The Big Sandwich

Well, at least we weren’t picked last for dodgeball.  The Big Sandwich has been anxiously waiting to be chosen to pen the weekly newsletter as neither team owner is a stellar writer.  The fantasy week started for us on Thursday with the following conversation:

BS1: Hey, Ben Tate just got a touchdown.

BS2: Is he on our team?

BS1: Yes and I hope we played him.

Fantasy is more fun when your team actually does well.  

Since The Big Sandwich is rarely mentioned, let’s spend a few minutes on their matchup with the Limp Dixons.  Fortunately for us, Cropcho decided to play Nick Novak, who was on a bye, Antone Smith who score 0.3 points, and Zach Ertz with 2.7 points.  That 3 combined points for 3  starting players, while guys like Jared Cook and Jordan Matthews on the bench combining for 56.2 points not going toward his score.  Maybe he was positioning himself in case there was a tie and he would win the tie breaker based on more bench points.  As hard as it may seem to actually have 3 players score 3 total points, including one player with zero, the lowest scoring, player in this game actually belong to TBS.  Nick Novack actually out scored TBS's defense by 3 points as Carolina D put up -3 yes that a negative sign in front of the 3 not a dash.

Thanks to a text from DJ, we learned that Barrister’s Balls and Wicked of Lately had a "Battle Royale" that came down to the decimals with BB as victor by a mere 1.5 points.  Tough break for WOL who could’ve improved to a not-so-impressive 3-7 with a win.  Had there been a tie WOL would have won the game because they had more total points when all players were taken into account.  Wait a minute, just remember, the team that actually had more bad players won the tie breaker.  And thank goodness we went the decimal system this year so we don’t have to read through 37 emails motioning this and that and trying to understand lawyer speak (as two of the very few non-lawyers in the league, we prefer it simple and not having to rely on Google to make it through an email.)

Stud of the week - Barrister's Balls with 186.2. Way to go Deej. Surely you've been waiting all season for this accolade. 

Jimmy graham jock slap – a tight race this week with multiple players in the 40s but the award goes to Toner’s Boners thanks to Matt Lynch's 4 TDs and 140 yards posting 42.3 points

Willy Lowman – Just beating out Limp Dixons for the lowman of the week is Nolan United posting only 102.7 points.  Not a bad week for everyone if the lowest is still in triple digits.

Bench Bomb - Jordan Mathew's 36 points and Jared Cook 22.4 points share this weeks award cause it's not too often that the top two bench bombs are from the same team.  Thanks Limp for keeping our slim playoff hopes alive one more week.
