Well color me indecisive, but after literally days of painstaking analysis, I can’t bring myself to award the Landry hat to only one man this week. Jimmy, Kyle, congratulations. Not only did Jimmy prevail in a fantasy match-up, but the Bengals won and Ohio State held a large lead for a good portion of its game against Nebraska. And guess what else? Terrelle Pryor served out his suspension and gets to start practicing for the Raiders this week! Pretty close to a homerun weekend for Mr. Wood.
Jimmy’s running backs have been holding him down this year, but he deserves some serious praise for the drafting of WRs. A.J. Green was not expected to produce like this as a rookie, and Jeremy Maclin bounced back from a potentially life-threatening illness to put up the same numbers as he did last year—when his mortality was not at all in question. Jim has even charmed his way past this league’s vaunted Steve Smith curse, and that diminutive but feisty wide-out has rewarded Jim handsomely. In a lineup move that can only be described as sagacious, Jim sat the Bears defense on Monday night because he’d already secured a win over previously-undefeated Pork ‘n Beans. A Monday night meltdown would have tormented his team’s psyche for the rest of the year, and Detroit’s offense seems capable of sending a few defenses to negative points. Great job, Jim!
Kyle gets a share of the Week 5 Landry hat due to his flair for the dramatic. Down by 29 going into Monday night, Kyle sandbagged through nearly three quarters before unleashing Jahvid Best on an 88-yard TD scamper that all but guaranteed him victory. Despite Ramrod’s pedestrian weeks from Brady and Fitzgerald, Kyle managed to squeeze blood from a stone (which I’ve seen him do twice in real life) and got 26 points out of Pierre Garcon. If he can get wins without big showings by Larry and Tom, then his team will continue to be a contender. I’m next in line for the Ramrod wrecking ball, and I’m hardly looking forward to being bested in any football-related competition by a man named Pierre (Yes I’ve used this joke before, shut your stupid faces). Jim, Kyle, please address the media with your acceptance speeches.
