I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. It’s the one time of year that it’s okay to stuff your face. (Now I just need an excuse for the other 364 days!) I made the mistake of mentioning in front of my daughter that Tim’s daughter is the designer for his avatar. So she was determined to make over my avatar…. The things we endure for the sake of our children!
Anyway, let’s get to it! It’s been a productive week for a lot of us – 7 of the 8 playoff spots have been seeded. Congratulations to all that have clinched! The Texas Twisters, Southern Maulers and GnawBone Knuckleheads will be clamoring for the remaining spot. Good luck to all of you – I don’t envy your situation!
High Score of the Week: Belmont Boozers (100) vs. the Highway Hogz. The Boozers were successful in adding another number to the Hogz’s loss column. Wooohoooo! (Did I just whoop out loud?!) Once again, the standings tighten up with a loss at the top. Thanks, Boozers!
Low Score of the Week: The Brothers Trame tied for the un-coveted title, Highway Hogz and Texas Twisters (68). Cosmic, man!
Longest Winning Streak of the Season: The Hogz have been displaced – the new record belongs to the Nashville Nitwits with a winning streak of 6. The Nitwits have bowled their way into 2nd place and are continuing with their efforts to push the Hogz toward the slaughterhouse. Mathematically, the Hogz could slip out of first if the moon is in the 7th house… whoa, this hippy thing is getting old!
Biggest DUH of the Week: In looking back at the points the Slackers COULD HAVE scored if (1) they held on to Minnesota DEF, (2) started Chad Johnson WR, and (3) started Drew Brees QB, the final score would have been 104 instead of 76. Chad Johnson hadn’t scored a touchdown since Wk 2, and now in Wk 12 he finally decides to let it loose. Ugh. And who in their right mind would have sat down Tony Romo in favor of Drew Brees? The Football Gods are sneering at me, I’m sure.
Looking ahead: If there is anything that I can say that I’ve learned from playing FF, it’s that anything, yes ANYTHING, can happen in the NFL. Who would have thought that Philadelphia would have given New England a hard time. Philadelphia’s defense has been suspect at best, and I wouldn’t have bet that they would have made it a game. Makes me think that maybe McNabb should consider retiring! And, now that he’s done for the season, does Ricky Williams get paid for an hour of game time?
Good luck, All!
