(Fantasy Football Fiasco is your be-all end-all review of the week that was in fantasy football. Oh, and a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with fantasy football.)

Points o’ plenty once again during week 8. Ten of thirteen winners racked 30 or more. The Eagles and Saints make sense, but what got into the Titans and Panthers? Vince Young and Jake Delhomme led their teams to victories. 2009 continues to be an enigma.

I’m taking the Fiasco in a different direction this week in order to pay tribute to one of my favorite flicks. That movie would be Office Space. Ten years ago, Mike Judge’s seminal cubicle comedy slipped in and out of theaters without much fanfare. Word of mouth and the advent of DVD helped turn it into a modern-day classic.

Working in an office environment sucks. I did it for a few years and managed to escape with my dignity and common sense still intact. Enduring pointless committee meetings, douchebag bosses, asinine theme days and a general uncaring attitude toward employees is no way to live. I’d rather spend my days writing about sports and movies and pointing out the absurdities of our inept institutions.

Without further ado, here is the best and worst in fantasy football for week 8, Office Space style.

Damn, It Feels Good To Be Brett Favre

Peter Gibbons got tired of his job and stopped going. As reward, he became a muthafu**in’ gangsta. Brett Favre was spat upon by the Packers and forced to wear a Jets uniform for a season, before his purple and gold vengeance wish was granted. In two wins against his old team, Favre tossed for 515 yards, seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. He is currently tied for the most touchdown passes with 16. That’s O.G.

The Two Bobs

A meeting with the Bobs usually ended badly for those on the other side of the table. This dastardly duo stomped souls and crushed dreams and did so with a smile. On Sunday, Chris Johnson humiliated the Jaguars defense by rumbling for 228 yards and a pair of scores. His opposing partner-in-crime, Maurice Jones-Drew, spanked the Titans with 177 yards and two sixers. Both defenses should be fired for such a deplorable workday performance.

Ryan Moats Showed the Bills His “O Face”

Drew was a minor character, but he stole both scenes he was in. Moats was a scene-stealer on Sunday as well. Wait, Ryan Moats still plays in the NFL? I thought he was run out two years ago after flopping horribly with the Eagles. The Texans turned to him early and watched him total 151 yards and three touchdowns. This mid-season cameo was unexpected, but kicked ass nonetheless.

The New York Giants = Office Printer

All offseason, the Giants blabbed about how great they were and how they would show the Eagles who was boss in ‘09. DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Brent Celek took a bat to Big Blue’s mouths to the tune of 186 yards and three touchdowns. The Giants should adopt a policy of less talk, more action.

Reggie Wayne Is Smooth

Peter displays mad game when he picks up Joanna. He exudes confidence and catches her off-guard with his nonchalant attitude. Reggie Wayne has to be the most unassuming superstar in football. He eschews histrionics and instead just balls. The Colts had an off game versus the Niners. Not Reggie. He snagged twelve balls for 147 yards and a touch. Those are pimp-player numbers.

These Guys Have Been Missing A Lot Of Work

Welcome to the end zone! For the first time this season, Steve Smith and Steven Jackson both felt the glory of scoring a touchdown. It’s about time these underachieving losers showed up for work.

Ted Ginn, Jr. Has People Return Skills

The Dolphins have been asking Ted Ginn for three years what exactly he does, besides drop catchable balls and come up small in big games. Turns out he has return skills. His two touchdowns on Sunday actually helped Miami secure a win. Ginn is still a bust and a waste, but he saved his job for another week.

Steve Slaton Needs More Flair

Steve Slaton was warned about his fumbling. After putting another one on the turf, head coach Gary Kubiak ordered him to the pine. More flair would have shown dedication. Slaton thought he could skate with minimal effort. He was wrong. Slaton owners cannot be happy.

Derek Anderson’s Locker Belongs In The Basement

If anyone deserves the Milton treatment, it’s Derek Anderson. I hope the Browns aren’t paying this stiff. He has recorded a sub-40 quarterback rating in four of six games this season. He has thrown nine interceptions to just two touchdowns. He should trade in his helmet and cleats for a red nose and floppy shoes.

The Worst Idea Ever

The NFL equivalent to Tom’s ridiculous “Jump To Conclusions” mat is the Raiders drafting JaMarcus Russell with the number one overall pick. Russell has passed for over 200 yards only twice in ‘09. He has yet to toss for 300 yards during his career. He’s registered at least one pick in 13 of 24 starts. If anyone needs to be downsized, it’s Russell.

Who knew the NFL had so much in common with Initech? You seen one heartless corporation, you seen ‘em all. I’ll be back next week with a more traditional chapter of the Fiasco. Until then….
