I dont know about you but Im enjoying this Old guys getting it done, even if a lot of those old guys are younger than me. Unfortunately whipping the youngsters does take it out of you, I guess as some big names who were winning games for us over the first 3 weeks may be showing signs of slowing down. Also because the Colts just dont deserve Andrew Luck fate took him away in order to let them think about what theyve done, and the oldest player who is not a kicker stepped in and played well. The colts also won the game with Vinatieri, who actually is the oldest player in the league.
Old guys rule!
Anyway, we no longer have any undefeated teams, weve managed to drag them all down to our level, yay! Miami has a new Head coach, Oakland cant defend the tight end, Julio Jones is mortal, and Devonte Freeman isnt. Lets do this thing:
Texas Pugs Vs Stoneys Jabronies
So youre 0 and 3, your star quarterback gets ruled out a few hours before the game and youre playing one of two undefeated teams who are 3 and 0. On top of all that your star RB is sharing snaps and didnt get the high score this week as Anderson continues to struggle. The Pugs had an uphill battle this week.
They responded like true giant killers. Their first move was picking up a 20 plus game from Blake Bortles on the Waiver Wire. Next the Pugs were rewarded for their diligent management as Charles Clay and Chris Johnson continued to perfume, even Spiller went off in overtime on their bench. Overall the only thing to wonder about for the Pugs this week is whether it was all a wasted effort for their first win. The Jabronies stung this week, sorry guys, ya did, and it wasnt just because Gronk was on bye. Fosters return wasnt quite the homecoming many hoped for as his own team decided to strip the ball from him, Dunbar went down with a terrible knee injury to end a promissing season early, Julio Jones stopped being invincible and Jordan Mathews wasnt able to make up for bad play with volumes this week. Even Risshard Mathews decided to turn back into a pumpkin.
Were all pretty sure, here are the roundup office, that the Jabronies will be back to strength next week, In Gronk we trust, but fortunately the Pugs put up numbers to rival anybody this week. Nicely done, boys, good dogs.
Texas Pugs, 124. Stoneys Jabronies, 54.
Bush Did Deflategate Vs English Muffin
Turns out even when he fumbles on the goal line, Calvin Johnsons still pretty good for fantasy. (Most disappointing end to Monday night football ever, by the way.) In any case the Muffins were able to just about crawl over the century mark this week which was enough to fend off Bush Did Deflategate. Turns out Sam Bradford was a better start this week then Aaron Rodgers, of course I think you get hung if you bench the one for the other, Ill have to read the bye laws to be sure. Despite a fumble Larry fitz continued to show well for BDD and Adrian Peterson put up a long touchdown run late in the game, unfortunately the other two wily veterans, Sproles and Roddy White werent able to put up but three points together, dooming the BDDs to a disappointing, for them, week 4. Undefeated no more, but still on top, and Edelman comes back this week, things could be worse.
Bush Did Deflategate, 90. English Muffin, 112.
Jackhammer Vs Dakota Beagles
It looked like a photo finish but the Beagles carried the lead into Monday night with the only player left to go on their roster. Still it was technically possible for jimmy graham to post negative points, but he didnt, although if he gets any less work in Seattle he might start.
But the star of the show this week for the beagles was Jeremy Hill who came back from the bench to score 3 rushing touchdowns (stealing one from Gio Bernard, Ill just point out
bitterly.) Rivers putting up one of his better fantasy outings and Brandon Marshals third straight 100 yard game (rumors this contributed directly to Miamis head coach getting the axe are still circling) didnt hurt either.
On the Jackhammer side of things Leveon Bell also put up a stud RB game, but the rookie Matt Jones left a lot to be desired: Washington doesnt like playing the best player, didnt anybody tell Jackhammer that their starting Kirk Cousins? M.Bennett did manage to toast the Raiders this week, but so does every TE and even Ted Gin Jr put up 2 touchdowns and 15 points in the flex. But it was all to no avail. The Jackhammer falls to 1 and 3 while the Beagles glide to a .500 season. Still if youre going to get beat get beat by the weeks highest score, thats what I always say.
Jackhammer, 121. Dakota Beagles, 129.
The Honey Badgers Vs Sanchez Butt-Fumblers
Sanchez Butt-Fumblers fell to 1 and 3 this week as Carlos Hyde continues to struggle under the weight of a poor 49res offence. Jamal Charles and Chris Ivory both managed 20 plus point games but it wasnt enough as ODB and Golden Tate both posted disappointing single digit games and Peyton continued to find passing touchdowns harder to come by each week as interceptions get easier.
The Honey Badgers on the other hand seem to have picked up the best running back in football off the waiver wire. His names Devonte Freeman and he currently, last I checked, leads the NFL in scoring. Hes even beating the kickers. Weird, right? Outside of Matt Forte and Eli Manning the Badgers didnt have many stand outs but they did enough to get things done, hopefully Steve Smith isnt out for long, even with 4 broken bones in his back I wouldnt bet too much money against that man, but the Badgers probably arent worried about it, they seem to have the ability to Waiver Wire with the best of them. (Did I mention that Gary Barnage wasnt just a result of an Oakland defense last week, turns out he can play football and put up another 19 points this week, guess who put him on his bench?)
The Honey Badgers, 119. Sanchez Butt-Fumblers, 89.
Kentucky Aardvarks Vs MX Thunderballs
The votes are in and everythings coming up Aardvarks, a win, and a star RB breaks out on their bench. They both entered the game with a different record but theyre leaving at .500 together. The Aardvarks orchestrate a comeback win this week with the help of Doug Baldwin who put up a solid double digit game and the Seahawks DST adding an unnecessary but welcome 3 points both of which made up for a lackluster performance from Travis Kelce and Bilal Powell, who went down to injury. Also it turns out this Gurly-man can play football really, really well. The Todd put up 146 yards and apparently at down on the field which made some kind of stir about a clock? I dont know, I wasnt listening closely. Either way, not such a bad thing to have on your bench and still post a W. Heck Allen Robinson showed he can still put up double digits against shutdown corners. Lifes sweet for the shelled critters this week.
The Thunderballs on the other hand may be worried about Antonio Brown, but probably not too worried, he is Antonio Brown, and next week hell probably catch that long touchdown throw. The MXs also had a break out RB in their lineup in the form of Karlos Williams. They are probably already looking to put the record straight in week 5.
Kentucky Aardvarks, 97. MX Thunderballs, 93.
