I know that I usually just skip the elimination league once a winner is crowned, but check this out:
OK, back on track... where were we? O, that's right... Pick 'ems! Looks like we've only got 4 people left still picking week to week. This week, RA Dave and Ben took the top spots at 4-2. Meanwhile, Phil and Mike both broke even at 3-3. So, that means that Phil is barely hanging on up top at 34 picks, with Ben right on his heels at 32. RA Dave a Mike are now tied at 29. Shifting down a little, we've got a tight race for 5th place: Crutch (at 26), Skoot (at 25), and Melanie (at 23). Only 5 more games left in the regular season. Looks like the pick 'ems are going to come down to the wire again.
Now, for the best of the best: The DFL itself. So, let's get to it!
Missy vs. Kookie. ooh ooh ooh.. Looks like Missy *barely* got to 80 points this week! She hasn't scored this low since week 2. So, surely her winning streak comes to an end here. Right, Kookie?? Sadly, no. Missy rolls on. Kookie, I think that Sir Chapman speaks for all of us:
Special shout out to Missy (pun fully intended): Congrats on breaking your vow of silence in the smack talk this week. I absolutely hope that we'll be hearing a cuss one of these days...
RA Dave vs McClennen. Well, RA Dave resoundingly laid the smack down of the week this week. Somehow, the DEFs in the game racked up 35+ points. But really, the big difference was that Brady keeps showing his old form. Almost 30 points, and that's how you bring the hammer down.
Crutch vs Skoot. Yeah, this was the other big game of the week. In case you missed it, Crutch pciked up Tannehill, Robinson, and Hill on Friday, just to fill in players who were hurt.You might be asking who they are. That would be the guys who scored 27, 13, and 23 points respectively. Just to make sure that we got this, let me say that again. Crutch picked up about 65 points on Friday. That's just... good on ya, sir!
Melanie vs Mike. So, we go from the high to the low... Although Melanie's D did go negative, Mike upped the ante and has his QB go *really* negative. Like, just a hair away from double digit negative. Coupling that with only one player hitting double digits, just make this a complete pain fest for Mike. So, now,we can all call Melanie by her new nickname: Pinhead. (That's like Pinhead from Hellraiser, not pinhead from Bill O'Reilly. Man, this election season needs to get out of my head.)
Phil vs. Patrick. And now we come to the closest game of the week. This game come down to Monday night: Hilton vs. Bradshaw. Lucky for me, Hilton stepped up and into the endzone to just barely pull the V to my side.
Ben vs. Terri. Something must have been in the water at the G house this last weekend. Terri's QB went negative as well. Luckily, the rest of her team stepped up, to prevent an all out brutalization, but not enough to keep Ben firmly entrenched in 2nd place. Oh, fun note about this game as well. Both teams hit line up Nirvana because of the 6 players on the bench, 5 of them were on BYE and the other was out.
And that's about it. Oh wait.. something broke today... Hey, that's right! AP pleaded to charges, which means that Goodell might lift his suspension. So, with all of the rest that he's been getting, I'll have to keep my eyes firmly fixed on the waiver wire for...
WTF? Oh, Skoot snagged him up. At noon today. In this league. With *3* bench slots. While the BYE weeks are still ravaging the line ups like reavers. But Skoot thinks that he'll be worth the prospecting. Now, I hope that AP stays out of the league for at least the rest of the season for a reason beyond the fact that he's a horrible person: Just to screw with Skoot. Gollum tell Skoot how we feel about him:
