We're back for Year 3! Our champion from last year has mysteriously vanished. Is this the year Buddhism finally strongarms its way to the top after two consecutive years of setting the regular season scoring standard? Will the ghosts of field clubs past find a way to return to glory? Will we all be cut down by a new mysterious Manager V of unknown North Carolinian origins? Will PX unironically draft someone that isn't a bird? Only time will tell!
So I've reinvited everyone that was in the league last year (Vic, Edible, Soul Devour, Arashi, Link, yuyukos, PX, Hainiryuun, Zirene, Drunk Aya, and TSO). If any of you are not interested in returning, please let me know and I will remove you from the invite list. If you ARE interested in returning but did not get an invite, give me a functional e-mail address and I will re-send it.
I am keeping all the same settings as least year; if we end up with only 10 managers, I will revert to Year 1's settings. (Exceptions: All Matt Schaub points will be doubled.) More teams can be added, of course! Anyone that wants to join should let us know and provide an e-mail address to which I can send invites.
The draft is currently schedule for August 31st at 8 PM US Eastern. This is subject to change; I have chosen this date and time as a placeholder because it is the last weekend day before the regular season starts and people tend to be home on Sunday evenings.

Hope to not get my ass kicked as badly this year

something something lol josh gordon
Also, in.

We're still doing yahoo?
-
Is it not letting you sign up?
-
Hello friends, perhaps this year I will not lose the last 2 weeks in a row to miss the playoffs. :V
In the meantime, what other legal shenanigans will players get into that result in suspensions and entertainment value? :derp:
-
I for one hope I manage to have a solid set of starters everywhere instead of like no where.

Want to point out that Yahoo has Jamaal Charles as the #1 player this year, which means you can be sure he will be completely mediocre this year.

Are you trying to break his leg?
-
And yet you'd be silly to not draft him #1 overall. That team hasn't changed its offense much.

No but they face much better defenses this year :V

Just pick Knile Davis to screw with everyone.

Oh shit I need to reg on this

PX, I saw this and thought of you. :derp:

Things I've learned from pre-season football (besides nothing):
- Blaine Gabbert still garbage
-
I'm glad I didn't wind up going to the ravens/niners game last night
I've seen enough of gabbert being terrible for one lifetime.

So what are our team numbers and league settings looking like this year?

Staple 8 people

It's 8 right now but TSO hasn't signed up so idk what that will do to everything.
Also, Panthers #keeppounding

Can I ask we move the draft to the 30th?

*cough*
Can I sign up again?

Sure? :V

Whups forgot to sign up.

We probably need one more now.
-
I can get someone from off-site if need be

I can seriously drop if it's an issue. School is gonna crush me hard starting in a week.

O-ok... :ohdear:

So we still need to replace EP

Hmmm... y'know, if it comes down to it, I guess it is possible to run with bye weeks on an odd number of teams.

The draft won't allow an odd number of teams, despite the Bye thing.
Wish I knew what happened to Zirene.

Is it time to start making Gordon jokes now that he's out for the year?

"start"?

Johnny "Johnny Football" Football for new #1 Browns wideout

Where's Braylon Edwards when you need him?

Looks like the gang is back together again.
-
There's Zirene! :D
Let's rock this thing. Is moving it to Saturday per PX's request okay with everyone? I don't personally mind either way, I'll probably just be drunk...er on saturday
-
I have to drive to Charlotte on Saturday to pick up a car, but I should be back before 8 pm in all likelihood.
-
I'm fine with either day. Libations will be consumed while drafting regardless. :V
-
Is 9:00 PM EST acceptable, to allow ample time for Vic's return?
-
There's Zirene! :D

Yea sorry about that. :ohdear: I moved and didn't have internet for a while and Yahoo was being weird on my phone. Any time is good for me. Football!
It's amazing how much stuff I got done without internet. It also forced me to do some old school gaming (Command and Conquer <3).
-
9 PM Saturday is indeed still a draft time option, for those curious. I could be there then.
-
We'll be leaving early enough on Saturday morning that 8 pm is completely doable, which is better for me than 9 lololol
-
I'm actually free on Sunday as well so :V
-
I infinitely prefer later on Sunday, 9-10PM, (for those who can) rather than earlier or on Saturday. I'll be drafting from my iPod down at the beach so I wanna make sure I can get a hold of a wifispot and not have to worry about dinner >_>
-
Cutting into my Tera time :<
-
Late Sunday doesn't work for me, unfortunately. I can do late Saturday, but I gotta get up early on Monday.
Is anytime post-8pm doable Saturday for you, Soul?
-

Yeah, later is better. I have an excellent feeling my family is going out to eat Saturday night and 8pm has a good chance of being during dinner. 9pm would be safer, 10pm would be just about 100% safe.
-
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and say 9pm tomorrow is our time - Kilga can move it to 9:30 at his discretion.
Is this cool with all peeps?
-
I promise I won't blackout this year
-
Changed to 9 PM for the time being. Minor time tweaks are still up for discussion, though.

