WatchBlog here. No miraculous finishes, but one miraculous result. Let's get to it.
Purge and Win-ge
After a humiliating 6 game losing streak to start the 2012 season, Easily Offensive had nothing to lose, and thus began the dismantling of the team. First TE Jason Witten was traded to the Left Fielders for WR Percy Harvin. The Fielders had the luxury of dealing the productive WR after picking up WR Dez Bryant up off waivers. Next up on the block was starting QB Phillip Rivers who was dealt with RB Fred Jackson to the Sugar Gliders for QB Andy Dalton and RB Peyton Hillis. But David "It's a 1 in a million shot that I can make the playoffs? ...So you're saying there's a chance..." Cook wasn't done as he also picked up TE Rob Gronkowski for RB Mikel LeShoure from the 47ers, and finally cut Hillis to then pick up free agent QB Josh Freeman. Suddenly the "Offensiveness" of the team seemed more related to offense than odor. And for once this season, the team actually out performed expectations, and put a hurt on the floundering Gamers. Durlon "Really, you pick this week to revamp?" has made few improvements to his team, and as a result, is in the midst of a 3 game losing streak. If there is any good news for The Gamers, he does meet the Badger next week, with a BYE in play...
The Cowboy Curse
On paper, the Left Fielders had really improved their team. First they picked up Cowboy WR Bryant after inexplicably being placed on waivers. Then, in a week 7 trade, they added another talented Cowboy in a big position of need - TE. They needed the improvement since, despite being 4th in total points, their record winning percentage was a mere .500, and only a win would help turn the tide of under-achievement. However, the win would have to come at the expense of the 5-1 Sugar Gliders. Had Cindy "I have 2 Dallas Cowboy stars on my team, how could anything go wrong?" Cook never heard of the Cowboy Curse? Surely she witnessed the last place finish of the 2011 PlowBoys and their Cowboy rich roster. The curse appeared again in 2012 with The Gamers and Easily Offensive each struggling for wins with Cowboys in prominent positions. Perhaps she knows something we don't, but with Halloween right around the corner, carrying cursed players on your roster can't be a good idea. The Sugar Gliders kept their losing streak at 1, and reclaimed first place in the CFFFL with the win. Shoshana "I don't even wear T-shirts, so what do I really get out of this?" Cook will take on the Cow Pokes next week who will be facing BYE week problems. She will attempt to be the first team in the league to reach lucky # 7 in wins. In contrast to the cursed teams of the CFFFL, the Gliders appear to be charmed.
The Return of Horace?
It has been over a year since the CFFFL has witnessed an appearance of the plant overlord that appears during high levels of of manager indifference. His online moniker is Cronos, unless you looked at his appearance from a year ago, when his moniker was Chronos. However he chooses to spell his name (he's a plant, I think we can cut him some slack) he is a welcome voice calling for a minimum amount of participation. All WatchBlog can ask is, what took you so long?
Fun with week 7 numbers!
