After 13 weeks our regular season has eliminated 5 teams from the big dance. The 14th and final week of regular games will determine whether its Donkey Power or BigTime Johnson that slips in as the #4 seed. I jotted down all the playoff possibilities, but its pretty unnecessary. Here's what should happen...
- RIP Al Davis
- Hunk Hoisters
- My Team -
- Donkey Power
WEEK 13: Awards
Owner of the week: Hunk Hoisters (129pts)
It was a high-scoring week and any one of three owners really could have been Owner of the week. RIP Al Davis had 125 this week and BT Johnson weighed in with 127. The win was a nice one for the Hoisters though, as it secured one of the top two postseason spots for him. I would officially like to thank everyone who put on the Hunk Hoister uniform this week. Everyone except you, Jason Hanson.
Player of the week: Cam Newton, 37pts (My Team -)
Figgy has more interceptions than touchdown passes this year but who cares when you have 13 rushing touchdowns. The panthers coach officially went on record two weeks ago when he said that Cam Newton is the teams goal line back. Newton is now the highest scoring fantasy player alive not named Aaron Rodgers.
[Honorable Mention: Aaron Rodgers, 31pts]
Double-take Award: Shonn Greene, 28pts (My Team -)
There were plenty of candidates for the double-take this week, but Greene takes the cake. Greene has always been around this season but just wasn't living up to his draft status. His previous high through his 11 games was 14 fantasy points and this week he doubles that total.
[Honorable Mention: Percy "Lord have Percy!" Harvin, 28pts]
Coaching move of the week: RIP Al Davis
This one was almost supernatural. In possibly the best coaching move of the year, Rick benches top 6 runningback Matt Forte who was not on the injury report and predicted to score 20pts. Team RIP also decided to bench the superstar for one Reggie Bush. Bush finished with 100 yards and a score while Forte tore his MCL and finished with 1 point.
Special Teams Award: 49ers D, 20pts (Hunk Hoisters)
The San Francisco 1949ers dominated the Rams sunday, finishing with four sacks and completely blanking them on the scoreboard. The league's #1 defense going into the week separated themselves that much further in week 13.
[Honorable Mention: Seahawks D, 15pts]
The Weekly Haha Award: The 16 non-Marshawn Lynch players on Team SFL, 77pts
77 points you ask? Thats not very good huh. Thats not the half of it, let me set the picture for you...
It was a gorgeous Thursday evening inside Century Link Stadium in Seattle, Washington. Seahawks runningback Marshawn Lynch was primed and ready to showcase his stuff on the NFL network. He did just that for Team suck for luck. Firing the initial salvo against the Hunk Hoisters and claiming an early 26-0 lead going into Sunday with 8 more players to go. The end result?
Thats right, team Suck for Luck finished with 57 points. Lynch literally scored more than 5 times the amount of each and every one of the 16 other players on his team. I can say this without any hesitation Troy, no team has ever sucked with more intensity than yours did this weekend. And I would like to therefore formally congratulate you on with this gold-plated Suck-for-Luck championship trophy...
after a quick unsuccessful google search, you'll have to settle for a t-shirt.
[Dishonorable Mention: DeMarco Murray, 3pts]
Thanks Caleb and Troy for entertaining me while sending in your dues. And no I will not go fumble myself. I'd like to leave you with the image of what takes place in my mind each and every week our fantasy teams go to battle.
==========================
If Tim Tebow has a religious thought, is it a Christian Ponder?
It was a pleasure playing you this week, Troy.
