In response to the question of 2 wins in a row being a streak, the great Canadien philosopher Shoresy said the above. Beautiful words, we can all agree. But the meaning was you get the dub anyway you can. Cheat, scratch, claw, or in one of our colleagues case…..stop playing terrible FFL. “ESPN breaking news alert music” LO has won again!!! Two in a row, and as we learned from Manager Lou Brown, that’s called a winning streak! Some people are used to winning, AintReba and TBIAC, but the rest of the league has struggled with putting wins together. But our litțle slugger did it! Let’s find out how in this weeks edition of This is Serious Business!
In the most apparent trap game in the history of FFL, Nizz came to town planning on helicoptering out with an easy W. And who would blame him? LO, still drunk on last weeks victory, was bound to fall back to earth and the pits of TISB, also known as FFL hell. But we allllll know what happened. Nizzle wasn’t prepared, was overconfident, and didn’t have a good game plan. LO was ready. AJBrown 23, Hurts 21, London 19 and Chase 12 to go with 28 from her special teams. Nizz countered with 28 from his K/Def. Cedee grabbed 16 and Love 25. Time Out, let’s time warp to the end of the game…. Team Governor Nathan Nizzle III Esq. stormed onto the field and fired his third coach of the season. Over a loss? Seems like an overreaction even from the Al Davis of the FFL. What happened? Oh yeah, forgot to mention the former head coach started Nick Chubb who hasn’t played since blowing his knee out last year and JTaylor who was injured and OUT prior to kickoff and Marvin Harrison concussed himself before scoring a point. Talk about overconfident!! LO wins, Nizz loses, and Jason Garret is back on the street looking for a job, and a ride home to Highland Park.
Week 6 had our Northern participant landing in Lil D and enter the hallowed halls of Courtney E Burke memorial stadium. This turf, though not frozen like Team Piggs, has seen some great football, not always from the home team. This week was no different except the Cats came to play! 140-120. Kyler sucked, Conner sucked, but Bijan, Diantae, Garret and JK didn’t. For Pigg, Mayfield was great, Dowdle some how got to double digits, Godwin exploded for 35 and Siebert kicked 15. Back and forth game, fighting and clawing for that one inch, and 14 points from the Bears D finished it for the home team! Good game, good win, tough loss. Pigg flies home before they close the airport due to blizzard conditions.
AintReba won again. Big D gave it a valiant effort, but goes down as the 6th victim of the tiny reckless driver this season. 158-141. Good news for BD is he scored the second highest points of the week. And lost.
And in the Sunday Night finale, DFUN loaded up everyone in his tiny electric car and headed south to Bernie Madoff coliseum to take on the Capt. On paper, this looked like another easy W for TBIAC. But the Commish had spent the previous days on the computer, signing up for FantasyPros, ProFantasy, FantasyforPros, and ProsdoFantasy and one fantasy site that turned out to be NOT football related (you can ask him about that). All the best nerd minds and keyboard gridironers came together and calculated the best possible team. Not sure what data was used, but it spit out a starting QB in one Dak Prescott and his $60 mil paycheck and his 3 total points. He did not get injured. He, like them ‘Boys just suck. WOW. But Deebo did what Deebo do, scores or gets hurt, this week he chose 20 points. DMonty 21, Amon 13, Boswell 17 and GB Def 12. TBIAC stat line didn’t look that good, especially for him. Evans 5, Moore 6 and Saquon 7. But breakout rookie Bowers caught 16, Kamara 17 and rookie sensation JDaniels 20. Fairbairn 12 and CLE D 14. When this intrepid reporter looked up at the scoreboard, two things stood out. The brain-trust of digital ballers started CRidley. What did they know? Some matchup scenario? Some inside knowledge gleamed from the intra-web? Ridley’s stat line- 8 targets 0 catches 1 rush 9 yards. Total…0.9 pts. Terrible call Coach! And the second choice may have been worse. Purdy and his 24 watched Dak fail over and over again. Worst call Coach. Final score 108-111. 3 point loss could have been easily won by DFUN and his geek squad. But it wasn’t.
As for salaries in the NFL and building winning teams…..
Ok, one third of the way into the season, AintReba is undefeated, followed closely by TBIAC, then everyone else is fighting to stay at or above .500 (though some say Pigg ain’t fighting very hard😂). Still plenty of time to get healthy, pick up a player or even, God forbid, make a trade. Week 6 is wrapped, 7 is coming quick. Let’s get ready to play some fake computer football!!!
