week 10 recap Frank got busy

 Sorry guys I got busy with the house inspection on Tuesday and then the appraisal on Wednesday, as well as wanting to jump off a bridge watching a couple Sixers game. 

Well let's start with the bad

Connor beat me, I scored 41 points and the Rams offense seems to no longer exists. My plan to tank week 10 didn't work cause well the team was hit with lots of bad luck to this point. Oh well when you have 5 championships it's going to happen sooner or later. Bad year, maybe it is time to reload for next year or try to sneak into the playoffs, who knows. 

Rich pulled out a victory over Doug, who is struggled worse than his name sake did against Bobby Lashley. IT's okay Doug not everyone is meant to be a top guy and there can only be 1 head of the table so acknowledge him or just given in to the Messiah of Monday nights. 

I honestly cannot top Alex line on his win over Brendan so I am not going to try. 

Roger still can't seem to set a full lineup so I don't expect him to pick up another win until he plays me because that is the type of year I am having. A small note Roger was the 3 scoring team through the first couple weeks. Dan picked up his 6th win which has been where he has gotten stuck on in the recent past. Can he finally break through the 6 win barrier? 

The 2nd most attractive icon got a win this week. Every since Ryan embraced his fandom of Ana he has turned the season around, kind of feels like infringing on Doug's old gimmick, but I wonder if Ryan can finally figure out what the best pirates of the Caribbean movie is.  

Steve beat the only team that may be more injuried than mine so it is not a good season for the Brennan boys. Oh well, that is the way the cookie crumbles. 

Talk to everyone on Monday at 7:30 and I hope everyone does the secret Santa which is always fun!

Week 9 Recap

 Sorry guys, I have been a bit busy with investment properties, planning my mom's 60th surprise birthday party, and trying to figure out what Aaron Rodgers is talking about. The guy honestly should have just stopped with I am allergic to a protein in MNRA vaccines and moved on, but Pat MCaffee got him talking and he is a bigger story than Henry Ruggs killing someone. 

Well I have some important things to say before going into the recap. 1. Let's talk about Vegas. WE have to put on the schedule a planning meeting in the near future. 

2. End of the year celebration who's in, who's not and where in AC do we want to stay. Obviously it is again going to be the week before the superbowl. Connor already bought his tickets so he is in. That's easy to set up but want to get a head count earlier rather than later. 

Now to the recap

All the bad luck Doug has had over the years seems to be flipping as he pulled out the 1 point win this week set up by a ref deciding he wanted to punish the bears. Poor bears, they never stood a chance. 

Connor was able to be Brendan who came up smaller then the undersized infrastructure bill. Still even through it is small it is a win for America, because getting something is more than the idiots in congress can every be expected to do. Idiots that say the bill is going to cause more inflation have no clue what they are talking about and should be excluded from any policy making decisions. As you improve infrastructure you allow more players into the market, or lower costs for companies by improving transportation times. Also things like no lead in the water shouldn't be questioned for what the ROI is going to be when the answer is clearly no lead and probably over time cheaper water because you don't have to repair pipes as often and there is less leakage but politics isn't about how you can help people it is about how you can get elected so we are going to continue to waste time because when Republicans cross the aisle the former president tries to crush them because he only cares about himself. 

Rich took the L to Alex. Rich probably didn't notice because he was on the beach in South Carolina while the proud RINO  knocked him off by 3 points in the lowest scoring game of the year. 

Steve beat Roger and Roger for the 3rd week in a row had a player who was out in this lineup. Roger please don't change ever.

Chris was able to defeat Dan. Dan was crying on Sunday as the Bills looked like the 2010-2017 bills against the jags. Hey it happens the Bills can still go further in the playoffs than KC and you can say hey Ryan, so much for your hot shot QB, bow down to the real future Josh Allen. That may age poorly but you could say it.

Speaking of Ryan he joined the teams that scored in the 60s taking a loss to a team that lost his best two players and was forced to play Baker Mayfield. The guy has a torn labrum and playing QB, why doesn't he just sit out the rest of the year and recover. I guess that's why I am not a pro football player because I would let my shoulder heal and try to play 15 years in the league. 

Since half my life is currently talking to Mortgage people because investment properties are risky and no one wants to underwrite them without 1 million questions and rocket just likes to say hi sometimes, I cannot guarantee that I will be recapping Connor's win this week. 

