Thunderlips Busted Up Brian’s Win Streak!!
All the other players were Green with envy as AJ scored more points than five other players on the Thunderlips Express. Yet Brian made his best effort to lose as well and had seven players score below their projected totals. Still, even these two lackluster performances were not bad enough for the Weak of the Week. Tu caught up to the lucky winning coach.
Tu: Well, coach, you were quite lucky this week.
Dman: A win is a win Tu.
Tu: True but this was the lowest score yet for your team. Aren’t you concerned that your team is falling apart.
Dman: No! Sometimes you have bad week, but I still scored higher than 50% of the league.
Tu: You bench the player with your second highest score for the week, your hot new running back is gone for the season, and you have no good secondary running back. Are you sure you are not limping into the end of the season?
Dman: Shut up, Tu!
Weak of the Week
Fresh off their win against the Thunderlips Express, the Levellers flatten another team with play-off hopes. It was another strong performance from Johnson and Hilton to lead the Levellers to the Tebow win. While Team Sandcastle had their many points bearers washed out to sea by a trio of byes.
Freak and Peak of the Week
Partisan bickering reached a peak this week and was Merciless in drubbing the Monsters. The Warriors had four players above twenty points, while the Monsters had three players score a total of three points and one of those was their quarterback.
Bleak of the Week
Despite Brandon trying to Marshall his team to a win with 36 points, the rest of the team Scorned him as they all scored at or below their projected points. Tu talked with Coach Jaybird after the loss.
Tu: {Chuckle} You are fading fast from the play-offs coach. Anything to say about Tebow’s Intangibles now?
Jaybird: It ain’t over until it’s over.
Tu: And good hitting always beats good pitching?
Jaybird: I wasn’t going for that cliché as much as for the whole “I’m on the bubble, I’ve got some good, quality wins, and I’m capable of making some deep runs in the post-season.”
Tu: Well, your back is against the wall.
Jaybird: I’m just going to treat the next few like any other game and I know that it’s do or die and if we don’t bring smashmouth football, we’ll be anywhere but behind the eight-ball.
Tu: Um, what?
Jaybird: We just have to stick to our gameplan.
Tu: I mean, what will that mean for the playoffs.
Jaybird: Let everyone else scream and dally about for a clinched spot. We’re going to get the wild card and, like Tim Tebow showed all of us, we’re going to orchestrate a comeback like you won’t believe.
Tu: And when you get to a fork in the road, take it?
: All the way to Game 7.

I really, really want to do some “We’re number 1!” smack talking, but I’m aware that Burt is going to beat me this week and Just Me is going to do so next week.Report
I sure hope so, but that is an intimidating lineup you’ve got. And I already missed Delanie Walker.Report
Yeah, that turned out to be about what I thought it would.
Tod’s score this week is the fourth-highest of the season for any team and his best to date. (Kazzy got 188 points in week 2. JustMe got 192 points in week 5. And bill (The Levellers) got 184 points in Week 9. )
I won’t be surprised if Tod’s defeat of me gets the “royal beatdown of the week” award. Three bad start/bench calls — Delanie Walker, Anquan Boldin, and Jarret Boykin combined for 63 points on my bench, but instead I played Marvin Jones, Roddy White, and Justin Cameron, who gave me a combed 23. But even that wouldn’t have mattered: my optimal score would not have been enough to prevail against our Almighty Tod.
Frustrating to note that my score this week was pretty damn good despite start/bench mistakes, and that I would have beat 11 other teams this week, but them’s the breaks.Report
That was me two weeks ago facing that 184 mentioned. This week Sandcastle and I are going for the Weak of Week. I hope his last guy underperforms like the rest of his team…..Report
Yeah, that was a pretty damn good week for WWJD.Report
I have no shame having the 9th most points but 2nd best record. I clearly pitch to the score. Or something.Report
My good hitting has still turned out four losses….
Thankfully my lack of pitching last week was still enough to win.Report
