Week Eight or I Wouldn't Have Benched Payton For Big Ben Either.

As always, let's start things out with a couple of videos to cleanse our wrap up pallets.

First up is a little clip from Windy City Heat.   A movie about the making of a movie.   Everyone in this movie (with the exception of the guy in the chair) are part of an extensive prank that had been going on for years.   The movie is damned funny and would be a great one to watch together on a late night with all you jokers.   There would be many times we would have to stop for laughter and rewind to watch the crazy stuff Perry (the guy in the chair) says and does.

Not great but realtively short.   I just stumbled upon this clip.   It's worth it alone for the slap at 1:00.

Biggest Blowout 

I thought I was going to have a shot at this but the gap between Chris' Bobbuman and Howard's GIRTHQUAKE was bigger than the gap in Michael Strahan's teeth.

The 110.85 differential is a season high and may be an all time high for the league (Commish do you have any old stats?).   Luckily Howard has been here before, so he should not be too shaken by the loss.   (Ha, a pun....shaken.....GIRTHQUAKE......um, O.K.).   Chris has to be happy that he is still rolling strong and may just move up a few spots to land in the playoff.   6th place in week eight isn't so bad in a 12 team league off a win like this (especially when The Paper Tigers AKA WWJD are sweating out loss number 2 at fourth place).

VINNY.   (nothing about Vinny really comes up here, but it always makes him happy when he appears in the wrap up.)

Now, let's switch out a little Gap Tooth Grin for Black Tooth Grin. (RIP Dime.)

Too Close For Comfort
One of the best parts about my role as Weekly Wrap Up guy is posting clips from the old Sitcom or clips of Jim J Bullock.   One of the worst parts about my role as Weekly Wrap Up guy is posting clips from the old Sitcom or clips of Jim J Bullock.  The well is running dry.   Quick Lassie, find mommy and daddy...Timmy has fallen down the well.......

We'll get back to that later.   Let's look at this classic, "If I would have only.." matchup.

8.5 is not that small of a difference to really turn the needle (but you need to check out that bench burn to see why this is a TCFC classic moment).   It seems like once a year Big Ben Roethlisberger puts enough points that you regret drafting him.   You know he was only going to get a start if your #1 was on a bye or got hurt.   This was such a week for The Big Man's Team Weng Weng.   102 pts for one position?   Heck, that is Russ' whole team on an average week. (not really, I did the math.   it would be 119.50625).

Sorry, but that's the best I have.   


Highest of the High

 
What can I say?  It's an honor to be here again.   Only the 3rd time in this 12 team league to have a team hit over 200  points (and also the highest yet this year).  249.45 is nothing to sneeze at.   All offensive positions were not only in the double digits, but also in the 200+ range.   The season is far from over, so no reason to get cocky and sit back on one's laurels.

Week 7 Showdown

As promised Metal Mike's Worst Team Ever VS.....(whoever).

SilverLakeTrashmouth are looking at a bye heavy week and Worst Team Ever are looking at ....welll,,,,they are looking at what may be the team that dethrones The Manhawks as the leagues dog of dog teams.  I have to stay neutral and not pick a team, but it would reaaly be sad to see the Manhawks vaulted into the 2nd worst slot....

Damn....I have to wrap up.   

Let's end things with proof positive that Russ kicks ass (and so does Scott).   Two of my bestest friends and also one of my favorate bands.
