WEEK 4 SCHEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(2-2) vs. wst Coast Style(0-4)
It's business as usual for wst Coast Style. Two blank spots on the roster thanks to a bye. Outside of Donovan McNabb the roster doesn't really scare anybody and the X-Cats Marc Bulger gets his favorite victim the Seahawks in the dome so he may outperform McNabb.



Jc's Evil Empire(3-1) vs. Dogs in the Bathtub(1-3)
While the Evil Empire look to rebound from their crushing defeat last week the Dogs are looking to roll over by leaving roster spots blank giving the Evil Empire more help then they probably need.

Nor Cal Crushers(3-1) vs. Cromer Angry Smash!(4-0)
The league leading Smash are facing anotehr tough match agianst the Crushers who are very tough with Carson Palmer and Shaun Alexnader who the Smash are hoping the Seahawks fall way behind the Rams and play catch up all day. the Smash's Farve is running out of recievers but he gets a soft defense to throw on and his two backs Edgerrin James and Stephen Davis could have big days.

Tomahawks(2-2) vs. sigmakittens(0-4)
The Tomahawks could just beat the kitties to death with Peyton Manning who gets to use a Niners D that made Josh McCown look like well, Peyton Manning. He could end up outscoring the kitties himself.


Cooney Quest(1-3) vs. Stevies Scapegoats(3-1)
Delhomme and MArvin Harrison get to feast on weak sisters and could put up big time points for the Scapegoats but the fly in the ointment could be the Quest's Ronnie Brown who is playing the leagues worst rush defense in Buffalo and could be in line for a big day. If anyone else steps up an upset could be in the making.

Beckham Pwns All(2-2) vs. Mechanicatz(3-1)
Both teams are missing significant contributors on their rosters due to a bye, Randy Moss for the MEchanicatz and Tiki Barber for Beckham. I think Barber will be missed more. Beckham might also be going without a quarterback with JP Losman being shown the bench. If Bledsoe doesn't spend all day on his back and makes some plays it could be pretty easy for the Mechanicatz.

Tolman(1-3) vs. Pelan's Bobcats(1-3)
The resurgent clowns are going to have to fight for their right to party with Anthony Wright as their quarterback and the innefective JJ Arrington and the as so far invisible Kevin Jones as their starting backs. The Bobcats have a suddenly desperate Tom Brady for their quarterback and a good backfield of Corey Dillon and RUdi Johnson but they'll have to work agianst tough defenses on the road and they have to make up for Pelan's negligance and cover for the undermanned D. That may be too much to ask.

WBI-461(4-0) vs. [ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(2-2)[/color]
While Tolman could be looking at a significant advantage in the quarterback matchup particularly if the Seahawks fall behind and MAtt Hasselback has to throw all day and David Carr spends all day running for his life instead of making plays. WBI-161 has better backs with Duece McALlister and Steven Jackson over Packers backup Travis Fisher and CLinton Portis who could find it tough sledding in Denver.

WEEK 5 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats (2-2) vs. The Tacoites (1-3)
The X-Cats roster has been ravaged by byes but they spots have been filled in while the Tacoites are missing Shockey and have non-perfomers on defense thus missing a tremendous opportunity to gain an easy victory.

Rhode IslandVoltaic (4-0) vs. QC Elite (0-4)
Peyton Manning could outscore the Elite all by himself this week. It prebably doesn't even matter that the GInats D is on a bye this week. IT wouldn't save them anyways.


Nor Cal Crushers (3-1) vs. Stevies Scapegoats (1-3)
LaDaninin Thomlinson probably won't run wild for the Crushers this week on the Steelers but he is big time all the same and interestingly the Scapegoats have his opposite Fast Willie Parker on their side and he could end up having the bigger night but the Scapegoats have no answer for Brian Westbrook.

Dunedain (1-3) vs. [/b] Pelan's Bobcats (1-3)
The Bobcats are dead because they have no quarterback this week because he's on a bye and Drew Brees can dictate his score. True they have Shaun Alexander but if his team does what they usually do in St. Louis and falls behind his effectiveness will be limited.

FIRSTforce (4-0) vs. hurricanes (1-3)
The Canes have the best player in football on their roster, Donovan McNAbb but they are 1-3 because their running back is JJ Arrington while First FORCE has Rudi Johnson and DUece McAllister and Brian Griese is adequete enough to keep McNabb in check.

Team THRUST (3-1) vs. sigmakittens (2-2)
Marc Bulger and Jake Delhomme could put up big points for their respective teams but Team THRUST has Stephen Davis while the kitties have his backup DeShaun Foster. That is a prety significant disadvantage.

Cooney Quest (2-2)vs. Feisty Klowns (2-2)
The Klowns have Carson Palmer and Edgerrin James on their side and if they can get anything out of Kevin Jones things are looking pretty good for them because the QUest have to depend on Brett Farve who has been up and down and TJ Duckett is a backup.

IwillCrushYou (2-2) vs. Jc's Evil Empire (1-3)
I guess you can lable this one the Malcontent Bowl as the two biggest critics of the league commish go head to head. The Evil Empire could have big points from Ronnie Brown running on the suddenly ineffective Bills run D. I Will Crush You could get nice points from Matt HAsselback who could be playing catch up all day. Maybe the winner will be a little less "agitated" and the loser might just end up shutting things down.

Your Ad Here (4-0) vs. Akshar Did It (3-1)
Your Ad Here is in better shape to get production from Julius Jones than Maurice Hicks and kick returner Darren Sproles and Steve McNair could make more things for Your Ad Here instead of Ben Roethlisberger for Akshar Did It against the Chargers on Monday night.

Coco's Monkeys (2-2) vs. west coast style (1-3)
west Coast Style might settle this with their recievers Terrell Ownes and Marvin Harrison unless Corey Dillon awakens from his slumber against Atlanta. Whichever quarterback can step his game up for each team will probably win.

[EddieMcD]

Yay, Bus! Boo, everything else on my team! Though I would’ve won had I switched out one of my defenders…

QC Elite (0-4) d. Rhode Island Voltaic (4-0)
52-46
Yep, you did indeed read that right. The last place team did in fact beat the first place team. “Peyton Manning could outscore the Elite all by himself this week.” And so begins Rhode Island’s problems; that didn’t even nearly happen. The star QB only put up 4. It wouldn’t get any better. The only good thing coming out this for the Voltaic is that the Bus will provide a nice second RB for them in the coming weeks (he scored 8 on Monday). To the opponent’s credit, while RI really fell apart this week, the Elite brought their A-game. Their QB was even worse, but Tatum Bell, Sheldon Brown, and Josh Brown easily compensated, going for 18, 17, and 13, respectively. That was almost all of their scoring, but it was enough. I believe this qualifies as an upset.

The Tacoites (1-3) d. Koko's X-Cats (2-2)
65-36
“The X-Cats roster has been ravaged by byes but their spots have been filled in…” Which means we already know that the X-Cats aren’t at full strength. Their score only helped prove that, with Scobee’s 16 and McGahee’s 10 their only relatively decent performances. And this was a week in which Brady actually scored for the Tacoites, giving 15. Their entire defense was an impressive 23 from Indianapolis, and the WRs combined for 16, giving the Tacoites a convincing win.

