Week 9: Another tie

From Barrels owner Chris Traczek:

The Creighton Barrels and Ulan Bator Khans battled to a 43-43 tie in Finks League action this week.

 

The deciding play was Marques Colston's TD catch in Monday night's game, which allowed the Khans to escape with a draw. Both owners can lament a whole slew of "what-if's": If Dalton throws for one more yard, the Khans win; if Green has one more yard receiving yard, the Barrels win, and to make it worse, for a moment Green was over the 100-yard mark, but that play was called back by a penalty. If the Khans start Fitzgerald (who had a TD catch) instead of Gonzalez (who had 0 points) they win; if the Barrels start Steve Smith (who had a TD catch) instead of Julio Jones (who had 5 points), they win. So, I guess with all of that in mind, a tie is a fair outcome. Still doesn't do anything to soothe the Finks-induced ulcer, which prompted this quip from Khans owner D.J. Wanberg: "During football season, I buy my Pepto-Bismol at Costco in the five-gallon drum. It's only $1.13."
