The Pound Drops the Hotness

30. September 2011 by Big Dog.

For the first time since 2006, The Chronic Pound has released new music. Here are two tracks from the Dope Sound labs.

1. Pound Sterling (The Intro)

2011 Week 1 Power Rankings

5. September 2011 by Big Dog.

Methodology: ChronicPound.com’s mathematical formula is not applicable until prior to week 3. This post is a subjective ranking, achieved as follows:

The OD, Purple Drank and the Pound ranked all 10 teams in 10 positions, with a horizon of about 2-4 weeks. The ten positions were RB1, QB1, RB2, WR1, RB3, WR2, TE1, QB2, RB4, and WR3. For WR3, the first four were ranked; the last 6 were declared a tie. The OD was called away to defend the United States. Purple Drank and the Pound finished the process. We gave 4 points for finishing in the top 2, 3 points for finishing in the next two spots, 2 points for finishing in the next three spots and 1 point for finishing in the bottom 3. For the last 6 teams in WR3, we gave each team 1.5 points.

[Editor’s note: Due to the recent news about Peyton Manning’s status for Week 1, the author made the decision to downgrade the QB1 position for Balls Deep, upgrading by default TwinnyTwin. The rankings and scores reflect this decision.]

We then assigned each position a weight. RB1 and QB1 = 4; RB2 and WR1 = 3; RB3, WR2 and TE1 = 2; QB2, RB4 and WR3 =1. Each ranking point was multiplied by its weight, and points were summed. For example: Purple Drank had what the committee felt was the number one RB1. That team is assigned a 4. RB1 is given a weight of 4. The two numbers multiplied together yield 16 points. Proceeding with all other positions and all other teams yielded a total score.

We did not factor in any positions other than these, specifically two starting positions, K and D. This is because we felt the volatility of the two positions made it impossible for us to accurately rank the teams in these two categories. The rosters below only include the ranked positions, though sometimes two similarly valued players are listed in the same tier, separated by a slash.

1. The OD

QB: B. Roethlisberger, J. Flacco

RB: J. Charles, S. Jackson, F. Jones, R. Mathews/J. Best

WR: L. Fitzgerald, M. Wallace, S. Holmes

TE: A. Gates

Why here? The OD is solid at the top of the roster, and has very good depth in the middle to lower positions.

2. Purple Drank

QB: A. Rodgers, E. Manning

RB: A. Peterson, A. Foster, L. Blount, L. Tomlinson/C. Spiller/B. Tate

WR: W. Welker, S. Johnson, R. Meachem/N. Burleson

TE: J. Finley

Why here? Purple Drank is extremely top-heavy, which can go a long way toward fantasy success. The wide receivers have to be considered a hole to fill until proven otherwise.

3. Pound Sterling

QB: M. Vick, D. Brees

RB: Chronson, M. Turner, T. Hightower, M. Ingram/B. Jacobs

WR: M. Manningham, K. Britt, L. Evans

TE: J. Graham

Why here? The Pound has similar strengths as Purple Drank, as well as questions at wide receiver. Compared to Drank, they are worse at RB2 and TE1.

4. ThuggishRuggish Bone

QB: S. Bradford, J. Cutler, M. Cassel/C. McCoy

RB: R. Rice, D. McFadden, M. Jones-Drew, K. Moreno

WR: H. Nicks, R. Wayne, M. Colston/J. Jones

TE: V. Davis

Why here? Bone has supreme depth at RB, but must rely on one of the quarterbacks to step up. The rest of the roster was filled out nicely.

5. Watch the Throne

QB: M. Schaub, T. Romo

RB: C. Benson, M. Tolbert, J. Addai, P. Thomas

WR: A. Johnson, M. Williams (TB), M. Sims-Walker

TE: J. Witten

Why here? Throne has an excellent pair of starting receivers, plus an elite tight end. The quarterback situation is a good one. The running backs are deficient.

6. Eagles

QB: T. Brady

RB: F. Gore, R. Grant, D. Thomas, J. Starks

WR: R. White, J. Maclin, J. Knox

TE: D. Clark

Why here? Goldenboy alone will keep a team in contention. White can lead a decent receiving corps into battle. The running backs have questions marks.

