This is Serious Business FFL

Welcome to week 4, one quarter of the way through season 14 of “This is Serious Business”!! Some teams are starting to separate from the others and the question for us all is…do they love to win or do they hate to lose?” Are they fighting hard and losing tough games (Nizzle and Pigg), is their team horribly flawed by the worst draft in FFL history😂 (AintReba), or is their entire team hurt (BD)? We will see in the upcoming weeks if they “hate to lose”!

Let’s get to the recap!!

In our first cat fight of the season LO invited AintReba to Little Guys Movers stadium. Let’s see how that worked out…

Easy W for the league leader. 139-111. Not even 41 from CeeDee could slow down the small but mighty LO. Strong numbers up and down her roster, again. AintReba, as stated above, had 41 from CeeDee and not much else, except her Kicker, who is still the highest drafted K in history😂😂. LO gets ready for week 5 while our country crooner looks back and wonders “what if…”

Big Diesel has had a rough start to the season. Saquon, washed, JJeff out, Lad out. Tough luck in this violent sport. If only there was a way to improvise, adapt, overcome? Maybe Burrows 23 on the bench. Hubbard 25 watching from the sidelines. Judkins, 21, sipping on a Gatorade. Metcalf 16, doing jazzercise routines instead of playing. Maybe they might have helped?? This writer doesn’t do math but my guess is yes.

Side note- 54 point difference, so yes.

Yes, it was the Commish. And Tet went off for 45

Doing interviews is just part of running an FFL franchise. And looking sharp. The Cats find both easy, easy like a Sunday morning W over his rival Pigg 157-126. Pigg played well but KWIII 30 and KyWill 36 was just too much this week for our only team that has camouflage as their official colors.

And on MNF, the most heated of rivals and former friends and neighbors, Nizzle squared of with TBIAC at a private stadium buried below downtown Dallas. Why? Cause they can, that’s why. Nizzle has proclaimed himself the “Dominator” while the Capt is more a FFL ninja, quiet, sneaky and lethal. 2 positions made the difference this week. That’s how close it can be in a dogfight like this one! Kai kicked for 16 while Myers only booted 6. And the big one, the difference maker. PWash 2, Nico…30. Ballgame. 144-131. Another tight loss for Nizz who again, didn’t dominate, and another sneaky win from TomBradyIsACheater. Fun game to watch, and we all hope these two can mend the fences that have been bulldozed over in their friendship (DFUN knows all the terrible details if you want to DM him. He also has pictures!)

LO undefeated. TBIAC , Cats and DFUN 3-1. Nizz, Pigg and Reba at 1-3 and poor poor Diesel 0’fer. Now the funny lil quirk we see every season. Who are the FFL Gods favoring and who are they punishing? Nizz is second in points but has a losing record. Pigg is virtually tied in points with Cats and DFUN yet has one win. Shiva is clearly angry with them for some reason (praying to false FFL gods, no stuffed animal sacrifices, not paying their FFL dues)…who knows. And for poor Diesel., Shiva has just looked away from this abomination. A new coach is rumored to be in discussions with BD and their winless team.

So we will see who loves to win, who Shiva is favoring, and who HATES to lose. Many weeks to go and as usual more injuries, more waiver wire wonders and more wins and losses yet to come!!

Some of our “Governors” are thinking this exact thought. A few look like it could be true. But some teams look like they may never win again, you know who you are😘! It’s a looong season, lots of twists and turns, good and bad, breakouts and busts. Put your best roster forward and let “Shiva” guide you to the promise land! Or the to the “Sacko”.

After 2 weeks of ATL horrid QB play, this week was different except Pitts is still worthless! If you hung with Bijan and London till now, it paid off nicely as you can see above. Now let’s see if it continues…

And speaking of the Falcons, DFUN rode the wave of offensive domination. 35 and 28 from Bij and Drake. GW tossed in 26 and no one else is even worth mentioning. Lucky for the Commish he was playing his bro-in-law Team Pigg! Our Northern FFL’er has struggled to score points this season and week 3 was no difference. Gibbs scored 41, as usual, but K Bass, Pit D, Nabers, LaPorta, Hampton, Coker and Waddle combined for 38. Seriously, 38!! Bad week for Pigg, but week 4 is a bounce back game at the Hello Kitty Playground with the heated rival Cats. Easy win for DFUN, take ‘em when you get ‘em!

