While there is a 25% chance that we will have a repeat champion this year in the ROFF(L), there is a 100% chance that we will have a repeat ROFF(L)
Toilet Bowl winner. And there is a 100% that award will be determined this very week!
Getcha Popcorn Ready!
What is not talked about as much, is the fact that this year we will have someone take the toilet bowl home for the second time in six years! A marc – oh
wait, I mean a mark – which should be celebrated just as much as winning its more distinguished and better looking trophy brethren, the ROFF(L) Trophy
twice.
We all know who is in contention for that last playoff spot. But what does that really mean, anyway? A first round match against the Tom Brady Machine?
No thanks! Hungry Horses and Nose. If the Horses gallop to victory this week, they are in. And Parker (the tallest jockey in history) will be quite pleased.
Or, if Nose blows this week (and stocks of Google soar) the Horses feast in the playoffs. If the Horses stumble on the Tools of Baltimore and Nose runs
(the table) while maintaining their 8.72 lead over the Horse Jockey, Nose will be alive in Week 14 and maybe slip a micky or two to Alice in hopes that she
will spill the beans on how to stymie The Brady Bunch.
Bo-RING!
It’s Week 13.
You can’t win anything now can you?
Oh oh oh! Not so fast smart alec. You can!!
Just ask our very own Brian Yeung. Last year in Week 13, he walked away with the coveted and often misunderstood ROFF(L) Toilet Bowl. And he didn't
even need to have a playoff – he won it outright! Anyone can win an award in Week 13! A MAJOR award! And it’s not a lamp! Its better! People – this
needs to be noticed. And it has gone without publicity until now. I am exposing this unheralded week of triumphs! Some knew the true significance of Week
13. Who knew? Two greedy owners who have already tasted the joy and glory of winning an official ROFF(L) trophy in Week 13 – the first trophy of the
season.
They didn't need fanfare, they didn't need motivation, they didn't even need two healthy running backs - they accepted the Bowl with dignity and grace
wholly absent in the boorish and loud celebrations accompanied by the ROFF(L) Trophy, and found pride and acceptance from within. Model owners, dear
readers. And I want you all to take note!
So who are these two diabolical trophy whores? None other than the New Jersey Jacobins and the Baltimore Tools. Two of the oldest franchises in ROFF
(L) history.
The battle is fierce and it comes down to two games in Week 13…so without further run-on sentences permit me to shed some light on these Duels of
Greatness.
I will be honest with you here; NJJ has a very good grip on the toilet bowl and looks to be the strong favorite. Not only do they have a game lead on the
Tools, but they are also ahead by 18 points. NJJ put themselves in excellent position for a last place finish. NJJ plays playoff bound 5SS, who has already
amassed 45 points – on Friday! NJJ is a relentless competitor – no messing around here. They want that trophy. If NJJ loses, the Toilet Bowl goes back to
Jersey.
However! NJJ does have Jon Kitna – Captain of God’s Team. Which means Divine Intervention is not out of the question. If NJJ pulls out the miracle win
AND the Tools lose AND NJJ outscore the Tools by 17.87 points – Tools gets the Bowl! Wow! That is something! Playoff Shmayoff!
But that’s not all!
The Tools are in the MATCH-UP OF THE YEAR with both Playoff and Bowl implications at stake! Currently the Tools are sporting a -2 to 0 lead. Quite
fitting, I say, for a contest of such outlandish proportions, and not easy to do, believe me you! Now, a Tools win assures that NJJ gets the bowl (tough
break, Tools) AND it opens the door for Nose to take the 8th spot in the playoffs if they win AND maintain their 8.72 lead over the Epicurious Equistrian.
And if you read (and understood any of) that meandering article, then you, too, deserve a MAJOR award in Week 13.
Luck and Health to all.
Wes Welker will miss you.
And All Hail #21…
