Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

OK-i had a pretty bad draft-darn Yahoo CPU. All my players are basically up for grabs, Bledsoe, Barlow, and Davis are the biggest names, so start offering.

Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

FIRST ROBOTICS LEAGUE II
Koko's X-Cats vs. Cooney Quest
Heh.
OK how did the Cooney Quest practically end up with practically the same team as in the first FIRST Robotics FF team? As in the first there are too many Packers and they don't even have the most valueble Packer, Ahman Green. I do.

Rhode Island Charge vs. South Fl Jets
The Holmes/ Thomlinson matchup is the main event but the secondary running backs Foster and Garner could be the difference. Hasselback is going to be a big time player for the Jets but Brady is underrated for some reason.

Dunedain vs. The Shoats
Clinton Portis the the heavy artillary for Dunedain. The Shoats counter with the Indy one-two puch of Harrison and Wayne. If they do well the SHoats have a chance. Their own defense is againt their own recievers though.

Toronto Phantoms vs. Valleygirls
EJ (a friend of mine from @forums) takes on Kristina who looks strange without he personal fantasy football Teddy Bear Daunte Culpepper in tow but Steve McNair is a fine replacement and is certianly better than Garcia. Unfortunately the Valleygirls don't have any backs better than Jamal Lewis and will need the Raven's D to take up the slack for them.


Hurricanes vs. Stud Man Clan
McNabb could make or break the 'canes. Pennigton is more steady when he's healthy. Alexander is a stud for the 'canes but Brown could be the steal of the draft for the Clan.

This Space for Rent vs. Philly Cheesesteaks
The Vick/ Culpepper matchup earns top billing but what Domanic Davis does for the Cheesesteaks and Duece McAllister does for the Renters (and Duce Staley and Thomas Jones to a lesser extent) will probably go further in determing the winner.


Coco's Monkeys vs. Nor Cal Crushers
The Monkey's Manning vs. the Crusher's McCown is an ugly ugly mismatch. If Henry and Taylor run wild in Buffalo for the Crushers things will go more smoothly. The Monkey's are hoping Dillon is revitalized in New England.

The Lightning vs. JC's Juggernauts
It's scary when your best player may be your kicker but no one really sticks out on the Juggernauts but Vnaderjagt really. Of course the best thing going for the Lightning is Rudi Johnson (don't say Marc Bulger. I'm not sold on him yet) so maybe Vanderjagt is all the Juggernauts need.

The Borg vs. Bonecrushers
The Borg could stand to assimilate some better players. Todd Heap is the only constent threat on the roster (Johnson and Faulk are fading and no one knows if Westbrook will last all season. Burress regressed and Kansas City needs to prove that they are willing to tackle people). If Owens and Davis show up and play like they are capable of they may be able to lead the Bonecrushers to victory themselves.

Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

My Yahoo ID has not been letting me log in for the past two weeks, darn SBC Yahoo DSL messing me up. They are still trying to resolve it, so I haven't even seen my team yet. Hopefully I can get back in and make some changes.

Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

wow.. heres your team:

QB B. Favre (GB - QB)
RB G. Hearst (Den - RB)
RB T. Wheatley (Oak - RB)
WR/TE T. HoltQ (StL - WR)
WR/TE D. DriverP (GB - WR)
BN B. Franks (GB - TE)
BN J. Plummer (Den - QB)
BN N. Davenport (GB - RB)
K A. Vinatieri (NE - K)
DEF Green Bay (GB - DEF)
D P. Buchanon (Oak - DB)
D S. TuftsNA (Car - DL)

Not a bad team.. you could unload plummer for a reliable starting running back....


and i'm looking to defend that undefeated streak- this time with culpepper instead of manning, hopefully Daunte will be the peyton of last year

Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

Daunte was the Peyton of last year :)

he scored more fantasy points, and likely will again this year.

Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

As you can tell, scoring has been changed drastically from last season. Quarterbacks (and to a lesser extent, receivers) are no longer the dominant force in the game. Defense now has an actual purpose, and things seem balanced (until you take on a team like the Hurricanes and face a 100+ score; that was just amazing). Of course, I have to say that Koko Ed rocks (and it won’t be the last time I say it this season) for doing the pre-games. And like last year, the post-game falls to me. Onward:

Rhode Island Charge d. South Fl Jets
76-40
The Jets were playing with what could be a good team if everything came together. The problem is it didn’t come together. They were only able to outdo the Charge in receiving (which is quite possibly Rhode Island’s weak point). The Charge had a 25 from Priest Holmes and 21 from Tom Brady. Even a 9 from the kicking position helped as the commissioner’s team slid easily to victory.

Koko's X-Cats d. Cooney Quest
65-39
Cooney had Adam Vinatieri score 10. It’s not good when your only double digit score comes from a kicker. Unable to best the X-Cats anywhere else, the Quest’s game was quickly over Thursday night. Meanwhile, a Monday night performance from Ahman Green (of whom Koko actually does have) scoring 23, combined with a 12 from the Tampa DEF and Alge Crumpler just barely hitting the double digit mark put Koko up top.


The Shoats d. Dunedain
62-33
Ed was right about Dunedain having heavy artillery in Clinton Portis. He scored 13. With that and Pittsburg, Dunedain had 26 points. Not much else can be said (and it doesn’t help that their QB gave a big donut on the board). Of course, I can talk about The Shoats’ Barber taking 15, and Jason Elam nabbing a 12. An 11 Monday night for Jake Delhomme would cap their victory.

Toronto Phantoms d. Valleygirls
61-38
The Valleygirls take a different start then they did last year. It just wasn’t their day. A net of 0 in the receiving department and only one RB performing (Emmitt Smith with 10) severely hindered last year’s top seed. All the Phantoms’ really needed was their impressive defensive showing of 31. Jeff Garcia finished the deal for Toronto, scoring 15.

Hurricanes d. Stud Man Clan
102-46
“McNabb could make or break the 'canes.” Yep, prettymuch with the “make” category. That’s a 30, for those of us counting. “Alexander is a stud for the 'canes…” We’ll also go with “yes” on that. Add 25 for him. I may as well talk about Isaac Bruce’s 12 and Tennessee’s 19. The clan did start to put up a fight with Pennington’s 16 and Moss’s 13. Unfortunately, the fight stopped there. That’s a W and the high score of the week for the Hurricanes.

Philly Cheesesteaks d. This Space for Rent
85-51
I turn to quoting my pre-game counterpart again, who called the right match, but the wrong day. “The Vick/ Culpepper matchup earns top billing…” And it should’ve. But Mike Vick had a bad day for TSfR, only scoring 6 compared to Culpepper’s 35. “…but what Domanick Davis does for the Cheesesteaks and Deuce McAllister does for the Renters will probably go further in determing the winner.” That was definitely correct. With McAllister scoring a mighty goose egg, that left Davis with an (actually) mighty 15. And, as Ed called it, it determined the winner

Coco's Monkeys d. Nor Cal Crushers
66-46
Ed said this was a mismatch, and he was right. It’s not that the Crushers have a bad team; it’s that he also needs things to go right at the right time. The Monkeys surprisingly didn’t win at QB with Manning’s 14, it was won at RB with Quentin Griffin’s 22. The Crusher’s running backs (who probably will make and/or break Nor Cal in the future) combined for 6. They were able to gain a little on the defensive side, but it wasn’t enough.

The Lightning d. JC's Juggernauts
40-33
Closest game of the week. And I really don’t mean that in a good way. It seemed like the teams wanted to give away the victory to the opponent. The only player in the double digits was JC’s Curtis Martin (21). But the Juggernauts seemed the best at giving away the game with nobody else clearing 4 points (and a QB who scored -1). Meanwhile, high points (and I use the term lightly) on The Lightning side of things were Marc Bulger’s 8 and Atlanta’s 9. I imagine both teams will do much better next week.

