🏈AFFL Week 3

 

Another week has passed and football season is in full-swing as we enter October - the best time of year for sports. With the baseball playoffs arriving (the Mariners are a game and a half out - get them M’s up - Mooses!), basketball season tipping off early and America’s game, football, going strong, in the immortal words of Grace Slick, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.” As Chris Berman says on The Blitz, “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” 

The Moose Whammys her middle child’s squad thanks to a signature Josh Allen performance (get used to that phrase). Matt defeats his older brother, Brett (due to a well-balanced attack) in a rivalry that dates back to 1995. Pink Panther dominates her own father in a lopsided affair. A & O knocks off her Aunt Jo and Uncle Lane as it turns out Tom Brady is not Superman’s cousin, merely Thor’s uncle. Steve lays the hammer to nephew Nick after getting monster games from his wide outs. Lastly, Elle beats out her cousin Preston with help from a powerful run game and not much from A-Aron (too busy playing the ukulele - “Mahalo, Kiki.”) 

PPE takes home the fiver in pool picks with a whopping 120, only missing two games. Preston advances in Survivor with a phantom delay of game and goalpost assistance from the kicker gods.

Good luck to all in Week 4!

🏈AFFL Week 1

 

Week 1 of the 2021 AFFL season is in the books and it was a doozy. WHAMMY picks up the high points (not that it matters in this year’s new format of scoring - in the words of the late, great Al Davis, “Just win, baby!”). Oh captain, my Captain Kirk - Brett holds off The Planeteers despite the Monday Night Vegas action as Nick comes storming back with a vengeance in his return to The League. Prangsters fall to the Moose in their first game back on the field after a hiatus (Planeteers and Prangsters are two creative gems in the name department, though). 

A & O picks up the Lincoln as they take home the first week of pool picks, thanks to a wild Raiders overtime victory on MNF. Viking Man and WHAMMY drop out of Survivor after the Falcons and Bills lose but they’ll buy their way back in with a pair of Lincolns. 

Check the Waiver Wire if your team is banged up and get your lineups and picks in before Thursday night - welcome back, everyone!
