To paraphrase Ernie back when he was famous: I’m just here so I don’t get fined for not giving out Jewballs. When I look back on Week 8 – and when I say look back, I mean check the box score so I can at least pretend I know something about it – I see that I lost twice. And lost close twice.
Let’s just get this out of the way and go rapid fire with some scattershot memories and Jewball awards:
Yaron wins early game over Gronk in close comeback fashion. Gonk’s team drops too many and Yaron doesn’t throw enough picks (only 1) to lose. Gronk has the hat trick of TD, Pick, and Sack, and puts up 2 scores. Yaron throws 3 TDs (Mighty, Kut, and Tom) and gets the 3-2 victory. Kut looks like your Jewball winner with 3 sacks and a TD. Notable also is the Jewball debut of Dovi Schwartz.
In the other early game, Zinn continued his quest to become a full fledged (dominant) Jewball QB. This was also a game where the last two ROYs teamed up to take on the two time MVP. The combo of Zinn and Ice Man proved too much for Pray, Legs, TBD, E, Stats, Blitz, and Bert. Pray throws 3 picks in this one (2 to Dietsch and 1 to Zinn) and Ice Man scores 2. Zinn threw 4 TDs and had a pick. That’s an MVP performance. Jewball to the Invader.
Zinn’s huge day continues in the late game with Pray throwing to him and Yaron loses by one score once again. Effie and Rook catch one TD each from Pray and Zinn snags 3 of em. Yaron is sacked 5 times (Prime, Effie, Rook, and Tom twice). Jordan, Stats, and Storm score for Yaron and Bron runs one in himself, but it isn’t enough. Pray win 5-4 and with 5 TDs thrown and 1 pick….he picks up a Jewball as well.