Nor Cal Crushers (3-1) d. Stevies Scapegoats (1-3)
69-58
This game was probably closer that it should’ve been. What’s the theme for the Scapegoats this week? Their scoring was provided by people who I’ve never heard of. Who the heck is Matt Schaub? Apparently, he’s Mike Vick’s replacement, and he scored 20. I could say the same thing about Cato June’s 18, or Nate Kaeding’s 10. But if you’re a Nor Cal fan (I know I am), it didn’t matter. The appropriately-named Crushers played as they usually do. Thomlinson and Smith again led their charge, combining for 29. They also busted out their defense, combining in that field for 30. Despite having yet another negative score from the K spot, the rest of Nor Cal’s offense scored enough to win their forth straight.

Dunedain (1-3) d. Pelan's Bobcats (1-3)
58-56
Looking at the Bobcat’s roster, you’ll easily notice one thing: no QB. Trent Green had the week off. True, they had Shaun Alexander and his 17, plus a defensive 23. But that one bye positively ended them going against Dunedain’s offense. That’s 11 from Boldin, 10 from Cooley, and 12 from Bryant. They also had a QB playing, gathering up 6 well-needed points. A lucky break for Dunedain, who actually have a winning streak now .

FIRSTforce (4-0) d. hurricanes (1-3)
46-37
It was time for a different force to take the field this week: FIRSTforce’s defense. 29 points came out of that. Plus a Rackers 8, they really didn’t need offense against the struggling Canes. The Cane’s best scores came from the K spot (Lindell with 8), and triple 6s (one short of a jackpot ) in the defensive slots. But again, they didn’t have any offense. FIRSTforce is able to notch their fifth straight because of that.

Team THRUST (3-1) d. sigmakittens (2-2)
65-63
“Marc Bulger [THRUST] and Jake Delhomme [kitties] could put up big points for their respective teams, but Team THRUST has Stephen Davis while the kitties have his backup DeShaun Foster. That is a pretty significant disadvantage.” Holy psychic points, Ed! You called it perfectly. In what was IMO the game of the week, Bulger and Delhomme indeed scored well (11 and 10, respectively). They both had extremely good support. The Sigmakittens had Martin, Glenn, and Bironas, while THRUST had Holt, Vilma, and the Cleveland DEF. The difference: THRUST had Steven Davis score 8. The kitties had his backup DeShaun Foster score 1. It was the advantage Team THRUST needed to win.

Cooney Quest (2-2) d. Feisty Klowns (2-2)
68-60
Behold the Green Bay dependency! The Quest became practically reliant on the Packers this week, and they didn’t disappoint. Favre had 15, Davenport scored 14, and Longwell tallied 10. The 14 from Buffalo only helped. On the Klowns side of the scoreboard, they had big days from Barnett, Jones, and James (16, 14, 10). But the lack of a middle offense put this one firmly in Cooney’s bag.

Jc's Evil Empire (1-3) d. IwillCrushYou (2-2)
71-63
This was yet another excellent game. Bledsoe, in his hit-or-miss season, scored a hit and 16 points for the Empire. Troy Vincent and Steven Jackson both added 12. The support they got from their two receivers (19 points combined) only helped. Meanwhile, IWCY countered with Matt Hasselbeck putting up 13, Larry Fitzgerald scoring 12, and Robert Ferguson’s 10. Their support was a defensive 21. Unfortunately, you can see that as the game goes on, IWCY’s scores get progressively lower, until they just can’t keep up. Both teams now stand at 2-3.

Your Ad Here (4-0) d. Akshar Did It (3-1)
51-43
This was not a good week for ADI, period. Yeah, Roethlisberger (not the spellchecker’s best friend, BTW) put up 10. But he went down toward the end of his game. And Sproles and Houshmandzadeh (hello, spellchecker crash) were already hurt. This made it so that YAH (too…many… acronyms!) had to try to lose. And as much as they tried, they just couldn’t. Steve McNair’s 17 was their high score, with their next best coming form Kyle Vanden Bosch (spellchecker explodes) scoring 9. Both teams’ average score was in the toilet, but YAH had more high scores than ADI, keeping them undefeated. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need a new computer .

west coast style (1-3) d. Coco's Monkeys (2-2)
60-31
This was not exactly the game the Monkeys were hoping for. They had almost no defensive scoring, and overall had two -1s, a bye, and nothing breaking double digits on their scorecard. WCS was prepared to take advantage of this with dual 10s from Leftwich and Bennett and a 13 from Donnie Edwards. That, and actual defensive scoring put this game out of reach for the Monkeys.

In a rather bizarre week of upsets, teams with an edge not holding it, fantasy studs performing like waterboys (Manning, I'm looking at you), injuries, and a couple bye-ravaged teams, the scoreboard is a mess. What I'm looking at is the fact that all the 4-1 teams and two of the 2-3 teams have higher fantasy scores than both of the undefeated teams. Also, 6 of the 2-3 teams have better scores than both the 3-2 teams. Really exciting analysis for the playoffs... if the playoffs were even remotely close. Right now, it ain't pretty, and it will probably stay that way looking at next week's schedule (though in two weeks, it should become less of a mess). Will the undefeated teams hold on despite low fantasy scores? See you next week.

WEEK 5 RESULTS

Koko's X-Cats(3-2) 94.10 wst Coast Style(0-5)59.87
Marc Bulger gets his favorite victim the Seahawks in the dome so he may outperform McNabb.
It wasn't as much that Bulger outpreformed McNabb as McNabb played his worst game of the year. And if Donovan falls flat there was Kieth Bullcok with his 17 points and Chris Cooley's 15.47 points there was no one. It wasn't like the X-Cats dominated. Outside of Bulger's 34.20, Willis McGahee's 13.07 and Kevin Curtis' 12.70 they really weren't setting the house on fire neither.


Jc's Evil Empire(4-1) 105.56 Dogs in the Bathtub(1-4) 52.13
While the Evil Empire look to rebound from their crushing defeat last week the Dogs are looking to roll over by leaving roster spots blank giving the Evil Empire more help then they probably need.ANd the dogs did just that. Inexplicably starting 4 players who never saw the field and put up zeroes. Jeremy Stevens who had 11.83 points and Kevan Barlow who scored 10.03 points we're all that the DOgs had. The Evil Empire got 28 points (and a clean bill of health, mostly) from Ben Roethlisberger, 18.17 from LaDainian Thomlinson, 15 points from the Buffalo Bills defense and 11.13 points from Deion Branch leading to a very easy victory.

Cromer Angry Smash!(5-0) 143.04Nor Cal Crushers(3-2) 137.29
The Smash are the leagues only undefeated team and had to sweat this one out. A pair of blank spots Joe Horn and Tyrone Calico lead to a 45.40 to 31.93 scoring advantage for the recivers thus dashing their hopes for victory. THe Smash were led by Brett Farve's 35.7 points, Edgerrin James 16.80 points and the Jacksonville Jaguars defense with 10 points. Carson Palmer put 30.03 points on the board for the Crushers to go with Shaun ALexander's 22.50 points, Donnie Edwards 14 points and Nate Keading's 12 points.

Tomahawks(3-2) 144.54 sigmakittens(0-5) 105.40
The Tomahawks could just beat the kitties to death with Peyton Manning who gets to use a Niners D that made Josh McCown look like well, Peyton Manning. He could end up outscoring the kitties himself.
Byron Leftwich held his own and outscore Manning 22.37 to 22. The unexpect 37 point explosion from the Indinapolis Colts defense made it not even close. THe Tomawks got 12.57 points from Antonio Gates and 12.17 from Patrick Pass. The kitteis got 14.50 points from Josh Brown, 14 points from Jonathan Vilma, 13.43 points from Eric Moulds, 11.37 from Brian Finneran and 11 points from the Carolina Panthers defense.