Bonecrushers d. The Borg
66-36
Proving that resistance definitely isn’t futile, the Bonecrushers lived up to their name. Yes, Ed was correct in stating “The Borg could stand to assimilate some better players…”. Their best effort was by Faulk, who scored 9. Moving on to the Bonecrushers, they had Dunn’s 15 and Owens’s 21 leading them, with a nice auxiliary showing of 11 from Jeff Wilkins and Philadelphia’s 10. That was your ballgame, folks.

And speaking of ballgames, this week’s post-game is done. With no ties, standings are pretty straightforward. And look, here they are!

WEEK 1 RESULTS
Koko's X-Cats 225 Cooney Quest 142
The Quest's realince on the Pack is already hurting them. The X-Cats rode a combined 128 points from their running backs Travis Henry, Chris Brow and Corey Dillon. Chad Pennington led the X-Cats with 63 points. The Quest we're led with 56 by William Green and 46 by Brett Farve but thier recievers were outscored 31-14.

Sparxs1126 239 gaelforce126231
Donovan McNabb took the Sparxs on his shoulders and with his mighty 96 points drove them to victory over gaelforce126. Preist Holmes continued his fantasy football dominace with 81 points for the Sparxs along with 14 points from Mike Alscott, 13 points from Peerless Price and 10 points from the Bills D. gealforce126 was led by Clinton Portis' hearty 79 points, Matt Hasselback's 54 points, Charlie Garner's 25 points, Keyshawn Johnson's 23 points, Hienz Ward's 18 points and Adam Vinetari's 10 points.

boodah25 289 Amaizin' Blue270
boodah25 exploded for the league's top score led by Domanic Davis' 67 points, Duce Staley's 54 points, Drew Bledsoe's 50 points, Kevan Barlow's 41 points, Issac Bruce's 29 points, Alge Crumpler 22 points and Andre Johnson's 10 points. Amaizin' Blue represented themselves well scoring the second highest amount of points in the league led by Quentin Griffin's surprising 71 points, Edgerrin James' 70 points, Brian Westbrook's 47 points, Trent Green's 38 points, Justin McCareins' 13 points and the Pittsburgh Steelers defense 11 points. boodah25's 61 to 27 advantage in the recieving game was the difference.

The Teal Curtain263 ValleyGirls152
The Teal Curtian rode Curtis Martin's resurgance to victory. His 85 points paved the way to the rout.Aaron Brooks added 54 points, Jamal Lewis added 42 points, Daniel Graham 22 points, The Tennesee Titans defense's 19 points, Chris Chamber's 15 points and Ashlie Lelie's 12 points. Daunte Culpepper came through for the Valleygirls once again scoring 87 points. Ron Dayne added 34 but no one else contributed much.

Epsilon Delta219 Paragon571 212
Epsilon Delta snuck by Paragon571 thanks to the effort of it's running backs LaDanian Thomlinson, Eddie George and Kevin Jones who outscored Tiki Barber, Emmit Smith and Moe Williams 121 to 100. Micheal Vick also won the battle of the quaterbacks over Peyton Manning for Epsilon Delta 57-54.

NorCal Crushers216 NU Cowboys 156
The Crushers were led by Ahman Green's 93 points and a 23 - (-2) advantage for the Detriot Lions defense over the Dallas Cowboys defense. The Crushers got 35 points from Steve McNair, 20 points from Chad Johnson, 14 points from LJ Smith and 12 points from Jimmy Smith and Kevin Johnson. The Cowboys got 38 points from Tommy Maddox, 37 points from Fred Taylor, 26 points from Tyrone Wheatley, 18 points from Torry Holt, 15 points from Steve Smith bfore he broke his leg and 12 points from Jason Elam.

