BIFL - Week 6 Review B

As most of you probably know, there is an ongoing game on the BIFL message board wherein one of us puts up a few quotes from a classic movie and the rest try to identify it. The fun is not really in guessing, but in reminding ourselves of some of the old movies we love. Recently, I chose an absolute favorite of mine from back in the day, but so far nobody has guessed it. Since I can't bear to go any longer without acknowledging the brilliance of this film, I hereby present...


Hot Shots! Part Deux. The rare sequel that was better (in this case, funnier) than the original. When this movie was coming out, there was an HBO "making of" special that, at the time, was the funniest thing I had ever seen. If that special is one of the extra features of the Part Deux DVD, then put that motherfucker at the top of my Christmas list.
Let's see whose holiday* wishes came true this week. (*Saturday was Sweetest Day!)

Merriman's Bitch Chokers (70) defeat Charm City Murder (63)
This game was unfit for Sweetest Day. How dare you bastards desecrate this sacred holiday and insult the name of Herbert Birch Kingston with this atrocious performance! There were two players in double figures in this game, one for each team. Charm City had the higher of those two (Larry Fitzgerald's 19 to Adrian Peterson's 18), but that didn't earn him a victory. Since those are the only noteworthy performances, I'll throw out some other stats from this game: Andre's running backs combined for six points. Charm City linebacker Barrett Ruud scored more points (9.5) than all but three players in this game. Only one starting BIFL quarterback (Bardois' Matt Hasselbeck) scored less points than Will's Jake Delhomme. These were the two lowest-scoring teams in the league this week. Souts and Dekker both would have beaten the combined scores of this game. Will's 69.5 is the lowest winning score since Week 5 of last year. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

Cholish Chachfaces (102) defeat the Iron Chef of Pounding Poon (88)
As noted in yesterday's write-ups, Chalski needed 14 points out of the Monday Night trio of Vincent Jackson, Knowshon Moreno, and Nate Kaeding to overtake Dick's lead after the Sunday games. He got 14 from Kaeding alone, and with a solid outing from Jackson (10) and a few extra from Moreno (4) he easily secured the win. The Chaches were led in victory by Ben Roethlisberger (27), who other than Peyton Manning has probably been the most dependable quarterback in fantasy this season. His top receiving option this weekend was Hines Ward, who left 25 points on the Iron Chef's bench, while Chalski started his second option, Santonio Holmes (12). Owen Daniels (19) also had an excellent game for the Chachfaces, who along with Souts broke the gridlock to move to the top of the Eastern Division. A couple of other oustanding teammates were featured on opposite sides of this contest, as the Carolina Panthers resembled their 2008 running game for the first time in 2009. Despite the loss, Dick must be happy to see DeAngelo Williams (31) in good form, and Jonathan Stewart (17) would have been the top-scoring back for the Chachfaces if he had started.
