I'm guessing it is, because Wisconsin is hell and hell must have frozen over...James Alexander Dinsmore the First of Madison, Wisconsin, USA finished atop the standings in this week's JLMP Fantasy Football contest. I know, I know...you all probably need a few moments to let this momentous news sink in. An injury and a thievery led the way, but a win is a win. An even more shocking development would be the play of James' wide receivers. Led by his copycat choice of Dwayne Bowe, JDinz's wideouts produced a week high 26 points (Bowe - 14, Obo - 5, Brown - 7). It was his backfield however which made the difference as he lapped the field: James 101, Matt 83, Phil 78, Larry 70. D.J. Shockley's roller coaster play was on an upswing as he was the week's high scorer with 32. Kenny Irons notched 18 points subbing for an injured Brad Lester (who only got me 3...I hate Brad Lester's groin) and Thomas Brown of Georgia racked up 10 points.
Larry has apparently begun channeling James when choosing his wide receivers. His pathetic trio of pass catchers (or alleged pass catchers) combined for a woeful 9 points - Obo 5, Doucet 2, Jackson 2. Larry screwed the pooch with Leak at QB as well. Apparently he didn't get the memo that Meyer's "light in the loafers" offensive scheme doesn't work against SEC defenses. He made up for those picks though, with his RBs. Darby and Addai totaled 41 points - the best for any RB tandem this week.
Phil is holding steady, waiting for his breakout week. Of the runners up, he had the highest total backfield score (Croyle 13, Darby 17, Irons 18) and had the best off the wall pick, UGA's Bryan McClendon (11 points). Unfortunately it wasn't enough for a second place finish.
I played bridesmaid yet again (do I get a dress out of this at least?) with James' jinx coming back to haunt me. He was 100% right in chastising me for picking an Auburn opponent, in this case Marcus Monk. Monk registered only one catch for 18 yards. I was also bedeviled by Lester's groin. But such is life. You have to be able to shake off injuries and bad mojo to win a league as competitive as JKLMNOP. And I just wasn't up to it this week. But I'm gonna practice hard this week, learn from my mistakes, take it one game at a time, and really try to make some improvement. If I make any mistakes they're gonna be at full speed and they're gonna be "effort" mistakes. Sorry...I was just trying out my coach-speak.
Florida is off this week, so you can't pick Chris Leak Larry.

I think we need to chart the weekly statistics so far this year with jklmnop. I will have the largest variance by far, being that I am the current co-leader with three wins. During my non-winning weeks I think I have been last everytime. James, can you get your class to do this?
Do we all get to hear "The rest of the story?" Mr. Harvey?
One of James' former "girlfriends" from college? How did he find a 10 year old inflatable doll?
Ironic sidenote: my password to post this comment is dinnzpu...as in dinnz punani.
unbelievable. old college girlfriend......dinnzpu classic
Where to begin? Boner, you have a long way to go to being the bridesmaid, after four 2nd place finishes, I finally broke through for a victory. I don't have the point totals for each week (Boner, do you keep these), but so far I have the following:
LTL: 1st-3, 2nd-0, 3rd-1, 4th-3
Boner: 1st-3, 2nd-1, 3rd-2, 4th-1
JDinz: 1st-1, 2nd-4, 3rd-2, 4th-0
Fil: 1st-seriously, c'mon, 2nd-2, 3rd-2, 4th-1
I think these numbers speak for themselves...2nd place is the 1st Loser.
As for the rest of the story, I think you're referring to Amy Glasgow, who was actually a real person. Flint?? Not sure, maybe her boyfriend before me. If we need side notes to the story we could bring up Fil's connection to the aformentioned exgirlfriend. Now you've peaked my interest. Let's hear it.
