Tehol has Game of Thrones, Grey has reality shows, Jay has Star Trek, Sky has Netflix, and Mike has… I have no idea if Mike even owns a T.V.. I have The Walking Dead (best scene ever!). I was one of those viewers that didn’t jump in until Season 4 after power-watching the first three seasons on Netflix. The geniuses who created TWD have now given us a new perspective on the zombie apocalypse in Fear The Walking Dead. The show takes us through the zombie apocalypse in a large urban area, Los Angeles, from day one. Each episode building on the other as people discover and deal with their quickly changing world. Fighting to grasp this new reality while wanting normalcy to return. You might be wondering what this has to do with the RCL Update? It has plenty… looking back on the season ,we leave draft day with all the hope and confidence in our fortune telling skills. When injury or poor play strikes, we think it will be fixed quickly and everything will be okay. Then tragedy keeps hitting us in the face and things unravel pretty quickly as our DL gets filled up and by the end we can barely recognize our teams. Right now, your team better be more Walking Dead and less Fear the Walking Dead, with a hodgepodge of “where did that guy come from” and “I thought this streamer retired” (I’m talking about Eduardo Escobar and Jake Peavy). Anythehoo, I love the shows and can turn them into an analogy for any struggle in life and if you ain’t ever struggled through a fantasy season then get a tougher league.

The RCL Top 10: Week 24
This is the best around!… For the season… so far. Do you want to be Daniel Larusso? Then you got to beat all the Cobra Kai’s and win the All Valleys RCL Championship. Word around the office is that the grand prize is Sky jumping out of a cake in your living room and doing a strip tease to the the tune of Moment of Truth by Survivor.

Razzball Commenter Leagues 2015 MASTER STANDINGS
This week I jump back into a top ten. Why J-FOH? We like seeing our name in hyper-link. I know little guy, I hear you. I just feel like we lost some of the exclusivity of the ten and at the end of the season I plan on putting a whole gaggle of you in the post…..I also had a little stay over in the hospital the other day and am wiped out. That’s also why this is delayed a day and a little on the light side. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, my poorly worded drivel shall march on.
The ECFBL is shooting up the charts in here. Without looking, I have a feeling they are getting caught up on their game starts. I hope Matt and Al come by and talk up the stretch run in there.
Weekly League Leaders
Less of me and and more of you is always a good thing. Each and every week we celebrate the individual in this post but neglect the leagues…..for the most part. The stretch run brings out the animal in us and when that animal forms it makes a whole, like Voltron. As I have preached many times over here, we need to maximize at bats to get more hits that can turn into more counting stats. On the pitching side we need to get our innings by streaming starters and middle relievers. If you still have 6 starters then you are either killing your league or missing the point. I have played in and currently play in one of these leagues and let me tell you, we go through relief pitchers like I go through toilet paper after hitting up the local Indian buffet.
