Sean (7-7) vs Kenneth (8-6) - This one is not over yet, but Kenneth would need a monster game out of Russell Wilson and for Cooper Kupp to forget where the stadium is. Doesn't seem likely.
Erin (7-7) vs Mark (8-6) - Erin is rolling with the covid squad and has a big hill to climb, but 3 spots left to play on Tuesday. I wasn't expecting to have Tuesday excitement!
Everybody else is looking like the Bears tonight... Hi Erica, you at the game?
One week left until the playoffs start. Here are the standings:
Kendra & Brandi (9-4), definitely in, probably getting first round-byes.
Mark, Kenneth & Cory (7-6), in unless something goes crazy.
Sean, Erin & Erica (6-7), only room for 1, and that person is probably going to need help. I can break this down and look at the match-ups, but I'm far too lazy for that. Besides, nobody is reading this anyway.
Ron & I... I don't know about Ron, but I gave up weeks ago. Approximately 12 weeks ago to be precise.
If you watched that wild ending to the Raiders-Ravens Monday night game, you saw a see-saw 4th quarter, some epic "Raidering" in overtime where the Raiders first appeared to win the game, benches cleared, only to have the ball placed on the 1... long story short, a boneheaded false start, interception, fumble, delay of game on the kicking team run-on, and completely busted coverage allowed Raiders to overcome their Raider-ness actually walk away with the W.
Erin was sad because another FG by the Ravens might have put her ahead of Kendra. Instead she lost 120.12 to 118.56.
Well, as it turns out, Kendra was bit by the stat-correction bug when George Kittle had a fumble taken off the stats, which causes a 2-point swing, just enough to give Erin the win 118.56 to 118.12.
According to the NFL, balls to the face does not equal a fumble. Here's the play in question... on-sides kick, muffed by Kittle, recovered by the Jets in a worthless blow-out loss.
Well, that didn't work. Click it I guess. Not a fumble... catch that Kendra?!?
I don't know if Kendra knows she lost, but because she hasn't texted me yet complaining, so I'm guessing that a no. Sorry Kendra, this is the first time I think I've actually seen a stat correction result in a game change.
Also, Fuck the Raiders. I forgot to say that before.
Thanks to everyone for joining The Upper Deckers again... draft was fun, maybe next year Ron will check his email.
I think Kendra might have actually drafted live this year, I only say that because of some really interestingly timed picks. That said, with exactly 1 game down this season she's already got 83 points with another 21 on the bench. Yikes, watch out! Kendra is back!
Here's how everyone stacked-up per Fantasy Pros...
Once again, auto drafters at the top... Kenneth looking strong at #2, and your favorite Taco rounding out the top 3.
One could look at past draft results to see how the final rankings work out. But then again, I said someone could, not that I was going to, because that would require effort. I spend all my effort shitposting this blog.
With that said, Pay up people...
I've gotten money from Kendra, Erica and Mark.
Everybody else, send your 20 American Freedom Bux to Jeremy-Hirsch-5 on Venmo (last 4 of my phone # 8698 to confirm). If you'd rather do zelle or something else, let me know.
