Week 2 or “This is so Dumb”

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…

The Draft and Week 1 of This is Serious Business FFL, year 14…or “Settle Down”

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…
