY
Altoona over LIONS (OOOH YEAH)
CHAMPIONSHIP:
Altoona over Crazy for the title of FANTASY BOWL X and the $200
-----
Good luck to all... be sure to come back on TUESDAY the 14th for the ROUND 1 RECAP
I have decided to give the two regions in the playoff bracket their very own names. One region will be called the, "We are all noobs that have never won the title minus CrazyFools."

Week 13 RECAP
For 6 teams, that is all she wrote... thanks for playing... good luck next year... BUT KEEP READING THE ALTOONA VIEW... thank you. :)
When it came down to last night's game, playoff spots 1-7 were already automatic... but that 8th spot was up for grabs. One Man, and red moon cards were the only two fighting for that last playoff spot that is pretty much a bye to round 2. We probably won't hear from One Man Wolfpack camp for a while on account of their entire organization being in a deep depression for months to come. Missing the playoffs by ONLY 1.35 points... guess who the lucky S.O.B is... AGAIN!? You guessed it... red moon cards. Why does this crappy team keep scheduling more weeks on their farewell tour? Why won't this end? Stop coming out and playing encores... you will soon be booed off the stage. But ya gotta respect the way the way they got in right? Well One Man wouldn't agree with that.... stat corrections in week 9 is the reason why the cards are magically in that 8th spot. So One Man, you are THAT guy to finish in 9th... this time rmc deserves a threatening wall post/message/punch.
How bout that 30 point comeback by Altoona last night? Not only did they come back, they won by 10... now has the 2nd seed and is looking for the same fortune in the playoffs. DIRTY HARRY is now 10-3 and has that sought after 1 seed. But rmc may not have the guns to let the curse live on. Bear Pascoes is coming into the playoffs on fire... but will this finally be the year where they get a top 3 finish? All playoff teams must be happy that Bear and Crazy face each other round 1... one high scoring team will be eliminated. But that's for the preview.
Only two 4-9 teams to finish the season... Alaska finished in dead last with the rookie Shake N' Bake in 13th. No surprise for Alaska where his average finish is 14th but now his average wins after 2 seasons is 2. So hats off to that fine (dis)organization in Alaska... maybe 13th next season? That may be a stretch.
Lets be honest, these recaps are kind of a buzz kill, wouldn't you say? Next season these recaps will be spiced up... but for now my round 1 playoff preview is going to be off the wall... even better than my regular season previews because now I don't have to mention the bottom feeders anymore. So that is coming Thursday night before the Colts/Titans kickoff. But I will miss making fun of the Ice Bashers from here on out and one of the senior citizens... but one still remains so I'll milk that for all its' worth. And thank the man upstairs that I don't have to type these... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~... for the rest of the season... maybe Viva will change that name for my sake next season.

