Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Ranking of the Week
Bo "Let’s make one thing perfectly clear. There was nothing wrong with Bo’s JJ trade. It could be a good trade for him, it could backfire, the DelFL will find out soon enough. You can make the case that it wasn’t a great trade for Sqwid, but there are many bad trades every year in the DelFL. The Commissioner made a trade with Stinky in 2011 that basically singlehandedly gave him his Brown Jacket. It is a false equivalency to compare Bo’s trade and the complete roster dumping of a perpetual sore loser who quits EVERY TIME things get tough. Yes, the Commissioner gave in, but even colorblind Tony could see the true colors of the DelFL’s anarchist.”

Sean's Stinkers of the Week
1. Trading – Never has the idea of trading been more toxic than these last couple of weeks. It all started with a sneak attack for Justin Jefferson. Many didn’t see this coming, but one owner did. He had tried to get ahead of it and secure a trade to defend this off, like building a wall that would stave off the eventual attack. But talks broke and the defense lines were eventually breached. Which then led to the re-opening of the collusion-accusation-factions conflict (East Coast Browns vs ’07 FHS) that has been ongoing for years. What followed was constant shelling and bombardment of said accusations and iffy trades. Some would say they hadn’t seen anything like it since after 9/11 when Chawstains and Duck Dynasty tried to wipe the league off the map with the most blatant collusion attack ever seen. Parties are clearly divided and people have to decide which side they support. Talks of allowing all trades through or even banning trades all together, a sort of ceasefire if you will-- cannot be reached. And ultimately who loses? Us, the innocent bystanders of the DelfL. The ones just trying to play fantasy football and enjoy our normal football lives.
2. Log Cabin Vacations - Never really got them. How silent is too silent and how much silence does one actually need to watch Youtube? Is it a self-reflection thing? Why bring bears and dirt into play if you don’t have to? I don’t know maybe the Stinker of the Week Committee needs to try it for themselves before making judgements. But as one SoW member pointed out—Melatony seemed way to giddy about the idea of making cookies in the cabin. Red Flag. And then again I guess it can always get worse… you could exchange a weekend in a heated log cabin for a weekend with Keith in his deer stand.
3. My TE Whispering- It’s hard to explain how awful my choices have been this season at TE. I’ve had a total of 76.3pts from the TE position for the season… yes the entire 7 week season. That’s basically an average of 11pts each week… Yikes. Rode Taysom hoping for that one breakout game for 4 straight weeks. Got tired, dropped him, and yes of course he’s went off two straight weeks. Bought the new hot toy in Mr. Halloween Michael Mayer… 9.6pt dud. Am I like the “Bad Luck Guy” from Celtic Pride with Tight Ends? Do I need to be escorted out of the garden? Unfortunately I think the answer is a resounding yes.
4. Seals – It’s hard to watch these poor pups out on the open sea trying learning to swim with all the orcas, whites and leopard seals circling. Total submission to give-in seems all but inevitable if it hasn’t already happened. He’s not just not winning, but he’s also doing it in style by posting back-to-back-to-back Britt Bown Banners. Brown Cocina may be re-opening on Sundays, which now thinking about it may not be the worst thing.
5. Wid’s Kicker Prejudice- This week was a bit puzzling for the flying squids, as he left a clear hole in the lineup by keeping the kicker spot vacant. There were 4 kickers including his boy Boswell there for the picking to beat out Parker this week, but instead he chose not kick. Some choose not to run and some choose not to kick. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a car muffler to get an early jump which ultimately cost him a W.

The Night of the 12th (movie)
Without giving too much away… this French crime thriller basically sums up the mood or the way I’m starting to think this season of mine will end up. It’s a gripping, intense and a bit of a depressing ride that ends with you thinking yea maybe things don’t always turn out the way you think or want. Happens.
