Week 8 League 3:


We've reached the half way point to safety in this hellish Fantasy Football season.
This was a scary week indeed. There were scary surprises, creepy plays, and dark upsets during the 1/2 way week. Some teams managed to escape a nasty death in their matchups and rise like a vampire in the night to feed on their victims while others dined on ashes.
Managers howled at the moon and scratched fang and nail only to have a stake driven thru their cold dead hearts by their foes who came hunting them in the night.
There were monsters a Frankenstorm named Sandy and demons of every kind in these terrifying battles for supremacy only to leave some fighting for their very lives and hoping to live and fight another week. To the victors go the spoils, to the losers, the icy hand of death.....uh, I mean defeat. So, ghouls and spirits, let us see who came out on top this All Hallows Eve and who was left twisting by their neck in the wind......Happy Halloween..........
