5 weeks in the books


It's gonna be a short one this week. High Holidays and all.

I'm not sure if this guy is dead



But he's dead.

Someone, for the love of God, take me to this place:


I need to be at the Phog with Snoop, followed by extracting Claws with a Claw.

Beef of the Week: Russell Wilson Talk

This is more a beef about what's NOT happening. Over his past 17 regular season games, Russell Wilson has 40 TD and 4 INT. Dude just gets completely ignored as one of the best because he's not as flashy as Mahomes or Watson. But he's a beast. Wonder if anyone will ever notice.


Power Rankings
The league is super top heavy right now, which means everyone is still in it. There's 1.5 games separating 6th from last.

14. Street Pigeons (1-4) - Last week: 14
Back in the loss column. Last in points. Well deserved spot in the cellar. Mess with the bull and you get the horns.

13. Geno 911 (1-4) - Last week: 9
As expected, continues to take Ls. Better weeks are ahead.

12. Tequila Party Gnomes (3-2) - Last week: 11
I don't know how TPG does it, but now over .500 despite being 2nd to last in points. This team should hit full mast down the stretch.

11. Bo$$town Cutter (2-3) - Last week: 13
Plowed me. Nothing else to say. Had an unstoppable week.

10. Team BG (1-4) - Last week: 8
Boyd finally woke up, but what an absolutely brutal loss. Negative points from Baker. You win that game 9 times out of 10, at least.

9. Stanky Monkeys (1-4) - Last week: 6
Really struggling after showing some signs of life. Needs to pick things up pretty quickly.

8. Dueling Pylons (2-2-1) - Last week: 2
This team is straight trash. Hasn't scored a TD in 3 weeks.

7. The King's Crusaders (2-3) - Last week: 12
Just needed a bit of a kick in the pants. Responded well. Matt Ryan still stinks.

6. BAD NEWS BOSH (4-1) - Last week: 10
Haven't seen anything to indicate this team is better than I thought previously. To nobody's surprise, complained profusely about a kicker.

5. Pork Chop Express (2-2-1) - Last week: 5
Not sure how we ended up here. I don't necessarily think you have the 5th best team. Lot of congestion in the middle.

4. Philly Peppers (2-3) - Last week: 3
Still putting up points. Mahomes scoring 21 feels like a huge letdown. Talent is still there.

3. Ouch! My Hamstringy! (4-1) - Last week: 7
Playing well. Putting up points. I like what I've seen the last couple weeks. Again, I'm not such a bad guy.

2. Tweeting in the Trenches (4-1) - Last week: 4
Aaron Jones 48 points?!?!? Come ahn!! That Ekeler well is going to dry up quickly, so it'll be interesting to see what happens here.

1. The Old Ball Sack (5-0) - Last week: 1
Tried to jinx this guy by ranking him #1. Instead put up 190. The league has two "men" to thank for this assault on the league. Don't ever mess with the fantasy gods.


Week 6 Matchups
Street Pigeons v Dueling Pylons
Philly Peppers v Geno 911
Bo$$town Cutter v Team BG
Stanky Monkeys v Tweeting in the Trenches
The Old Ball Sack v Pork Chop Express
The King's Crusaders v Tequila Party Gnomes

EFFL Game of the Week
BAD NEWS BOSH v Ouch! My Hamstringy! - I fully expect this matchup to play out with both gentleman covered in wing sauce, dollar bills, and diseases.  I'd bet neither team breaks 100.
