Headhunters 2: The Fantastic Fourteen

## Introduction

A year ago this week we were saying goodbye to Hasta Laviska Baby. Not only is this team now out-performing their 2019 campaign, but they are among the top teams in Headhunters.

At the other end of the spectrum, we had our most nailbiting elimination yet. Two teams were in a ferocious battle to out-suck each other...that is, until the last play of the game.

## In Memoriam: LiveWithIt

As much as we are craving the double-elimination, a double this week would have deprived us of the most dramatic elimination yet.

The week came down to the Last Coach Standing's combined forces of Drake and Edmonds facing off against LiveWithIt's Mecole Hardman. When Hardman barely touched the ball, the door was blown wide open for the Coach to swoop in and pull a major upset.

Game script could not have been more in his favor in ARI/DAL as Kyler Murray only completed 9 passes all night long. 94.37, though not an amazing score by any stretch of the imagination, still seemed a distant hope and dream for Coach as he stood in last place with just 66.48.

As the game wore on it was clear that this would come down to the last drive.

Trailing by just under 3 points, Drake needed 12 yards to hit a 2-point yardage bonus, but the Cowboys led a 17-play touchdown drive that ate up almost the entire remainder of the game.

Now Drake was likely to be benched in favor of Chase Edmonds, who had no chance of getting a yardage bonus, and that would mean Edmonds somehow accumulating 30 yards on the final three plays.

But when the Cardinals came on to the field with just over 2 minutes left to play, Drake stood in the back field.

On the first play, he got stuffed behind the line of scrimmage. Loss of points.

But amazingly, and this is truly amazing, the Cowboys decided to burn their last timeout to stop the clock...huh????

Drake took the second carry 5 yards and we hit the 2 minute warning.

Now it was the 2 minute warning and a first down means victory formation for the Cardinals, while a fourth down likely means a punt.

Drake needed 6 yards to give Coach victory. Any less, and LiveWithIt survives.

I have never been so shocked and awed in my entire life at what I saw next.

Drake broke a 69-yard touchdown run to put the dagger into the Cowboys and to Nate's heart. I literally saw the soul of LiveWithIt lift from his lifeless body. I have heard of some amazing Monday night comebacks in my day, but that was by far the most dramatic finish I have ever witnessed in any league I've played in.

Truly a remarkable finish for the Coach, who stands another week.

Meanwhile, LiveWithIt takes his 2nd-ranked team to week 6 and hits a buzz-saw. One of the strongest rosters, LiveWithIt could not survive a massive bye week and also the Monday Night magic of coach Tebo. I know this loss has to sting immensely, but he's just going to have to try and....Live With It.

it is truly a finish I will never forget.

## Week Six Bidding Results

Last Year's most expensive week six player: Chris Godwin ($380)

* G in the running for most expensive player purchase ever, surplanting Chris's Davante Adams obsession .
* I was ready to rip the Coach for his acquisition of the Red Rocket but after his comeback last night he gets the week off from criticism. I'm still catching my breath from that game.

For the first time this season we outbid our former selves! Special thanks to Jethro, who had been eliminated a full month by this time last year.

## Week Six Results

* Biggest Climber: Neck-Fix and Chill (^12)

* Biggest Faller: Ya Hate 2 See It (v8)

## Kings of the Castle

### 1. Neck-Fix and Chill

After failing to win bids for Aaron Rodgers, Neck-Fix had an incredible recovery week with (somehow) Kirk Cousins putting up 43 and Will Fuller dropping 32. First round pick George Kittle continues to ball out, adding 30.30. This team has recovered from some major hits so far.

### 2. Carole Pigskin

Another team that has scratched and clawed for survival, Carole has hit on some big time sleepers, with guys like Chase Claypool (203rd overall pick) and Tim Patrick as a $0 waiver add.

### 3. The Guilloteam

Steady as she goes for Guilloteam, consistant top-5 finisher and carrying a much bigger bank account than they did in 2019, when they bid huge on Zach Ertz in the opening week. Guilloteam is always lurking...among us.

### 4. Gore-ronavirus

Quiet since their purchase of Davante Adams, this team has likely not his its peak yet with both Hopkins and Adams underperforming in their first healthy game together.

### 5.  Clydesdales

They're up, they're down. Snip, snap, snip, snap. Are they good? Are they bad? Almost eliminated last week, top five this week. Who the hell knows. But heading into week 7 they are the only team with $1,000 left in their bank.

## On the Chopping Block

### 14. Last Coach Standing

Survived this week, but steady decline in scoring has the Coach on the ropes. They may need to land some huge players in the bidding war this week to keep the good time going.

### 13. Ya Hate 2 See It

Tyreek Hill did not prove to be the $700 man this week as they were outscored by Tyler Higbee and Darnell Mooney. But the team survived and you're not going to keep the Cheetah at bay forever.

### 12.  Hasta Laviska Baby

Continues to fight through injury and bye and now this week had almost every good player on their roster in a slump. They'll need to break out of the funk this week with a double elimination lurking.

### 11. Shotti's Bugatti

What if I told you that Shotti's score of 135.86 is more than double what they put up in a 10-team league with an even more high-scoring points system? Tough week for the champ.

### 10. A Team Has No Name

No name and no Lamar Jackson in week seven. Going to be tough.

Up until this week there was a clear theme for the eliminated teams. None of them had spent any money. Granted, we can't exactly blame them. There hasn't been much to bid on. That being said, of the $19,000 that we started with in the league, $4,799 has now officially gone unspent (95% of the total eliminated teams budget)
