It's crunch time! Man, the season suddenly seems to be going by quickly.

Way too quick Chef Way too quick...games to see trades to be...

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Honestly I hope they just shut him down for the rest of the year and he'll be keeper worthy next year................anyway, here ya go.

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back, hamstring) is reportedly dealing with a disc problem in his back. He'll receive treatment from a specialist in hopes of avoiding season-ending surgery.

 

[Chef99]

Wil, you have quite the flair for writing, I have come to look forward to your weekly recaps and forecasts. Just one question: between those and all the league breakdowns, where in the world do you find the time? This is obviously a labor of love, but man, it's a lot of work! Are you of the opinion that sleep is overrated? In any event, please don't stop.

 

[Scapegoat]

Good luck Lefty.

 

[leftypower]

Good luck Lefty.

Same to you ..........

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well that goes down as the greatest trade of the season... Ant B, Trent and the Chiefs for Jaquizz Rodgers!!

I knew Foster falling to me in the 2nd of my money league was too good to be true... as for trading for him in this league, ...well, I've got nothing...

Dennis Johnson? Worth taking a shot at this point, IMO.

 

[TKOSpikes]

currently sitting on my bench, Chef... along with four other RB darts.

 

[TKOSpikes]

one of which is Foster, who will have a new home soon... waivers.

Just picked up Johnson to see how it turns out. We are definitely two of a kind when it comes to making moves, TKO...in both baseball and football.

Just out of curiosity, besides Foster, what are your other RB darts?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Sorry TKO...............honestly though, for him it's better they shut him down and get it fixed.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Just out of curiosity, besides Foster, what are your other RB darts?

with Johnson, is Quizz (backing SJax, my RB2!!), Mendenhall (recently added from FA), and Ogbonnaya (also just added)... in my lineup with SJax, is Lacy (my rock and only non-QB I drafted left on my team), and in my flex this week, recently added Shonne Greene! (prior to last week, with Lacy was CJS, Fred and Andre Brown... I've probably made a boo-boo)

 

[TREFF]

Well Duff made his appearance. . Changed out the QB'S and K.. honestly I think he could have won without it.

Fielding offers for Ben Tate

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Good luck Joe...............ESPN has you whompin me pretty good.............and I like your matchups too.

I think you had the right idea here, but it obviously didn't work.

KC defense is nasty, but they will be hard to start over the next 3 (maybe 4?) weeks.

I know everyone hates Shonn Greene, but I think he's a decent add. I kinda wish I still had him on my bench.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Okay Luck, you got 5 second-half touchdowns in ya? Holy Rams!

 

[TREFF]

Well Duff made his appearance. . Changed out the QB'S and K.. honestly I think he could have won without it.

Guess I might get real lucky again, barring a huge game from D. Thomas... That new QB'S and K gained Duff a combined 1pt.

Week 10 Games of the Week

Bandit (5-4) vs. HaroldSeattle (5-4)

One of these once-proud franchises, both sporting three-game losing streaks, is going to lapse into total mediocrity. HaroldSeattle has led the Ostrogoths since the beginning and Bandit has led the league in almost everything else, but one of them will climb back to a respectable 6-4 and in decent position for the playoffs while the other will drop to 5-5 and be overtaken by the pack.


Microwahevo (6-3) vs. MilkSpiller (4-5)

Micro's Everchanging Punsters have taken a slim Power Rankings lead by virtue of being the only Barbarian better than 5-4, and are in contention for the breakdown and PF leads. Milk's Marsupials have won two after a four-game losing streak. A win by Micro will maintain his lead in a tough Huns division, while a win by Milk will keep him at least within a game of HaroldSeattle among the Ostrogoths.

Micro has a chance to overtake Bandit for the coveted breakdown lead, whose winner gets a golden ticket to the A League (now 1.5 games behind Bandit).


JDM (5-4) vs. Sox (4-5)

Similar to the game above, a contender for league dominance (JDM, 2nd in PF and 3rd in breakdown), trying to keep pace in the tough Huns division, faces a rebounding Ostrogoth (Sox, who has won three of his last four) who's trying to catch the free-falling HaroldSeattle.


TK (3-6) vs. the Drone (3-6)

These are the only 3-6 teams in the B League, and a loss will put one of them in seven-loss purgatory and on the edge of elimination.


Scape (3-6) vs. Lefty (7-2)

David vs. Goliath. The team at the bottom of the A League power rankings faces the team at the top. David seems to have found a pretty big rock in RGIII.

Despite being (for now) the weakest team in the league, Scape could tie for the Porthos division lead with a victory and a few convenient outcomes elsewhere.


Treff (6-3) vs. Duff (4-5)

Treff's swooning Fudpuckers face Duff's swooning Scatophagists (well, scatophagy would make anyone swoon). Both right now are projected playoff teams, but a loss could easily change that.

We hope Duff checks in to get himself a kicker and a QB....


TKO (5-4) vs. wilwhite (7-2)

Weirdly, TKO is the only 5-4 team in the A League, which puts him ahead of the pack but just out of playoff position. That will change one way or the other - win and he's a playoff contender; lose and he's back in the middle.


As Mentioned Elsewhere...

Monkey and Joe really need wins against Fuzzy and Sam to keep much hope of making the playoffs alive.

45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

And from the book of Lefty: "It came to pass that Fred, CJ, Jordy, Cecil, Jimmy & Kendall, weary from prior battles, laid down their swords and were slain. Leaving only the mighty Peyton and Panthers to carry forth the MBBRL banner. Lo, although they stood alone, great strides were made, but it was not enough on this day against the mighty army sent forth by Scape of Goat."
