Week 2 Recap

 Howdy folks!


A day late, and a dollar short, but here's the fraction-less Week 2 recap...


Commish 145 - Falafel 96

Falafel's season has started the same way his mom likes it in bed - Rough!   Also, 0 and 2?  Josh Allen has regressed, George Kittle has looked ordinary, and Joe Mixon's foot is hanging by a loose tendon.  

Meanwhile, in your Mediocre Wide Receiver Update of the Week, your trusty commish once again started 2 out of 3 wrong wideouts.  (But when the other one is Cooper Kupp, that makes up for a multitude of management sins.)   Anyone want to trade me a WR2?  


Maine 164 - Thong 128

As the Packers go, so does Maine's team.  This will be a major storyline to watch as the season progresses.  His 4 Packers players went from 0.8 combined points in Week 1 to 85.09.  That's a week-to-week increase of 10636.25%!  That is hard to do!  .. In other Maine news, he is taking the aggressive FAAB strategy to the extreme, bidding loads of cash on unproven mediocrities, and only has a pittance left to spend for the whole season.  I fully expect him to spend his last $14 on the ghost of Dennis Northcutt, somehow.

Thong put up a respectable total this week, but still leads the early race for Auction Bitch.  He has spent $0 of his FAAB budget and might not realize he has any money to spend.  There's a 30% chance he still has $100 left at the end of the season, and a 10% chance he thinks FAAB stands for "Free As A Bird".  


Extra Billy 153 - Mazzle 90  

Even when casually referring to Robby now, he's just "Extra Billy." He may never change his team name again.  His stars - Mahomes, Thielen, Henry(!), and Kelce - came out to play big-time in Week 2, and he bounced back with a huge win.  Also Gronk good!  Gronk no need watch game film!  Gronk catch balls from best friend Tommy! Gronk catch 2 scores again!  Gronk make man justify start two Tight End!    Grooooonnnnnk!  

Oh, and to his surprise, Mazzle is also in this league.

Also Happy Birthday!!

Sausage 125 - Steve 109

When 6 out of 9 other teams in the league would have beaten you, can you really bemoan your bad luck at getting "continuously outscored"?  That's like the NY Giants complaining that they got outscored by the Washington Football Team.  Technically that's true, but also, technically, that's just called losing.  

Also, Sausage got Tom Brady for $1 at the draft.  What the hell are we doing here people!?  


Mike Frank 131 - Mike Cole 94

In the first Mike-Bowl of the season, it was Frank coming out ahead of Cole, thanks to pretty consistent play across the board that somehow added up to 131, but looking at his players' scores,  I'm not really seeing it.  Looks more like 109 to me.  But that still would have been enough to beat Mike Cole, who like the Miami Dolphins, came crashing back to earth in Week 2.  



Cheers bitches!

Week 1 Recap

Howdy Folks!


While we all ponder how much to bid for Mark Ingram, let's start the season off on the right foot and dive right in with a Week 1 Recap....


109.91  Wong-Master of the Mystic Arts  defeats   68.01 Bacon Lettuce Tornado

Reigning MVP and Jeopardy Host Aaron Rodgers, stud RB Aaron Jones, TE stalwart Robert Tonyan, and the ferocious Green Bay Defense?  What do all of these have in common besides playing for the division favorite Packers?  They all started for Maine's team in Week 1.  And they all sucked harder than Jay Cutler unclogging Kristin Cavallari's milk ducts.  They combined for a TOTAL of 0.8 points.  That is really difficult to do!   Along with Jerry "Doug" Jeudy getting hurt, that is NOT not a great start to the season for Maine. ... Meanwhile, in what is bound to be a weekly tradition, I started 2 out of 3 wrong Wide Receivers.   Stay tuned for more updates on my Wide Receivers as events warrant.  


132.93 Harvester of Sorrow defeats 121.51 The Falafel Resurrections 

Falafel got mondo days out of Deebo "Deebo" Samuel and Joe "My Foot Is Going To Fall Off Any Day Now" Mixon, but other than a TD from AJ Brown, he didn't get much else exciting out of the rest of his team.  (Zeke Elliot in particular looked super sketchy.)  That was enough to open the door for Mazzle to harvest some motherfucking sorrow.  Mazzle got pretty consistent play across the board to destroy by 11 points and suck all the joy out Falafel's life.  

Nobody was more surprised about this than Mazzle:



128.53 Snausages defeats 123.43 Extra Billy

When you wear your own custom championship T-Shirt to draft weekend, you better be prepared to back that shit up.  Alas, Robby's stars and scrubs approach failed him in week 1.  Derek "Henry" Henry (with only 58 yards) wasn't starry enough and Ronald Jones (-0.60 pts) was extra scrubby.  On the flip side, Sean had a banner Sunday, playing pickleball in the morning, watching his Steelers beat the Bills in the afternoon, and edging Robby by 5 points thanks to yadda yadda yadda.  (Seems like a lot of effort for me to tell you which of Sean's players did well - you know how to look at a box score, you lazy bastard.)


185.71 Majestik Møøse defeats 152.16 So Mote It Be  

This one deserves a couple haikus:


Scores One Fifty Two

Still Loses by Thirty Three 

That's so Rappaport


What's he to do now?

I have an awesome idea!

Another Tight End?


------

And one more for MCole...


Ooh!  The Moose is Loose!

Prescott and Cooper go Nuts!

All downhill from here.


124.44 Rabbi Milligan defeats   87.06  ThongDeltaLamda

Rabbi Milligan: "Only a fool thinks the world’s gonna stay exactly as it was."

Thong got 16.5 points from Josh Jacobs, 18.2 points from Mike Williams, 16.9 points from Jarvis Landry, and 21 points from Jamaal Williams.  Unfortunately they were all on his bench.  'Nuff said.



That's all I got for now.  Have a festive week and an easy fast on Thursday, for those into that sort of thing.  

Peace and Chicken Grease,
