Lanky's Weekly Re-cap from LLSN
High score of the week: WheresRickySanders? 152.82
Low score of the week: dwarves of Moria 63.20
Upsets: 2
The Fat Alberts 92.8 vs. Shanahanigans 109.08
(Lanky Livingston vs. Misterpinstripe)
So we here at LLSN were a little better with our predictions this week, which unfortunately meant that we correctly predicted our own downfall. What I would have never expected was for the Jets offense to wake up against the stout Miami defense! The DST gave the Alberts 1 measley point! That, coupled with an even worse day from Shiancoe and slow days from Andre Johnson and Matt Forte, spelled the end of the Fatties 2 game winning streak. Adrian Peterson said "what defense?" as he ran circles around the Lions, leading the way for the Shanahanigans.

Om Buds Man 85.34 vs. Chester Shooters 71.84
(Om vs. Goaldeje)
2-0 for LLSN so far! In a game full of Timex watches, Chris Johnson was a diamond-encrusted, 24 karat gold Rolex. At least doubling every other score except Mike Turner, Johnson led the Om Buds Men to victory over the Shooters, in a low-scoring affair. The Shooters now must look to regroup after almost having the low-score of the week for the second game in a row. Is there a big trade on the horizon?

newb-annihilation 121.24 vs. LSF 128.50
(Boone vs. Loyal Skins Fan)
The newbs are that team that is actually pretty decent, and puts up a lot of points, but just runs into a higher scoring opponent from week-to-week. The technical term for this in FF circles is $&#@%^&@*! syndrome. Don't worry Boone, FF players across the country share your pain - you are not alone. We here at LLSN also suffered a bit, as your loss cost us a perfect week in predicting the games. Austin Collie went bananas, Cedric Benson had a big day, and Breesus was Breestastic in LSF's win over the annihilators. Felix Jones was disappointing (hmm, curious), combined with a low-scoring day from DeAngelo Williams caused n-a to fall just short.

Absurd Philosophy 93.14 vs. WheresRickySanders? 152.82
(Sisyphus vs. honorary_hog)
Turns out this NASCAR-spewing, funny guy from West-Virginny knows a little something about fantasy football as well. For the second week in a row, WRS? rolled their opponent with ease as the top score for the week. This week's victim was Absurd Philosophy, who suffered a nearly 60-point beatdown. That's what happens when all but one of your players scores in double-digits, and all but two of those score more than 15 points. The Steelers' defense continues to put more points on the board than most of the Redskins' offense, Darren McFadden's coming out party continues, and Anquan Boldin went all Larry Fitzgerald on the Browns. Will WRS? continue to put up numbers like this from week to week? We shall see, but for now hog is enjoying the ride. In a drastic turn of events, Jahvid Best went from a hog-wild touchdown party last week to scoring some dreaded turf-toe, leaving the Philosophizers struggling to find a replacement.

beamish 100.64 vs. dwarves of Moria 63.20
(Sisyphus vs. beamish)
In the 4th-game correctly predicted by LLSN (not to toot our own horn, or anything like that) the headless dragon beamish bested dwarves of Moria by almost a 40-spot, the second largest margin of victory for the week. The dwarves' fans must be scratching their heads as to why they would leave Reggie Bush in the game, when he is possibly done for the year. I guess doM thought they got points for scoring with a Kardashian also. Bresus continues to look elsewhere than Colston, and the guy throwing Larry Fitz the ball still sucks, as doM's squad fell to 0-3.
