The Mommy Problem....
Rambling after week 3...
Ah yes, a Vikings victory. It only took a team whose home stadium was blown over by a hurricane to come to town for the boys to wake up and play a full football game. Well, hopefully they can keep it rolling as the Falcons are up next. That's means Vick owners - Ben - should be happy cause it seems like most of the Vikings LB's were just about driving cars by the time Vick was born. Anywho....a win is a win, so let's be happy and leave it at that for now.
So on to the BIGFFBL.
Week 3 was odd. Wong left Steve Smith and his 46 points in the tiebreaking position. Shaun Alexander scored 4 TD's on his way to 38 fantasy points (with 0 receiving points). Torry Holt goes for 31 while Daunte wakes up and hits for 33. Bryan Westbrook scored a bunch on the ground and in the air for his 38. And oh yea, that LT guy put up 52 for Team Juice. Let's say you put together an all-star lineup of Daunte, LT, Shaun/Westbrook, Holt, Smith, Witten (20), Rackers (16) and the Bengals (18) - you'd have scored 234 points....not too shabby. But out of all those guys/teams I've named, only Jonny doubled up with the Bungles and Daunte. That just shows me how well the big boys in our league our distributed.
Anyway, how did the teams in the league end up doing? Well, Rico had 72, but other than that, no one went less than 92. In fact, the losing scores of the week were 72, 92, 96, 97, 111 and 115.
The winning scores were 103, 114, 124, 127, 128 and Jonny's 141. Again, not too shabby.
The total points scored for the week were 1,320. Believe it or not, it was only the 3rd highest scoring week in the league (as far as my records go) since 2000. 1,333 (Week 7, 2000) still holds the top spot.
Suomala's Flying Hellfish remain the only undefeated team in the league at 3-0 while Jonny and Ben share the Husky lead at 2-1 and Smith and Jason lead the Bulldogs with the same record. Upcoming this last week before the divisional matchups start up is a big game between the 'Fish and the 'Horse.....
Everyone but Rico has picked up a W - and with the LB's next up for Cutts and Co., that opening W might have to be pushed back yet another week.
Since it's getting late and I have more of a life than a year ago when I was in school, I'm gonna close this down, but I'll end with a joke.....
A wife comes home one night and finds a note on the counter from her husband - "Honey, I am going to be out tonight. You're 54 year old body isn't quite able to keep up with my needs, so I am taking my 18 year old secretary out for dinner and to the Comfort Inn this evening. I will be home by midnight."
The husband returns home at 5 past midnight and finds a note from his wife next to his note on the counter, "Dear, if you didn't realize, you also are 54 years old and can not quite keep up with my needs either. Therefore, I am taking my 18 year old tennis instructor out for dinner and a movie. Also, in case you don't understand the mathematics, 18 goes into 54 quite a few more times than 54 goes into 18, so I'll see you tomorrow at noon."
Need I say more?