Dunedain212 Sigmakittens 189
Dunedain used a 107-36 from running backs Thomas Jones and Duece McAllister over Willis McGahee and DeShawn Foster. Dunedain also got 55 points from Marc Bulger, 22 points from Antionio Gates, 12 points from the Seattle Seahawks defense and 10 points from Joey Porter. The Sigmakittens got 50 points from Byron Leftwich, 23 points from Randy Moss, 22 points each from Marvin Harrison and Todd Heap, 18 points from Darrell Jackson and 11 points from Jeff Wilkins.

ryforstek525 255 Pelan's Bobcats241
ryforstek525 used a 58-25 scoring advantage from recievers Eric Moulds, Amani Toomer and Randy McMicheal over Joe Horn, Erin Kinney and the unfortunate Charles Rogers who fell before he was able to contribute. ryforstk525 had balnced scoring led by Jeff Garcias's 57 points, Marshal Faulks 56 points,Warrick Dunn's 53 points, and Stephen Davis' 22 points. Pelans Bobcats were led by Shaun Alexnader, who was on a roll scoring 85 points before going down to injury. Brad Johnson added 59 points and Rudi Johnson added 55 points.

LEAGUE I WEEK II ANALYSIS
 

Koko's X-Cats (1-0) vs. Pelan's Bobcats(0-1)
Both teams are sporting major injuries at running back with Shaun Alexander hurting for the Bobcats and Chris Brown for the X-Cats. The X-Cats have a big advantage at quarterback and that could be the difference.

Sparxs1126(1-0) vs. boodah25 (1-0)The Sparx could ride on the shoulders of McNabb and Holmes to victory. boodah25 needs big time production from running backs Kevan Barlow and Domanic Davis to stay close.

gaelforce126(0-1) vs. Cooney Quest(0-1) This is the week when the Quest's heavy leaning on the Pack could pay nice dividens getting the Bears at home. It hurts them to have two starting running backs who are a bad quarter away (or a good quarter by somebody else) from riding the pine. gaelforce126 will rely on Matt Hasselback and Clinton Portis to power them to victory.

ValleyGirls(0-1) vs. Amaizin' Blue (0-1)The Valleygirls are basically leaning on Daute Culpepper carrying the team to victory. If Amazin' Blue's three backs Edgerrin James, Quentin Griffin and Brian Westbrook perform as well as they did last week this one won't even be close.

Paragon571 (0-1) vs. The Teal Curtain(1-0) I don't know if Curtis Martin can give the Teal Curtain another 190+ yard performance but I am willing to bet they'll get more out of Jamal Lewis this week. Tiki Barber is ok for Paragon571 but Emmit Smith is only adequet at this stage of his career. They will rely on Peyton Manning and Terell Owens to take up the slack.

NU Cowboys (0-1) vs. Epsilon Delta (1-0)Epsilon Delta will lay thier hopes on the arm and legs of Micheal Vick and the legs of LaDanian Thomlinson. Those two are far better than anyone the Cowboys have who turn to A.J. Feeley to start at quarterback and hope Fred Taylor and Tyrone Whetley will be enough at running back. They may need Torry Holt, Koren Robinson and Jeremy Shockey to save the day.

Sigmakittens (0-1) vs. NorCal Crushers (1-0) DaShon Foster could be quite a sleeper this week for the kittens going agaisnt the porous Chiefs D (at til they finally succumb and fall hopeleely behind and abandon the run) but whether he can match the Crusher's Ahman Green remains to be seen (most unlikely). Moss, Harrison, Heap and Jackson may have to rescue them and the kittens could use a better effort from Byron Leftwich as well. It wouldn't hurt the Crusher's to get better production out of Steve McNair.

ryforstek525 (1-0) vs. .Dunedain (1-0) ryforstek525 will miss Stephen Davis terribly. Can Marshall Faulk and Warrick Dunn pick up the slack? Perhaps Jeff Garcia is the answer. Can Marc Bulger manage to control his turnover problem? If McAllister and Gates produce it won't really matter.

League II Analysis
 

Koko's X-Cats (1-0) vs. Rhode Island Charge (1-0)
The Ahman Green/ Preist Holmes matchup is the heavyweight matchup here and the Arron Brooks/ Tom Brady hookup is the undercard so where is the advantage? Perhaps in the reciever matchup where the X-Cats boast Alge Crumpler and up and comming Antonio Gates and the Charge have Chris Chambers and Joe Horn.

