TMW here, the Seattle Arneson household handling the Commish duties for the week. First off a big thanks to Steve for doing this job: lots of complex steps go into making this complicated sausage that I was not aware of before I began this task. Props to the Commish. This opportunity only comes around once every blue moon (much less often actually) so I apologize in advance for my incredibly long, detailed account of the happenings in Week 11 of the AFFL. If you're looking for hackneyed NFL jokes and insight into the week that was in the AFFL...you've found the right place. Now let's get to it.
Big week for A&O! They're coming on hot (Jordy Nelson seems to come up big for them week in, week out). They are very much in the race for 3rd with a very big, very close win over Brett. Hawkeyes ride Matthew Stafford's arm to a big victory, solidifying himself as yet again the second best team in the league. Matt comes in with 12 points this week, helped out by that beastly LeGarrette Blount run (anyone else see that??). Pink scores 11 and stands atop that 5 team race for third place (good thing Phil Rivers doesn't lose points for turnovers amirite??). Brett's hot streak hits a speed bump as he falls to A&O in a CLOSE matchup. Man, Rob Gronkowski is the most insane thing to come out of Buffalo since Ryan Fitzpatrick's $59 million dollar contract. Viking Man scores 5 this week with a big game from V-Jack. Moose clocks in at 4, Preston scores a 2 and gets reeled in a little by Scott, and the Habs come in with the 1. As for TMW... he gets the win despite Eric Decker throwing up a goose egg. Who would've thought that Decker wouldn't get a catch with the pass-heavy, gunslinging show that is the Denver Broncos offense? What's that?.. Wait Tim Tebow's their starting quarterback? It's a sad day when you mumble to yourself, "I miss the good ol' days when Orton used to sling the ball around Denver" as you wipe away a lone tear. But hey, you never know...maybe Tebow will shovel pass an 8 yard touchdown or "jump throw" a 4 yard game winner to your favorite Broncos receiver/fullback someday in the near future. The dream isn't dead... 6 weeks left in this race, plenty of shuffling still to be done. Don't give up on your teams, work that waiver wire. Those shrewd moves can make the difference during the stretch run so put in your time. Work different combos of your line ups, experiment experiment experiment. Your hard work will pay off when you're looking back at the season in March, celebrating how you pulled out a 3rd place finish with your top 2 picks in the draft out much of the year. And you'll learn something on your way to the top... I think Miley Cyrus put it best when she wrote, "Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side, It's the climb." The Waiver is being pulled at 1 pm EST Saturday. God speed, teams. God speed.
Oh and some guy won pool picks. Good luck and God bless.
