Millburn Mustangs over Midgets. My Millburn Mustangs crushed Coach Kang's Midgets in a game which illustrated Coach Kang's arrogance in thinking that he could win without having active players in four slots. Oh who are we kidding? Tim has completely mentally checked out and is probably spending as much time on his fantasy team as most guys spend time watching Oprah. In a salute to the Paul Huang school of ruthless general managing, I promptly waived newcomer Shonn Greene after a subpar performance and replaced him with another player who nobody has heard of, WR Malcom Floyd.
Beginner's Luck? over Trail Mix. You have to hand it to Coach Kwon, his team is starting to get hot, and he's just reached the .500 mark. What's Coach Yeoh doing? Leaving a roster spot manned by a player on a bye? Has fatherhood so stunted your focus that you're neglecting your fantasy football team? How in a world do you leave a player named Sabby Piscitelli on your roster? As for Coach Kwon's resurgence, it just goes to show that you don't have to be an expert in football, you just have to have to be a research junkie and a desire to waste hours of time sitting in front of a computer. It also helps to be Korean. It also helps when your opponent, Coach Yeoh inexplicably decides to bench Maurice Jones-Drew who would've scored 30 points.
Pablo over Don't Tread on Me. Okay, I have to address this Pablo/Punch in the Face controversy. Coach Huang of Pablo traded Jay Cutler to Coach Lee's Punch in the Face for Johnny Knox. Who? Exactly. Jay Cutler is a top quartile quarterback and he goes for a WR who's fighting for the 2nd receiver spot on the Bears? So with Tom Brady, Jay Cutler and Anquan Boldin all being former Pablo players that are now property of Punch in the Face, the questions are starting to emerge: Is there money under the table? Does Steve Lee have some compromising photographs? How in the world did Obama win the Nobel peace prize? In any case, Pablo did pull off the win, and now he joins the large cluster of 4-4 mediocrity.
Cooler than Baptists over ANSKY. The matchup that I deemed as a key game to watch ended up being was as good as advertised, with the strange phenomenon of Coach Lee on Monday night rooting for Drew Brees (on ANSKY) to throw plenty of yards and touchdown passes to Devery Henderson (on ANSKY), but definitely NOT to Jeremy Shockey (on Cooler than Baptists). It looks like that this very well could be a playoff preview.
Punch in the Face over Hamsters. Speaking of playoff previews, this could be another one. As Chin corrected me earlier, this wasn't nearly as good as a matchup as it could be, with Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker all being taking a bye. Coach Lee's Punch in the Face took a costly victory, with Owen Daniels going out for the season with a knee injury. But the undefeated machine moves on to another dangerous showdown with the Midgets... HAHAHAHA, I couldn't say that with a straight face. Sorry Tim. Well, there's always ANSKY on Week 10.
HE HATE ME over Go Yankees. Now that Coach Song is back in the saddle, he's showing just how dangerous HE HATE ME can be. Just a note to Coach Song, as he's picked up Roy Williams who I recently waiver: buyer beware - trust me, he's not that good and is currently more fragile than Brad Lidge's psyche. As for Coach Beenken's Go Yankees, another amazing performance by Adrian Peterson goes for naught.
No Yankees over Team Singletary. Coach Tae shakes off the whipping he got at the hands of the Hamsters last week and bounces back with a surprisingly close win against Coach Lin's Team Singletary. Well, given how awful the Giants stunk it up against the Eagles, I suppose it wasn't that surprising. As for the Philadelphia versus New York rivalry weekend, I think it's fair to say that most New Yorkers (at least those who root for both the Giants and Yankees) would willingly trade a Week 8 loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia would a Game 4 World Series Yankees win in Philadelphia.