Stevies Scapegoats(4-1) 103.74 Cooney Quest(1-4) 76.37
[i]Delhomme and MArvin Harrison get to feast on weak sisters and could put up big time points for the Scapegoats but the fly in the ointment could be the Quest's Ronnie Brown who is playing the leagues worst rush defense in Buffalo and could be in line for a big day. If anyone else steps up an upset could be in the making.[i]
Jake Delhomme dominated his matchup with Joey Harrington 27.03 to 11.37 but Marvin Harrison was MI. Cato June scored 15 points, Chad Johnson with 11.97 points and 11 points from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for the Scapegoats. The New England Patriots we're the only beacon of light for the quest scoring

Beckham Pwns All(3-2) 98.00 Mechanicatz(3-2)83.10
Both teams are missing significant contributors on their rosters due to a bye, Randy Moss for the MEchanicatz and Tiki Barber for Beckham. I think Barber will be missed more. Beckham might also be going without a quarterback with JP Losman being shown the bench. If Bledsoe doesn't spend all day on his back and makes some plays it could be pretty easy for the Mechanicatz.
Drew Bldesoe nearly scored half of the Mechnicatz points. That's not a good thing. Outside of Torry Holt putting up 18.40 points there was not much of anything out of the Mechanicatz roster. Drew Brees only managed 22.50 points he didn't have to. DOmanick Davis scored 15.53 points,Kyle Vanden Bosch 10.60 points from Todd Heap and 10.50 points from Kyle Vanden Bosch.

[ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(3-2)[/color] 128.20 Pelan's Bobcats(1-4) 126.61
The Clowns are on a roll. Anthony Wright managed 26.87 points last weekend. Not as spectacular and the Bobcat's Tom Bardy who put up a jaw dropping 48.73 points! So what kill's the Bobcats? Well having just 16.43 points from Daniel Grahm and 14 points from the Seattle Seahawks defense is just not going to cut it. The Clowns got 19.63 points from Joe Jurevicius, 15.87 points from Kevin Jones, 15.50 points from Nick Barnett and 15 points from the New York Jets defense .

Tolman(2-3) 125.90 WBI-461(4-1) 122.05
While Tolman could be looking at a significant advantage in the quarterback matchup particularly if the Seahawks fall behind and MAtt Hasselback has to throw all day and David Carr spends all day running for his life instead of making plays. WBI-161 has better backs with Duece McALlister and Steven Jackson over Packers backup Travis Fisher and CLinton Portis who could find it tough sledding in Denver.
WBI-461 falls from the ranks of the unbeaten. Basically the New Orleans Saints ended up costing them putting up -4 points while Tolman's Cincinatti Bengals defense put up a midest but just what the doctor ordered. Anquan Boldin led WBI-461 with 22 points 21.97 from David Carr , 20.53 points from Antonio Bryant , Steven Jackson's 18.27 points and 13 points from Zach Thomas. The Bobcats got 36.30 points from Matt Hasselback, 23.37 points from Terry Glen, 15.60 points from Alge Crumpler , 13 points from Jason Taylor and 10.61 for Clinton Portis.

WEEK 6 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(3-2) Pelan's Bobcats(1-4)
Nopt only are the Bobcats going with no names on defense thus conceding those points to the X-Cats but they are hurting alot on their roster and that means thie players could or could not play and they need their backs COrey Dillon and Rudi Johnson to produce in order to win.


Jc's Evil Empire(4-1) Stevies Scapegoats(4-1)
The Evil Empire has to go with relic Vinny Testeverde while the Scapregoats have Jake Delhomme and in this league your quarterback is your biggest point producer. Therefore the Evil Empire needs Thomlinson and Taylor to take up the slack.

Nor Cal Crushers(3-2) Dogs in the Bathtub(1-4)
Til the Dogs start taking thier job seriously and start maintaining their roster there is no reason to thik they'll be anything more than a virtual bye in this league. The Crushers win going away.

Tomahawks(3-2) Cromer Angry Smash!(5-0)
The only undefeated team in the league faces a very tough task as is the case whenever your opponent has Peyton Manning going up against a soft defense. THe Snash's best hope is that the Colts race out to such a huge lead (with alot of short touchdown runs by Edgerrin James) that they give Manning the second half off.

wst Coast Style(0-5) sigmakittens(0-5)
Well somebody has to win. Considering that the kitteis have a quarterback actually playing while wst Coast Style missing his main weapon Donovan McNabb si it's looking good for the kitties.


Cooney Quest(1-4) Mechanicatz(3-2)
So long a Drew Bledsoe continues his revivial then the Mechanicatz should do well here though they'll miss Hines Ward but the Quest are already missing Braylon Edwards.

Beckham Pwns All(3-2) WBI-461(4-1)
Good matchup at quarterback with Kerry Collins for WBI-461 and Drew Brees for Beckham Pwns All. This could be settled by the runners as Tiki Barber and Domanick Davis for Beckham could make a bigger difference and Curtis MArtin and Steven Jackson (who could be rendered irrelvant by the end of the first quarter) for WBI-461.


[COLO R=Red]Tolman(2-3)[/color] [ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(3-2)[/color]
The Clowns are waiting for Daunte Culpepper to come around while Tolman can rely on a solid Matt Hasselback but Tolman is missing a back while the Clowns have Kevin Jones and Mewelde Moore . Not exactly barn burners but the two of them may be able to outperform Clinton Portis.

WEEK 6 SCHEDULE

Stevies Scapegoats (1-4) vs. Koko's X-Cats (2-3)
The SCapegoats are still waiting for Daunte Culpepper to come around and need Fast Willie Parker to be bigtime because the X-Cats got Willis McGahee, Micheal Pittman and Lamont Jordan and in Fantasy Football it's tough to beat teams with three backs.


Pelan's Bobcats (1-4)vs. Rhode Island Voltaic (4-1)
Manning, who has been pretty tame this year, could go Postal on Mnday night against one of the softest teams in the league. while the Bobcats waste a roster spot on Duce Staley who hasn't played a down this year.


Nor Cal Crushers (4-1) vs. QC Elite (1-4)
The Elite make it easy on the Crushers by having two bye addled players on the roster and not a very strong group left over. If Thomlinson plays big this week it's over early.


west coast style (2-3) vs. The Tacoites (2-3)
Both teams are featuring bye producced blank spots but the Tacoites also have no useful players on dfense as well and unless Tom Brady has a career day look like they are headed for a loss.

hurricanes (1-4) vs. Dunedain (2-3)
All you need to do to know about the Cnaes cnaces is to look at their starting quarterback who is the benched JP Losman. If Drew Brees and Tiki Barber play up to snuff the Cnaes have no chance.

FIRSTforce (5-0)vs. sigmakittens (2-3)
What makes the Kitties so dangerous is that they have not only an angry Priest Holmes and Curtis Martin while FIRST force is stuck with Mike Anderson and I don't know if Brian Griese can outdo Jake Delhomme.

Team THRUST (4-1) vs.Feisty Klowns (2-3)
The Fiesty Clowns would be a strong threat to Team THRUST if they didn't leave a blank spot on defense (when in a close match you don't give gimmies to your opponent) because Carson Palmer, Edgerrin James and Kevin Jones match up strongly with Eli Manning and Stephen Davis.

