APFFL Week 8: Ocho Stinko
So here we are again.
Another weekend in our storied AP Fantasy Football League and we're all a little wiser, a little stronger and a little more into listening to Andrew Bird (in my case, at least).
Unfortunately, I've gotta make this an abridged version of the rundown, because I leave for L.A. in 23 hours and just this instant remembered that I'll need to pack tonight.
So let's get right to it:
Dandy Van Slykes (104) def. Chicago Quails (87)
I seriously have no idea how this happened. Nobody could've expected me to take out one of the top teams in the league in Chris' Quails, but, hey, fantasy football is a fickle, fickle mistresss (the third "s" is for "sorry I'm so awesome, Chris."
Milwaukee Milkmen (101) def. Venice Marmots (83)
Laura and the Marmots put their faith in Bills quarterback Trent Edwards and, like Bills fans everywhere, she had to stare the stark face of defeat in the eye. Yeah yeah, I know the Bills are in first place or something. But it didn't matter because Zach had Brian Westbrook and his 3,390 rushing yards.
Cleveland Hasselhoffs (83) def. Awesometown Unicorns (55)
Against his best efforts, Zak and his Hasselhoffs managed to snag a win. If Cam had played Kurt Warner instead of Tony "Yep, I'm still injured but still exceptionally pretty" Romo, she mighta made it a contest.
San Diego Whale Vaginas (81) def. Rambunctious Coons (77)
Ronny and team Rambunctious obviously didn't get word that RB Larry Johnson wouldn't be playing because he can't stop beating people up in the real world. That definitely hurt him in his bid to knock the much-vilified Scott Heisel from the medal podium. Both teams are now sitting at 4-4 now.
Team Marcella (38) def. Team Exitonefiftytwo (27)
It's crazy how low-scoring teams always end up to play each other. I mean, Ben and Exitonefiftytwo had a 6-1 record coming into this week, yet Heather's 38 point output was enough to add a second loss to his total.
I Hate California (77) def. 85 Mafia (64)
Finally. I can say it. Katie managed to eek out her first victory of the season, and it came against Jen who just got her first win last week. I'm almost certain that Katie hasn't looked at her team in about two weeks since she's possibly the third or fourth most rampant Steelers fan in the world and she hasn't started any Steelers since their bye week. But her JV team was able to rally together and throw a win in her record--which she'll notice sometime in mid-December when she decides to check her team again.
Sorry again for the brevity, guys.
But I got socks to pack.
And before that: socks to find.

hey ive been totally listening to andrew bird nonstop lately
how strange...
Congratulations on your big win.
Jerk.
Over the past month or two, I've been discovering how totally hopeless I am at fantasy football.
I've also been discovering what a pain in the ass W.B. Yeats can be and how much college students really drink, but those are stories for another time.
Either way, a toast to my dismal performances. Cheers, mate!*
*No, really, they say that here! It's not a joke. Well, it kind of is.
