Week 7 or “”The odds aren’t good; the goods are odd” – Shoresy

Pumpkin Shoresy

I think the title sums up this season. LO is unstoppable, Nizzle is third in scoring and would be in last except Big Diesel has curled up there in the basement and is calling it home. Pigg is making a playoff run. AintReba could score 182 or 7 on any given week. TBIAC is TBIAC, solid. DFUN is falling back to his mean and the Cats have squeaked out some close ones without ever looking good. The “goods” are odd, but that’s FFL for ya. This is week 7 of This is Serious Business!!

Well, this one was a coin flip at kickoff. What AintReba team would show up? Would Diesel finally come off the slide? Reba with the high score of the week and Jason with NOT the lowest of the week. 152-108. When our Nashville Music Maker is making sweet FFL music she is tough to beat. When Diesel scores 108 he is easy to beat. And that’s what happened….again.

Nizzle started the week off with a puzzling move. Play BHall, who didn’t play, and sit Pollard and his 36. Interesting! But after all position players were done it was a virtual tie with the red hot Piggsters. But, in this league, special teams matter. A lot! Pigg put Reinhard and Pit into the game and the “Dominator” countered with Myers and the Jets. Wait, back up a second, the Jets?? WTF??? Yeah they were playing MIA but the Jets??? “Bold move Cotton, let’s see if it pays off”. It didn’t. 8 at K, -1 for DEF. Pigg on the other hand, 13 and 14. Ballgame. Pigg is at the door of the final 4 while Nizz is getting comfortable in the bowels of FFL hell!!

Steam rolled. The two 5-1 teams met up for the chance to take over the entire league! The Cats got distracted by a shiny object and a ball of yarn they thought was a football. LO was not interested in “play time” and proceeded to roll. 154-109. Never was it a game of cat and mouse as Vegas had predicted. Just mouse. In this case, the mouse was an Oompa Loompa with FFL murder on her mind. The cats limped home while LO celebrates first place all alone.

RIP

In the nightcap, TBIAC took on DFUN. Can the Commish put it back together? Is AI going to prove out? Is the Capt going to finally hit a cold streak? Not this week. 123-91. Not even a game. DFUN left Flowers and his 27 on the pine and yet it wouldn’t matter. Neither did TE Fannin’s 13 watching starter Likelys 3 . KC def with a zero? No backup, wouldn’t matter. TBIAC puts up another solid if not spectacular game and gets another W to go into second place tied with the Cats, who they play next week. Get your popcorn ready for that one!!!

Another week gone. It’s going real fast now! Top 4 is fluid at the last two positions as LO and TBIAC look like locks. The bottom, sorry Diesel, looks like a lock. Still plenty of time to make a move, a trade, an addition. Or get healthy, make good coaching decisions or give up😘. It ain’t over till it’s over, and we’ve seen crazy thing before! The “goods are odd” and the odds don’t matter in…..This is Serious Business!!!

Bench of the week award goes to….
