Lady and the Trampled

Jesse was amazed to find that Europe has Wifi and he was able to edit his, albeit losing, roster.

It may be a Bella Notte in Italy where Jesse and Katherine are vacationing this week, but it hasn't been a Bella Anno for Jesse in fantasy football. 10 months removed from his Brown Jacket win and already Jesse's Championship defense seems like it is finito. There was hardly a time this year when the other DelFL Owners worried that Jesse would keep his crown, only Pertinax's reign was shorter.

Since Jesse's 629 point victory over Murphy's Maulers in week 3 (cue Jeff shaking his head in disbelief), J Smooth has lost 4 straight averaging a DelFL worst 288 points per game. Jesse has had the snake for two consecutive weeks, he remains in the Piss Poor Four & starting week 9 will go through the gauntlet that is the rest of the Devil Division. This is looking more and more like a 2-11 season, which would be the worst title defense ever recorded.

But with all the romantic dinners and the many historical sights Jesse will be experiencing this week, I doubt he is worried about DelFL losses (although there are a lot of Devil Division Owners hoping that Jesse can wake up & play the spoiler role). Is there more to Jesse's recent struggling? I have heard whispers about a certain question that might be popped along the Amalfi Coast. There has been much said about bad luck and curses this year. No matter what Jesse decides to do or say in Italy, like Parker, he already has his jacket.
