Trash or Treasure

It happens every year. One team’s trash is another team’s treasure. Staying true to form, this Commish is accountable for his actions. Mac Jones? Treasure. Brock Purdy who? I gave Day Spa shit about Mac Attack, but 279 and 3 TD passes is a diamond in the ruff. Cooper Kupp had a much better day, 7 for 90, but still trash. Justin Fields? Trash for Pittsburgh, looks like trash for the Jets. DK back-to-back 8-point weeks. Rubbish. Javonte Williams? Wasn’t a heaping pile of compost for the Broncos but looking like recycled copper tubing in Dallas. Nick Chubb? Used condom. Joe Flacco? Slightly used handkerchief at best. Austin Ekeler? Old pair of tighty-whities that I threw away a couple years ago after that mishap with the baby shrimp chimichanga from Ixtapa that I left on the counter overnight and proceeded to eat for breakfast the next morning.

Around the NFL – Week 2

Steelers with back-to-back “revenge” games. Week 1 Rodgers vs Jets. Week 2 DK vs Hawks. Week 1 went to Pittsburgh. Week 2 to the Hawks. Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh faced off for the 10^th time as NFL head coaches. Carroll had the edge before Monday Night 5-4. Now all tied at 5 wins apiece. Overall, including Stanford vs USC, Harbaugh is 7-6. It’s only week 2, right? Who cares? Since the 1970 NFL merger, teams that started the season 0-2 made the playoffs only 10.1% of the time. Teams that start the season 1-1, odds for making the playoffs increase to 44.5%. Patrick Mahomes 0-2 for the first time in his NLF career. You know what I miss about the NFL recap? The Bill Belichick countdown to breaking Don Shula’s all-time wins record. Where did we leave off? 26-wins to tie? Interestingly there were several head coaching vacancies this off-season. One opening in particular featured a minority owner in which Belichick won 6 Super Bowls within a 20-year span that featured 249 wins. Any guesses who that owner was? Instead that team went with a 74-year-old coach with a lifetime .585 winning percentage, with one super bowl ring. Hmm. Not a good week to be a QB in week 2. We already had CMC give Brock Purdy bacterial vaginosis in week 1. This week the Papillomavirus ran rampant among QBs with 4 more starting QBs developing various vaginal impairments. Day Spa stat of the week. The New England Patriots hadn’t won a game against Tua. Moss Head stat of the week. Baker Mayfield had 9 consecutive losses in primetime. Wipe both of those slates clean. You see Day Spa. Still rainbows and unicorns. Not even going to bring up TreyVeon at number 41 ranked fantasy RB. It wouldn’t be prudent at this juncture. Revisiting the Colts impressive consecutive scoring drive record from last week. This week they became the first team in NFL history to score on their first 10 consecutive drives to start the season. And a bonus stat for the Colts as they become the first team in the Super Bowl era to go punt-less in their first 2 games. Super Bowl! Daniel “Indiana” Jones? On the flipside the Miami Dolphins defense gave up 13 consecutive scoring drives if you include the last game of 2024. The only thing that stopped it from being 14 consecutive drives was half-time. Yikes. Whimsical stat(s) of the week. The game between the Rams and Titans featured the oldest active number 1 pick, Matthew Stafford vs the newest number 1 pick, Cam Ward. This week featured many number one pick match ups. Jags vs Bengals. Burrow vs Lawrence. Lions vs Bears. Goff vs Williams. Cardinals vs Panthers. Murray vs Young.

