It was real and it was fun and in one of those rare occasions the two combined on Saturday Night to make the 64/60 Halloween Fest real fun. Alcohol was consumed in obscene amounts to the level of absurdity. Which in case you are wondering is above a Monster Truck event at the local Civic Center but not quite to the level of a Motley Crue after party circa 1988. There was a A cappella concert with me as the headliner. No Highway To Hell like the Jenny Lewis years but me and my fellow drunkers knocked Friends in Low Places out of the park. The ladies in the house played "Circle Of Death", which is sometype of drinking game that was originally targeted for teenagers and young 20 somethings but by god old habits die hard. While the ladies took shot after shot us guys sat around told lies and watched football, typical Saturday Night fare in the Coleman household. It fondly brought back memories of the weekly bar trips back in the day which usually ended with me and the Bopp sitting in some bar stool watching ESPN with only one request for the Hot and Busty bartender, "Babydoll could you turn up the TV.". Once again old habits die hard. This was the setting for the evening, football became UFC around midnight, the "Circle of death" became the lefthanded hot potatoe back porch smoker style. No doubt as a nod to the 12th Rd Kickers Ownership.
As the night faded into the morning the patrons parted ways traveling safely to different locales around the Tri-State. Other than the typcial party couple squabble which followed the textbook procedures: Problem arises from nowhere, one party member is clueless to the anger, angered party leaves in car, angered party quickly evaluates the stupidity, angered party returns to venue, couple leave event even closer than before; there was no drama to be found. Although multiple sources have reported that a female version of Andrew Clark on Wild Turkey was alive and well on Rice Lane in the early morning hours. The top costume honors has to go to James Hardy. Hardy pulled off a dead on Kenny Powers look while the other half certainly had the look that Powers would approve of. On a side note I haven't seen any episodes of East Bound and Down but anyone who owns the first season a loan would be much appreciated. For those who are suprised that I did not nominate my own costume you should realize that mine was so "of the hook" it belongs in the Hall Of Fame so to compare anything to it would not be fair.
The Halloween festivities wasn't the only thing going on in the 64/60 this weekend. We did have some Week 7 Football action which put 6 teams over the .500 mark and left 6 teams below. Without going back into the archives this season seems to have been void of the close contest. This week we had two matchups decided by less than 3 points. GRC3 hatred for Fantasy no doubt intensified as if a one point loss isn't enough you lose Romo for 6-8 weeks and given the way the Boys have played thus far it's very likely that Romo won't return again this season. Tree Fiddy who has been the victim time and time again of the matchup loss, managed to reverse the trend this week and despite racking up a lackluster 68 points but hey whatever it takes. In a battle of the top dogs steelerdomination rocked the Jitsuers by 42. Don't look now but the Jitsuers have now lost two in a row and his points per game over the same span has fell by 20 points. Don't look now but the Butch Lemaster of Fantasy Football, Bill Fenney, who hasn't meet a player he doesn't like (note the league leading 25 moves) has moved up to the 2nd spot in the league in a under the radar fashion. The Slobber Knockers once again lose and further tighten the gripe on the title of leagues worst. Losses by the Shock and the Stars this week have brought them to 2-5 and the light that guides you to the playoffs is guickly fading.
Asses 103 vs. 9irons 102. 9irons went with the Gilbert no defense approach and paid for it. For the record all but 3 available defenses would have given the 9irons a win.
MOP- Turner 28
Kicker 132 vs. Amish 130. Talk about a bad beat the Amish lose a tough one to the Kicker's who got a 25 point game from Witten on Monday that was largely because of Jon Kitna. Go figure.
MOP- Colston 27
Fiddy 68 vs. Knockers 59. Since Todd played this week as a Bye Week and still won I vote we give everyone a W when they play the Knockers.
MOP- MJD 22
Hunters 146 vs. Stars 124. Pretty good odds of earning a W when 8 of 10 spots generate double digits.
MOP- Steve Johnson (Not the Ike Turner type in the BC area) 29
BCFP 144 vs. Shock 103. The Don't Hate It Date It campaign roles on which may have been the reason for Butch's shunning of the Halloween festivities.
MOP- Ward, Ocho 26
steelerdomination 168 vs. Jitsuers 126. In a battle of Jesse Ward productions it was the draft day stepchild who ruled the day. For the Jitsuers perhaps a new old school rap album is in order.
MOP- Britt 47
Pickup Of the Week- Steve Johnson Bounty Hunters. Who is Steve Johnson? Only God himself and Bill Fenney could have projected Johnsons huge day. Typcially a matchup with the Ravens with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the QB and a WR who hasn't posted a yardage game over 100 since 2008 isn't a winning formula.
Head Scratcher Of The Week- Reggie Bush Jitsuers- Just a week after grabbing Bush from the Waiver Wire at a great rate of $12. Bush was dropped in favor of a aging RB who's carries have declined in the past couple of weeks and could lose the job to Blount at any moment. Yes Bush is injured but word is Bush may very well return this week against the Steelers.
