HTPB 21.9

 




Two teams with high point totals, few wins, and thumb dicks, met in a battle of the highest scoring teams of the week.  Blue Gatorade was able to best the Express riding the performances of two guys that weren't smelling the lineup at the beginning of the season. Blue Gatorade pulls off the sweep and avenges his father's high scoring defeat to the BNE just one week prior.  Both squads hope to get hot in the final month and get in the playoffs on the point tie breaker as both teams try to get their first championship since Max's has been alive



Eh Bid Dude traded away Mahomes for the oldest player in the league.  According to Dom, he won the first week of the trade.  I am just going to trust Dom's math.  He has come a long way since I had to divide by three for him in Risk.  Speaking of Risk, Roy's cheating ass, forgive don't forget.  Roy "tried" to not play a tight end, but blamed it on the start active players function.  EBD must not have faith that they will defeat Bricklayers later in the season, and doesn't want those extra points for the tiebreaker for the bye.  Ogre's Death Squad continues to score over 100 points and lose.  With Allen's possible elbow injury, ODS could be using their elbow to polish up a toilet trophy. 

(Idea: Matt Ferrell Photo Swap: Nick Webb)

After not breaking the 100 points barrier all season, The Collegians have done it two weeks in a row and is somehow above .500 (BG, ODS, BNE)  The Collegians rode Joe Mixon's 52 points but if you think about it, 127 total points when one guy gets 52 is kind of shitty. SMBR has come back to the pack in wins and his point total.  Is this a bump in the road the beginning of the end? The Collegians continue to try to defy the odds and repeat.  Stay tuned.

(Twitter felt this Bengal looked like Adam Cole and I agree)

The Bay-Bay's continue to put up about as much of a fight as an actual baby. The 66.46 margin of victory was the biggest of the season so far. Dan struggles with the differences between a FACT and OPINION.  So let's help him.  FACT: Bay Bay's has only broken 100 points twice this season.  It is provable and documentable.  OPINION: Dan smells badly.  Can't be proven and someone may like the unique musk of a tire fire and Old Spice. Don't look now but guess who isn't in last place, just 12th place.  It's the Italian Stallions.  The quest to avoid toiletries continues. Hey $$ can you double check on that toilet trophy how many times Dom is on there, because I believe it is already on their the most. (See people who think this is easy.  I brought back Dollars being shitty last year to include in my slam on Dom. Next level shit)  Italian Stallions has moved ahead of the Rush'n Missiles in the RACE TO NOT BE IN LAST BY FAMILY THANKSGIVING.  Stay tuned! 



Bricklayers continued their drive to the perfect season and Dollars had Saqoun and a few other bad players on a bye and took an L. But have no fear Dollars, due to the unbelievable luck for you and The Collegians this season has resulted in your playoff predictions being 5/7 at this point. That's a real good percentage. But it ain't Bricklayer winning percentage which is 100%.  Bricklayers only concern at this point is if the Eagles hit some bad weather in the playoffs and stifle the Hurts/Brown connection.  Or maybe if this guy could even get a player with a stoved finger at this point.  I can't recall a team being so healthy.  The injury fairy is coming for him but when.  We all know Brickwood usually appreciates fairies coming, so I'm sure he can't wait for the injury fairy to come all over his squad.  


In this battle of mangy wolves, Jeremy's Brother managed to suck less than Rush'n Missiles which admittedly is not difficult.  But had MENSA member Cory not signed Carolina's D to play the defending AFC champions, and stuck with the Jets, he would have won.  Aaron Rodgers continues to avoid the end zone like it's an actual doctor.   So you would assume with these low scores that these two must have been decimated by the biggest bye week of the season.  Well you know what they say about assuming...  But nope.  These two suck.  But what do I know. Maybe Courtland Sutton would have made all the difference in the world.  The worst team power rankings wise that JB plays the rest of the way is The Shoes, so the rest of the way is going to real difficult.  Is the playoff streak in jeopardy?  But that means more time to send gifs with unintentional meats in them.


The Shoes put up the lowest point total of the season.  A season that he was attempted to talk shit to me at every turn and has been put in his place yet again. Way to only have 1 player break double digits.  Good job losing to a team who despite breaking 100 points with a well rounded team effort, was lead in points by 16 by Taylor fucking Heinicke.  I'm 3/4 of the way to a Wolves sweep.  Maybe you guys can show up late together at the counseling appointment when you try to figure out how to beat me.  To give you where, I'm at in my completionism missions.  Up 2% to 78% in poster completion, Spider-Man up 5% to 14% completion, hell I even completed a PS3 game, but most importantly I am up to 100% on the 2022 revenge tour and 37.9% complete on putting cigarette butts in your yard. Feel free to name your team, Hardcore Cabinet Presents The Shoes, because I own you this season.  I fantasy hate you.

