What a week one we had in the NEL. Let me start off congratulating this weeks Weekly High Challenge Winner, NY Cmen. Congrats, good matchup. See you in 12 weeks Greco. I really, didn’t see this happening at all. Not gonna lie. Thought Cmen was just ok. I guess he proved me wrong. Well, there still more football for Owner Greco to live up to the name…. Ok. He might actually get the weekly low this week, and balance out.
I would like to thank everyone that came out to the 1111 Dome this weekend. We laughed, we cried, we all watched Matza Balls’ team collapse in our very own eyes. We manage to get 150 text messages in a NEL group when more then 75% of the league was present in the 1111 Dome. I don’t get that? How is that even possible? Fucking Ryder.
Chanx Vs Matza Balls - What a non-exciting match-up between these two mega powers of fantasy football. MB and Chanx have become bitter enemies over the years, so it’s kinda sad that this match up didn’t live up to its hype. I was hoping both teams could have put up monster numbers and compete for the weekly high. But, both teams decided to draft players either in rehab, in contract disputes or shooting steroids in his ass (Hi Nikita). The NEL chat would feel pretty empty if these two teams didn’t have their little one word feuds towards each other. Well, Goldie doesn't talks for hours. Goldberg just keeps going and defending his case on how Bell will return to the Steelers and clean house”You’ll See”. While, Goldie writes paraphrase defending his case, Duke hits him with his ‘one phrase bombs’ like “Bell never gonna play” or “Goldie and Spiro together forever”…. Goldie was honorary Jets fan Monday night. His evil Jewish smile was getting larger and larger, when he saw Stafford throw 4 INTs. I could only imagine the amount of frustrations coming from the Chanx camp. I could hear Pete now. “Stafford!! You fucking IDIOT!”. At least this matchup has a chance to redeem itself in week 12. Congrats MB for your win. #cWo4Life
Ballas Loss in the Nick of Time VS DropTheBall - Because, Ballas Loss in the Nick of Time is kinda of annoying to write during these recaps i’m just gonna change his name to Conner. The Terrorist had so much joy watching the Steelers vs Browns game on Sunday in the 1111 Dome. Not cause his RB Conner put up 34.2 points. No. It was the fact Conner is gonna take Bell spot in the Steelers backfield. Conner playing this well does not help the Bell camp at al during his holdout. If Conner plays another game like last weekend, we probably won’t see Bell at all this year. DropTheBall had a lot of bad luck with his TE Greg Olsen hurting his foot and placed on the IR. Well, this is good news in a sense. Now DropTheBall can use our new feature the ‘IR Slot’. Congrats to Conner on the win.
BX Ballbusters VS The TosoLocos - CRIPPLE FIGHT! We all hate the cripple fight. Both these teams should of lost however, one had to be victorious. With, Freeman and Fournette coming out of the game with injuries, it hurts both teams pretty bad. Fournette was TosoLocos very first pick (insert laughter here). I wouldn’t be shocked if Toso gets rid of Prater this week. Missing two field goals! Toso could have won the game with one of those kicks. Bronx Ballbusters, won without any of his players scoring 20 points. With the most points Triple B got was from his defense/Special Teams, which was 19 points. Damn, what really upsets me about this matchup is the teams like myself and JetsFANNYpd lost putting up numbers over 150 points. Ballbuster wins by barley scoring 100 points. Well, that’s Fantasy football for you. Congrats Triple B for his win
JetsfanNYPD vs The Spankers - First off. Amari Cooper sucks. I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 1/2 in pole. He’s a wide receiver that can’t receive. The Spankers knew how bad Cooper was having him last season. JetsFan should really think about getting rid of Cooper and fast. Sell! Sell! Sell! Cooper was the reason for Jetsfannypd loss. The three time champ has a good chance on making the playoffs this year. The only thing that holding his team back is that bum Cooper. Spankers doing very well in all his positions besides in the flex department. Lucky, for the Spankers they have a power arsenal in his bench to replace those players… I feel your pain Jetsfannypd on your loss this week. Congrats to the Spankers for their win this week.
KOLOtripa vs Ryde or Die - Ryde or Die! Ryde or Die! Ryde or Die! What a joke of a champion. ROD from first to worst, scoring the least points the National Ella League this week. Five players on ROD scored only in the single digits. From a team that just had a terrible draft, KOLOtripa rebound this weekend. Losing his 3rd round pick do to an Injury in preseason practice. The now solo owner KOLOtripa blew out the current chump in their matchup. Ballas, has made me proud. He’s been talking his shit again and he’s been participating a lot as well. We thought we have lost Nikita a few years back. Now that he’s riding solo again, he’s back with a vengeance. We thought his 4th round pick Aaron Rodgers had a season ending injury when he got carted off the field. Ballas legit left the chat and started to bitch and moan about his team to me. Then Rodgers came back and put on a clinic. Then Nikita started giving us his stupid smile again. This weekend we get to see Nikita in a gay competition, with his tiny shorts… Oh wait what? It’s not a gay competition? It’s a squatting competition? Whats the difference. Support your fellow NELer this weekend and watch him on the app that Nikita send us in the group chat. Good luck Nikita and congrats on your win this week.
Sparta United vs NY C-Men - The ok team is trying it’s hardest to lose the name of being just ok, with this week picking Sparta United apart and winning the weekly high challenge. Team Owner Greco, wants to prove everyone wrong about his team, including his life mate George. I can only imagine how bad it would have been if it was them two playing each other last week. Coming down to digits for the weekly high. Im sure if it was Conner or Cmen in week one solo cups would have been flying, phones would be thrown and Chris would be mumbling something in the corner that know one would understand. I think we were screwed in the fantasy world not having these two play each other. I think I got screwed playing greco too in week one. Fuck this league, they didn't let me rig it this year. Come on Man! Cobb and Brees went on a straight tare this week. Cobb looks like he will be the lead now that Jordy Nelson is no longer in Green Bay. Congrats Greco again. ‘AAAYYY HERE COMES THE ROOSTER! ‘ By Alice and Chains listen to its a Grecos song of the year.
Weekly Paper Bag of Shame - Ryde Or Die from first to worst. He was so embarrassed he didn’t even show up on Sunday during the games. How can the champ not show up to an NEL event twice! He was at the rule meeting and he wasn't' there for week one. Bum Straight up bum.
Weekly Come On Moment - Goldie not scrambling to trade for RB1 or 2. Bell does not seem to be coming back soon and he’s relying on McCoy to be his lead back till Bell return. COME ON MAN! You’re smarter than that. Didn’t McCoy beat his wife and kids or something? We should call MB Israeli Prison instead of Matza Balls. Thank Abraham for Goldie’s lawyer.
What to look forward for in Week Two - The Classic Anemodouras Bowl is back! Also the Conner Bowl will be held this week with George vs Goldie. Will Conner do what he did last week? Or will the Steelers run to Bell’s house and give him his contract after a terrible Conner game? We will find out this weekend.
Good luck everyone and my the Ella be with you.
