Congratulations to Drunk, Wielder of the Rusty Dagger, master of all he surveys! In keeping with the name of the league, the battle for the Rusty Dagger was intense for the last few weeks, and came down to margins of error so small, that the slightest slip could cost you your fantasy life.


Unlike last year, when Raider Maniacs unceremoniously stomped the entire league into submission before intermission, and then left the room to attend to more important business, this year's finish was spectacular! It came down to the final week, the way they usually do in this league, and gave us  a nail-biting 3-way tie at the top, where literally every point mattered!  2011 will be remembered for the three teams at the top; Drunk, a first-timer in the league, Raider Maniacs, the defending champion I've been sticking pins into since last year, and Bone Crushers, who had a great year and came so close that I don't want to play him twice next year. Each of those teams finished with impressive 12-5 records.  When you consider that Raider Maniacs was rolling with Carson Palmer as his QB, you'll see why that record is even  more impressive.

This year's League MVP was awarded to 2 teams: Bone Crushers, for most improved team in the league, and Raider Maniacs for managing to amass the best record in the league 2 years running.

It was fun as usual....okay, not as much fun as winning, but you get the picture.

HA!

See you in 2012!
