Week 9 Recap
Coach Rubs v. HI-Life Ganja Farmers - Logan didn’t set a lineup again. Not that it mattered, his team sucks and Djavan put up 219 points behind Josh Allen and company. Logan needs to get it together man. Give me a break. He’s now 3-6 and so bad as Djavan moves to 7-2 and sits just behind Zack for the division lead
The Kosher Nostra v. Commissioner Stalin - The Soviets needed a huge win in a rivalry game against the cheese, and they got big games from rookie Jaxson Dart and Ashton Jeanty to get the victory. Big Mike actually rolled out JJ McCarthy at quarterback and he responded with a solid 18.2 points to lead Team Wisconsin in scoring, but the rest of Mike’s team floundered badly with exactly 10 combined points out of his RBs and Tucker Kraft tearing his ACL and going down for the season. Mike is now 6-3 but still leads the North Division while Stalin is 2-7 and somehow mathematically alive
Boof v. Sloppy Joe - Brock had to be feeling good with huge games out of Caleb Williams and Boof Bowers, who combined for just under 75 points between themselves to save him from what has been a brutally injury filled season. Alas, it wasn’t enough as AutoJoe dropped 200 points for the 3rd time this season (it’s true) in a huge win to keep alive in the wild card race. Joe had 4 guys score over 25 points, and none of them were Kyler Williams or Puka Nacua, who also combined for another 36 points between the two of them. Brock takes another rough L and falls to the basement at 1-8 while Joe is 4-5 and very much alive in the playoff race
The Law Firm v. The Sneaky Greek - Jacoby Brissett had a huge game on MNF in continued relief of Kyler Murray to give Zack the surge he needed to get ahead of Anthony in a game that featured the Cowboys’ entire offense. Dak and CD (Law Firm) outscored Pickens and Javonte Williams (Sneaky Greek), but it was Zack who came away with the win to continue his run and keep a hold on the yogurt soft East Division. Zack is rolling out a hilariously old team featuring Jared Goff, Jacoby Brissett, Derrick Henry, Davante Adams, AND George Kittle, and it seems to be working as he is now 8-1 and atop the league while dropping Any, Esq. to 3-6
Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits Game of the Week MMMMM GOOOOD
Q v. The Toll Booth - Q responded to the GOTW nomination by not setting a lineup, and ultimately he lost to Nikki by 23 points - a very attainable margin for one RB, one DL, and a kicker - but what do we know. Unbelievable. Nikki is 6-3 and tied with Mike atop the North while Q falls to 5-4 for being an ass
Bold Play of the Week presented by Markal Lumber Crayon
Mike wins the Bold Play Award for starting JJ McCarthy, who actually led his team in points in a rough L to the Soviets
Scoop of the Week presented by Tostitos Scoops
Djavan scooped up Seattle WR Tory Horton, who scored 18.8 points between his receiving and returning in a huge Ganja Farmer win
YOU BLEW IT Player of the Week presented by Adam Sandler
Logan and Q both win for not setting lineups. Again.
.Week 10 preview
Q v. The Kosher Nostra - A huge matchup in the North Division this week between Mike and Q, with Mike leading the division at 6-3 and Q just one game back at 5-4. Q won the first matchup back in week 2, and getting that H2H tiebreaker could prove massive down the road when it comes to winning the division and getting a first round bye or having to play a wild card game. Q has an interesting strategy here an hour before kickoff with five (5) guys on a bye week in his starting lineup, while Mike’s lineup is peppered with players on his favorite team in the entire world, the Philadelphia Eagles. Will Q set a lineup?
Boof v. Coach Rubs - Speaking of not setting lineups, Logan once again fails to do so with two (2) guys on a bye week in his lineup. He’s actually in the wild card battle, so not sure what the idea is here but we will roll with it. Brock’s team is in shambles after being devastated by injuries early on, but he might get lucky here and pull one out. At this rate, Logan could be heading right for trophy shipping again, and a loss against Brock this week would really make that a likely outcome. Alas, even with 2 bye week guys in his lineup, Logan is still projected to win. Brock’s team is so bad
Commissioner Stalin v. Sloppy Joe - Speaking of bad, the Soviets come in hot after a huge win against the Cheese for their second victory of the year. And of course, we had another team that didn’t set a lineup with AutoJoe having five (5) guys on a bye week in his starting lineup, but he managed to hit a buzzer beater and fill all those spots in his lineup to actually try this week. Hooray! The best part about teams not setting lineups is that the ESPN app has added a feature that’s called ‘quick lineup’, where you click the button and it will automatically fill out your entire lineup for you, subbing out guys on bye weeks AND guys that are injured! Wow!
The Toll Booth v. The Law Firm - Finally! We have a game where both teams set their lineups! Nikki comes in at 6-3 and tied for first in the North with Mike, while Anthony, Esq. is struggling badly and comes into this battle having gone 1-4 in his last 5 games. The Law Firm is 3-6 on the season and needs a win here to keep up in the wild card race, but it’s not looking good after a Michael Pittman Jr dud in Deutschland has him projected to lose by 15. Ich bein ein Berliner
Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits Game of the Week MMMMM GOOOOD
The Sneaky Greek v. HI-Life Ganja Farmers - This was supposed to be an epic battle for control of the East Division between Zack and Djavan, with Zack sitting at 8-1 and Djavan right behind him at 7-2 with the two best records in the league squaring off for the second time this season and Zack’s one and only loss on the year coming to Djavan himself way back in week 1. Then the Berlin Game happened, and Jonathan Taylor dropped 40 points in a massive game for the Ganja Farmers to give them an absurd projected score of 228. Zack is expected to put up a good score himself, but not much you can do when you’re facing a 40 burger. Sad!
