Bro...
Week Four has come and past and we have reached the quarter mark of the season. Nobody is truly out of it until they forget to change their lineup for a month or until say week ten or so. We have reached the point in the season however, where it is finally time to give up on the guys who we believed in that just are not producing or staying on the field long enough for us to keep believing that the pick will pay off over the long haul (Victor Cruz, C.J. Anderson, Charles Johnson, etc.). It is a depressing realization once the team owner realizes that "Hey, it's week four and Christine Michael has one carry" because they just get that empty, bitter feeling inside that they were wrong about something and while, they don't need to admit it, it goes without saying that a drop is basically a speechless confession of sorts. 

Of course, one could easily erase that error by picking up someone like... oh, I don't know... ODELL BECKHAM JR. That's right, this was the week last season when ODB/OBJ was given a clean bill of health and (not to make the story about myself but...) I wisely claimed him off waivers. I still missed the winner's bracket of the postseason, but had he landed on say... Scott or Sneen's teams, he could have won the league for someone and forever altered Bro League history books. So, I encourage everyone to go out there, find your Ol' Dirty Beckham and make the race for the title even tenser than it already is.

This week was defined by kicking, thus making it the most fascinatingly competitive low-scoring week in recent memory. In the epic rivalry of Aschebrook versus Aschebrook, Aschebrook was victorious as the father rode another incredible week from Falcons RB Devonta Freeman to a victory that ended up severely hampering his son's chances at 0-4. He has not reached "Detroit Lions" level of panic yet, but with Dez Bryant and Marshawn Lynch's unknown future injury statuses, the outlook could certainly get worse before it gets better. Alec won again proving that he is no fantasy rookie as a name-change could not save Cole Walters from the impending doom. Silka beat Tiffany by two points thanks to the hilariously uncontested last-minute 50-yard pass by Russell Wilson. A full Moon rose as Evan's team finally lived up to some of his own preseason hype by breaking the 100-point milestone this week. Evan still managed to lose to Nick's Mopey Team of Sadness though, as Le'Veon Bell is no longer under suspension and Michael Vick will continue to throw desperation passes for three yards to him until Big Ben returns sometime around week eight. The most-exciting week four match-up (only because there were more points scored than in the Silka-Tiffany "Who can blow this the least?" match-up) came down to the final play of Monday Night Football. The setting was too perfect as the Lions were at the 11-yard line and Spider 2 Y Banana needed 7 more points out of Ameer Abdullah which could have easily been accomplished had the Lions just given it to Abdullah for the final eleven yards of the drive and the touchdown. Instead, on a 3rd & 1 at the SEA 11, Jim Caldwell kept RB Theo Riddick (fair) and unknown un-drafted free agent Zach Zenner (Wait... why?) in and kept my knight in shining light-blue armor on the bench as Kam Chancellor forced the basically game-ending fumble. I feel slightly redeemed by the Lions failure to win, but this one still had a sour taste to it. Sneen Machine earned his win with a Gronk-like performance by Martellus Bennett and the beginning of the "I don't make the law, I" Justin Forsett comeback tour. Week Five will be a totally different story as there are now four teams on bye, the possible return of Andrew Luck, Mopey Sadness versus Issue Tissues and the exciting match-up of 4-0 Thee Wisconsin Chowhounds and 3-1 Sneen Machine. 

Trade made before Week 4: Aschebrook Sr. traded WR Sammy Watkins to Scott for WR Stevie Johnson
