Ahhhh Yeahhhh! The air is much better up here in the middle of the pack no? Yes. That's right ladies and germs PW is Movin' on up! Please be so kind as to clicky the brief musical interlude so's you can also enjoy my little reverie.
&feature=related
Yes indeed. Tis a fine thing when a plan starts coming together and now to see my little Odd Squad going out there and beginning to really put on a show. Well, it does my heart good. And now to really top things off a one Mr. Steve Smith is joining the Odd Squad along with Tashard Choice's running mate Felix (maybe I'll stay healthy for at least one game this year) Jones! Good times. I now have global MoFo domination firmly in my sights and all I need is for everyone that plays me from here on out to simply score less points than I and I'll be in business. Deal? Sweet.
And now onto more important things as our cute little Badger already pointed out PW swung and missed on his game between Gadsden and the Hired Goons. Oh well, nobodies perfect. I am however pretty damn close I reckon. I'm not even getting tired of this yet either. How cool is that? Long story short it was another 5-2 week for me and by my count I stand at 24-11. Not bad, not bad at all. Obviously we need a sportsbook.
What's that you say? Who's going to win this week? Well, allow me to retort.
PW's Odd Squad vs 11 Angry Men
Oh boy. So here I am faced with the choice of taking my little Odd Squad who are obviously not going to lose another game all year and the Angry Men who are on a spectacular roll and while they may not be quite as angry as they once were (because of the winning you know) they are still just rolling along and basically just dismantling every team they have played with the exception of one week so far. And yet, they won that game too. What to do, what to do. If I just look at the matchups it appears on paper that I have a pretty favorable schedule compared to Yoda and yet this season has proven more so than maybe any year I can remember that the NFL is the most unpredictable league, like, ever. So, I'm predicting that whoever scores the most points in our little game will win. Easy Peasy Japaneasy.
My pick: 11 Angry Men, unless I score more points... then I win. Yeah.
DaBears vs. Flash
DaBears fresh off a win last week look to continue their winning ways this week against team Flash. Flash has several key guys on bye this week, including Peyton Manning who looks to be perhaps the MVP of the NFL as of right now. Tough luck buddy. Yahoo has DaBears as the heavy favorite and rightly so. Flash is making some nice moves though and his recent addition of Bell may help him quite bit down the road and perhaps this week as well because its possible Bell will see some goal line work instead of Thomas for New Orleans, which would make me happy because I have to face Thomas this week. Still though I don't think it will be enough but may make the game a lot more interesting than Yahoo is predicting it right now.
My pick: DaBears = Sausage and Ditka
Hired Goons vs. The Taterators
Interesting Game. Hired Goons has put a nice little 3 game winning streak of his own put together after starting off 0-2 and now is right in the thick of things, The Taters are still vying for their first win of the season. Could this be the week? Tater is getting some more running back help from Team Tongo and he also has Ryan Grant on his bench who could provide the spark he needs to get over the proverbial hump. Hard to pick against a streak though.
My pick: Hired Goons, "Gooney Goo Goo Gus!"
Gadsden Flag vs. I-L-M-F
F%@# Sims- Walker! Was the cry heard around the basements and ground floor apartments where most fantasy footballers reside. And yet Gadsden Flag is still right in the middle of things so all is not lost. While on the flipside Bobby's free fall continues. While I appreciate that he does appear to take the time to at least update his roster before Sunday I'm afraid that just isn't going to be good enough to make any noise in this very competitive league. If he doesn't start making some moves he may be awarded the first ever Cone of Shame award.
My pick: Gadsden Flag, in the dark
The Replicants vs. TONGO
What can be better for an ailing team than a week versus team TONGO and his ever changing lineup? The 'Bots get most of their guys back this week and are big favorites right now without Megatron who may or may not play on Sunday. We probably won't know until right before game time but Seds may not even need him, we'll see. TONGO's team will look quite a bit different (again!) by Sunday so Seds may do a little tweaking of his own to adjust.
My pick: 'Bots, back in the saddle again
Team Darcy vs. Slug's Sweeties
Oh yeah, now this is what fantasy football is all about! Wives not speaking to their husbands. Uncomfortable silences. Steely stares and lots of cold rooms. Sluggo looks to keep on the winning track but to do so he'll have to take out his lovely wife who is absolutely rolling folks. We'll know by Sunday if Darcy's silent treatment game plan worked, if Slug suddenly benches half his team in order to allow Team Darcy to waltz to 6-0. I'm not holding my breath, unless perhaps she goes so far as to spike Sluggo's Taco Bell taco sauce and in a fit of delirium, he cuts half his team. She may not have to however because judging by Slug's new avatar he's already got his mind firmly set on Thanksgiving and turkey so she may very well get past him by blackmailing him with the threat of no turkey for T-day. We shall see, we shall see.
My pick: Team Darcy, biscuits and gravy!
Wolverines vs. Beantown Champs
Last week Beantown mentioned that he was piloting a sinking ship. Maybe, maybe not. Things don't get any easier for him this week that's for certain. Wolvie's heavy hitters are all pretty much back this week and are looking to keep themselves firmly planted in the 3 hole in hopes that perhaps Team Darcy or the 11 Angry Men drop a game.
My pick: Wolverines, "It's kind of strange, isn't it? How the mountains pay us no attention at all. You laugh or you cry... The wind just keeps on blowing." - Jed Eckert
And there you have it MoFo's, be kind and rewind!
