Howdy folks,
So this happened…
Bacon v. Falafel
Good lord, that was a lot of playoff points scored by Travis. More points than UVA’s basketball team has
scored in all games combined this season.
More points than a motherfuckin porcupine! In short, the most points scored in a playoff
game in the long history of the league.
Travis not only had his studs play like studs, but he also made almost all
the right manager moves – benching Gordon, picking up Anthony Miller and starting
him, playing the Buffalo Defense, etc.
(He could have played Samuel over Boyd for another 9 points, but that’s
nitpicking.)
Maine pretty much maxed out his roster. It was a good run. Sure it hurt to lose Cook at halftime and
Diggs/Jacobs didn’t do much. But there
was no keeping up with Travis on this day.
It’s onto the Finals for Falafel, where he doesn’t stand a
chance. Really. He blew his wad in the semis, and the last
thing you want is to get all excited and only have a semi to show for it. I predict a disaster for him - a week of
agonizing over starting lineup decisions, only to make all the wrong choices.
Mazzle v. Sausage
In the undercard matchup, it was Brad who gutted out a tough
win over Sean. Saquon Barkley finally
paid dividends for him, exactly as planned (that trade for Thomas turned out to
be a rare win-win). Throw in a big game
out of Kelce, a make- it-count single long TD catch from Golden Tate, and 3-TD
game from Ryan Effing Tannehill of all people…and it all adds up to 132 points and
a huge playoff win. (Sure he left Kenyon Drake and his 39 points on
the bench, but bygones...)
Meanwhile, when Sean spent Sunday morning deciding between
starting Cohen or Michel, he already pretty much already was dead in the
water. His loss guarantees that the
Chicken Bone Cup will leave Fairfax, Virginia for the first time in 6(!)
years. Travel well Cup, we shall miss
thee!!!
So it’s onto the finals for Bradley “Chuck”
Mazzlemuzzle. He might be doing it with
smoke and mirrors, but he’s our only hope.
Jean Shorts Update
I crushed Thong and I'll play someone named Mike for the shorts. That's all the recap that these games deserve.
Coming later this week…a finals preview, year-end awards,
your mom.
Cheers,
The Commish
