Week 14 Recap

Howdy folks,

So, let me get this straight.... I'm in the playoffs again, but the other three people in with me are Mike Frank, Sean, and Steve?  That can't be right.  If you had that four-team parlay in August, you should have spent the season in Vegas.  It's really ridiculous!  Some more thoughts...

  • Either I'll win back-to-back championships or there will be a first time winner.  I really couldn't ask for anything better.  (Well, except for not having an ass-broken team....)
  • There's a 75% chance the winner this year will hail from Fairfax, VA.  And when you factor in that Steve is the other participant, that figure goes up to 99%.
  • It was mostly meaningless, but Sean had monster games from Julio Jones and Aaron Rodgers last night to come all the way back against Thong.  As a result, Sean ended up with a 1st place,  10-win season; and Thong officially reclaimed the 7-7 title belt from Mike Frank.
  • Speaking of which, all four playoff teams finished with a winning record, with no 7-7 team slipping in.
  • Shit-Stained Falafel finished in about the most horrible fashion imaginable.  On top of the world going into Thanksgiving and getting Josh Gordon back, he then:
    • Watched Josh Gordon be useless
    • Suffered two consecutive losses
    • Lost in the deciding game to Steve (who won thanks to good games from Lions Matthew Stafford and Golden Tate!)
    • Finished 7-7, in 7th place.
    • Drank heavily
  • In the deciding game of their season, BOTH Steve and Falafel started Defenses that scored -4 points.  That's negative 4!  Neither one of them deserved to make the playoffs after that piece of managing...
  • Nothing left to say about Auction Bitch Mike Cole, Bitter Bradley, Oblivious Robby, or Moved-On Maine.
  • Stay tuned this week for a playoff preview on the off-chance that someone else decides to write one.  I'll be too busy scouring the waiver wire for warm bodies.