7. TwinnyTwin

QB: M. Ryan, M. Stafford

RB: R. Mendenhall, A. Bradshaw, M. Lynch, D. Woodhead/J. Snelling

WR: Cal. Johnson, D. Bowe, C. Ochocinco

TE: L. Kendricks

Why here? The QB’s have upside to move into top 5 at their positions, but must first prove it. The backs are deemed middle of the pack. The receivers are good, but the tight end is a rookie.

8. Balls Deep

QB: J. Freeman, P. Manning

RB: L. McCoy, M. Forte, R. Bush, W. McGahee

WR: D. Jackson, D. Bryant, L. Moore

TE: O. Daniels

Why here? Obviously the injury to Manning is the primary reason. Freeman must keep the ship afloat, and the starting backs need to carry the team.

9. Difunto

QB: P. Rivers, K. Kolb

RB: D. Williams, B. Wells, B. Green-Ellis, J. Stewart

WR: G. Jennings, A. Collie, A. Boldin

TE: R. Gronkowski

Why here? Rivers and Jennings are the only bullet-proof players on the roster. We like the upside of Wells and Gronk, but we have to see it on the field first.

10. DYNASTY DENIED

QB: C. Newton, M. Sanchez

RB: P. Hillis, S. Greene, F. Jackson

WR: M. Austin, V. Jackson, B. Lloyd

TE: M. Lewis

Why here? We simply don’t trust the quarterback situation, despite studs in Hillis and the receivers.

The three GM’s responsible for the power rankings end up at the top of the list. It is a fact not lost on this author. We would love to hear feedback, or alternative lists.

Here is the tabulation of points. Click the thumbnail for the full image.

2011 Top 40 Trade Value List

5. September 2011 by Big Dog.

Big Dog Says: My dignified colleague and fellow Dub3 GM, the Defiler, was ambitious enough to put together this list, with a little help from me. All of the words on this page are his, unless prefaced with “Big Dog Says.“

A Note on Dynasty: To call Dynasty is to exercise a once-in-a-decade option to forfeit all draft picks in exchange for keeping all 16 players on a roster. The Dude did that this year. Since this is historically a top 40 list, representing all kept players, we have eliminated from consideration all but 4 of the Dude’s team. Those players are listed in the honorable mention section, along with other players cut at the deadline.

I could have been a keep-uh (in no particular order):

Brandon Lloyd, Knowshon Moreno, Dez Bryant, Mike Williams (Tampa), Maurice Jones Drew, Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, Ryan Mathews, Jahvid Best, Felix Jones, Joe Flacco, Big Ben, Mike Wallace

Not Keeper Worthy

40. Ryan Grant, RB, Packers/Eagles

Ryan Grant figured to have a huge year last season, but he ended up getting hurt in the first game. Placed on IR by the Eagles, he ended up as a surprise keeper. It’s not a bad gamble since Grant has some upside, but at the same time you don’t really know what you’re getting from him. UPDATE: Apparently Grant just took a pay cut to ensure that the team pays him a year’s salary…which means that the Packers were thinking about straight up cutting him from the team. I…I don’t know what to think.

2010 Rank: 28, Bargaining Chips

39. Cedric Benson, RB, Bengals/US Credit Downgrade?

While Benson is only 28, he’s put LOTS of miles on his tires over the past few seasons. He didn’t set the world on fire last year, and Cincy doesn’t look to be a very dynamic offense this season. UPDATE: He was also arrested recently. It looks like he’ll serve time during the bye week. This guy is not good.

2010 Rank: 26, Bargaining Chips

38. Austin Collie, WR, Colts/difunto

When he’s healthy, he’s an explosive fantasy number two receiver. The fear is that his head is as fragile as an egg shell, and one hit could permanently end his season/career/life. I’ve seen him listed as a big sleeper in a number of places, which is a testament to his ability and worth (apparently he led the league last year in percentage of balls caught versus number of balls thrown at him), but I’m scared off by his health. Plus, Peyton seems hurt.

