Howdy Folks,
Looking for a distraction today, so it seems like a good time for a little recap on the last couple weeks and the state of the league in general. Let's get to it, in no particular order, news and notes style (AKA barely coherent rambling-style):
- Previously on The Chicken Bone Recap, Maine was honored with the #1 spot in the Power Rankings. How has that been working out for him? Not good, Bob. Not good, at all. He's dropped two in a row and fallen out of playoff position. This week, with duds from Cooper, Swift, Waller and the GB Defense, he couldn't even break 100 against Mr. Sausage. Sean is loving life with the Steelers at 7-0 and his fantasy team in third place. Too bad he's still bald. #zing
- Speaking of the Sausage King, this is - by-far - the news story of the week and is fantastic: Vladimir Marugov murder: Russian 'Sausage King' killed in sauna with a crossbow. Sean is either taking out his competition or better watch his back.
- Mazzle and Your Trusty Commish engaged in an epic matchup for the ages this past weekend, where I dominated him to the tune of 78-67. I clearly deserve to be in first place after that impressive double digit win. #dominus
- As a side note, anyone interested in trading an egg salad sandwich for George Kittle? Asking for a friend. I've been told by reliable sources, but still to be confirmed, that my friend will also take tuna fish.
- I'm a week late on this, but congrats to Robby for winning the first Strobby Bowl of the Year. He snapped a screw-to-scrotum painful 4 game losing streak against Steve, dating back to the 2018 season. #research With 2 straight wins, Robby is not only off the pace for Auction Bitch, but he's now in striking distance for a playoff spot. It must be fun for him to own Rodgers and Adams...that seems like a good time. It almost makes up for having two Dolphins in his starting lineup.
- Speaking of a good time and speaking of the Dolphins, man, that win over the Rams was a good time!!! Tua was a little shaky in his first start, but with all the crazy big plays by the Defense, he didn't have to do much. So who could really tell anything except that Jared Goff will be having nightmares about Brian Flores for the rest of his life. Given the pressure he was under on Sunday, I would have rather been any other Jared than him. That's right...ANY other Jared. #fivedollarfootlong
- Seems like all the complaining my brother has been doing this season has paid off, as he's won two in a row and now sits in 4th place. Let that be a lesson to the kids out there - complaining works! He just needs 47 points out of Dalvin Cook every week, and he's in great shape.
- Meanwhile, the latest victim of Mike Cole's KarmaComplaineon ways this past weekend was the Falafel Fantasy Team Experience. Travis is in a free fall right now, having lost 3 in a row without breaking 100 points in that time. You can't win spades with 4s and 7s and you can't win at fantasy if you don't score 100 points. #fact
- Thong is the best team in the league right now. There I said it. #letthongcook
- Michael Seth Frank is also in this league. Though you wouldn't really know it with the 79 points he put up last weekend. You just can't win scoring 79 points! Mike has one of those teams you'd call low floor, low ceiling. (Side Note: "Low Floor, Low Ceiling" is also how one might describe Travis's mom's saggy vagina. You're Welcome.)
Cheers,
- The Commish
