Headhunters 3: The Dirty Dozen

## In Memorium: Mixon Beer with Liquor

Derek must have been mixing beer with liquor with hardcore drugs to go into Sunday afternoon with the Immunity Idol in his pocket. There's no time like the present, and Mixon Beer gift-wrapped his exit by not taking advantage of his hard-fought prize from 2020. Now granted, he had no way of knowing that his QB was going to tear his ACL, or that Jared Cook would be virtually shut out. But he saw Emmanual Sanders get 0. He saw Robby Anderson get 0. He saw Smith get 2.70. There was enough tape out there on his team to know that he was in rough shape heading into the 4:25pm cut-off for using the idol. The only thing I can think of is that he once again forgot that he had it. The more I think about it, I don't even know if he's aware that this league had dues in 2021. I paid his dues as part of him winning the 2020 trophy, since it wasn't a money league back then. I shot him a text letting him knw his dues were on the house and that he also had his idol but I never heard back. Is it possible Derek hasn't had cell reception in four months?

Who knows, hard to say. But both our previous champions have now been eliminated from contention in 2021, meaning we will have a new king or queen to crown in a few week's time, with a pretty decent payday to the winner(s) as well.

Mixon Beer with Liquor:

## Dead Money

Keeping track of all the cash that never got spent by teams that are now eliminated.

Dead Money

## Week Nine-Twelve - The Great Purge

We still have two double-eliminations left out of the next four weeks! This is going to be a blood bath. Thursday night 8pm (7pm central) I'll go LIVE with the Wheel of Fate.

## New Releases

Derek barely spent any of his money and it shows with the new releases:

1. Joe Mixon
2. Darren Waller
3. Myles Gaskin
4. Van Jefferson
5. DeVonta Smith

## Week Eight Bidding Results

#### Quick-hit thoughts

* Big week of overpayment. In total, managers overpaid by $700.
* RemDawg alone spent $154 over what he needed to (he could have gotten all players for free).
* RemDawg Forever is an approved name change that I will acknowledge and honor. Remy Forever.
* Chris Godwin becomes the second player that KVR and CVR have successfully put up for auction. CP claims he thought he canceled the bid, but we can never know for sure.

Last Year's most expensive week eight player: Travis Kelce ($369)

## Money Spent Per Week

This is the first time that more than $2,000 was spent in a single week in HH history.

## Week Eight Results

* Biggest Climber: RemDawg Forever (^10)

* Biggest Faller: The Titanic (v6)

## Kings of the Castle

### 1. Bad VRs

Second week in a row for Bad VRs in first place with plenty left to spend. Please, everyone take the time today to tell KVR how good he's doing because for some reason he can't survive without validation from others.

### 2. CP

Nabbed Chris Godwin just in time for his best week of the season. A lot of his best players still have their bye weeks coming, including AJ Brown and QB Matt Stafford, so they have to stay vigilent to avoid a random down week as teams dwindle.

### 3. RemDawg Forever

Death by a thousand streamers. RemDawg hasn't chased down any big fish, instead surviving in the shadows munching up scraps. Little by little their funds are depleting, but the super stars on the roster still consist of just Metcalf and Najee Harris. At some point he has to swing for the fences.

### 4. I Can Dere-lick My Own Balls

No bones about it, Dere-lick is toast. They have no money left after spending their entire remaining budget inexplicably on CeeDee Lamb. Great player, don't get me wrong. But now they lose Derrick Henry and still have 11 teams to outlast, all of whom can spend $1 to outbid them for any player. They'll almost certainly not get another star player the entire season, unless they can work a trade to get some spending money or put a player up for auction.

### 5. Return of the Mac

Quite a glowup for Mac to be all the way up here in 5th place. Still just 10th in the league in points, they're bound to spend some of that $834 any weeknow.

## On the Chopping Block

### 12. Neck-Fix and Chill

Winston's broken leg saved Chill, as their entire roster top to bottom let them down (with the exception of Tyler Lockett) . Speaking of which, Lockett is on the bye this week and there's not a lot on the bench to substitute. Could it be Joe Mixon time in Chilltown?

### 11. Out of Luck

First bit of bad luck on he season for Out of Luck: they finally take a huge withdrawel to buy a player, and now that player is day-to-day. Could be worse, but James Robinson doesn't seem like he was worth the investment as it stands now.

### 10. The Titanic

Been a while since Titanic was in this section of the writeup. 5 points from Chicago D and a combined 16.52 from your starting WRs will do that to you.

### 9. Last Matts Standing

We're still here, that's all that matters! Pay no attention to the fact that we've underperformed by approx. 50 points three of the last four weeks.

### 8. Sloppy Seconds

I want to have something to say about Sloppy Seconds, but they're just kind of existing right now. They've managed to be in the middle of the pack ever since their return. Good bid on Indy D I guess?

## Dungeon Dwellers

2021 teams that finished second-to-last, narrowly avoiding elimination:

## Single Season Scoring Records

As teams get eliminated their season will be added to the record books.

## All-Time Combined Points Scored

As teams get eliminated, their updated totals will be added to the record books.
For the moment, Derek moves into third all-time in scoring. That will certainly change with each elimination moving forward.

## CONCLUSION

That's all for this week! Have a good week, see everyone Thursday night for the Wheel of Fate, and happy hunting!