South Fl Jets (0-1) vs. Bonecrushers (1-0)
To put it simply the BOnecrushers are in trouble with Stepehn Davis being out and LaDanian Thomlinson playing for the Jets. They need a big big game from Byron Leftwich to make up the slack or at least to match Matt Hasselback's production and hope to squeak out a victory (Terrell Owens having a huge Monday night would be nice).


Dunedain (0-1) vs. Cooney Quest (0-1)
Dunedain got the advantage with Clinton Portis and Lamar Gordon over a hurting Garrison Hearst and Tyrone Wheatley (who could get alot points from one yard plunges).

Toronto Phantoms (1-0) vs. The Shoats (1-0)
The Phantoms will have an angry Jamal Lewis looking to make amends running for them while Tiki Barber could find the going pretty tough against the 'skins for The Shoats and Duckett still sharing carries with Dunn to limit his fantasy production. How the Colts passing game goes today could determine the game as the SHoats have both Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.

Hurricanes (1-0) vs. Valleygirls (0-1)
The 'canes will miss Alexander but the Valleygirls don't really have anyone at running back to take advantage and will look to Steve McNair to lead them but the 'canes have Donvan McNabb who is in line for a massive Monday night.

This Space for Rent(0-1) vs. Stud Man Clan (0-1)
The Clan is hanstrung with an empty roster spot and the possibility of doing without Chris Brown. The 1-2 punch of Micheal Vick and Duece McAllister may be enough to take out the Clan. Depends on how big Pennington and Barlow produce for the Clan.

Philly Cheesesteaks (1-0) vs. Coco's Monkeys (1-0)
It doesn't get better than Peyton Manning vs. Daunte Culpepper but the running game almost always settles the matter and the Monkey's Corey Dillon and Quentin Griffin vs. the Cheessteaks Duce Staley and Domanic Davis will probably do just that.

The Lightning ( 1-0) vs. Nor Cal Crushers (0-1)
The Crusher's two backs are hurting and their quarterback is facing the slick Patriots D. The Lightning's two running backs face nasty opposition from two run stuffing D. James vs. the Titans and Johnson vs. the 'phins. If Bulger can control his turnovers he may be enough to take the Lightning over the top.

The Borg (0-1) vs. JC's Juggernauts (0-1)
Having a washed up Eddie George, a still trying to prove he's back Curtis Martin and rookie Eli Manning is not a good way for the Juggernauts to seek victory . Not that Brad Johnson and Marshall Faulk are spring chickens but Brain Westbrook could move the Borg to the top.

Week II Results
 

Week 2 is done. An interesting factoid is half the teams that lost last week won, and vice-versa. Results:

Koko's X-Cats (1-0) d. Rhode Island Charge (1-0)
58-54
The annual pre-game vs. post-game match ends with pre-game taking a 2-0 lead in this rivalry. Rhode Island’s receivers had a turnaround from last week, combining for 19. But Holmes and Brady also had a turnaround from last week, neither one of them hitting double digits (and had they kept Strahan in, they would’ve tied). While not very impressive in the offensive scoring (save Aaron Brooks’s 24, which is probable cause for victory), the X-Cats were able to step it up with a kicker scoring 9 and a defensive effort of 18. The X-Cats are starting strong in their title defense, while the commissioner may be starting his losing streak early this year.


Bonecrushers (1-0) d. South Fl Jets (0-1)
63-31
No one player on the Bonecrushers put in something amazing. But let’s face it: they didn’t need it. Everyone is pulling their weight, making this a very impressive scoring. They were led by Warrick Dunn’s 14. The Jets had a Tomlinson score of 13 leading them. Then add three 0s, and the next best score was a 6. It’s easy to see how the Bonecrushers lived up to their name for the second week in a row.


Cooney Quest (0-1) d. Dunedain (0-1)
42-32
This wasn’t the greatest game all week, but it did have its good points. Alright, it was Adam Vinatieri’s 11 and Torry Holt’s 12 on the Quest side of things, but that was enough to make it interesting. Dunedain had only one player above 5 points, so it was prettymuch a shoe-in that Cooney would win.


