Week 8 Recap: Treehouse of Horror Edition

It was a frightening week of competition in the DFFL and the playoff race is in full swing. When taking a look at the standings, you truly realize that no one is safe! Due to the upcoming holiday, this Recap will have a slight theme to it. See if you can guess what it is.
On to the games! MUHWWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
A close non-divisional game took place when Team Uncle Sloppy faced Mike's Crazy Bombers. Uncle Sloppy desperately needed to win this game to stay within at least 1 game of Nick in the Pants N'at Division. The elder gentleman emerged victorious over Mike's team 99 to 82. That is the second loss in a row for the Bombers. Are they on the verge of a late season collapse? After the win, Coach Sloppy was seen addressing his team...

Defensive Slugfest of the Week was a game featuring Stan's Steamers and the Green Day Tractors. The Steamers escaped with a 56 to 38 win. Both teams are currently 4-4 on the year. 38 points is pretty pitiful. Green Day Tractors wins Low Score of Week by a large margin. This weeks prize is...

A bag of candy corn. Whoever came up with this evil concoction should be forced to eat it all day, every day to see the pain that they've brought to children around the country every Halloween.

A Father/Son Game of the Week this week had Uncle Gary's Office vs. his eldest, Nick's Buyer Beware. This was a game that had two of the top teams in the DFFL face off. The Office made it look easy and reminded Nick who the man of the house was with a 93 to 56 drubbing. The Office got it done using the likes of Steve Slaton, a Kansas City wide-receiver, and some no name Saints receiver. That's like Jason in Friday the 13th. People keep trying to kill him, but he always manages to get up at the end. Well done.

Game of the Week goes to the matchup between Joe's Here Comes Treble and Molly's Stanley Nickels. Both teams put up respectable numbers but Joseph came out on top 77 to the Nickel's 74. The Nickels have been struggling a lot lately. Well, all of the Gallagher siblings have been struggling lately. Maybe poor fantasy football runs in the genes or something. By the way, Molly, were you at that Marshall/Houston game this week? I blame YOU for that cart breaking that poor guy's leg. You could have easily pushed that cart out of the way. And if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, just look up Marshall vs. Houston leg break on youtube. It's not pretty.

The first of two sibling matchups this week was Corey's Vandelay Industries vs. Emily's Dwight's Bobbleheads. Apparently, Emily did not get the memo that you're supposed to let the birthday boy win. The Bobbleheads won 64 to 51. Congratulations Em! You are tops among your brother and sister! The Gallagher Bragging Rights are yours! (until next season)



In the final Sibling Game of the Week, Garret's One T artans took on my The Adam Factor in a high-scoring offensive slugfest. Of course, Garret beat me 107 to 95. In what universe does Roddy Freakin White get you 23 points?! This universe, apparently! Oh well, I'm still sitting atop our division, which is all that matters right now. You may have won the battle, but not the war! Congratulations, for High Score of the Week you get...



A special Treehouse of Horror High Score of the Week Trophy. (This is what shows up when you type in "Halloween Trophy" in Google images.)

Congratulations to all the winners and better luck next time to the losers. Happy Halloween and good luck in Week 9!

Those carts have been there for fifteen years. Not saying they should have been, but they have been.

pretty sickening. unfortunately, i was too short to see over my fellow classmates heads and also had to see it on youtube. what's the point of even going to the game then?