[20:44:07] <Edible> Reisen-Udongein-Inaba: beep
[20:44:11] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> boop
[20:44:16] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> Oh right the fantasy league thing
[20:44:24] <Edible> yas
[20:44:36] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> Also you'll like this
[20:44:42] <Edible> 9pm tomorrow appears to be the time
[20:45:07] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> I am in a league where (a) I put a waiver claim in this morning for Derek Carr, and (b) I was both surprised and happy when it actually processed
[20:45:36] <Edible> He made the seahawks D look like
[20:45:37] <Edible> carrdboard
[20:46:21] <Edible> Wait
[20:46:36] <Edible> What was your QB situation previously that you were in that big a need of a raiders qb <_<
[20:50:11] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> Edible: It's more that it's a 16 team league with an OP spot
[20:50:17] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> So it's beneficial to have a second QB
[20:50:40] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> That being said, my QB situation was garbage (Eli Manning/Kirk Cousins)
[20:50:51] <Edible> Oh ho ho.
[20:50:54] <Edible> Oh dear lord.
[20:50:58] <Edible> How the fuck?
[20:51:05] <Edible> You didn't even get a starting QB ther.e
[20:51:14] <Edible> :V
[20:51:16] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> By focusing on RBs and WRs early on <_<
[20:51:26] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> It's a 1-point PPR league soooo
[20:51:31] <Edible> Weeeeelp.
(http://i57.tinypic.com/3329w1k.png)
It's a pretty good team on the whole! Just kinda lacking in the QB department. :V
-
OP?
-
QB/RB/WR/TE.
-
Packers without Raji, Niners without Aldon, Panthers without any WRs, NFC East without a chance.
Congrats on making the Super Bowl Seahawks
-
Hey, I don't know, I think the Eagles have a lot of potential and could surPFTHAHAHAHA sorry I couldn't do it.
-
Hey, there's always the Saints
Or the Rams Cardinals Lions Bears Falcons Nobody
Unless the Patriots make it to the Super Bowl then Eli will get a third ring and people will call him elite again for some god awful reason
-

Ugh, kill me
I like the Rams, but they REALLY should have gotten a QB with one of the 82374598243677856 picks they got from the 'Skins. I especially like how they have the Saints number these days. I'd feel better about the Cardinals if not for Carson Palmer. I don't expect a big slide from them, and with Aldon +1 out for SF they might be a contender for a wild card spot :V Lions lol. Bears will be interesting to watch as the only other good team in NFCN. Falcons will remain terrible this year and Matt Ryan is so boring it's utterly indescribable.
Eli lucked into beating Brady the first time, and Brady was past his prime the second time (also the Giants were way healthier). That's right, I said Brady is past his prime. He's still great but he's no early-00s Brady.

80 MINUTES AND COUNTING
-
Well, I guess I'm letting the Draft Gods settle my fate. Getting into dinner late so yeah...
-
30 minutes out from home because I took a nap and left late lol
-

I like how I took reggie later anyway

I see I missed the whole draft.
*Looks at players on team*
Is that Carson Palmer on my team? Wtf...
...eh, I'll make it work.
-
Yahoo said I wouldn't win last year but I did.
Yahoo said I wouldn't win this year and they're probably right.
I mean THEY'RE TOTALLY WRONG
-
I just realized why it says I barely match up to TSO. I didn't draft a kicker. So that's like 120 fantasy points taken away from me total. And here I was wondering why I was ranked so low :V
-
Doh, didn't have time to check this thread over the weekend. Thought the draft was still tonight :(
-
The autodraft teams turned out pretty well, I think. Few adjustments here and there like not having two kickers (why the fuck does yahoo still do this) and you should be good to go.
-

