PMS had a really strong week this week, scoring more than 100 points. It still lost, though. Why? Well, partly because its opponent had a monster week (we'll get to that later) but also because the owner didn't have an active kicker in his lineup.
He tried to force through a trade with Andy through after games had already started, but even I don't have the power to make that happen. (Shut up, Mark.) The two then tried another trade, but that (shocker) didn't work either.
Why didn't he set his lineup?
Via text:
"Shit - hungover and I haven't set my lineup. And stranded."
Sound familiar?
More, via Facebook chat:
did it ever occur to you that I drink to take away the pain of being in last place?
it was this time last year that I was on the tail end of a killer winning streak
Watching the league this weekend re-invigorated my passion
i'm just sad that it's all going to be over soon
We may have to rethink how the draft works. I don't know if this should be rewarded with the No. 1 pick.
Like Tom Brady's pass to Gronkowski last night as time expired, the Muscular Mathletes are uncatchable. Or nearly so.
The Mathletes maintained a two-game lead over the rest of the league with a 107-93 win over Cant Be That Hard in Week 11. Based on my math (and confirmed by the chief Mathlete), the Mathletes can clinch a championship playoff spot with a win this week over Getting over the hump.
By my quick count, it seems like the only person eliminated from the championship playoffs is PMS (2-9). It's harder for the 4-7 teams, Something and Big Kahuna Burger, but there's definitely a shot to make it into one of the playoff brackets.
Remember, there are only three weeks left in the season.
Tied for second behind the Mathletes are Jeff Fisher's Mullet (woohoo!) and Correctamundo. I had a comfortable win for the first time in a while (thanks, Something!) and Correctamundo won its second straight game.
In a four-way tie for fourth at 6-5 we have: iwishiwouldhaveplayedtuba (I will not acknowledge your new name, troll), The Reservoir Dogs, Can't Be That Hard and Getting over the hump.
Four more teams are tied for eighth at 5-6: Academic Probation, Dolphins of Old, Chicks Dig Scars and Blaupunkt. Chicks Dig Scars has lost six of its last seven games since it last had the Twitter avatar.
@eagreene @RoyaleWCheeseFB Eve, this is why you will lose. Unless Optimus Prime is on your fantasy team! http://t.co/k9Sqzobb7l

Now it's time for this week's awards.
The Reservoir Dogs had the highest point total in Week 11 in a 131-107 win over PerpetualMotionSquad.
Big Kahuna Burger couldn't quite avoid the Sad Trombone Award this week. She scored a league low 49 points in a loss to Blaupunkt, last week's winner of the inaugural Sad Orchestra Award.
And some You Got Lucky action goes to Blaupunkt for scoring the lowest winning point total (85) in that game against BKB. (Please watch this video.)
Now it's time for TWEET(s) OF THE WEEK: The Eff Tom Brady Edition
In case you're wondering, I am wishing personal injury on Tom Brady @RoyaleWCheeseFB #teamblaupunkt

This week's Thursday night game is between the Saints and the Falcons. You know what to do. Set the rest of your lineup by Sunday.
Teams with byes in Week 12: Bills, Bengals, Eagles and Seahawks.
Wishing you sure hands and strong ACLs,
Corey
P.S. I love Steve Smith. "Ice up, son!"
