On to the finals!

As we head to the finals of the 2009 PCMFFL Enchilada Bown, it's time to get philosophical up in here.

Well we narrowly avoided a major controversy with Dale's Doormats failing to put in for their tie-breakers. FYI, in the past, the commish decreed that in such case, the default is the team QB, team K and team D. Now with the flexible rosters, that doesn't work so well, though it would have worked for Dale. Sometimes it comes down to knowing your personnel. Dale alertly put Michael Crabtree in the starting lineup, going on the theory of anyone cut by Electric Mayhem is likley to be worth picking up (but only after they're cut). However, Earl Grey Bennett had 11. Alternatively, Mendenhall would have provided the winning margin over either Grant or Addai (two other former Mayhemites). See how these things can get you in trouble? I'm reminded of the story where three women were in a locker room dressing to play golf when a man runs through wearing nothing but a bag over his head. The first woman looks at his weiner and says "Well it's not my husband." The second woman says "No, it isn't." And the third woman says, "He's not even a member of this club!" Thank you. I will be here all week.

Fish In a Barrell got off to a tremendous start for 2009, running out to a 9-2 start but have sputtered down the stretch. Red Bandits, on the other hand, started off 2-4 and have ripped off 8 wins in the last 9 weeks. Might have been Moses Solomon, the Rabbi of Swat, might have been somebody else. But a one of the all time greatest Jewish philosophers was asked if he believed in Free Will. His reply: "I have no choice!"

In Toilet Bowl News, the Gump-Brokerage Battle Royale turned into one for the ages. Brokerage would not trade Ahmad Bradshaw this year, but couldn't exactly play him every week either. Unfortunately, he would have easily provided the winning margin this week. Then again, so would Rock Cartwright. Makes you think you might be something like this guy:
My friend Mike called me the other day saying "I'm calling from Route 80 on my new cell phone." I told him "Be careful Mike, they just said on the radio that there's a nut driving the wrong way on the highway." He said "One nut? Hell, there are hundreds of 'em!" The Gumpsters rode Manning's 4 TD passes and Adrian Peterson's 16 points providing just enough to edge out Roethlisberger's 503 yards passing and 3 TDs.

And this slightly different take on the Golden Rule, courtesy of Pep & Cheez and Tony Soprano: "Whack the next guy with the same respect you'd like to be whacked with, y'know?" Yes, the team that sold off half its roster to get draft picks for next year picked up Jamaal Charles (22 points), Tim Hightower (9) and Maurice Morris (21 points) off the waiver wire / trade dump. And they're in the Toilet Bowl Championship against the Gumpsters.