Cats v AintReba. 123-105. Cats strut away with the W. This looked like an easy W for the hometown Cats but it came down to MNF and Ky Williams. For Reba, Josh Allen had his first pedestrian game, 17. Skattebo smashed for 13, Ceedee 20 and fragile Devontae Smith 12. Cats scored 19 from TLaw, KWIII continued to dazzle with 21 and CWatson 22. DEF/ST is where our planet nerd turned FFL doormat came to play. 18 points combined to only 10 for the Kittens. But…. Kyren Williams was waiting for the Monday Night finale to seal the deal. 88 yds, 6 catches for 70 yds. 21 pts and the dub. Cats on a small win streak while Reba continues to yo-yo from winning and losing. But at least her third round draft pick, a K, did well…

In what has become a habit, Big Diesel looked more like a Nissan Leaf. TBIAC continues to defend his crown with strong play over the first 3 weeks of the season, These two Titans (?) battled Sunday afternoon, one to climb the leaderboard and one to get their first victory. One was successful and one is 0-3. The Capt, despite 3 pts from his QB ran away with this one 137-92. DHenry 21, JWill 18, JChase 24, Golden 21 and on and on and on. Diesel fought hard but with JV players unfortunately. Montgomery (bust) 6, JJeff ( injured) 5, Saquon (bust) 9. It’s been a tough few weeks for the Cali-kid, may be time for some drastic moves. As for the Capt, another easy W. Take ‘em when you can get ‘em.

In the Sunday Night game, two behemoths (not physically but more FFL-y) the Undefeated LO went to Highland Park to take on the “Dominator” Nizzle. – side note, self proclaimed nickname. The Dominator came out with 20 from Lamar, 19 from Olave (will get injured), Bowers 27 (auto drafted), and 13 from PWash. The puny pugilist jabbed with 12 from Jeanty, 15 from Pickens and JCook 19. Then a tiny little left hook flew by, 23 from her TE. Then the full uppercut, JSN 35. As Nizzle started to fall, one last baby sized fist made contact, THiggins, 21 finished the night with a knockout. The “Dominator” was Dominated by someone who needs a car seat in California (see last week if this is confusing😂) LO goes 3-0 and Nizzle fired his entire staff…again.

Week 3 is in the books! We have one undefeated team and one unwinned team. Plenty of time to turn it around or fall off the FFL mountaintop! Injuries are HUUUUGGEE, so grab a handcuff, make a trade (don’t see that happening), start 2 kickers, do something!! Find the roster that’ll make you feel like “this team will never lose again”.

Strive for the confidence of the Raiders…

Welcome back! Hope week two was all you had hoped for (for 4 of us it was). This will be a quick recap due to computer issues but what it lacks in content it’ll make up for in FFL goodness! Lots of injuries, bust and breakouts already in this dumb, dumb game. Let’s get to it…

You all know what the next graphic means. A win most likely, or a loss due to

In what has been described as the absolute greatest game ever played, by at least one writer, DFUN went to Hello Kitty Stadium and Rodeo Ground. The Commish brought a loaded team and a secret weapon, a voodoo doll. Interesting? It started with Jaylen Daniel’s elbow moving in ways it shouldn’t. OUT. dJMoore, 1 rush for -0.1 then carted off. OUT. dicker the Kicker. 2 points, not OUT but the entire Chargers offense was. 2 backup RBs…OUT. And his final devious move, Puka questionable on Friday. And Saturday. Doubtful after the last game on Sunday night. Game time decision…OUT. No replacement. 0 points. But the Cats are not quitters. What was left of the roster came out determined to fight this one till the last second ticked off the clock. And they did. Monday night Kyren Williams took the lead for Denton’s favorite team and the Cats walked (some carted) off the field in victory! Was this the greatest example of ferocity and determination or the worst coaching job (DFUN) of the 14 years of this league. You can decide for yourself. Cats 103 DFUN 99.

