BIFL - Week 10 Review C

The Sequel approaches. Til then, here's the last of the Week 10 results.

I'm Here for the Gangbang (97) defeats Charm City Murder (87)
These are two teams that have been scratching and scraping all season to find something that fits at running back. Both have endured big-time disappointments from their presumed top options (Brandon Jacobs for Andre and Steve Slaton for Chuck) and have been casting about ever since. Chuck's actual got a good one, Frank Gore (20), but even he's a little tainted due to his time missed for injury. And since neither of these teams, in my estimation, is making the playoffs, I'm more interested in the fill-ins. Chuck's this week was Justin Fargas (FARGAS!), who ran for 41 yards but salvaged a decent fantasy day with a touchdown. Along with Roy Williams' 16 and Steve Breaston's 13, that was enough to bring home a victory for the Gangbang. But as I said, I'm not all that interested. What I am interested in is this collection of waiver wire superstars that Andre has put together. In my other leagues, we operate with a free agent auction budget, where a team like Charm City would be impossible. Why? Because Shonn Greene, Ryan Moats, and Mike Bell were all the type of guys who people vastly overpaid for after a productive week or two, only to watch them go back to suckitude as soon as they'd been acquired. Andre chose Shonn Greene (2) to start this week, who predictably did just about nothing. But his other starter was a "sleeper" who managed to explode this week: Beanie Wells (23). This was Beanie's second straight game of 70+ yards, and this time he managed to add a few touchdowns to that total. With Andre's record at 3-7 and his season coming to a close soon, the emergence of Beanie as a potential keeper could be the best thing happening for him in the next few weeks, whether he wins of loses (as he did here in Week 10).

Chip Lohmiller (112) defeats FUBAR (85)
As you should all know by now, in the wake of our de-chartering, 129 Chancellor Street was sold a few years ago and what had been House Corps turned into a non-profit foundation charged with stewarding the funds gained from the sale. Dekker is the head of this foundation, and he has ear-marked the money to serve as scholarship money down the road for Delt offspring. It's all fantastic, and Dekker has taken the work on himself totally selflessly and we should all remember to thank him for it, especially when I rig the essay contest to pay for my kids' college educations. But Ben really dropped the ball this week, and this is why. Where the fuck were you, Dekk? I know there's at least 600k in the Beta Iota coffers, and we could have had a fucking STADIUM! Do you know what kind of party we could throw if we owned an entire god damn stadium? Remember all the rape and murder that happened in the SuperDome after Katrina? We could have blown that out of the water! (No pun intended) I personally would have hosted a party every two years, on the same weekend as Karnea, for all the DTDs nationwide who have been de-chartered. We would call it Kranea, and Chuck would preside. But now that dream has died, and it's all your fault, Dekker. What could you possibly have been doing instead? Surely it wasn't focusing your energy on beating Spencer, since that is totally unnecessary. After all, FUBAR had their highest score since Week 6, and they still out-scored only two other teams. Their lead scorer was TJ Houshmandzadeh (18), for god's sake. Meanwhile, with a team like yours, with Maurice Jones-Drew (22), Ray Rice (15), and Reggie Wayne (26), you could probably start some random-ass quarterback and still win. What's that? You started Alex Smith (2)? Well then there's my point exactly. We could have had the Silverdome, and instead all we got was another lousy Chip Lohmiller victory. Fuck.
