Week 9 Recap - If you ain't first...

Contributing Writer: Clay Hunt of Ertz When Eifert

This could be the worst recap ever...other than Alonzo's two years ago.

I struggle with how to recap the week. I'm sure you each know how your team did and how your opponent’s team did, so re-telling the story seems pointless. You've either already re-lived your victory or bringing it up again will burn like not properly rinsing the soap out of your lower regions, stings like hell but eventually goes away. And obviously, no one cares about anyone else’s team.

So I'm going to keep this simple and short...and try not to hurt anyone's feelings!!

I'm thinking just a few observations about fantasy football and our league...

First off, all would agree that Janelle is the Queen of the Castle league manager. No one puts the time and effort in that she does in any league I've ever been involved with. Including webpage, weekly stuff, draft, year-end party...everything. You rock, hands down!

That being said... hate the 5 receptions before you get the 5 pts. Would love to just do straight ppr.

Would love to consider a super flex option, where we could optionally play a qb/wr/rb...might be fun.

Auction draft is too much fun...FAB waivers are great.

Winning in FFB is 65% luck and then equal parts work, anger, yelling at the TV, disappointment...and drinking. And then drinking again, followed by yelling at the TV (and then your wife tells you to give up fantasy football, like you're Job, and diseased, and need to curse the FF gods and die)

The law of averages will kick my ass...6-0 start equals 6-6 eventually and first round loss in the playoffs...again.

I love that through the league I met and keep in touch with people who I enjoy, and probably wouldn't know as much about without it and sadly wouldn't have as much great exposure to. For example...

- Dana loves fantasy sports...like if fantasy sports was a blow-up doll...well, we can only imagine
- I never knew that adults liked Star Wars. That's very obviously a me problem...how and when did I miss the boat?
- I thought for sure the girls in this league had some sort of genetic disposition that enabled them to be amazing, turns out they're fallible like the boys...just took longer to manifest.
- I didn't know that Alonzo had a fetish for comfort foods. Cody's Cafe, Mesa Cafe...wait, I learned that through Instagram not fantasy football
- Tom likes beer, actually loves beer...like if beer was a blow-up doll...DANG IT, already used that one
- Mike Fountain has a sense of humor (great post the other week btw)
- Carlos' amazing season last year was quite obviously an aberration, welcome to reality...amigo
- I don't know Russ or Justin...at all. But I hate Lloyd Dobler and Prickly Prancin
- Finally...I miss my bro Vij!! (you can't talk trash about V, it's like looking at the sun...you're the one who gets hurt)

Without FF my weeks would be emptier, more boring...and less stressful. But I look forward to every week, every game, all the posts, the parties and friends. Thanks to all of you for the fun.

Enjoy last place LOSERS!! (haha) Cause if you ain't first...
