Lots of injuries and bye weeks, very little usefulness on the wire. But ya gotta battle through it bud! Some did, some did not. Some came out firing, some crept back in on the final two-minute drive. Either way, FFL is a marathon, not a sprint. Playoff seeding is being battled for and of course, the Sacko tourney is being set, some teams are all ready there! But at least no one has Daniel Jones starting (do they?). Let’s get to week 10 in This Is Serious Business….

AintReba won again. Scoring well below her 289 pt average (130) but still won. The Capt seems to have one FFL weak spot…AintReba. We will see more of these two later this season.

Are we really talking about this? 17 years as Commish of TISB and DFUN has never ventured into the Valhalla of the winners bracket. Is this the year? Fantrax said it is. FanTrax also said Pig had the #1 draft class. Time will tell, but this reporter (and degenerate, soon to be derelict gambler) knows where this weeks panhandling money is going… Vegas Baby!! Team Pig has no love for his sorta bro in law and showed it with a season high 104. But, as Pig’s season has gone, we know the outcome 122-104. Really….DFUN in the playoffs…PLAYOFFS??

Looks like the Nizz coach (brand new after last weeks firing) can start looking for an extended stay motel. 118-88 over Big Diesel. this game felt a lot like a certain “boxing” match that happened recently. One competitor fighting a muuuuuch inferior opponent and shocking the world by not throwing a single punch, letting the young internet star take the win. I’m not saying money was exchanged, or the FFL game was rigged… but I am.

And in the game of the Century (depends on who you are), the little LO’S came to PetSmart Stadium to fight her bitter rival, the Cats. While cruising in the Caribbean, LO dropped a 55 pt Thursday. No big deal, how many players did she have. One, Fuck. (Exact conversation had while drinking the fourth Rum punch by the Cats head Coach). How do recover from that? Ya gotta play through it bud!! Kyler kept up with Hurts, Conner beat AJones, Bijan exploded for 29, and Minny D sacked 21. But before MNF kickoff the Cats had changed the mountain to climb to a slightly less tall mountain to climb. Down 29 with the twin Ram WRs left to play. Halftime-Kupp 8, Puka 5. 3rd quarter over, Kupp 8, Puka 11. You can see how this is going! Puka scores, Kupp goes 7 catches for 90. 156-152 game over. The greatest comeback in alllll of FFL history, right before our eyes. We will all remember where we were that night. At least till next week.

Week 10 is done, recovery and celebrations are winding down as week 11 is coming at us like a fantasy freight train. Get some sleep, eat your vitamins and say your prayers BRUTHAs! This Is Serious Business!!!

Some eloquent words that ABSOLUTELY do not apply to any team in This is Serious Business! AintReba bought a full page ad in the Denton Record Chronicle posting her undefeatedness. Nizz fired another coach. DFUN has been heard talking about the playoffs. The Cats blame the FFL gods. LO blames herself and bad luck, as she should. Diesel got a tattoo of his roster on his entire back. TBIAC quietly high fived someone after a win. And Pigg, he went hunting, imagining each tiny baby deer was a FFL victory to bag. But, that is what we are. Devious, colluding, competitive governors of the football fantasy battleground. This is why TISB is the best league in the world! Or at least Texas….maybe North Texas. Probably the best in Denton? Maybe…..Lets rolllllll that beautiful bean footage…

153-63. The FanTrax #1 draft class has fallen short once again. That and TBIAC is on an absolute heater. That’s about all I got on this brutal beatdown.

This game was over at halftime! A revenge game for the Cats against the hated Dallas socialite. And the Cats were ready! Dobbins 24, Bijan 21, Kuuuuuuuup 21, and Garrett Wilson 30. Nizz fought back, weakly, with 4 from Chubb, 2 from the flash-in-a-pan Pitts, and 3 from the overrated rookie Harrison Jr. it was 124-63 with only DST left. Could Nizz shock the world?? No. 25-23 from the Def and K. Cats scratch out a much needed win while Nizz fired another coach (how many more coaches are there?)

In the game of the week, two playoff contenders and hated rivals faced off in Brown Town stadium in the heart of Lewisville. Both needing a win, neither able to absorb a loss, these two warriors went at each other from the opening kickoff! DFUN sent out Achane 32, JJeff 21, Amon 18, Kelce 22 and Nabers, despite Danny Dimes throwing the ball, 14. Big Diesel counterpunched with Walkers 13, Treek 16, Zay Flowers(?) 29, Devontae 22 and Mahomie finally scoring points with 24. This one came down to the DST as we’ve seen so many times this season. The Commish kicked 4 from Lutz and BD followed with 7. Then Diesel put out the Bal D and tackled 12 points. So it’s down to the LAC D to win or lose this epic battle. 24 huuuuuuuuge points later, the Commish was carried off the field in celebration while Big D sat slumped on the sidelines, sobbing and looking for property back in California where the government runs the FFL and allows only ties so no one’s feelings get hurt. FFL in Texas is brutal, like this loss.

Annnnnd in the Catfight of the week, AintReba hosted LO at the Broken Spoke Stadium. 125-106 final. Reba continues on her historic run. LO does what she does. Wins some, losses some. Good game from our tiny little ballers, and the absolute #1 meme of the week!!

Week 9 is complete. Painful losses, Big D, easy wins, TBIAC, and someone is still unlossed. Just a few weeks to make that push for playoff seating or to prepare for the gauntlet that is the Sacko Bowl. Three games, end of the season, players sitting out, players hurt, nothing to trade, nothing on waivers, it’s why it’s the most difficult trophy in the FFL to take home (unless your AintReba, then the Sacko just follows you home at the end of EVERY season. Do you want to go through that, or make the winners bracket? We will see who wants it , and who will go get it!!!

Short wrap up this week. The mounting losses for this brave fantasy journalist is taking its toll. More good play, more bad play and more dominance from Reba and TBIAC. Pigg is holding up the bottom of the standings quite well though😂 And the Cowboys (especially Jerry) suck. To be continued….

Despite 22 years of FFL failure, the Commish is quietly putting together a nice season. Boasting one of the best WR groups in the league definitely helps (JJeff, Amon, Nabers). While the Cats keep falling and rising and falling again. 143-127 W for DFUN. Good game, good win, painful loss.

Week 8 is wrapped. Same story as the previous weeks. AintReba and TBIAC on top, Pigg and now LO fighting for last and the rest fighting for the two playoff spots left. See ya next week and the Cowboys suck!
