Week 3 LoL FFL Post:

From here on out until the post-season analysis post, this will be the structure on a weekly basis. Kyriacos has graciously accepted the duties of writing the weekly matchup posts and I will supplement them with my pick reviews and predictions for the week. Enjoy!

BROUGHT TO YOU BY KYRIACOS

Dearest mother —

I write you this in haste as our Week 3 at the farm has since come to its conclusion. The viral load infecting the multitude, still persists amongst us farmers and we must cleanse our hands daily to keep safe. Many farmers have succumbed to slow harvest this year and many of them likely wish to be cleansed as I write thee. Mainly I think of Brother Sean and Brother Ahsan, as they fallen the most ill as of late. I trust they shall prevail over these darkest of days, but hope seems lost. Also, Brother Chris still chooses to lay with other men…. He knows it’s a sin in the eyes of his creator, but he can’t help himself. We couldn’t save him this week; he was gaped the worst of us. An unholy gaping at that. Please pray for him and heed my warning of the treacherous road ahead he inevitably will face. I love you.

— Kcos

P.S. Dearest friends — I hope this letter finds you all well. Life on the family farm is just as I remembered…

Colten vs Kcos

In this here soiree, there was a showdown between the master and pupil. The pupil betrothed a damsel the week before and subsequently proceeded to score more than enough points to beat every other chap in the place. Unfortunately for him, he faced the top scorer of the week, in myself. Brother Noah Fant did him no favors; scoring a measly 2.5 points against a hapless New York defense. Also, the Italian Sirianni family didn’t seem to trust Pastor Miles with anything. Hand him the ‘’rock’’ or the ‘’loaf of bread’’ more than a putrid 2 times please!!! Unacceptable and blasphemous. Master Kcos improves to 2-1 and Pupil Dougherty falls to 1-2. Division foes they are, but alas friends they be forevermore!

Naz vs Sean

The quill has never felt more heavy. The pain in my heart for my brethren Sean aches within me. He has put such an effort into all things good and continues to coil in despair. How we all on the farm weep in his sorrow, we rejoice in knowing that he too sees the light at the end of this weary path! Nevertheless, we ceremoniously applaud our Brother Nazim for his 1st victory in his lengthy season of loss! He has triumphed against the weaker man to raise his sword high!! In a division with only 2 winning records, he shall seize his chance to claim his rightful throne! — Or most likely, immense pain is in his future, as is consistent in his fantasy journey. Mother dearest, please pray for our Brother Sean, as he has yet to taste the sweet nectar of conquest. He trusts he shall soon.

Rimmel vs Alex

In the deepest annals of my analysis, I couldn’t decipher this witchcraft! We have a witch amongst us gentlemen!! And he goes by the name of Tae! For Brother Tae was knockithed outtithed cold by a hit dirtier than Lucifer himself…And yet somehow after death he arose from the blue tent a new — with new life! The medicine man claimed he was okay to continue on the field of battle, but we all know, deep down, he didn’t know what year it was. The defenses in the Bay of Tampa let down my friend Rimmel…Furthermore nothing could have stopped the full offensive onslaught that thine Alex displayed! He thus improves to 3-0, while mine dearest Rimmel remains steadfast in his own truth — at 1-2! Stay strong my friend, prosperity awaits in the riches of draft picks to come. This I promise to thee!

Ali vs Humza

Sadly, I can’t begin to describe the horror that I have witnessed here. A man in Humza, was wrongly convicted by the fantasy gods!! They struck him with the curse of the dreaded #1 overall pick and alas, the lamb he chose was not the messiah but a false prophet with weak hamstrings! Not only that but a fallacious judgment was cast down upon him as well! The leader of his tribe was ruled to have not crossed over into the promise land, even though from every angle shown, he had crossed. This small error cost Humza his destiny of 3-0, but Ali hence prevailed! He entrusted Brother Barber, when not many did. This duel gaveth us profound drama, and we salute you both for your courage. My compliments!

Parth vs Ahsan

Here I’m reminded of an old Chinese proverb my dearest father once told me; and it goes like this:

Before old man live in silence, not happy how his family treating him. Even though he have much success in life, his family not have his back when visiting them. So he run away into the woods. But he very very thirsty, and he stumble upon large body of water. The old man drink and drink. He keep drinking and notice he a young man now. So so young and so so handsome! He then finds new family and they let him speak. Later, he score 28 points to help Parth beat Ahsan. The end.

For those that don't know, Parth is a Broncos fan...

Yas vs Chris

Lastly, mother I dreadfully must give you the solemn news that Brother Christopher was killed. As you have quoted many times, and as it says in scripture, ‘’The soul who sins shall die.’’ - Ezekiel 18:20…Sadly that soul was our very affectionate, homosexual friend, Christopher. He was so naive to think that he could put his faith in a Bengals running back…I know mother dearest, it would hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. How he died you might ask? He entered his local gay saloon, which he frequents often, and he poked the fella next to him in his doublewide tight-end. Well, this fella was none too kind to all that ‘’gayshit’’, so he stood up, took his Kupp of beer and smashed him over the fucking head with it. Excuse my language. Chris died a slow death in the alley way, gasping for breath, just muttering his last words ‘’Goddammit Goedert’’ — us town folks still don’t know what the heck it means.

NAZIM RECAP FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK

• Predicted my score correctly of 99 in Week 3.

• Predicted Rimmel v Alex would be 87-117 in week 3. Actual final score: 82-117.

• Predicted Colten would be highest scorer, got 3rd highest.

• Sean has agreed to complete the song challenge for least points.

• Per BR, least points this week had to drink 12 oz. of cottage cheese mixed with apple cinnamon vinegar with soda and meat added in a blender.

• Ahsan loses after not changing his name – now it is changed, winning is coming.

• PARTH – CHANGE YOUR NAME!

• Chris makes a trade with Ahsan – has no impact on either team, would have lost either way.

• Disappointing week 1 players ALL did really well in week 3. The 8 players combined for about 150 points or 18.6 points/player with no one over 26 points misbalancing the total.

• Yaseer and Ali at 3-0 yet at 67% and 77% of making the playoffs per ESPN. Alex, Chris, and Kyriacos all over 80%. Ahsan, Sean, and Rimmel at the bottom with less than 12%.

• Yaseer leads the league in points scored by 9 points on the season. Colten has been scored on the most in the league for the season but by a 1-point margin over Ahsan and Sean.

• Veteran Leaders substantially outscored Young Guns in Week 3: 741-567. It is about even now through 3 weeks on the season between the 2 divisions.
