Week 13 - 2008 Recaps!

Moy’s Boys vs Scott’s Jocks

As the days get short
And the winds become colder
Fluttering leaves cry.

For the season now
Like the rain-fed rivulets
Is lost forever.

The tears for Moy’s Men
Are especially bitter
With early hopes dashed.

They were once envied,
Triumphant at 4 and 1
Leading all but one.

But 8 straight losses
Led to no chance at playoffs
And no redemption.

This game was for pride,
And Moy’s boys did much better
Yet still came up short.

Doomed by fleet-footed
receivers named Brown, Curtis,
And one Plaxico

Combining for four.
Negating stellar games from
Romo and Westbrook

Scott had no one stud,
But had many helping out,
Like Rodgers and Jones.

And so the season,
Concludes for one owner and
Goes on for another.

In these cold, short days
Where all our seasons must end
Savor, savor wins,

For they are fleeting.
And don’t despair in defeat
For that too shall pass.

Pete's Bobcats def. Mel's Sluts (121-100)

With a playoff secured, the fancy dressin', corner hangin' gals from SF had little to play for in Week 13. Meanwhile despite a disappointing 2008 campaign, the not so ferocious felines from the East Bay were looking to end the season on a positive note by defeating their card-playing arch nemesis, fighting to stay one game ahead of the hapless Surf Riders and avoid tying for the league's record for futility. Well, it was mission accomplished for Pedro and his gridiron gang. QB Jay Cutler led the way with a 357 yard, 2 TDs, and 21 point performance, while QB Matt Ryan capped off his rookie season with yet another strong outing, thanks to a not too shabby 207 yards, 2 TDs, and 19 fantasty points. There was also a Tony Gonzalez sitting, as the KC tight end produced 110 yards, 7 first downs, and 18 points. Pete also got production from RB Steven Jackson (16 points) and the Dallas D (14 points). All of that was enough to put the 'Cats over the top and at least for one last week enjoy the elusive taste of victory.

Across the gridiron, Mel's gals hit the century mark thanks in part to WR Greg Jennings, who hauled in 91 yards, a TD, and a 2-pointer. Meanwhile RB Larry Johnson managed to not only rumble for 92 yards and a TD, but also avoid any sideline altercations with members of the SF female posse. Still, the Sluts were clearly looking ahead to the playoffs as QB Chad "Me Miss NY" Pennington could only muster up 7 fantasy points, while counterpart Matt "I'm More Than a Backup" Cassell was distracted by a Giselle Bundchen siting and outdid Pennington in the lackluster performance department with negative 2 points due to 4 turnovers. And let's not even discuss the goose egg WR Vincent Jackson laid on Sunday.

Bay City Steamrollers 176 Joe's Mother Tuckers 122

The Steamrollers are looking strong strutting into the playoffs, with 176 total points and another 135 on the bench. McNabb had 4 touchdowns and 35 points, while Chris Johnson rushed for 125 yards, 2 TDs and 29 points. I predict that there may be trouble on Topeka Avenue come Montana Mile Bowl Sunday. Meanwhile, even though the Mother Tuckers lost, they still put up enough points to edge the valiant 'Cats out of the playoffs. I can't help but think back to the week when I forgot to set my lineups and easily lost to Scott when I could have easily won. Why can't I forget that week? Because it is immortalized by this lone chat session in the desolate place known as the Montana Mile League Scoreboard Chat Room:

Scott Lee(Sun 10/26 2:10PM): hey sei!Scott Lee(Sun 10/26 2:10PM): i bet you are not even looking at this scoreboard chat.Scott Lee(Sun 10/26 2:10PM): but both you and i benefited from two bad managers. not a fun way to win, but i guess a win is a win.

Maybe I should go check out the abandoned Montana Mile League Forum, to see if I can read about any other of this season's failures that have been frozen in amber.

Nelsons (119) defeat NSC (108)

This game meant nothing to Christine. This game meant a possible #4 seed and home field advantage for Kanako’s Nelsons in the wild card. What ended up happening? One team played like they cared and the other one didn’t.

Caring team: Larry Fitz (22), Titans DST (17), Kurt Warner (19), Gus Frerotte (18), Brandon Jacobs (17)

How can you win with Gus Frerotte at starting qb? Ask Kanako!

Do not care team: Peyton Manning (0), Philip Rivers (6), Anquan Boldin (6), Bills DST (8), Brandon Marshall (9)

I guess Jason Witten didn’t get the memo, he put up 24 in a losing effort.

The wildcard round has already started. The recaps are over . . . unless someone cares to post their own playoff recaps. I know it probably won’t be Peter or I. We be lazy. We be busy.
