2018 - Week 5

Changing the channel is too much effort.

Looks like Skyler is taking another week off.

That's okay though, cause this lil' corg is on the job despite having watched none of the games. 

Spot-on analysis, corgi friend.

You go, Glen Coco.

Sports and Such is hanging in there, although it looks like some of his players might have taken the weekend off to celebrate the Thanksgiving of Coach Brandon's homeland.

Oh, Canada!

Who's a talented doggo?

Kristin has no players in the auto-generated portion of this blog post on which I am basing all my commentary.  Sorry Coach Kristin, no sophisticated analysis here.  But, I found you a new team mascot!

It was a close game, but Coach Skyler managed to pull out a win and upset the previously-undefeated ... Crab Team?

It feels like we're just going around in circles here with this football stuff, huh? 

Coach Patrick still had a strong week, and will remain a contender for the rest of the season.  

Swingin' into second place like...

Wow, look how close this game was to the projected score!  The Green Bay Corgis, I mean, Mermen came out on top this time.

Who said mer-corgis don't exist?

Over 1/3 of Coach TJ's points came from one wide receiver!!  That's one guy who's good at fetch!

This is a PPR league, right?

Coach Brandon picking up the points this week from his star tight end!!

Maybe "fluffy" is more apt here than "tight"

Coach Andre is still out here looking for his first win like

So close!!