LO v BD. One has stood tall so far this season even though, legally in California, she needs a car seat. And the Californian who doesn’t need a car seat has struggled. Is this a get-right week for Diesel? No it isn’t. 153-126. Dak and Mahomie battled, JCook ran all over Saquon, but CMC doubled up Jeanty. Diggs beat Pickens and Kelce crawled out of his motorized all-terrain wheelchair and scored 25 to Loveland (bust?) 1. But when it came down to go time, JJEFF snagged 8 pts and JSN (last year breakout star) went for 42. Game over. The tiny assassin struck again and BD goes back to the drawing board. At least he doesn’t need a car seat though, he’s got that going for him…

Pigg hosted the Capt on the frozen tundra of Virginia in the Virginia is for ❤️ Coliseum. The weather was brutal, almost as brutal as the TBIACs squad played. 132-117, Pigg squealed all the way home with this easy W. Stafford and Gibbs were all he needed while the Capt threw in the tablet after Drake Mayes 8 point disappointment and ETNs lack of usage. Bounce back week upcoming for the current Champ while Pigg will try to keep momentum on his side.

And in the nightcap, two storied teams fought for their FFL lives (as much as you can in week 2). What has been described as the absolute greatest game ever played, at least by the one, and the same writer, as earlier. The fireworks flew and the points climbed! For the NASA scientist, Josh Allen ran wild. 40 points. Ceedee 35, DSmith 27 and her third round pick in the draft, the number 17 ADP TE, Ferguson 20!! Nizzle, who came out firing on all cylinders (and talking trash about domination) , didn’t let that shake him and his veteran squad drafted by a team of professional fantasy analysts. JT 29 (while healthy) Olave (while healthy) 22, ASB ( always healthy) 35. This was a game for the ages! It came down to, as it usually does, to the special teams. Nizz kicked 7 and the Philly D tackled 6 more and the lead. Reba calculated every move, player and weather pattern. And still chose TB D. Only 6 points and still trailing. But, the secret weapon, the highest drafted K in the history of ALLLLLL fantasy football, Aubrey stepped up to the tee. 24 points. Victory. Final score 180-172. You have to love a game where 103 wins and 172 loses…. so Dumb.

Soooo, week 2 is over, some GREAT games and some not interesting games😂. More injuries, more questions, more moves to make. Good luck and Goodnight.

One last thing, for the teams watching Bijan, Pitts and London look like a JV team…

Maybe next week things will change? Maybe…

This years draft went down, black tie, champagne and caviar as it should have. Overlooking the top rated golf course in the world, Oakmont, the Draftees wined and dined and fought like the Real Housewives of Denton! Some, we wont name (Nizzle, TBIAC, AintReba) were unavailable, while the lone Yankee was 1500 miles away, most likely in a duck blind or doing something manly. The rest enjoyed the finest of hot dogs and margaritas and the summer views of the course. In record time it was over. Draft complete. Some interesting choices (Reba), some complaining (Nizzle), lots of regret (Cats) and overall numbness knowing what you just did will affect your life and emotions for the next 17 weeks. A kicker went in the 6th, two TE (not good ones) went in the early rounds by the same team (Reba), our first TE in the first round (Auto Draft-Nizzle) and many iffy calls at weird times happened as usual. Diesel tried to draft all the 49″ers as per usual. Pigg drafted after drinking 12 Busch Light Pumpkin Spice, as per usual. LO was just angry, you guessed, as per usual. It’s over, now its time to play ball and solved the problems we brought onto ourselves with another draft night!!! Below is the computers ranking of the draft. We will look back on this in a few months!

As week 1 unfolds, there will be upsets, busts, superstars and everything else in-between. Some would say “Settle Down”, its week 1. I say go for it, dump that first round draft pick, go get that guy you never heard off who got 2 TD’s in week 1. Chase K and DST like your life depended on it, cause it does… in This is Serious Business!!! Lets get to it!!

The Nizz, as usual, came out of the FFL closet looking fabulous and playin even better! Poor Big Diesel just got a complete makeover from the new look Nizz. 155-125. Lamar 24, Breece 19, JT only 25 before his impending injury, Olave 28 before his impending injury, ARSB 28. Ridiculous! Diesel got 33 from JJeff and 19 from the lil Laddy but nothing was stopping this “dragging” (i thought it was funny). We can only hope injuries or a new surgery takes Nizz out of the game.

In the preview battle for this years Sacko, DFUN and AintReba clashed! Not really like two locomotives barreling down the same track on an unstoppable collision course, but more like 2 sugar loaded toddlers stumbling into each other than rolling on the ground for minutes giggling! Final 136-107. Kalshi odds were an over/under of 7. So they got the over!! Even Josh Allen’s 34 wasn’t enough for the autodraft guru. Reba’s 3rd round choice of Ferguson did NOT payoff, 2 pts. Dowdle stumbled for 4. The highest drafted K in league history, Aubrey…. 2.