It does it because why in the world would you have 2 kickers? lol
Hell, there are quite a lot of people in money leagues that go without drafting kickers at all
-
my autodraft public league team is better than this one and I wasn't even drinking :ohdear:
the power of Football Butt (http://www.sbnation.com/fantasy/2014/8/7/5978593/how-to-ruin-a-fantasy-mock-draft) is strong
-
I have one of the better drafts and I was in Ann Arbor away from home the whole time while it was taking place. Autodrafts are the best. I have possibly the best RB core in the league. :V
-
Ryan Mallet got sent to the Texans. Dat arm.
-
Holy shit chiefs, why would you pay alex smith that much money
-
Because Andy Reid.
-
Because Andy Reid.
Seriously.
Did you know that Alex Smith's best season is still statistically worse than Matt Cassel's, on the same team?
It's ridiculous.
-
In other shitty QB news, Matt Schaub lost the QB battle in Oakland.
-
Should've drafted him when you had the chance.
-
Gj raiders, keeping the streak of rookie starters alive :V
Schaub also has elbow tendinitis
-
Schaub also has elbow tendinitis
I'm sure if he had a chipped nail they would've benched him for that.

TWO MORE DAYS
I already took the over on the game. Go refs!
-
Sure am glad I avoided Welker in my fantasy leagues this year, for the first time in years :V
-
Why would I want Dark Helmet on my team? :V
-
How many Broncos have been busted for substances in the past couple of years, anyway? It feels like at least a handful of them.
-
A 'skins fan made this graph describing all NFL teams
(http://i.imgur.com/e5883F8.png)
I'm definitely sure the Chargers should be far more to the right. Like maybe next to the Bengles
-
Vikings on the bottom? Have we forgotten the Love Boat incident already?
-
The Vikings should probably be bottom left corner
-
That chart just makes no damn sense to me
Oh my god there's actual football tomorrow <3<3<3
-
... god dammit PX :V
-
Hey, the guy he picked up has a better chance of playing this year than the guy he dropped. Smart move imo :colbert:

haha, was on my computer when I heard the announcement. Immediately went to claim him in every league I'm in :p

Well, that game was really good for... a half.

Looks like MotK Town could learn a thing or two from Seattle about using its Lynch power properly.
-
Well, that game was really good for... a half.
It's just been a while since I have been as pissed off as I was last night at just the general incompetence of Green Bay last night. Shot themselves in the foot over and over and over.
-
In fairness, losing Bulaga that early hurt a lot. I don't think he would have made a 20-point difference, but I think the game would have been a fair amount closer.
-
Oh hey, another Arizona RB who's injured and out indefinitely.
-
In fairness, losing Bulaga that early hurt a lot. I don't think he would have made a 20-point difference, but I think the game would have been a fair amount closer.
The 4th down sack and the safety are worth last least 10 right there imo.
But I'll put it more on the:
1) Running into the kicker penalty (3 points)
2) Only having 10 men on the field for a Seattle TD (7 Points)
3) Twice making 3rd down stops, only to give Seattle a free first down via penalty
4) Burning a TO for 12 men on the field
5) Inability to defend the read option (I'm looking at YOU Dom Capers)
6) Losing the turnover battle (I still think Jordy should have caught that)
-
5) Inability to defend pretty much anything (I'm looking at YOU Dom Capers)
Fixed for fairness
Also if this isn't capers' last year on the job I think packers fans are going to riot.
-

We've already started rioting. Personally, I'd just would rather scrap the entire coaching stuff and start over, but that won't happen. Special teams has been awful for 5+ years. How Slocum still has a job is well beyond me. Packers haven't had a defense since the year they won the Super Bowl, and the offense is essentially entirely Rodgers. Just having Rodgers is pretty much worth 8+ wins on his own, but if GB is going to win another SB, the coaching we have isn't going to cut it.
-
help what are receivers
-
Hey, we know exactly what receivers are.
They just tend to refuse to do things like stay healthy, or not get into ridiculous amounts of trouble with drugs.
-
guys guys guys
football today!
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!
-
Clearly Jacksonville needs to hire Matt Millen as GM.
-
In our team's history, we've drafted four WRs in the first round.
Three of them turned out to be major headcases with drug problems.
If Matt Millen gets anywhere near this team we're doomed.
-
CONVERSELY IF WE GET A UDFA WR NAMED ALLEN HURNS HE'S DA BES

