Wow... Cooney broke 90. What I said last week about them is less true now. Review:

This Space for Rent (0-5) d. Rhode Island Charge (3-2)
77-45
“Is this the week the Renters break through? The Charge are missing a defense, and though the Charge have the great Priest Holmes, the Renters could win the matchup if Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore perform.” Right on from the start. If Rhode Island was fully charged, they may have stood a chance. But TSfR’s aforementioned players, along with a 20 from Vick and an 18 from Buffalo, put this game out of reach for the Charge.

Toronto Fumblers (1-4) d. Koko's X-Cats (3-2)
65-56
If you look at each of the scoring categories, this game was pretty close. Their quarterbacks had 15 each. The running game was less spectacular, but ended with the Cats taking it 11-9. Then we switch things around to receiving, where Toronto won by 4. The X-Cats tried to make a last stand with its kicker, outscoring the opponent’s by 5, but it ended there, with the Fumbler’s defense scoring 24 (12 more than Koko). A surprising lack of fumbles stops Toronto’s landslide with a win.

South Fl Jets (3-2) d. Hurricanes (1-3-1)
50-29
How are the Jets winning four in a row? This game is a good example. Granted, the Hurricanes are low on the scoring list (Shaun Alexander was their only player to hit double digits for them this week), but the Jets still showed us how it's done. First off, Jerome Bettis keeps making touchdowns from the one yard line. Consistency. He gets supplemented by LaDanian Thomlinson. Add a 10 from one of his receivers. Then there’s the Jets defense (no, I mean it, they have the NY Jets as their defensive team), which on its good days, will provide the rest of what South Florida needs. That’s four straight for them.

Bonecrushers (4-1) d. Dunedain (1-4)
74-55
Believe it or not, the Bonecrushers were not at their top form. But not to worry, they had Byron Leftwich’s 27 and Philadelphia’s 21. Dunedain was at its top form too, with Tony Gonzalez and Derrick Brooks each nabbing 10. But when their quarterback scored -1, you knew it was over.

Cooney Quest (4-1) d. Coco's Monkeys (3-2)
93-56
Okay, I take back everything bad I ever said about Cooney Quest. “Strangely the Packer reliance is working for them in this league.” Um, YEAH! Let’s name them: Brett Favre (17), Donald Driver (17), and Green Bay (13). That’s 47 right there. Torry Holt added 18, and Adam Vinatieri tallied 13. Not much else happened, but really, how much more do you need? That’s five straight.

The Lightning (3-2) d. The Shoats (4-0-1)
41-25
Wow… you know, for two of the higher scoring teams in the league, this was a snooze-fest. High for The Shoats: New England with 10. Highs for The Lightning: Marc Bulger with 11 and Keyshawn Johnson with 9. Highs of this entire game: not much, really. Maybe the fact that The Shoats had two important players on byes. Nonetheless, we’ve lost our last undefeated team.


The Borg (1-4) d. Valleygirls (4-1)
43-13
I’ll go out in say it: the Valleygirls had a cataclysmic collapse due to 3 important players on byes. Meanwhile, The Borg weren’t much better (although how good do you have to be to beat 13), but they delivered when they needed to. In fact, their running game of 19 would’ve won on its own. The Valleygirls get assimilated for the first time since week one.

JC's Juggernauts (2-3) d. Stud Man Clan (2-3)
81-39
Just when you think the Juggernauts are on a freefall to the basement, they pull an 81 out of their bag. I’ll start with their running game worth 32. Brian Griese helped with a 14 on the scoreboard. Even their defense was solid, pitching in 27. All the Clan had was Randy Moss’s 10. The Juggernauts proved to be unstoppable this week.

Philly Cheesesteaks (3-2) d. Nor Cal Crushers (2-3)
71-51
“The Cheesesteaks possess the amazing Daunte Culpepper.” 33. That outscored the Crushers’ QB by 18. The kicker also had 14. While Nor Cal’s running game of 12 was drastically better than Philly’s, they couldn’t hold up anywhere else. This makes Philly 4-2.
