Since Turkey Day games start at 12:30 on Thursday, I have decided to recap week 11 and preview week 12 all in one big post... I know you all just got a tad more excited than usual... brace yourselves...
So let's get crackin and RECAP Week 11....
Most macthups consisted of high scores this past week, and the one that sticks out like a sore thumb (BTW, I have never pointed out a sore thumb in my time, so I very much dislike the saying but I'll use it anyway) to me is that the Alaska Ice Bashers, that last place team that averages 80 points/week scored 165 BIG ones. Now that seems impossible for them even to reach in their wildest dreams... but it indeed did happen... as funny of a joke it may sound like. BUT it is no joke for Wallys Warrios who might as well stop trying to kick the crap outta something because he keeps swinging and missing badly... now on a 3 game losing streak.
How bout that extra point to get One Man Wolfpack a HUGE win over Viva? Yeah... I would write threatening letters to Mike Prater if that happened to me too... make sure you don't leave a return address though, Viva... just an FYI.
A team clinched this week... yay for DIRTY HARRY... we are all so proud that you will MOST LIKELY be representing the first seed in the playoffs... call that a one and done for their first time.
Bear Pascoes won big over Shake... such a hard deed. I would love to read a poem about them finishing 9th and JUST missing the 2nd round of the playoffs (b/c the 1 seed will lose to the 8... just in case you didn't pick up that last comment I made... for you noobs).
Shake, Bashers and GR!!! all 4-7... pretty much all she wrote... I hope you all had fun because that's what matters most.............. but then again this isn't Conover Elementary School where their motto is, "If you had FUN, you WON."...... far from the truth. At least you get to read the View on a twice a week basis throughout the playoffs.
9 total teams either 6-5 or 5-6.... still a cluster fudge but that shall BURST this upcoming week....
Which will lead me into the WEEK 12 PREVIEW... my public speaking teacher would be proud of my solid transition.
Kinda feels weird doing a 2 for 1... but this is the last time I will have to do it until NEXT Thanksgiving, so enjoy.... and it's not like I plan my writing and come up with stats of the week and those interesting key notes and all that jazz prior to writing... not pointing any fingers...
One Man Wolfpack v. Bear Pascoes: 6/8 matchup that has a lot of meaning behind it. The Pascoes are the best of the 5-6's and a win this week will give them a solid shot at the playoffs since their scoring is on steroids. One Man is very inconsistent... very lucky and very unlucky at the same time. With that said, I'm taking the Pascoes by 10+... this totally ruins my 9th place poem hopes but they don't have any top 3 finishes so no worries there...
Giants Rule!!! v. Shake N' Bake: 4-7 vs. 4-7... 13 vs. 12... why am I talking about this matchup 2nd?... because I want to get it over with... the game means squat (another stupid saying) and the winner will get false hope for any shot at making the postseason... so this is the Pillow Fight of the Week... so whoever breaks a nail first will lose and both teams will stay in the bottom 3... GR!!! by a couple.
DIRTY HARRY v. red moon cards: 1/7 matchup... and I am still stunned that the cards are 6-5... what in tarnation is going on in this league? 3 game winning streak will END against the first place DIRTY... who I think is worse than their record but who am I to sip the Haterade?... they can have the #1 seed... enjoy that one. This loss will put the cards in a bad spot because of their points... so good luck.... in another league next year.
Altoona Giants v. Alaska Ice Bashers: I gotta say I am VERY confident that the Ice Bashers will not put up 165 EVER AGAIN... and that's a promise. They scored 100 more points last week than they did in week 2 where they scored 65... talk about ranges. This is a battle of cousins... where I guess you can say I'm the home team because they are literally coming over for Thanksgiving... so home field advantage... how cute... but even if my team played in Alaska with no warm clothes on and blind folded... I would still rock the casbah (only my older crowd would get that one). I could really regret my 25+ point win prediction but I'm 96.3% sure I won't... the turkey will taste THAT much sweater for Altoona (eating leftovers after the Sunday games).
Wallys Warriors v. CrazyFools: Wallys is on a tough 3 game losing streak sitting in 10th place currently... pretty obvious they need a win NOW. BUT the CF have been hot lately despite a close loss last week so they will git r done and cripple the senior citizens' playoff hopes... (I didn't mean that in a way of making fun of old men at first but now I think it's pretty clever... but hopefully not literally... just the sophmore slump meaning).
Da Mounts v. Mean Machine: The 11th place Machine are really hurting with injuries this week... believe me I have gotten an ear full about every little thing wrong with their players already and it's only Tuesday... so this loss to the Da Mounts may also put the cabosh on another senior cit. BUT I see this game being a toss up... a low scoring game but Da Mounts gets it by 4+.
NITTANY LIONS v. Viva Espana (minus the Spanish accent): The commish at #2 pretty much already clinched so this game is only HUGE for the 9th place Viva who is currently 5-6. They will beat the mighty LIONS by 10+ and will be sitting pretty for a playoff spot... BUT a loss could really hurt being 5-7 with one week to go...
To sum it all up... this week will be bonkers, the standings will change drastically and it shall be a hell of a Thanksgiving week of Football. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy your time with the families, be safe and god bless. (Yes, even the Altoona View has a warm side).
--------
Be sure to come back NEXT Tuesday the 30th...(I know you all with be going through withdrawal but try to manage)... for the WEEK 12 RECAP.