2010 Rank: Unranked

Flawed with upside

These players were deemed keeper worthy…but if you wanted to trade for them, you probably could.

37. Reggie Wayne, WR, Colts/LEBRON

The man who has been at the center of more contested trades in league history, Reggie Wayne is on the downside of his career, but hasn’t totally fallen off the way Marvin Harrison did. (Side note: remember how Harrison totally lost it during his last two seasons? Do you think it was because he shot that guy? Or was it just a rapid decline in athleticism?) Regardless, Reggie Wayne should get some decent touches, his share of catches, a few TDs. Again, I worry about Peyton’s health, and the general aging of this Colts offense, but he’s a good wide out and has been for a very long time.

Big Dog Says: Anyone who thinks Wayne and a 6^th is worth Vick and a 4^th is either a trade terrorist, or hasn’t seen this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr7DeUZumcs

2010 Rank: 24, Bargaining Chips

36. DeAngelo Williams, RB, Carolina/Difunto

The past two seasons, DeAngelo Williams has gotten hurt. He plays for arguably one of the worst teams in the league. And yet and yet and yet! When he gets it going, like he did at the end of the 2008 season, he can be a dominating force. The Panthers think so, too, apparently, since they just signed him to a pretty lucrative new deal. And you have to think the Panthers organization will want to see their new investment on the field. There is always a fear Jonathan Stewart will vulture touches and touchdowns from Williams, but at the outset of the season, Stewart is hurt.

UPDATE: I listened to a podcast with Steve Smith, the Carolina receiver, and he thought that Mike Goodson would lead the team in touchdowns. Do with that what you will.

2010 Rank: 12, Only for the Right Price

35. Stephen Jackson, RB, St Louis/The Dude

Can Stephen Jackson remain consistently good long enough for the upstart Rams to take advantage of his talents? Jackson has been a very good back on some pretty shitty teams. I hope he gets to reap the benefits of finally being on a playoff contender.

2010 Rank: 20, Only for the Right Price

34. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas/US Credit Downgrade?

Big Dog Says: It seems like he should be a top 5 QB year in and year out, but he hasn’t delivered such a season in 4 years.

2010 Rank: Unranked

33. Shonn Greene, RB, Jets/Your Mom’s Vagina

I was high on Greene last year (as were a lot of people) but he didn’t end up delivering. LT vultured a fair share of touch downs and perhaps more surprisingly, for at least the first half of the season, just seemed like the better running back. (Remember: LT was thought to be washed up at the time, too.) This is a put up or shut up season for Greene. Rex Ryan will give him plenty of touches – let’s see what he does with them.

2010 Rank: 18, Only for the Right Price

32. Matt Schaub, QB, Texans/US Credit Downgrade?

Much like the team he plays for, Schaub doesn’t seem able to quite make the leap. He’s a good quarterback, but he’s not a great one. Still, with those weapons, you have to think he’ll put up some pretty decent points.

2010 Rank: 14, Only for the Right Price

31. Vincent Jackson, WR, San Diego Chargers/Your Mom’s Vagina

You have to wonder with this guy – on the one hand, he figures to be the number one receiver on a pass happy offense, with a fiery quarterback who loves to throw the ball. On the other, he hasn’t ever really performed well for an entire season. This could be the year he breaks out.

2010 Rank: Unranked

Bargaining Chips

The following players would be hard to trade for…but not THAT hard.

30. Miles Austin, WR, Cowboys/Your Mom’s Vagina

Austin had a bit of a down year last season, though that was mostly due to Tony Romo’s absence. A lot of people are high on the Boys offense this year, since Romo is back, and Dez Bryant figures to be a better number two receiver than Roy Williams. You could do a lot worse than Miles Austin.

2010 Rank: 19, Only for the Right Price

29. DeSean Jackson, WR, Eagles/Balls Deep

He’s a truly explosive receiver on a dynamic offense. It never hurts to be Vick’s deep threat.

2010 Rank: 30, Bargaining Chips

28. Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants/Omega NuckaSterrs

Bradshaw went over 1200 yards last year, caught more than 40 balls, and he can find the end zone. Bradshaw would be an EXCELLENT number two back, and would be a decent number one, depending on the Giants offense.

