Catching Up

Posted on by Commish

My apologies for the missed post last week. Mrs. Commish recently had a milestone birthday and she wanted to celebrate it by spending a week in Charleston, SC. We had a great time, full of history, ghost tours, and lots and lots of good food. That’s our bag, baby. I could review everything we did and take up a lot of time, but I won’t because I know it won’t interest you. But I will share one picture. Especially on Halloween.

As I said, we took lots of ghost tours, we love them. If you don’t, that’s okay, I understand. But, a nighttime ghost tour of the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier exactly one week ago, ended up on the flight deck. Our tour guide, told us that shadow figures had been seen in the windows of the helm atop the ship. I took a photo with my phone and moved on, not thinking anything of it, nor seeing anything at the time. Later on, however, I was going through my photos and zoomed in on that singular photo of the helm and saw this …

Zoomed photo. Check out that middle window…

Don’t read too much into me including this. We just think it’s fun.

Less fun was the beating I took in the SPFL this week. To my own brother. Thanks to the shenanigans of my own Jerry Jones, making Rico Dowdle “sick” before the Sunday night game and giving me a useless zero in my lineup. Transactions changes may be a’comin next season …

Anyway, the Midgets continue to rule the roost, boasting a sterling 7-1 mark atop the Tommy Boy Division. The Auto Picks, Moops, and Lightning are all two games back at 5-3, while the dangerous Monkeys lurk at 4-4. The Brothers, (finding some life, but is it too late?) trail at 2-6. In the Matt Foley Division, the Bright 1s also enjoy a two game lead at 6-2, with the 4-4 Beasts and Heroes, waiting to pounce. The Corn at 3-5 are hanging around, while the Turtles (2-6) and Megatron (1-7) are not having dream seasons.

Again, to recap, our playoff seeding: the two division winners are the top two seeds and get a first round bye. They are seeded by H2H or total season points. The 3 and 4 seeds are the division runners up and they are seeded by H2H (if two); division record; then total season points. The 5 and 6 seeds are the two remaining squads with the highest number of points scored all season, regardless of record or standing. So … if the playoffs started today, it would be:

1. Midgets

2. Bright 1s

3. Auto Picks

4. Beauty & Beasts

5. Mayberry Moops

6. Greased Lightning

Midgets 122 — Moops 115: As mentioned earlier, the Midgets escaped with a victory thanks to Uncle Jerry, but led by Jalen Hurts (38) and Jahmyr Gibbs (23). The Moops were led by Kyren Williams (24) and JaMarr Chase (20).

Beauty 185 — Corn 114: Beauty and her beasts showed the league they were far from done, putting up big points, led by James Cook (30) and Mr. Swift (25). Another Mr. Swift by the name of D’Andre (22) led the Corn along with Kyler Murray (22).

Bright 1s 193 — Megatron 121: The Bright 1s cruised thanks to Cee Dee Lamb (39) and Devon Achane (27) while the Ghost scored some decent points in a losing effort, led by the backfield tandem of Josh Jacobs (28) and Jonathan Taylor (20).

Brothers 137 — Lightning 108: The Piranha gang picked up win #2, led by Rhamondre Stevenson (25) and Courtland Sutton (18), while the Lightning fell despite Khalil Shakir (20) and Zay Flowers (18) noble efforts.

Heroes 153 — Turtles 117: The Heroes piled up some good points, led by Joe Mixon (25) and Marvin Harrison Jr the Third (23) and the Turf Turtles relied on George Kittle (24) and Calvin Ridley (23).

Auto Picks 157 — Monkeys 102: This year’s most active owner resumed his winning ways thanks to Ladd McConkey’s 33 points and Bijan Robinson’s 24. The Monkeys had Trey McBride (21) and Cooper Kupp (16) and not a lot else in putting up the week’s lowest team score.

Next Week

That’s all for now, Happy Halloween and enjoy the games!
