When it comes to winning a fantasy football championship, we’ve got to take these bastards. Now, we could fight them using conventional fantasy advice, with heavy stats, and without my incredibly bad jokes, but that could take years and cost millions of titles. No, no no. No, in this case, I think we have to go all-out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part in the fantasy industry. And I’m just the guy to do it.

(07/03/25) Personal Note…… I usually try not to mix politics with fantasy football. It was never my intent. But recent events have left me with no alternative but to vent my frustration at the tools who did this. And, if you were one of the assholes that voted to cut Medicaid for millions of Americans, you’re not welcome here! For those who don’t know, Medicaid is the government health insurance plan for American citizens who can’t afford a private health insurance plan. Note- I could care less which party you’re affiliated with (I’m an Independent), I’m not a fan of democrats either. They have their own issues. But this one is crystal clear, republicans don’t give a shit about me or my family. They don’t care about the poor or middle class. They don’t care about you. And they sure as hell don’t represent me! This is NOT what they ran on nor what I voted for. If you’re one of the politicians who voted yes for the “Big Bullshit Bill”, you’re NO friend of mine. And in this case, it was the Republicans who voted for this crap! EVERY SINGLE MOTHER F-ING one of them!!! They’re the ones who control Congress. Simply put, it wouldn’t have passed without their votes. There’s right and there’s wrong. Denying health care to a bunch of American citizens, which leads to their suffering painful illnesses/cancers, and in many cases death, is pure F-ING EVIL!! And they did this so they and their rich friends can pay less taxes on their mansions and yachts!!! They can go F**K themselves!!!
I need Medicaid! I am a only child who is a caregiver for my elderly parent. There is no other affordable option for me and many others. And if you think it won’t happen to you, I’ve got news for you, it probably will. Someday many of you will be in my boat. Wait until you lose your job. Because when you lose your job, you lose your health insurance too! Good luck affording a COBRA health plan or private health insurance! Wait until it’s your turn to care for an elderly parent, when you can’t be two places at once (work and home helping them).
They didn’t go after the root cause of the problem- exorbitant health insurance premiums by health insurance companies, denial of coverage by those same companies, or expensive prescription drug costs by big pharmaceutical corporations. Nor did these same politicians cut their salaries or health insurance benefits that taxpayers pay for to help with the deficit. No, instead they went after vulnerable folks like me. Many of whom supported their campaigns such as President Trump’s based on what he said. When he was asked directly, a point blank question- are you going to cut Medicaid? He answered, “No. We will NOT touch Medicaid.” He lied!! They lied!!!! They’re lying chicken shits!!! They don’t have the guts to tell the truth on the campaign trail. They only care about saying whatever bullshit people will believe in order to get elected and then they abuse the power millions of Americans like myself granted them by hurting and killing Americans like myself. Only they do it wearing a suit and with a fountain pen, instead of a loaded gun- F-ING A**HOLES!!!
It’s important to note- The Big Bullshit Bill will go into effect after the 2026 Midterms. If it’s such a great bill, then why are they implementing it after the midterms? I’ll tell you why, because they know once people find out that they’ve been kicked off their government health care plan, those republican politicians won’t win their elections in 2026. They’re pure lying snakes!!! Every mother F-ING one of them!!!!
I’m not here to debate it. And I don’t want to discuss it on social media. Just go somewhere else. If you don’t care whether I live or die, then I don’t care about your F-ING fantasy football team!! As for the rest of you, I’m sorry I vented and veered off course. Hopefully, someday, some of you will understand why.

PS- If you find some of my fantasy football advice helpful or my terrible jokes make you smile, (once I get it set up) if you can donate whatever you think my advice was worth, it would be very much appreciated. I know not everyone can right now. Times are tough. Unlike other fantasy analysts, I don’t make any money from this. I’m not getting a salary and benefits like some of the bigger, well-known fantasy analysts are. This is purely a hobby. Writing helped me cope after my dad passed away. Unfortunately, I have bills too. And now it looks like I’m going to have a lot more of them thanks to the asshole republicans in Washington.
Well, just like that another fantasy season is in the books. They go by faster and faster as the years go on. The race for the 2024 fantasy champion is over. Whether it’s my sleepers that didn’t wake up, my busts that didn’t bust, my grammatical errors, or my endless supply of terrible jokes, I’ve had plenty of bloopers. So, let’s end this season with a look at the bloopers reel from one of the funniest movies of all-time, imo- Cannonball Run.
Keep checking back, I’ll try to find new ways to make this site even better, as if that’s even possible, haha! This is Mark Ringo (aka Captain Chaos) signing off, for now.
When I saw some of the recent exorbitant prices at Las Vegas, I was so ticked off, I decided to vent by writing. After venting some on Twitter (aka X), I wrote an article about how Las Vegas sucks now! It’s obviously not a fantasy football article, but if you used to like Vegas, like me, consider checking it out. Note- the operative words in that previous sentence are, used to. Just click the article below.
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on their Super Bowl championship! In honor of the Eagles victory, here’s a commercial from Ringo’s past. Chicagoans who lived there back in the 80’s know it well, haha!

***Note- I want to give out a shoutout and special thanks to Dave Clark. I went out to dinner with my mom the other night. Dave played music during our meal from both of his albums, “Rock City” and “Arizona”. We both thought he did a great job. He seems like a good dude. He’s originally from Cleveland, Ohio. Dave writes his own songs. Check him out at his website (see link below). If you’re in Arizona, Dave performs concerts throughout the Phoenix area or check him out on Spotify. Some of my favorite songs are…. ““Alisa”, “If You Only Knew”, and “Lost Without You”. Give him a shot.
