About Us

 Well hey there, Internet!

You may have just stumbled across this page by accident and are wondering, "What the heck is this?" The short answer is that this is a joke that's gotten out of hand. The long answer is below.

In the year 2021, a bunch of old friends got together and said, "Hey, let's do a fantasy football league this year!" The commissioner of that league (yours truly) had been watching way too much Ted Lasso, and while hung up trying to think of a name for the nascent league, chose the name Barbecue Sauce as a nod to the show. Hence, the league called Barbecue Sauce was born.

After week one of the 2021 season, the commish thought, "Wouldn't it be funny to write weekly recaps of the fantasy football action in the voice of Ted Lasso?" Having oodles of free time and energy, that's what happened. Since then, weekly recaps were posted to the ESPN fantasy message board, which generally seemed to be enjoyed by the players. 

The 2022 season rolled around and the commish went to the league history to try to find all of the hours of work that had gone into the previous weekly recaps, only to find that they had been lost to the ether of the Internet. Upon vote of the league, the blog was set up to capture the illustrious league history in a way that would stand the test of time and ESPN's data policies. This brings us to where we are now, with a whole separate website to supplement the league shenanigans. 

So there you have it, the life and times of Barbecue Sauce. I hope you've enjoyed your stay in our little corner of the Internet. And if you haven't, that's fine, too! Just click away, leave this place but a distant memory of that one time you spent three minutes reading something you wish you hadn't. Everything will be okay in the end.

Hugs & Kisses,

The Commish

Weeks 5 & 6 Recap

 Hey, everybody! Long time, no see! Boy I tell you what, sometimes the time just gets away from you, and that's what's certainly happened over the past couple of weeks. We have gotten through two full weeks of fantasy football, and where has your stalwart commish been? I wish I could say that it's because I was out there just having too much fun and time was just flying, but the reality of the situation was... I was caught up doing normal adult life stuff and I forgot. I do apologize to y'all. So instead of our normal recap of the match ups, let's go through what all you fine team managers have been up to over the past couple of weeks! AdamBlowsGoats-HaveProof had both the thrill of victory and the agony of players on bye week over the past couple of weeks. Derrick Henry was the star of week 5 for ABG-HP and the W they brought home that week, rushing for over 100 yards with a couple of receptions for icing on the cake. Week 6 was a bit of a scramble between the bye ...

Week 4 Recap

 Howdy, folks! Well, as y'all may have noticed, week four really flew by, so much so that it's pretty much week five now! Sorry about that, time got away from us here at good ol' Barbecue Sauce HQ. But it was a thrilling week of football that handed out more Butterfingers than Halloween night! By which I mean there were a lot of bounce-off-the-hands drops... Anyway, there were some big booms in the match up this week so let's get into it! PasswordIsTaco's illustrious win streak came to an end this week against Biscuits With The Boss, who exploded with a total of 163.16 points. BWTB's wide receiver duo of Justin Jefferson and Mike Evans came up with 30+ points each, locking in both the victory and the highest total of the league this week. TACO's own dynamic duo of Deebo Samuels and Christian McCaffrey rocketed up over 20 points each, but it was not enough to stop BWTB from cashing in on his payday. Well done to you both! Panic And Snooze pulled out the W ove...

Week 1 Recap

 Hello again, all you wonderful people!  That crisp fall chill is in the year, and that can only mean one thing - NFL football is back! As predictable and ubiquitous as pumpkin spice everything, the new season is everywhere, folks. Week one featured grudge matches of quarterbacks playing their former teams, a slip-n-slide at Soldier Field, and more shanked kicks than you can shake a stick at. I don't know about y'all out there, but over here at Barbecue Sauce HQ, it just feels good to be home. As for the match-ups, we had not one, but two  teams coming out strong with over 170 total points by the time the ballots were counted Monday night. Biscuits With The Boss is our esteemed league points leader, with a ludicrous display of Justin Jefferson and 177.02 points for a victory over the newly renamed Panic and Snooze. Following closely behind is our defending league champion Rubber City Roughnecks with a whopping 174.5 points led by Saquon Barkley, taking the W over the some...