The Shoats (1-0) d. Toronto Phantoms (1-0)
63-49
I don’t think Jeff Garcia’s -6 helped the Phantoms. Jamal Lewis pulled in 15, and the defense’s 25 seemed like it could offset their QB. But The Shoats just outright played better. Delhomme actually had positive points (15), and Toronto’s defense equaled The Shoats’ total in that area. The rest just pulled itself together.

Valleygirls (0-1) d. Hurricanes (1-0)
55-53
If the Valleygirls had one critical weakness this season, it’s that Steve McNair is not at his greatest this season. Luckily, Matt Stover stepped up with 12, and Baltimore joined in with 22. Of course, the Hurricanes weren’t a pushover with McNabb putting up 23 on Monday. But while everyone else played pretty well, they fell 2 points short of the Girls this week.

Stud Man Clan (0-1) d. This Space for Rent (0-1)
75-45
Okay, nobody would be able to defeat the Clan this week. A 30 from his RBs was added to Pennington’s 17 and Dallas’s 16. TSfR came with its Mike Vick 14 and Tom Jones’s 13. But if you’re following the math currently, the rest of the game correlates like this. While not a terrible game for TSfR, he had the Clan this week. ‘Nuff said.

Coco's Monkeys (1-0) d. Philly Cheesesteaks (1-0)
60-51
It’s the game that stoink built! ::cue special "stoink" sound effect:: This story is all about the fumble, and how it changed the score in the Monkeys’ favor. I’ll be frank, Coco didn’t win the game (even though I’ll give them props with a Manning 17 and a Seattle 19); Philly lost it. Dominick Davis, who did pretty well last week, lost the ball twice. But what this really came down to was that epic fumble at the goal line late Monday night by Daunte Culpepper. That’s -9 from the fumbles, and I’ll even call an effective -6 for Culpepper not scoring on that play. Murphy’s Law was mean to the Cheesesteaks (and to This Space for Rent, but that’s another story entirely ;)), and it literally cost them the game.

The Lightning (1-0) d. Nor Cal Crushers (0-1)
68-43
“The Crusher's two backs are hurting and their quarterback is facing the slick Patriots D.” Ed was exactly right here, with a combined total of 3 between the three. Hope came with a defensive 25, but the Crushers hit the same roadblock they hit last week; they all needed to come together at the same time, and they didn’t. But you also can’t discount the Lightning’s great performance. Their defense scored 26, James scored 18, and Andre Johnson scored 10. They go to 2-0.

JC's Juggernauts (0-1) d. The Borg (0-1)
63-39
The Juggernauts were finally fulfilling their namesake, taking down The Borg faster than Brannon Braga ever could. Their big disadvantage is the fact that their QB isn’t playing, but Martin’s 18 and Ward’s 14 made that a moot point. The Borg tried to combat JC with Jay Feely scoring 10 and Kansas City’s 11, but an even worse score at QB (-3) and nearly non-existent receiving gave them no chance.

Also, if you notice the fantasy scores, three of the eight 1-1 teams have better fantasy scores than all five 2-0 teams. Could this mean fantasy points are what determines the final few playoff spots? I know this is only week 2, but still, one can wonder. Tune in next week.

boodah25 (2-0)250 Sparxs1126(1-1)211
boodah25 got past Sparxs1126 due to a 113-41 (all by Preist Holmes) advatage in the running game in spite of Donovan McNAbb's explosive 92 point game. Drew Bledsoe's 65 points (good thing they don't penalize for sacks :p ) to neutralize McNabb's advatage. boodah25 got 15 points from the St. Louis Rams defense, 12 points from Andre Johnson, 11 points Champ Bailey and 10 points from David Akers. Sparxs1126 got alot help from the D with 34 points from the Buffalo Bills D, 22 points from LaVarr Arrington and 12 ponts from Dwight Freeney.

gaelforce126(1-1) 242 Cooney Quest(0-2) 176
The Quest got prodcution from it's Packers (132 of it's 176 points. Mostly from Farve who had 81) but not much else from anyone else. A 97 - 40 advantage in the running gmae was more than enough to seal the deal for gaelforce. Gaelforce got 57 points from Matt Hasselback, 39 points from the Jacksonville Jaguar's D, 24 points from Brain Dawkins, 16 points from Hines Ward and 11 points from Adam Vineteri.

