Week 5 Color Commentary

Week 5 has come and gone and we really starting to see some separation between the haves (myself and Moose) and the have-nots (everybody else). Is it some random coincidence that your weekly bloggers are sitting at the top of the point totals and perched #1 and #2 in the projected playoff bracket? I think not. Logically, any loser with enough free time on their hands to spend an hour a week writing about Fantasy Football would also spend a comparable amount of time researching players. In this league, losers... become winners!

Props to Moose this week for going 6-1 on his picks. If Dagan's team had not fielded such an unhappy scrotum (sad sack) of a team, Moose might have finished perfect. When 22 of your 78 points come from your kicker, your team has issues.

The Brady - presented to our top scorer

(Formerly known as the Justin Bieber award. The Biebs poked fun at Brady's new Dufresne-style creepily long haircut and the story made the ESPN homepage. I guess when the only pro sporting event on a given day is hockey, ESPN has to dig a little deeper for 'news'. Also, do anyone else's nipples sit that low? Makes me feel very self-conscious about my shoulder-level areolae.)

Out of absolutely nowhere, Mauger throws up 172! What the F? In spite of his D/ST scoring -3 and leaving a 14 point Bucs D on his bench, nonetheless. Dave got 30 points each out of Brandon Lloyd, Malcolm Floyd, and Hakeem Nicks. This team will fall back to mediocrity next week, but we have our best 2-3 squad here.

The Douche of the Week Award for Team Mismanagement

This week's prize goes to Dufresne. Sure, he still won his game, but it was much closer than it ought to have been. Andy threw in Lance Moore at WR, a guy that must sit 8th on the Saints depth chart, and was rewarded with one point. I can somewhat understand overlooking the Niners' Crabtree and his 22 points, but Raiders RB Michael Bush? Put down your kids for a second and check who's starting before game time, chief! No one getting 26 carries should ever ride your pine.

HOSED!

This little award goes to Steph, so I unearthed one of her college Spring Break Photos. I remember when she was a tan brunette with Double-D's... it just seems so long ago.

In any case, this was an exciting finish with Tony Romo sending one pass too many to Dufresne's Roy Williams and one too few to her Miles Austin. In the end, a loss by just 8/10ths of a point is a tough pill to swallow.
