Week 3....well, *bleep*

 So the title works in multiple ways. Likely how Hamilton Rod and Gun, (who is 1-2, but one of three teams with over 400 points through 3 weeks) is feeling. His loss this week to Pedro Pickles probably left him doing something like this:


HRG is wondering when he gets to play someone who DOESN'T put up a lot of points; he's got the most points against this year, and it's not particularly close (45 more than anyone else). His 161.5 points in a loss is the most in league history, eclipsing the previous record of 159.5 set by Jeff Fisher Effect in 2018. I know that's how I looked the next morning so....

It also looks like this might be the year Provost Magic returns. He's 3-0,has the most points in the league, and his highest scoring player last week was James freaking Robinson (who was undrafted both out of college and in our fantasy league).

Pedro Pickles pulled out a victory on Monday night, posting the 5th highest score in league history. He had THREE players put up more than 30 points.

Hardcore Sucks (top-5 all-time name change) was lucky the Chargers were chasing on the scoreboard (for someone ungodly reason against the very bad Panthers) and Austin Ekeler put up a day. HOAT (bottom-5 non-name change) got concussed by Diontae Johnson getting concussed, or he might still have won.

Boobies (heh)? Well, he put a few guys in his lineup. Which seems to be about all you need to do to beat Iron Ryan these days. For the second straight year, he's in the bottom two in scoring (more on the guy atually at the bottom later).

HRG is pissed he didn't get to play Utah Falco this week. Falco and DVD combined for 166 points, which would have made for a closer matchup than HRG had against Pickles. Falco is effed without CMC. That 2-0 start looks like a mirage now.

I saved the worst for last though. The Jeff Fisher Effect can only HOPE to win a game this year with the utterly talentless roster (other than Russell Wilson) he's assembled. Honestly, I actually feel a bit like Jeff Fisher; you win a championship, think you're good, and then within 3 years, your team is shitty again and they're probably going to fire you. (Can you fire a fantasy manager?) Maybe I'll get lucky, and they'll replace me with someone as good looking as Sean McVay. (Kate can only hope.)


So we'll move on to Week 4. But not before I drop what might be the greatest GIF of all-time, courtesy of one Cameron Jerrell Newton.


I have to say: I admire his commitment to the bit. Sliding ALL the way to ground was a bold choice. You can bet I'll be using this one again.