Week 11 previeW
It is week 11, only 3 more weeks to jockey into position for the playoffs... if this was horse racing, the Alaska Ice Bashers would be that horse that throws off their jockey at the starting gate and just runs way behind the pack. The rest of the race is a tight one... it shall be a very exciting home stretch...
Time to preview these games... I miss gambling on horses if you haven't noticed...
Bear Pascoes v. Shake N' Bake: Both 4-6 teams... the winner will bury the losers' grave as a 4-7 record will not cut it for the playoffs. Both squads are on a combined 5 game losing streak. I can't believe I held out to the 3rd sentence to mention the Hedge's new name. Sine the real Madison Hedgecock isn't playing this week, this team decides to rename it after the backup. This is a recipe for a 4 game losing streak... good bye Pascoes...
DIRTY HARRY v. Crazy Fools: #1/#3 matchup... the G.O.T.W that the commish is getting wet about. Two words... Mike Vick... Dirty must be having restless sleeps and the cold shivers at 3 a.m. A team that we don't want to see hot at this time of the year will only catch more fire (not his hair)... I see a blowout for the CF.... and the new #1 at weeks end.
One Man Wolfpack v. ~~~ Spanish: Two 5-5 teams... I see One Man in a low scoring result... Kerry Collins is my boy but he's not the answer, Viva. BUT maybe next Thursday One Man will lose after stat corrections... you seem to be good at that.
Altoona Giants v. Mean Machine: Another big 5-5 matchup. But more importantly, this is a father/amazing son matchup. Henry Winkler is in Altoona tonight for some speech that I won't be attending so instead I made him my team picture of when he was the "Fonz" back in his Happy Days, days. The Fonz kills all, esp. Paul Crewe and the Soft Machine. Altoona by 10+.
Wallys WarriorZZZZ v. Alaska Ice Bashers: Wallys has the matchup of his dreams right in time... a 5-5 team in the cluster looking to stay up in the standings. The only chance the Bashers have is if Manning has 50 points, but that would probably only bring his total to 62. So.... Wallys in a 20+ win... and this is the somebody he will finally be able to "kick the crap outta."
NITTANY LIONS v. Da MountZZZZ: A spot that the Mounts are not use to being in... 7th place on a 3 game losing streak with 3 weeks left. The commish somehow is at #2. This will be a high scoring affair... and I see the LIONS winning by at least 5... this will not only help me and the other 5-5's, but it will be 4 in a row for the Mounts and MAYBE just MAYBE they won't have the legs to make the playoffs... but he may be that horse with a hell of a closing kick... we shall see.
GiantZZZ Rule v. red moon cards: Notice how I did all the ZZZZ's in a row... cute, I know. GR!!! is one of the three 4-6's at this point and a loss will most likely result in packing it up early and hitting the golf links with the Hedgecocks... or the Bear Pascoes... whatever. I still am stunned that the red moon cards are 5-5.... thanks One Man Wolf. The result of this game will be stunning however it unfolds. A team that was 0-4 could be 5-6 OR the cards could win their 6th game out of their last 7.... WOW. This is a toss up... I'll take the GR!!! because red moon has a guy on the IR starting at RB... lame.

There's your preview... good luck and I will see you all on TUESDAY for the WEEK 11 RECAP.