Jc's Evil Empire (2-3) vs.Cooney Quest (3-2)
So long as Drew BLedsoe continues his resurgance and Jamal Lewis and Steve Jackson get something the Empire looks pretty good as the Quest has Kelly Holcomb and TJ DUckett to counter them. Not exactly confidence enducing.

Akshar Did It (3-2) vs.IwillCrushYou (2-3)
Well I thought I'd never see the day when an Alex Cromier team would become a virtual bye but from the look of things looks like Alex has shut things down (that message at the top gives a real good indication about his level of dedication) so Akshar DId It has it pretty easy if somebody does something. Not exactly a garuntee witht he group he has.


Your Ad Here (5-0) vs. Coco's Monkeys (2-3)
It's very unusal for an undeteated team to be so negligent of their own roster. But no Hines Ward and a player on a bye. While I'm not sure how much Coco's Monkeys will get out of Gus Freeotte or Corey Dillon but they need to take advantage of Your Ads Here's mistake.

[EddieMcD]

Boo, Bus! Yay, everything else on my team!

Rhode Island Voltaic (4-1) d. Pelan's Bobcats (1-4)
78-60
This would be the second week in a row Rhode Island would come against a very tough team from the basement. At least this time, their high score wasn’t from Jerome Bettis (hilariously, he scored 0 this time). Their high score was Santana Moss’s 20. Alone, that’d be nigh worthless. But hello, offensive and defensive support. Manning and Dunn both added 11, and the defensive tally was 31. The Bobcats tried to fight back, including a fear-inducing 31 from Shaun Alexander. But beyond Trent Green scoring 12, there really wasn’t enough support to beat the Voltaic (who pulled a 180 from last week and actually had players scoring ).

Stevies Scapegoats (1-4) vs. Koko's X-Cats (2-3)
draw
53-53
This is one that came down to Monday night and- wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. Sunday for the X-Cats consisted of a LaMont Jordan 15, a McGahee 14, and a Pittman 12. The Scapegoats had Atlanta’s 14 and Galloway’s 10. This is one that came down to Monday Night and with the X-Cats up by 12, it should have been over. They even got another point from Freeney. But the Scapegoats had an awesome performance from Cato June adding 13 to their side. We got ourselves a tie, folks!

Nor Cal Crushers (4-1) d. QC Elite (1-4)
85-65
This is the second week in a row the last-place Elite would bring it against a top team. This week, they looked to crush the appropriately named Crushers. And it looked pretty good for them. The Giants DEF led with 16, and was followed up by Chris Brown’s 14, Tatum Bell’s 12, and Aaron Brooks with 11. Unfortunately, as I keep implying week after week, there’s a reason their opponent is called the Crushers. And Nor Cal started their trademark crushing with Tomlinson throwing, catching, and running for a TD in the same game to score 24 fantasy points. He also had some great support from Plummer, Smith, and McGee (they all put up 12), and was capped off by Chicago’s 14. The Elite lost this one, but at least they looked good doing it.

The Tacoites (2-3) d. west coast style (2-3)
53-51
Ignore what the final score says, this game wasn’t a close one at all. Despite having two players off, The Tacoites led out with their receiver trio combining for 33. Brady would add 8. The “not close” part came from the fact that WCS’s defense was their only real threat, scoring almost half of their points (28). Three donuts existed on that side of the scorecard, which was essentially the killer.

Dunedain (2-3) d. hurricanes (1-4)
54-46
And this one was much closer than the final score says. The Canes looked pretty good with their defensive 28 and Lindell’s 11 But they had two players who never got to touch the ball. Dunedain capitalized on this by keeping up on defense with 23. You’ll notice that Dunedain has no single spectacular score this week. But the fact is, everybody scored (and most added at least 5). Dunedain is now at .500 (yeah… I’m going to go buy some meteor insurance right now ).

FIRSTforce (5-0) d. sigmakittens (2-3)
78-63
You can’t tell by their record, but the Sigmakittens have a squad of pro-bowlers for their offense. Their problem is that they tend to hit or miss depending on the situation. Or like this week, only half of them could hit. Holmes topped their charts with 17, and Horn came through with 14. Their kicker added 11. The rest of the offense combined for 8 though, leaving a hole for FIRSTforce to squeeze through. Their defense only made that hole wider, combining for 39. Donté Stallworth and Rudi Johnson both put up 10s. What also worked for the Force was that except for a -1, everybody on their team scored at least 6, leaving them the sole undefeated team.

Feisty Klowns (2-3) d. Team THRUST (4-1)
60-39
It’s the game where defense meant absolutely nothing! And unfortunately for the Thrust, neither did their offense. Prettymuch their sole score was Rod Smith and his 12. Moving along to the other side of the scoreboard, the Klowns offense actually mattered. Edgerrin James put up a wicked 25, Carson Palmer continued to be strong with 12, and Matt Stover actually had a chance to kick, scoring 10. I think we can all do the math here.

Jc's Evil Empire (2-3) d. Cooney Quest (3-2)
43-31
Behold the Green Bay dependency! The Quest became practically reliant on the Packers this week. But Green Bay wasn’t playing, so they just stuck in some second-stringers. I think we know where this one is headed. The Empire’s high scores were dual 9s by Steven Jackson and Kevin Curtis. But here’s the kicker (no pun intended): the Empire had players that actually played. It wasn’t a pretty win, but it was a win nonetheless.

Akshar Did It (3-2) vs. IwillCrushYou (2-3)
draw
40-40
We got ourselves a tie… again. Neither team had their greatest week. For IWCY, it was lack of a kicker (OT, Brien is proof that even the best of kickers can get cut). For ADI, it was their injuries. Also, the New England DEF gave them -2. High points for IWCY: Davis (9) and San Diego (8). High points for ADI: Brunell (11) and Deltha O’Neal (8). No matter how you slice it, you still get a draw.

Coco's Monkeys (2-3) d. Your Ad Here (5-0)
39-20
“It's very unusual for an undefeated team to be so negligent of their own roster.” I have to quote this, simply for the fact that there really wasn’t much YAH could do this week. McNair was playing injured, Hines Ward and Randy Moss were hurt too much to even play, and any replacements YAH could put in were on byes. The Monkeys played a defensive game this week (IOW, their offense was el crapo), with a combined 35 in that department. Sure, it made up prettymuch their entire score. But it’s not like they needed much.

Wow, my last postgame analysis as a teenager... so I added a new feature to the standings as an early birthday gift! You'll notice after Streak is a new column called Change. Simply put, it tells how many spots you gained or lost compared to the previous week (now if only I had thought of it earlier; we could've seen The Tacoites stuck in that 11 spot for three weeks ). Oh, and the scoreboard actually fixed itself. The standings aren't quite as messy as last week. You'll also notice a new first place team, the last of the undefeateds (and apparently I can claim that plural form as an Eddieism ). Will it last, or will the high fantasy points of Nor Cal and Rhode Island take over the place?

Tune in early next week for the postgame anaylsis, and later in the week comes the annual "first half of the regular season" awards! w00t!

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Wow... I've won one game and I pretty much forgot all about the league... until about a week ago. When I made slight changes. It took me a while to even find the Fantasy Football part of Yahoo!. Sorry about the lack of activity... easy bye I guess. I'll try to be more active? Doubtful... I have to get a job now.

