Olin surmkindel, et Whitney vastu tuleb võit… aga ei tulnud mitte. Lõpetasin kolmanda nädala 128.33 punktiga, küll rohkem kui line-up’ile prognoositi, aga kuna minu meestest jäid mitmesuguste vigastuste tõttu poole matši pealt pingile kaks wide receiver’it, tuli vastu võtta kibe kaotus. Sama saatus tabas meie stupid bet’e, kõik kaotasid.
Mingi tüüp meie liigas saadab mulle pidevalt lollakaid trade pakkumisi, umbes, et anna mulle staarid Nick Chubb (RB, Cleveland Browns) ja Ja’Marr Chase (WR, Cincinnati Bengals) ja vastu saad viis suvalist mängijat. Kui tehingu kolmandat korda tagasi lükkasin, otsustas kutt (okei, ma ei tea, kas on kutt, aga 99% kindel, et on) neljandale pakkumisele lisada paar rida selgituseks. See kõlas umbes, et “sul on head mängumehed pingil, mul on vaja paremaid mängumehi, anna oma head mulle”.
Nope, no, ain’t happening, vastasin ja litsusin jälle reject. Trade on siis kui sul on mingil mängupositsioonil veidi kehv seis ja oled nõus mõne teise positsiooni hea mängija vahetama tolle kehva positsiooni tugevamaks tegemiseks. Saabus viies ettepanek: “MIKS SUL ON HEAD MÄNGIJAD PINGIL, MUL EI OLE HÄID MÄNGIJAID, ANNA SIIS JUBA MULLE!!!”, what the fuck Rob from Germany, make me a better offer, raisk, võib-olla menetlen. Tegelikult on mul hoopis plaan pakkuda RB Josh Jacobs (Las Vegas Raiders) Whitney’le ja vastu küsida TE George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers), aga kardetavasti tuleb sealt kiire ja kindel ei. “Kallis, please…”
In my opinion, in fantasy leagues it never matters what players my opponent has in their lineup. The only thing that matters is choosing a lineup that will get more points than that of my opponent. The point is, I completely forgot I was playing against Lisette in our fantasy league. Honestly it should have been an easy win for "Miss 3rd place in the league" (I was ranked 12th, and there are only 12 teams). And especially since my one and only candle in the dark Estonian winter, Christian McCaffrey, got injured in the 2nd quarter of the Panthers/Texans game, getting me only 6 points. However, thanks to Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson's 27.30 points and 24.10 points from my last minute pickup, Vikings RB Alexander Mattison, who was able to start due to usual starter Dalvin Cook sitting out with an ankle injury, I won. Me. Mina. Despite the loss, Lisette is still in 3rd place and I only moved up one slot to 11th. But a win is a win, and this win is especially golden.
