NFL in London Mid Season Awards

MVP – Christian McCaffrey

No one has dominated the NFL and fantasy like Christian McCaffrey. When you see him line up against you during a matchup you might as well go to IKEA because there’s no point watching football this week. With over 800 yards, 10 TD’s and 40 rec he’s on his way to a LaDanian Tomlinson type season. There hasn’t been a white running back producing like this since John Riggins. If he can do it then maybe one day, a white guy can win the 100m in the Olympics.

LVP – Baker Mayfield

The one good thing about living in the UK is that I wasn’t forced to sit through Baker Mayfield commercials all off-season. They are just as awful as the Go Compere Guy I bet. Freddie Kitchens aside, Baker has been a turnover machine, quick tempered with the media, and not getting the ball to Odell. And we all know that a productive Odell is a happy Odell. If Baker doesn’t pick it up in the second half there’s going to be more drama in Cleveland then a Logan Roy Family Thanksgiving.

Rookie of the Year – Josh Jacobs

Member the Daniel Jones hype! I member! That was a fun time, when he was the second coming of Brady and the sure fire ROY. Now having regressed almost weekly, he has opened the door for the most consistent rookie Josh Jacobs. Now 7th in the NFL in rushing with 6 TDS, Josh Jacobs makes Jon Gruden look like a genius, and he needs it after the Clelin Ferrell pick which is looking like a disaster. Jacobs has kept the Raiders relevant in a season where everyone expected them to fall on their face. After the AB debacle and keeping the Raiders at 4-4, maybe Gruden hasn’t lost it!

Fantasy Player of the Year – Lamar Jackson

We will witness another shift in fantasy football next year and it will involve whether you draft Lamar Jackson number 1 overall. It’s now an official debate. A QB who can also run for 1,000 yards is like having a RB who throws 20 TDs. (Now that’s the future of the NFL!) Either way, we should all enjoy Lamar while we can because that reckless playing has never worked long term. But then again, we say Brady can’t keep doing it and look at him! Look at your master and bow down to him!……shit, sorry that was weird. The computer started typing on its own. Let’s move on.

Other Awards

Best Moustache (Or known as the Canadian Mullet) – Gardner Minshew

First Coach Fired Award – Dan Quinn – sorry Mr. Clean, it’s time to get your stain off the Falcons

Biggest Disappointment – The AFC – Get it together guys, it’s embarrassing out there. You are like the East in the NBA. Unwatchable.

Week 9-Best Plays

by

What a week in the NFL for Week 9!

It was the final game for the 2019 London series, with Gardner Minshew stinking up the join worse than rotten camembert in the fridge.

So what were some of the best plays in the NFL for Week 9?
Well thanks to the lovely editors at NFL Films, we can share with you all of the big plays from Week 9 so that you can see why you might have gotten smoked in fantasy.

Some of the highlights/ lowlights include:

  • Bears vs Eagles
    Mitch Trubisky is a joke. A very unfunny joke that is turning more into a nightmare. He is a college player playing in the NFL, and it shows. What will they do with him? Will the Bears be able to save him before the fans kill him?
  • Redskins vs Bills
    The Bills are now 6-2, so throw a dildo on the bar-b and let’s celebrate. They haven’t beaten too many huge teams, but are pushing for a playoff spot. They laid a beating on the Redskins who are sinking lower than the status of many native Americans. What will they do to stop the atrocity?
  • Jets vs Dolphins
    The Dolphins won! What is going on in the world? Adam Gase is lucky to have a job…for now. How long before he gets tossed into the dumpster that he created?
  • Lions vs Raiders
    The Raiders won another game, and their defense is starting to keep them in the games. Sure, most of the credit goes to Josh Jacobs and the running game, but they are looking good for next year in Vegas, plus with all those draft picks they have saved up.

Order some wings and a frosty pint, then sit by the fire and watch the games on massive screens.

South Carolina vs Georgia #3
It’s the battle of the south, as #3 ranked Georgia hopes to put out the fire of those pesky gamecocks. Grab a burger for this one, because it’s going to melt in your mouth.

9pm

Alabama #1 vs Texas A&M #24
Hoo doggy, this game is going to be all kinds of fun! Let’s see what Tricky Nick Saban has in store for A&M. This game kicks off at 9pm and will finish by 1am closing time.

MLB-Cardinals vs Nationals
October is here, and so are baseball playoffs. It’s the NLCS match-up of the ages, as St. Louis and Washington battle it out to see who gets to lose to the Yankees.
A great game for more wings!

See you tonight!
