I was in New Orleans, so you'll understand why I didn't prioritize football watching. But apparently some people do on vacation. While walking around the French Quarter on Sunday, I saw several people wearing NFL jerseys while obviously on vacation, including two wearing Chargers jerseys.
Listen: I love football and I love to watch football, but I'm not going to wear a jersey and find a bar to watch an early regular season game while on vacation in New Orleans. There are better things to do. Especially if the team you're watching is the Chargers.
I did see that the Panthers tied for the first time in franchise history. That happened the same season that the Royale with Cheese league had its first tie. Is this the sports gods punishing me for starting to pay more attention to soccer?
Let's jump right in here with TWEET OF THE WEEK!

Pocket tweets are the best, especially when they come from famous reporters with more than three million followers.But the real TWEET OF THE WEEK:
@RoyaleWCheeseFB The one week I stray from Cam for Eli, Cam puts 34 on the board and Eli has 6. 6!?!? I thought gingers had good luck?

So Cammy-Cam showed up, huh? I heard he ran some, so that's good. There were lots of points; also good. But I sure wish a team I cheered for would play defense. That would be super.I don't really know why The Reservoir Dogs are complaining, though. They beat Go big or go home, which scored 48 points and had a player and its defense end up with negative points. That is worthy of a "proper" Sad Trombone award.
The week's top scorer was Cant Be That Hard, which reeled of a fourth consecutive victory to move into a tie for first place with Big Poppa.
Cant Be That Hard beat PerpetualMotionSquad 122-77, but had Victor Cruz go in the IR.
@RoyaleWCheeseFB Based on the past two years, being a WR on my fantasy team during the middle of the season might end your career.
I think PMS, which earned the avatar earlier this season, is getting a little desperate after losing two straight games. The owner offered me a trade via text this morning that was so ridiculous I could only respond "hahahahaha." Also, PMS made eight roster moves earlier this week. Eight.
Big Poppa wins the "All About that Bass" Award for ...? I don't know, man. Oh! He BEAT OFF CONSTANTLY this week 116-71. That's something!
Look, I didn't watch any football and just wanted to put this video on the blog.
If y'all give me better ideas during the week, you won't have to deal with this stuff. My default is pop music. When I run out of ideas, I use pop music with no apparent meaning.
Other scores:
- Academic Probation is on a two-game win streak after beating Turn Down For Watt 114-93. The Detroit Lions defense scored 21 points last week, which is just five less than the Seahawks D has scored all season. Sigh.
- Jeff Fisher's Mullet beat the eerily quiet Big Kahuna Burger 98-90. Sixty of the Mullets' points came on Thursday night, making up for some pretty bad roster decisions.
- The Muscular Mathletes are back in the win column after beating Blaupunkt 104-85. They are both tied with Something at 2-4, one game ahead of Go big at 1-5.
- Dolphins of Old beat Something 82-72 this week. Dolphins has now won three straight after starting the season 0-3.
So I know I screwed up this part last week. I didn't realize until I watched the Thursday game kickoff while eating unlimited enchiladas at a Mexican restaurant. I'm going to try to do better this time.
This week's Thursday night game is between the Jets and Patriots. Teams on bye in Week 7: Eagles and Buccaneers.
Wishing you sure hands and no ties,
Corey
