Week 6

Didn't See This Coming!

Just when I thought I had things going my way, the Flyers had their worst game in years. What a cruel mistress fantasy football can be. But I wasn't the only one to hit the pavement hard. In fact, it was an 'off' scoring week across the board.

Yes, I suck at Excel stuff but you get the gist. Some of this is due to Bye Week teams but a lot of normally high scoring guys had shit weeks. And so it goes.

Speaking of how it goes... more players are falling by the wayside. Let's see... Rice, Evans, Hurts, McLaurin, Davante Adams. Who am I missing?

Only two teams, the Rbacks and Holes are more than a game out of first place (they are both two back in the Barenholtz) but both are trending up. Hey, look at the Rbacks' Points Against, almost 730! That's over 50 more than the next most scored against team, the Legends. That's crazy talk.

Here is some Johnny Cash for those of you feeling busted flat in Baton Rouge.

I'm happy to see that waivers are so busy, at least through last week. Makes me more convinced that the roster reduction is doing what it was intended to do. I'm not so happy that I'm getting outbid on most of my guys. I guess I've gotten cheap in my old age....Speaking of waivers, I've stopped tracking the team totals. I fell behind a week or so ago and with the numbers meshing I think the MFL system has been working correctly. If you notice any issue with your FA cash, let me know and I can check it out.

Did I put the whammy on the Giants with this 300 Wins stuff? They've lost a couple in a row and Rick won't find it any easier this week going up against a pretty stout Strawmenn club. He'll get that milestone sooner rather than later. Speaking of wins... Here's a look at the Week 6 standings from 40, 30, 20, and 10 years ago!

1986, a ten team league and Keith took the title...

1996, this was the first of back-to-back Flyer championships (sigh).

2006, another title for the Sticks.

2016, a decade back, the Holes reigned supreme when it was over.

I'll do stuff like this from time-to-time. I might as well get some use from the websites I compiled over the summer for every one of our seasons. BTW.. in case you haven't had the chance, you can go to this page and find links to all our season sites. Some of those old Hughes News editions were pretty tasteless and would get me cancelled in this more enlightened age.
