DFL 2016 Week 16 Semi-finals: This game is stupid and I hate it.

So, I'm not sure how many people are actually at their own places this week, but I know that I'm not.  Currently, I'm sitting in my sister's den, on a computer which I "am fixing" for my mother. So, I'm definitely on borrowed time.  That being said, this is going to be a hella short update this week, in stealth mode.


Really, only two games that people are interested in this week:

Patrick vs Mike.  Ouch.  HUGE upset here.  And the beat down of the week.  I don't have the numbers in front of me (again - on borrowed time here - AND I was just tapped to go to the grocery store because my hostess is making lasagna and doesn't have any ricotta cheese.  I mean, really.  What is this?  Amateur hour?  Sorry - digression...), but I'm pretty sure that Patrick has hands down the biggest beat downs this season.  PAtrick had 3 20+ point players and another 15 pointer to boot!  And one of the 20+ers was Carr, who didn't even play the whole game.  Which could spell trouble for Patrick going into championship week, without a QB...

This guy is still available, if you're interested.

Ben vs Phil.  Well, the upset bracket kept true to itself this week. Ben won against a higher seed.  Again.  And freaking Luck did it to me.  I can't be too upset considering that Wilson also went into crazy points mode, but still.  Nobody on my team could compete with Ben's thorough ass-kickery.  So, congrats, Ben on sliding up into the finals.  Well done, you silly sod.  



So, that means that we will be getting a Mike vs Phil rematch in week 17.  Sadly, it's in the consolation bracket.  Fighting for bronze is as exciting as fighting for golden when the pugilists are as bad ass as Mike and Phil, right?
Yeah, it's going to be an epic fight!
Oh, yeah, and I guess that Patrick will face off against Ben this week too.  So, good luck, fellas!

And since we're here, let's not forget about the pick'ems.  (You thought that I had forgotten about that, didn't you?)  Only two people making picks this week:  Phil (@ 2-2) and Mike (@ 1-3).  So, yay for upsets, right?

This leaves us with:

Player  Overall    Playoffs
Phil         53             5-3
Mike       45             4-4
Terry       43             0-0
Dave       43             1-3
....
Kookie     0              0-1

OK, Dave and Terri - Time to step up and win that bronze!  One more week to go. Let's end strong!

(And now, I'm being tapped to unload a car.  Some of them are presents, but I'm outta time.  See y'all next week.)
