Kerplunk

Don’t let the RBs fall It feels like a lifetime ago when Bo’s backfield was being touted as perhaps the greatest ever. Miller’s was a diner serving shakes instead of steaks. Chalky’s Billiards & Entertainment (it is seriously called that now) was still the Yucatan. Tom Drake hadn’t chopped down one FCC tree. St. Michael’s basketball was a powerhouse and Brandon Walker was a virgin who tossed 3 pointers into scoreboards. Boner was Justin. Sqwid was Jeremy. Tony didn’t have a Brown Jacket…

Well, I guess some things don’t change, but the invincibility charm of Bo’s magical backfield has just been unraveled with a recent revelio spell that makes the DelFL’s top ranked team look as outdated as a Donnell Atom.

Yet, in this game of RB Kerplunk, there are still many sticks to pull.

Jealousy for healthy rosters is a natural reaction to this perpetual purge of star RBs that has now enveloped the top 4 picks (all RBs) of the 2021 DelFL draft. 3 of which are sidelined for at least the rest of the regular season (McCaffrey is done for good, as well as his Top 10 guaranteed draft status next year). The afflicted contenders are gazing menacingly at their relative healthy counterparts. King Gwil, according to sources, has paid a witchdoctor in Port Townsend to lay a Macbethian curse on Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon, AJ Dillon & Miles Sanders.

Metaphysical mischief will ultimately fail, royal or not, but it doesn’t stop the game from being played. There are plenty of sticks left and it’s time for the healthy to pull.
