The week is not over until the final game is played. Case
in point: Clitboner v. Vinegar Strokes. By the end of Sunday's game
Clitboner's team looked sad and floppy, and while Vinegar Strokes was
done for the week at 73.04 points it didn't seem like Julio Jones and
the Packers D could bring in 35 points. Both team's kickers - Robbie
Gould (for Clitboner) who went up against the Hawks and didn't even get
to attempt scoring and Matt Prater (for Vinegar Strokes) who
tried to score but failed - brought nothing to the table. The Stroke's
QB, Teddy Bridgewater, has so far had low scoring, odd numbered weeks,
including this one. Granted, there's only been 3 weeks in the season,
The Strokes need to consider stroking their roster a bit to fluff up the
performance.
Not in my Hauschka made a poor move on Thursday when she dropped Vince Jackson and picked up Matt Jones. She had faith in Jones, and decided to start him over Lamar Miller. Ultimately, it was a bad call and she could have gotten 4 more points if she had just left well enough alone. But Herban Fire made a decent call to pick up Not in my Hauschka's sloppy seconds with Vince Jackson. Yesterday's meatloaf is today's Sloppy Joe's, and as Herban Fire will tell you sloppy Joe's are delicious - he won on Monday night with great performances by his two Chiefs (Kelce and Charles).
What an odd match. Between Bout that Action and Victorious Secret four players scored zero points, three of them on Bout that Action's side. Before Monday's game Bout that Action led Victorious Secret 88.8 to 67.82. The Secret had a great performances from Randall Cobb (7 receptions and 3 TDs) and a pretty good one from Eddie Lacy; she managed to secure the win. Neither coach was thrilled with their team's performances this week but despite the zeros, they kept up respectable totals for the week. I'm betting these ladies make some roster changes come week 4.
Our high scorer of the week, The Eskimo Brothers, faced off against our low scorer of the week, Canning Queen. Darren Sproles (24.50) Joseph Randall (28.50), and Julio Jones (28.40) all made sweet love to the football with at least two TDs a piece. Twice in one round? I'd say that is worth noting in your Eskimo Brother Database. Most of Canning Queen's players got her less than 7 points with two exceptions: Jimmy Graham showed up for the Queen (and the Hawks!) with 7 receptions, 83 yards and a TD. Jarvis Landry (12.30) dropped a pass that ended up as an interception, but don't give up yet Canning Queen, apparently Landry has really big hands...put that in your EBDB for future reference.
The Legend and Rozzie Square faced off in a high scoring match. The Legend led Monday night- compliments of Adrian Peterson, who seems to be channeling his discipline problems into rushing yards and TDs; and Keenan Allen, who proves that even if he wants to one man can't carry a team (Allen scored both TDs in San Diego's 14-31 loss to the Vikings). Rozzie Square, despite having a significantly heavier left hand, held her own against The Legend with a stellar game by Cam Newton (28.9) and solid performances from Larry Fitzgerald (134 yards and 2 TDs), and Frank Gore (2 TDs). It came down to Jeremy Maclin's game on Monday night, if he could get over 10.44 points Rozzie Square would get the win - could he do it? With 141 yards and a TD, I'd say that's a yes!
Bobbum Man ended his losing streak by taking down the Kiegl Titans 114.72 to 60.68. A.J. Green blew up with a career high 227 yards, bringing in 34.70 points for Bobbum Man. But, Andre Johnson didn't bring home any bacon at all, so there is still room for Bobbum to improve. In a completely uncharacteristic move the Kiegl Titans started DeMarco
Murray, who was inactive in Sunday's game. She could have been saved if
the rest of her team had decided to show up, but if you aren't counting
the ex-duck Mariota (15.30), her high scorer, Ted Ginn, caught 4/6 receptions for 93 yards...T.Ginn...MMMmmmm...Tanqueray gin...

