editor’s note
the first such occurrence I have witnessed over many fantasy seasons. We actually felt compelled to find something—anything—for sake of change. And it’s not that there weren’t any good ideas! There just seemed to be a consensus that nothing stuck out as a need, and to maintain balance we’d have to offset whatever changes were made elsewhere. The table in FIG. 1 tells the story of a scoring model that everyone agrees strikes the right balance. QB’s get a little more than double the value of an RB position that averages 7 points. All other positions average between 5 and 6 points with the exception of DBs. They contribute slightly more in part due to a banner year at the position, but also draw from the most depth.
For years now, I have been vocal that our crowning achievement, the Voodoo Bowl game, was broken and in need of repair. The overwhelming statistical evidence was written off as an anomaly. Fortunately, the last Voodoo Bowl result seems to have captured everyone’s attention. It’s like T.O.’s boys say, “If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.”
The most exciting offseason development involves changes made to our final playoff game on Super Bowl weekend. The Voodoo Bowl has been rewired to guarantee more drama in the pursuit of our holy grail.
And finally, thanks to our sponsors. Quail & Firkin; other than a brief and unwise affair, they have been home to league meetings and outings since the beginning. Voodoosports.ca for providing official VF2 schwag. Point of Presence Technologies for hosting the Voodoo Bowl party. And Communicreations for willingly donating time and resources that make our league the gold standard of FF.
See you at the draft, and prepare to watch your VB aspirations crushed!
The Pirate Commissioner
As we embark on our 5th season of Voodoo Fantasy Football, stiff competition lies ahead for any would-be pretender to the throne. Parity is good for business, and other than a few cupcakes we should be in for a race!
Before we dive in, I’d like to acknowledge our winners from last year. Horned Norsemen may have finished the season with the lowest point tally, but they were the final team standing when the smoke had cleared. There is no asterisk on the trophy. Congratulations on being crowned the Voodoo Bowl Champion! The other Division Champion, McLovin McNabb, beat out strong competition to get there but had nothing left in the tank for the big game. Hackensack Hebros deserve full marks for winning Total Points and Pick’Em, in addition to fielding what looked to be a very solid playoff team. And finally, there’s everyone’s favourite, the trophy (whose name we will not mention) given to the team that lays the biggest egg. Surprisingly, it is the first such honour for Roid Rage. Keep up the good work!
I’d also like to thank last year’s SC members, Nic Sulsky and Jay Dick, for their contributions. There’s a lot of volunteer time that goes into every season, and the VF2 entertainment value is as high as it is because of
those kinds of efforts. Along those same lines, the Pirate returns as Commissioner for another two year term, joined by a new SC comprised of Mark McCain and Chris Gray. Buy them a beer to thank them for their time and effort!
The VF2 Rules Charter is one of the most valuable assets our league has to offer. It has effectively served to outline the processes and values of our league from the beginning. This year, we’ve added a Charter Revisions table to help everyone quickly get up to speed with changes.
Several other new initiaves are lined up this year, but almost as noteworthy is that which didn’t change; scoring. No small statement when you consider it is

a league apartThere are 10 very good reasons why we believe the VF2 represents the gold standard of Fantasy Football.
1. Organized. The most organized fantasy football experience available. Period.
2. Polished. A professionally branded fantasy football experience that includes an annual publication (Survival Guide), a dedicated web site (www.VF2.ca) and a robust league communication tool (Tribal Forum).
3. Value. Franchises are a virtual financial asset with a monetary value that has risen year-over-year. Virtually eliminates “disappearing owners.”
4. Networking. A community-driven concept that is geared towards social and competitive spin-offs, in addition to a proven record of fostering lucrative business relationships amongst participants.
5. Democratic. Rules and governance that encourage participation.
6. Balance. A model that has been tested and enhanced over some twenty years; a scoring system that carefully balances the net worth of all positions.
7. Progressive. Rules that stay on top of the latest fantasy football trends. Franchise Players/Keepers ensure year-round enjoyment. IDP’s that add roster depth and elevate the excitement of games. Waiver Wire transactions that keeps participation levels up. A playoff format that coincides with the NFL postseason.
