It's only Monday, but since our final is pretty much set and I don't feel like actually starting my work-week yet, let's see what went down in the Semis...
Sausage (1 Seed) vs. Pretzels (4 Seed)
So as expected, Tom Brady didn't do much against Denver and Le'Veon Bell came back down to Earth. Plus, it would have been a better idea to start Peter Scolari on Defense instead of Minnesota. So it only stood to reason that Sean would be in huge trouble this week. But... Big BUT. But Sean had the wherewithal to start Ty Montgomory and it paid off handsomely to the tune of 29.30 points. And Devonta Freeman went nuts with his biggest game of the year. Those two guys gave Sean nearly half of his points and unless Pierre Garcon gets negative points tonight, The Sausage Party King of Chicago is moving onto the finals. Mike Frank didn't quite have enough gas in the tank, with Carlos Hyde, Davante Adams, and Mike Evans all putting up disappointing performances. Mike also started somebody named Kenneth Farrow, who is his family's accountant and he owed a favor.
Falafel (2 Seed) vs. Mazzle (3 Seed)
Important note: if you google Falafel Mazzle, the top 5 results are this blog. That's a lot of history between these two bitter rivals. But at the end of the day, Travis's team consisted of Zeke Elliot, a lively but decomposing Frank Gore, and a bunch of other guys. That's not enough to win the Chicken Bone Cup, even this year and even if he was smart enough to start Golden Tate. Just. Not. Enough. Bradley, on the other hand, had the more balanced consistent team and had just enough of them pop this week to outscore the Falafel Menace by double digits and move onto the finals. It wasn't pretty, but it jot the job done.
Finals Preview - BONE?!
So it comes down to this - the two nicest guys in the league (sorry Rich and Mike Frank) battling it out for the Chicken Bone Championship. I want some trash talk dammit! Sean has to be considered the prohibitive favorite given his high ceiling players and projected matchups. But will he manage not to screw the pooch and start the right guys? Can he pick up more of a Tom Hanks-type to play defense? It should be interesting. Bradley definitely has the horses to give him a challenge. My prediction: Pain.
Good luck guys - you're gonna need it!!
- The Commish
