Week 16
by Randie Swanberg
Bam bam bam bam bam da da da da da da da.
When we last spoke, I wasn't yet the official Overlord of 2005. Well now I am so hooray for me. Shawn's got until next summer to enjoy his reign. Then it all goes down the toilet.
Save ME, that is. Washington's win over the Giants really made my quest for the Jersey an uphill climb. With two games to play, I'm two back. Here's what needs to happen in order for me to catch Colin for secnod place:
In short, I'm fucked. Better start looking for baby blue face paint and some of those temporary tattoos. This is going to look pretty stupid on my face:
Shawn got a too-little-too-late win from San Fran, but he's still assured of the worst record in the history of the bag. Randie went 2-0 to take the week. Since Colin got his 6,275th red flag last week, Randie's write-up will need to be extra special - I'm sure he'll come through.
One week to go.........
Now we're getting down to the nitty gritty. Shawn has officially clinched the bag - er, um, congratulations!, and good luck with that! - so the only two spots still up for grabs are Jerseyboy and Faintpacer. Colin steamrolled into week 16 with a 2-0 record to nab this week's write-up. Shawn's Raiders (I'm through claiming them as my own) shit the bed again, giving up a field goal as time expired to Cleveland, while the Redskins manhandled Dallas. Congratulations, Captain V - you da man.
By "Senior" Lenny "Herr" Herold
It seems like the draft was only yesterday... so much hope, so much excitement. Yet here we are, closing in on season's end, and I find myself striving towards one last ray of light, a single goal that remains attainable.
The Bag -- or specifically, fear of it -- is all I have left. Think about what I'm confessing to you, faithful reader. I'm telling you, our supporter through thick and thin, that my quest to avoid repeating as Pacefainter is more imporant to me than anything right now. Fantasy football? Over. "A Committment to Excellence"? At this point, I sure as hell hope not. "Dolfan Lenny"? Let's not get carried away.
It was a busy weekend in the Bag. Team Herold, for obvious fear of the paint, is making a late season push. Lenny (10-16) went 2-0, getting the write up and moving one game behind Colin (11-15) with 3 weeks remaining...
