Happy Birthday Aunt Janie!


Happy Birthday to the greatest Aunt anyone could ask for. You have always been there for each and every one of us kids and we can never repay you for that. We are very blessed to have you in each one of our lives. Love you Jane Dog!

The ________ Four

Yes, I do not know what adjective to place here (although I think I have an idea what word Aunt Colleen would choose).

WE ARE DOWN TO THE LAST FOUR PEOPLE!!
           --I need help with an adjective so leave a comment on what you think it should be!

Anyways, these "adjectiveless" four have shown strength in the first round of the playoffs.  All scoring at least 112 points EXCEPT the Redeem Team who got FREAKIN LUCKY that the Ravens D got gassed in the 2nd half.  Props to Matt Schaub and the Texans for that 2nd half performance but dangit why did it have to happen now.

I just realized that the ladies only had one team present in the playoffs, Gridiron Grandma (swiftly sliding into the last seed).  However, she was quickly put to bed by Mr. I NEVER respect my elders, Mike Matis.  I am excited to see how these last four play against each other, all are in the top 5 for scoring on the year and do not look like they will be slowing down.  Good luck to

All Eyes on Mic - Michael Matis
3 Knuckled Squirrel - Chad Rumsey
For Da Love of Ray-J - Ray and LJ Matis
Redeem Team - Micky "the worst" Matis (sorry I had to take some shots here, I'm bitter)


All Eyes on Mick plays his godson and nephew, For Da Love of Ray-J: Mic has shown that he doesn't respect his elders and he has shown earlier this season that it DOES NOT MATTER, he will still beat you even if he takes the vows of Christianity for you (in the same day).

3 Knuckled Squirrel takes on the Redeem Team who shows late power just like the Texans Offense that he relies on.  Chad has shown high scoring all year; however, as I have so boasted all year RUNNING BACK RUNNING BACK RUNNING BACK... My stable failed me yesterday, but Micky has the league leader and Chad has an underperforming star.. I am really looking forward to this one.

LOVE YOU ALL! The championship just so happens is falling on Christmas weekend so please, playful jabbing - don't let it turn it hurtful or Heather will take her anger out on you!

Peace - W












By the way, I was losing by 5 in another league and this play won it for me b/c I have the Ravens D/ST.

Correction

So......as it turns out, the NFL released their stats for this past weekends games as they do every week. However, as it does tend to happen every once in a while, yahoo! and the NFL had differences. That being said, Mike Williams (TB-WR) was credited with only having 59 yards when he actually had 68 yards.

Now here's why this matters:

Gridiron Grandma has Mike Williams on her team and if you all can remember, she lost to Dog by a very slim margin. With that loss, Heather had a better record and thus the final spot in the playoffs. HOWEVER, with the adjusted scores Grandma ended up winning that game and Heather and Grandma ended the season with identical records. The first tiebreaker is total points scored for the year and Grandma had more points thus allowing her into the playoffs in the 8th and final spot.

This is a sctiky situation, one that I have never seen before. However, I can say confidently that they got it correct. It does stink for Heather and I apologize for that but I dont have any control over this. I just saw it this morning myself.

The time is now!




The playoffs are here!  (and that theme song always gets me ready for sundays!!)

(1) All Eyes on Mic
(8) Header

(4) flyswatters
(5) For da Love of Ray-J

(3) Greenwood Rattlers
(6) Redeem Team

(2) 3 Knuckled Squirrel
(7) The Pretty boys

First of all, for those in the playoffs, good work but the real season starts now!  And, for those of you who aren't in it, feel free to start an office pool, bring the bracket to school with you, or fill it out and follow along! Whatever you need to do to ease the sting of not making the playoffs is up to you.

The season ending week was a microcosm of the entire season.. D-R-A-M-A!  Not last again edging out Gridiron Grandma by 0.2 points?!? Ending her season by knocking her out of the playoffs?!? And letting Header, who won 6 of her last 7 to sneak in and give her a chance at another title.  The big seeds won easily in the last game of the year EXCEPT for the flyswatters who may have shown some weakness that has been seen in previous years!

Not much to say now because we all have to let our teams do the talking.. Good luck to all and see everyone on December 23rd (aka Zannadoo "Ribs & Bones" will be playing at McQ's; I have to work)

Love you all!

And, oh by the way

CHAMPS

Whew!

I just looked at and studied the possible outcomes for the playoffs and the who might be in and who might be out possibilities made me have to get another cup of coffee because there are several ways this thing could turn out. As I see it, there are 4 teams fighting for 2 spots. in the driver's seat are the Redeem Team and (dare I say) Header who is on a 5 game winning streak. On the putside looking in are the 4-7 Grandma's of the Gridiron and even EdmintonEskimoPies, I mean the Hospital, I mean the Arrrrrgh Matis!. The thing with all theses teams is that they all won this week making there case even stronger every week. Liam has put up back to back 140+ scores making his point total a factor when it comes to ties but he still has some work to do and needs some help. Grandma is the same way. For Micky and Heather, its simple, you win and your in. But if you lose, you have two hungry little hippo's nipping at your toes.

As for the top spot, it is a 3 dog race. Myself, William, and the out-of-nowhere Luke are in a heated battle. With the squirrel of the 3 knucckled version losing this week to Heather (Ill bet that is a friendly household on Sundays when these two square off) it opens the door wide open to Willie, myself and Luke.


P.S. this is why I love fantasy football.


If my math is correct and there is a strong possibility that it is not, but if the playoffs were today the would be as follows:

1) Greenwood Rattlers
8) Header

4) 3 Knuckled Squirrel
5) For da love of Ray-J

3) flyswatters
6) The Pretty boys

2) All eyes on Mic
7) Redeem Team

However, I doubt that this is how it ends up. Ohh baby, next week is a BIG week.

I love you all,

Mic




If anyone has pics from Thanksgiving, we should put them on here.

From all of us who bare the Matis name...Happy birthday Willie.



You are clearly the glue that keeps this family together, other than Me, Katie, Aunt Janie, Your dad, my Dad, my Mom, your Mom, Andy, Joey, Leah, Micky, Luke, Sammy, LJ, and Ray-ray. But other than that, your the man.

However, dont take my kindness as a weakness. I shall not roll over for the Rattlers this week in fantasy. I need a big win. I bow down to no man.



But seriously, love ya buddy and Happy Birthday,