8. Structure. Built-in parity makes for a level-playing field while at the same time rewarding knowledge.
9. Fun. All of us enjoy a good laugh—especially if it comes at the expense of an opponent. That said, we’re all competitive by nature and would stop at nothing to win. Because it’s fun!
10. Rewarding. A truly kick-ass trophy worthy of blood, sweat and tears, as well as multiple cash prizes.

the thing about the thing— STEVE DAnKOFF
8 minutes into Week One, a collective gasp is heard clear
across the fantasy landscape when Bernard Pollard
rolls up the knee of “The One.” Tom Brady is done for
the season. it’s not the first injury ever suffered by a
top pick, but when have we ever seen one so damaging?
Voodoo FantaSy Football | 7
The Brady injury had the Boozers chasing their tails all season long, and look what‘s been left behind. A shell of a franchise which would be relegated to the B league if this were English soccer.
And what of the Pirate? After three straight seasons at the top of VF2 standings, Patch takes such a majestic dive it could only bested by former world champion 3-metre springboard specialist Fu Mingxa. Mingxa went on to win a gold medal at the Olympics. The Pirate went on to masturbate in a dark basement closet, using scoreboard printouts of the five games he won for inspiration.
The 2008 season marked the second time around for the Pigs and the Hebros. Both of them first-year losers after picking up their keepers from the scrap heap and selecting at the bottom of the first, they turned it around in a big way through the ’08 season. But this year finds both of them back where they started. The Pigs and the Bras trimmed their keeper rosters for a shot at playoff glory and came up short. The cupboard’s not entirely bare but both draft near the bottom again so the true adeptitude of these franchises will be tested in ’09. That’s right… adeptitude. Live with it.
From adeptitude to ineptitude, The Rage continued their losing ways in ‘08, sinking to an all-time low, slipping to five wins, and out of the playoffs, after two straight six-win seasons. How do you craft such a villainous persona without ever being a threat to those around you (this is afterall the franchise that dealt Joe Flacco for backup Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen)? It’s a feat only Murray could pull off.
It was another back-to-Skol season for the west coast Murrays, by the way. Not quite as vocal, but just as incapable, the husband and wife team of Grobari and Grobari found their way to another losing season. That’s 0-for-4 kids.
Speaking of losing seasons, has anyone noticed that for all the Bravado, The Danks have yet to tip the scales on the W side? After going 7-and-10, they’re 0-for-4 as well.
Of course we can’t look back on the season and not wonder how two rookies managed to leave such a mark on the league so early on. McLovin may not have shown himself on the social scene until the season was almost up, but there was no doubting his FF acumen. Making a run at both total points and the Voodoo Bowl is no easy task. Thankfully, he came up short on both fronts. As for the Norsemen, there’s something to be said for success in spite of your best efforts. The lowest scoring franchise in the league falls ass-backwards into a title, riding shotgun with the Cardinals through the playoffs. Congratulations Norsemen. You forced the VF2 to
completely re-jig its Super Bowl format so that this kind of travesty never happens again.
I suppose it should be noted that the Shithawks and the Balls both put together solid seasons. But both were flawed. The Clown faced the fewest points against and the Hawks won 12 games despite facing more pts against then he scored. The Shithawks were blown out in some and enjoyed a number of marginal victories. Heck, the Shits n’ Balls were both outpointed by the 7-and-10 bearing Smashers and Slashers.
Now for a look at a few of the trades which helped define the ’08 season. Bear in mind, there are hundreds of transactions recorded on the year and each of them is a game changer. The waiver and add/drop grabs, far too numerous to mention, aren’t considered here unless they factor into trades.
The first out of the gates. The Piks grab Matt Cassel, dropping Brady. The significance of that is lost on the Drunks when they drop Cassel for Brad Johnson. Hoping no one would take him on the add/drop, the plan fails when the Pigs swoop in a pick ahead, dropping D. Anderson, who they had just acquired along with points giant Jon Beason, for Trent Edwards. The deal was made knowing Cassel would be available and a season of success was in full swing for the Pigs.
