Week 11 Recap

Gobble gobble motherfuckers!

Holy crap!  That was some weekend of football action.  Even Yahoo was hungover this morning.  It was so intense that Mike Frank needed to use his safe-word twice (Weirdly, his safe-word is “Falafel”.)   Here are some quick hit recaps of the headlines that mattered…

Trophy Name Change?
Are we going to need to change the name of our beloved champion’s award to the Alex Smith Memorial Trophy?  Man, I was watching that live and it was gruesome.  I’m not even going to post a picture.  And that it happened 33 years to the day of the Theismann injury with an exact same 23-21 final score is nutso.


Dolphins Don’t Lose
Somehow the Dolphins managed not to lose over the weekend.  They didn’t start Brock Oswieler, didn’t turn the ball over once, didn’t have anyone on the Offensive Line injured, and didn’t even have anyone arrested.  It was a great weekend for Fins football!!  Feel the excitement!


Monday Night Madness
That Rams/Chiefs game last night was incredible.

Steve needed a halfway decent night from Mahomes/Hunt/Kelce to overtake Mike Frank and his lame political jokes, and boy howdy did they ever deliver to the tune of 78 combined points.  Mike Frank’s winning streak comes to an end, but barring a major losing streak, both him and Steve look playoff bound at 7-4.

Meanwhile, Falafel and Sausage were duking it out on the Rams’ offensive possessions.  It was looking close there early in the 4th quarter when Zeurlien kicked a field goal for Sausage and Goff lost a fumble for Falafel.  But the Rams just kept scoring and Falafel put the baby to bed.  (Sean even started all the right players for a change.)  Falafel is cruising into the playoffs, likely as the #1 seed and with a stacked roster.  I just can’t see anyone beating him this season.

Travis – can you please send me your address so I can beat the holiday rush and mail you the Alex Smith Cup this week?  I mean, it’s a done deal.  No way you can lose with a roster this good.  Nope.  No way.


In the Too Little Too Late Department
Maine wins his second in a row and his team is suddenly awesome.  Thong has won his last 3 of 5 games and is enjoying playing spoiler.  At least they won’t have to be Auction Bitch.


In the Too Little Too Little Department

The Battle For 4th Place
Sausage, Mazzle, and Commish are in a 3-way tie at 6-5 with 3 weeks to go. Mazzle has a big edge on total points, but there’s lots of season left.  Buckle up your Pilgrim hats folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.


That’s all I got for y’all.  I’m spent after staying up for the 54-51 insanity last night.   I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday, that Virginia kicks the crap out of Virginia Tech, and that your Turkey wishbones snap like…well, you know…


Peace, Love, and Turkey Grease,
