Tuesday, November 26th. The herd is thinning before the holiday. Even despite the trade deadline passing. Hidden in the chaos is the element, waiting to strike like snakes. And I’m here too. Watching. 5 Years of nights not being in this league has turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It’s a big league. I can’t beat everyone at once. But they don’t know what I’m capable of. We have a signal now for when I’m coming. It’s called the weekly round up. When that post hits the blog, it’s not just a call – it’s a warning. To them. Fear is a tool. They think I’m hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows. I wish I could say I’m making a difference, but I don’t know. Law suits, collusion, Zack’s roster being raided – 5 years later, they’re all up. And now this. This league is eating itself. Maybe it can’t be saved, but I have to try. Push myself. These nights all roll together in a rush, behind Zach Robinson. Sometimes in the morning I have to force myself to remember everything that happened.
Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds have healed. But if we survive them, they can transform us. They can give us the power to endure, and the strength to fight. Despite being pummeled by a pair of dominatrix, Luke has been on a roll since that night in Vegas. Firmly in the 4th seed and on Daves heels. Luke also boasts the highest PF in the league and there’s no signs of slowing down. Will his grief over the ailing Dobbins be his downfall? We can all only hope so as this nocturnal animal, runaway train is riding this momentum right into the playoffs.
Isn’t that just terrible? Them raining on your parade like that? What is it they say? One day you’re on top, the next you’re a clown. Well, let me tell you, there are worse things to be. Losers of 2 straight and falling from the 3rd seed to the last playoff spot and the hardest SOS remaining, can Boss salvage his battle tested season, or will he succumb to justice, to vengeance? Deebo is a shell of his former self. Sam Darnold is a devout racist and hates Justin Jefferson. The floundering Texans can’t get Joe Mixon going. A miracle 86 yard TD salvaged Terry McLaurins week. Boxes are stacked against Tyrone “Hit his girlfriend” Tracy. Someone, somewhere, is enjoying a nice cup of joe at Latte Larrys.
Riddle me this – the less of them you have, the more one is worth. And this person could certainly use some friendly help to put Hurts Donuts out of business… For good. Just 2 games left, and his PF much lower than Boss’, Gault needs to win out and needs some help from Dave and myself to leap frog Boss. Gault is getting healthy again with the return of Mike Evans in the Bucs high flying offense. With the Bucs easy SOS remaining, Evans could give Gault the boost he needs to make a last minute run. Gault has a very winnable 2 games remaining vs Moxie and the Monstro Elisasu that is the Gooners. Things can get VERY interesting 7 days from today.
You know, he was there that day. The day the great Zach Robinson announced that he was going to throw the ball to a terminal make a wish kid vs to a 6’3 255lb unicorn that was lined up against a 3’11 nickel back. Well, a few weeks later he’s all but clinched a playoff birth and everybody has kinda over looked him. All they could talk about was poor Zack. Zack, the guy who’s roster was prostituted. Being a multi-league champion doesn’t make you worthy of sympathy. Zack met justice. He met vengeance. You know what success is? It’s losing 3 straight games and 4 of 5, but withstanding the test of time. You wake up screaming with Nico Collins still on IR. Now Dave is sitting pretty in the 3 seed flying under everyones radar. If the E stands for eagle, then he’ll soar throughout the playoffs, but if it stands for ebony, then he’ll get a harsh reminder in the first round what race God favors in this world and why.
Well, that’s the thing about family. It’s your strength. It drives you. But fuck if it don’t make ya weak, too. And this team can’t have that no more. Win 3 straight, win 3 straight again, now winners of 4 straight, this team has been the model of consistency all year. 2nd in PF, 1st in the power rankings in every week but 1. Bryon has shown us all that with a little elbow grease and some grunt work, you too can reach the top. However, Bryon made it very clear this morning that there’s unfinished business to tend to. He welcomed another team atop the mountain but only to throw in a slight jab at the end. Don’t be mistaken, I can read between the lines. We all can. It got too friendly at the top of Everest, and Bryon tried to snap my neck like I’m Victor. Very clear that Bryon’s now keeping all of us at arms length, but what he doesn’t know is that if he survives Luke in the 2nd round, there’s a person by the name of vengeance waiting around the corner to finish what Bryon started.
