League Talk 2023: Week 9 Review

“The light has gone out of my life,” – Theodore Roosevelt.

Mr. Prez went dark on us back in that sad day in 1884. But here in early November of 2023, I feel him.

In the midst of contacting Louis C.K. and Chris Rock for advice on long standup sets, I decided to take some time to listen to the BV Boys (Beans and Vigs) talk shop.

Let’s be honest, this league is all based on luck and if you think otherwise, you’re wrong. Jack, run the numbers.

Speaking of, I don’t believe Jack has run ANY numbers this season. What gives? Still, Jack, run the numbers.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

No Zook or Bones this week (or food delivery), no problem. Vigs found a way to misquote Forrest Gump, a brutal start to the action, but the team we know and love recovered to bring us another commute killer.

Let’s get down to the meat and potatoes. Predictions:

Brent vs. Jack:

Beans and Vigs: Brent by a billion

Max vs. Kris:

Beans: Kris

Vigs: Obviously Kris (not by a billion)

Ryan vs. Thomas

Beans: Thomas

Vigs: Thomas because of Diontae Johnson

Vigs vs. Abie

Beans: Vigs by 40, Abie’s team leaves “bad taste” in his mouth 😱

Vigs: Taking himself because he “has to” win this game

Beans vs. Brad

Beans: “I think I’m gonna win” – has Breece Hall and Ja’Marr Chase

Vigs: Heart saying Brad, brain saying Beans — ended up taking Beans

Now let’s take a look at the power rankings:

Beans: 1. Brent 2. Thomas 3. Kris 4. Beans 5. Brad 6. Jack 7. Ryan 8. Vigs 9. Abie 10. Max

Vigs: 1. Brent 2. Kris 3. Thomas. 4. Beans 5. Vigs 6. Brad 7. Abie 8. Ryan 9. Jack 10. Max

The wins have to count for something, right?

This episode was a one-hour and 13-minute roast of my life. It was fair and balanced. It is certified fresh, 73% 🍅.