ValleyGirls(1-1) 304Amaizin' Blue (0-2)218
The Valleygirls are basically leaning on Daute Culpepper carrying the team to victory.
Ask and you shall recieve. As in 149 points. A 31-18 advatage in the reciving game also helped the Valleygirls. Amaizin' Blue got an 88- 18 advatage in the running game but also sport a 94 - 42 deficency (the Baltimore Ravens D outscored them with 57 points). Trent Green added 63 points for Amaizin' Blue.

The Teal Curtain(2-0)309 Paragon571 (0-2)251
The Teal Curtian used a 145 - 72 advantage in the running game and a 40-13 advantage in the recieinvg game (29 points for Daniel Graham) to compensate for Peyton manning scoring a 96-71 advatage over Tom Brady and a 56-33 in the defense.

Epsilon Delta (2-0)279 NU Cowboys (0-2) 206
Epsilon Delta rode a 123 - 55 running back advatage to victory. They also got 83 points from Micheal Vick, 47 points from the Miami Dolphins D and 17 points from Mike Vrable. The Cowboys got a surprising 77 points from AJ Feeley(don't ask me how. I thought he was terrible) They also got 45 points from the Dallas Cowboys defense and 12 points from Torry Holt.

NorCal Crushers (1-0) 301Sigmakittens (0-1) 173
THe Crushers crushed the kittens with MCanir's hearty 95 points, the Detriot Lion's defense 78 points, Ahman Green's 52 points, Zach Thomas' 36 points, Donte Stallworth's 11 points and LJ Smith's 10 points. DeShaun Foster ran wild all over the pourous KC defense that somehow still scored 26 points for the kittens and even more strangely Byron Leftwich scored 39 points from his minimal offesive output. What's really wierd is that Randy Moss only contributed 9 points!!!

Dunedain (2-0) 291 ryforstek525 (0-2) 186
Marc Bulger outscored Jeff Garcia 96-34 for Dunedain to pave tha way for an easy victory. A 104-82 running game advatage and a 78-53 defensive advatage finished off ryforstek525 who need to think about getting a defensive player.

LEAGUE I WEEK III ANALYSIS
 

Koko's X-Cats (2-0) vs. Dunedain (2-0) The X-Cats are in HUGE TROUBLE as the main contributors to thier dominace are sitting out this week on a bye and they are forced to go with untested backups and supporting players to come through. Chris Brown will have to overcome the unreal Jacksonville Jaguars run defense for the X-Cats to survive. Dunedain is missing Duece McAllister but may see big things out of Thomas Jones and Lamar Gordon this week.

Sparxs1126(1-1) vs. ValleyGirls(1-1)It's the Sparxs Donovan McNabb vs. the Valleygirls Daunte Culpepper. With the Sparxs Preist Holmes hurting it may be up to the recievers to decide this one.

gaelforce126(1-1) vs. boodah25 (2-0)boodah25 is sleeping at the wheel with their starting QB and a reciever on a bye they haven't put in the backup. With Matt Hasselback and Tatum Bell getting a free shot at boodah25 it could be a loooong week for them.

Paragon571 (0-2) vs. Amaizin' Blue (0-2) Edgerrin James may still play for Amazin' Blue but how effect he will be reamins to be seen. Ironically hos effectiveness will effect Paragon571's Peyton Manning's effectiveness one way or another.

NU Cowboys (0-2) vs. The Teal Curtain(2-0)
The Teal Curtain is sporting big time advantages at quarterback (Arron Brooks over AJ Feeley) running back (teammates Jamal Lewis and Chester Taylor vs. Fred Taylor and Tyrone Whetley). The COwboys also have a reciever on bye and have not put in the backup.

