(WatchBlog McGee is a fictionalized blogger but reports on actual, flesh and bone, real-life fantasy football leagues. This year, he is embedded deep in the CFFFL, and will be periodically blogging on league matters.)
WatchBlog here again. Only one game is officially over early this week. Let’s get to it.
Revenge of the Badger
Honey Badger started their 7 game losing streak with a loss to The Lions in week 1. It seems only fitting that they end their streak of futility with a win over the same team. Just as WatchBlog predicted one day ago, the Badger has found its first victim of the season and knocked Matt “Well I knew it had to end sometime” Johnson’s team out of the 4-way tie for the 3rd best record in the CFFFL. While The Lions fall to 4-4, on the season, The Badger’s record improves to 1-7. When asked to comment on their first victory of the season, Andy “Dont give a !@%$” Cook allegedly said “if you want a comment, just refer to whatever nickname you give me.”
Things that Go Bump in the Night
Late last night, the CFFFL had its first player trade of the year go through. The trade was officially approved after midnight on Saturday, and involved 4 players on two teams, Cousin Mose & Me and Easily Offensive. The Offensives sent WR Jeremy Maclin and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to the Cousins, and in return received WR Roddy White and RB LeGarrette Blount. The Cousins were able to immediately plug both players into their lineup, and both helped the Cousins to a very respectable lead which they will try to hold onto while the Hottez play their remaining players tomorrow. The Offensives’ new players are both in a BYE in week 8, so instead of plugging in new players they had to replace the departed Maclin with an underperforming WR DeSean Jackson. The loss of points might prove to be costly, as the Offensives are in a tight contest with the 47ers headed into the Monday night game.
If being right is wrong, then I don’t want to be right... wait, what?
Right on the heels of WatchBlog’s controversial ranking of the 4-3 Leftovers ahead of the 6-1 Puppies, the two teams met in week 8. WatchBlog appears to have hit on something, as the Leftovers have a commanding 57+ point lead going into tomorrow night. If the Puppies do not pull off a miracle comeback with their 2 remaining players, it will be only their second loss of the year, but also their second in a row. The second half of the season appears to be shaping up quite differently from the first. As always, WatchBlog will be there to help point out the new trends as they emerge.
WatchBlog out.