Week 10 over and out
This season continues to get crazier week after week.... 7 teams with a 5-5 record.... holy schnikes.
One team jumping with joy after last night's performance is CrazyFools. Mike Vick was 19 points short of beating the Alaska Ice Bashers total FINAL score. I bet Wallys is gonna kick the crap out of himself for trading that guy away... maybe that will get ya back on track.
Speaking of which, Mean Machine is the first ever victor of the Senior Bowl presented by AARP. They were awarded this trophy....
(If they tease you about your age, beat them with your cane)
and a personalized Hoverround Powerchair. Both these teams are only 2 of the 7 teams in the 5-5 cluster fudge.
All hail the commish AGAIN... the NITTANY LIONS won it in a close battle that came down to the very end over yours truly. This snaps Altoona's 3 game winning streak and is now the 2nd best of the seven 5-5 teams. Those 2 shiny rings that the commish flashed were obviously too much for my squad to handle.
Now DIRTY HARRY and the LIONS are 1/2 with a 7-3 record (disrespectively). This means both teams have clinched (not technically, but pretty obvi) so therefore every other team in the league are their biggest fans of these teams to KEEP winning... do us proud... until the playoffs.
Three 4-6 teams with three weeks left = crapping your pants PANIC mode. BUT one win will grant you access to the 5-6 cluster fudge... BUT a loss... you guessed it... shit out of luck.
How bout them Hedges? Three losses in a row = NO POEMS........ my eyes haven't bled in a few weeks... I'm sure you all miss them as well.
red moon cards is 5-5.... redic... I know. He doesn't even have 90 points more than the last place Bashers (3-7)... who is the ONLY team under 1,000..... lets all point and giggle.
-------
That is all for this week.... be sure to come back THURSDAY night for the WEEK 11 PREVIEW... some very very intriguing games to cover ...

Week 10 preview
The start of Thursday games tonight is throwing off my whole schedule... but the good thing is you all get to read my nice and conservative writing a day earlier... life is great.
We got some block buster type games this week so here we go....
Oh and yeah I ate the McRib.... it was mediocre... ok....
Altoona Giants v. NITTANY LIONS: What is there not to say about this rivalry matchup? We love each other oh so much, we root for each other every week, we are a shoulder to cry on when one of us is on a bad losing streak or getting picked on through mean poems. Ok enough with the Nickelodeon jazz... this game is huge... especially this year. #2 vs. #3, the taller one vs. the shorter one, the blog that people actually read vs. the powderpuff weekly notes, it's the Altoona Giants vs. the NITTANY LIONS... hide yo wife, hide yo kids.. blah blah blah. I see a very high scoring affair coming down to the Monday Night game... and I shall take this by a few points and extend my winning streak to 4 games. I applaud the commish for making our matchup the G.O.T.W, but there will no soup for you!
Giants Rule!!!!!! v. CrazyFools: Very interesting 5/12 matchup where the teams are only one win apart. If this were the NCAA bball tourney, I would give the 12 seed the nod, but this is fantasy football... duh. A win would give the GR!!! a great shot at the playoffs but he's got a weak lineup this week so the CF will climb up in the standings after a 15+ point victory.
Shake N' Bake v. One Man Wolfpack: By far the most intriguing game of the week... this blows away the Altoona/NITTANY matchup... na just pulling your leg... (ha ha). This is a very weak matchup... a team that lost by stat corrections today to a bottom feeder and another team that is in a comma 78% of the time. This is a toss up but I'm giving the edge to One Man who will be looking for a huge rebound win.
Wallys Warriors v. Mean Machine: THE SENIOR CITIZEN BOWL Presented by AARP: This matchup consists of two ex baseball coaches who sat in the dugout together for many years... well Wallys was taking pictures of pretty birds and Mean Machine was mad at his son for being so perfect... ah the good old days. The 120 years between the two (I'm probably not exaggerating) will shape up to be a great matchup. The Machine are in DESPERATE need of a win... 4 losses in a row... in 10th place... right ahead of Shake N' Bake. Wally's is in 4th but just like many other games... only 1 win is the difference b/w (between... I almost forgot this was the old man matchup) these two. Machine has a stacked lineup this week and I see them getting a much needed win... BUT a loss will make it 5 in a row and pretty much shit out of luck.... no pressure.
Madison Hedgecocks v. red moon cards: Lucky lucky lucky lucky... LUCKY win by the cards today through stat corrections. No dice this week because Langston Hughes (I ran out of poet names) will blow this team out of the water and the Hedges will be .500 and right in the thick of things... but maybe if red moon has a full lineup... nah forget that.
DIRTY HARRY v. Alaska Ice Bashers: #1 vs. #14. The last time a 1/14 went head to head the commish went down to the GR!!! But this is a different story... Alaska is the only 3 win team left and DIRTY has been exactly what his name says up to this point. Even weaker roster than usual for the Bashers will result in a 30+ point loss. R.I.P. Bashers... Dirty will remain in first.
Da Mounts v. Viva ~~~~: 6/8 matchup... both strong teams. I see Viva taking this one and making 5-5 the majority of the cluster f***.
--------
That is all... just a reminder, the preview will be out around this time every THURSDAY until the end of the Thursday games. Come back TUESDAY for the RECAP of week 10,

