Dirty South Wins First Hockey Title

Congrats to Paulie on winning his first hockey title in his first ever season of playing fantasy hockey! I give him a ton of credit - he got way into the sport, was tracking every day, was sending long voice message recaps of his team's performance every day and it totally paid off. He put in the time and effort of a champion and he proved victorious. Paul prevented Jordan from a 3 peat in the Hand Sanitizer league and won the first hockey title as a part of our Triple Crown fantasy leagues.

I can't stand giving Covid an ounce of recognition in this space but as future generations look back at this season, it has to be noted that Jordan's team was hilariously decimated by Covid postponements during the championship week. I know Paul would have loved to play Jordan at his best but we've been saying all along that the season that was played during these unprecedented times IS the season that was played. No excuses, no asterisks. 

Of further note - Paul has now made FIVE STRAIGHT fantasy championship appearances across all the Triple Crown sports: Basketball runner-up in 2020, Baseball champion in 2020, Football runner-up in 2020, Hockey champion in 2021, and Basketball runner-up in 2021. 

We've had some good individual runs in our leagues, but nothing like THIS.

He and I've always said "Just make the playoffs and anything can happen. Sometimes you lose a title you were supposed to win and sometimes you will win a title you didn't deserve."

Kudos to Paul on this epic run of sustained greatness. His Triple Crown HOF tracking bumps up to 25 seasons, 6 championships, and 7 division titles.

Epic X Week 10 Power Rankings

By Kevin Turley 1. Ian (Last week #1) Chooooo chooooo! All aboard. This train keeps on rolling. The highest scoring team in the league this week. Other teams have gone "all in" to win in years past, but this may be the best we have seen in recent years. Ian was at a crossroads. Throwing caution to the wind he was one of the first teams to "buy" to try and make a run. And boy is he running. The questionable starting of Tua over Ben didn't even matter (-21 points). The McCaffery injury didn't matter (will he get healthy in time for the Epic X playoffs?). Ekeler is still on IR and no Chargers running back has grabbed that role. He will be a beast when he returns. Julio Jones and Jamison Crowder were on bye weeks. It didn't matter. Even with the lucky Valdes-Scantling pickup (30 points), take that away, he still wins this week. Ian is deep and talented. This is the clear cut #1 team in the league this year and it's going to be hard to knock him down from...

Season 1 of the Hand Sanitizer Fantasy Hockey League

Even though there has been 3 seasons of the Hand Sanitizer fantasy hockey league so far, 2021 will be it's first as an official Triple Crown League. Hall of Fame WILL count towards winning percentage, division champions and league champions. Incredibly, out of all of our fantasy leagues, this is the first that will consist of 12 teams (three divisions of four teams each). Very impressed with the interest and turnout for a startup hockey league.

Epic X Week 12 Power Rankings

By Kevin Turley Note: These rankings are being released late this week because A: there is a game being played right now. On a Wednesday afternoon. Crazy. B: On Sunday I got sick and tested positive for COVID. It’s been like the flu for me. Life and work have been a lot to navigate - but I am feeling better today. If you need me, I’m quarantined until Dec. 9. You know where I am.   #1 Paul (Last week #1) Paul only scored the 4th highest amount of team points this week. This is the scoring week that his fellow playoff contenders want to see. Good. But not great. Paul is going to have to land on on a lineup. Does Montgomery sit? Is Thomas a must start without a passing QB at the helm in New Orleans?? Make no mistake. Wilson didn’t have to do much versus the Eagles. Rest up buddy. Phipps is going to need you. Too much talent, had an off week and still won, this team is still the best in the league.  #2 Chad (Last week #4) You can’t score 200 points and not move up. 200 point...
