It was the Best of Teams, it was the Worst of Teams...
Within the 5CD, we now have a distinct top, middle, and bottom rung. The middle rung consists of 3 teams hovering right around .500. The top rung consists of the 9-1 Sugar Gliders, gliding their way through their first year in the league - and then you get to the bottom rung - and there you find the 47ers. Near the bottom of the league in scoring, wins, and a mediocre coach rating that averages below 80% each week, the 47ers have been a disappointment. Starting off the year by losing 6 of their first 7 games was too much to overcome, and now, after losing to the Gliders in week 10, their 3-7 record all but guarantees entry into the losers' bracket come playoff time. Jerry "I care too much - meaning that all those teams that don't care and are still beating me, is really humiliating" Cook will play the role of spoiler for the rest of the season, starting with Rivalry Week, where he hopes to prevent his wife getting yet another T-shirt celebrating her football dominance over him. Back at the top, the Sugar Gliders are the only team to have clinched a playoff spot, and have also clinched a tie for the best record in the league. Shoshana "I actually feel bad for you teams that... what's it called again? Oh right... lose" Cook has dominated all season, and recently added help upstairs, with co-manager Nathan "I've played in over 36 fantasy leagues since 2004 - including Hockey - perhaps it's time to admit I have a problem" Lennox joining the Gliders' front office. Perhaps the help was needed entering Rivalry Week, as the Gliders will put their 4 game winning streak on the line against another team on a 4 game winning streak, managed by her husband. The Rivalry Week plot thickens!
A Tale of Two Weeks
No one said it would last forever. The re-energized Easily Offensive, who had been the highest scoring team for 3 consecutive weeks, suddenly fell back to earth in week 10. No dominating performance from a rookie RB was in sight, and the result was a less than impressive 82 point offensive output. Had they been playing any of the other victorious teams in week 10, they would have joined the 47ers in the pit of irrelevance. Instead, they played the Cow Pokes, and a Pokes' season-low point total gave the Offensives a relaxing march to their 4th straight victory. David "Since I can't lose another game, my playoffs started 4 weeks ago" Cook was more lucky than good in week 10, and might have that good fortune continue as the dominating Gliders face a roster full of BYEs in the upcoming Rivalry Week matchup. The Cow Pokes and Norman "I traded away RGIII so Eli could give me 2.7 points?!? If only someone had offered me Andy Dalton instead..." Cook will luckily get Aaron Rodgers back for Rivalry Week. Even more fortunate, of course, is the fact that the game will be against the Hottez.
A Champion's Rant
WatchBlog's Week 10 - Sunday in Review seemed to hit a nerve with one of the CFFFL managers - the reigning Champ, to be exact. Apparently, the Quail Hunters finally took exception with the suggestion that a manager that never shows up for draft day, repeatedly plays inactive players, and trades for Defenses that they don't start, might not be in complete control of her team. Not to mention the WatchBlog source that reported Amanda "I've never watched Arrested Development, so MotherBoy makes no sense to me" Cook herself admitted that her 2011 roster was often managed by someone similar to her in genetic makeup, but with much shorter, and much, much, much fewer head hairs. In this week's rant, the Hunters' manager went on to categorize WatchBlog as "elusive" and someone no one ever "talks to," but then pretended to know what kind of hairlines are common in the WatchBlog extended family. The stress of Rivalry Week must really be getting to people.
