I just want to take moment here and call out something that is worthy of mention in the history of both the TrashTalking Fantasy Football League and the Battlin' Sweethearts Fantasy Football League.
Last week, Buccaneers rookie running back Doug Martin had his best game as a pro, and his best fantasy day to that date, running for 135 yards on 29 carries for a touchdown, and catching 3 passes for 79 yards and another touchdown. This performance was good enough for 21 fantasy points under TTFFL scoring, and 35 points using Battlin' Sweethearts scoring.
This week, Martin has a chance to make not only fantasy history, but NFL history as well. So far today, Martin has broken scoring runs of 45, 67 and 70 yards. He currently sits at 50 fantasy points on the day under Battlin' Sweethearts scoring rules, and 31 points under TTFFL scoring.
His 244 total rushing yards on the day stand just 52 yards shy of Adrian Peterson's single-game rushing record of 296 yards in a game, and there are still nearly 10 minutes still to play in the game.
But you know what the sweetest part of this is? It's not *just* the fact that I own Martin in TTFFL, and it's not just the poetic irony that my nemesis, Brandy 'Precious' Cain owns him in Battlin' Sweethearts.
No, the sweetest part is that Merrill got pummeled by Doug Martin in BOTH leagues last week in his games against myself and Precious --- and the fact that Kubicek is getting smacked around by Martin in both leagues this week. While the result of my game with Kubicek is still up in the air, Martin's heroics give me a very good chance of handing Kubicek a defeat on a week when Aaron Rodgers threw for 4 TDs and Eric Decker caught 2.
Doug Martin is the definition of awesomeness.
