Trash or Treasure

It’s a travesty that Drake Maye hasn’t made this segment yet. This guy is 14 carat gold. Mark my words, he is going to make everyone in New England forget the name Tom Brady. He’s already doing things Tom Brady never did like posting a 91.3% completion rate. I predict 10 Super Bowl rings for Maye in the next 15 years. Unstoppable. Unprecedented. Unbelievable. They are going to rename the Hall of Fame in Canton to Drake Maye Hall. How about three name Seattle WR JSN? Only one week without double digit fantasy points, with 3 consecutive 20+ performances. X marks the spot. A pirate’s booty. If we’re gonna be fair Saquon Barkley is smelling a little rancid. Only one 20-point fantasy output this season and back-to-back single digit duds. You’re welcome, Je Ne. Now that the Commish has dubbed Saquon as trash, you’ll get a 40-burger this week. Guaranteed. Alvin Kamara, put on your hazmat suit and join the trash party. Five consecutive weeks of single digit scoring and only two 11 pointers in weeks 1 and 2. Didn’t this guy score 6 tuddies on Christmas Day?

Commish Confession

Okay. I’m gonna come clean. You see, I genuinely don’t want the teams I root for to be successful. I prefer for them to suck and bring me misery year after year after year. That’s my schtick. I love to complain about how unlucky a sports fan I am and elaborate on how horrible it is to have my heart consistently broken. I mean, what would I write about if all my teams were great and won championships? That would be horrific. Who wants to be that fan where your sports teams are competent, successful and form dynasties? So boring. Yawn. 28 World Championships? Ho-hum. Stupid. 8 Super Bowls? Please. Wake me up when it’s all over. Much more interesting to wallow in complacency. Wade in mediocrity. Divulge in disaster. You see the greatest trick the Goocher pulled was convincing the world he was a Goocher. I had a dream, oh yeah, crazy dream, oh ho. Anything I wanted to know. Any place I needed to go. Hear my song, yeah. People, don't you listen now? Sing along, oh. You don't know what you're missing now.

Around the NFL – Week 7

We talked about revenge games last week and it seems the NFL has a way of putting one on the schedule every week. Vrabel and the Pats vs the Titans. Carson Wentz vs the Eagles. Next week Aaron Rodgers vs the Packers. Vrabel got the last laugh against the Titans as the Pats rolled once again and looking like the best team in the AFC on both sides of the ball. The Colts are frauds. Trust me. Who would you rather have leading your troops? Daniel Jones or Drake fucking Maye? Flacco fever is spreading faster than Covid. The latest outbreak was reported in Cinncy. 347 and 3 TD passes? You kidding me? Thursday night football this week was sponsored by Geritol with Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco. Mike Tomlin still needs 5 wins to keep his 19 consecutive winning season streak intact. The Steelers do have the Chargers left on the schedule, so make that 4 wins for the streak. This was an amazing stat. The Chiefs shutout the Raiders this week and that marked Andy Reids first ever career regular season shutout. That seems odd. Somebody fact check that please. Speaking of fact checking, can Trump please do something about the Washington Commanders? I want the Redskins back before Thanksgiving. I’m tired of this woke agenda. Let’s get the National Guard patrolling every major city in the United States and stop these liberal retards from ruining our sacred democracy. And can we please stop singing the Canadian national anthem at sporting events. This is ‘Merica. Red, white and blue! Take your pathetic Maple Leaf flag and go back to your socialist country. And you suck at hockey too. The Chargers are scouting the buffet line at the Golden Corral looking for their next offensive tackle. If you’re pushing 3-bills, have a double chin, can bend forward and put one hand on the ground without falling over, you’re hired. The Browns broke their 11-game consecutive streak of scoring 17 points or less as they broke out for 31 points against the Dolphins. Davante Adams has now caught TD passes in 28 different venues. That’s 3^rd to Jerry Rice (33) and Randy Moss (32).

THFFL Week 7 Recap – Half-Way Home

The THFFL regular season has surpassed the half-way mark with ironically the London Games kicking off what was to be a Sunday Bloody Sunday. I can't believe the news today. I can't close my eyes; make it go away. How long? How long must we sing this song? How long? How long? It was a bloodbath, to say the least with three games off to a lopsided start with the real battle yet begun. Toe Cheese opened up a 51-0 lead vs the Astral Cowboys riding a career day from Stafford with 5 TD passes and 24 points from discount double check on Thursday Night. But the Irish never give up, and Astral would not let the blood shed be in vain. He rallied his troops on the sidelines. Broken bottles under children's feet. Bodies strewn across the dead-end street. I won't heed the battle call. It puts my back up, my back up against the wall. A comeback for the ages for Astral. Briskett with another 20-point output, and Javonte and Gibbs combining for 56. Astral going into Monday Night down 41 points needed every ounce of Gibbs’ 36-burger, and he got 2 crucial points from Collins and a six-pack from the Bucs to pull off the 2-point victory. Impressive indeed. Both teams at 4-3 heading into week 8. The second bloodbath featured Danger Russ cruising out to a 52-5 lead with four quarters worth of garbage points from Lawrence for 18, of course the first double-digit game from Hunter as he breaks out against the Commish for 19 and Tee Higgins season high 15. The Commish needed a Monday Night miracle down 45 with Evans, K9 and Jameson, but a double-donut from the WRs and a half-dozen from Walker was a mere bag of shells as Russ countered with 21 from Bijan and 13 from the Texans D enroute to a 178-126 laugher. Russ now at 6-1, best record in the THFFL after 7 weeks. Blood-bath number 3 featured the Grim Reefer jumping out to a 49-0 lead over Rico riding the coat tails of 18 Thursday Night Warren points and 21 Davante points in London. And the battle's just begun. There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trench is dug within our hearts. Mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart. Uncle Rico rallied with another impressive Dart-Skattebo rookie 48-point combo, but the Greefer had the Lamb and Rice stew counter to thwart the Rico comeback, and the Reef hold on for the narrow 135-131 victory. Reefer improving to 3-4. Rico now at 4-3. TWT is back in contention at 3-4 with the weekly high score of 179, handing the Scoobs only their second loss of the season. TWT got big games from CMC, AJ and Mahomes as they combine for 86 points and kicker supreme Aubry added another 25 spot. Big day all around for the TWT starters as Doobs struggled to get rolling with only one starter reaching 20 points, in Drake Maye. And look at Day Spa, taking down Number 9 to improve to 5-2, tied with Scoobs for the 2^nd best record. This game was close for most of Sunday morning, but then Bo Nix downright exploded for a 41-burger in essentially the last quarter of the game as the Broncos scored 33 points in the 4^th quarter propelling Day Spa to the win. Chase and JSN combined for 46 and the only blemish in the starting lineup was a bagel from TreVeyon. N9 getting bit by the injury bug with both starting QBs having to leave early, and with half the roster in single digits, it was tough to hang with Day Spa in this one. Last but not least congratulations to MoroXcan as they get off the schneid with their first victory of the season with a little help from the generous Saquon. The victory by MoroXcan keeps intact the long-standing tradition of a Moss Head Commish run league where there has never been a winless team. That’s good karma vibes right there! Prescott and Hurts keep balling for MoroXcan. Imagine if they only had a minor supporting cast. The sky could’ve been the limit for MoroX. Chris Olave siting. Chad Ryland and Zach Chardonay were the leading scorers for Saquon at 16 apiece. Enough said. Both teams evened up at 1-6. Tired of lying in the sunshine. Staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun.