Good luck everyone   

Congrats Ryan, here's a short story to celebrate

 This story starts where most stories start, with a group of friends collected around a table talking about what they have going on in their life. We have the newlyweds showing off the photo album, the newly promoted leader of phone game alliance making jokes about his promotion at work, the balding guy saying his hair lost meds are finally helping, the serial online dater showing off his new match and the New Yorker talking about her new apartment. As these conversations go it was a dull one, as these six had little excitement going on since all the Sleepy Hallow Halloween activities where booked or canceled except for Hotel Transvania but 5 people don't understand the height of comedy.

Our group needed to do something so off they went throwing the new groom into the trunk of the car, crowding the minibronze statue. Whipping around corners and hills our adventures reach the sleepy hallow cemetery not a moment too soon for the man in trunk. Off to see the famous graves of Rockefeller, Carnegie and where the headless horseman left his prey. While admiring the granduer even in death of these titans of industry, the balding member came across the bronze lady.

In her lap he saw a envelope saying take me and the curious fool opened it to see inside. To his great surprise he found some candy, which offered to the children, some stickers and a ghoul of a pin. Fun little trinkets for the group. Little did they know the curse that was attached to this lady; all are free to take from the lady but in return must return what others have lost in the cemetery so the next may find the joy she lacks. 

An easy curse to miss as it is overshadowed by the headless horseman fame and much small stakes compared to losing your head and our mootly crew had no clue. Off they went to see the rest of the cemetery and the old Dutch church. As they walked the serial online dater kicked something on the ground. A nice silver ring there for anyone to pick up and pick it up he did. Realizing his mistake moments too late he tried to drop it and forget it but the alliance leader told him that everyone knows you have to give a ring away if you find it in a graveyard, you can't just leave it. 

Knowing the balding man had previously been cursed he gave him the ring to pass any danger away. The balding man missed the perfect opportunity to give it too two passerby and the group moved on towards the car. Jokingly they said they need to give the ring to the bronze lady so to see her again they went. 

The balding man mocking the possibility of curse a few steps from the lady tossed the ring towards her. As fate would have it the ring missed it's target and dropped to the ground. Thinking his task was down the balding man return to the group and the car to leave. 

The night was normally for this group, and all crisis seem to be averted. Little did they know the lady is patient and strike when she ready. So our crew returned weary from thier adventure. To sleep most went and the New Yorker returned to her new apartment. 

In the morning the group awoke to surprise. The balding man's hair was less and gray. While they laughed at his plight, the serial online dater and alliance leader opened their phones. To much shock both apps they enjoy were missing, removed entirely from the device. The laughs turn to angry and worry of what could cause this bad luck. Soon the newlyweds would awaken and try to comfort the suffering. 

In thier attempt the bride turns to the photo album to show a cousin who wants to see the serial online dater again, but the new boy was missing but before panic could set in the New Yorker called with a message of pure terror. She said in pure dread why is Jack in my apartment with a key and signed lease saying he lives here to. The rest realized they got off easy comparatively decided to accept thier fate and just get breakfast. 

At breakfast the lucky few decided to Google the bronze lady and buried in the results was the curse. As it was read aloud, the balding man face went pale as he realized he missed. So the men returned and sitting next to the bronze lady was a ring which they gave to her. Before they reached the car, another call came in to the groom. His wife, singing like an angelic choir, said she found the photos. Checking their phones was met with more joy than a child at Christmas as the apps had returned. The balding man looked into his mirror and the gray was replaced with the normal brown. The thickness unfortunately did not change.

Celebrating the return, the New Yorker calls to say hey turns out lease was actually for a place in North Dakota so he left. All were happy and if they would have looked behind them they would have saw that the bronze lady was smiling as well.

Happy Halloween everyone 

Week 6 Roger decides to throw the season away

 Coming into the week Roger decided to trade away Jamar Chase to Ryan for a 3rd round pick. The two teams with 1 win making an interesting trade with the guy who has been unlucky giving up the talented player and the guy who's team has been struggling without his 1st round pick. You would think the trade would go the other way. Well Ryan is trying to save his season and Roger seems content to be competing for another raffle where he escapes all punishments by simply not attending any more events. 

Speaking of Ryan, it was actually an earlier trade that did him in this week. A few weeks ago Dan and Ryan decided to trade kickers and well the difference was Buffalo kicker. Dan strategy of packing his teams with Bills players paid off this week even through the Bills could not pick up the win. It was the right call to go for that fourth and 1. Dan picked up the win while the bills took the L and Ryan stays at 1 win. 

Talking about teams going for it on 4th down. The Chargers, super aggressive going for it and not converting this week. Hey it didn't hut Connor as he was able to overcome the Rodgers, Adams stack on the strength of Taylor dominating for the Colts. Hey Nick look what your old team is doing and run the ball, not just cause I have Sanders but because the Eagles need to win a couple games too. Doug took the L but keeps a 1 game lead in his division as both Alex and Connor lurk waiting to take that spot. 