WEEK 7 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(4-2) vs. Tolman(3-3)
The X-Cats had to replace the massively productive Marc Bulger with Steve McNair due to injury and Tolman could take advantage with the rock steady Matt Hasselback. If Tolman can possibly get naything out of Jamal Lewis agianst the Bears that is anotehr matchup that could sway in their favor. Look out for the CHicago Bears D for the X-Cats. They could put up big numbers against the clueless and mistake prone Ravens offense.


Jc's Evil Empire(4-2) vs. Mechanicatz(3-3)
Not sure what the Evil Empire can expect out of Ben Roethlisberger this week but the Mechincatz are missing an important cog with Randy Moss hurting and Cadillac Williams on a bye (and hurt) and SHelton Quarells as well on a bye.

Nor Cal Crushers(4-2) vs. Stevies Scapegoats(5-1)
Matchup of the week. The Crushers got the red hot Carson Palmer and the top runing back in the league Shaun Alexnader. Plus Lamont Jordan is facing the porous Buffalo Bills run defense so he could be big time this week. The SCapegoats aren't quite as strong at running back but Marc Brunell could possible be gangbusters this week going up aginst the non-existant Niners D.

Tomahawks(3-3) vs. Dogs in the Bathtub(1-5)
For once the Dogs have everyone on their rister playing and as usual it doesn't matter as their backs don't scare anyone and Micheal Vick is not a very good fantasy football quarterback. THe Tomahawks got PEyton Manning. Now he could have another non productive week and the TOmahawks backs are eh (one is a backup and the otehr is on a bye) So they could still blow this one.

sigmakittens(1-5) vs. Cromer Angry Smash!(6-0)
The kitties tasted sweet victory for the first time this season. Thier reward? They get to face down the best team in the league. This one could be settled on Friday depending on how Priest Holmes and Trent Green perform in Miami for the kitties. Farve will do well for the Smash as will Edgerrin James.


Cooney Quest(2-4) vs. WBI-461(5-1)
WBI-461 is one tough out so it pays to manage the roster when you are facing them. I'm not sure how Kerry Collins will do. He's been up and down all season but I expect Steven Jackson to do well and CUrtis Martin may be all the Jets have. The Quest are riding on Thomas Jones and Ronnie Brown and if they do well they may just pull off the upset.

Beckham Pwns All(3-3) vs. [ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(3-3)[/color]
Both teams are at the crossraods for the season and are looking to make a move but Beckham has more damage done to their roster and is crippled especially in the passing game and need bug production from Tiki Barber. Domanick Davis and Drew Brees to hang close.

wst Coast Style(0-6) vs.Pelan's Bobcats(1-5)
Pelan's Bobcats are in a very giving mood and have basically giftwrapped a victory for wst Coast Style by not maintaing their roster ONCE AGIAN!
How nice of them.

QC Elite (1-5) vs. Koko's X-Cats (2-3-1)
The X-Cats are holding out hope that their beloved Bills don't bring their A-game to Oakland so Kerry Collins and Lamont Jordan can thrive for their floundering Fantasy team. THe Elite never really got started and are hoping Aaron Brooks shows up thsi week for them.


Rhode Island Voltaic (5-1) vs.hurricanes (1-5)
The Voltaic could get big dividends from Peyton Manning this week making things very easy for theminspite of their roster gaffe. The canes McNabb could match him score for score though so the quarterback battle bears close inspection as it'll go far in determining the winner.

Nor Cal Crushers (5-1) vs. Pelan's Bobcats (1-5)
The Bobcats have a full roster this week but so long as the Crushers have Westbrook and Thomlinson they will be tough to beat. But if Plummer does one of his patented brain freeze jobs on the road Shaun Alexander stays great and Trent Green plays a good game in Miami the Bobcats could sneak away with a win.


The Tacoites (3-3) vs. Stevies Scapegoats (1-4-1)
The Tacoites are at a disadvantage due to playing Matt Schuab who is returning to the Atlanta Falcons bench. Thus if the Scapegoats get any posative production out of Daunte Culpepper (an iffy proposition this year) they could come away with a much needed win.


Dunedain (3-3) vs. sigmakittens (2-4)
The kittis are missing a quarterback. Fortunately for them Dunedain is missing a wide reciver, a kicker and a defender.

FIRSTforce (6-0) vs. Feisty Klowns (3-3)
FIRST force is obviously tired of winning as they have no less than 3 blank spots on their roster including injured quarterback Brian Griese. Not wishing to be outdoen the Klowns decided to play without a defense.

Team THRUST (4-2)vs.Jc's Evil Empire (3-3)
The Evil Empire is trying to get a win with two back who ahve not performed up to snuff so far this year. Steven Jackson of the Rams and Jamal Lewis of the Ravens. Of courese Ahman Green for Team THRUST has not been setting the world on fire theitehr so whomever gets the running game going will probably win.

Akshar Did It (3-2-1) vs.Cooney Quest (3-3)
Akshar is involved in a close matchup but David Akers is out with a groin injury and it could cost them dearly. The Quest's dependance on the Packers could pay off this week against the incompitient Vikings.


Coco's Monkeys (3-3) vs. IwillCrushYou (2-3-1)
The bitter IWILLCRUSHYOU could stumble into a victory if Hasselback, Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis are good this week as the Monkeys don't have much at running back and Freotte cannot be trusted.


Your Ad Here (5-1) vs. west coast style (2-4)
Christmas comes early for Your Ad Here as wst Coast Style sports three blanks on their roster including quarterback. It doesn't get easier than that.

[EddieMcD]

Never thought lack of a kicker would kill me… Anyway, I rushed a bit on this, so if anything doesn’t make sense, that’s why.

hurricanes (1-5) d. Rhode Island Voltaic (5-1)
45-43
Are bottom-tier teams the Voltaic’s kryptonite? I know going into a match with your second-string defense is a points-killer, but when you look at the fact that Santana Moss’s 11 was Rhode Island’s only decent offensive score, perhaps there were some alien rocks involved. The Hurricanes also had a kicker score points. Their best score was a 10 from Chris Chambers, and their defense combined for 17 (5 more than RI’s), leading them to their second win.

Koko's X-Cats (2-3-1) d. QC Elite (1-5)
85-46
LaMont Jordan. 26 points. Ouch. And such were the Elite’s woes this week The X-Cats just brought everything they could to the table. Possibly overkill, but who’s going to complain about that aforementioned 26, Philadelphia’s 17, Burress’s 11, and Mare’s 9? All the Elite could muster up to fight with were Aaron Brooks’s 10 and Josh Brown’s 11. It would’ve been enough to beat literally half the league this week, but not the high-scoring X-Cats.

Nor Cal Crushers (5-1) d. Pelan's Bobcats (1-5)
45-43
This is the first time the Crushers have been even remotely threatened since Week I. Thomlinson was an absolute dud, and the rest of the offense stayed out of the end-zone. So you bring in the defense, which came together for 24 much-needed points. The Bobcats had both the Jets and Antonio Gates scoring 10, and 9 from McCardell. Unfortunately for them, they had nothing else, putting a possible upset out of reach.

