DFL 2016 Week 10: Are you freaking kidding me???

OK seriously, what in the hell happened this week?  It seem like the world got flipped, turned upside down....

No.. I think that it was crazier than that...

Yeah, that is much more like it.

So,let's get into it.  Remember how last week Dave, Terri, and I were all intensely battling for first place in Pick 'ems??  Well, Dave forgot to make ANY picks, I went 1-5, and somehow Terri pulled in 3-3.    But wait!  There's more!  Mike was the king this week with 4-2, which means that he's right back in it!  So, that leaves us like this:

Terri:  35
Phil:  34
Dave: 33
Mike:  31

Or to show this in picture form, this is kinda how we look coming down the stretch:

Ugly, ugly, ugly.  Exciting, sure.  But Ug-ly.

And if you get that reference, I take my hat off to you.

I'm not even going to beat around the bush.  We're going to get right into the games, the most important ones first:

McClennen vs Phil.  Mother-fucker.  That's all that I can say about this game.  With this win, McClennnen ends my 4 game winning streak and most importantly, keeps his razor thin advantage over me.  How thin?  Going into the game, I was 5-4, he was 4-5. Coming out of the game, we're both 5-5.  But he is ranked higher than me because his point total is a whopping 2.35 points higher than me.  What was the point difference in the game?  2.5 points.  DAMMIT.  Of course it's not like there was a controversial call that would have given me the game, should it have gone my way...

Yeah, that would be Gronk getting manhandled in the end zone.  Who's team is he on again?

This is what I've been reduced to, griping that the Pats aren't getting calls going their way...  What have I become??

Missy vs Kookie.  Wait... what?  Shouldn't this have been a blowout?  Why is this such an imporant game?  Well, it was pretty thorough beating, but not the way that you'd expect. Missy pulled in her 3rd win of the season, while Kookie took his second loss of the season.  What happened?  Well, Brady was shut down, Harris couldn't get things going against AZ, an Nick Folk...  Well, he missed his only scoring shot all day, which was a PAT.   Damn Kookie, when it rains it pours.  But, I think taht I speak for the rest of the league when I say:

'Specially Mike.  And speaking of Mike....

Mike vs Skoot.   Now, THIS was as bad of a beating as you'd expect with the #2 team going up against the ass last team.  Mike administered the beat down of the week because pretty much his whole team was firing on all cylinders.  As for Skoot... well, next yer will be better, right?

Just this season, man. New draft next year.  And just think of it!
You're going to be seeded awesome!

Patrick vs Crutch.  Well, despite Patirck's best efforts to sabotage himself, he pulled out a win here.  (I mean, really, Patrick?  Cutler?  What were you thinking?)  This means that Crutch's uncanny win streak is broken.  It was a pretty good run, but it's over now.  So, get back into the swing and start setting your line up, dude!

Unless you are playing me.  In which case you can piss right off...

Terri vs Melanie.  After this week, fully half the league has a 5-5-0 record.  With Terri's win over Melanie, she joins this illustrious group. See, three positions on Terri's team went wild (Big Ben, Santos, and KC D).  Meanwhile, only two on Melanie's team did (Bortles and Elliott).  And as insane s it sounds, even with Elliott scoring OVER 30, Melanie's other team members pissed their pants  JUST enough to cost her the game.   I'm pretty sure that this is the only team that I've seen this week to start Elliott and still lose.

Ben vs. Dave.  Not entirely sure what happened here, but I like it.  The game was predicted to go down to the wire, but Ben said "Fuck all that" and won with a comfortable 7 point margin.  Good for Ben, as it puts him in the 5-5-0 club, bad for Dave, as it put him within striking distance of the 5-5-0 club; Dave's record is currently 6-4.

I didn't really have an appropriate image for this game, and I've been sitting
on this gif for so long.  So...

Alrighty folks, we;re entering into the last month of the season.  Keep yourselves sharp and fight for those coveted 8 playoff spots.  Good luck! (Except to my competitors... and Im just seeing that my season ends playing first Kookie, then Mike.  Shit... that's definitely going to put a crimp in my playoff run.)
