The Barbecue Sauce Legacy

Well hey there, everyone! We are now officially three weeks into the regular season, and may football wonders never cease! It's been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and let me tell you, I am loving the ride. So strap yourselves in, and let's get to the match ups! Let's start off with the match up between AdamBlowsGoats-HaveProof and PasswordIsTACO, because it has the honor of being both our household match up of the week and the only one where both team managers spent the whole time off the North American continent. First off on Thursday night, it was a head to head Niner's match up, with solid performances from both ABG-HP's Christian McCaffrey and TACO's Deebo Samuel. From there, though, it was another all TACO week. Justin Jefferson had a slow start, but hit is stride in the second half for a good day out against the Chargers. Davante Adams also refused to be ignored with a huge 40+ point day against the Steelers. ABG-HP's other bright spot was Chris O...

Hi there, friends! I'll start off this week's recap by being honest with y'all - some weeks it's harder to write these recaps than others. And this week is a tough one, because the last thing that's burned into my football memory is Nick Chubb's season-ending injury during Monday night's game. If there's anything that makes you not want to think about football, it's that kind of thing. Just horrible. But here's the thing - football really is life. It's got its ups and downs, its joy and its pain, and it is certainly not measured by the number of times you fall down. It's measured by the number of times you get back up again, and over here at Barbecue Sauce HQ, we're sending Nick Chubb all the positive energy that he can bounce back from this. Now that might be a heavy and sappy start for a league recap, but sometimes, that's just about doing the little things that bring you happiness. For me, that's spending some time with y...

Hey there, sports fans! Wouldn't you know it, we survived week one of NFL football! There are a lot of changes coming into the league this year - rookie quarterbacks earning their salt, fair catches always coming to the 25 yard line, and the number 0 is now a legal jersey number. Well, I'll just say that while there may be zeroes in the league, you all are heroes in my book. Let's get into the recap! Let's open up with our very first household match of the season - the newly renamed Be Curious Not Judgmental and Panic and Snooze. This one came down to the late window of games and Monday night, as well as some surprises of the "past utilization does not predict future performance" variety. Who knew Calvin Ridley and Jakobi Meyers had hands, huh? Regardless, Stefon Diggs was an "old reliable" for BCNJ, coming strong out of the gate with over 100 receiving yards and a TD. PAS had a tough matchup and a tough week with a crew of great players who seemed t...

Hey there, everyone!  Do you believe in a thing called fantasy football? Because I sure can't believe that it's time for the 2023 season already! Now, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that we are now on our third straight year of playing in this league together, and I cannot believe that I have been privileged enough to serve as your commish for all this time. From tolerating the lightning-speed drafts to you folks actually reading all my silly recaps, I am just humbled that y'all keep showing up year after year.  So before we all start getting a little competitive and potentially letting the NFL ruin every Sunday we have for the rest of the year, I just wanted to take a moment to say I appreciate y'all. I love this league like Netflix loves making live action anime remakes that no one wants. I guess it's just a passion. See you on the field! Hugs & Kisses, Your Commish