Week 9 reeecap
9 weeks down... 4 to go... and it looks as if only 2 teams are done at this point.
The Pillow Fight of the Year was a complete blowout... talk about an embarrassment for the one and only Alaska Ice Bashers... 71 points. Now in dead last with the fewest points in the league I hearby declare the 3-6 Bashers S.O.L (shit out of luck... for you seniors who don't know abbreviations). Maybe they will get another win before years end but even if they don't who honestly thought they would win 3 times? I feel bad for whoever lost to this minor league team... I have yet to face them but I'm not worried. Tedy Brusci would have helped that defense out for sure.
All hail the commish... thy won their very own G.O.T.W.... but you better make this weeks matchup against Altoona the feature or else.... but that's for the preview... I'm getting ahead of myself... I'm a tad gitty about that matchup with the one and only. Wallys put up the 2nd most points this week but no dice... I mean it must make you want to punch a pillow... or somethin' furry that a team won with 100 points.
Speaking of winning with 100 points... One Man Wolfpack is the luckiest S.O.B. of the week. red moon started not 1, not 2, but THREE INJURED guys and ONLY lost by 4 points. What I don't get is he made moves on Sunday but didn't put anybody in. Maybe he wanted to make it look like he cared so he could avoid embarrassment... but the View is smarter than that rmc... shame shame shame.... you deserve a timeout... or a suspension... or a ban... forever.... but you know the drill... you didn't hear that from me. One Man, I think you owe rmc a wall post or a poke or something on facebook to thank him for not embarrassing you... at least not completely.
There are five 5-4 teams and five 4-5 teams with four weeks left.... still a major cluster f***... anybody has a chance minus those two teams in the cellar that I have already mentioned too much.
Mean Machine... 4 losses in a row... time to panic... are the NITTANY LIONS slipping something in your food and or drinks... I'd watch out if I were you. And Giants Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 wins in a row... but still in 12th. Oh and btw... Altoona Giants 3 in a row... now all the way up to #3... nbd (no big deal... for our older readers once again).

Now listen up... or read up... be sure to come back on THURSDAY night for the WEEK 10 PREVIEW. Thursday Night games start this week, therefore my preview shall be out prior to the kickoff.

Week 9er Preview
Four teams are 5-3... six are 4-4... and four are 3-5... but who gives a shit, the McRib is BACK! (*barfs*)
Let's get right to it...
NITTANY LIONS v. Wallys Warriors: I congratulate the commish on FINALLY making his matchup the GOTW. I am sticking to my word and giving you that much earned standing ovation... bravo, you became more of a man. But instead of focusing on his opponent, the notes clearly state that the LIONS are more interested in the new "McRib" (limited time only) sandwich at McDonalds. My sources tell me the commish will be on the road all this week touring every McDonalds in Monmouth and Ocean County to try this crap on a bun... and he will post his grades in the next edition of the weekly notes... (maybe that will give those things some life... OOHH!) Who knows if he will be back in time to set his 3 game losing streak lineup. The Warriors are a different story, I guess he took too long of a nap last week against Altoona because he wasn't able to enjoy his pancake breakfast on Tuesday morning. But when Wally's gives the commish his 4th straight loss this week, he will be "kickin' the crap outta somethin' furry".... beware house pet of the Light family.
The commish in his immediate future:
Madison Hedgecocks v. Crazy Fools: Edgar Allan Poe takes on the Crazies in a very interesting 5/8 battle. Both teams have full lineups ready to do battle but I'm giving the Fools the edge in this high scoring affair. By the way... is anybody else having Hedgecock poem withdrawal?... I mean sometimes I shiver before I fall asleep, 3 weeks is too long without a new piece. I probably just upset the whole league for reminding him... my bad.
Giants Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! v. Alaska Ice Bashers: The matchup I have been looking forward to all season long. But most of the fun has been taken out of it since both teams have 3 wins a piece. So thanks for being major buzz kills... but this still is the Pillow Fight of week... hell it's still the Pillow Fight of the Year.... 13 vs 14. I like Alaska in a close one...so this loss will keep the GR!!! in the cellar... maybe you can get another 4th place finish next season.
One Man Wolfpack v. red moon cards: Stephan Logan.... yeah you got a shot this week red moon cards. This blowout loss to One Man will most likely be the nail in the coffin for any playoff chances for the cards' farewell season. Yeah you didn't hear that here... or maybe One Man likes the doghouse and will lose and give the cards some life... you neva know.
Altoona Giants v. Da Mounts! (Only one exclamation point, yeah how good will you be now with two less?): The 2nd place Mounts are looking to stay in the top 2 of the league but I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news... Altoona (currently holding the longest winning streak of 2 games in the league) will continue to only move up as times are looking much better... but once again, not the city... that would be the Aapocalypse... not even the sign of it. A high scoring game but the Giants by 10+.
DIRTY HARRY v. Mean Machine: It's time to wake up out of your deep sleep and get out of the chair Paul Crewe because you're falling faster than the NITTANY LIONS. Harry is currently atop the league but because of a recent transaction, I see the Machine getting a much needed win. This will make the league even more of a cluster f***.... Burt Reynolds > Clint Eastwood
Shake N' Bake v. Live Spain (a translation brought to you by the Alaska Ice Bahsers): I find it kinda crazy that Viva is a slot below his opponent in the standings even though he has 100+ more points... but that's fantasy football... too bad for you and lucky for the other guy. I see ~~~ winning this week in a blowout but just imagine how screwed this team would be if they fall to 3-6... ouch. But think happy thoughts Vivia...

