Week 5 Picks. Plus a honeymoon story

“Hey where’s that wifi area again?”

“Why do you need wifi, we are on our honeymoon?”

“I just need to check something”

At this point, the Monday Night game had ended, so I knew that the results were final, and I couldn’t live with the idea of not being able to see my score until the end of the cruise. So, I left my wife of two days, and set off for the wifi area. After a couple laps around the ship and shuffling through the drunk college kids (it was a carnival cruise). I found an area that looked like a elementary school computer lab (once again it was a carnival cruise). I sat perched next to a Dell Gateway desktop computer, when I clicked the Internet Explorer tad a screen popped up $20 per hour of internet time, please enter your credit card.

What the hell? $20?! Is there another option, like a “just need to check something real quick?” I thought about slipping the dirty old guy beside me $5 to give me 5 minutes on the webs… but left with no options, I pulled out my credit card and paid $20 to check my fantasy score…

Want to know the worst part?

I lost…

Our humble league will see another member take the leap and join with someone in holy matrimony and for that, I am proud. Good for you Derek, I wish you a lifetime of happiness. But I want to remind you, as you start this journey of losing all since of yourself and questioning every decision you have ever made (jk love the married life… I’ll do the dishes when I get home I swear Hanna) remember who truly loves you unconditionally. Fantasy Football.

TO THE PICKS!

Mason vs Derek

Well, this feels weird to say but I am not sure what the hell Mason is doing with his team. I am confused and happy all at the same time. In the 3 weeks he has traded away, Julio Jones, James Connor, Aaron Jones and David Johnson. What does he have to show for it? Marlon Mack? Dj Chark? Stefon Diggs? Idk man… I.d.k. Derek is pretty busy, but remember that one time he went off week 1 but I said his team is in trouble, then he lost 3 weeks straight. *Pats self on the back*

Mason ruins Derek’s Honeymoon with a W.

Mason wins

Tim vs Jarro

Remember when Lamar Jackson was a thing. Crazy times. Good news for Father Tim, he gets Melvin Gordon back… so that means… something… probably… Jarro’s team is still looking solid, kinda sad you couldn’t sell Freeman this week, dude doesn’t have many more decent games left. Plus, what the hell is wrong with Watson? He touch the space jam ball? Or is his OLine that bad… The answer is his Oline is that bad. You know what’s not the bad? Jarro.

Jarro wins.

Ben vs Hanna

Ben, I was jealous of those Eagles videos from last weekend. I bet that was dope. Your fantasy team still isn’t good… that’s about all I got. Hanna’s team survived a terrible week from Dallas, which has to give you hope. Plus, 4-0 on the year. Color me impressed.

Hanna Wins

Caleb vs Jake

Hey Jake got a win last week, good for you big guy. I believe in the team still, lots of good players, plus Tyreek Hill is finally practicing again… so assuming he doesn’t beat another Woman or Child you’re good! Speaking of good, Caleb’s team in not and Golden Tate is not the answer. I am not saying this just because I blew your phone up you phone all week, but at some point you have to shake the roster up. Or keep losing. Up to you. Speaking of losing…

Jake Wins

Logan vs Gray

Gray great time for music right not, several good albums out. Logan, fantastic couple weeks in the trade market. Dude is getting stars and THAT’S WHAT MATTERS. AJ Green is coming back at some point and so is Darius Guice, which will be a nice boost next year. I like Logan to go on quite the winning streak and get into the playoffs. This is not be the team you want to go against in the playoffs.

For my STONE COLD. LED PIPE. LOCK OF THE WEEK!

LOGAN BEATS GRAY

Adam vs Mitchell

TWO UNDEFEATEDS ENTER. ONLY ONE SHALL LEAVE. Adam’s team is good, maybe a little better than I gave him credit for earlier this year but I still think Shawn McVay has nightmares of with Bill Belicheck did to him in the super bowl (honest football note, Bill gave the league the blue print on how to stop LA and McVay has not adjusted yet). Jared Goff is not a good QB. TGIII is not the same running back. 49 attempts so far this year. Last year at this time he had 79. Thomas is still a good usable asset but he is not the same without Drew Brees. Hot takes time… Landry, do it for a second week. Ertz, is living in the shadow of his wife. Aaron Jones, Matt Laflure hates you. Keenan Allen, good at football. Speaking of good at football, I built a monster that even I can’t stop. Speaking of not being able to stop…

Mitchell wins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear God, it’s me, Mitchell. I’d like to apologize for questioning the ways of the all mighty last week. How dare I, narrow minded human, question what I do not understand. I now see your plan. Michigan losing to Wisconsin was all apart of your plan. It was a way to shake off the non-believers before you restore Michigan to its full glory. My only request is that you reward my faithfulness and put me at the right hand of Jim Harbaugh when we enter.

 

Faithfully and never doubtingly yours

Mitchell
