Week 16 is here and Derek and I are, well, dis­tracted. I am in “Lit­tle Miss Sun­shine” mode, as I’ve watched the movie about six times in the last two days. It’s really one of the best films of the year.

Derek, mean­while is all worked up over some old dude show­ing off his chest.

Well, to each their own. Any­way, we do man­age to talk about the week 16 NFL sched­ule and how we’re like Bill Clin­ton, Newt Gin­grich and Yasser Arafat. Ahem. Any­way, enjoy. And don’t worry Dave from our MVP fan­tasy foot­ball league, Derek really doesn’t dis­like you at all.

If you are wrestling with any week 15 lineup deci­sions and would like to know what Derek and/or I think about it, either leave a com­ment on this post or email us at andyg@mvpff.com or derekj@mvpff.com. We’ll either answer your question(s) on the show, here, or through email.

Fan­tasy own­ers work hard to pre­pare their team for vic­tory in the play­offs dur­ing the off-season and dur­ing the reg­u­lar sea­son. After Sun­day, what do you have to show for that hard work? Unless you’re an owner of you know who, probably a big fat post­sea­son loss. In fact, Rex Gross­man sym­bol­ized fan­tasy foot­ball play­off suc­cess in Week 15. That’s right, Rex Gross­man. The same Rex Gross­man that posted a 1.3 quar­ter­back rat­ing a few weeks ago against the Min­nesota Vikings. Instead of the usu­al sus­pects rul­ing the roost on Sun­day, we were given a day where the key play­ers were named Rat­tay, Pen­ning­ton, Coles, Clark and that Tom­lin­son fel­low. What an under­achiever. It’s all a part of the Sun­day Wrap.

Play­off time! This is what we live for. Umm..okay, maybe not “live for.” But we take it very seri­ously! Yeah! Any­way, Derek and I look at the week 15 games, talk cur­rent events, and try to fig­ure out where Col­orado is. Accord­ing to this map, it’s right next to Kansas. And appar­ently it’s on fire. Isn’t Col­orado sup­posed to be snowy and icy? My whole world view has been shaken.

Any­way, in try­ing to find a good pic­ture for this post, I first typed in “Migrant Worker” which some­how returned this pic­ture with the cap­tion “Eva Lon­go­ria: Migrant Worker?” I tell you, the inter­net is a scary, hys­ter­i­cal place.

If she’s a migrant worker, I think we should bus in lots of more migrant workers.

If you are wrestling with any week 14 lineup deci­sions and would like to know what Derek and/or I think about it, either leave a com­ment on this post or email us at andyg@mvpff.com or derekj@mvpff.com. We’ll either answer your question(s) on the show, here, or through email.

LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son con­tin­ues to turn water into wine on a weekly basis for the San Diego Charg­ers. While there were other play­ers that deserved high praise for their Sun­day out­ings (we are look­ing at you, Drew Brees), Tom­lin­son set the bar yes­ter­day at an unfore­seen level. We’ll recap the wild and wooly action of Week 14 while prais­ing the super­nova that is LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son. In Jack­sonville, Fred Tay­lor, Mau­rice Jones-Drew, Mar­ion Mot­ley, Jim Brown, Steve Van Buren, Heath Sher­man, James Brooks, Mar­shall Faulk, Albert Bent­ley and Tim Biak­abu­tuka all man­aged to rush for over 100 yards against the hor­rific Colts run defense; Drew Brees destroyed Roy Williams and the Cow­boys sec­ondary in Dal­las; and Tom Brady ran into a brick wall in Miami…again. It is all a part of the Sun­day Wrap.

  • There is a new record holder in the NFL. LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son scored three times to run his sea­son total to 29. Thus, break­ing Shaun Alexander’s mark of 28 total touch­downs from a sea­son ago. Let’s hope he does not end up on the cover of Mad­den 2008.

1. Ter­rell Owens vs. New Orleans– I take it that he’ll pay atten­tion long enough to catch a cou­ple of touch­down passes from Tony Romo.

2. Roy Williams vs. Min­nesota– Since Minnesota’s run defense stops nearly every­one, expect a lot of pass­ing in the game plan of Gen­eral Mike Martz.

3. Steve Smith vs. NY Giants– Smith ran cir­cles around the Giants in the play­offs. How­ever, when Chris Weinke is your quar­ter­back, those things just don’t matter.

1) Drew Brees vs. Cow­boys — Assum­ing the Saints can throw out a cou­ple healthy wide outs, Brees should beat Roy Williams a few times.

2) Mike Vick vs. Bucs — Had over 100 yards rush­ing in their last meet­ing. It’s a bad week for quar­ter­backs, and Vick seems to be in a posi­tion to excel.

3) Pey­ton Man­ning vs. JaguarsHey, check this out…it will ruin your life!

1) LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son vs. Bron­cos — Yep

2) Shaun Alexan­der vs. Car­di­nals — Has 10 TDs in his last four games against the Cardinals.

3) Larry John­son vs. Ravens — Tough matchup, but you still have to start â€˜em.