DFUN had a good game from Hurts, a shocking game from Goedert, 24, and UT superstar Bijan’s 31.

Easy win for the Commish, expected loss from the Ole Miss missus!

It’s not only a shot at the Aggies horrible loss this week to Kentucky (and a UT win at OSU) but a nod to the week 1 victor. TBIAC 143 Cats 123. TLaw did what he could with 26, KW3 ran wild, 34, CBrown 18. But the Capt countered with 35 from DHenry, McBride, the best player no one thinks about, because he’s a Cardinal, 24, Javonte 24, Nico 21. Just a solid game from everyone, on one of the two teams. Cats are already churning the waiver wire to replace the dead weight (hope there are enough players in waivers).

Week 1 brought are diminutive ffl’er up North to take on Team Pigg in the Busch Light Pumpkin Spice Stadium! The cold weather was drifting in as these two started to battle. Ashton ran wild, 32, JSN, 26 (-note, both players were on the Cats last year and should be given back. Please😘) Huge special teams combining for 31 Ives this one.

Pigg has Gibbs and all 33 of his points, but Stafford was jet lagged and tossed 4. AJBrown was injured early, Kyle Pitts Kyle Pittsed and captured a donut. Not even a 30 point defensive effort good save Pigg from the FFL’er who has house broken many a pig before. I’m sure we will see the game played again, probably in the first round if the Sacko!

Week 1 is over. Time to overreact, roster churn, cry, blame the Fantasy Gods! Whatever it is they gets you revved up for week 2 and beyond. Welcome back to This Is Serious Business!!

And for the Drake London, Kyle Pitts owners. There is a light at the end of the tunnel…

Lots of FFL fistfights this week. The two Dallas juggernauts met up at Jerry World, Big D and the Cats squared off in a fantasy aerial dogfight, and then the Thursday Night games (the one no one cares about) found DFUN hosting AintReba and in the finale, Pigg v LO. Even these games didn’t dissapoint, for a change! Who got knocked out and who stood victorious in week 7 of This is Serious Business…

And just for fun…

And…

Back to the action…

LO hosted Pigg at the “It’s a small world” stadium this week. Both scored their highest totals of the season (maybe, not going back through their terrible stats to check). Skattebo and Ferguson led the way for our Northern friend but a -2 from the D really hurt his chances. LO got no love from Love, and Rico was not suave this Sunday. But JGibbs was. 36.9 points as you may have noticed from above. Game over 137-122, and small win for a small owner.

In the second of the TNF games DFUN got himself into a big scrap with AintReba. Reba hasn’t broke triple digits in a month or two and DFUN forgets he has a team. WOW, this should be fun to watch! Goff and Baker were terrible, Etienne and Chubb were worse. But DFUN had Justin’s 26 and DAdams 26. Reba fought back with 17 from the Philly D and 33 from DSmith. Buuuuuuttt, the little country crooner played Mike Evans, which would be good, if he had played. And Kittle scored a record zero points, and played the game. DFUN not to be outcoached, didn’t have a kicker. And still won. As noted, what a fun game to watch. Final score-ish… 103-98. The commish gets an interesting win.

In the first “real”game of the week, Big D welcomed his old work friend, the Cats, to the country club for some fisticuffs. This one came down to the wire! Rogers and Maye were equal. As were RBs and Flex. Both teams had huuuuuugggeeee Defensive games with 23 and 25. K went to the older contestant😂. As usual, the Cats TE had a season low 4 while TKraft dropped 16. JSN snagged 26 for the kittens. Ladd had 15 and the lead for Diesel with one game to go. MNF, Big D with the lead and Nico Collin’s, the Vats with Rashee Rice. Rashee 26. Nico 6. Cats sneak off the 18th hole with a 3 point upset. Diesel went to bed with an 78% chance of victory and woke up to an L. 133-130

And in the Main Event, both hailing from the mean streets of Highland Park, Nizz versus TBIAC. These two have been unbeatable for weeks, running to the top of the brackets in wins and points. And the showdown is today! JTaylor had another 3rd TDs but CMC countered. Hurts and Mahomie traded jabs. Achane uppercutted Breece and JChase right hooked JJeff 38-12. Amon gut punched Drake. But TBIAC was not going down to the mat just yet. McBride caught a huuuuge 29. But as the Nizz has done all season, he kept fighting. Waiver wire pickup Vidal and the Chi D finished the fight with a haymaker to the Capt’s noggin. Final 181-144. Tough week when the second highest score is the loser. These two left as friends and went down to lower Greenville for a nice Cosmo and a charcuterie board.

