LUCKY BREAK🍀

NOT SO LUCKY...😡
the griddy comittee had a 8-3 all-play record, but still ended up taking the L

Take a bow, Awesome Team, great QBs. You led the league this week with a 97.4% accuracy score!
It’s Halloween today, which means one thing: get your Solo cups and coolers, we’re going Trick-or-Treating, folks! How you feel about Halloween this year largely depends on how your team performed this weekend. Were you treated to a precious win, or tricked into believing that your team had a chance, only to suffer a humiliating loss? Will you be able to enjoy the purity of your local youth dressed up in their favorite costume? Or will you be the middle aged ghoul complaining about inflation in the candy market, undoubtedly missing the reason for the season while you complain that “these dang kids are making me miss out on my Dollaritas”?
The answer to this rests almost entirely on whether you secured a W this week, which explains why the country is divided down the middle on whether they enjoy the purest of holidays or whether they’re “not really a big Halloween person, you know?” Lighten up, Francis. Enjoy tonight, and enjoy this week’s recap.
Editor's note: I told my writer to limit the ghoul references. As you will see, it did not go well. He doesn't respect me. And the man likes ghouls.
For those of you have read the book (I haven’t), it seems that before creating his monster, Victor Frankenstein was actually a very well respected scientist. Yes, I was surprised to learn from Wikipedia that the monster’s name is technically Frankenstein’s Monster, and not just Frankenstein. Anyway, like Vic Frankenstein, Awesome Team, great QBs has, for this week at least, been successful in their lineup experiment, racking up an impressive 97% of their team’s possible points to win this week’s Best Manager award. However, if you’ve read the book (again, we haven’t), you’d know that it only takes one bad experiment to create a terrifying team of ghastly creatures, destined to join the ranks of Time Ticklers at the bottom of the league’s management rankings.
Halloween is the scariest of all Holidays (outside of being a Brit on the Fourth of July), and some people really go all out. Getting decorations ready weeks in advance, carving jack-o-lanterns, or just generally going into goblin mode all October. Time Ticklers continued in this tradition by making some truly terrifying roster decisions this week. We were horrified, quite frankly, to see that anyone would decide to score only 75% of their possible points, but Time Ticklers did, on their way to the award for this week’s Worst Manager.
As you read this, you are likely preparing yourself for the yearly ritual of asking all the trick-or-treating tots about their costumes (“Oh what do we have here? Are you a princess? And is that Spiderman in the back there? And oh wow, you sure are a scary ghost!”). While doing so, it may be useful to ask yourself the same questions. Who are you dressed up as this year? Is your 6-2 league record simply a mask, hiding the truly awful face of a 3-5 ghoul.
Or have you dressed up as hideous creature, 1-7 painted in blood on your cheeks, hiding the truly lovely (or at least mediocre) vision of a 4-4 team that’s a little down on its luck. The league power rankings can help you figure out who is the true class of the league, and who is, in fact, a ghoul.
Week 8 Stud 💪 CeeDee Lamb WR - Club Party Team Squad +24 pts vs median WR
35 points: In the spirit of the season, CeeDee Lamb put down an absolute Monster Mash of a performance this week. It was enough to spook The Jellyfish Collector into a loss against Club Party Team Squad and their gang of ghouls.
Week 8 Dud 👎 Ka'imi Fairbairn K - Awesome Team, great QBs -8.4 pts vs median K
1 points: While CeeDee Lamb was putting on a show, Ka'imi Fairbairn zombie-walked his way to LVP horrors for this week. However, the proverbial witches of Awesome Team, great QBs came by and put Ka'imi Fairbairn on their broom and flew him to a win over Time Ticklers.
