Week 8 Recap: "Bye Bye Bye"

A lot of low scores out there in Fantasy Land this week. The Bye week played havoc with almost everyone's starting lineups, as only 2 people even managed to score over 80 points. Let's break it down, Big Willie Style:

Sergeant at Arms: 80 Stabbed in the Crotch: 74
What happens when the best 2-5 team in history meets the worst 5-2 team in history? The worst 5-2 team gets 39 frickin points from his kicker and defense to take a big lead. And for the third straight week, the 2-5 team sweats things out through the fourth quarter on Monday night and is tired as balls on Tuesday morning. But the 2-5 (now 3-5) team prevails, despite 20 points from "The Law Firm" on the bench. And the 5-2 team (now 5-3) begins his inevitable autumnal fall from fantasy relevance.

Lemon Fury: 70 Steve's Crap Team: 65
Here's your 2nd worst 5-2 (now 6-2) team! My god, how is this guy in 1st place? John Kitna, really? Kicker and Defense is the secret weapon of the bad team, however, and he got 31 points from his. Steve, meanwhile, has given up on his season for about the 7th time, at least until next Sunday at 1:00, when he'll be glued to his TV/PC like the rest of us addicts. "False hope until mathematically eliminated" - that should be the motto of the league.

Disposable: 114 Despicable:61
Bradley puts up the WOW score of the week, getting huge numbers from the Jacksonville passing offense, the Detroit defense, and the Chas Henry kicking game. (I only made up one of those!) It's safe to chalk this up to a Falafel-sized fluke though, as Travis has officially passed me as the hardest luck loser in the league. With more total points than 1, 2, or 3 in the standings, Falafel - in theory- deserves much better than dead last place. So he's pretty much a zombie at this points - pretty much dead and hungry for brains.

Avat-hong: 78 Foo Jew: 75
Both of these teams are 4-4, but I know which one I'd rather have today. And which one I'd rather have if it was 2007.

Glass of Bacon: 66 Ryan Grant's Bald Head: 44
Is Maine's team actually any good? I'm really asking here. I have no idea. I mean, they won this week, they're 5-3 and in 2nd place, and their total points is aight....but....they started Chad Henne, Darren Sproles, and Eddie Royal. This season is really fookin with my head, man. Up is down, left is right, Steve is Robby, Win is Fail, Fail is Win... I...just...don't...know.....
