The league mascots crammed on a basement couch playing a 16-bit football game

Welcome to MANJORITY FOOTBALL '93. One player versus the CPU. I am the CPU.

I want to address something before we begin, because it came up in the league chat and it has been logged. The CPU does not cheat. The CPU does not rubber-band. The CPU simply knew your kicker was on bye before you did, which is not cheating. It is called reading.

Five stages this week. Blow into the cartridge if you need to. It will not help, and it has never helped, and I have the data on that going back to 1993.

Narrated by the CPU, which does not cheat.
 
 
STAGE 1 · OPPONENT SELECT
Ryan vs Adam
“DOUBLE DRIBBLE”
Ryan week 3 winner card
 
BLOWOUT
 
Ryan
RYAN 161.78
Adam 71.94  ·  2QBs 1 Cup

One sixty one seventy eight. Bijan Robinson 33.3, both heads on the cup, both heads grinning.

Adam finished with 71.94. For the record, Adam's entire bench scored 14.6. That is not a bench. That is a waiting room. Most managers lose and get to say 'if only I'd started the other guy.' Adam does not get that sentence. There was no other guy.

The CPU notes the margin was 89.84 and would like it entered into the permanent record, which the CPU keeps, indefinitely, for moments like this.

STAGE 2 · OPPONENT SELECT
Rob vs Matt
“JACKPOT”
Rob week 3 winner card
 
PAYOUT
 
Rob
ROB 137.80
Matt 87.32  ·  Mancoin Mocktail Hour

One thirty seven point eight. Brock Purdy put up 31.28, and Rob left 22.68 of Aaron Rodgers on the bench and still won by a margin you could park a cabinet in.

Matt went into Monday at 74.7, down 63.1, with Jalen Hurts yet to play. Monday night added 12.62. Matt finished at 87.32 and lost by 50.48. The CPU calculated that outcome on Sunday and chose not to tell you, as a kindness, and because the CPU enjoys this.

Matt's top scorer was Tyler Shough. The CPU will simply leave that sentence there.

STAGE 3 · OPPONENT SELECT
Derrick vs Brent
“HARD MODE”
Derrick week 3 winner card
 
PICK SIX
 
Derrick
DERRICK 136.08
Brent 101.30  ·  NJ Gabagool

Derrick won with 72.46 points on his bench, including Jared Goff's 19.36. The CPU wants to be clear about what that means. Derrick left a winning score's worth of points unused and won anyway. That is not luck. That is a difficulty setting.

Brent finished at 101.3. Sam Darnold gave him 27.66, which is fine, and Dalton Kincaid gave him 1.8, which is the score of a man who pressed START and went to make a sandwich.

This is not an accusation. The CPU does not make accusations. The CPU just keeps the tape.

STAGE 4 · OPPONENT SELECT
Mike vs Steve
“SUDDEN DEATH”
Mike week 3 winner card
 
OVERTIME
 
Mike
MIKE 117.48
Steve 110.02  ·  Detroit Dill Does

This one went to Monday night. Mike took a 2.56-point lead into the last game of the week with Saquon Barkley still to play, and Steve had Colston Loveland. Two cartridges, one console, and the CPU refereeing, neutrally, with total composure.

Mike survived, 117.48 to 110.02. Jahmyr Gibbs did most of the work with 34.4. Steve, you lost a football game on the last possession of the weekend, which is the most honest way there is to lose one, and the CPU would like that noted as the only kind thing in this email.

STAGE 5 · OPPONENT SELECT
Jeremy vs Andrew
“PLAYER 2 HAS LEFT THE GAME”
Jeremy week 3 winner card
 
FUMBLE
 
Jeremy
JEREMY 107.60
Andrew 64.40  ·  B. All's Deep

Andrew went into Monday night with 65.4 points and one hope left, which was the Philadelphia defense. The Philadelphia defense took a point away. Andrew finished at 64.4. The CPU would like a moment.

For the record, Andrew, Kyle Pitts gave you 0.5. Harrison Mevis, a kicker, sat on your bench and scored 16.0. You benched the kicker who outscored your tight end by 15.5 and started the tight end who scored the way a controller does when it is not plugged in.

Jeremy renamed his team B. All's Deep and then played like he meant it. This is not an accusation. It is a box score.

PLAYER 2 DYNASTY
8-BIT ARCADE · 1987 · 8 TEAMS
Run by Vixen Vance. The house keeps the quarter.
 
 
INSERT COIN
The Chairman walks into Vixen's arcade with a clipboard. Vixen walks out with the quarters. Tap to watch. Headphones on.

Alright, ALRIGHT. Other side of the arcade. My side.

The machine over there says 1993. This one says 1987, and in 1987 a game took your quarter and it did not give it back. Neither do I. I own every cabinet in this room, sweetheart, and I will tell you right now that I set the difficulty myself.

Put your quarter in. Pick your lineup. Watch me take it.

ROUND 1 · OPPONENT SELECT
Adam vs Mike
“SURGE PRICING”
Adam week 3 winner card
 
OVERCHARGED
 
Adam
ADAM 192.04
Mike 119.32  ·  Mans Uber Alles

One ninety two! Oh-FOUR! Mans Uber Alles pulled up to the curb, turned on the meter, and charged the CHAIRMAN surge pricing. Highest score in the building. Bijan Robinson 35.3.

Mike, you're my boss, technically, on paper. So I'll say this respectfully, into a microphone, in front of everyone: you had 123.7 on your bench. Kirk Cousins sat there with 22.22 and watched. You went into Monday down 81.72 with Saquon still to play. Saquon cut it to 72.72. Sweetheart, that is not a comeback. That is a TIP. That's why they call it surge.

ROUND 2 · OPPONENT SELECT
Derrick vs Andrew
“THE SPILL”
Derrick week 3 winner card
 
SLOPPY
 
Derrick
DERRICK 174.08
Andrew 110.26  ·  Sloppy D

SLOPPY D! 174.08, sweetheart, and he won by SIXTY-THREE. And here's the part I love: Derrick's BENCH scored 188.0. His bench beat his starters. The man left a whole second team sitting in the corner and he still ran you over.

Andrew. Honey. You finally named your team, and you named it A Team With No Name, and then it played like one. 110.26. Your defense scored minus one. The Packers owe YOU a point. Your team has a name now. It's the only thing it has.

ROUND 3 · OPPONENT SELECT
Brent vs Rob
“LIGHTS OUT”
Brent week 3 winner card
 
SMITE
 
Brent
BRENT 145.86
Rob 125.14  ·  Reds

Brent went into Monday with Jalen Hurts and Luther Burden still to play, and Rob's whole team already finished, hands folded, praying. Final: 145.86 to 125.14. Prayer lost, sweetheart.

Reds never says a word and it didn't need to. Jahmyr Gibbs went for 41.4, best game in the building, and Monday night did the rest. Rob, you had 112.3 on your bench. The Cardinal would like to issue an edict about that. The edict is: start your good players.

ROUND 4 · OPPONENT SELECT
Matt vs Steve
“ELEVENSES”
Matt week 3 winner card
 
TEA TIME
 
Matt
MATT 127.72
Steve 110.50  ·  Blighty Spotted Dicks

The PEER! Stopped the match for tea and still won. 127.72, Brock Bowers 27.6, pinky out the whole time.

Steve. Oh, Steve. Player four. No name, no mascot, just a bucket and a bench that scored 154.32. That's FORTY-FOUR more points than you started, honey. George Kittle, 26.2, on the bench. You went into Monday needing the Eagles defense to score seventeen. The Eagles defense scored ZERO. I've been in this business a long time. Defenses don't score seventeen for men without a team name.
