Thunderlips Scorns opponent and Expresses themselves with a win!!
The Express looked like a bullet train as they ran over the Intangible points put up by their opponent. Four players scored over 20 points and two of those over 30. On the other side of the ball, only four players scored in the double digits. To make matters worse, the stud running back only scored one more point that Tebow. All this added up the Peak and Freak of the Week with Thunderlips gaining the high score of 165 point and the blowout of 71 points. Our intrepid reporter, Tu Nosi, was able to catch up with both coaches.
Tu: A good bounce back win from last week’s lost coach. Hopefully, it is not a dead cat bounce.
Dman: Thanks… I think. Just had to bring up the loss last week, huh?
Tu: Just stating a fact coach. I was curious about you trying the offensive style that is sweeping the LOOG league and not playing with the full nine man roster. Care to comment?
Dman: {Sigh} That was a mistake. I thought Jacobs was going to be able to play through injury. I forgot how big of a pansy he is when he has a boo-boo.
Tu: It was lucky your other players made up from your mistake. Do you plan on a similar mistake this week?
Dman: Of course not! You are really starting to bug me, Tu, with all the negative questions!
Tu: What was that? Sorry coach, I see coach Jaybird and you did not have anything more worthwhile to say, did you? Good.
Dman: Grrrrrrr!
Tu: Coach Jaybird, A word if I may. Tough loss again this week.
Jaybird: It’s only a loss if you look at the scoreboard.
Tu: I imagine that that’s true. Where else would I look?
Jaybird: In flipping channels the other night, I stumbled across a bunch of dudes arguing about football and one of them put together a chart talking about the best things in the NFL. Do you know what Number One was?
Tu: Tim Tebow?
Jaybird: No, but I like the way you think. He said that the Broncos Offense was the best thing in the NFL despite the loss on Sunday because even when everything went wrong, they still scored 33 points.
Tu: And this applies how?
Jaybird: Oh, Tu. Even when everything went wrong, we still scored 94 points. We’re going to be okay. Things will start looking up soon.
Tu: Not to be fatalist or anything but we’re pretty much at the halfway point in the season by now…
Jaybird: You know who else decided that the halfway point in the season was the time to shine?
Tu: Tim Tebow?
Jaybird: I like the way you think.
Squeak of the Week
The Levellers tried to Initiate their opponent into the tie club but failed by one point. Snelling was smelling like a terrible choice to place in the running back slot. Still, all he had to do is double his points for a tie.
Weak and Reek of the Week
In a duel of similar philosophies, both teams tried the Nine, Ten, Eleven offensive strategy and were quite offensive with the lack of production for even those players they deemed to put onto their team for the week. Still, the Monsters were Merciless as they channel their inner Tebow, scored the second fewest points, and played the team with the lowest number of points, team Rocking the Donut.
The Oracle Update:
Another terrible week for the Oracle as two more teams were lost for the season. The Anointed Ones have now Fallen from grace with their latest lost. Where somehow 40 points from Vincent Jackson was not enough for a win! And Team Sandcastle easily repels the lackluster assault of Acme, who Packed their bench with 106 points of missed opportunities.

Peek of the Week – The LOOG Week in Review would like to apologize for the lack of insight from our resident Expert this week. The move to Guadalajara is taking longer than expected, but be assured we are working at a frantic pace to bring the Expert that you know and love back to the pages!
ARGH EVERYBODY ON MY TEAM IS ON A BYE THIS WEEK!!!!!Report
Dude, that’s bad personnel management. Mark Ingrham is more useful next week than Peyton Manning. Bye week management starts with the draft.Report
Be generous; let JB add Tebow this week.Report
There are competing philosophies on this. One philosophy is to draft the best available players with bye weeks in mind. The other is to just draft the best available players and take the hit when that fatal bye week hits. However, there are some leagues which require owners to fielda complete roster every week, which forces you to pay attention to byes at the draft. Those leagues suck.Report
I do like to try and keep my bye week in mind during the draft, but if the players that I could get is soooooo much better than the next alternative, I still go with bye week hell.Report
Ah ha! I have done something right this year. Go me! 🙂Report
Yes, it sucks when you have a bunch of the same buy weeks. I tried to mitigate that and was able to do it reasonably well. Still, you get past this week and then you have very few buy to deal with.Report
No mention of Team Pooh Bear trading away Matt Stafford, Jordan Cameron, and Roy Helu, Jr. for the on-a-bye-week Drew Brees? Malicious Prosecutors proceeded to use Stafford and Cameron to propel themselves to an upset victory against their former team. Had Helu also been in the lineup, it would have been a candidate for blowout of the week.
Best of luck to Brees’ new owner.Report
Hrm, maybe there is a segment here about bad trades.Report
Last week was really frustrating. We were slated to beat Kazzy by 50 or 60, and then the bottom fell out as all of our players tanked in the same week.
It’s like they say, that’s why you actually play the games. And by play the games, I mean sit on the couch reading while occasionally checking your FFB score.Report
I can see a new segment for this too. The biggest underdog that won for the week. Now I just need a word that fits and rhymes with week….Report
Great, here comes another nail biter on Monday. This item I am not the one hoping for a bunch of points though.Report
