DFL 2016 Week 7: Don't call it a come back!!

Fucks yeah!!  Two in a row baby!

Winning feels so good that I'll even  take a Cowboys gif to start us off.

But you know what's even better!  Kookie lost!!  Yay!  There's blood in the water folks.  Time to go in for the kill.

The king is dead!  The king is dead! (OK, not dead yet, but vulnerable...)

So, where are we?  I'll tell you where we are... halfway to the playoffs and things are getting good!

Elimination League.... Well, ask and ye shall receive.  I asked for Marie to take a strike last week and she was the only one still standing who did take a strike.  I think that I need to take a page from my good friend Jay and go for the gusto:

Anyways, almost everyone had a different pick this week.  Ben and Terri were the only ones to pick the same team, and they went with Cincinnati.  As a reminder, everyone remaining has a strike now.  So, it's anyone's game.  Any given Sunday, folks.

Pick 'ems!  Yee-haw.  Things went well here.  Well... they went average, actually.  Mike, RA Dave and I all went 3-3.  The big news is that Terri went 0-6.  Which means....  Three way tie for first place!  RA Dave, Terri, and I now sit at 24, with Mike just around the corner at 18.  This is going to be a tight one this year.

Now, let's get to the most important thing that happened this week.  

Phil vs. Skoot.  Back to back victories for Phil, baby!  Ain't nobody gonna stop me now!!!!  Was it pretty?  No.  It was the lowest scoring game of the week.  Any stand outs?  Tucker kicked a good game, but that's.. that's about it.  Now it's time to dance!!

I'm assuming that Skoot is dancing with me.  Since he's in ass last place,
all that he has left is friends...

And speaking of WTF:

Crutch vs. Melanie.  Well, it's official. Melanie wasted her Crutch BYE this week.  Not sure how Crutch pulled out a victory when he clearly hasn't looked at fantasy football in like a month, but here we are.  Just to drive this point home, Crutch is now ranked higher than three people in the league:  Missy, Terri, and Skoot.  

I know that I used this gif before, but I'm just so glad to be out from under Crutch's shadow.

Buck up, Melanie.  At least someone in your house won this week....

Kookie vs. RA Dave.  O wait... nevermind.  Kookie lost this week too.  YAY FOR RA DAVE!!!!  And boy was it a close one!  RA Dave got out to an early lead, but Kookie just couldn't quite overcome it.  He came within 4 points of a perfect half season, but Dave said.  No no no.

Well done, Dave!  And with both Kookie and Melanie losing, it means that there was not a single win in Cleveland this week.  So, there's that.

Giraffe Battle.  Couple fights are always fun.  It was a long, slow simmer, but Mike was able to hold on to this victory by the skin of his teeth.  Even with 2 (count 'em! 2) of his starters going negative, Mike squeaked out this victory by a cool 3 points.  Lots of points left on the bench, and from Terri's Facebook post, it seems like they were watching this game all Sunday.  So, better luck next time!

Missy vs McClennnen.  Well, there were 7 players in this game who scored less than 6 points.  And there were also 3 who hit over 30.  So, this game was a little uneven....  But even without Charles doing anything on Sunday (yeah, he was on the field, but a garden gnome would have done just as well), Missy pulled in her second victory of the year.

Patrick vs. Ben.  Well, Ben did... decently this week.  The odd thing, of course being that he also administered the beat down of the week as well.  Patrick's team just kinda fell apart this week.  Didn't quite hit 40 points and there didn't seem to be any real mis-steps.  Just bad luck.  And bad auto-draft.  But mostly?  Weak Sauce, Patrick.  Weak.  Sauce.

We all just wish that Patrick would grow out that glorious beard...

So, now I get to head into the first week where the waiver wire might completely screw me.  Enjoy it, boyos!
