Every week, I am forced to talk about Grey vs. Rudy as they battle for numero uno of numero uno. I watch them like a cyclops with a monocle. Honestly though, I don’t mind, it’s better than watching half the shows on the old tube… it’s really a bad picture without HD. My only problem is, I can’t help but wonder what else I would like to see them compete at. What about an American Ninja Warrior style course or a Double Dare battle with Marc Summers hosting? I think I need to talk to Nick about doing something fun next year for pre-season baseball. But what else can we do? A high stakes poker game like Rounders? A game of drunken Trivial Pursuit? Name that Tune? Talent style Gong Show? Brady Bunch House of Cards? A bring it on dance off? The possibilities are endless. You know what Ralph and Nick the Dick would like to see? No not that sicko…but a hip-hop battle like Ralph and I do on hip-hop Sundays. Rudy vs. Grey trying to best each other with old school cuts, because they are old school? And by old school I mean old. Here, I’ll get you started with some Steady B and KMD!
Before we move on to the rest of this post I want to remind you that you are playing for the really cool trophy below. If you are out of the running you can always order your own at Far Out Awards. I got my Not The Best Writer Anywhere trophy on order. Now if you can’t do either for whatever reason then maybe you have the best team name in the RCL and then you can nominate yourself here.
The RCL Top 10
Why the top-10? Because they’re the top-10 teams out of 1,000+? And that’s pretty amazing? I’m Brian Fantana giving you the news! Simply put, they’re the best of the best of the best, and I think they deserve a little bit recognition. BUT NOT TOO MUCH. Just a taste.

The 2014 Razzball Commenter League Master Standings (Click on it. Seriously. Do it.)
Before moving on to the RCL #1 I want to take care of some business. First, I would like to thank everyone from baseball that signed up for an RCL Football League and to the very few that joined a RazzDP IDP league. Thanks guys for helping us grow the football side. I know some of you aren’t big football players, but joined us to support the site and I give you all over the net hugs. If you didn’t play, I give you all over the net kicks to the shins for being selfish.
If you want to get in on some of the tight races that are going to the wire, I think you need to look at the Rambunctious Llama League. With the top six teams separated by six points as of writing this post I have to tip my cap to you guys. That’s really a remarkable finish. If any of you guys are reading this, come in the comments and share about the dogfight. The other two dogfights from Vin’s handy work are In Trout We Trust, which has the top six separated by 5 1/2 points, and Jack’s Late to the Party RCL which has the top four separated by 6 points. In fact, last weeks first place team in Jack’s is now the fourth place team. Good showing all.
The RCL #1
The RCL #1, which sounds like a RCL made for 2001: Space Odyssey (Grey notified me that RCL #1 isn’t related to a space shuttle, but is meant to be said like The Iron Sheik. RCL #1! RCL #1! RCL #1!), is the Friends & Family league that Grey created so we could all be his fantasy baseball punching bags. Actually, maybe not so much punching bags as mustache combs. Seems more Grey-ish to Jay. I wasn’t invited so I’m not sure if I would be Grey’s punching bag. What I do know is I can say whatever I want because I’m not in there. With that being said I say “Why you dodging me Bro?”
Regardless, this league stars Jay, Rudy, Tehol the Elder God, Prospector Scott, Paul, the Sing(ing)man, Nick the Podcast Host, and Sky… err, the Blue? We need to find you a better title buddy. But that’s us, that’s the family, except me. Which, I can assure you, I’m already filing paperwork to gain emancipation. The friends are Dalton Del Don from Yahoo, Brad Johnson from FanGraphs, Ryan Carey of Mastersball, and Tim McLeod of RotoRob.
As I mentioned above, the Grey vs. Rudy battle continues on. Is there anyone who can make a Grey vs. Rudy graphic novel? I think we have a market here for an underground sensation. One has a beautiful head of hair….The other waxes his dome….now watch them fight to the finish on everything! This one is going to leave us with a list of smack between them that we’ll probably rarely see. BTW, What does the winner get?
Honestly besides these two duking it out, there isn’t much left to say about this league. You two have thoroughly kicked the crap out of the competition. I will be expecting my invite for next season so I can know what it’s like to get my ass handed to me by living legends.
