So... I'll see you guys in the post season? :-)
Let's take a look at the elimination league. Three strikes handed out this week. The Eagles screwed both Phil and Missy this week. Cuz why not? I mean, why would *anyone* have faith in anything coming out of Philly. The third strike goes to Patrick for not actually making a pick this week. Let's see what Pepper thinks of it:
Pick 'ems... Well, The Gs earned top marks this week, both going 5-1. And they both went 4-2 last week. I'm not saying that this is collusion, but if *this* is what you've decided to collude on... Shame. At least collude on something that matters. Like, the actual league. :) Phil and Ben both pulled down 4-2 this week, while Crutch pulled up the rear with 3-3. So, we've got a three way tie for first going on here. Phil and the Gs. (Which, BTW, sounds like a crappy Fox Comedy. Gs - you interested in knocking out a script and selling it to Fox? Have your people call my people.)
Now, the league.Looks like we've still got three undefeated (congrats to rookie McClennen and o so close to the playoffs last year Terri), and three rounding out the bottom: Ben, Kookie, and RA Dave. Loads of time to make a come back though. Also, loads of time for the top teams to completely implode. Well, except for me. I'm pretty sure that my team is getting its complete crumble long around week 6.
Aaaand, it's time for the awards!
Aaaand, it's time for the awards!
Skoot gets the "See guys? I told you so!" ceremonial dagger through the chest award. His week 1 pick up of Julius Thomas really paid off. Good for you! Sadly, the rest of his team just went on strike this week. Even Drew Brees. In his defense though, Brees was going up a huge defen- What? The Saints were playing Tampa Bay? Geez, Skoot, I think that you might be cursed.
Mike G pulls in the "I've got so many QBs, I don't know what to do!" award, presented by Hubris Enterprises. 22 points for his started (RG3) and 28 points for the back up (Vick). Nope, nothing can possibly go wrong here! (Editor's note: Dude, trade away one of those QBs for a RB/TE/WR.... strike while the iron is hot!)
The "Hindsight is always 20/20" award goes to Melanie. She she took a loss this week, but really, there's nothing to worry about as there wasn't really much that she could have done to turn things around this week anyways...
The "I spit on your puny kickers" WWE belt goes to Terri this week. Has a questionable kicker, and a top shelf kicker and starts the questionable one. But here's the thing. TERRI NEEDS NO KICKER!!!
The "Stupid partial points!" award goes to both Patrick and Missy this week. The game ended in less than a point difference in the scores. The could have both walked away with a tie. But Patrick kicked Missy in the what nots said "I'll get you a tie for Mother's Day" and walked away with the victory.
Patrick gets no other award this week. He does get the lesson never to trust anything out of the Big Apple however. His DEF lost him a point and a quarter, which made the game that much closer. It's really a shitty feeling to know that literally NOBODY could have served you better than your starter. And I just want to rub this in just a bit. It would only have been more delicious if they had gotten one less INT, and cost him the game.
Missy gets the "I stand by Miami" award for starting Brian Hartline instead of James Jones. GB O > Miami O. Every time.
Ben earned himself the shame of not hiring a psychic to help him out this week. I mean, who could have foreseen that Sam "Look Mom, I'm in the NFL!" Bradford would put up a 24 point game??? and move on for this one....
McClennen on the other hand get the "I was told there'd be cake" serving spatula. Drafted Brady. Solid Choice. Never has a bad game. Good system they have up there in New England. What has Brady done so far? Badly 17 points. Lucky for McClennen, the rest of his team is really stepping up. So, He goes on to stay undefeated...
Kookie pulls in "But I followed Phil's advice!" totem. Almost 31 points from his kicker and DEF combined. Though I do say DEF and Kickers win games, I'm going to throw a caveat on there that the rest of the team needs to show up too.
Crutch .... well not much to say about Crutch at the moment.... Except that Tony Romo won him the game and was rewarded by being benched for Phil Rivers. I hope that Rivers can keep you happy Crutch.
An that's about all the games for this we- O right. My game.
RA Dave vs me. I delivered the beat down of the week by almost 74 points. Just to be sure that we're on the same page, the margin of victory in this game was more than 4 teams put up total this week. Everything just kinda fell into place for me this week. So, Hurray Phil!
(And yes, I'm fully aware that if this was a behind the music based on my fantasy season, now would be the point that the announcer says "Everything was riding high, until tragedy struck." So, I would like to personally apologize to the Rodgers family for the horrible, horrible fate that is awaiting your QB son.)
For the record. Brees and co. had to play in Tampa after a big thunderstorm, field soaked. so yes, they went with the run
ReplyDeleteShhh, Skoot. If you keep saying stuff like that, people will figure out that I still don't really know what I'm talking about. :)