Alex was able to beat Chris, who after having every player have a career game, had every player seem to be hurt.   Alex returned to the winner cycle with the return of Cook to lineup. The super powered line-up is going to be tough to beat if Cook picks up the pace. 

Don't worry Ryan, Roger lost as well so you both share last place for now. Roger lost to the top 3 players in Matt's lineup so not really inspiring confidence Beasley also outscored Chase so maybe Roger made a good trade because we all know he is going to blow that draft pick.

Rich was involved in another close match up but this time he came out on top. Brendan team preformed well in defeat with Joe Burrow looking like a potential game changer in fantasy football. Brendan might have been able to win if the Eagles defense tried to stop the run instead of doubling Evans and Godwin.

Hey the beneficiary of the eagles game plan was Fournette who scored 27 points this week. That was not enough to get Steve the W. He was not able to overcome the Stafford, Henderson  stack. Hey Kupp did give a scare with his two TDs. Come on Stafford throw a couple more to other guys, spread the wealth. 

With that the league is close together as only 3 teams are under .500 at this point of the season. It will be interesting if anyone is able to pull away this season. 

Good luck to everyone this week

 

Week 5 The defending champ hits a cold streak

 Sorry for not getting this up sooner, I decided to go see No Time to Die in Adobe vision, tonight and I'll just say that was not a mistake. But enough of the excuses and on to the recap.

In the upset of the week Connor defeated Alex despite Alex getting 39 points from his QB and 32 from his tight end. Is it because Alex left two guys who were hurt in his lineup, maybe but Connor also had 1 RB go down with injury early in his game as well so that equaled things out. Alex with the loss drops into last place in his division. Guess the manger has been thinking the customer is right instead of spitting in the food and sending it back out.

Doug got another win to extend his division lead to 2 game over Alex and Connor and giving Roger another tough luck loss on the season. Roger must not of seen the news that Ridely was not traveling on Friday and that 0 really hurt hi, He probably also missed that every Giants WR was hurt going into the game. Roger might be the best 1-4 team of all time but he can't seem to put it together. 

Brendan crushed Ryan. Ryan is off to a dreadful start as he had 3 starters play and score 0 points. An impressive feat if it was low score wins but it's not. Brendan is showing some life with a big win.

Rich for the second week in a row loss by less then 3 points as he could not overcome Frank's team of the walking wounded. With ever starter except Miles Sanders carrying an injury designation at some point last week it was a lucky win for the commish. 

Steve put up a monstrous 152 points and set his sights on his 3rd title saying this is my division and Ryan and Dan are not concerns in the slightest. If Lamar Jackson keeps getting 40 plus games Steve will be unbeatable so for all our sakes let's hope Baltimore starts using those stinky RBs again. 

Chris was able to win with a crazy 86 points from 3 players in the same game. The chargers Browns game was a huge fantasy day for everyone, except OBJ who must of kicked Baker's puppy or something. That was able to bring Chris back from being on pace for the worst non Roger or Andrew week in league history. 

So here are my picks for the next James Bond

1. Just make it a cuban spy movie and cast Ana De Amas

That's it. Seriously she was complete fire in that movie. 

Week 4 to tank or not tank

 There comes a point in every season where a player has to look at there roster and determine if they should just tank and trade away their scrapes or hold off to later weeks and keep the dream alive. Today we take a look at the teams that should tank and which should keep the roster together.

First Brendan pulled off an impressive 2 point win, unfairly because Stafford was in on that rushing TD over Frank. Brendan moved to 1-3 with his first win of the season. Powered by two RB that are the only options in their respective offense Brendan should not tank and keep on fighting. His opponent last week also at 1-3 should not tank because Miles Sanders sucks and the solution is stop playing him.

Dan and Rich faced off in a battle of the top of the league and Dan pulled off the 1 point win. Obviously both should tank to give the lower downs a better chance. 

Steve got to play Ryan for the 2nd time and for the 2nd time won the matchup rather convincing moving him to 3-1 on the season on the strength of his fantasy defense. Steve should not tank. Ryan is 1-3 his top RB out, his WR nonexistent. He might be able to luck into a few wins but at this point it looks like he should be calling Connor up and saying don't you like Mahomes for a 2nd round pick. 

Alex lost back to back weeks and there are questions about the champ. Doug was able to pick up his 3rd win somehow this week which might match his 2 year total. Neither are in a position to tank because they play with Connor.