2010 Rank: Unranked

27. Matt Ryan, RB Falcons/Omega NuckaSterrs

Hey, he’s a good QB in a good offense. Among the younger quarterbacks, I think Mattie Ice is in the best situation: Roddy White, Julio Jones and Michael Turner, plus a still marginally effective Tony Gonzalez. This could be the season he breaks out and becomes a great fantasy QB.

2010 Rank: Unranked

26. Michael Turner, RB, Falcons/The Chronic Pound

Hey, he’s a good running back in a good offense. There are some injury concerns, but that’s true for everyone. I wonder if the Falcons are going to change their offensive philosophy and throw it more often, but either way Turner should be a low end number one back, definitely a high number two.

2010 Rank: 11, You’ll Need to Blow us Away

Only for the right price

These players would be tough to trade for.

25. Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers/The Dude

Gates is the best tight end in the league. For a while last season, I thought he was the MVP. He got hurt – as he always seems to do – but when he’s healthy he’s outstanding.

2010 Rank: Unranked

24. Frank Gore, RB, 49ers/Eagles

I feel like Gore is the Next Steven Jackson – a really tough, good player on a bad team. He’ll put up great numbers, but because the team is so bad, you can’t really consider him an elite guy. Still, he’s a solid dude, despite the injuries.

Big Dog Says: I respect what he’s done and what he means to the Eagles, but shouldn’t he be dead by now?

2010 Rank: 6, You’ll Need to Blow us Away

23. Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants/LEBRON

Nicks caught 11 touchdowns last year, and almost 80 balls. I worry his TDs might drop off a bit…but hell, maybe it’ll go up.

2010 Rank: Unranked

22. Greg Jennings, WR, Packers/Difunto

He’s the number one receiver on a truly great offense. Chicks dig the long ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P0yfq2wDvU

2010 Rank: 22, Only for the Right Price

21. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals/The Dude

We all remember what Fitzgerald did on the way to the Super Bowl. It was as if Randy Moss, Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin had a baby. He’s “struggled” the past few seasons (if by struggled you mean that he hasn’t been totally and completely dominant, only very, very good) mostly due to his QB situation. Fitzgerald, who just signed a nice fat contract, seems to really like having Kevin Kolb around. I’ll bet a million dollars Kolb likes having Fitzgerald more.

2010 Rank: 15, Only For the Right Price

20. Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Pittsburgh/Omega NuckaSterrs

I will not dock points for Mendenhall’s bizarre twitter rant about Osama bin Laden. I will dock him some points for rushing over 400 times last season, increasing the likelihood that he gets hurt this year.

2010 Rank: 13, Only For the Right Price

19. LeGarette Blount, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers/Purple Drank

I wish he caught more balls (um…only five last year, dude?) but he’s definitely got the talent, and best of all he’s the only game in town. Run him into the ground, Tampa Bay!

2010 Rank: Unranked

18. Matt Forte, RB, Bears/Balls Deep

I feel like Forte is a sneaky good running back. He catches a lot of balls, he’s relatively young, and he gets in the end zone one way or another. Why don’t more people talk about him? Where’s the love?

2010 Rank: 31, Flawed with Upside

17. Peyton Hillis, RB, Browns/Your Mom’s Vagina

Big Dog Says: You think this is too high for a white boy, and you fear the Madden Curse, until you remember that he morphs into Juggernaut from X-Men once every 4 games.

2010 Rank: Unranked

16. Darren McFadden, Run DMC, RB, Raiders/LEBRON

Run DMC! He finally showed some life last year, fulfilling the promise he showed while he was in college. He’s certainly got the talent – let’s see if he can do it again this season.

2010 Rank: Unranked

You’ll Need to Blow Us Away

15. Peyton Manning, QB, Colts/Balls Deep

Probably ranked a little too low, but his health and age are concerns for the time being. No doubt Manning puts together an MVP season once again…but until I see him do it, I’m not putting him in the top ten.