The Hebros drop Chester Taylor to pick up Ronnie Brown. Brown is then flipped to the Rage for Matt Forte. The Bras pick up Matt Forte for Chester Taylor??!! Forte would eventually be sent to the Norsemen for B. Jacobs, giving the future VB winners a strong keeper RB for years to come.
The Pirate sends Troy Polamalu … wah wah wah??!! The Pirate deals the king of Samoans? Telling, in terms of the entire season that was for the Pirate. The trade to the Harvest began the Devil’s run on Steelers that would shape their success for the year.
The Norsemen deal P. Manning to the Hebros in a head scratcher, granted amid some struggles for the Colts. The Bras think they’ve bought their first title. Can anybody smell the stink of irony hanging over this one?
All this of course is just a snapshot of the season, but it hardly tells the whole story. To know the season, you had to live it and I think it’s fair to say the ’08 year was experienced to its fullest. Thanks to all for making it interesting and here’s to looking ahead towards ’09.
And Murray, on behalf of everyone — don’t change a thing!

If anyone still believes that the EDS commercial about herding cats was real, or that I was stupid enough to trade away Matt Forté for the equivalent of a cup of clean urine, we should engage in trade talk. Unluckily for me, the only guy too drunk to understand how to say “no’ to either fat chicks or the commish when he suggested me for this role, sees you guys as a group of misfits that needs to be herded like cats.
Luckily, we’ve got just the right meow mix to bring that dream to reality and bring you all “into town without losing one.” It’s called the Tribal Forum. Seriously, how could you not be aware of the only source of information that’ll save you from looking like a complete ass when you forget when the AGM is where to meet up with the greatest pool of collective NFL knowledge in all of Rosedale. Or midtown Toronto, perhaps with the exception a ladies bridge club that has been making some serious fantasy in-roads to challenge our supremacy. They also tend to drink more than you bunch of lightweights—have another saucer of milk you vile pussies!

Survival tips•Draft day is a blast, but you will
get handed your lunch if you are not prepared. FF magazines and countless online sources contain cheat sheets with a list of players and when they should get snapped up. Preseason action can give you a good feel for what lies ahead, and whose value rises or falls.
•Have a look at how last season’s draft unfolded (see Appendix A: 2008 Draft). 6 RB’s, 3 QB’s and 5 WR’s were picked in the first round.
•Think points, but also think playoffs. Players on teams that are playoff bound sometimes have a higher value than guys who will score you more points on a bottom-feeder team.
•Partnering up with a second set of eyes is a distinct advantage, and can greatly improve the overall VF2 experience.
•Pay attention to players on your roster with conflicting BYE weeks in the NFL schedule.
•The Tribal Forum epitomizes the VF2 community. It is an effective way to get the full benefit of involvement. Taunt your way to stardom! Participants are expected to stay current with the Announcements section, and chime in with regularity.
•Put some thought and imagination into the branding of your franchise. Two words work best for a name. A cool logo will get you off to a good start.
Voodoo Fantasy Football is not for everyone.
The VF2 is a community comprised of like-minded owners out to enjoy themselves in friendly competition laced with good-natured mocking, insults and one-upmanship. Wallflowers need not apply. Active participation and a sense of humor are key considerations in the selection process.
Warning
•The league-sanctioned outings are a terrific opportunity to drink beer, get to know opponents, talk trash and talk trade. Optional, but the events go a long way towards maintaining your standing as an active participant.
•FP’s (Keepers) cannot be players selected in the first three rounds of the entry draft. They can include players selected from the Waiver Wire that appeared on your teams WK#17 roster.
•Don’t always believe what you hear. There are several members of the group who are masters of disinformation. The guy submitting these tips is one of them.
•Reputation is an important thing to consider. In FF, reputation can cause damage that takes years to fix. If you’re hard to get ahold of, don’t return calls or respond to e-mail, you’ll earn a reputation for being difficult to deal with. If you make stupid trade offers, your voice of reason will be harder to hear on future deals.
•Active participation is a requirement. Attend socials. Be vocal on the TF. Initiate trade talk. If you want to continue to be a part of the league, you need to be seen and heard.