Leonard's League 15/16 Week Two
Hey folks! I'm freakin' swamped this week. Not much time to put together a solid football related update. But, we've got a streak going, and I can't just skip a week...so...enjoy :)
Not in my Hauschka, Victorious Secret, Rozzie Square and the Legend all kicked ass, and completely stole the win.
Bout that Action, Keigl Titans, Bobbum Man and the Canning Queen were the clear losers to our domineering group up above. And they were sad - see?
Herban Fire and Clitboner won, but there were a couple spots where they weren't sure if they would pull through.
The Vinegar Strokes and the Eskimo Brothers nearly pulled out a win, but just missed it.
Now we regroup for week 3:

Leonard's League 15/16 Week One
Welcome Leonard's League!
Week 1 is over and, is it just me or did that one fly by? I was all over the place this week and only got to watch one game in its entirety, and it made me sad. This week will be different though, Green Bay is going DOWN.
Not in my Haushka went up against The Vinegar Strokes and nearly died. With two seconds left in a game the Steelers were hopelessly losing, Antonio Brown managed a touchdown - starting the week with what proved to be an unnecessary extra 7 points for The Vinegar Strokes. Sammy Watkins scored a giant ZERO for Not in my Hauschka (to be fair he was shown up by Percy Harvin...) and Peyton Manning got 0.9 (how does a QB win a game with that?!). A great start for the Vinegar Strokes but a word of caution: don't get cocky, nobody wants to see those Vinegar Strokes too soon.
Victorious Secret was Victorious over Rozzie Square. What's her secret? Maybe Tom Brady (cheater), or maybe it's Eddie Lacy (19 carries, 85 yards, and TD)? I guess that's not much of a secret but it looks pretty damn good to start off the season. Rozzie Square...that's a Boston thing right? Wicked. She seems loyal to the Patriots, but their defense only got her 5.90 points; and her kicker, Vinatieri missed his field goal attempt and when the Colts went for 2 after both TDs he wasn't even allowed to try for an extra point. She's got Gronkowski and its tough to argue with that, but she's going to have to marshal her team into something a little better to be a competitor.
Bout That Action IS All Bout that Action boss! She showed up the Kiegl Titans with more flare than Marshawn Lynch rocking his Africa chain. She didn't just win, she nearly doubled the Kiegl Titans score. No surprise here but the Seahawks Defense helped her out with 30.90 points. The Kiegl Titans were brought down by underwhelming performances all around but especially by DeSean Jackson, his strained hamstring, and his zero points. At least your zero scorer was hurt, mine just sucked, see above.
Did you know that the Eskimo Brothers listen obsessively to Football talk radio? 'Cause he does, and with the G.O.A.T. currently residing on his mantle the rest of Leonard's League needs to consider exactly how to take this cold, networking man down! Herban Fire's very respectable team lit up the scoreboard and brought in 90.92 points but unfortunately that wasn't enough to stop the Eskimo Brothers (101.44).
"The Legend Comes from Behind to Edge Clitboner" Thank you NFL.com game recap for that special headliner. Clitboner and The Legend had the most friction filled match of the week separated by only 2.1 points The Legend started Thursday with DeAngelo Willams for 13.20 points, but Clitboner took over the lead on Sunday with nice performances by Robbie Gould (11) and Kendall Wright (101 yards and a TD). Jason Witten, and the Carolina Panthers Defense kept things pretty even for the The Legend. But on Monday Adrian Peterson rushed 31 yards and received 21 - after all that foreplay The Legend still finished first. Typical.
The Canning Queen is starting out the season in style. She got the high score of the week (141.44) and kicked Bobbum Man's Bobbum to the curb. Even with Carols Hyde (168 yards and 2 TDs) and Aaron Rodgers, Bobbum Man's team couldn't hold it's own against the Queen. As much as I love my Cougars (why do I punish myself? Portland State!?) I've got to hand it to Bishop Sankey, he looked great in pre-season and that carried through to game one - 12 carries, 2 TDs , 74 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards. At least he's not wearing purple and gold - now I can cheer for him.
Here comes week 2. Happy Football Everyone!!
Much Love,