Week 7 in the books. Week 8 coming real soon. And don’t forget to play a kicker.

We all have THAT player, mine is all 6 TE’s I’ve played. Great in the room, terrible on the field. Correction, all of us except for Nizz and TBIAC. But we push on, make moves and pray to Shiva to bring us out of fantasy hell. While the Dallas duo just puts their feet up on their giant mahogany desks and smokes the Red Auerbach victory cigar. But very week in FFL is a new week and a new chance. Let’s see what happened!

Well, I guess we have to talk about it. Some said it was impossible, others agreed. But, it has happened. Noooo, not AintReba losing 10 in a row. It’s Team Pigg with back to back wins. I went back and checked and it’s looks legit. 2 wins in a row! Big Diesel was more of a Tesla this week, only scoring 111. But Skattebo hammered and backflipped to 31pts and a 3 point victory for Pigg. Let’s see if Trey can keep the streak going!

153-93. Has Reba hit triple digits this year since Lamar went down and KingHenry has been dethroned ? And what a waste of a 153 point game😂😂😂

DFUN taking on Nizzle. Since the Commish refuses to trade, his depleted team goes down easily to Nizz, 151-106. Also, DFUN lost because Nizzle scored 153 freaking points, which may be his season average.

LO went to Highland Park to take on the FFL behemoth TBIAC. with those tiny fists flailing, smashing the Capt right in the shins, LO posted a 134 hard earned points. Good enough to win on any given Sunday. Except this Sunday. TBIAC continues to roll along, crushing his opponents and the hopes of all, except Nizzle. 173 points scored. Wow. Nothing left to say except bad luck for LO and good luck to the next victim of the Capt.

Soooooo, no change. Nizz and TBIAC win, the rest of us flounder about. Maybe next week, maybe. Week 7 has lots of byes and always lots of injuries. Check your roster and make sure to have a kicker (spoiler). And someone please check on AintReba, like a FFL welfare check. DFUN said, “I’ve never seen a worse team than hers, even some of Steph’s teams weren’t this bad”. Tough words from the Commish. He also mentioned some kinda investigation in 2 certain teams for nefarious doings. You can guess who…

The Big Boys. We have noticed a trend lately. 2 Big City Bullies have been running roughshod over our league. The show up to one draft, eat all the food, draft perfect teams then sit in the fancy houses in their fancy neighborhoods and gorge on inferior fantasy squads. Nizzle and TBIAC have definitely pushed the rest from the trough, for now. FFL is a long season, many twists and turns. But through 5 games…. It’s been Pigg Suuuuueeeyyyy!

Let’s get to it…

Well, I guess we have to talk about it. The Basement Bowl. We were all planning on seeing this in week 18 for the right to house the Sacko in their home for a full year (or multiple years for these two😂). Trey came out on fire and Reba gave up immediately only scoring 91, which is better than her previous 75. But a loss is a loss and Pigg takes home the victory on the first of many meetings between these two mediocre teams.

DFUN tried to end his losing streak, mostly from missing half his team to injuries and yet STILL denying all trade efforts and sticking with his beleaguered team. Unfortunately he ran into the buzz saw named TBIAC. 158-124. Valiant effort, but the Capt, and Nizzle (more to come) seem invincible right now.

Big D visiting LO in the Danny Devito (short joke) Stadium. Both teams have had some ups and downs this season. But this one came down to the Def/ST. Diesel got 17 from the SF K Pineiro and 5 from, you guessed it, the SF Def. Steph countered with 5 from Elliot and a -4 from the vaunted SEA D. Game over 137-112.

In the game of the week the Cats hosted the agrarian football guru Nizzle. Tight game all Sunday. JTaylor 31, Egbuka 31. Amon 18, JSN 27. Cats go into MNF with an 11 point lead and only Kelce left to play. What could go wrong for the kittens? 4 catches for 25 yards by Kelce. Cats WIN! Nope. One of those was a TD. Kelce hits 11.3 points Cats lose (no one cares but Kelce ended the night with 7 for 51 and a TD. It’s called artistic license). Nizzle escapes 139-131 in one of his worst weeks (tough problem to have).

If anyone in the list below was on your team, congrats. You probably won. And if you had one or more on the second list, you definitely lost. If you have been paying attention, both lists change every week as do many of the players. It’s FFL, it’s unpredictable. How many players have you picked up as the hot waiver wire just to dump them the next week? How many draftees have you released just to watch them blow up? But after MNF we mourn our losses, celebrate our victories and thank the Gods of fake football we have the league we have. Enough of the sweet stuff, Pitter Patter lets get to week 4 recap!

The picture says it all. 75 points will get you a L and it did for lil AintReba. She has been real quite lately, maybe a welfare check is needed. Big Disel 124 and the W.

In another TBIAC drive by, the Cats were caught in the crossfire. 170-129. While 129 will usually get you a win, unlike 75, this one was never close. The Capt has come out on fire this season, we all need to hope he cools off. And some more sweet, Bryan the governor of TBIAC is also a new dad!!! Congrats on both your wins!

After breaking his undefeated streak, the former Champ (still doesn’t sound right), has gotten back to normal. This week losing 154 to 124. Same thought as above, but lil Steph went off like a tiny cyclone and that is hard to stop. DFUN is quickly falling behind in the arms race, but still leads the league in denying trade offers😂. LO is fighting to stay on the top 4.

Pigg was slayed on Week 4 by the Nizz this week 165-116, to keep him on the bottom of the dumpster fire of rankings, right next to AintReba. The Nizzle versus TBIAC showdown has been flexed to prime time as the two have absolutely dominated this season. God help us all.

Week 4 in the books. We know who’s on top, and bottom, leaving the rest to struggle in the middle. Time to make some changes, beware of the dreaded bye weeks, injuries and busts. Next week anything can happen (except AintReba winning). Just playing🤣 but not really

Week 3 is over. Wins, losses, sadness, joy…. The usual. As Shoresy said, run em up, aka outscored your opponent. Or fill em in, hockey talk for bringing the lumber. Some of our teams did one, the other or received one or the other. Overall a great week of fake football! More injuries, busts, waiver wire hero’s and more foosball to come. Enjoy the week 3 recap. Let’s get to it!

DFUN v Ceiling Cats

In this battle of old school foes, DFUN was projected to win and with the Cats QB and TE play (abysmal) so far this year, no one was surprised. Baker crushed Dak (WTF was the Cats coach thinking??) and Bucky trounced draft bust Chase Brown. Kyren and Bijan were even so the Cats were only down big. Then Ceedee hurt an ankle and we all held our breath, some fearing an injury, one FFL owner praying it was! It was! Cedee finished with a zero giving the Cats a glimmer of hope! So it’s close ballgame going into the 4th quarter. Malik versus JSN. Remember last week? Malik had 30 points and multiple TDs? Well…Russ was horrible and eventually benched. Malik grabbed 3 points worth of terrible passes, just 3. JSN finished of the Commish with 20 and the Cats defeat the oligarch and put an end to his win streak. Fill em in worked this week. Final 126-104

TBIAC v Pigg

As seen below (we have adjusted Def points) when your D scores 44 fn points, it’s over. Who cares what everyone else did! TBIAC definitely ran em up this week.

Nizz hosts Big D at the FarmersOnly.com field and agricultural center

Looked like a great game on paper. Then JTaylor rumbled for 32 and it was downhill from there for Big Diesel, who’s looking like this years best loser (every year has one, but it’s still early for the Cali-Kid). Add a 21 from the Nizzle K and 24 from TB Def and, yup, Diesel got run up. So far in this short season, Nizzle has run wild with an unstoppable Offense and a stout D. We can only hope some bad decisions will be made soon😂! Final score 151-120

Our first Catfight of the season Reba visits the Lilliputian Land of LO

This was the BEST game of the week, coming down to the MNF game. Both Little Women could win, or lose. For LO- JLove was bad in an even worse loss to CLE. JJacobs was fine with 12 and Philly realized AJBrown played for them and actually threw him the ball, 22. Puka did what Puka do, 22. And GB D, with Micah, 14. AintReba countered with Pollards 13, MEvans 13 and bad hammy, DSmith (forgot he was in the league) 20. Dicker the Kicker booted 12 and the Philly D 18. Tight game, lots of tiny fists being throw, but luckily their arms were too short to really connect. So here comes MNF… LO has the lead and JGibbs. Reba down, but has her dynamic duo,Lamar and KingHenry. Gibbs goes off for 26 and the lead. Henry fumbles away AintReba’s chances. Ooorrrrr did he? Well… he did. But Dan Campbell and his giant juevos went for it, as usual, and with the game all coming down to Detroit running out the clock, DMonty broke off huge run and instead off falling down to run clock, he scored! DET is is winning the game! But LO only has a small lead and Lamar has 1:49 left. Ball game. Lamar moves it down the field but doesn’t score. DET beats the Ravens, but who freaking cares. We are FFLers. LO loses 127-133 because DMonty scored and neither team had him rostered. Crazy ending, great game!! Words not usually associated with an AintReba contest🤣😂.

Week 4 is coming up fast! As usual, make the moves, make the trade, pray to the FFL Gods. And always remember, if you can’t run em up, fill em in. Wise words. Until next week,….

Welcome to Week 2, where dreams begin to die, slowly, painfully and inevitably. Or not! Some teams are hot to start the season, most are meh, and then there is the bottom feeders. But there is plenty of time to chance your fate (hopefully). Burrow is out, Purdy is a maybe, JDan is banged up, Hurts can’t throw, AJones is done, and the Cowboys made Russ look like 26 year old Tom Brady! But new bodies take their place and the game rolls on. Just like in This Is Serious Business! Let’s get to it…

LO looking for her longest win streak in the modern era, 2 games. Cats looking to go undefeated despite barely scoring from the QB and TE positions. Burrow, as noted above, injured and scores 7. But Fields outdid him in this Sunday. Injured, 3 points. Gibbs went off while Jeanty looks like a bust. Puka ran all over the place with 27 and JSN tried to rally with 18., for the Cats. But Warren hauled in 11 while JJ McCarthy has made all Vikings worthless, Hockenson 2. Good play from both teams on ST/D. Final score 112-92. WINNING STREAK for LO and lots of soul searching for the Kitties.

Nizz vs AintReba in the CountyFair Bowl! These two country bumpkins squared off in the middle of a pasture, one driving his new tractor the other hanging off the plow disk humming a Shania tune. This battle turned quickly into a slaughter. For Nizz- 26, 12, 36, 10,16, 16. 11. JChase had no trouble without JoeCool pulling in the 36 (AintReba had 26 from Lamar, 18 from the resurgent Ertz and 16 by Etienne (who she should have traded, just sayin). But this week was over before it really even started. Final 169-111. AintReba goes to 0-2 as usual😂

Pigg at DFUN in the first Ffffaaaaaaaaammmmmiiiilllllyyyyy Fffffeeeeeuuudddddd of the year! Pigg had his best game of the year despite Jaylin Daniel’s coming up gimpy. Saquon ran for 17, THigg 14, Tyreek, 17 and THE BRANDON AUBREY with 30 freaking points!!! The Commish countered with 19 from Baker, 18 by Bucky, 20 actually caught passes by CeeDee and Malik tore up the Cowboys D with 9 catches for 167 yards and 2 TDs. That would be the difference in this domestic violence case. DFUN remains unlossed, 129-116. Pigg falls to 0-2, as usual.

TBIAC heads to the Country Club to duel, gentlemanly, with Big Diesel. Not much of a game. JCook 26, JWill 25, Deebo scampered for 17 and waiver wire hero TKraft 24 in BDs home stadium. DLondon failed with 5, Hampton failed harder with 3 and everyone else was pretty good for TBIAC. But pretty good doesn’t get it done this week. Final score 144-104. Diesel revenges a painful week one loss while the Capt heads back to the think tank and some soul searching.

Week 3 starts soon, so hit the waivers,make a trade, put in that rookie and let it ride! DFUN and LO are 2-0, Reba and Pigg are 0-2, and everyone else is middling. The next few weeks are when a few front runners start to distance themselves from the pack, be in that group, or start making space on the mantle for the most beautiful trophy in all FFL land, the Sacko! Good night and good luck!

Th weekly blog has finally been fixed (blame the. Mom ish, 5e so called computer expe4t, not this intrepid reporter!). http://www.seriousbusinessffl.com is the site.
