Fabber’s Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, Big Ben, 90’s Music and More
My reviews take two! Thank you so much for the great response to this column. That means it’s here to stay for now at least.
Anyone else notice how bad play calling is this year? How many times have we seen first and goal on the two yard line followed by three pass plays in a row? It is ridiculous and really throwing a kink in fantasy football owners everywhere. Football is losing its toughness a little at a time.
That’s why Big Ben having that kind of career day is perfect. He is a tough quarterback. He plays banged up. Ben takes hits and doesn’t complain about the offensive line. He’s an old school quarterback in a new school game.
Off the field he might deserve a good kick in the nuts but on the field he is a professional. I got to give him his due.
Let’s get to it!
Thumbs Up
– The amount of points scored on Sunday alone: 647 points. That’s the kind of football most fans want to see.
– Antonio Brown is playing like the best receiver in the game.
– Finally healthy, the Steelers offense looks like it could score 30 a game.
– Give Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley some credit because most of you guys (never me) said he was a waste and should be fired.
– Ben Roethlisberger was five points away from tying the best fantasy output by a quarterback (Mike Vick, 49).
– Roethlisberger is eighth on the all-time highest single game fantasy points for a quarterback.
– We had a real Drew Brees sighting Sunday night and it was as glorious as I can remember.
– The older I get the more I appreciate the music from the 90s.
– Brandon LaFell needs to be owned but not consistent enough to be an every week starter.
– He is starting to have some worth, truly shocking.
– The table Pac Man game is one of the most underrated games of all time. Battling the other classics, give it its due!
– Tom Brady looks like he is back to compete for the best quarterback in the league, didn’t think I would say that a couple weeks ago.
– Chris Ivory has to be a special kind of good the way he’s played on a horrible Jets team. Really, think about it.
– Panthers defense breaking the streak of getting embarrassed, they only gave up one touchdown. Unfortunately it was not good enough for the win.
– Oakland fans for still believing (that’s for you Tommy).
– Dolphins defense has looked the part. Let’s see if they can do that versus even better teams.
– Warm chocolate chip cookies, I mean after that you know heaven is real.
– Kris Kross will make you……
– Everyone finished that line without me having to.
– Weeden looked good, should have kept him in!
– Colt McCoy getting the win in Texas, that was cool.
– “Ice, Ice Baby” and “U Can’t Touch This” are on the soundtrack of my life.
– Gronk is Gronk again.
– Kyle Orton, four touchdowns, I didn’t call that.
– Seriously make your soundtrack to your life, it’s fun and tells an extreme amount about you. Let me know what songs you picked.
Thumbs Down
– Referees messing up the review. Sorry Washington fans but that was a fumble. He pinned it to his shoulder pad, blah blah blah lies!
– Romo going back into the game ruined Weeden’s night.
– Rams just losing bodies to injury left and right. They need a new training staff, seriously.
– Everyone who thought Vereen was a fantasy “stud.”
– ICP and that damn root beer they sprayed on me.
– The Colts defense, made me think Ben was really Peyton.
– Warm Coronas, seriously I am not sure you can get worse.
– Cam Newton with FIVE POINTS, really?! He isn’t only killing the Panthers hope but all the owners that play his waste of space candy bottom.
– All the owners of Calvin Johnson. Dude it’s an ankle, you’re acting like you lost your leg. Get on the field!
– Kyle Orton mustache, really creepy. I bet he likes vans with back window shades and milk duds.
– Atlanta is still soft.
– Geno Smith, three interceptions in the first quarter. He deserved the bench and a locker room meeting.
– Mike Vick doing three more turnovers in the next three quarters. Come on guys.
– Guys that do not dress up for Halloween parties, like come on bro. It’s not a sign of toughness or coolness, just the opposite.
– Celebrations that end on injured reserve. This is karma saying stop being a prick.
– Romo’s back, either way you take that is bad.
– Montee Ball’s fantasy value: right, I didn’t think it could get worse either but it is.
– Every dance after the electric slide, stop copying!
– Can we make Justin Beiber a symbol like Prince so I can stop hearing his name.
– People who tell you how to do interpret dance and interpreting quotes.
– Zac Stacy is done.
– If you own Doug Martin hope he is traded because if not he will be joining the done list.
– Matt Ryan’s promise of being a big fantasy quarterback again. That line will be the death of him and Coach Smith’s career.
– The Game Genie, that is cheating people!
– Forgetting about a fantasy league you are in till week 9, whoops!