2010 Rank: 8, You’ll Need to Blow Us Away

14. Drew Brees, QB, Saints/The Chronic Pound

The Saints look ready to roll once again. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it to the Super Bowl again. Brees is an excellent QB, and the offense will put up tons of points.

2010 Rank: 5, Untouchables

13. Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit/Omega NuckaSterrs

Megatron. Nuff said.

2010 Rank: 17, Only for the Right Price

12. Roddy White, WR, Falcons/Eagles

Roddy White is ineligible for post-season awards, which is a shame, since he might be the league’s best wide out. The Falcons look to throw it a bunch, and Julio Jones should keep some pressure off of White (even if that means he doesn’t get quite as many looks). The dude’s also a goal line pig.

2010 Rank: 27, Bargaining Chips

11. Andre Johnson, WR, Texans/US Credit Downgrade?

He’s arguably one of the best receivers in the game. He’s a cornerstone, a building block, and a fucking good one. There have been a few injuries recently, but Johnson has looked typically great in the preseason.

2010 Rank: 7, You’ll Need to Blow us Away

10. Phillip Rivers, QB, Chargers/Difunto

He’s a wonderful, fiery young quarterback. He might not have the pedigree of Brady or Manning, but his stats are just as good. He’s an every Sunday starter.

2010 Rank: 21, Only for the Right Price

9. LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles/Balls Deep

Slim Shady should put up a bunch of points as the starting running back on the Eagles, and he can also catch a fair share of balls too (almost 80 receptions last year!). I like this dude a lot.

2010 Rank: Unranked

8. Ray Rice, RB, Baltimore Ravens/LEBRON

Ray Rice is going to be a dominant running back. I can feel it in my bones. He caught over 60 balls last year, and rushed for over 1200 yards. If he finds the end zone a little more often, he’s vaulted into the top five players in the league.

2010 Rank: 3, Untouchables

7. Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs/The Dude

The hot new thing! Everyone loves Jamaal Charles – some even have him going number one overall in a lot of drafts. He’s young, he’s quick, he’s elusive, and he can break out some big, long runs. I don’t question his skills at all, but I would like to see him actually put a whole season together before I take him over the rest of the guys ahead of him on this list. Plus, he didn’t rush for too many TDs last year. That being said, there’s a decent chance he’s the next Chris Johnson.

2010 Rank: 23, Bargaining Chips

6. Michael Vick, QB, Eagles/The Chronic Pound

The new $100 million dollar man! When Vick is healthy, and playing up to his abilities, he is the best player in fantasy football, and perhaps the best real-life player on the planet. Of course there are injury concerns given the way he plays…but we’re also talking about the guy that eviscerated the Washington Redskins and put the highest point total for an individual player in league history. He’s Must See TV.

2010 Rank: Unranked

The Untouchables

5. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots/Eagles

Arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady will always put up great numbers. Perhaps he’s a little low on this list, but that’s fine with him. He doesn’t care about number or the preseason. He just wants to win. He also gets bonus points for having a smoking hot model wife.

2010 Rank: 10, You’ll Need to Blow us Away

4. Arian Foster, RB, Texans/Purple Drank

The MVP of the W3FFL last season, Foster came out of nowhere to lead the league in a number of rushing categories. The Texans look to be a great offense once again, and Foster will likely reap the benefits. I wish his handcuffs were worse (then he’d be guaranteed to carry the load more often) but that’s picking at nits. The guy had a season for the ages last year. If he can come close to replicating last year’s numbers, he’ll be even higher on this list next year.

2010 Rank: Unranked

3. Chronson, Son of Chronic, RB, Titans/The Chronic Pound

I’m not that worried about the holdout, and anyway I think the Titans will be a better team than last year. I’d love to have him on my team. He’s an All Pro, he’s young, and he can rip off long runs on a more consistent basis than nearly any other running back.

UPDATE: Chronson has accepted Tennessee’s offer to be the highest paid back in the league.

2010 Rank: 1, Untouchables

2. Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings/Purple Drank

Big Dog Says: He’s the most physically gifted back since Bo Jackson.

