WEEK FOURTEEN: I Still Suck

So, I my mouth makes a promise my butt can't cash. I distinctly said that I would be able to write a post this week. I missed last week and swore that I would be on the ball this week. Well, let me just give you a rundown of what happened since that last post.

• Friday - Pack for a weekend trip, pick up the kids, drive down to Tampa to see my mom and sister.
• Saturday - Spend the day with family. Games aren't played yet, anyway.
• Sunday - Drive back to Tallahassee. Pack my bags for my next trip. Watch maybe two minutes of football. Text a smack talk message to BadCounsel. Realize I had made a mistake. Try to backpeddle on my smack talk.
• Monday - Wake up to a flat tire. Get it fixed. Drive down to Orlando. Work on stuff for Defender whilst there. Go to bed.
• Tuesday - Spend nine hours writing. Get tired of being on the computer.
• Wednesday - Go to three meetings in Orlando. Drive all the way back. Feel rotten - hurting back and stomach. Go to bed early.
• Thursday - Finish up shopping, pick up kids, get stuff for party at Nat's school, write this whiny post.

So, there you have it. This is one of the first times I was even able to sit down and look at the SFL stuff to think about our post. Sure, I saw the results of the weekend. But I haven't been able to summon up some bologna to put on virtual paper. Here are some quick thoughts about the SFL playoffs.

• Hottest team in the SFL? Gator Greats. The team all but gave up about a two months ago. But then they went on a tear, winning five straight games and seven of nine. Their two losses were both by less than a point. The smallest win margin was 18 points. The average win was 29 points. And they beat Stickboy two weeks ago. AND, they beat Ferrets in both matchups this year (just looking forward to potential final game).
• Stickboy pulled in almost 100 points more than any other team. Quite simply, if they are running on all cylinders, they cannot be beat. Unless Gator Greats just keeps this insane fire going.
• Ugly Consequences has the potential to hang up an enormous number of points on people. But, somehow, they have lost both games to Bloodthirsty Ferrets. They didn't score 100 points in either game - the only two games they had under 100 points. Maybe the Ferrets are just in their head.
• Speaking of the Ferrets - they seem to be like the Cardinals last year. You almost scratch your head and wonder how the heck they got here, let alone finish 11-3. Their performances have never been very impressive, almost like Ohio State. But they don't inspire much confidence. Seriously, which quarterback is a sure fire start now? Big Ben or Brady? Are any of the receivers going to do diddly?
• Predictions: Stickboy 132, Gator Greats 141. Bloodthirsty Ferret 103, Ugly Consequences 131.
