The Domination of the Week: Jake 163.38 -- 109.22 Ethan
Futility of the Week: DJ for his weak ass "sparkle croch" diss.
!!! 50 Point Win Alert !!!
Yet another 50 point win has graced this league with its presence. Jake had a savage, rabid, jerk-off spree on Ethan's team, beating him by 54 points. Ethan's team will be known as Lanky String Bean Lookin Bitchass or LSBLB for this week.
We nearly had another double 50 point win alert this week but Jeff just narrowly avoided a 50 point loss to as Heath got his immediate revenge from the loss to Jeff last week.
The rest of week 7 featured a win by Barr, who now finds himself once again atop the standings, over Brian. Barr was the only one of the top four to win, as DJ and Derek also lost to Stacey and Evan, respectively.
The top four spots of the league remain in a yo-yo state. Barr's ascension to the top coincides with Brian and Derek both falling. Evan and Jake both propelled themselves up in the standings while riding 2 game win streaks which are the best in the league. Ethan and Brian both hold the dishonorable distinction of having the worst losing streak in the league at 2 games in a row. After the previous two season saw massive win and loss streaks by various contenders, this season is far from the same. Ethan and Jeff, who are both 2-5 are only 3 games behind Barr in first place at 5-2. The rest of the league is wither 4-3 or 3-4. Competition is as fierce as its ever been this season.
The matchup of week 8 will be Derek vs DJ in a battle of two 4-3 playoff contenders.
Standings:
1. Barr (5-3) ↑1
2. Derek (4-3) ↓1
3. Evan (4-3) ↑2
4. Brian (4-3) ↓1
5. DJ (4-3) ↓1
6. Heath (4-3)
7. Jake (3-4) ↑2
8. Stacey (3-4)
9. Jeff (2-5) ↓2
10. Ethan (2-5)
This blog will serve as our history book for all things domination league.

Week 6
The Domination of the Week: Jeff 156.66 -- 74.00 Heath
Futility of the Week: Brian for barely surpassing 100 points in a losing effort to DJ
Rivalry week is in the books and Jeff, Derek, DJ, Jake, and Evan all experienced sweet victory. Jake's win against Barr means Barr better bust out the wallet for that shipping label for the umbrella he will ship back to Jake. The weekend games were prefaced by a frenzy of trade action after Heath traded the farm in David Johnson for fantasy pocket change to the already stacked East Dillon Lions. In an attempt to keep pace, Brian traded his 2017 first round draft pick to Jeff for Demarco Murray, but it was little help at least immediately. Jeff also acquired an additional second round 2017 pick from Heath for Julian Edelman. And in the spirit of fantasy football, he still managed to secure a very convincing victory and rack up the 2nd most points of the week despite trading away two of his top players for next to no immediate returns.
With Derek's and DJ's wins, and losses by Brian and Barr, the top of the standings come together as all four hold 4-2 records. Evan and Heath both have 3-3 records while the rest of the league is rounded out by 2-4 records. This apparent parity of the league figures to disperse as the talent difference of teams looks as uneven as its ever been. To make matters worse for the competition at the top of the league, Barr suffered some potentially crippling injuries this week with Eddie Lacy and Big Ben, an injury that is sure to also impact Brian's team with Antonio Brown. It appears as if this season is Derek's to lose, despite the unpredictable nature of the sport itself.
The Thursday game saw the Packers win easily against the Bears and a few teams had players in that matchup. The most notable performance was by Davante Adams, who sits comfortably on the waiver wire. Cobb turned in the next best performance for Heath who is seeking redemption this week. Montgomery also put up solid numbers and exceeded his projection, however, Howard, Jeffery, Nelson, and Meredith all put in sub-par performances.
Week 7 will get us over the hump of the season and a week closer to the playoffs. The matchup of the week is 2nd place Barr vs 3rd place Brian as each cling to the upper tier of the league.
Standings:
1. Derek (4-2) ↑3
2. Barr (4-2)
3. Brian (4-2) ↓2
4. DJ (4-2)
5. Evan (3-3) ↑1
6. Heath (3-3) ↓1
7. Jeff (2-4) ↑2
8. Stacey (2-4) ↓1
9. Jake (2-4) ↑1

