Germs and infectious microbes, happy Halloween! We here at the Mashup hope your day is filled with fear, fright, and torment as we enter the 2nd half of another bizarre fantasy football season. Considering how your seasons have gone so far (except for Zach), I think we've already got enough fear, fright, and torment for a decade. And if you're anything like the Redskins offensive line, you'll keep hospital wards in business for years to come.
Costume of the year goes to Zach Miller and his incredibly inflexible knee:
Makes you wonder what other outstanding costumes we've seen over the years. Vote for your favorite!
That last one is incredibly lifelike!
Any others I'm forgetting (I know there has to be).
How did the champ do: If Dewey had to choose either his current fate or trading places with Kevin Ware, well, let's just say that Kevin Ware's situation was slightly tempting to choose. In the worst game result for a defending champion in the history of MIISFFL (and considering JP was defending champ last year that's saying something), Zach took Kevin Ware's tibia and sliced it through his heart. Not a single position for Dewey scored double digits and 4 positions scored 2 points or less, including a -2 from Jameis Winstion. Dewey had probably his worst day as a fantasy owner as defending a title has become a scary proposition in and of itself. Zach didn't need the help, but he certainly didn't mind. He posts another >150 score thanks to two 30+ point efforts from DeAndre Hopkins (who needs practice anyway?) that dude from Pittsburgh with the weird name who got Martavis Bryant all bent out of shape. Zach is looking like he's ready for a return to the title game in 2017 after destroying Dewey in this rematch of the title game from 2016 by a count of 152-40. Yes that is not a typo. 40.
Game of the Week: After stumbling out of the gate like Barbaro (speaking of broken legs), Chris has certainly righted himself. After 182 last week, he backed it up with a solid 119-108 win over Sean to climb back to .500 for the first time this season. Chris was left for dead at 0-3, and then 1-4, but 3 convincing wins in a row has him right back in the playoff chase, all of which he scored 119 points or more. Sean is treading water at 3-5, right above Dewey in the standings. While that might not be as painful as some of the costumes we've seen above, Sean is running out of time to get his team back on track. The good news for Sean is that his tight end will not lose his leg, which upgrades him from a probably out to a definitely doubtful for next Sunday. The Ol' Dirty Beckhams will be having tight end try-outs later this week.
Blowout of the Week: In addition to Dewey's funeral mentioned above, Nate bent over like Paul George's ankle getting doubled up by Patrick 160-80. At Grotto's, Nate was coming to grips with his fate very early in the day as only Gronk was able to make it to his projection. Like Zach, Patrick didn't need the help, but he was glad to take it. Like Chris a week before, Patrick raced out to a huge lead on Thursday as the Ravens' defense (homer...) posted a shutout against the Miami Marine Mammals and got the big bonus that goes with that, giving Patrick a 40-point lead before Sunday even began,. His running backs got 20 points apiece (but no more Ewok Elliott, MWAHAHA!) meant that Drew Brees didn't even need to show up, which was a good thing because he didn't. Perhaps he was too shaken by looking at Zach Miller's costume. Nevertheless, Patrick gets the weekly pot award and climbs to 5-3.
Futility Bowl: In what was looking like a walkover for the original champion of MIISFFL, playing the 2nd champion of MIISFFL, Nick looked to do to Kent what Zach and Patrick did to their opponents. Nick got the win, but it wasn't exactly a blowout hanging on 87-74 over Kent. I guess all the knees and lower extremity injuries were enough blowouts for these guys this week. Kent got a zero, and Nick's best score was from a kicker and a backup running back. Yep, that screams futility bowl material right there. Despite the lack of offensive output, favorable scheduling has kept Nick right in the middle of the pack at 4-4 only a game out of first place in the NFC. Kent's goose is cooked at 2-6 and in the wrong division with Zach sitting up top at 7-1 and the wild cards 3 games ahead as well.
This week's other results:
Jeff (5-3) defeated JP (4-4) 97-90
Bruce (5-3) defeated Tom (1-7) 107-106
Weekly pot winner: Patrick (160 points)
That concludes the 2017 MIISFFL SPOOKTACULAR! We at the mashup hope you had a Menacing time and we wish you luck erasing the images of those broken bones and joints from your memories.