Week 13 Preview: Put up or STFU
Week 13 is finally upon us... the last week of the regular season... since I like my title so much I will type it again... it is PUT UP or STFU week. I will not explain that abbreviation... I think it's pretty clear. Harsh but true. So who will make the playoffs and who JUST miss!? That's what I'm here for... let's go...
Oh and by the way, the notes already did all the scenarios so yeah I won't bore you by repeating those, I will just throw some teams under the bus and predict winners... you know the drill.
Bear Pascoes v. V~~~ E~~~~: #5/#10 matchup. Even if the Pascoes lose this game, they are most likely in due to their substantial league leading point total... (a total I had the pleasure of hearing at least 4 times on Thanksgiving... it never got old). Who would ever of thought that Viva may be eliminated from playoff contention? It's been a tough year BUT I see this team making the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. Just look at the Pascoes starting lineup and tell me he will win. Viva by 5+... but it would be comical if they win and STILL miss the playoffs... nobody wants to be that #9.
DIRTY HARRY v. Shake N' Bake: Clearly the big ticket game... #1/#13. Shake, enjoy hitting the links next week but DIRTY will join you a week later because a win by DIRTY will send him packing when they face whoever #8 is in the first round. BUT if Shake wins and the LIONS win... the commish will be in that #1 spot... so Shake plays a big role this week... well... not really..... but DIRTY will win and Shake will be in a cat fight with Alaska to see who finishes in dead last.
NITTANY LIONS v. Mean Machine: Father/son battle... #2/#6. Huge, big, ginormous game for Paul Crewe and Co. I hate to say it but the commish will pull through in this one... a lower scoring game than you would expect. But I would take it easy on the old man if I were you, LIONS... you may have to move out asap if you send the Machine packing... just don't flash those two fake rings on your fingers to him... we both know he loves that oh so much. It would be kinda rad (surfer slang) to have all 3 Moore's in the playoffs, so the senior will need some other team losses/point help to make that happen... no pressure.
Wallys Warriors v. red moon cards: I am really rootin' for ya, Wallys. 4 game losing streak, on of the senior citizens, probably will miss the playoffs even with a win, BUT you play the role of major spoiler this week against the luckiest team that doesn't even have a clue. I don't see either team breaking 100... but the Warriors will do just enough to win by a few points and send the cards packing for a one way trip out of this league.
Altoona Giants v. CrazyFools: The commish called this the G.O.T.W... I guess both teams are a pretty big deal. #3/#4 battle purely for playoff positing. I want that home field so I'm not holding the dogs back but I hope that red hair doesn't scare them and make them run away. This will be a solid battle, but let's be serious... of course I'm picking myself... and of course that's being biased... if you had a blog, would you pick against yourself?....think..... didn't think so. Shall be a close win for Altoona and this organization is absolutely thrilled to FINALLY make it back to the playoffs... kinda forget what goes on after this week. But these two teams MAY.. meet again... duh na naaa.
Da Mounts v. Alaska Ice Bashers: The 6-6 Mounties are holding onto the ledge of a bridge at this moment in time. But just ahead in the distance he sees a helicopter covered in ice so he knows it's the Alaska Ice Bashers ready to rescue him and spring them into the playoffs. But will he lend that hand or will they play the role of spoiler and let Da Mounts fall off? Alaska will lend that hand and Da Mounts will be so ever thankful that the random Yahoo! schedule gods matched him up with Alaska in week 13... not only does he have an in with the I.T. guy that controls the clocks on draft pick day, but Brandon Funston as well. Da Mounts by 15+.
GR!!! v. One Man Wolfpack: This game only matters for One Man as he sits nervously in the 8th spot with one game to go. In a perfect world where One Man calls the shots, he will win, remain in 8th and upset the #1 DIRTY in round 1. But this may be another comical result if they win and miss the playoffs... which will happen because I already said Viva will get in... so hope you win with 200, Wolfpack... or you will be in fantasy depression.
--------
That is all he wrote... good luck to the teams on the fence and enjoy playing your last game of the season to those who get eliminated... but be sure to read the View every week no matter how much in the gutter you are. Come back on TUESDAY for the Week 13 RECAP and playoff things
Oh and by the way, the notes already did all the scenarios so yeah I won't bore you by repeating those, I will just throw some teams under the bus and predict winners... you know the drill.
Bear Pascoes v. V~~~ E~~~~: #5/#10 matchup. Even if the Pascoes lose this game, they are most likely in due to their substantial league leading point total... (a total I had the pleasure of hearing at least 4 times on Thanksgiving... it never got old). Who would ever of thought that Viva may be eliminated from playoff contention? It's been a tough year BUT I see this team making the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. Just look at the Pascoes starting lineup and tell me he will win. Viva by 5+... but it would be comical if they win and STILL miss the playoffs... nobody wants to be that #9.
DIRTY HARRY v. Shake N' Bake: Clearly the big ticket game... #1/#13. Shake, enjoy hitting the links next week but DIRTY will join you a week later because a win by DIRTY will send him packing when they face whoever #8 is in the first round. BUT if Shake wins and the LIONS win... the commish will be in that #1 spot... so Shake plays a big role this week... well... not really..... but DIRTY will win and Shake will be in a cat fight with Alaska to see who finishes in dead last.
NITTANY LIONS v. Mean Machine: Father/son battle... #2/#6. Huge, big, ginormous game for Paul Crewe and Co. I hate to say it but the commish will pull through in this one... a lower scoring game than you would expect. But I would take it easy on the old man if I were you, LIONS... you may have to move out asap if you send the Machine packing... just don't flash those two fake rings on your fingers to him... we both know he loves that oh so much. It would be kinda rad (surfer slang) to have all 3 Moore's in the playoffs, so the senior will need some other team losses/point help to make that happen... no pressure.

Week 12 Recap
Long time no see everybody... it's been exactly a week today when I last posted... how was the Thanksgiving? Mine was splendid incase you were wondering...
What happened since last Tuesday that is blog worthy? Well the commish and the future Mrs. set a date for their wedding... where 5 managers from this league will be apart of his wedding party... nice little stat, I know.. What else?... Viva Espana ~~~ bitched and moaned about not getting points that he clearly got... as the Da Mounts would say... Here comes the WAAAHMbulance!!!! Next time recheck your lineup Viva... but I appreciate your "Oh shit I'm stupid" post (after the commish took you to school both in your game and his post) trying to clear things up and wishing us all a Happy Thanksgiving... I appreciate that.
OK lets recap this week 12 already...
Only one week remains and ONLY two teams have clinched a playoff spot... this week the LIONS joined the DIRTY in the clinching party. Maybe we should all take notes people... the only 2 that clinched have ALL CAPS SPELLED TEAM NAMES... pretty intimidating. Too bad neither will win the ship...
The Altoona Giants and the Crazies are both 7-5, not officially clinched in Yahoo! terms, but the only way they both don't make it is if everybody below them scores 500 points a piece... but not the Ice Bashers and Shake N' Bake... they would need another 6 games.
Very interesting tid bit... There's a SHOT that all three members of the Light family will not make the playoffs. Wallys pretty much has no chance and he made that aware with his smack talk this week... enjoy your fishin' or skiing... whatever you decide to do... remember to bring the AARP card though... discounts! And the GR!!! has a 0% shot sitting behind Wallys with the same record but less points. But Da Mounts needs to lose for this event to happen... but they are playing the Bashers so this team will most likely make the postseason again... but I'm getting ahead of myself... that's for the preview.
How bout Viva? Sitting in 10th with a 5-7 record. They need some help... at least one or two 6-6 teams probably have to lose for you to make it... but I don't feel like doing all the math and playoff scenarios... that's what tomorrow's weekly notes are for. There's your first positive shout out, notes.
red moon cards. 6-6. Sitting in 9th. Still hanging around... enough is enough... but I don't see them making the playoffs so this should be the 2nd to last time I ever have to mention them...
Five 6-6 teams with one week left... shit is gonna hit the fan so make sure you come back on Thursday night BEFORE the Thursday kickoff for my WEEK 13 PREVIEW