If Lovie Smith doesn't start Mike Glennon next week then he should be fired before the opening kick, good lord that was some truly awful play
-
I still have faith, but holy hell did my team shit the bed :V
-
I'm still mad about that Carolina/Tampa game and I'm a fan of the team that won. McCown is the new Matt Flynn.
-
Between OSU and the Packers this is going to be a looooooooooooooong season of fooseball ;~;
Figures it happens the first year I get season tickets too :[
-
Welp, Ray Rice is
probably fucked. Good thing nobody drafted hi-
oh :(
-
Good riddance.
Related: I had no idea Justin Forsett still existed. Sure glad I didn't pull the trigger on Bernard Pierce in any leauges!
-
I'm still gonna win with Pierce :V
-
I think K. Moreno might just save my RBs this year. Also holy hell Ray Rice, I wonder if he'll play again.
-
Very unlikely. Signing him at this point is basically saying you don't care about women. Any team that tries will get absolutely slammed socially, and probably financially as well when people stop buying tickets/jerseys.
-
He's done forever

Good timing on the NCAA announcing Penn State's post-season ban getting lifted (kidding of course but not really).

Oh god Harbaugh's press conference about Rice hurt to watch. "Had a chance to talk to Ray along with Ozzie this afternoon after we did it [Release Rice]. And, um, you know I have nothing but [looks away from camera, long pause, big sigh]... hope and good will for Ray and Janay." Oof, he couldn't even say respect, can't blame him.
Get well soon Clowney-kun. :(

Bleh, shit luck with Marshall. I was at the airport in the lead-up to that game. Oh well.

So Arashi had the highest WR point goal last week. Second place? Me, who lost to her :(

Sorry about Marshall, they did it to me too (75%, unlikely to play, fuck you yahoo), but damn what a comeback :V

Will this be the week Toby Gerhart finally plays well? (No)
Will Adrian Peterson play again this year? (No)
Are the Panthers the best team in the NFC!? (No)

Okay, this year just fucking has it out for me.
I picked up Harry Douglas and threw him in, thinking he'll have a big game. Instead, he gets two catches and is out for the rest of it with a foot injury.

It's strange to think that there are two AFC South teams where one quarterback has yet to be sacked and another quarterback who has been sacked about twice as many times as the next-closest guy and that the Texans are the former team instead of the latter.
-
So, anyone want to play Adrian Peterson Roulette?
Will he get reactivated in October? Will he be out for the year? Who knows!
Taking trade offers now. :fail:

Alshon Jeffery for Kirk Cousins lol

Ohhhhhhh man this Broncos/Seahawks game
-
The TVs in the sports bar near the mochi house showed the Seahawks leading 10-3 when I got on the bus to go home. I thought it was going to be another "Seahawks destroy Broncos" game. I had no idea.
-
Alshon +10 points vs B-Marsh.
I'm right fucked. <_<
-
It's pretty much gonna come down to "who wins the touchdown lottery".
Which, well, I like Marshall's chances there, but who knows?
-
As long as we beat the Falcons this year I'll be somewhat happy...
-
:toot:
-
AW YEAH THE SEASON CAN START IN EARNEST NOW THAT I'VE GOT MY FIRST WIN
... still in 11th place with the lowest score, but hey!
-
Mike Glennon finally starting, will Tampa finally pull off their first win of the year? Also, how bad will tomorrow's game be?!
-
I think the Giants are going to be just fine now
-
RIP kirk cousins hype train, you have derailed spectacularly.
-
Good thing everyone here was too smart to buy into the Kirk Cousins hype
...except for me of course. Thank god Wilson is back next week.

Wow that was a good guess. Do you handicap games or something?
FCC says no more Black Out rules on their side, the NFL just can't win this year.

Panthers won, not bad. Don't want to get too hype over it.
-
Phew :V
-
w/e, won money :V
Edit: lol
-
We're bad, but we still play the rest of the afc south 6 games a year
-
If any team goes 0-16 it'll be the Raiders
-
It kills me having to drop AP, but his trial won't start until december, so the chances he actually plays this year are nil.

Last time we had Jets/Patriots on Thursday night, we got the holiest of holy plays. He're hoping for a repeat performance tonight!
(Never mind the fact that the Sanchize is in Philly now.)
-
Harvin traded to Jets. Lol
-
What the fuck?
-
Conditional draft pick.
-
Something must have been going on behind the scenes in Seattle. Maybe Harvin is a locker room cancer. That would certainly explain why the Jets got him.

I have no idea how I'm 6-2
-
I mostly gave up because school hurts :[ Sorry :ohdear:
-
Oh, panthers...

