Week 6 Recap

Welcome! We're Blogger Big Time now! I have really been wanting to use pictures and links and videos. So I thought it was time for a change.

Ok - this week is going to be in two parts. First: Alex v. Brian. Second: Your teams, if they were objects in my house.

BATTLE FOR LAST(ISH) PLACE! Alex came into the week, looking for his first win and Brian came into the week looking to stay in the playoff race. It was like watching Little League Tee Ball - someone had to win, but man, its just some really dumb 6 year olds running around, not really understanding the sport. Brian had **checks notes** the fewest points in the league for the week, which seems about right. This was despite his defense getting **double checks notes** ELEVEN SACKS?! Holy Moses. That's a lot. Is this the turn around that Alex needs? Conceivably, by week 8, both Alex and Brian could be in the playoff picture. But... really? No. Its not going to happen.

PICTURES! (in order of league standings):

House Hilton (Matthew) - I ordered these hand drawn baseball cards back in early September and then kinda forgot about them. Apparently they got lost in the mail and then they showed up last week. It was a pleasant surprise! Like these cards, Matthew winning the league is unique and fun. But also, kinda weird. Has Matthew won the league before? Where were my cards for two months? Where they with Matthew, hiding from us? So many questions still to be answered.

Rolls Royce Freeman (Bowlsby) - Just like this plant, it looks pretty good right now. It's flourishing, getting all those points. Its got a bright future. It's crushing, despite other plants having decent weeks. But deep down inside, you know come December, this thing is going to be brown and dying. Withered and sad, broken leaves just like Barkley's knee or Connor's ankle. Nothing gold can stay.

Ochocinco Reborn (Doug) - This is the face of disappointment. I get it Dexter. I've brought shame to your family. You don't understand - I had a decent week! I'm still tied for the best record! Don't judge me cat. With your cute tiny paws and fuzzy belly. I got negative points from one of the top defenses in the league... you can't blame me for that. I know that Dexter is going to puke on my pillow just to show how displeased he is in me. Not the finest week in the Fritchell household.

Flip Flopkins (Kelly) - This stout had a bad weekend. It was fermenting a little harder than we planned and spewed all over itself. This beer looks questionable and is grumpily bubbling about losing, how the season is over, and at best it'll be a mediocre porter, not the tasty oatmeal coffee stout it was supposed to be. But, despite everything, it's going to be fine. Give it a month or so, and its going to be, once again, one of the best beers in the house.

I Touchdown There (Nick) - It always feels like, no matter how hard you try, Nick shows up in the playoff hunt. Nick is a dental bill. It's not expensive or painful, but it shows up and you gotta deal with it. And it seems like, more often than not, around January, I have to send both a check. I think I might start paying my dentist in quarters as well.

SuckMyHawk (Kyle) - A staple in the league and in my closet. They are never the focal point; but they are reliable and I like them around. Kyle is somehow a game behind first place and it feels out of no where. That has nothing to do with these shoes... but I'm pretty impressed with that fact. Good job Kyle, you sneaky sneaker. Ha. A shoe joke!

Hold Ma Dick (Brian) - A week ago, these were tasty weeknight fajitas. Marinated, thrown onto a cast iron skillet. It was a really good dinner. A week later, its a sad, bland leftover, that lost to Alex.

The Injury Report (Alex) - Since we bought our house, we have planned on replacing this ceiling fan. It's fine and we need it in the house, otherwise the summer air gets stagnant. Given a better option, we'd probably replace it. But, that seems like a lot of work and I don't feel like making the effort right now. I'm sure its seen better days in the past, but its dated and half the light bulbs are broken. Luckily, its hidden in an area we don't use often so no one pays it much attention.

See you in Week 7!
