(Actually, I had a really tough week at work too--but hey, if there was a week to hibernate, I figured this was probably it.)
Mr. LA SF is also underneath a table somewhere, so let me give a quick recap of last week's efforts:
Spanky 72, Neeebs' Mom 54
Mr. Customer 129, Meanie Breanie 103
Steve Dittmore 66, Mr. LA SF 53
Dusty Baker 122, Karina 68
Paul 82, Nic J 44
Today gives us an extra hour of smacktalking. Fire up, people!
UPDATE 9:16a: Now with more Mr LA SF content!
Prof. Dittmore 66 (6-2) - MLASF 53 (2-6): The Professor takes advantage of my B-team (I had five players on byes) thanks to a late rally by Andre Johnson's 16 points in Monday Night Football. I had 14 points from both Ryan Fitzpatrick and Maurice Jones-Drew go for naught.
Spanky 72 (4-4) - Jason 54 (2-6): The Spankster moves back to .500 thanks to 22 points from rookie LaGarrette Blount and 15 points from the Rams' defense. Chris Johnson hauled 13 points for Jason, but no other player could reach double figures.
Mr. Customer 129 (4-4) - Meaniebreanie 103 (3-5): Mr. C gets his revenge from his juggernaut opening week loss thanks to a staggering seven double-digit showings. BenJarvus Green-Ellis led the way with 24 points, and Antonio Gates followed with 18. MB saw Brandon Lloyd snag 22 points and Terrell Owens add 18 to the mix, but it wasn't enough.
Dusty Baker 122 (7-1) - Karina 68 (5-3): In a battle of the top seeds, Dusty cam out on top. Arian Foster took 22 points in for DB, and Peyton Manning added 18. Jamaal Charles gave Karina 23 points, and Adrian Peterson took 20, but no other player had double-digits.
Paul 82 (5-3) - NicJ 54 (2-6): Nic can't catch a break, suffering his sixth straight loss, while Paul continues his drive for first in the western division. A monster 28 point outburst from Calvin Johnson propelled the new father, while Philip Rivers added 18 points. Tom Brady's 13 points and Percy Harvin's 12 were the crux of Nic's offense.
Week 9 gets Jason vs. MLASF, Spanky vs. Mr C, Paul vs. MB, Nic vs. Dusty, and Karina vs. Ditty. Hopefully, we can answer that immortal question, "If there's no baseball being played, does SoSG make a sound?"Baseball is over, and there's not much left to talk about. So let's talk about football! Because why not!

I just sent the wrapup now!
No worries Mr LA SF, I know the USC game ran late. Updated the post.
Thanks, Sax!
Gorgeous morning here in desert town. Perfect day to get my bootay kicked. Should be excruciating. Bring it Mr.C.
*falls to the ground in dramatic fashion for no apparent reason
*SMACK*
One of those weird days where there are two afternoon games.
Walkin' with my L'pool-loving head held high. Nice to see a well-contested match when I was expecting a blowout.
The Chargers are not good at football.
Brees is already killing me.
6 quick points for DB.
It's gonna be a long day.
Oh this ain't going so well.
I LOVE YOU PEYTON HILLIS
Digging a hole early.
Stupid Peyton Hillis.
Whole lot of nothing going on.
I smell a safety. come on Viking D
Whoo-hoo. On the board…
I'm really missing gates right about now.
Your killing me Viking D/ST
I love you so much, Adrian Peterson
ah, epale everyone!
I think I just lost Roddy White.
Hey, K!
@Czar why couldn't you lose Roddy White last week?
(cries)
I need an interception run back for a TD because I am not getting anything from Brees and Co.
Nice kick...
It took almost a whole half but yet another player of mine goes out with an injury.
yay Brees
If Calvin Johnson didn't get a TD, Arian Foster should not get a TD.
Arian Foster isnt fair.
alright who has the best shot at beating DB in the playoffs?
you can have any player of mine you want. I dont know why you would want them in the first place but still.
Sanchez: TOUCHDOWN!
yay!
I'm going to want something more from the boys in the second half.
THANK YOU FOOTBALL GOD(S)!!!
The city of Houston can boo, but that's the rules are. Calvin Johnson gets jobbed, so does Arian Foster.
^that's what the rules are
Shoulda started Mike Williams.
What's with this TD controversy you are going on about Mr.LA?
How does Patrick Crayton only have two receptions?
How was Arian Foster's thing not a TD?
Foster didn't maintain control of the ball when he hit the ground, so the TD was taken away. The same thing happened to Calvin Johnson in the first week.
ball popped out when he hit the floor. Have to have complete control on a TD catch.
Epale Y'all
Texas teams suck this year including mine.
(Cries)
I HATE YOU FLACCO!
Chester Taylor vultures a TD from Forte. Le sigh.
I was counting on that Mr.C.
Yay, Patrick Crayton!
Boys and girls,I'll have to leave you.I'm going to the FIRST PLACE AGUILAS game.
I hadn't said that in a LONG LONG time.
a la carga!
good luck with fantasy (not you, Professor!)
Throw it to Moore!
Later Karina!
Neil Rackers my kicker has more points than my receiver Steve Johnson. Johnson went limp :(
@Karina
Have a great time!
OHHH! NicJ took the lead.
Johnson showing some signs of life.
@Spank
It ain't over till it's over.
Nic is still down by 11.
My bye week replacement kicker just missed an extra point. AN EXTRA POINT!
im up by three.
DB still has manning and run DMC so it doesnt really matter.
that last minute randy McMichael sub for me really paid off.
The fantasycast isn't updating.
I love Peyton Hillis.
Mr. LASC
I had that issue earlier. Once I closed out and logged back in, it was fine. It's currently updating as I type this.
i just need Brady to throw a 75 yard TD pass to himself.
I can use an 80 yard TD bomb from Brees to Moore right now. But he'll probably just throw a pick.
i love how ryan matthews always goes down with an injury right after he fumbles.
My Team Sucks!
did wes welker just kick a PAT?
Whoever dropped the Saints D must be feeling very foolish right now.
the saints got me negative points just two weeks ago.
Ah the fickle finger of fate.
Meh, the saints blow this year anyways.
Did Dusty get a point from Welker's PAT?
Hey, shut up. The Saints are still good.
the saints are awful.
and yes i think he did.
Come on Tampa. Ride my horse DAMMIT
Saints will be tied for first after today.
That says more about the NFC being terrible than the Saints being good.
Well, at least that's a score.
Damnit. Gostkowski is injured?
The Patriots must have players on bye.
Once the Saints can reestablish the run game they'll be back on top.
at least brady gets one more crack at the endzone.
You could hear Schaub screaming at the ref.
FUCK YEAH PEYTON HILLIS
@wingoz Shay-ee ah-JEER-ah-two-two. You'll own it... And get used to it. He can play. Was shocked he was UDFA. Had 3rd rd grade on him.
Schaub should have taken some of Cushing's roids.
NVM brady is out of the game.
Good thing Denver got rid of Hillis. Tebow will save them.
FFFFFUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK!
Whew. Betts gets the carry.
Thanks fer nothing BenJarvus.
well im winning after the early games. I will consider that progress.
Blount could not take it in from 2 yards out. TWICE!
WOOHOO SHIANCOE
I'm hoping interception machine mode is disabled for Eli this week.
damn Mark Sanchez steals a goalline TD from LDT
Yay I get to hear Gus Johnson now.
In its usual manner my team chose to roll over and die at precisely the same time that Paul's chose to get some major mojo.
I would sacrifice all points from Brandon Jacobs in return of a horrible game from Eli.
MB, you still have 5 players to play.
paul has 1
Viking D coming up phat now.
@Nic
True but where we had matchups today his have managed to blow mine out. If my players stay on present course he could definitely pull it out.
You got the big guns still Meanie.
If this game gets any more exciting, Gus Johnson's head will pop off.
Yeah, MB. You still have some heavy hitters.
Time will tell ;~)
The Saints went marching in. I haven't paid close attention. Can someone tell me what happened to Shockey?
I feel bad for Neeebs' mom. HaHa
D-Jax! Way to return!
@ Meanie
He caught a TD and got hurt on the play.
I don't get that Budweiser commercial. It shows Wrigley getting all preped for a game, but then it shows jets flying over Busch Stadium.
Thx McSpank. I hope he's not hurt too badly.
Damn I thought Holmes could have gone all the way.
Peyton throws a pick which leads to a FG for my kicker.
a 5 point swing for my team!!
We have some major upsets in the making:
NIC OVER DUSTY
Spank over Mr. C
@Mr. LASC, what did Neeeb's mom ever do to you? Talk about a major spanking!
I can't help it if he only has 19 points.
Now you guys know why I ditched Gostkowski and the Pats' D.
LASC....I was just sayin ;~))
Did you all just see the commercial with Joe Suck? It looks like he colored his hair.
Going from Harvard to Oakland is like going from Bel Air to Compton.
Still a lot of players to play, still. Day is early, MB.
Epale DB
You're right on all fronts. I should know by now that anything goes in FF. I see the gap between you and Nic has narrowed. Arian Foster has been a goldmine. Your matchup is definitely an interesting one to watch.
DeSean must have some severe memory loss. He thinks he's still playing in last week's game.
Double-dip TD!
I'M ALIVE!
McSpank. WTF was I thinking. HaHa. I think thats the night I quit Steel Reserve. Or was it the next night. This weekend has been a blur.
Damn Mr.C has made a comeback.
(cries)
Mr. C and McSpank going mano a mano.
Freak play.
Karina's laying the lumber on the Professor.
How does one get a 1/2 point?
Scoreboard says I have 43.5 points. Must be on crack.
Spanky pulled a ditty. Got half a point on his D. ESPN will spot the other half tomorrow probably.
Not me on crack. The scoreboard is on crack.
I hope the Giants run the ball now that it is a blowout.
Yeah, half a point in a game that's over, even.
Not to call attention to myself but ESPN is fucking with my emotions right now. Make up your fucking mind on how many points I have already. Shit.
It's replaying the Vikes - Cards in fast forward.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The projection still thinks I'm going to get to 100 somehow. That's a bit optimistic.
the projections are always wrong.
Well they are for me at least.
I'm with Nic. The projections have never been accurate.
i am loving Akers today.
Gotta go but I have my Strat ready to play the blues in case of being massacred upon my return.
Poor Austin Collie. He's being placed on a stretcher. Hope he will be ok.
Phiwwy's D is the biggest offensive weapon the Colts have going.
Indy cashing in on all the penalties.
all tied up at the half.
DB is sweating.
whew, just got a break in both games.
OT in the raiders game will kill me.
What happened to Austin Collie? I am getting pummeled. Looks like it's Blues for Spanky night. Bye Bye winning streak.
@Spank
Collie got clocked and suffered a concussion.
OMG! I am going to say something right now that will get me ridiculed(as usual) but times is desperate.
LETS GO COWBOYS! Score MegaPoints!
(cries)!
!!
Spank
Those words are music to my ears ;~))
GO COWBOYS!
Paul has some depth at QB. Rivers and Vick. He should probably trade one, preferably to me.
Vick might have talent but he is despicable. Leave it to The Eagles to employ him. My feelings toward The Eagles are about the same between LA and SF.
hateHateHATE!
Says the person whose starting quarterback has twice been accused of sexual assault.
Do you love me now Meanie? HaHa
@ Mr.LA @ 5:24
Exactly
LASC
I agree that where there's smoke there's fire. I certainly don't think Big Ben is innocent. As with Vick he does have talent.
They are both despicable.
That is too bad about Collie. I had just re-signed him. Now I have to get rid of him like they do for reals.
OK Cowboys keep it clean. We don't need a slew of penalties tonight.
Go Dallas Dez Bryants!!!!
Score some TD's DAMMIT
if we are going to be pointing out the criminal record of NFL players i think we are in for a long night.
I love you Witten. Please rack up some points.
I knew i should have picked up Kitna.
Spank
After that play aren't you glad you don't have him?
W00t!
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Come on Rodgers. Throw it to Jones in the end zone.
so close to a win but the cowboys are freakin awful.
Throw the ball away DUMMY.
Man, I don't know how many times I came one yard short of scoring TD's today.
I didn't think the Cowboys could get any worse. They continue to amaze me with their downward spiral.
just five points away
well the FF watch is about to lose my attention to the laker game.
all Dez needs is one garbage time TD
The Cowboys need a no-nonsense type coach. And for Jerry Jones to worry only about getting face lifts not controlling the team.
^not about
garbage time might be the whole second half
WADE MUST GO!
this is getting ugly.
and funny
It's nauseating. It sort of reminds me of a few Dodgers games this past season.
Huh. How did I not get 6 points out of that "fumble" recovery.
I need a lifeline. Come on Kitna
Fuck Yeah! HaHa
allllllllllll tied up
BEAT DB
BEAT DB
BEAT DB
Congrats Nic!
There's the garbage TD.
I feel so petty and small just concentrating on beating a specific team rather than winning it all.
Now i know how the Pods/Gints feel.
Garbage never tasted so sweet.
Had to be the avatar. I guess I am not rogue against Dusty.
This was sent the other day by a Dallas friend:
In the case of a tornado in the DFW area, please head directly to Cowboy Stadium. Chances of a touchdown there are unlikely!
Down goes Baker! Down goes Baker!
(said in Howard Cosell voice)
just came back,before I get into fantasy football, I've got to say:
it was a win! 7 in a row, 6 at home, which included a doubleheader!Aguilaaaaaaas, a la cargaaaaaaaaaaa!
before today, collective era this week was 0.42.Yes, I'm aware that's not a valid statistic ;)
A couple more TDs' for Dallas, a TD for Jones and I'm back in this Mofo.
(sounds like a bit of a stretch)
I don't feel comfortable with my lead :(
specially because the Professor has the Giants quarterback and I have a Giants WR
Green Bay, you mean?
Green Bay right!
(blushes)
Actually, they looked pretty similar today. Both laid a beat down on their respective opponents.
