Hot Action In The (NFC) South!

It’s the fantasy playoffs! Does one dare start a Baker that hasn’t thrown for 200 yards in four straight games? Is this the night he gets out of his funk? You may have reason to insert him (more below) but I don’t know what your options are. I’m on board with Grossi and Perna-I’ve said it previously, I can’t recall a more entertaining football season in the last decade than this very one.

Flotsam and Jetsam:

-Colts practice-squadder P. Rivers is in ‘wait and see’ mode at the moment. He’s completely accustomed to that but rather than staring between his wife’s legs in the delivery room to ascertain the sex of the next kid on the assembly line, he’ll be looking for the go-ahead to head under center. Starting at 44 might be his crowning achievement.

-Commies QB Daniels is back on the sidelines again with elbow troubles. For the love of bologna salad, don’t let him see the field again this year.

-I like this ESPN headline whereby one word does some quality multitasking-“Texans Minority Owner Javier Loya Suspended and Fined 500K”. Btw, when you have all kinds of money you can get 1st Degree Sexual Assault pled down to-get this-“Harassment With Intent To Annoy”. The latter charge is a dead-on description of me trying to get my wife to change the channel.

To The Game!

Falcons/Bucs:

-I’m told that both squadoos are breaking out some old unis and that one of them will be creamsicle-like. Someone call me wrong in the comments but I’ve never heard a single soul say, “Remember those old Falcons jerseys? I miss them.” So I don’t know what the hell they’ll be trotting out.

-Back at the beginning of this season (oh so long ago…) I figured both these teams would be around 8-5 but ATL is 1-7 the last two months and Tampa is 1-4 lately.

-The Bucs have lifted wr’s Evans and McMillan off IR and Wirfs is ready to go as well. That Atlanta secondary has been more generous than not but there must be rust on those wheels.

-Tampa has had a quietly good draft in that Emeka and Tez have contributed as well as Edge Roberts and cb’s Parrish and Morrison.

-Speaking of, the Falcons went D with 4 of their 5 picks and A), it was badly needed and B), it didn’t make much difference at all.

-Can you say that a dude that has accumulated 1,683 scrimmage yards is underachieving? Those are Bijan’s numbers and a bunch of folks that follow the team feel that the OC doesn’t really understand what he has on his hands.

It’s right this way to the comment section.
