Week 4. Each recap this season has started with “week” followed by the number week it
is. Far be it from me to break the trend. Feels good to be addressing the league again
after my inaugural season concluding email from atop the podium. Yes, I still hate the
Cow(boy)s. No, I still haven’t played a single Cows player in any week of any season.
Go motherfuckin birds.

Highest Scorer: Beaver Blitz (165.48 points)

Beaver Blitz logged on to submit a lineup Sunday morning and appears Woke Up and
Chose Violence (Honorable mention this week). Despite playing Caleb “Throw a Pick in
the Endzone” Williams, they managed to put up an impressive 165 points. Turns out
Puka Nacua is pretty good. It also helps to have the literal fused King of the Gods on
your team. Then again, maybe it’s worth saving that kind of firepower for later. Not a
bad showing from the Detroit Lions defense either, but I bet Ward and Peace is glad it
wasn’t close enough that the Lions D/ST made a difference. Imagine losing an entire
week because a D/ST puts up 32 points. Wow what a fun position!

Biggest Blowout: The Los Angeles ICE-melters vs. Oodles of Noodles (77.48 points)

Now I’m not going to call this game rigged (or insinuate that the commissioner abused
his power and wealth to get an easy win here), but let’s look at some eyebrow raisers
on Oodles of Noodles. Zack Moss: Not rostered on a professional football team. Scary
Terry: Not so scary at all when he’s sitting on the bench the entire game. Jason
Sanders: On injury reserve. [The rest of this section has been redacted for not

Closest Call: Zurich Fins vs. Scrantonicity 7 (1.56 points)

Double commissioner featured week! That’s what I’m talking about. However,
commissioner-managed Scrantonicity 7 failed to find another couple points in what was
a solid all-around effort from both teams. We’d have to get into some historical data
here, but I bet this is one of the highest scoring matchup totals where both QBs didn’t
reach 15 points. In other news, crazy that Omarion Hampton and Quentin Johnston
combined for over 50 points and still lost to the Giants.

Best Find: Puka Nacua (36 points)

Four teams found Puka Nacua this week (Kingpins of Crime, Beaver Blitz, TheNuke,
WinnersWin). Nacua found 170 yards and a touchdown to take the Rams past Indiana
Jones in the state of Indiana’s biggest loss since the Pacers got publicly humiliated in
Game 7 of the NBA Finals this year (RIP The Haliban). Sad!

Biggest Bust: Anyone on Cincinnati

Jake Browning: not good! Anyone on the Bengals offense without Joe Burrow: also not
good! Yikes.

I’m not feeling particularly chatty right now, so I’ll simply leave you with a best of luck,
until next time, and please stop submitting defenses into your lineups.
