Ok Fight Fans, the white stuff is falling in many of the basketball cities: New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Denver, Toronto, Milwaukee, Denver, Cleveland, Minnesota… which I know isn’t a city, but never having been to that fine Fargo state, if the team refers itself to that moniker, it’s good enough for me. But good enough isn’t what you players in the Razzball Random Commenter Leagues should strive for?!! Greatness! Immortality! These are your goals. And some of you need to shake off the holiday distractions and focus on the prize:

**The master standings are now up!  Check out how you’re stacking up against all RCL teams here, or hover over “Leagues” to check in with the standings updated weekly**

So, I can safely say that we all are feeling a little over indulged this week.

At times like theses, I simultaneously applaud the invention of jogging/sweat wear, and it’s practical comfort, while also making note of the most ironic departure from a genre of garment’s original intended use. Who ever sweats while joggging in this stuff anymore? Maybe everyone, but seeing as I’m not out jogging, in these garments, or anything else, I guess I can’t really be so smug about it. And this applies to some of our early leaders in the Razzball RCLs, you shouldn’t be so damn smug either, after last week 5. Are you true contenders, or sweat wear? Let’s take a look:

Week 4, we hardly knew ye! The season is in full swing, and doubtless there are some owners who are wringing their hands, fretting over the loss of either Rose or M Gasol, or to a lesser extent, Eric B. Cause he ain’t no joke! Please tell me there are some original hip hop fans out there who are old enough to get that reference. But I digress: We all know that injuries are a part of the games, we know that, but if you’re like me, I hate the smug S.O.B. in the league who spouts that line when it isn’t his cornerstone player going down for half or all the season. And speaking of smug S.O.B.’s lets check in with our fearless fantasy warriors this week:

Three weeks in, and we are beginning to see who are the contenders, and who are the pretenders. Who are the members, and who are the weekenders. Who are the dependers, and who are the trenders! Wait what? I mean that we can see some squads are proving to be reliable producers, and others who need a lot to go right to be in the mix. It is still early in the season, so nobody can be counted out, but if you’re at the bottom of the barrel, you may want to consider those high risk/high reward sorta trades. Just sayin. Let’s take a look:

It’s Week 2, and things are just warming up. The leagues are starting to show some separation. Some with pure dominance, others with smoke and mirrors. Let us begin:

JB’s Random Commenter League.  The league leader, Baby got Back, was overtaken by Handsome Lads, who also won his week, going 8-1, and sits in first with 15-3. Baby got Back also sits at 15-3, so I’m sensing a rivalry taking shape… JB Gilpin, clearly dissatisfied with his team, made 2 trades that involved numerous players on his roster. All for naught, though, as he still lost his week, posting a 3-6 week, and currently sits 10th of 12. Our fearless editor will, no doubt, totally redeem himself in the coming weeks. We hope.

This is not for the fantasy faint of heart. This is the Razzball Commenter League Weekly Recap. In Fantasy Terms, This. Is. Sparta!!! This is a to-the-death battle of fantasy prowess on display. This is the article when we document the evolution of greatness. The separation of the men from the boys, right from the beginning. So, without further ado:
