One week left in the Regular season and the “W’s” are hard to come by and playoff seating is taking shape. Satan, aka Nizzle02 is in, Pigg and LGB are fighting for 2nd, VM and TBIAC are fighting to remain in the bracket. Diesel and Laces Out still have a chance but will need a lot of help. Cats are out, DFUN and AintReba still in a scramble for last place and the #1 seed in the Sacko Bowl. Sooooo, a lot going on, wheels are turning and the pressure is rising quickly. Who’s going to step up in these last two regular season games (history does not favor LO)? Who is going to choke away a chance at the promised land (again LO)? But this is why we play the games! Lets see what happened last week and what it sets up for week 14….
LGB, fighting for the 2nd seed, fending off Pigg, needed a big W and got an even bigger L. Nizzle02, already clinched, showed off his dominance by NOT playing a QB and still winning by 63. Pollard 22, DAdams 29 and a ridiculous 42 from the CLE Def (wtf?) was waaaaayyyy too much for the end-of-season- collapsing LGB. Edwards continued to be a sleeper agent, scoring only 1, Walker III got hurt, Higbee is a TE, which means he sucks, 1, and worst of all, he didn’t have the CLE Def. Nizz continues to roll while LGB will be looking to end his horrific losing streak (1 in a row).
In a battle of “no one cares” the Commish greeted the Cats late Sunday night with “Condolences on your loss” with a lead and rookie superstar Olave yet to play. The Cats only had a TE (we know what that means) and Deebo playing with a 9th string QB. Not looking good. But the CeilingCats don’t quit (unlike LGB’s squad) and went to work. Deebo stole 6 big point to put the Cats up 1 with the MNF game to go. Olave vs TE Hill. Olave caught 65 from the Red Rocket. Hill then caught 35. And passed for 21. And rushed for 10. If you’re doing math in public, I’ll help out…it’s tied. Then Hill scored. Ball game Cats! The team then lifted their coach onto their shoulders and carried him off the field victoriously! Or something like that…
In an absolute must win for both teams, only one showed up. 126-80, the team from the frozen North rolled. 30 from Joe Cool, Watson continued his heater with 21 and GWilson caught 16. The Capt was done as soon as Lamar went down with an injury and KingHenry stumbled for 3. Reeeeeaaaaallll hard to rally from that start. So Pigg should have a fairly relaxing week 14 while TBIAC will have a few sleepless nights trying to put his team back together in time to make the Winners Bracket.
Laces Out, trying to stop a late season slide hosted Hollywood Leading Man, Vina-Mites. Again, both need the win to have a chance. But, again, only one showed up to play. 133-90, LO’s streak continues. For the West Coast Wonder, Hurts 34, Saquon 14, St Brown snagged 23 and K Gould booted 12. LO watched Herbert fail again, Ekeler didn’t score a TD and Waddle pulled off a big fat zero. VM will go into the finale fighting for a seat at the table. LO will put the blindfold back on and set up next weeks roster.
Big Diesel, in a must win, gets the cellar dweller, AintReba in a fortuitous matchup. The Siren of Signal Calling hasn’t won a game in about three years. Almost sounds like a trap game. It was. AintReba tripled her weekly average by scoring 98 points behind DK’s 18, Samaji’s 15 and Gallup with 15. Diesel’s team came in overconfident and badly coached! Kittle struggled with the 9th string QB, Thielen is old, Cooper was Cooper and Mahomey was a mere mortal. Painful game to watch for us and even more painful for BD to watch his playoff hopes and dreams crushed by a team that has 4 empty spots on her roster, but for some reason has decided to keep Jamycal Hasty on the team. 🤔 but a win is a win, or for Diesel…..welcome to the Sacko Bowl!
Week 14 is upon us. The regular season is ending and playoff season is coming up quickly. As a refresher, the top 4 go to the Winners Bracket and play week 15 and 16. Nobody really cares because this league is alllll about the Sacko, the most beautiful trophy in all make believe sports competitions!! The seeding is different but amazing. 10 and 9 are the top seeds and will get a bye the first week (don’t worry, this is not an advantage). The other 4 will play week 15 with the 2 winners exiting the Loser tournament. The losers of week 15 will play 10 and 9 in week 16, with the winners again exiting. Leaving the two absolute worst teams to tickle fight for the Sacko Championship. Winner exits and the loser takes home the hardware (in AintReba’s case, just go home and dust it off for another off season).
Week 14 outlook- Nizz is #1. Pigg and LGB at 8-5 , VM and TBIAC 7-6. Pigg plays AintReba, so he should (?) go to 9-5. Diesel will look to spoil LGB’s dreams and put him at 8-6, or win and go to 9-5. In the big one, VM hosts TBIAC with the winner going 8-6 and the loser joining the rest of us in the bracket of shame! Then when the scores are over and the wins are tallied up, the Commish will have to go to the tie breaker rules…Points scored. Currently Pigg has 1406, LGB 1375, VM 1440 and TBIAC 1352. So these teams need to win and win BIG! 14 weeks all coming down to the last second and maybe even the last point! This is why we play the game….
