PHB Week 10 Running Diary
Welcome to the Takes Ladies and Gentleman. Today we got a bit of a switch up. Lots of stuff happening in the league these days, so lets break it down. I will run you through my Redzone day. It is super interesting. We have recaps, consistency ranks, an interview with Kyle, and much more. King of the Hill is down to the final week, and the playoffs are getting closer. Lets go.
12:00 - Redzone music stops, and the machine like sounds of the Redzone loads. It is an important time in a young man's life to sit and reflect about the freedoms you are afforded to be able to do nothing for 7 hours straight. I let Elaine out to pee so I don't have to do it later, and make sure Abby is aware she is the one dealing with everything today. I put Merkts in the mini crockpot to eat with everything bagel pretzels. As Ice Cube once said " Today was a good day"
12:01 - 7 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS COMMERCIAL FREE FOOTBALL
12:04 - Lamar Jackson has 7 points already. (Lamar was a baller this week. He put up 35 points in total this week leading Kyle to a 60 point win over Tidwell. Hate to say it, but I think this loss puts Tidwell officially out of the playoff hunt unless something wacky happens)
12:08 - Jordan checks his app for the first time since making his roster moves at 8 AM. He realizes he dropped Jimmy Graham for the Jets D, and then completely forgot to start the Jets D, who was replacing the Pats on bye. In retrospect, it didn't matter. JB beat Jordan by about 90 or so. Christian Kirk finally had a ball game, but he was on the bench. Freeman got hurt and should miss some weeks. Not a good week for JPH
12:21 - Kyle is up 34-5 right now. (Kyle ended up winning as mentioned, but that is secondary. This week is the week that Kyle fulfilled his destiny. It took until 11/9/2019, but it finnaly happened : Kyle got sucked in by Derrick Henry. Call Kyle the conductor, cause he is riding the Henry Train. In all honesty though, Henry has been solid as hell all season. He has only been under 10 twice, and is currently RB 4
12:24 - JB has 60 points after 23 minutes. (JB made trades at the deadline this week for Tyreek Hill and Mark Andrews. They immediately paid off, with a combined 50 points between them. With three points, JB moves into first place in the league, and is trending up)
12:40 - Lets check in on the Bears. I legit flipped Redzone to CBS. I shit you not, the graphic that popped up 5 seconds after I turned on said that The Bears had 22 yards. This was 40 yards in to the game.
1:01 - Hmmmm.... Have not seen the Bears on Redzone in a while, lets check in on CBS.... Oh Cool, Tony Romo and Jim Nantz that is a good booth.... Oh cool, another graphic popping up, lets see what this one says. Oh, it says the Bears are punting for the 10th consecutive drive in the first half. Cool.
1:50 - Lamar Jackson just hit a sick spin move on a like 50 yard TD run. This dude is good... Alright, lets see how my score is going
Seems like a good time to mention that Kevin Kostner won a Razzie for the movie The Postman. This weeks interview is with Kyle. Now that is a segue. Kyle is a connoisseur of all things good and decent. As usual, there are brainbusting questions - lets see how Mr. Stone handles the pressure
Jordan: Fries - rank them : curly, julienne, steak, wedge, waffle,sweet potato....
Kyle: curlies, waffle, julienne, steak, wedges,sweet potato (the Michelob ultra of fries)
Jordan : Favorite movie from the following actors - Kevin Costner, Robin Williams, Seth Rogen, and Tom Hanks
Kyle: Kevin Costner - Water World. Just kidding, I dont like garbage. I guess Untouchables which isnt that great. Looking at his movie list I guess i am not a Costner Head (TM Kyle Stone 2019).... Robin Williams - Insomnia.... Tom Hanks - Catch me if you Can... Seth Rogen - Superbad.
Jordan: Clone one NFL player to play all 22 positions on a tean
Kyle: I would have said Cam Newton, but now its gotta be Lamar Jackson
Jordan: Favorite athletes that were not on your teams growing up
Kyle : Barry Sanders, Shawn Kemp, Greg Maddux, Pedro
2:28 - Falcons are putting it on the Saints now, in what has to be one of the weirdest games of the season. (Kamara did not give much to Nolan, who ended up beating Micah in a good matchup. Micah has Aaron Jones who is killing it, and had a good game. Joe could have kept Aaron Jones. ) Kenny G is gonna need Stafford to come back cause this Jeff Driskus guy is pretty bad
3:02 - These are the current scores. Jordan is losing by 75... George and Peter are at 19-23... This is getting boring. I am gonna make some Ramen.
George eventually got his shit together and ended up with about 100 points, and a win over Peter. Ol Petey Long Dong only managed to score 48 points, which is only 10 more points than the lowest point total of all time. (Camera zooms in on Peter. "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind fades in the background. Peter is by the window, sad. He looks rugged, worn down by life's pressures. He lights a cigarette, but not in a positive way. In an "Irishman after a funeral reception" way. Peter opens his coat breast pocket. He digs. What is he digging for? Some say acceptance, some say purpose. He pulls out a picture of Andrew Luck. Folds it up, and tosses it from the window. Peter is clean. Peter is reborn. Peter is ready for next season.)
Mike has Mahomes rolling rolling rolling rolling (CMON) and is back to being a threat each week. He beats Nick by about 40. Nick gets 40 points from Daniel Jones, who is going to be an outstanding keeper to pair with TJ Hockenson and Kerryon Johnson. Great 3 guys to have. I would stick with those dudes... Looks like Beej is done here, but he went out with a bang giving Joe a bit off the leaky butt this weekend in a close game until the end. Joe is still alive friends. I like his team moving forward too. Give me all the Joe stock. If this were a political election, you would get my endorsement....
Week 11 preview - Kyle and Jordan is the game of the week.... Joe Mike and JB should hold serve against teams down the rankings....Johnny Fake Chow is looking to box out Tidwell, and mathematically eliminate him.... George and Micah is an interesting matchup. And I mean, what a couple of real mensches these two are. I am rooting for a tie personally, because I cant stand to see one of my two good buddies down in the dumps. But I mean, if I had to pick, I guess Id say George.
King of the Hill - Georgey Porgey Puddin Pie. Scored 97 points and says goodbye. George is Eliminated. This means next week is Joe and Nolan for the King of the Hill Trophy (Note: There is no trophy)
