HTPB 20.5

 


Week 5 caused the standings to bunch up closely.  13 of the 14 teams are either 3-2 or 2-3.  


All year, there has been talk around the league as it being the year for someone who has not drafted a championship team in 20 years.  This week a team that has not drafted a championship team in 20 years, put up a whopping 180 points to defeat Big Cat. 48 points from Herbert along with 4 20 point scorers. (I rounded up Chase's 19.95, so go to hell, Steve) was too much for Big Cat to overcome.



Dollars got into the Halloween spirit as his team rose from the dead to feast on Dom's brains.  Being such a light snack, Dollars also nibbled on Montgomery's knee, Dalvin Cook's ankle, and Ju-Ju's shoulder. The next few weeks of the season will be pivotal for these two squads to see if Dollars is really back to life or it was that thing where corpses sit up due to muscles tightening from dehydration before the days of embalming, and the Italian Stallions look to piece to together a team headed into a match up against Hardcore Cabinet, whom he has not beaten in 10 years.  


Speaking of Hardcore Cabinet they could really use the fountain of youth that is a match up against the Italian Stallions, after dropping their third straight to Rush'n Missiles.  RM dropped the up and down act and stayed up this week.  A good sign for RM was their well rounded attack to pull out the win.  As this may finally be the year that Rush'n Missiles makes the playoffs for the first time ever, since he has never ever made the playoffs before.  Not even once.  I'm bitter.  



Bricklayers hopes to get his bipolar disorder under control this week, as he proclaimed that his team was turning it around, voted against his team to win, made a swindler trade of that took the sole of The Shoes, proceeded to denounce his team, offer his best players up for a fire sale, take a generational tight end performance as sign that his team is good and call his shot on a Toyota for next week.  Also he lost, again. Also he wasn't even in the top 7 in scoring in the league.  Maybe next time you pay for airplane wi-fi it should be to seek a virtual meeting with a mental health professional.  Blue Gatorade continues to quietly move forward on his sneakily successful season.  


Hey Eh Bid Dude, do you want the good news or the bad news.  Since you are always such an optimist, I will give you the good news first.  You won.  The bad news you lost Wilson and Barkley for the foreseeable future and you play Bricklayers, who despite only being in the top half of the league in scoring just one week, has requested that you grab your ankles.  The Collegians had a rough week, as not a single player crossed the 20 point plateau, with a leading scorer of 16 from Stafford. 


Josh Allen and Zeke leads Ogre's Death Squad to big win over Los Zapatistas.  Los Zapatistas has been falling quickly down the standings and got swindled by a swindler.  He has been living vicariously through his butt buddies.  I am worried about you Sergio.  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/is-living-vicariously-through-others-dangerous/

In short, living vicariously refers to living life through someone else's experiences rather than being a part of the events yourself. It requires immersing yourself in someone else's world and emotionally or mentally making their achievements and setbacks your own. It allows you to experience rewards without having to risk your own failures. You can tap into the feeling of achievement without putting in the work that may or may not pay off. It lets you explore personas and lifestyles you cannot have in real life and allows you to navigate the world through a different perspective without committing to any big changes. Living vicariously lets you have countless new experiences without stepping outside the prescribed boundaries around you.


We are here for you buddy.



In the craziest match up of the week, SMBR leapt into solo possession of first place after storming back against Tinker Stinkers.  68 points in prime time from the Bills and Lamar lead the come back, as Tinker Stinkers let this one slip between his tiny fingers something that JJ would have never let happen, rest assured.  

Power Rankings

1. SMBR 46-19
2. BG 44-21
3. BNE 41-24
-----------------
4. TC 37-28
5. HC 35-30
6. CB 34-31
-------------------
7. TS/EBD 31-34
----------------
9. BL 29-36
10. IS/BCC/ODS 28-37
13. LZ 25-40
-------------------
14. $$ 18-47

There were no bad beats this week.

The luckiest team has been BCC which shows that maybe it has been the Year of the Cat all along.
The unluckiest teams have HC and EBD.

Pick em Results
ODS/BG/HC went 5-2
Tc went 2-5 but that still better than EBD 0-7 because of fear and pettiness. 

Looking ahead to next week:

Game of the Week #1 SMBR vs #4 TC
ODS vs BG
BNE vs $$$
BCC vs TS
HC vs IS
LZ vs RM
The Toilet Bowl Preview of the Week
#9 EBD vs #10 BL (Which honestly isn't that bad but it was the lowest combined seeding, tied with HC vs IS but HC is a higher overall seed than either of these two teams, so that's why I chose it. If you have a problem with the tiebreakers, you fucking type this out, do math, and be hilarious. Any hands? Didn't think so.)

Good Luck to everyone next week.