Stevies Scapegoats (1-4-1) d. The Tacoites (3-3)
75-48
The Tacoites were in a world of hurt without a playing QB or any remotely effective offense. Their best score was a 13 from Indianapolis, and that was also unsupported. Their opponent came out with 14 from Culpepper and 12 from Willie Parker. But what was really impressive was their 36 combined from their Atlanta DEF and Ds on Monday night. The Tacoites stood no chance.

sigmakittens (2-4) d. Dunedain (3-3)
60-38
Dunedain had three byes that could not be replaced due to his roster, and no score above Drew Brees’s 9. That made it very easy for their opponent to outscore them. The Kittens had Priest Holmes tally 16, Seattle scoring 12, and Adam Archuleta (how the heck is this name not setting off my spellchecker?) putting up 14. Dunedain is no longer on a win streak, so all you people afraid of fissures opening up and destroying the planet can stop worrying .

Feisty Klowns (3-3) d. FIRSTforce (6-0)
59-36
Well, FIRSTforce had to lose sometime. So by process of elimination, that means the Klowns must’ve won. Their score certainly correlates, what with Edgerrin James leading with 18 and Donald Driver tacking on 11. And on the flip side, FIRSTforce definitely lost. In another case of byes and injuries prettymuch forcing them to play with weaker plaers this week, their only score to be proud of was Mike Anderson’s 12. The FIRST Robotics Fantasy Football League has never had an undefeated team at the end of a season, and it officially won’t happen this year either.

Jc's Evil Empire (3-3) d. Team THRUST (4-2)
63-47
Here’s an interesting stat for you: more than half of the Empire’s roster scored at least 9 fantasy points. Team THRUST’s roster put up three 9s themselves (Eli Manning, Jason Elam, and Cleveland) and an 11 (Jonathan Vilma). But where it gets bad for Team THRUST (or good for the Empire, take your pick) is the fact that that’s where production stopped. The Evil Empire had enough scoring from their top players though (this week was Steven Jackson scoring 16) to skip ahead to their third straight win.

Cooney Quest (3-3) d. Akshar Did It (3-2-1)
53-43
“Akshar is involved in a close matchup but David Akers is out with a groin injury and it could cost them dearly.” Oh yeah. That and San Fransisco’s -5 really hurt them. Props to Brunell’s 16 and Dansby’s 15, but it couldn’t hold up to lack of anything else. “The Quest's dependence on the Packers could pay off this week against the incompetent Vikings.” That’s a grand total of 28, over half their score from three players. While those were their only high scores, keep in mind that with the exception of one player, everybody on the Quest gave them at least 4. Cooney’s “slowly but surely” gameplay this week takes them above the .500 mark.

IwillCrushYou (2-3-1) d. Coco's Monkeys (3-3)
63-16
Yeah… I’ll just say that the Monkeys had a really terrible week, and move over to IWCY (who incidentally did not have a terrible week). Their offense was made up of Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis combining for 34 (11 and 23 respectively) all on their lonesome. Their defense wasn’t terrific, but their combined 15 got the job done. Oh, let’s face it; IWCY would’ve won with Portis alone. No matter how it happened though, IWCY pulled itself out of a four-game winless slump.

Your Ad Here (5-1) d. west coast style (2-4)
50-45
“Christmas comes early for Your Ad Here as west coast style sports three blanks on their roster including quarterback.” YAH must be Jewish, because they practically tried to lose this one. WCS could have won, but their byes simply could not be helped. While there was some impressive conglomeration going on (five players did better than 7 points), those blanks absolutely killed them. On YAH’s team, their best scores were three 8s (Tennessee, Moore, and Wilson). YAH’s average score was actually lower, but they didn’t have any absences. It was another game of attrition which YAH ended up on top of.

I chuckled when I saw three teams at .500 after playing an odd number of games. We also lost our last undefeated team. The top five teams are the same (though with a slightly different order) this week, but the next seven spots got really shaken up. More on this in my mid-season review/awards. Finally: talk about a low scoring week. Literally half the teams scored 45 or less, two of them in victories.

Speaking of the mid-season review/awards, I'll get those up within the next 36 hours.

[EddieMcD]

Best of the best, first half:

Most Valuable QB

Carson Palmer (Feisty Klowns)
He's the only QB in the league to average 10 points a game. Not to mention the fact that the Klowns are in sixth place.

Honorable Mention: Brett Favre
So what happens when you have a Green Bay dependancy? You get Brett Favre scoring big in all four of Cooney Quest's wins.

Best Running Game

LaDainian Thomlinson, Brian Westbrook, & Carnell Williams (Nor Cal Crushers)
You wanna know why the Crushers are appropriately named? These three are why. Thomlinson is tied for the top score in the league, while Westbrook is number 10 among RBs. And when Cadillac isn't hurt, he's providing excellent support. This is why Nor Cal is up top.

Honorable Mention: LaMont Jordan & Willis McGahee
Yeah, the X-Cats have had three tough losses. But even in these, there's one constant: the running game provides their top scoring.

Best Receiving Game

It literally took me an hour to decide this. These two would generally be the honorable mentions, but nobody else has two receivers near the top.

Santana Moss & Dante Hall (Rhode Island Voltaic)
You know, if you actually count Hall as a receiver (he does have a receiving TD, so that was good enough for me). Santana Moss leads the league in receiving yardage, and Dante Hall is a top returner (and for all you nay-sayers out there, he's ranked 14th among all receivers). These two have bailed out RI time and time again.

Terrell Owens & Marvin Harrison (west coast style)
You know, if you can get past the fact that they're 2-5. Still, these two are the best two combined receivers in the league. WCS doesn't have much to be proud of, but they can at least be proud of these two.

Honorable Mention: Steve Smith
It's Nor Cal. It's the highest single fantasy score for receivers. 'Nuff Said.

Most Valuable Kicker

Neil Rackers (FIRSTforce)
Hands down. He's 20 for 20 in the first half, 2 of those being over 50 yards. Rackers is a primary scorer on the second-place Force.

Honorable Mention: Shayne Graham
While having a very easy schedule, the third place YAH still had to produce. And production came from Graham. While being a bit quirky on field goals, he's solid on PATs.

Most Productive Offense

Nor Cal Crushers
Do I really need to explain this one? The rundown: Thomlinson, Westbrook, & the Cadillac. Steve Smith. Even Jake Plummer isn't too bad. With Nor Cal ranked number one in both record and fantasy points, I think this was a shoe-in.

Honorable Mention: Koko's X-Cats
The X-Cats are second in fantasy points despite being back in that .500 tier. When they've lost, it's been close (or they're facing Cory ); when they've won, it's been dominating. McGahee, Jordan, and Burress lead their team, and they have a QB who always manages to contribute something.

Honorable Mention: Team THRUST
I didn't think it was fair to mention the 3-3-1 X-Cats without mentioning an almost equally as effective 4-3 team. Eli Manning has been hot the last few weeks (having Bulger backing him up when need be is nice too), and Stephen Davis and Torry Holt keep contributing points.

Most Dominating Defense

Stevie's Scapegoats
Under normal circumstances, this would've only gotten an honorable mention. But despite only being 2-4-1, they have not just two, but four defenders in the top 15. Add that to Atlanta holding their opponents at bay, and you truly have a dominating defense. Now if only they had an offense...

Honorable Mention: TeamTHRUST
Vilma and June have been racking up points for them all season long. This would've probably won the top prize if they weren't stuck with Minnesota as their DEF.

Honorable Mention: Rhode Island Voltaic
This defense is appropriately placed. While not the best, Ray Lewis, Mike Brown, and Atlanta are consistant point scorerers, even bailing out RI on a couple occasions.

Honorable Mention: FIRSTforce
I was about to pass this one up. Then I realized that they at least deserve an honorable mention in this category. Brooking, Bulluck, and Fletcher provide great support to the Carolina DEF. But what locked it is not only the fact that this is a good defense, but the fact that it's helped them get to second place.