THFFL Week 2 Recap – Don’t Believe the Hype

 It’s week 2. Come on, really? What are there 3 THFFL teams left undefeated? Half the league at 1-1 and 3 winless suckers? Take a deep breath everybody. Take your finger off the panic button. A very wise man once said, “Well, the first days are the hardest days, Don't you worry anymore. Cuz when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door.” We had some rebound performances. Most impressively Day Spa rebounding from the week 1 debacle of being the only double-digit scoring team, to the week 2 third most points with 156. James Cook leading the way with another stellar outing putting up a 28-spot. We already talked about the Mac Attack with an impressive 22 and Bo Nix proving he was worthy of a first-round pick with 21. Two more 20-point scorers with Etienne and Chase and Day Spa was well on their way to a laugher against MoroXcan 156-95 as MoroXcan switches places with Day Spa in week 2 being the only double-digit point scoring team on the docket. Only 3 double digit starters for MoroX, with a Russell Wilson 38-burger on the bench. Ouch. Day Spa advances to that all important 1-1 while MoroX remains winless. TWT rebounding in week 2 with the 2^nd most points slapping up 160, as they evened up Number 9s record on the season. Brandon Aubrey, kicker supreme, leading the way with 31, and CMC with what looks to be an improved prescription of Vagisil breaks the 20-point barrier for the first time since THFFL week 3 playoffs 2023. Not a misprint. A respective 128 from N9 in week 2 as they experienced some hardships with a Jayden injury and Geno Smith probably the only player to not have a career best game against the Chargers. Maybe 9 should have left Omarion for the Commish. Yes, was the start of my last jam, so here it is again. Another def jam, but since I gave you all a little something that I knew you lacked, they still consider me a new jack. All the critics you can hang 'em, I′ll hold the rope. But they hope to the Pope, and pray it ain't dope. Don’t believe the hype. Chuba Hubbard won the battle of the Chubb’s though. Where else are you going to get journalism like that but in the THFFL? The rebound of the week goes to Astral Cowboys though as they boomerang from a dismal 116 week 1 to post the week 2 high score of 164, of course against the Commish. The Commish’s 138 would have been good enough to defeat 5 other teams this week and tie one, but it was a mere bag of shells against the powerhouse Astral. For all intents and purposes, this game was over after Thursday Night with Astral sprinting out to a 44-2 lead on the shoulders of Love and Kraft. How about that for a Thursday Night stack? The Commish didn’t even see it coming. Pretty sneaky Astral. Pretty sneaky. The Commish went through the motions and got a valiant effort from Taylor with 36 and Walker with 20, but ultimately the Commish would need a couple of 30-burgers from Herbert and Evans in the Monday Night Double Header and at least one donut from Nico and/or Carlson. It was a scoring extravaganza for Astral with even the Pats special teams with a kick-off return tuddy to put the Commish out of his misery. The undefeated Rookies faced off in week 2 with the Scoob’s getting the victory over Rico to remain undefeated. This was the closest game of the slate, which went into the Monday Night double stack, with the balance of the game up for grabs. The Scoobs held a slim 14-point lead, and Rico needed CJ to work some bonus point magic, but instead Egbuka got in the endzone for the 3^rd time this season to put the game out of reach. Amon-Ra disputing the Commish’s early round-bust monicker showing out with 32. Rico stood strong and countered with 31 of his own from Nabers and 25 from Puka. Have I got Nabers? Have I got Nabers? All day and all night. A double tough loss for Rico with Ekeler out for the season. If you had Ekeler with the first ruptured ovary of the season, you’re going Sizzler! Scooby also with an unfortunate catastrophic blow, with Burrow’s bi-lateral bursa sac blistering on his beaver. Browning to the rescue. The Bengals got themselves a big Browning-beaver. And they’re going to show it off to their AFC North friends. Two teams that didn’t need a rebound coming off week 1 victories, both remained undefeated in Danger Russ and Toe Cheese. Danger Russ made short work of Reefer 150-122 with only 4 starters not reaching double digits. Goff back to 2024 form with a 34-burger and Bijan being Bijan. This team is stacked with two 20-plus bangers on the bench in Jones and Odunze. Reefer had a pedestrian day from his blue-chippers with only a kicker breaking the 20-point barrier. The only other 20-plus performer was Tua on the bench. Speaking of pedestrian performances, Saquon with not one starter reaching 20 points and also adding insult to injury, no pun intended, losing a QB in the loss. Usually, 0-2 is not a death sentence, but this 0-2 looking a little more along the lines of MoroXcan bleak than Moss Head bleak. Two for one parachute coupon? Believe it or not, this game was only an 18-point game heading into Monday Night Madness, but Saquon needed a McConkey miracle after Irving added 12 insurance points for Dorito Toes as they keep pace with Danger Russ atop the Indica. It's the same story the crow told me. It's the only one he know. Like the morning sun, you come and like the wind you go. Ain't no time to hate. Barely time to wait. Woah-oh, what I want to know, Where does the time go?
