It wasn't just Week 9 this weekend, but the glorious celebration of Jamie Harris 36th birthday. And what did we see??? Well, the week played out pretty much as projected as all the favorites prevailed, Madge continued in his place at the top (despite Kevin's best attempts at heel knipping), Harris' epic losing streak continued, and a bunch of trades changed the faces of many teams and perhaps even their futures. But the things I saw at Harris' birthday celebration? Well, they were just wrong: It all went down at Cheval - a place most of this league's owner would best remember as 606 King West. I remember having fun there 10 years ago and openly mocking men our age now for hitting on women our age then. Let's just say that some people don't remember that. Things are different there now - bottle service with flares - literally pyrotechnics are attached to each bottle of booze for some reason; classy booth service; everybody is at the club but everybody seems to be texting someone else on their blackberrys; and more meat-heads than ever. Also, the next time anyone runs into Fats at say, a business meeting, ask him to roll up his sleeve and show you his tasteful, tribal full-arm tattoo. Should spice up the boardroom a bit.
Average score rose slightly to 94.6 pts from last week's 90.35 pts, as nobody put in a monster performance and nobody really crapped the bed. This week even felt average.
The average margin of victory grew to 29.7 pts from last week's 22.3 pts as just the Madge/Kevin match was anywhere near close. This marks the 3rd week in a row when Madge's opponent couldn't take advantage of his lower scores. And it re-affirms my fear that his season is charmed, but if the weakness continues he may just get clipped yet.
Performer of The Week:
Madge's 121.4 pts takes the top spot this week. Honourable mentions to Hauser (118.4) and Devo (116.7).
Oh my. This one was extremely close and may changed between now and Saturday if history has taught us anything. Jeff Alls, 61.6 pts. It should have been me, but a late H. Ward TD in the Monday night game put me just ahead at 62.1 pt. Congratulation Jeff, you deserve it.
8-1 Club:
Ugh. Madge. Again.
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
No award this week as no bench player could have swayed the outcome. Perhaps people are starting to really get it. Naw, just lucky is more like it.
State of the League:
No State of the League this week - just read last week's and add wins to Madge and Devo and losses to Kevin and Harris.
