Week 8 Recap

Ahhh....a festive football weekend all around. Big wins for the Hoos, the Fins, and the Chief make Jason a happy camper.

As far as our little league is concerned, things are pretty par for the course. I've retaken my rightful place atop the standings, there are a couple of bitter bald guys, and a typically despondent Strobby is bottom-runging it. Not to mention Mazzle is on track to lose in the playoffs. All is right with the world. Time to recap...

(Though FYI...it's a little cloudy here in Fairfax today. I'll try to get through the recap without a rain delay, but I can't make any promises. But I've checked the forecast, and I think I can get it in.)

Chief of Staff 112.74 Teeny Dong 59.08
Intimidation!!! Not only did your trusty Commish continue his run of psyching his opponent into a subpar performance, he also managed to put up his best score of the year. Thong heard the footsteps and couldn't manage double digits for any of his players in the United States games. Deuce had a nice game in the UK though. Perhaps Thong should move his entire team to London permanently. I hear Queen Elizabeth plays a mean Tight End. Thong on the Thames!

Enter The Falafel 89.99 Ladies of Bacon 86.19
MNF Barnburner #1. Thanks to both Reggie and Marvin doing jack squat against the powerful Titans Defense, Falafel comes up with the big upset over Mainerd. Maine, who now has the most total points scored in the league, falls to 3-5 on the season and 2 games behind Mazzle for a playoff spot. Over the weekend, Maine also cut himself shaving his head, drank some expired milk, fell down a flight of stairs, got kicked in the balls by a midget, and mistook a tranny hooker for a regular hooker. Not good times.

League of Morons 94.60 Achy Breaky Incest 85.05
Fun Fact #1: Robby was cursing me when Anthony Fassano caught that TD for the Dolphins on Sunday, as I've been goading him in this space for weeks to bench Fassano for Dallas Clark. But he was rewarded on Monday when Clark went nuts. Robby should take back every bad thing he said about me on Sunday. A formal apology will suffice. ... Alas, Clark's 18 points weren't enough to overcome the force that was MFrank's League of Morons. Even without Purple Jesus, the League put up a big 94 points and has moved into quasi-legitimate contention for a playoff spot. If only he wasn't working too much at the League of Doom to enjoy it. ... Fun Fact #2: Robby would have been better off starting Carmen Sandiego at Defense rather than San Diego. Where in the world was the San Diego D? Oh right, London.

Seek & Destroy 102.84 No Thanks 63.20
Bradley continues his impressive run up the standings with another impressive win against the unimpressive Steven G. Rappaport. Impressively, Bradley is doing all this without his first 3 draft picks - RMoss, LJ, and Maroney. This either tell us that draft picks are overrated...or Bradley is. Draw your own conclusions.

I Flunked Flank 72.14 Sausage Serf 66.02
MNF Barnburner #2. Forman goes down for a 2nd straight week, falling from first to third place, thanks to Rob Bi-ron-ass on Monday Night. At least he got put out of his misery quickly, as two first quarter figgies did him in. Also of note, is that Sean is still bald. Also also of note is that he's planning on making it a 3 game losing streak against the Commish this coming weekend. He doesn't want any of this shiz. Also also also of note, is that for a matchup of two top teams, this was another low scoring affair. Perhaps these two teams peaked too soon? Also.

Cheers!
