Week 3 review
Kevin vs Smith
Well this ended up being a pretty shit start. The second CMC went down in the Thursday night game this outcome was kind of determined and then Smith also lost Henderson which all but sealing it. Kevin still had a great week and even with Smith’s two starting RBs it might not have been that close. Kevin continues to pick the right team but that’s mostly because there isn’t anyone on his bench he would actually play. Both of these guys are probably playoff bound so it really doesn’t matter.
Ross vs Josh
Another blowout with a lot on the line. Josh open himself up to unnecessary amounts of grief by taken a bet against Ross for the naming rights of each other’s teams. This is week 3 and you pretty much killed any sort of extra boost that a team name can give. Ross will now be in Josh’s team’s head for the rest of the year… Ross‘s team clicked at every level but TE…again… and he will hope that his RBs can do this week in week out. Josh’s team has been rather consistent with being above 100 each week however this team has like no “IT” factor and is probably gonna bust more than boom. Changes need to be made.
Naughton vs Tyles
This game technically isn’t over but it might as well be, outside of Kevin, Naughton has had a stand out performance. However this is was like the stars aligning, massively favorable match ups for everyone of his players except for Chubb and it showed. Tyles have a team that is very similar to Josh’s but will probably have a +7 average pts total more than him rest of season. Which really could be the playoff line. But i suspect when the Ravens do well, Tyles will do well. Winning on a kick that probably never should have happened is not what I’d call “doing well”
Jake vs Matt
Matt’s team did that thing that happens to all fantasy players and that’s missing almost every good start. It really blows when this happens especially if you’ve done research and just goes to show that fantasy football can be very unforgiving. Jake’s team was not what we call pretty but he does have those boom type players and there is a lot of talent on this team however this is the first time it clicked and worked out so we will see what happens in future weeks.
Drew vs Cubby
Even if i did win, i would’ve yelled at myself. Every single one of my starters has had a massive points total week already (except JT) just not at the same time. I’m desperate for some lineup clarity and am definitely over tinkering. Josh Allen had a game, the Saints D had a game but my position players blew DONG. Hopefully i can get back up to .500 next week and not lose by single digits. Now let’s talk about Cubby, his team is pretty good, i think he’s got a bit more to him than some of the 0-3 and 1-2s in this league… that being said, both 3-0 teams have faced significantly lower point totals giving the illusion of success when it might not be as set in stone as they might think.
It’s still early and there is a lot of fantasy left to play.
Comparisons: Fast food breakfast places
Cubby: Panera Bread
I used to never really give this place more than a cursory glance on the “who has the best fast food breakfast” but last year i tried the brioche breakfast sandwich and it’s a fucking winner. However, this guy i grew up with named Jimmy Hiliagoss used to work there said it is the most backwards ass company and management just made the worst decisions 90% of the time…. Oh but their coffee is shit so i still rarely give it a chance.
Tyles: Chick-fil-a
Chick-fil-a is so fucking popular, every time i drive by one it’s just surrounded by people and is always on social media because an employee like fixed a flat tire in the drivethru. The chicken biscuit is like Drugs and the coffee is A-O-K and the rest of us are just Stuck in the Middle between great food and the companies suspect ethics… but they are nowhere to be found on Sundays.
Matt: White Castle
I bet some of you still don’t know that this is a winning choice in the morning and has been for a while. WC cornered the breakfast market with a very important niche in the pantheon of fast food breakfast and that’s fucking waffles. An unsuspecting contender who most of the time appears to not care but they will churn out these waffle sliders when someone actually gives them a second glance. However with every high there is a low and directly following a winning breakfast you will be in the bathroom. But it was worth the winning breakfast.
Kevin: McDonalds
The gold standard for FF breakfast. We all know what the peak looks like for McDanks here, a bacon egg n cheese bagel with a large coffee and thrown in a hashbrown for good measure. But here’s the situation, not every McDonald’s can fulfill this order, that was the best case scenario and they’re are still decent options but it’s really just not the same… in fact McDanks has on occasion been known to become McDogshit.
Ross: Burger King
Despite the name this guy ain’t the king of shit. Burger King has been around for as long as there has been fast food breakfast and you’d think after all these years they’d come up with something to get them over the line. But the best attempt i can remember is probably that buttery croissant sandwich or FT sticks (which are the only items that are orderable(new word)) and those items couldn’t hold a candle to the FF breakfast staples. However Bill Gates once said there is a lot of money in being second…unfortunately for Russbin it’s like 5th.
Naughton: Subway
There is nothing fresh about this place and despite what the company tells us, that sandwich is not a footlong. The menu boasts a lot of choices but the slightest deviation might cost you extra and even if you suggest the meat (players) is past it’s expiration date just by looking at it, the employee will just stare blankly at you until you get uncomfortable and go to Panera Bread.
Smith: Starbucks
A rather boujee pick for fast food breakfast consumed almost exclusively by self-import
23 year olds who want to marry someone like their Dad and Nantucket MILFs. The food might be an overpriced mess but the name on the letter head is Starbucks Coffee not Starbucks Breakfast. It’s very clear what they want you to see, and that’s okay, there focus is on other things and on their best day that coffee can be the first pick in the draft.
Josh: Taco Bell
This seems pretty generous for a guy who is 0-3 i hear some of you saying. But remember this is breakfast. I can with confidence say I have never been completely satisfied with Taco Bell Breakfast, just like how I have never been convinced by his teams. It’s not that it’s bad, but i think it’s just Taco Bell with slightly more annoyed employees making it and an egg thrown in to convince you it’s breakfast. There are breakfasts on here that are objectively worse it’s just i know what my food is going to taste like before i order it…can i get extra breakfast salsa’s please?
Jake: Casey’s
*John Cena music playing* this… this is a Supernova of a take and it only focuses on one thing and one thing only… Breakfast pizza. I will always be happy to see Breakfast pizza and will almost always grab a slice and so will Iowa Girls from Dubuque. It’s the great constant and like death and taxes or you losing in a final. Oh and you can buy a Miller lite tall boy with your pizza.
Drew: Dunkin
I run on Dunkin more than America does. On it’s day it’s Dunkin is the best, and you can’t change my mind however… the second worst cup of coffee i ever had was from the only Dunkin in Yorkshire England. I literally dropped it on the ground after my first gulp because i was so surprised. Dunkin is usually in contention especially in the playoffs but not every Dunkin is the same which usually is their downfall.