HTPB 21.8

Former league member and 2022 draft helper, Bart's father is in ICU currently and his family could use some prayers from the HTPB family. Once a member, always a member.  Bloodfarts, we got you. 


Some teams were tricked while for others it was a treat.  Let's take a look with this spooooooky recap.



Hardcore Cabinet was looking good until Big Nasty Express' Christian McCaffery went and popped Hardcore in the mouth and popped it in his butt. For the second consecutive week, HC choice in below average QB cost them a victory to drop them to 4-4.  Despite 8 touchdowns, BNE was able to overcome with 9 of their own.  Hardcore Cabinet was lost to Christian McCaffery twice this season already.  BNE defensive coordinator record pulls to 3-4-1 and after a slow start the defense has stepped up.  I hope Nick chokes on his 2 Samoan Tala.





Rush'n Missiles handed a loss and maybe the Toilet Trophy to his brother in law, Italian Stallions this week.  While Cory feasted on candy that he stole from children so he could finally feel dominant in any moment of his life, Travis Etienne feasted on tea and crumpets in London.  Might as well call the Italian Stallions the Italian Giselles because they are sick of Tom Brady's bullshit.  This will be brought up at Thanksgiving and hopefully the family is thankful that Kevin even talks to them despite the hot garbage that these two HTPB franchises are most years.    


The double decker attack of Hurts and Brown smashed Ogre's Death Squad, no tight end needed.  Bricklayers remains undefeated and going like a buzz saw through the league.  Ogre's Death Squad continues to put up tons of points for hard luck losses.  A vintage Derrick Henry performance made it close, but the Ogre takes another loss.  ODS was not able to protect his undefeated season nor his playoff chances for the 2022 one.  

Here in week 8, more than halfway through the fantasy season, The Collegians have broken the 100 point barrier for the first time this season to somehow pull to 4-4 and IS CURRENTLY A PLAYOFF TEAM!!!! I would say that the Collegians have brought their stink to their opponent every week but Blue Gatorade has only two wins and JTT has been bringing him down. It would be great for BG to have to take the Toilet Trophy to his dorm room next year, where zero girls will ever see it so don't worry. 



Somehow Bay-Bay's keeps winning and Jeremy's Brother keeps losing. Although Jason was able to defend the honor of all Browns fans at the end of the game, footage shown here of Jason doing god's work.  (lower case god because I'm sure upper case God was not a fan of that, Jason)  Four straight losses have JB in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in his HTPB career.  Bay-Bay's continues to be super lucky in his matchups and is somehow one spot out of the playoffs despite having the lowest point total in the league. 


With bye weeks wreaking havoc on Eh Bid Dude, his undefeated season was amputated like one of his toes.  Dollars took advantage to move to 5-3 despite being 10th in the league in points. The league has been focused on the pixie dust being sprinkled over the dumpster fires of TC and BB but lets not forget that Dollars has been snorting some of that shit too.  With injuries to Zeke and Chase, EBD needs his studs to stay healthy but his depth has been weakened a bit.  The great start should allow him to ride out a few possibly bumpy weeks. 


The Zapatistas were the latest victim of the silent assassin.  I don't think Kevin even reads these blogs.  Kevin if you are reading this did you order those Sonic comics for Quinn for Christmas?  I know you have all people would never want to damage the magic of Christmas for a little girl.  Los Zapatistas good run has been stopped by the Breece Hall season ending injury.  Los Zapatistas managed to bring home a win from the Browns games without admitting to a crime in the thread and I for one will continue to have Sergio bring home NFL wins and HTPB losses.  Every since Josh left the league, I have been without someone to fantasy hate.  It feels so good to have the shoes filling those....well....shoes.   

    


Skynet has some interesting data this week.  It still has the top three in the league as playoff locks.  Here's everyone else's playoff chances.  HC 93% $ 92% LZ 72% ODS 51% JB 45% BNE 27% BG 12% BB 9% TC 5% IS 4% RM 2%.

Toilet odds (A couple of other teams have less than 3% chance)  BG 10% BB 13% TC 15% IS 7% RM 30%
