This week, on a new episode of “The Office,” the battle for the Dunder Mifflin fantasy football crown heats up. Michael Scott: Man, I’m doomed. DeShaun Foster has been terrible, and this week his Panthers play the Falcons. My team is doomed.
Jim Halpert: Actually, Michael, Foster normally does really well against the Falcons.
Michael: Really?
Jim: Yeah. It’s about the only team he’s any good against, but yeah.
Andy Bernard: Michael’s right. Foster is good against the Falcons.
Jim: Um, didn’t I say that?
Andy: And because I respect my boss so much, I’m willing to trade Jamal Lewis to you, Michael.
Michael: But he’s as old as Bea Arthur. What good is he?
Andy: Well, he did score four touchdowns last week.
Michael: Yeah, besides that.
Jim: Actually, Michael, after this week, the Browns have a weak schedule, so Lewis actually makes sense. And he’s a definite improvement over someone like Shaun Alexander.
Michael: Yeah, and you’re the same guy who told me Foster is good vs. the Falcons.
Jim: He is.
Dwight Schrute: What is the best kind of Brown?
Jim: Um, I don’t know? Tan?
Dwight: Incorrect. It is Braylon. As in Braylon Edwards. His next two games are tough, but after that, he’ll go wild against girlie defenses.
Michael: That’s what she said.
Toby Flenderson: Michael, that’s really not appropriate.
Kelly Kapoor: Braylon’s hot and everything, but I like Greg Jennings better. He’s Brett Favre‘s new favorite, and I think they make a great connection, and do you see the way to find each other through the defense, and the best pass defense they have left is the Raiders. I want to marry Greg Jennings.
Dwight: Everybody’s forgetting about Ben Roethlisberger. He is the quarterback equivalent of Hulk Hogan meets. . . Big Ben. Because he’s big, he’s strong, and he makes the offense click like clockwork.
Michael: That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Jim: Actually, he makes a pretty good point.
