On deck: Week 3 matchup previews

Archive preview: written now using only scores through Week 2. Scoring averages are shown for context; the trash talk is new.

Lady Luck's Leprechauns vs. Santas Naughty Elfs

Scoring averages entering matchup: 116.28–111.90

Lady Luck faces Santa after the Elfs put up 131.45. The leprechaun would like to see the receipt on those allegedly legal Christmas supplements.

Wreck It Ralphs vs. Puppet Master

Scoring averages entering matchup: 91.77–119.45

Ralph has two losses and Puppet just won again. ‘It’s early’ is rapidly becoming a legal defense rather than a football observation.

The Love Shack vs. Team M.J.

Scoring averages entering matchup: 100.68–107.93

The Love Shack and M.J. both lost in Week 2. One will reclaim dignity. The other will announce an extremely important waiver claim at 3 a.m.

Globo Gym vs. Mr. Roboto

Scoring averages entering matchup: 75.25–100.70

Globo’s latest score is 65.50. Roboto scored 99.30. This is not a heavyweight title fight; it is two shopping carts racing downhill.

KVWN San Diego vs. Hurricane Ditka

Scoring averages entering matchup: 109.62–114.90

KVWN gets Ditka after a 118.40-point win. Both managers have enough evidence to be annoying and nowhere near enough to be right.

Dearborn Dirkas vs. C-Kupps

Scoring averages entering matchup: 113.90–96.65

Dearborn finally won, scoring 120.80. C-Kupps just posted 79.80. The Dirkas are politely asking the schedule not to turn this into another fucking seminar.