TSO don't forget to update your team, you're playing me this week. You have some players not playing this week in your starting lineup.
-
I am confused as to how the Saints have suddenly turned Mark Ingram into a serviceable back.
-
I am confused as to how the Saints have suddenly turned Mark Ingram into a serviceable back.
It's less "turned him into" and more "actually used him". He hasn't really improved all that much, but his carries have gone way up.
Like, he has more carries this year than last year, and he's played five games this year :V
-
Wow, rivers.
wow.
-
Right after I decide to give up this week everyone decides to not play like complete dogshit.
That Thursday game hurt though. I'm sick of Ron Rivera and want 1) him gone next year and Mike Shula too and 2) AN OFFENSIVE TACKLE IN THE FIRST ROUND!!!!!!!!! HOW IS THAT SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT!?
-
Class of the AFC what what
So much for the Jimmy Garoppolo era!
Also looking forward to sliding into the 6th seed after today (unless I'm misremembering how the other results were going). Who knew going full Patriots would pay off so well?

Oh, I didn't touch my team this past week because I hate fantasy now, left 4 players on bye and lost by 3 points. I'm the stupidest ever.
-
Dat 1st place

Highest point total in the league in 6th place. I demand the Ed E. Bull Memorial Trophy for my efforts.

Can already hear the rednecks hollering to bench Crooked Nose because he's terrible.
btw it's college basketball season, so i'm gonna re-up my hype on NC State because we've got a strong team I'm convinced of it don't try and stop me GO PACK!

The 2008 Lions retain their place in ignominy. :V

Might as well just hand the AFC spot in the Super Bowl to the Patriots now.

I'm pulling so hard for a Cardinals-Browns Super Bowl. That would just be perfect
-
Why is my entire team suddenly injured?
-
The Browns probably win the AFC North and have a serious shot at going deep into the playoffs. Brian Hoyer is a serviceable, competent quarterback who finally has all his weapons available to him and their defense is and has been reasonably good. Even Billy Cundiff is getting done in crunchtime, with his game-winning FG today. This just might be their year.
-
BUDDHISM STRONG scored 143.84 points and lost. It is the highest losing score in the league this season.
I'm so happy :V
-
I'm so happy :V
you da best :toot:

I would have beaten you as well. Without a TE to boot :V
-
Shoot, I think I've pretty much clinched a bye week...unless I choose to bench everyone this week. Gonna be weird not having to worry (too much) about fantasy for 2 weeks.
-
So I'm basically accepting of keeping Ron Rivera next year, but we'll probably at least lose Shula, because Jerry Richardson sucks and is an idiot.
Please draft well next year Panthers :(

Also, I hope JFF goes absolutely ham over the Panthers this weekend to give credence to starting Andersen in week 17 against Atlanta en route to a great draft pick (pleasepleaseplease)

Lost my other two semifinals matchups this week by a combined 3.5 points. If I lose the title in this league by a similarly minute amount I am Not Going To Be Pleased.
-
This is why fantasy is bullshit. Look at my abomination of a team, how did it make the finals? :V :V
Good luck Kilga, may the best maiden win.

However this game ends, you better show up at Otakon 2015 so one of us can rub it in the face of the other :V

Hey, remember when Arizona was suicide for QBs? :V

That's the joke.jpg

Panthers talk: Ron Rivera will be back next year, because his teams play ridiculously well in December (he's like 13-3 all time with the Panthers) and Jerry Richardson would HATE to pay a coach money to not coach (more than losing).
As beneficial as playoff experience would be to this team, we NEED NEED NEED a great OT, and that's just not going to be found after the 21st pick in the first round.
We're playing well though. J-Stew is playing incredibly well after being injured for...always. Cam is throwing well, Kelvin Benjamin can catch balls decently, the Other Receivers can draw coverage, Greg Olsen is too good for us, DL is finally gelling a little. We could probably beat Atlanta, and even the reeling Cardinals, and then get #rekt on the road at Whoever.
I'm so torn :(
-
Then Rivera will punt on the 38 yard line up 3 with 40 seconds left against the Falcons, who will proceed to march down 70 yards in 30 seconds, ending with a Matty Ice qb scramble from the 3 yard line to win

(5) Arizona at (4) Carolina
1) Panthers are red hot coming off of a 4-0 finish.
2) Panthers seeking revenge for the 2008 drubbing the Cardinals gave them
3) Cardinals limped into the post-season on their 3rd string QB who almost got benched for their 4th string
4) Panthers will win and then get demolished by the Seahawks
5) I'd rather have an OT next year