Sigmakittens (0-2)vs. Epsilon Delta (2-0)Both teams have players on bye but the kittens are without DeShaun Foster and Epsilon Delta is only without Mike Vrable. The kittens bigger concern is thier quarterback, the ineffivcinet Byron Leftwich vs. the spectacular Micheal Vick for Epsilon Delta.

ryforstek525 (0-2) vs. NorCal Crushers (2-0) ryforstek525 had Eric Moulds on bye and an unemployed player on defense and a backup to the Crushers star running back (Nahjhe Davenport to Ahman Green). Anything from Steve McNair is gravy for the Crushers.

Pelan's Bobcats(1-1) vs. Cooney Quest(0-2) The Quest could feed off of the Pack moving the ball alot on the less-than-inspiring Colts D. Besides missing their kicker who is on a bye the Bobocats are also very hurt and will need the Johnsons (Brad and Rudi) to come through for them in a big way.

how about analysis for the other leauge?

League II Week 3 Analysis
 

Koko's X-Cats (2-0) vs. South Fl Jets (0-2)
There are some very interesting matchups in this game. The X-Cats got Arron Brooks. The JEts got Matt Hasselback. The X-Cats got Ahman Green. The Jets got LaDamian Thomlinson. The X-Cats got Alge Crumpler. The Jets got his Falcons teammate Peerless PRice. Ultimately it comes down to which secondary running back produce. Anthony Thomas for the X-Cats or Charlie Garner for the Jets.

Rhode Island Charge (1-1) vs. Dunedain (0-2)
Holmes is hurting for the Charge and I am at a loss to really find where the scoring will come from (who the heck is Josh Scobey?). If Clinton Portis can produce for Dunedain they may be able to get out with a win in this one.

Toronto Phantoms (1-1) vs. Cooney Quest (1-1)
Besides the Quest missing thier kicker (who is on a bye) and using an unemployed defender the Phantoms have Jamal Lewis running on a Bengals D that doesn't quite remind people of the Ravens D Marvin Lewis authored in 2000. It's up to Farve to save the Quest's bacon.

Hurricanes (1-1) vs. The Shoats (2-0)
The Canes are missing Eric Moulds (who is on a bye) and Shaun Alexander is hurting but they still have Donovan McNabb. The Shoats are going with David Carr but also have the Colts recieivng battery.

This Space for Rent(0-2) vs. Valleygirls (1-1)
McNair will be heavily depended on to defeat a tough Jags D so that could be very good news for the Valleygirls who also could benefit from the Ravens D taking on an unexperienced quarterback. The Renters have Vick running all over the sad Cardnals D but what Thomas Jones does against the Vikings D may be the ultimate factor.

Coco's Monkeys (2-0) vs. Stud Man Clan (1-1)
The Clan have hamstrung themselves with a blank representing the defense and Chad Penningotn on a bye and no backup in sight. The Monkey have Peyton Manning and unless he has an absolutely awful day they won't need any other help.

The Lightning ( 2-0) vs. Philly Cheesesteaks (1-1) vs.
The Lightning have issues. Marc Bulger does not match the production that Daunte Culpepper has. Edgerrin James is hurting and his kicker and one of his defenders are on a bye. It also doesn't help that the Cheesesteak's Doamanic Davis gets his turn at the non-exostant KC defense. The Lightning will count on the Johnsons (Rudi, Keyshanwn and Andre) to bail them out.

The Borg (0-2) vs. Nor Cal Crushers (1-1)
Which disappointing quarterback is going to come through for their team? The Borg's Brad Johnson or the Crushers Trent Green. Maybe the Borg's Marshal Faulk or the Crushers Fred Taylor will settle it.

JC's Juggernauts (1-1)vs. Bonecrushers (2-0)
A constant theme this week is bye week slacking. The Juggernauts continue that with a non existnant defensive player and Curtis Martin on a bye. Terrell Owens and the Philadelphia D could put the Bonecrushers over the top.
