With each passing week things get more and more exciting. The loser division has a tight race with Joyce & Alan tied for first. The BFF division is close with Doron in first. And is there really any surprise that Zylka is right behind Doron? Don't look now, but Leo could be in contention for the division after this week if he can beat Doron. Tony is starting to pull away with the other division as he has the best record and a strong lineup. The other race is for the wild card which will be undetermined for a few weeks.
I figured with this being Thanksgiving weekend I would share things for which I am thankful.
First of all I'm thankful that I'm not married to Katie. If she picks husbands like she picks fantasy football teams then you know her caveman is a real winner. Katie got slaughtered by the spelling bee champ which is about what she's used to. What was even worse than the defeat was watching her precious Steelers get beat by one of the worst teams in the world, the Kansas City Chiefs. And to add injury to insult, Rothlisburger was injured and his head / highlighted hair may not be alright for this week's game. Leo showed us this week that attention to detail isn't that important when you're playing Katie. Basically a full lineup will do the job. Leo is a little bitter about the trade not going through but he's just using that as motivation to kick butt these last few weeks.
Second I'm thankful for those who have an optimistic outlook on life. Zylka is not one of those people. Rather he is totally bitter primarily because of the rejected trade. There have been threats of not playing next year, or taking $25 worth of pennies and throwing them at certain ringleaders that disrupted the trade or even deficating on people's cars like a certain cat in the basement has been known to do. We'll have to see what Zylka will do, but in the meantime we have to deal with the hellish fury of a scorned only child (a slight variation of the original saying). Vick's Puppy Store was the first victim of Zylka's tirade and we all may be victims if we're not more kind to this very fragile human being. There is no telling what Señor Sarcasm will do. If we're lucky he'll just beat up on a few weaklings in the league, if were unlucky we might want to wear bullet proof vests to work. Only time will tell if Señor Sarcasm will turn into Psycho Sarcasm.
Third, I'm thankful for America and how freaking awesome it is. Japan is not as good as America and Gregg's team is not as good as Tony's. Just like the Japanese always do however, (put up a nice fight, but end up losing (i.e. WWII)) so did GG. 101 points is a lot of points for a guy who gets off by watching children cry, but it wasn't enough because Tony did what the Americans always do...win! That's right, Americans are freaking winners. We invented water parks, fast food, the car, and imported slavery. There is nothing we can't do. And there is nothing that Tony can't do, including beating an opponent without having anybody on his team score a touchdown, punk a little kid out of his Halloween candy, and destroy kids' dreams of getting runover by a car while they play in his street. That's right, Tony is the man. He has the best record in the league and he has the best hairdo as well. Gregg is quite the opposite. He has the worst team in the league and the biggest head.
Fourth, I'm thankful for the freedom's enjoyed in America. I'm not a big proponent of the women's right movement, but in the name of equal opportunity I think it's great. It means that I can punch a woman in the face and have it be ok, and it also means that Joyce can beatdown a Black Mamba and move a step closer to the playoffs. There is no glass ceiling in fantasy football. The irony of Mamba's loss to a girl is the fact that he was beat with his old players. Good 'ol Hines Ward came through with 18 points vs. Marshall's 2. Chris Johnson had 15 points and Ray Rice had 13. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the year plays out to see how Joyce finishes up the season. She sure is lucky to be in the worst division in the history of fantasy football.
Fifth, I'm thankful for big things. You know what I mean... Super Sized Meals, 1/2 pound hamburgers, H2 Hummers, Big women, big houses, the list goes on. And in a world where there are no little people, just people with smaller bodies and bigger aspirations we have the Foreigner busting a move to try and make a late push into contention. This may be a classic too little too late, but like the little train taught us, if we don't think we can, then there's no way we can. Unfortunately for Keler, he can't play Erica's pitiful team every week. Keler is in nice position to sneak in the backdoor and possibly steal the wild card position. He's 6-5 and going up against a divisional opponent. Our bank's favorite SBA rep might come up big afterall.
Finally, I'm thankful for Alan in my life. He's a helluva guy to help put things into perspective. Just today I was down in the dumps and Alan comes by to cheer me up. The key points behind his motivation were that he's busier than everyone in our office, his kids are the dumbest kids around and his wife does absolutely nothing for him or anyone else. The part that makes all of that OK in Alan's world however is that his 6 game losing streak finally came to an end. It took a 124 point effort to overcome an impressive 107 point Bo effort, but he did it. He showed Joyce that he's not willing to lie down and let her violate him and his division. He may even punch her in her equal rights face. That would be a violation of his anger management program so hopefully he'll stick with verbally assaulting her and maybe spitting in her general direction. Congrats on the victory Alan, and good luck in working your way towards being anger free.