Connor got his first win of the season and had to be the top scorer because Matt had some more bad luck losing when scoring over 100 points again. Since he has joined the league no one has lost more when they score over 100 points. Connor has a super deep team and as long as he doesn't over think it he should have a good season.

Chris beat Roger and really it is all the Raiders fault. simple as that but Roger does have a few studs on the bench that keep on putting up big points that would make him 4-0 so his roster as lots of potential. 

So the only team that should tank is Ryan. Speaking of things that tanked here is a list of the best 5 Adam Sandler movies. 

(Disclosure I have not seen his netflix movies)

5. Happy Gilmore 

4. Uncut Gems 

3. Hotel Transylvania III

2. Hotel Transylvania 

1. Hotel Transylvania II 

Hands down the best movie he has every done!!! 

Week 3 Justin Tucker wow!

 Another week in the books and another Eagle's QB that can't get passed his first read is exposed, hello another top 10 pick... wait, the Giants lost to the Falcons and might be the worst team without a rookie QB, oh boy what fun that will be. 

Before we get into the failures of this week, let's take a few more looks at Tucker's record breaking FG. 

Well that was fun and to the biggest failure of the week. Roger went down 79-102. Now he had a RB on his bench score 18, a WR score 18 and a QB score 20, compared to his waiver wire or poor Allen Robinson because Fields might be worse than Hurts. who scored 2, 2, and 15, which would have put him over the top, instead he tinkered his way to another L and is starting to look like the normal Roger.

Week 2 Do the Refs hate Julio, the Titans or both

 Okay before actually recapping the matchups let's talk about the refs and how they tried so hard to bail the Seahawks out. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvnWbAI4mUE&ab_channel=HighlightHeaven

Look at the video, Julio foot came down out of bounds. Hold on here a picture

You can see the heel is not on the white. I don't know what these refs were looking at, but there is no way this met the standard to be overturned. But in the same game the refs made a more disturbing call.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1439738427860193280

Watch the video but how in the world is that not a safety. He is a yard in the endzone. Come on refs do better and stop trying to screw over the titans.

Recaps for real this year

 Welcome back to another year of football and after a year hiatus  recaps are back and here to stay. At least for the first couple of weeks. So everyone buckle in for the wild ride that is the fantasy season.

With the extended season we get a new schedule fun, right. 

The new schedule saw the defending Champ Alex facing off against division rival Doug (can you really be a rival if you never win) Doug ran into the buzzsaw that is Tom Brday, Debo Samuel and CeeDee Lamb. Maybe next week your QB and number 1 receiver will combine for more than 10 points. 

In a rematch of the worst teams from last year Roger was able to defeat Connor. Could Roger this be the start of Roger making it to the playoffs for the 2nd time ever, probably not, but hey at least he is almost to last seasons win total already. Connor was done in by an injury to the Washington football team QB limiting Scary Terry, and not play AB who lead his team in scoring from the bench. 

Chris was able yo pull off an impressive win led by Gronk who throw back the clock and scored 22 points and a last second TD to Robert Woods which put him over the top. Chris, lost two players to the IR through but Mike Williams looks poised to be a weapon in the Chargers offense. 

Dan was able to recover from a devastating week 1 Bills loss to put together a roster that defeated Steve, normal king of the division. Dan RBs were dominate as Gordon and Montgomery combined for 38 points. watch out everyone Dan is sitting solo in first place and could possible win his division for the first time. Honestly, that is more likely than Roger making the playoffs. So good luck Dan. 

Dan is sitting in first place because Ryan was not able to overcome Rich who was chilling on an island oblivious to the fact games are being played this week. An average week from CMC (20 points) and a big week from Waller and Mahomes was not enough to put him over the combined forces of Prescott and Hill. Despite only getting 1 point from Aaron Jones in the dysfunction Green Bay offense Rich was able to shut the door on Ryan's dream of a perfect season.

In the final matchup of the week Brendan and his liberal nonsense of building infrastructure, which some Senators are making it their mission to never pass went down faster than Joe Manchin's daughter comes up with plans to increase profits of EpiPen. It was a fast start for Brendan as Cooper put up 27 points in the thursday night game, but Stafford sealed the deal early in the Sunday night game as the Chicago D forgot there is a QB that can throw the ball more than 20 yards in LA now. The Commish is going to need better production from Jones and Barkley if he want to find his way to another championship this year and get the title back from the false king Alex. 

An exciting week 1 is in the books and look forward to next week better recap when I am not rushing because I want to watch the best Pirates of the Caribbean movie tonight before I go to sleep.