Week 5
The Domination of the Week: Ethan 176.36 -- 134.78 Derek
Futility of the Week: DJ who lost in the championship rematch against Heath.
One week after doling out a 50+ point beating and being the domination of the week, Derek finds himself on the wrong side of the domination of the week. Ethan, who was sitting firmly in last place all season, blew the doors off the matchup and put up the highest point total of the week as well as the biggest win margin. The stay at the top of the league this season has proved to be fleeting as Derek now knows. Little hype surrounded the championship rematch of Heath vs DJ but it ended up being the closest one. In the end Heath snagged the victory with a win on Monday night and a win margin reminiscent of last years title game. Stacey secured a relatively unexciting win over Jake. Both Heath and Stacey snap their 2 game losing streaks with their wins this week. Jeff's team struggled mightily this week, barely surpassing 100 points in a loss to Barr. Both Jeff and Jake are owners of two game losing streaks. Barr moves to 4-1 with his win and Brian, with his win over Evan, does the same. With his third straight win, Brian climbs into 1st place and Barr follows into 2nd as Derek falls to 3rd with his loss. DJ remains firmly in 4th place and Heath yo-yos back up to 5th. Evan falls to 6th while Stacey hops up to 7th. Ethan climbs two spots to 8th while Jeff falls to 9th and Jake to 10th.
Week 6 is rivalry week so there is no matchup of the week. Or every matchup is the matchup of the week. Brian and DJ face off, the newlywed battle part 2 will also take place as Stacey looks for revenge. Jake and Barr also have a rematch after Barr got the best of the umbrella matchup. Jeff and Heath will battle as hopefully some of the draft day tension has carried over between the two. The final matchup is the Makin matchup, Evan vs Ethan.
Week 6, of all weeks, will serve as a reminder that in The Domination League defeat is not conceded. Defeat is forced down the throat of either you or your adversary and victory is plundered while the loser gasps for air. Each of us begins the week with an immense pile of hope 10 roster spots tall, and each week 5 of us watch that pile of hope burn to the ground like dry tinder. In each matchup there is the final, inevitable moment; just after victory has been snatched, yet just before hope swells again for the following week. In that moment is where pure domination lives, and only one will experience it, while suffocating defeat is thrown over the other like a blanket made of lead. Revel in the hope while it lasts and pray to the gods of fantasy football that you are the one who tastes the sweet flavors of pure domination.
Standings:
1. Brian (4-1) ↑1
2. Barr (4-1) ↑1
3. Derek (3-2) ↓2

Week 4
The Domination of the Week: Derek 216.62 -- 155.88 Jeff
Futility of the Week: Jeff who would've won had he not played the freight train that was Derek's team.
!!! Double 50 Point Win Alert !!!
For the second week in a row we have a double 50 point win alert, and for the second week in a row one of the winners is Derek. After racking up 50 on Stacey last week, his team absolutely exploded for 216 points against Jeff, who put up the second highest points this week in a futile effort. Derek joins the 200 point club as only its 2nd member. The other 50 point win was Brian over Jake. This one had more to do with Jake struggling mightily than anything else as he scored a measly 79 points. Jeff's team for the week will now be known as "Dimple-Faced Dipshit" and Jakes will be known as "Ron Weasley Taint".
Though there were two 50 point wins, the league was on high alert going into the Monday night game as two other teams were down by 50. Stacey narrowly avoided having her name changed again, which is good for her considering she hasn't changed her name from last week's domination. In the end Ethan stopped his 3 game skid and found his first win by beating Stacey by 44. It's worth noting that only Jake would have also lost to Ethan this week. The other 50 point win watch was for Evan and Heath's matchup. Kyle Rudolph erased all hope for Evan's as he caught a TD pass early in the game. Evan gets the win but not the name change. Its interesting to note that both Heath and Stacey, although getting small victories by not losing by 50, are on 2-game losing streaks. The matchup of the week was a relatively close game, undefeated Barr vs DJ ended in DJ getting the win and handing Barr his first loss. No more zeros remain in anyone's win-loss column.
With his third straight win and Barr's loss, Derek jumps up into first place and Brian follows right behind him into 2nd, while Barr falls to 3rd. DJ comes in at 4th or last place of the 3-1 teams. Two 2-2 teams (fun to say) come next; Evan climbs one spot to 5th place and Heath slips into 6th. The final four spots are owned by 1-3 teams. Despite a loss, Jeff climbs one spot into 7th while Stacey falls to 8th. Jake and Ethan round out the final 2 as it has been since week 1.
The matchup of week 5 is 1st vs last; Derek vs Ethan.
Standings:
1. Derek (3-1) ↑1
2. Brian (3-1) ↑1
3. Barr (3-1) ↓2
4. DJ (3-1)
5. Evan (2-2) ↑1
6. Heath (2-2) ↓1
7. Jeff (1-3) ↑1
8. Stacey (1-3) ↓1
9. Jake (1-3)
