Beer vs Brats Bowl 1

Oh boy. Let's cut right to the chase. Poor Big John. If he takes any type of lead into Monday Night, he'll be screaming BJSFUAR!! Can we get a webcam?

And also, let's not forget what's at stake in the 3rd Place Bowl: the better draft spot. That's right, loser drafts in spot #10 and the winner in spot #9. It actually might quietly be the best prize of the day....


Let's get it on...

Beer vs Brats Bowl 1 (NB3):

Until Tony Romo (anyone still impressed with this guy?) woke in in the 4th i would expect BJ to admit he felt fatman was pulling away. As it is, he provided enough of a game to certainly keep it a game, especially if (as some believe) the Pack is walking into a buzzsaw Monday Night - 37-3 earlier in the year be damned.

In the backfields, fatman got off to a good start with MJD, but no TDs. Jacobs...could be an issue. Dinged guys in week 16 are tough. If the score gets lopsided in one direction or another he could see the bench until the playoffs at any point in the game. Gotta be a concern. BJ has a backfield that certainly looked scary earlier in the year but both players have underwhelmed. I have to say I like fat's RBs better than BJ, but the possibility exists that even with MJDs start BJ could get him here. He's in toruble if not...

WRs/TEs - AJ/White/Cooley/Witten vs Coles/moss/Moosh/Shockey The TEs are probably a foregone conclusion since Shockey really hasn't had anything consistent this year. Before writing off BJ I think it's important to note both Coles and Moss are in it for good vis a vis playing the whole game. I'd expect Moosh to as well but there's no telling what Nawlins does now they're eliminated. AJ + White are certainly killer but also a little streaky, though perhaps that had more to do with Sage (for AJ). I give a slight edge again to Fat but not as big as one would expect.

PK/D - Rackers/Steelers vs Bironas/Atlanta - Bironas is a one man wrecking crew all by his lonesome. Rackers? Good luck in the snow, kid. Steelers v Atalanta? INteresting take, gotta like the Steelers but going up against T Jackson has to warm up BJ. I don't care he tossed 4 last week. He won't this week.

In the end, it looks like a ARSFU win, but if it comes down to Monday Night Football, with a team named after the QB hoping their biggest rival doesn't plant his ass in the ground to see if it'll root. Well then, all bets will be off and the Pack will have one less fan rooting for their QB that night. Delicious!

I'll tell you one thing...as much as the Pack has pissed me off this year, I've loved cheering for ARodg. Great write-up Pope...let's hope you're correct!

And, as always...

GO PACK GO!!!!

With Boldin out, i am toast.

Down to MNF and ARodg?

Looks like B Jacobs and ARodg vs Moose Muhammad.

Doesn't look good for ya, BJ.

Amani needs to break out or else I got third place locked up gentlemen.

15 points v ARodg. Oh BJ, I feel for ya!

Worst part for BJ is ARodg owns Lovie.

I know a true fan like John is rooting for GB to win over a fantasy win...though I'm sure he wouldn't weep if Grant busted out for 200 yds and 4 tds and ARodg was stuck handing off and throwing 87 yds worth of screens.

Jacobs

Wow...you couldn't have scripted this one better...ARSFU needs 15 from A Rog for the championship...classic...

I'm guessing this was written before DW's 2nd TD?

Always - Packer wins are Packer wins. Jacobs at least keeps me in this one...AJ, Roddy and PITT really killed me. I also started them in my local championship and that one's over. Let's go ARODG!

I believe I wrote it right before he scored his third TD. One of the last holdovers from my original draft here. Wow!

What a great final game. Congrats to Fatman on the victory.

Congrats Fat dude!

WOW. Down to the wire. Well done, Gents!


Payment breakdown will be published tomorrow. Paypals by XMas Eve, checks in the mail otherwise....

Congrats!

Congratulations You Guys!

Another very fun year in Norris! Now this off-season if someone could help me finally find a decent team name, I would very much appreciate it!

Congrats Fatman...too bad your stupid Packers couldn't manage to win the damn game for the sake of the Vikings fans...

Thanks guys...this is my first BOTH title and something that I'm very proud to earn. That game killed me, however - I guess the only good thing is that the Pack has prepared us for it over the past two months....

I will say this - I'm going to Lambeau for the Lions game on Sunday. If they mess-up the imperfect season I am going to be PISSED!

Thanks to Pope for running a great league.

Yeh, what was gut-wrenching and the last Jacobs TD was heart-breaking. Congrats

BTW, I am going to be in Green Bay this weekend for the holidays.

You too, a good game. The story really was the Jacobs TD in OT.

Are you going to the Lions game?

Not sure yet.

I will be pissed if the Pack screws up the perfect season for the Lions. I still hate the Pack for that f'n Favre to Sharpe javelin toss in the Silverdome. F'n Favre. If the Pack screws this up for the Lions, my hatred for the green and yellow will reach new levels.

Went to the game, but missed the connections

BIL was in control of the situation and seemed to do everything to screw things up. First off, going to Catholic mass is a must with him, so I was planning on going to early mass. Bad weather last night put the kibosh on that. So on to a later mass, then he was to drive me there, but he had some errands he just "had to do" before dropping me off , so I finally get there at 11:30. He is also of the type that believes that arriving at 12:15 for a 12:00 appointment is still way too early. Got a VM from him that he was there and drunk just after 10:00. I try connecting with him at that time, then a few more phone call attempts afterward, but no luck.

Sidenote, on the way back, we had a falling out so i am really in a lousy mood.

Ummm...Merry Christmas? Cheer up big guy.

I think I'm the drunk that BJ's talking about here...sorry we couldn't meet up (especially considering the situation around it for you). I did get good and drunk and cheered my ass off...lots of fun. Maybe a game next year

Fatman seems to studiously avoid Big John...I think either Fats is hideously deformed like Joseph Merrick or he nurses a man-crush on BJ that he fears would flower into full-blown love and destroy his tepid, flavorless current existence.

But I merely theorize; for all I know, Fats is a 13-year old Korean transsexual from Tulsa.

Hmmmm?

If that's the case, then I may have met Fats without realizing it.

Not sure how I missed these comments before, but I figured there would be commentary from the peanut gallery. Rest assured, Chavez, I did my part to shed the anti-social label bestowed upon me.

As for SB, all I can say is that I'm an awesome 28 year-old American male. Sorry to ruin your fantasies.


















Weirdo.
