Millburn Mustangs over Cooler than Baptists. Odd thing. My team had apparently beaten Pablo last week by the thinnest of margins - the standings reflected my win and Coach Huang's loss - but on Friday somehow I had lost two points and the game results subsequently changed. Still not sure what happened there, but the Mustangs ended up taking it out on Coach Fehringer's Cooler than Baptists squad, aided by killer performances by Donovan McNabb (welcome back) and Michael Turner. Coach Fehringer's started the wrong Cowboys running back (starting Marion Barber's 5 points over Tashard Choice's 16 points), but it looks like it would've hardly made a difference.
Beginner's Luck? over Midgets. Coach Kang ignored my trade request through the week, and Fantasy Foodball karma paid him back with a spanking at the hands of Coach Kwon's Beginner's Luck. Coach Kang did inexplicably leave a starting WR slot empty, though unless he played Randy Moss from 2007, it probably would've have put him over the top. Coach Kwon inexplicably started Chansi Stuckey, who scored as many points as the Midgets' blank WR slot. When sideline reporter asked Coach Kwon about the thrill of his win, Coach Kwon responded, "Fantasy football? Who cares? I'm just relieved that the Dodgers got past the Cardinals in the NLDS."
Punch in the Face over Pablo. Ah, the gift that keeps on giving. How did you enjoy your ex-players whipping your team, Coach Huang? Despite all the hub-bub on the message boards, how much do you think Coach Lee missed Joe Flacco and his 10 points? Probably not too much when you're starting Tom Brady and Anquan Boldin. The guilt will begin to eat away - just like in Poe's The Telltale Heart. Eh, all's fair in love and fantasy football, and Punch in the Face will gladly keep its undefeated record. But clearly Coach Lee would've traded this win for the ability for Jonathan Papelbon to hold a two run ALDS lead in Game 3.
HE HATE ME over ANSKY. Speaking of which, Coach Steve Lee's squad now stands atop the field as the only undefeated team after a controversial HE HATE ME win over ANSKY. Sick and tired of the hammering he was getting in this column and on WFAN, Coach Song plucked a co-manager who proceeded to make some shrewd free agent picks. I would've had more sympathy for Coach Lee and the tough loss if not for the fact that he left Adewale Ogunleye as the starter on his bye week. Why? In any case, call it the "Curse of Philthy Phil".
Don't Tread on Me over Team Singletary. In what was the butt-whippin' of the week, Coach Cummings' Don't Tread on Me pretty much doubled up Team Singletary thanks to great games by Peyton Manning, Andre Johnson and Roddy White. As for Team Singletary, when you're hopes are pinned on Glen Coffee, you're probably not looking too good. Hey, Coach Lin can always savor that victory over the Midgets.
No Yankees over Trail Mix. As the Giants keep on tickin', so to Coach Tae's No Yankees, who scored, I believe, a record number of points in their surprisingly easy win over Trail Mix. When Eli Manning plays less than a half and scores 19 points and Ahmad Bradshaw is plowing through with 28 points, you're doing pretty well.
Go Yankees over Hamsters. Not a huge surprise as I predicted this outcome, but a formerly reeling Go Yankees squad took out the third-place Hamsters as Coach Beenken was aided by strong performances by Matt Ryan and T.J. Housha... T.J. Houshaman ... that WR who used to be on the Bengals who now plays for the Seahawks. Coach Cheng, furious about his team's underperformance, put on a missing persons alert for DeSean Jackson (0.10 points), DeAngelo Williams (4.90 points) and Chris Cooley (0 points).
So here's the latest standings (Top 8 after Week 12 go to playoffs):
1 Punch in the Face 5-0-0
2 ANSKY 4-1-0
3 Hamsters 3-2-0
4 No Yankees 3-2-0
5 Millburn Mustangs 3-2-0
6 Don't Tread on Me 3-2-0
7 Cooler than Baptists 2-3-0
8 Trail Mix 2-3-0
9 Go Yankees 2-3-0
10 Pablo 2-3-0
11 Beginner's Luck? 2-3-0
12 HE HATE ME 2-3-0
13 Midgets 1-4-0
14 Team Singletary 1-4-09
