American waist bands weren't the only things blown out on Thursday as the Titans, Cowboys, and Eagles feasted on their festive opponents.
I think it is fair to say that both Kevin and Harris are thankful for having RBs that played against the Detroit Lions. Both Johnson (25 pts) and White (22 pts) had 100+ yards and 2 TDs. Add in the Tennessee Defense and Gage for Kev, and he was already within a point of his woeful total from last week. Remember last week? When he was Senorita of the Week? Remember? Yeah, that was fun.
I'm thankful for Tony Romo and his 33 points. I also like to give thanks when he passes to Owens for a TD. Which happened on Thursday. Good times.
I don't think Devo is very thankful for leaving Witten on the bench. At least not as thankful as Pat is for a kicker like Folk who throws up double digits. But then again, maybe Pat is less thankful than Tim, who had Bironas kick for 17 points.
The night game brought more reasons to be thankful for Harris and Kevin as Westbrook (37 pts) and McNabb (34 pts) personally fisted Mike D's Cards. And in fisting the Cards, there was a little bit of fist collateral damage - Ashby's Boldin couldn't catch a cold (3 pts), Warner looked bad and took a few hits and killed his streak of 300 + yard passing games (but managed almost 20 pts), and Fitzgerald still put up good numbers for Pat (18.5 pts). Impossible to calculate, however, was the emotional damaged inflicted upon Mike D. I suggest you all call him and ask him to talk about it.
Average scoring checked in at a reserved 96.93 points this week.
Performer of The Week:
With the second highest score of the year (156.93 vs. Pat's 156.70 last week) and I think, ever, Kevin has bounced back into contention and thrown off the shackles of last week's Senorita performance. Kev's players had big weeks with McNabb, Cutler, and Johnson all contributing nicely.
Senorita Of The Week:
Poetic Seals. 55.96 Points. Not a terrible week, but bottom of the barrel none the less. There are 10 Free Agent Defenses that have more points than Seattle. Think about it.
1300 Point Club:

Senorita Of The Week:
I came into the 1300 Club and all I saw was Pat dancing in the middle of the room to his favorite song:
You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub
Look mami I got the X if you into taking drugs
I'm into having sex, I ain't into making love
So come give me a hug if you into to getting rubbed
But you know, that wasn't the weirdest part, as the house lights came up, Pat was dancing naked and generating a strange slapping sound - but not with his hands.
Kevin has joined us in the 1300 Point Club, and given Pat's behaviour, I think I'm glad to have someone else around.
Update on The Ms. Midge Experiment:
To make up for last week's blank in this section, I have a GREAT Mike D. story:
Our own NFL superfan, Mike, went to Detroit to see the game. A total slaughter as the Titans blew out the Lions by a score of 47 to 10. I was at home watching the game (where else would I be on a Thursday afternoon? Work???), and my Blackberry went off. It was Mike D with a live report of how bad the Lions are in person. He also lamented a bit about his fantasy team, but we're all used to that story. Then, out of nowhere, he told me how he got to the game. He and his friends took the "Booty Bus". Appearantly it is decked out like a strip joint and comes with 5, umm, entertainment professionals. I agreed with Mike's description of "F!cking brilliant". I then got to thinking and asked what the girls do while the guys are in watching the game. Rest up for the trip home? Blow by the bowl full? Shopping? Mike's response, and I quote:
"Not sure, all I do know is that I had a lap dance before 11 this morning!"
State of the League:
This week's team performances saw Lance stumble (63 Points), Ashby cough (94 Pts.), a resurgent Kevin, a dead cat bounce (Harris), mediocrity (Mackesy, Alls) and a solid continuation (Pat, myself). We're at the 3/4 point in the season and with 4 games to play, and 137 points separate first from 8th. Right now it looks like there is three battles worth discussing:
Top 3 - Pat, myself, Kevin. If Tim returns to his recent form he might have a shot, but right now he's on the outside looking in. This will get personal and may involve kidnapping. I have taken extra security measures and put child-proof caps on all my medication bottles.
In the shadow of the podium - Tim, Lance, and since it is Christmas, Devo. This could get ugly. Especially when the turn on each other which should be any week now.
The Battle to finish in the Top Half - Devo (let's face it), Harris, and Alls. Perhaps Devo would like to explain why he is hanging around such unsavory characters?
And to the rest of you - You know what you've done. Go and consider the shame you have brought upon your families. It isn't all that difficult, and stop blaming auto-draft. It isn't why you suck.
4 Weeks left. December weather, playoff battles, tough schedules, and the spectre of having players benched to rest them for the playoffs.

The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
Officially to Devo for not playing Witten and his 17.50 points. But unofficially to me for benching Manning and his 17.43 points. But the real question is why would I bench the Superbowl MVP? You can't out-think those who ain't thinking.Update on The Ms. Midge Experiment:
AP - 19 points.
LT - 12.6 points.
Midge - 9th place and in a sort of no man's land from 8th and above 10th. Maybe your management philosophy would prove correct if the season was 43 weeks long. Maybe.
