Happy Nordic Week in the ARNEson Fantasy Football League!
Arne means “eagle” in old Norse terminology but we’re not talking about the team in Philly – this family bleeds purple and gold with their Nordic brethren. It’s a regular Vikingfest (not the TV show, much to the chagrin of all you Skarsgard heads out there) in Week 10 of the league as Captain Kirk takes home the 15 prize while his team’s namesake gains his first Monday Night Football victory and a big win in the playoff push for the hometown Vikes. Someone (preferably of the Norwegian persuasion) needs to put Matt Nagy and da Bears on a majestic ship, ignite that ship in flames and push it down the Chicago River and into the unforgiving, frigid plumes of Ol’ Gusty, Lake Michigan because that team is as good as two yards under at this point. Purple People Eaters, another trusty devotee of the Twin City Men of the North, scores a big time 13 as he continues to threaten the throne of the Tenacious Warrior. Hawkeyes (who might as well go by Golden Gophers this week), has penned 10,000 love letters to the football squad of the 10,000 lakes (as well as dying 10,000 tragic deaths unto them) and thus comes up with another win to stay in the hunt for perfection as does Pink (nay Purple) Panthers, a secret lover of Minnesota sports. Fantasy Football Team sinks back a bit as she drops a game to Hawkeyes, the Viking mojo being too all-encompassing.
VIKINGman (that’s just too easy) takes home the pool picks as his beloved Purple Players win him the week with a 10-spot Monday night. Whammy and Minnesota Moose advance in Survivor with non-Viking related picks.
