The QFL fantasy football league is a group of ten crazy guys mostly from Staten Island although we have had teams draft from all over the United States from Florida, Detroit and Boston to name a few. It is a 22 man roster league that protects up to 16 players. The league has been in place for over ten years thanks to our great league chairman Eric Qualben.
After the first four weeks of the season we are in for a great year. Two teams have started 4-0 and with the influx of a great rookie class many teams have improved their teams from last year. Of course it wouldnt be the QFL without some sort of controversy, but its all in good fun. We had the "Drew Stanton Trade" the Joe K playing without a kicker and QB and of course the three headed monsters starting Carson Palmer this week with Jamarcus Russell and donovan McNabb on the bench.
Week 5 should start to open things up where we will see who the contenders and pretenders really are this year.

Whats Up with these NFL Game-Pre Game Announcers???
Brian Billick and Emmitt Smith Clueless!!
Is it me or is everyone getting tired of watching football on Sunday and listening to the game day announcers or pre-game hosts get players names wrong or say just dumb things. Brian Billick on Sunday while announcing the JETS-CARDS game asks the question of "why are the JETS not declining this penalty for running into the kicker" on a 4th down. Well Brian if you were paying attention to this tough job of actually watching the game you would have realized that Jay Feeley missed the 25 yard field goal and it would probably make sense to accept the penalty and try to the kick again, which the JETS did and Feely made the field goal. Is it that hard to pay attention to whats going on in the game, no wonder why Billeck is not coaching anywhere in the NFL.
It hurts me to beat up Emmitt Smith as a Dallas Cowboy fan, but it was painful watching ESPN Monday Night pre-game, which Emmitt had a week plus to prepare for and kept calling the coach of the Ravens "Jim" Harbaugh. Well Emmitt the coach of the Ravens is Jim's brother John Harabaugh!
How many times do we watch a Giant game and hear the announcers call the quarterback of the Giants "Peyton Manning", These guys need to start to pay attention to the details of their jobs and get these things right!

Week 4 Fantasy Football ALL STINK TEAM
The ALL Stink team represents NFL Players who "STUNK" in week 4. These are players who fantasy owners look for a lot more from.
We all heard of the All Pro team, well the ALL STINK team is a group of solid players who did nothing to help their fantasy teams win and either make fantasy owners either drink or go gray or both because they STUNK ON SUNDAY!!!
Quarterback: Derek Anderson
Well this was an easy choice, I own Derek Anderson in multiple league and the guy has shown nothing and its only a matter of time before the Brady Quinn era begins in Cleveland. For those of you who own DA, its time to cut him lose and look for other options. You are better off with Ryan Fitzpatrick starting for you at the QB positions.
Running Backs: Felix Jones and Chester Taylor
This was another easy selection for week 4, after reading about how the Cowboys were going to get Felix Jones more touches he not only didn't carry the ball on Sunday but he did not even catch a pass. Felix is a risky start for the rest of the season as long as Marion Barber is healthy.
Chester Taylor is another "stinker" in week 4 with one carry for zero yards and no catches. With Adrian Peterson a little banged up fantasy owners thought "Chester the Molester" would get more carries but once again let owners done. I would not use Chester Taylor unless AP is ruled OUT.
Wide Receiver: Andre Johnson
Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans had 3 catches for 38 yards on Sunday vs Jacksonville. If you would have told me that the Texans would score 27 points and pass for over 300 yards and Andre Johnson would only have 3 catches for 38 yards I would have said you are NUTS!!! However, that is exactly what happened. Fantasy owners need more out of Andre Johnson and I am predicting we wont see AJ on the ALL STINK TEAM anymore this year.

Lane Kiffin Wonders Why Big Al Fired Him!!
Sebastian Janowski attempted a 76 yard field goal (this is not a typo) vs the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Of course this attempt fell about 15 yards short and was returned by Antonio Cromartie, luckily the Raiders were able to tackle him, but he is not a guy you want to kick the ball to. Lane Kiffin wonders why the boss wants him out, if he keeps making bonehead decisions like this he will struggle to even find a job on any NFL coaching staff.
Good Job by Al Davis to get Kiffin out of there, the Raiders have been a mess for years and probably should have traded down in the draft instead of drafting Darren McFadden.
