CB Posse Fantasy Football League: Somehow...Someway

Somehow...Someway

I don't care how it happens, but someone has got to beat Sahil next season! This is a total embarrassment to us all.

Since the rebirth of CB Posse FF, Sahil has won both titles in convincing fashion. He won by 79 points in 2009, which doesn't sound like a lot, but the race was over before week16 started. This past season, 2010, after we expanded to ten teams, he almost doubled that margin of victory to 159. Amazing! With more owners, it should have been harder to win and yet he won by more!

Now I know Murat will say this was all due to his snagging Vick during week one, but look at the stats. Vick was only on Sahil's roster and completely healthy for ten games. That means he needed his back up QB for at least seven weeks (I remember the cocky S.O.B. even benched a healthy Vick one week). If he never had Vick at all, and only started his backups (#1 Roethlisberger and #2 Orton), he still would have earned more points at the position than every QB in the league except Brady.

The sad reality is that Sahil drafted so well, he didn't need Vick (or even to start a kicker one week). The starting roster he drafted outscored everyone else's starting squad by over a hundred points! And he didn't even draft a kicker!

Here is the math for total points on drafted starting rosters:

Sahil 2044 (without kicker)
Murat 1928
Jeff George 1838
JP and CB 1815
Kellie 1810
Steve 1741
Jersey 1737
Ratchet 1721
Hank 1450

This illustrates how important the draft is in FF. These drafted rosters are virtually the same as the league's final rankings. The only real changes were Jeff George under-achieving, Jersey over-achieving, and CB's spastic ass dropping Jason Witten (a top 10 receiver) and letting me jump into a tie for 3rd. Thanks CB, and nice work with V Jax this season. He really kicked ass that one week. Here's to never giving up on your dreams!

But now my dream has become watching some NFL football this season and seeing someone, anyone beat Sahil this year!

History of the League

In the fall of 1991, six young boys entered the hallowed halls of the Banfield Academic Center to embark upon a journey that would make them into men. They were lead by the eponymous Carl Brown and his obsession with Dennis Hopper. His group, which gathered each day in their private, brick-walled alcove, consisted of Steven Caggiano, James Pickard, Sahil Tak, Hank Zakroff, and Murat Zincir. Though other people drifted in and out, this was the core of the entity that would come to be known as the CB Posse.

CB Posse FF officially began in 1993. The early years of the league would be dominanted by Murat and Pickard, who took the trophy three time each. It wasn't until the seventh year of CB Posse FF that this dynamic duo of NFL knowledge failed to capture first place. Sadly, in 1999, as the Posse members finished college, only four owners played, and, due to lack of interest, the league would begin a decade long hibernation.

In 2009, Pickard asked Hank whether he would be interested in getting the league back together. After an emphatic "YES!" from his friend, Pickard made some phone calls and the league was reborn like a glorious phoenix from the ashes. The 21st Century has revolutionized FF into a more competitive monster. CB Posse FF went completely digital, and unless you can navigate the nearly endless amounts of NFL information available on the internet, you don't have a chance. Sahil would emerge as the dominant force, and he destroyed the league for back-to-back championships.

21st Century CB Posse FF has seen significant expansion. Murat and Pickard have lured several local friends into the ranks. Murat's New York crew has been dominant, consistently finishing near the top, and even claiming several championships. CB Posse FF has also become multi-generational, as young Jack Caggiano has boldly followed his parents' footsteps. Even the trophy underwent massive expansion, and is renamed The Caggiano.
