Hi all,
Sorry I missed last week and technically I missed this week too. For what it’s worth my sister was inducted into the Faribault Sports Hall of Fame along with such greats as Bruce Smith and Mark Dusbabek. She is also part owner of the now 5-3 Let’s Get Physical team which is making a move up the standings. Granted she’s part owner the way Magic Johnson is part owner of the Dodgers or some dude in Sheboygan is part owner of the Packers. But nevertheless you are all separated by a degree from Faribault greatness.
This week I’m back although not necessarily on time. Or maybe just in time. I just got done watching the Texans shut down Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson for 3 quarters and man did I need both of those players to have bad nights in a different league I’m in. Only to see both players put up numbers at the end. Not the first time Andrew Luck has waited until the last moments of Sunday night to school my team. At least this time he didn’t throw pass to Reggie Wayne so terrible it tore up his knee:
...I’m not bitter. This time he beat my team the honest way. I now need 16 points from Brandon Marshall on Monday Night Football. Or what’s more is I need Josh McCown to somehow get him the ball...I’m in trouble. The last time I cared about what a guy named McCown did in a pro football game this happened:
There’s a 75% chance I will plow through the kids entire Halloween candy collection in 3 hours tomorrow night go into a blood sugar coma and wake up to find Devin Aromashadu came out of retirement and lead the Bears with 3 TDs .
Meanwhile McCown throws the ball at B Marsh’s head giving him a concussion and then immediately gets traded to the Vikings and spends the last part of the season hoping his 5 yard routes can get him 2 receptions a game from Christian Ponder.
Then I go back to my coma. Note to self: get a healthy coping mechanism like situps or vegetables.
Well, it’s Week 9 and we only have 4 more weeks until the playoffs and based on how close the records are its anyone’s chance to get one of those 8 spots. And we know from past seasons, once you make it in anything can happen. So if the playoffs started right now, here’s the seeding:
Here's the link to the Projected playoff page if you want to see the whole picture:
Even the juggernaut Savannah Pickles still has to win this week and next week to ensure a playoff spot or get some loss by the bottom teams. I’m sure I did the magic number thing last year so I’ll probably break that out again.
Just like always here’s the Power Rankings below: What’s interesting is there’s not much movement from last weeks to this weeks. Props to Replacement Refs for the 2 spot jump and Props to Team Kent for finally winning one after a nasty losing streak despite having the highest scoring team in the league for almost the entire season. Not sure how that’s possible but it is. Watch out for Team Kent in the home stretch everybody.
Thanks again for everyone playing hope between the ups and downs of fantasy football, the family/friend/SS league rivalries that have developed, and this page you are enjoying the season. It’s fun to have a connection with all of you through a format like this. Everyone has been fantastically competitive and gracious this season and previous ones.
Hope you all didn’t get bit by the bye week bug too much this week. Have a good one.