Arizona looked like an 0-16 team yesterday.
Also I have no idea how the steelers lost. Losing bell must have really fucked them up.
-
Also I have no idea how the steelers lost. Losing bell must have really fucked them up.
A couple things probably:
1) Jim was hanging out on the sidelines with John the whole game, meaning the Ravens had DOUBLE HARBAUGH POWER!
2) Kubiak called great plays all night, furthering the Texans -> Ravens brain drain started by Jacoby Jones
3) Steve Smith is their new Ray Lewis type of locker room motivator.
4) Flacco playoff bullshit *~*MaGiC*~*
5) Ben Tate is fucking awful, not to mention a terrible substitute for Bell
Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton will both be fired next year unless they win the whole damn thing, 0-4 in the playoffs loooooool
That was totally DPI on Dallas, but Detroit was starting to choke long before that play.
Glad we get the Seahawks instead of the Packers in GB (again) so we can make our pending loss next week at least look close.
EDIT: With Cam Newton surviving his car accident and Ron Rivera surviving a two-alarm fire in his house last night, Panthers are confirmed for Team Of Destiny this year.
-
It begins.
I won't get to watch either game today due to various commitments, but goddamn am I nervous about the Ravens :ohdear: I don't care that we have Gronk and all of their inspirational leaders on defense have retired, they're still the Ravens.

Rex Ryan to the Bills.
NEVER LEAVING THE AFC EAST.
-
Could be a good pickup for Buffalo - that defense was already good, and he'll make it even better. What they need the most is a QB, though, and Rexy doesn't exactly have the best track record there.

Malcolm Butler for MVP
-
Fuck:
- Seattle Seahawks playcalling
- Pete Carroll
- Russell Wilson
- Tom Brady
- Robert Kraft
- Whoever decided Tom Brady should be MVP with that awful performance
- Roger "The Ginger Hammer" Goodell
- Football in general
-
Good lord, that was amazing... I was in tears, and I come from Seahawk land... I didn't care who won, just that it was an amazing game... and this was glorious.
-
Well.
ROFL SEAHAWKS for (literally) throwing that game away, but that was one hell of an exciting game. And approximately a billion times better than last year.
-
Fuck:
- Whoever decided Tom Brady should be MVP with that awful performance
>74% completion rate
>New Super Bowl record for completions
>Ties Super Bowl record for passing TDs
>On opposing defense that has three Pro Bowlers in their starting secondary and is being hailed as possibly the best defense ever

Deadspin or bust!
EDIT: For the record, Edelman would have also been a very worthy recipient. Also, shame on them for not calling Butler to the stage during/after the trophy presentation.
-
Brady is the boring but safe choice for mvp this game, imo.
It's not like the ravens or giants (#2) selecting flacco/eli when they were clearly not the best players on the field.
-
Deadspin or bust!
The first half was sleep inducing in it's awfulness, and both of Brady's picks resonate so much than Wilson's pick; playing against a "legendary (and injured) secondary" and he should have carved them up for so much more than he did.
Butler deserved MVP for single (double) handedly saving the game, especially considering that last year they gave the MVP to Malcolm Smith for 1 (one) recovered fumble and 1 (one) interception returned for a touchdown.
Pete Carroll deserved MVP for The Worst Playcall In Super Bowl History.
Gronkowski deserved MVP for his TD reception and disrupting the Seattle secondary the entire game so that the rest of his team were able to make plays.
Tom Brady is boring and predictable in his old age, and he's never going to drive a Chevrolet Colorado, but I bet Butler would have loved it.
Then again, Aaron Rodgers won MVP of the league once again for "being the Packers QB" so imo all MVP awards should be eliminated.

Random factoid:
For some reason, my high school got picked (or paid money) to be in the NFL Super Bowl Rally commercial that appeared right after the 3rd quarter ended.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pRha3n5qrA
They're Arcadia High School and appear twice at 0:20 and 0:36. Back when I was in high school, the marching band was almost 400 students. I'm sure it's gone up a bit since then.
The football game was fantastic. A few of the guys put money on the Patriots +3.5 spread. So even when Wilson got intercepted at the end, they were still stressed because "the Patriots can't take a knee there, it'll be a safety and they'll only be up by 2 points." Then Seattle encroached. So much cheering at the end. It was a great time.
