So not to quote myself… but 2nd sentence of the 2nd point in the inaugural 2018 post: “why would I set the week 3 wager game as the Monday night game (Steelers @ Bucs). Basically any other game that week would be a better one.” So yea… I went ahead and set the wager game to that one… and I’m actually not really sure it’s going to be a good game for Steelers fans (Tomsley?). Bizarre times in the Wizardly word of Ryan McGregor.
I’m so pumped to have Sandie’s help… what you’ll probably notice is that when she participates in the blogs, they’ll be much better, more thorough, and also offer statistical insight.
So two lessons for this week…
1. Go Big or Go Home
Go Big – The big catch – Keelan Cole’s absurd and crazy one-handed fingertip catch is being called the best catch in the NFL since O’Dell Beckham’s in 2014. And he finished the drive by catching the touchdown pass, tossing the ball to the crowd, and running into the player tunnel. Jacksonville beat New England 31 – 20. Speaking of gaining… Cassie & Gary were our league BIG GAINERS this week moving up 14 spots… they did ok, but mostly just benefited from a lot of folks having garbage picks in part thanks to the garbage Giants.
Go Home – Vontae Davis – The Bills are so bad that dudes are just starting to retire at halftime… like “hey, it’s not going to get any better the second half of this game or the second half of this season… so why not?” The Bills are down 28-6 at halftime so he walked into the locker room, said “I’m done,” changed his clothes and went HOME! Silver lining… a spot opened up for Dylan.
Bill Hytree, the lesson is – don’t be a quitter! Yes, you were the loser this week sliding down the ladder 17 positions and posting the low score right behind Huey (Ryan to be specific)… but hey you’re not in last place, sorry Zach.
There’s still hope for you guys just like Browns fans hope for a new kicker. They weren’t the only ones though, I read there was 19 missed kicks this weekend! Did they move the goal posts and not tell them?
2. We all just Have to Stay Humble
FitzMAGIC was back again this weekend! The second best quarterback in the NFL throwing 402 yards and 4 touchdowns! A handful of brave souls picked the Bucs for a point or two… a few daredevils rolled the dice with a 4 pointer. Hmm well they pulled it off…27-21 win over the reigning Eagles! Fitzy also wins the best photo in the NFL this week! Superstars dress like this, not back-ups!
The best lesson and best dressed of the week goes to our league leader Dylan – Grow out the beard, dress cool, borrow some chains, but always remember to stay humble and drink the chocolate milk! He’s off hunting now, but said that he’ll be submitting this week’s picks via an owl that he’s training in the forest… he’s going to stain his selections on elk skin parchment.
Good luck and you never know what will happen next week!
