With playoffs just around the corner, it's crunch time. Last week saw the hopes of teams continue, the wrapping up of playoff spots, and some seasons come to and end (although I don't know if that team's owner knows it). I hope everyone's Thanksgiving breaks were enjoyable, and that the sprint to the finish that is finals goes as smooth as could be. Now, onto the recap...
The Renaissance 89, Team Rihanna 41
Joe's team performed at its highest level when it counted, but I have to say, I'm hoping it doesn't go as smoothly for him this week, as I would love that regular season number one, because if I do recall, #1 in regular season does get their money back. (yes I said money). P.S. It looks Tmac has reverted back to baseball form, so it's nice to see he has Jason Elam still on his team.
Deep Throw It 75, Duke Football 41
Well this one looked close going into Monday night, but then the Saints do what they do, and it was all over. Luke's team is still very dangerous if they make the playoffs, as they have the best QB and one of the best RB's in the league. I just happened to have a little luck that both did not go off this week.
Primus Inter Pares 72, Boston TD Party 50
Jack's team puts in another solid week, as the predraft trade he and I made has helped out both parties quite well. As the Patriots go, JP's team goes it seems, although it does hurt when your number one runner only gets ya two points.
Super Consistency 63, The Moops 41
This comes and no big surprise. If a team you are playing is starting Jason Snelling, you should win by no less than 20 points. Especially when you have the best running back in the league on your team. Yes, I said it, Chris Johnson is better than Adrian Peterson.
Bulldogs 62, Team Chris Brown 44
Although Tom may have ruffled some feathers this past week, his team performed relatively well for once. That'll happen when your kicker and defense lead your team in scoring. As much as I benefited from the Who Dat? Saints, Caff was hurt when his stud receivers only managed four points.
Now to address Jack's request for (MORE) rules changes. Let me first start by saying, I am perfectly fine with talking about changes to our league's rules, and am more than happy to meet up over winter break to figure things out once and for all. But to suggest that just because the team who scored the most points in our league is not in first place, and the team who scored the least points may make the playoffs, we have to find some way to make it so that that can't happen is pretty absurd. As Luke has said, that's part of what sports is all about, ESPECIALLY fantasy sports. Sometimes, the best team doesn't always win. That's just how it works, and to try to change this would completely undermine what sports are all about. I completely acknowledge your thirst for some way to completely eradicate luck from the equation Jack, but as LT said, what would be the point of even paying attention anymore?
(Double) Hot Clicks of the Week
It's one of the most anticipated nights in all of TV, so how could I not start off with a certain fashion show?
With the fashion show aside, I got to thinking. What if we anointed an Official Armchair Fantasy Girl for our blog? Now I'm not proposing turning this blog into all about big boobs and nice asses, but I think we should have a little competition of sorts? Here's what I propose, each guy nominates a particular female they find attractive, and we all cast votes. We narrow it down to five semifinalists, then three finalists, and then announce the winner the week of the championship? So by next week, I hope all of you nominate your favorite female, and see if we can make this happen. The more under the radar the better.
If this doesn't get you jacked up, nothing will.
Check out the Sports Fan's Bucket List. I might make it my life's personal goal to see everyone of these.
The usual crowd prank at half time of basketball game, but I think the best part is the guy goes and taunts Reggie Miller.
I think Chris Fowler and his gang just love finding people to make fun of at their games. Although this kind completely fails so it's pretty funny.
As much as I like Tiger Woods, I have to put in something about his wife kicking his ass.
Props to Kevin Love on his new girlfriend.
This is pretty scary, and downright idiotic
Alright well I think that will be enough to tide most of you over, but just in case, here are two songs of the week: Ain't No Reason by Brett Dennen and 40 Day Dream by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
