[League Update] Week 4: Premature celebration

Let's just get this out of the way first: My team was a dadgum dumpster fire last week.

OK, fine, it was a ... smoking landfill? Whatever. It was awful. I don't think I've ever fielded a team that bad. Thirty-six points. Two players scored zero points and one scored a half a point. I don't even understand.

Here's the worst part -- This is one of the first weeks where I spent a significant amount of time on my lineup. As I've told you, things have been busy recently, so most weeks I've just set up a healthy lineup and ignored it. Last week, I added and dropped and really thought things through. Clearly that's a bad strategy.

The lucky team that got to play me was Free Crab Legs, which won 81-36.
Smart ass.

I have no idea if that's the lowest full-roster point total in league history, but it sure does feel like it. Jeez. At least Tom CHEATER CHEATER CHEAT Brady is back this week.

Continuing with the fantasy-football-is-mean theme, The Reservoir Dogs were hardcore gloating about a close win ... until Tuesday. Stat corrections can be the worst.




Womp. Still 0-4.

Dogs actually ended up losing to the Muscular Mathletes 84-82. What happened? The Mathletes got an extra two points because Latavius Murray (OAK) had a fumble taken off of his stat line. It's a cruel game.

The highest point total this week came from Dolphins of Old with 108 in a win over SugaLumps, which would have been this week's Sad Trombone with 55 points if I hadn't crapped the bed so badly.

The Sad Trombone ... yeah, we already know. Me.



Other scores:

- Blaupunkt 72, WMWWMJJ 70. Blaupunkt had its best possible lineup in, pulling out the close win. The bench combined for a grand total of .2 points.
- Taking it one game at a time 89, Big Kahuna Burger 65. Your defense scoring negative points is totally fine when your running back, Devonta Freeman (ATL), goes ham with 32 points.
- Academic Probation 96, Cant Be That Hard 79. Academic Probation is confident at 4-0 right now, y'all. He's not messing around. Can he go 13-0? No pressure or anything.


- Off Constantly 81, PMS 69. At least when I have a player score 0 points, he's active and just useless. PMS had a player on a bye in its lineup. It probably wouldn't have made a difference, but still.

No random early London game this week, so it's your normal 1 p.m. deadline. Teams with a bye: Panthers (sad face), Dolphins, Vikings and Jets.

Wishing you sure hands and strong ACLs (and more than 30 points).
