Matt Redd and Power Poll Week 2

Interview number two with this weeks guest, Matt Redd. If you would like to do an interview let me know and I can get some questions to you...



1. You were picked last in the preseason polls. How did that make you feel?



I don’t necessarily feel like that was right for you to think. I actually have a plan, and my players aren’t even bad. 3 of my WR’s are solid (Chad Ochocinco, Hines Ward, and Desean Jackson), I really like Ronnie Brown, and Mark Sanchez is proving he can win games and put up points (by throwing to my TE Dustin Keller). I don’t think that I am going to win this year, but I think I can be in the playoff hunt and certainly have a team for the future.

2. You have the same amount of Bengals (1) as you do Steelers on your team. Are you gay?



I am not gay, and it certainly isn’t my fault that I couldn’t get all the Bengals. Also, Hines Ward is solid, and with the weak schedule that the Steelers play, he is certainly worth having on my team (He averages over 1 touchdown a game vs. the Bengals and Browns)

3. What do you think of the league this year? Who are your favorites to win and who are the teams you think suck?




I really like the direction the league went in. I like the fact there are 4 divisions of 3 teams (12 teams is perfect for our setup). As far as my favorites go, it is hard to go against RoBry in the Mewtwo division and Bowl in the Smilax division. The other divisions are harder to predict, but I would go with Flex in the Jigglypuff division (seeing as how he has a 2 game lead over Connor), and honestly, I would have to go with the winner of Me and You in week 3 to win the Magneton division. Winning it all, I would have to go with Bowl this year. His team has it all!

4. Your team is ridiculously untalented outside of OchoCinco. How do you plan on compensating for that?





As I already answered a tad in question 1, I don’t think that my team is as untalented as everyone thinks they are. I have shown that the people I picked can score points and win games at the same time. My players have overall weak schedules, and that is why I picked them. And as Buddies knows, Peppers is good enough to win games by himself.

5. How much do you hate Buddies Blankets.



I don’t hate Buddies Blankets as much as I lead on. I just believe that you shouldn’t talk so much shit that you can’t back up. He already said he was going to win our division, but yet he is 0-2 and lost to both of us. Not going to happen this year Buddies, or any year for that matter the way you are going.

6. Laynce Nix and Adam Dunn walk into a bar and start drinking shots of Old Crow. Who passes out first?





I really think that it’s hard to bet against Adam Dunn. That man is all that is man, and there is no way he is going to lose any contest that involves drinking.

7. I see you have DT Jason Jones on your bench. Please describe the advantages of having a DT on your bench and explain how you had enough brain power to make it out of the third grade.




First of all, I barely made it out of the 3rd grade, and I don’t feel like I am alone by saying that. Second, the only reason I have Jason Jones and Seymour on my team was because Seymour didn’t report yet. I don’t have Jones on my team anymore because he did show up. You just looked at my team at the wrong time.

8. Mark Sanchez had a very nice start to his career. What do you see out of him this season?


Mark Sanchez has shone that he can get it done in the NFL. It certainly helps that his D gets it done on a regular basis too. He gets good field position and knows how to get to the end zone. I wanted to take him to have a QB for the future, and I got the job done there. He is going to have a great year, and should be a lock for Rookie of the Year.

9. It has been said (by your girlfriend) that you have Tig Ole Bittys. Explain.

It’s all about drinking all the time. That is mostly what it’s all about. Liquid Dope and constant Coors will do that to a man.

10. Multiple choice question. We are at a party. RoBry falls asleep at?

A. 5:30am
B. 3:00am
C. 11:00pm
D. Before anyone has even started drinking
I would have to certainly go with D on this one, and there isn’t anyone out there that would disagree. The Silverdome still doesn’t know what hit it, and it was one of the best nights that Rob ever slept through. My only problem with that was that I couldn’t find that damn White Castle.

11. Where do you finish in the league this year?

Honestly, I can see myself winning the division. I would give myself a 45% chance of winning it, giving you a 50% chance, and giving Buddies a 5% chance. If I don’t win the division, I see myself losing a tiebreaker to be just short of the playoffs just like last year. I won’t win it all, but I think my team is going in the right direction.


POWERPOLL WEEK 3

1. Sunbury Bowls Bashers (2)

After the week two battery of games Sunbury makes the jump from 2nd to 1st in the league. He’s had the two most consistent wins of any of the 2-0 teams and while the Bashers really haven’t played anyone they have put up points in bunches.

2. Montpelier Pink Baboonsies (1)

This team gets knocked down a spot in the power poll this week because of the unimpressive nature of their victories. Yes, they are 2-0 but they have put up only 300 points in those two wins. That’s good for 9th in the league and behind Buddies, gross. Oh, and Tony Romo just threw another interception.

3. Insano Flex (3)

Flex is starting to look like the real deal. They have scored the most points in the league and start four elite players. Trent Edwards has been money thus far. There are still questions with this team however and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them lay a dud every few weeks.

4. Touchdown My Pants (5)

This team has had a easy start to the season facing the Dogcats and the Buddies in back to back weeks. Luckily it stays relatively easy in week three with Who Dey? The addition of Carson Palmer could be a master stroke if he plays like he did last week for the whole year… except for the pick 6. They should be the favorites in the Magneton division.

5. The Drew Brees Show (4)

It’s starting to be seen that if a team has Drew Brees you can’t rank them very low. He puts up tons of points. While she lost to the then number one team in the league (and her brother) she still scored points kept it close until the end.

6. New York Conspiracy (10)

She had a hard luck loss in week one but pulled out a nice win in week two over the talented but seemingly lost OX Raw Dopemen. Personally, I think it’s bullshit that she got help from the commissioners last week just because she doesn’t have a computer. I know RoBry or Bowl wouldn’t give me a replacement for my starting QB if he was available and I was playing them. Whatever, she would have won anyway.

7. Da OX Raw Dopemen (6)

A loss to NYC isn’t too bad, she’s 4th in points scored! Right? Right?!?!?!

8. The Fighting Otters (9)

If you had drafted Dallas Clark over Byron Leftwich you would have won this week. Still I’m not real down on you because you scored some points. You could upset a team or two.

9. Who Dey? All Dey! (8)

WDAD ran into a buzz saw last week in Sunbury Bowl’s Bashers. They got trounced. The subject of this weeks Q&A thinks his team is pretty solid, but a bad loss is a bad loss. Gotta drop you a spot.

10. Boston Beagles (11)

Yeah, you won over a bad Dogcats team, but you still don’t score many points and that’s not a recipe for winning fantasy football.

11. Tiger Dogcats (10)

Yuck. 212 points in two weeks. Sickening. At least you’re not last.

12. Buddies Blankets (12)

Like the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Like the tides come up to the beach and recede back down to the depths. Like RoBry and Connor Miller scramble from their mothers basements to pick up players at 3am on a Tuesday morning; Buddies remains in last. I almost feel sorry for him… almost.
