Week 8 Highlights:
It was a tight 2 point victory for the Dabalalas who beat the cheesesteaks 86-84. Fortunately for the cheesesteaks, "Las" coach Jim didn't start reserve RB Jonathan Stewart instead of the injured Brian Westbrook since Steward scored 20 points, which would have resulted in a more lopsided victory.
IADP mentioned last week that The Pan Troglodytes seemed to have gotten it together. Well, they have continued their climb, this time beating The Good Kind of Limping Scrod 94-52, despite having started WR Wes Welker, who was on a bye. "The Scrod" had an unfortunate week with only two players scoring in double digits. The funny thing is that "The Trogs" reserve squad scored an impressive 80 points, which was enough to beat as many as four other teams this week.
The DaBruDoggies aren't the greatest team in the league. They are currently in 10th place on the score leader board. But, somehow they have managed to win three games in a row. This past week, they faced the i c chargers and won 96-64. Unfortunately for the "chargers", they got single digit numbers from all but one of the players.
Things haven't been going too well over at The Dancers camp. They lost to The St. Louis Pandemic of Love 115-36, which was their third loss in a row. On the other hand, The St. Louis Pandemic of Love won their second game in a row and is not only tied with The Good Kind of Limping Scrod for first place in the Central Division, but they continue to stay in first place on the score leader board.
Despite starting a K who was on a bye, Running Wild had no problems beating the Easy Wins. The "Wild" benefitted from a monster performance by their Bears DST who produced 3 FR's, 2 INT's, and a touchdown.
The Bad-Ass Bug got great performances from their QB, their DST, and one of their RB's. But, they came up just short of the Average Joes who won 113-107, thus ending "The Bug's" 3 game win streak. The "Joes" had a well balanced attack and are now at .500. Speaking of the Average Joes, their "CEO, General Manager, Head Coach, Mascot and Towel-boy (hell I’m 43 years old, make that Towel-man)," Kevin, is in our spotlight this week.
Spotlight:
Kevin, as a rookie in the BFL, has fantasy football been the fun and excitement that you thought it would be? Also, with an impressive 113 points this past week, does your team have what it takes to make it to the playoffs?
The wife thinks I am upstairs on the computer surfing porn sites for three hours every night, when in fact I am upstairs surfing porn sites for only two hours every night. That other hour is actually spent reading stats, checking schedules, setting, re-setting and re-re-setting my team lineup for the greatest team in the BFL, the Average Joes. I actually thought about trying to trade a player and pick up a free agent once or twice, but I got confused, scared, ultimately lost interest and then it was back to the porn sites. Hey speaking of porn sites that reminds me, the BFL should have a draft party next year!! You know, a good old fashion sit down, face-to-face, non-virtual meeting of the minds. We can order up some pizza and hot wings, drink lots of scotch, smoke cigars, start a fire in someone’s kitchen, fly to Vegas, score some crystal-meth off Andre Agassi…wait…wait…does the BFL conduct random piss tests? (hmmm… this is me pondering for a moment.) Okay, okay, the pizza and hot wings will have to suffice and then someone can explain to me how the free agent and trade system works, cause I had it explained to me once… but that was years ago…by Andre Agassi…and he’d just done a ton of crystal-meth…with Brook Shields. (Very upsetting, she seemed like such a nice girl, I mean come on, Pretty Baby, Blue Lagoon, Endless Love – each film an undeniable classic.)Okay, let’s get back on point.
Are the Average Joes going to make the playoffs??!! (loud snort-laugh). My dear friend and former shop-brother [IADP reporter Antonio], the Average Joes are going all the way!!! This week, the Joes will continue down the road to victory on a healthy repast of “cheesesteaks” if you get my meaning (wink of the eye, nod of the head, nudge, nudge) - just check the schedule if you don’t get my meaning (another wink of the eye, another nod of the head, more nudges).
Previews:
The Bad-Ass Bug have quite the fight ahead of them. This week, they face the mighty St. Louis Pandemic of Love who are looking to do whatever it takes to get to another BFL championship game. As of this posting, the "Love" is favored, but with some front office work, "The Bug" could make this game a little tighter.
It looks like Dabalalas Coach Jim needs to go shopping at the Free Agent Market. The "Las" will be traveling to The Dancers, but as of this posting, The "Las" are faced with both a K and DST on byes, and they currently have no reserves to cover them. Of course, if it were up to The Dancers, that market would be closed as they are looking to rise up out of their slump.
The Good Kind of Limping Scrod have moved from the top of the BFL to the middle of the pack. Of course, right now the middle of the pack consists of 75% of the league. This week, they face the DaBruDoggies who, despite their mediocrity, have managed to win their last three games. An interesting fact, "The Scrod" is only one place above the "Doggies" on the score leader board.
The Pan Troglodytes and Running Wild are pretty even at this point in the season. Both teams are 5-3, they are both on top of their respective divisions, both are about the same on the score leader board and points allowed, and both are gurued to score major points this weeks. The outcome of this game may just be determined by the "Wild's" passing game against the "The Trog's" running game.
The Average Joes have some front office work to take care of. Two of their RB's, Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson, are on byes, leaving the "Joes" with only one starter. The "Joes" will need all the help they can get as they face the cheesesteaks, who are not only heavily favored, but are looking to overcome their disappointing 2 point loss last week.
Our lucky team of the week is the i c chargers. This game is right on time as the "chargers" are coming off of a two game losing skid and are in 3rd place in the toughest division in the league. Their opponents, the woebegone Easy Wins, are facing the "bye week shuffle" with two WR's on byes.
Good luck all! See you next edition!

Somebody told me that the Scrod is no longer limping, they are bedridden.
In reference to Kevin's suggeston of a draft party. The reason we don't do that is because everyone in the league is so spread out and have so many varying schedules. From Woodbridge, VA to Clarksburg, MD and as far away as California, that would be pretty hard to put together.
Now, as I mentioned at the start of the season, I'm willing to come over and help you figure things out. . . especially after some of the moves that I noticed you recently made.
Hmm...it seems to me that the Scrod are rather heavily favored against the Doggies this week. However, we at the Scrod HQ are not unconcerned. We are still doing our ritualistic dances entitled "PleaseDearGodLetDrewBreesBreakALeg."
En garde, Doggies, en garde.
Haven't you caught on to The Doggies game? They always wait til' the last minute to put their "real" players in. He always keeps his best players in reserve until the last minute.