That is all for me this week... good luck and come back TUESDAY for the WEEK 9 RECAP
Let's get right to it...
NITTANY LIONS v. Wallys Warriors: I congratulate the commish on FINALLY making his matchup the GOTW. I am sticking to my word and giving you that much earned standing ovation... bravo, you became more of a man. But instead of focusing on his opponent, the notes clearly state that the LIONS are more interested in the new "McRib" (limited time only) sandwich at McDonalds. My sources tell me the commish will be on the road all this week touring every McDonalds in Monmouth and Ocean County to try this crap on a bun... and he will post his grades in the next edition of the weekly notes... (maybe that will give those things some life... OOHH!) Who knows if he will be back in time to set his 3 game losing streak lineup. The Warriors are a different story, I guess he took too long of a nap last week against Altoona because he wasn't able to enjoy his pancake breakfast on Tuesday morning. But when Wally's gives the commish his 4th straight loss this week, he will be "kickin' the crap outta somethin' furry".... beware house pet of the Light family.
The commish in his immediate future:
Madison Hedgecocks v. Crazy Fools: Edgar Allan Poe takes on the Crazies in a very interesting 5/8 battle. Both teams have full lineups ready to do battle but I'm giving the Fools the edge in this high scoring affair. By the way... is anybody else having Hedgecock poem withdrawal?... I mean sometimes I shiver before I fall asleep, 3 weeks is too long without a new piece. I probably just upset the whole league for reminding him... my bad.
Giants Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! v. Alaska Ice Bashers: The matchup I have been looking forward to all season long. But most of the fun has been taken out of it since both teams have 3 wins a piece. So thanks for being major buzz kills... but this still is the Pillow Fight of week... hell it's still the Pillow Fight of the Year.... 13 vs 14.

Week 8... peace
Another very very interesting week in the league... it sure is shaping up to be a memorable 10th anniversary season. (That might of sounded like it belongs in the weekly notes... am I getting soft?)
Anyways... let's get right to it...
I find it baffling that only TWO games separate 1st and last place... I mean O...M...G. Now the points are a big difference but that's besides the point. I can't believe I'm saying it but EVERYBODY has a chance this season... at this point with week 9 ahead. Yes even you Ice Bashers and Giants Rule... but not you red moon cards.
It looks like the commish has come back to reality after a 5-0 start... make that a THREE GAME LOSING streak. Same for the Mean Machine... 3 losses in a row and now out of the top 8. Panic mode in these two camps? Good thing I am not in that household because I don't want that 0-6 combined record to rub off on the Altoona Giants who is climbing up in the standings... watch OUT.
How bout Alaska knocking of that amazing team called the Hedgecocks... where's the poem now Langston Hughes? (Didn't think I knew more than one poet now did ya?) Even though the Bashers have an astonishing 3 wins... they still sit in 13th but at this point you can throw out the numbers. Soon enough this cluster fuck (excuse my french) will break up and good teams and crap teams will start to distance themselves. BUT that could be ANYBODY at this point. These next 5 weeks are gonna be delightful for some (8 people) but so painful for others (5 people) 8+5=13... I left one team out (pretty obvi.) and they will remain nameless because honestly they have exceeded all expectations and they must be patting themselves on the back even if they lose out.
If the playoffs were to start today, the CrazyFools would be in the 8 slot and we all know what that spot did for him last season... but even I can't make predictions at this point because when do you ever see these standings that we currently have now?... I mean throw a frickin' bone my way...

That's all for me today, yeah I know short recap oh well... it just means the WEEK 9 PREVIEW will be THAT much better on FRIDAY! Ya'll come back now.