2010 Rank: 2, Untouchables

1. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers/Purple Drank

He’s an elite young quarterback with incredible weapons, a super bowl ring on his finger and a championship belt around his waist. Unlike Brady, Manning and Brees, he’s just entering his prime, and figures to be great for years to come.

2010 Rank: 4, Untouchables

Shakeout from Last Year

Black Swan, Motherfucker, Do You Speak It?!?!

17. December 2010 by Big Dog.

You go gay, you get the Oscar. Just like Portman.

One place the Pound wanted to be last Sunday was balls-deep in the fantasy playoffs. Sadly, a regular season to forget eliminated us from playoff contention long ago. So we took in a movie. And what better way to spend 2 hours in a darkened theater than to watch dual smokeshows Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in full-on wet-dream lesbian action?

We’re not talking girl-girl smooching here, folks. We’re talking about 2 X’d up 20-somethings going back to Portman’s place for a night-cap after boning a couple dudes in a NYC club’s bathroom. We’re talking Portman diddling herself in the reverse cowgirl. Portman plays a sweet innocent girl with a darker side fighting to break out, and one of her first impulses is to attack Kunis like a dog in heat. Quickly the clothes come off, and in no time, Portman is brought to orgasm by a carpet-munching Kunis.

Oh, and Portman is an awesome ballerina, and gives a performance for the ages, and will win an Academy Award, blah, blah, blah. If you’re bummed about missing out on the fantasy playoffs, you could do worse than 2 hours at Black Swan.

Power Rankings

17. November 2010 by Big Dog.

(Click to zoom in.)

Rank. Team, Expected Wins (Last Week) - Comments

1. Purple Drank, 8.8 (1) - A week after posting one of the highest scores in history, Purple Drank blew it’s chance at destiny by putting up a paltry 50 points. It took their expect wins from 10.6 to 8.8, and dropped them from 1st to 8th on the all-time rankings. More pressing, the loss knocked them down a peg in the standings, and only 1.5 games up in the chase for the final playoff bye.

2. Eagles, 8.2 (2) - Just when you start to doubt Tom Brady, he bukkakes in Pittsburgh’s face.

3. Omega NuckaSterrs, 7.8 (3) - The Sterrs have put up 3 straight weeks of 115 points. Definitely the most positively trending team at the moment.

4. Big Fuckin’ TDs, 6.8 (5) - Antonio Gates’ injured feet have curtailed an otherwise magical year. Once on pace for 23 touchdowns, Gates is merely hoping now to make it back to 100% before playoff time.

5. Floppy Vagina, 6.7 (4) - Peyton Hillis and Brandon Lloyd continue to put up numbers and fly under the radar.

6. South Beach Talent, 6.5 (7) - Kind of ridiculous to have a 9-1, 1st place team listed all the way down here, huh? Remember, 7 of their wins have come when scoring less than 93 points, the league average.

7. Omar-BronBangedYrBoy, 6.1 (6) - The unluckiest team in the league, thus far, as it pertains to scheduling. Twice they’ve lost when scoring over 120.

8. Johnny Bananas, 5.3 (9) - A huge win this past week kept their playoff chances alive.

9. The Expos, 4.6 (8) - A 27 point lead slipped away on Monday Night Football thanks to …

10. PoundInTheAssPrison, 4.1 (10) - Do not let the Pound win this weekend. DO. NOT. LET. The POUND. WIN. This weekend.

57

17. November 2010 by Big Dog.

In the midst of the worst season in franchise history, the Pound needed a win to stay alive in the playoff chase. Down 27 points heading into the Monday night game, it all rested on the left arm and two feet of one Mike Vick.

He delivered with a performance for the ages, scoring 6 touchdowns and racking up over 400 yards of total offense. That equates to 57 fantasy points, which is the Dub3’s single game scoring record.

It’s the third straight time the record has been set by a member of The Chronic Pound; in 2002, Shaun Alexander scored 53.5 points in Week 4 to keep the Pound’s season afloat, and in 2003, Clinton Portis scored 55 points in the first round of the playoffs to lead the Pound back from a large early-afternoon deficit.

Other players who have scored 50 points in the league’s history include Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes, LaDainian Tomlinson and Tom Brady.
