Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league

Rhode Island Charge (1-2) d. Toronto Phantoms (1-2)
69-52
First thing’s first: we’re pretty sure the Charge won this time. That being said, “The Charge are hoping for steady Tom Brady to outplay rookie Ben Rothelsberger to take care of things before Monday night.” Which is what actually happened. Rhode Island won here 17-9. I’ll also add that they had the edge in defense with a New York Giants 11. “This matchup doesn't really come to life till Monday night when Priest Holmes of the Charge and Jamal Lewis of the Phantoms settle it.” Rhode Island would’ve won even without Holmes’s 18 on Monday. But things did light up on Toronto’s side, who desperately needed their scores on Monday. This includes their kicker’s 10, Jamal Lewis’s 9, and Ray Lewis’s 6. But with nothing really good on Sunday, The Phantoms fell by the roadside.

Bonecrushers (3-0) d. Koko's X-Cats (2-1)
63-22
The first of this week’s three Ouchie Awards went to the X-Cats. With only their kicker scoring better than 4 points (he had 9), you could see where this one was headed. Everybody had a low score at the exact same time. “…the Bonecrushers could get nice points from Terrell Owens and the Philadelphia Eagles defense.” Both of the aforementioned parties tallied 11 points (that’s a tie already). Byron Leftwich finished the deal with 15.

South Fl Jets (1-2) d. Dunedain (1-2)
67-17
The second of this week’s Ouchie’s goes to Dunedain, who also had it all fall apart. Their QB scored -11. I should probably refrain from anymore comments about Dunedain. So I’ll comment about the Jets, who killed in the running game. Tomlinson and Bettis combined for 25. They also had the Jets defense (no, really, they did) score 23. Nothing could stop South Florida getting their second win in a row.

Cooney Quest (2-1) d. Hurricanes (1-1-1)
33-31
I’ll create a mini-Ouchie Award for this entire game. Four teams this week would’ve beaten these two teams combined. The only actual thing of note this week is covered by Ed already: “Will Eric Moulds break out and come through for the 'Canes?” Yes. He had the high score of this with 12, and the Hurricanes still lost. I suppose we can attribute that to the double byes at RB (though to be fair, the Quest’s RBs had a combined 1). Meanwhile, Cooney’s high score was Vinatieri’s 9. It was, however, enough for them to win. And really, that one in the W column is what matters anyway.

The Shoats (2-0-1) d. This Space for Rent (0-3)
67-30
Believe it or not, this game was closer than it looks (follow me here). The Shoats easily made more mistakes than TSfR. They had three 0’s, including one at a WR spot, and one at QB. What made up for these donuts though was Tiki Barber’s 15, Jason Elam’s 13, and 19 from New England. TSfR had everyone contribute. Unfortunately for them, they had no spectacular players this week. And thusly, they are still winless.

Valleygirls (2-1) d. Coco's Monkeys (3-0)
61-35
It’s a cataclysmic breakdown! How this happened, we will never know. What we do know is that the Monkey’s had a Peyton Manning 13. But then there was a sea of goose eggs and low scores. With the exception of a 0 in the QB position, The Girls played this one to win. They had a 30 throughout the defensive side, and Emmitt Smith added 15. With a dominate conglomerate (hey, that rhymes) of an offense, and a debilitating defense, the Valleygirls cruised to their third straight win.

The Lightning (2-1) vs. Stud Man Clan (1-2)
78-11
Topping of the list of Ouchie’s is the Stud Man Clan. Ed had it correct: “…but the Clan are doing without A WHOLE DEFENSE!!! (and Randy Moss too).” With no career games, we quickly move to The Lightning. Four players would’ve won for them alone. This includes James’s and Andre Johnson’s dual 11s, Rudy Johnson’s 12, and Atlanta’s 20. Simply put, The Lightning had the Clan’s rear ends on a silver platter.

The Borg (0-3) d. Philly Cheesesteaks (2-1)
49-46
This game was actually quite interesting, and I believe I can give another psychic point to Ed. “…the Borg's Marshal Faulk and Brain Westbrook vs. the Cheesesteak's Domanick Davis and Duce Staley could turn up the heat.” It wasn’t exactly heatful (another Eddieism), but it did decide the game. Davis and Staley both put up large circles for Philly. While their K and DEF both put up 14, they couldn’t put up numbers anywhere else. For the Borg, Faulk and Westbrook combined for 15, and their kicker scored 10. Everything else was pretty even, making this possibly the best pound-for-pound matchup of the week. In the end though, The Borg assimilated their first victim of the year.

JC's Juggernauts (1-2) d. Nor Cal Crushers (1-2)
60-36
The underrated Juggernauts looked to right their wrongs (which lately have been in the form of close losses) against the also 1-2 Nor Cal Crushers. The Juggernauts power came from the running game, outscoring the opposition 23-1 in that department. The Crushers only had two 10s with nothing else to brag about. The Juggernauts didn’t have anything truly spectacular either. However, as last year showed us, the teams with players who compliment each other tend to win. And that is exactly what the Juggernauts did.
