Nor Cal Crushers (1-5) d.
R.I. Electrons(3-3)
95-92
"The Electrons are hurting, literally. All of their offensive starters are banged up and some are game time decisions. If they do play they are supeior to what the Crushers have but the Crushers are mostly healthy and if they perform could steal this game away." That prettymuch was the story. While Priest Holmes was able to pull in 15 on Monday for the Electrons, and Rodney Harrison yanked 13 against Miami, none of it was enough to make up for the lack of the injured (game-time decision) Eric Moulds, who, had he played, would've probably scored the 4 points needed for victory. I suppose Nor Cal's Quincy Carter scoring 39 didn't help Rhode Island's cause any either.
Philly Cheesesteaks (6-0) d.
Koko's X-Cats (5-1)
126-101
You'd figure Aaron Brooks's 48 and Michael Pittman's 12 would be enough to put the Cats over the top. But these are the Cheesesteaks we're talking about. While nothing in particular was too spectacular for Philly (save Minnesota's 21), they did have five players in double digits (and two in the 20's), and everyone elase except for the receivers and the kicker were in the high single digits. Conglomeration is the key word here. Philly showed us how it was done.
ValleyGirls (5-1) d.
-To Be Determined- (3-3)
131-62
With only the QB scoring in double digits for TBD (and a measly 19, at that), they were slim pickings for the ValleyGirls' six players in double digits, including Daunte Culpepper's 36, and a combined defensive effort of 56. Maybe I shouldn't mention the Girls' 26 in the running game.
Dunedain (4-1-1) vs.
Bane(2-4)
Draw
66-66
Dunedain would've been better off benching the QB Joey Harrington, who contributed a -3. That's the story of this low scoring (albeit interesting) game. High notes for Dunedain: Brian Westbrook's 20 and Terrell Owens's 15. High notes for Bane: Garrison hearst with 12, and Cleveland's 10. Another tie on Dunedain's record!
Cooney Quest(3-2-1) d.
29 Patriots (1-5)
90-52
"Can Brett Farve overcome his personal Waterloo for the Quest?" Yes he can, with a nice 36.
"Can Donovan Mc Nabb regain his form for the Patriots?" Nope, with a lousy 6 points.
"Is anyone going to provide support in the running game for either team?" Not really. In fact, the only RB who scored was the Pats' Warrick Dunn with 10.
"Most likely the biggest stud today will be the Quests Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense which is rounding into it's usual terrifying self." No, but they helped the Quest with 13. Thank you Ed, for making my job a little easier.
CB234 (4-2) d.
Scrawny White Guys (1-5)
108-57
Another story of a victor having nothing too spectacular, but a great coalition. Six players were in double digits for CB for a combined 91. Shaun Alexander pulled off a better-than-decent 19 for the White Guys, but that was about it. Five of his players put up nothing (literally). Lets recap: CB has six plaers in double digits, the Guys have five players with 0. Math majors, do your work.
Coco's Monkeys (1-5) d.
Hurricanes (4-2)
75-71
"I'm smelling upset here!" Hell yeah, and a dramatic one at that. Everyone was able to contribute something to the Monkeys' game (except for a lowly defender), including a running game worth 22, and (here's the drama) Trent Green's 17 on Monday. While Jeff Garcia outdid that with 24, nobody else broke through for the Hurricanes. A dramatic upset in the making.
Your Team Name (5-1) d.
Snowballs (2-4)
95-79
You ever think the Snowballs need a quarterback? Chad Pennington's absence again cost them. Yes, they did have a running total of 24, a receiver scored 17, and Tennesee put up 22. Unfortunately, only four other players scored something, and they were all in single digits. Playing one RB short, YTN was able to capitalize on the receivers' 23, Bledsoe's 21, Scot Fujita's 13, and Seattle's 11.
Chesapeake Cruisers (3-3) d.
Pinman(0-6)
109-85
This has got to be frustrating for Pinman. A good game put off only by a better game leaves them still winless. If we go a little deeper, we can also see that he had no running game, and only one receiver scored. Pretty good the rest of the way, but the Cruisers had a QB tke in 42, and two others in double digits. He was also pretty good all around too.