Playoff Picture
I'll keep it brief this time. While nobody is eliminated yet, and nobody has clinched, there are certain quirks to the picture right now. Up top, barring a couple broken legs, Nor Cal looks like a shoe-in to a high playoff seed. I'll even go out and say the I like FIRSTforce's chances. It's YAH that worries me. They have yet to face a team with a winning record, and have a very tough road ahead. On the flip side, Rhode Island has a relatively easy schedule the second half, and may very well be in contention for a top spot (though losing to two basement teams is proof that anything can happen). THRUST hit a small losing streak, but to be fair, those two losses were to teams on a winning streak. They'll most likely be fighting for a lower spot with their only moderately difficult schedule. And those two afforementioned teams on a win streak (Empire and Klowns) both have a schedule of moderate difficulty, and will probably be fighting for lower playoff spots. And the bottom of the top/top of the middle Cooney only have a couple tough matchups left, and will probably get a comfortable playoff spot.

I'm still chuckling at the fact that there are three 3-3-1 teams. The X-Cats are the unluckiest team on the planet right now, but only have one more team on their schedule above .500. I still like their chances. Both IWCY and ADI have difficult schedules ahead, and will have to work hard to make it into the bottom playoff spots. Dunedain's three straight wins came against the bottom three teams, and they have a moderate schedule left. My bet is on no. The Kittens and Tacoites have an easier schedule, and if they can steal a couple close ones, they will be in (though barring a couple breakdowns higher up, I don't think both of them will make it). The Monkeys don't seem to win as much as their opponents lose, and their last three games are the top three in fantasy points. I don't like their chances. The Scapegoats have turned themselves around the last couple weeks, and they have an easy schedule, meaning I have a feeling they'll be in the playoff hunt. WCS has an easy schedule, but the only way they'll be in the hunt is if they exploit their opponents' weaknesses. The Cane's, Elite, and Bobcats all had lucky wins, and I think it's a safe bet that they'll be on the outside looking in.

But finally, keep in mind that really, anything can happen. The Cane's, Elite, and Bobcats are still nowhere near out, and Nor Cal is still not guaranteed to be in. But thenagain, watching things unfold is what makes this fun.

Okay, that's it for the mid-season review/awards. Here's to a second half as exciting as the first. And here's to me finally being able to get some sleep .

[EddieMcD]

Yeah… if you all would just skip over that first review…

sigmakittens (3-4) d. Rhode Island Voltaic (5-2)
62-24
I don’t have anything to quote this week, but I’m pretty sure Ed would’ve said something along the lines of “Rhode Island is screwed.” They went into the game running their second string offense due to byes, and a hurt defense, and- okay, I’ll stop making excuses. The Voltaic didn’t inhale audibly; they outright sucked. Their best scores were twin 7s from Hall and Kasay. Moving away from that embarrassment: two of the kitties defensive players (Oakland and Mathis) would’ve beaten RI themselves (with 15 and 13 respectively). Add a Jake Delhomme 17 for insurance (like they even needed it), and the Sigmakittens move to .500 quite easily.

Koko's X-Cats (3-3-1) d. Pelan's Bobcats (1-6)
53-52
An interesting stat for you: coming into this game, the Bobcats had lost each of their last three games by exactly two points. So for a team in the basement, they are putting up excellent fights. They started off with Antonio Gates’s 25 and Trent Green’s 10. They followed up with… absolutely nothing. This allowed the X-Cats some breathing room. A 10 from the K spot and dual 12s from Schobel and Jordan wouldn’t be enough. However, that Kerry Collins 13 pushed them just enough to get that win.

Nor Cal Crushers (6-1) d. hurricanes (2-5)
85-44
Even I could’ve predicted this one. The Canes had almost no offense and only 17 from their defense this week. But I want to get to the spectacular stuff. Namely, the appropriately named Crushers. Defense: combined 23. Westbrook: 10. Steve Smith: 17. But what topped it was Jake Plummer’s 22. Nor Cal easily remains in first place.

The Tacoites (3-4) d. QC Elite (1-6)
68-59
Did the Tacoites really just win this game with a “middle of the pack” receiver (Moulds, 13)), a kicker (Feely, 19), and Dallas (obviously Dallas, 14)? To be fair, they got good support from the rest of the offense, who all scored at least 4. The Elite keep trying to pull out of the basement. And for a moment, it looked like they could, what with a combined 27 from their RBs. Unfortunately, beyond the Giants’ very nice 20, there was almost no support (god knows the rest of the offense didn’t give any). So we go back to the beginning, where the Tacoites did indeed win with a “middle of the pack” receiver, a kicker, and Dallas.

west coast style (2-5) d. Stevies Scapegoats (2-4-1)
49-48
Talk about horrible luck: the Scapegoats' Culpepper got injured early, and contributed a big donut. While excellent defense (a combined 27) and Joey Galloway (13) tried to compensate, they fell a point short. Ouch. While not as great on defense (still a decent combined 20), WCS was able to offset this With a Terrell Owens 14 and 9 from Leftwich. This week’s game left the Scapegoats in a world of hurt.

Feisty Klowns (4-3) d. Dunedain (3-4)
54-51
If you start at the top of the scoreboards, it looked like Dunedain was going to win. A 15 from Drew Brees, a 16 from Tiki Barber, and everything looks great. But then again, that’s why there are four quarters in a game, and seven other roster spots on the scorecard. Seven other roster spots where only one player broke 3. The 13 from Palmer, the 12 from Cincinnati, and the 10 from Janikowski started the Klowns with game of catch-up. Luckily for them, with three other players breaking 4, they were just able to pull past the now slumping Dunedain.

Jc's Evil Empire (4-3) d. FIRSTforce (6-1)
46-40
Well, I can’t say I saw this coming. Doesn’t help that this was another case of a QB getting hurt for FIRSTforce (though McCown’s injury wasn’t season ending). It probably doesn’t help either that their receivers did next-to-nothing. In fact, their only good score was Mike Anderson’s 12. The Empire’s Kevin Curtis equaled that, Danny Clark added 9, and Steven Jackson took the top score with 15. That’s four straight for the Evil Empire.

Akshar Did It (3-3-1) d. Team THRUST (4-3)
56-52
Lets look at the defense: ADI had one (and a good one at that, combining for 28). They also had the spellchecker smashers Roethlisberger (9) and Houshmandzadeh (10). Team Thrust had Stephen Davis tally 14 and Jeremiah Trotter add 10. But remember in my mid-season awards when I said that Team THRUST would’ve won Most Dominating Defense if they weren’t stuck with Minnesota as their DEF? Guess who cost them the game with -5? Yep, Minnesota. This tough break is what gives Team THRUST their third straight loss.

Coco's Monkeys (3-4) d. Cooney Quest (4-3)
73-29
*Double takes at the team with the lowest fantasy score breaking 70* Okay, apparently I did see that right. Going down the list of contributions: Corey Dillon had 15, both Heath Miller and Mike Peterson scored 12, Kennison took 11, Urlacher put up 9, Baltimore tallied 7, and Carney contributed 6. That’s conglomeration, no matter how you try to slice it. But what’s even more amazing then the Monkeys winning is that their opponents still lost (you’ll recall a comment in my mid-year analysis stating that the Monkeys don’t win; their opponents lose). Cooney had the unfortunate pain of relying on Green Bay, and this week, it absolutely killed them. With their only decent score being Branch’s 11, it was easily a game the Monkeys WON (capitalized for emphasis ). Both teams now sit at 4-4.

Your Ad Here (6-1) d. IwillCrushYou (3-3-1)
35-25
Byes and injuries are the story of this game. Lack of a QB and a hurt kicker just killed IWCY. And YAH again attempted to lose with four players playing hurt. Key word there though is playing. Playing=scoring (except in Rhode Island’s case ). And Scoring generally equals winning. I really can’t tell who lost this game, but score wise, YAH still manages to keep their place in the top tier.

I think I'll take a sec to laugh at the fact that the Tacoites have reclaimed their coveted 11 spot . Not much else to comment on. No one is eliminated, and we may actually have a playoff race that goes below the .500 mark. One fact holds though: every win counts.

Catch you next week.

Even missing a starter Beckham easily handles the X-Cats led by Drew Brees 39.37, the Miami Dolphins defenses 30 points, Tiki Barber's 20.57 and Chris Brown's 14.33. The X-Cats weren't no slouches led by Jamie Martin's 19.03 points, the Chicago Bears defenses 18.00, Kevin Curtis' 15.50, Heath Miller's 14.70, Bubba Frank's 13.63 and Willis McGahee's 11.47 points. Admirable numbers but considerably short of the numbers put up by their counterparts.

WBI-461(4-1) 175.01 Jc's Evil Empire(5-3) 149.87
SCoring a robust 149.87 points would be enough to win going away if the Evil Empire would be playing anyone else than WBI-461 who scored a ridiculous 175.01 points. Kerry Collin's led the onslaught with 32.37 points followed by Jerry Porter (thanks to Pac Man Jones and his Deion Sanders impersionation) with 23.20, Jay Feeley with 22.50, Marion Barber's 22.47, Stepehn Jackson with 20.33, the now -injured Anquaan Boldin with 12.10 and Antonio Pierce with 12 points.
The Evil Empire got 26.17 points from Ben Roethlisberger, 18.90 from Terrell Owens (who is now out with a severe case of dirareaha of the mouth), 15.97 from Tony Gonzales, 14.93 from Brian Westbrook, LaDanian Thomlinson with 14.70, Deion Branch with 14.63, Rod Smith with 13.57, and the Detriot Lions defense with 11 points.
Good but not good enough . My sympathies Corey.

Nor Cal Crushers(5-3) 142.60 Mechanicatz(3-5) 64.53
The Mechanicatz season has quickly imploded and it came to a head last week as the Crushers more than doubled thier score. With three big zeroes either due to byes or non perfomance they were dead before thje game sreally began. Drew Bledsoe with an (underperforming) 21.83 was all they had.
Meanwhile the Crushers had 34.90 from both Steve Smith and Carson Palmer. Those two outscored the Mechinacatz by themselves.

Tomahawks(5-3) 125.84 Stevies Scapegoats(6-2) 77.21
After weeks of surging ahead to the lead group of the league the SCapgoats put up an airball and got absolutely stomped. Outside the 34 points their defense put up they didn't have much to show at all. Antonio Gates 32.67 nearly negates that and add in the Niners D 24 points, Kyle Orton 22.17 and Muhsin Muhammad's 11.27.

sigmakittens(2-6) 115.70 Dogs in the Bathtub(1-7) 94.13
The kitties exploded for over a hundred points led by 38.20 points from Trent Green, 19.83 from Eric Moulds and 16 points from the Carolina Pantehrs defense. The Dogs got 17.77 from Trent Dilfer, 15 points from Warren Sapp, Lemar Marshall's 11.50 points and 10 points from both Neil Rackers and the Baltimore Ravens defense.

Cromer Angry Smash!(8-0) 102.36wst Coast Style(1-7) 68.20
The Smash get it easy for once as wst Caost Style got 30.30 points from Donovan McNabb and nothing much else from anybody else. The Smash got a dissapointing 18.57 from Brett Farve but unlike wst Coast Style had support from his teammates Stephen Davis, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense, and Mike Peterson all scored in double digits to lead the Smash to an easy win.

[ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(5-3)[/color] 95.31 Cooney Quest(2-6) 86.37
This game ended up much closer than it probably should have been with Daunte Culpepper going down for the year with a devastating knee injury. Fortunately for the Clowns Eddie Kennison, Kevin Jones, Donald Driver and Nick Barnett picked up the slack. Josh McCown and the depleated New England Patriots defense was all the Quest really had. That they came close is pretty much a miracle.

Tolman(4-4) 74.87 Pelan's Bobcats(1-7) 74.16
Tolman played Chiken with the train and got away with it by starting a bye addled Matt Hasselback and Alge Crumpler. Of course the Bobcats helped them out by haivng the Seahawks defense playing when they weren't. The Cincinatti Bengals defense took advantage scoring 14 points and saved Tolman's bacon.

WEEK 9 SCHEDULE[/center]
Cooney Quest(2-6) vs. Koko's X-Cats(5-3)
Stricking to thier usual bad habits the Quest decided to make things easier for the X-Cats and leave two defensive starters on the roster but they do have a distinct advantage at running back with Thomas Jones and Ronnie Brown over the X-Cats TJ Duckett and Chester Taylor but the X-Cats got a big time advantage at quarterback with Steve McNair over Joey Harrington.

[ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(5-3)[/color] vs. Jc's Evil Empire(5-3)
Whomever can get anything good out of their quarterback (or at least inflicts the least damage to their own teams chances) will lead thier team to victory here as well. The Empire is looking solid with Thomlinson though.

Nor Cal Crushers(5-3) vs. WBI-461(4-1)
The Crushers could slap WBI-461 from their second place perch with their solid advantage at running back with Shaun Alexnader and Lamont Jordan over Curtis Martin and DeShaun Foster who will have to wait his turn for his carries behind Stpehen Davis. WBI-461 needs a big game from Jerry Collins to stay close.

Tomahawks(5-3) vs. Mechanicatz(3-5)
The Mechanicatz must have packed up camp for the season because they decided to leep Drew BLedsoe in the starting lineup even though he's on a bye.And in this league you cannot win without a starting quarterback. The Tomahawks should win easily.

sigmakittens(2-6) vs. Stevies Scapegoats (6-2)
The SCapegoats need to make up for last weeks egg-on-your-face collapse last week get an improving sigmakittens team. The quarterback matchup is pretty tight but the Scapegaots got significnat advnatages in teh recivers and the running game and that could make all the difference.

Cromer Angry Smash!(8-0) vs. Dogs in the Bathtub(1-7)
The best team in the league against the worst. Looking up and down the Dogs roster there is no reason to belive they have any chance whatsoever to knock the Smash from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Beckham Pwns All(4-4) vs. Pelan's Bobcats(1-7)
Both teams are missing players due to byes and the Bobcats (on paper) have the advantage for once. What Brees and Brady do obviously goes a long way in deciding who wins as does the running back battle. What may actually settle the matter is if the Seattle Seahawks handle the Cardinals for the Bobcats and if the Dolphins have answers for Micheal Vick and the Falcons for Beckham.

wst Coast Style(1-7) vs.Tolman(4-4)
In spite of his poor roster management Tolman is still in the playoff hunt but that could end after this week and it'll be thier own fault for leaving 4 players who are on a bye. Unless the Portis and Lewios go nuts they really don't have a chance.
