WEEK 2 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(2-0)94.13 Mechanicatz(1-1)93.84
The X-Cats thought they were crusing on easy street jumping out to a big lead early then having to sweat out the last drive on Monday night as Drew Bledsoe regressed to his 2004 form and threw a 3 yard pass on 4th and 4 thus peserving the X-Cat's victory. The X-Cats were led the the Philadelphia Eagles defense who scored 22 points , Marc Bulger who scored 20.20 point sna Derrick Mason who scored 14 points. The Mechanicatz were led by Drew Bledsoe's 25.53 points, Randy Moss' 16.97 points, Cadillac William's 14.53 points and Torry Holt's 12.67 but played KRis Jenkins whi was on IR and an innefective Sam Cowart.

Jc's Evil Empire(2-0)129.03 Tomahawks(1-1)96.60
That makes the Evil Empire very tough but they can't expect Ben Roethlisberger to match Manning. If the backs play like they're supposed to he won't have to.
How very wrong I was. Big Ben slammed Peyton to the turf 27.47 to 8.57 and the rout was on! Thomlinson and Westbrook crushed the Tomahawks twosome of Tatum Bell and Brandon Jacobs 30.97 to 6.33 (all Jacobs). Terrell Owens added 24.03 points. The Indianapolis Colts defense led the way for the Tomahawks with 25 points followed by 14.40 points by Mushin Muhammad and 10 points from Jake Reed.

Nor Cal Crushers(1-1) 151.93 wst Coast Style(0-2)89.23
wst Coast Style is rolling the dice going with the Dolphin's Gus Freotte. The Crusher's Jake Plummer must take advantage! Also wst Coast style should expect little or nothing from Jerome Bettis so unless Fast Willie Parker has another huge game he'll be hard pressed to outmuscle Lamont Jordan and Larry Johnson.Well i n typical Jake Plummer fashion he played down to the competiton and was actually outscored by Freotte. But Parker was overmatched against Jordon and Shaun ALexnader who outscored him 32.40 to 13.40. The Evil Empire got 29 points from the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, 19.03 points from Joe Horn and 15.13 points from Randy McMicheal. wst Coast Style got 15.50 points from Troy Polomeanu, 15.40 from Donte Stallwoth and 11 points from Kieth Bullock but the -2 points from the Minnesota Viking defense absolutely killed them.

Cooney Quest(1-1)80.59
sigmakittens(0-2) 68.89
The Kitties are going to continue to rely on KC's one two punch of Trent Green and Priest Holmes but could really use some prodection from Micheal Bennet and Andre Johnson to get going. The Quest probably can't rely on Joey HArrington so they need a big game from Ahman Green.
The kitties got 30.53 points from Green and Holmes but outside of the 13 points from the San Deigo Chargers defense they got almost nothing from the rest of the roster. Harrington didin't light the world on fire but he contributed 11.63 points that went nicely with Braylon Edwards 14.63 points and the New England Patriots defense 11.5 points. Look no further than the 34 to 17.5 advantage on defense to why Cooney Quest won.

Cromer Angry Smash!(2-0) 152.93 Beckham Pwns All(1-1)88.62
Beckham may Pwn All but Farve Pwns Beckham Pwns All crushing Drew Brees 42.67 to 10.33. Thier recievers outscored Beckham's recivers 53.23 to 17.23. Just ugly. Cromer's ANgry Smash! got 25 points from the NEw York Giants defense and 13.13 points from Edgerrin James. Beckham Pwns All got 18.43 points from Tiki Barber, 14.50 points from Shane Graham and 14.13 points from Domanick Davis.

Tolman(1-1) 111.06Dogs in the Bathtub(0-1) 100.11
Matt Hasselback outscored Micheal Vick for Tolman 31.97 to 18.47 to provid the margin of victory for them. The Cincinatti Bengals defense added 22 points and Terry Glenn added 19.47 points for Tolman. T.J. Houshmandzadeh scored 19.77 points, Lawrence Tynes added 13 points, Mike Vrabel contributed 11.50 and Jerramy Stevens put in 10.77 for the Dogs in the Bathtub.

Stevies Scapegoats(1-1)87.04 Pelan's Bobcats(1-1) 76.80
Jake Delhomme was disappointing last week putting up only 8.5 points to Tom Brady's 23.50 but Stevies Scapegoats were saved by thier defense who put up 39 points to the Bobcat's 12 points due to two goose eggs due to a blank roster spot and an inactive player.Chad Johnson contributed 18.77 points for the Scapegoats while Roy Williams scored 14.90 points for the Bobcats.

WBI-461(2-0) 104.54 Fiesty Clowns(0-2)86.43
Steve Jackson and Duece McALlister outsocred Kevin Jones and Chris Perry 23.34 to 9.66 to provide the difference in a tight matchup. Kerry Collins added 24.93 points, Anquan Boldin put in 11.93 points and both Jay Feeley and Antonio Pierce scored 10 points a piece for WBI-461. The Fiesty Clowns were led by Daunte Culpepper who scored 18.03 points, DOnald Driver who scored 16 points and the NEw York Giants defense who added 12.

WEEK 3 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(2-0) vs. WBI-461(2-0)
The X-Cats best opportunity may lie in exploiting the Marc Bulger/ Kerry Collins matchup as Bulger is going against the rebuilding Titans at home while Collins could be running for his life all day against the vicious Eagles defense. This could be a double bonus for the X-Cats as they have the Phiadelphia Eagles defense as well. The X-Cats need a big week from their defense becasue the running back matchup is even and could go either way.

Jc's Evil Empire(2-0)vs. sigmakittens(0-2)
The only chace the kitties have is massive games from Holmes and Green because they will be hard pressed to match the Evil Empire's firepower even if Big Ben doesn't make thing happen against New England.

Nor Cal Crushers(1-1) vs. Tomahawks(1-1)
Is this the week Peyton Manning makes things happen for the Tomahawks? They'd better hope so because their running backs Tatum Bell and Brandon Jacobs cannot match Lamont Jordan and Shaun Alexander. The Crushers need to fill in a spot for Ray Lewis who is on a bye.

Cooney Quest(1-1)vs. Cromer Angry Smash!(2-0)
The Smash are hoping Brett Farve continues to improve against eh very tough Bucs D but the Quest's Kurt Warner has yet to make any plays this season so Farve doesn't have to do alot to win the matchup. The Smashhave the advantage in the running game unless Ronnie Brown can play more like his ols Aubirn running mate Cadillaic Williams.


Beckham Pwns All(1-1)Dogs in the Bathtub(0-2)
Beckham Pwns All has a bigtimne advantage with Micehal Vick hurting ont he road against a very nasty (and angry) Bills defense and not muchat running back for the Dogs. If Drew Brees makes plays they should win easily.



Tolman(1-1)vs. Stevies Scapegoats(1-1)
Tolman is sleeping at the wheel going with a bye saddled Clinton Portis leaving only backup Travis FIsher to take on the SCapegoat's Kyle Johnson and Warrick Dunn. Unless Matt Hasselback can pound Jake Delhomme things look pretty grim for them.

Pelan's Bobcats(1-1) vs. Mechanicatz(1-1)
Not sure if the Mechinacatz's Drew Bledsoe can dominate former understudy Tom Brady but the Steelrs D may. WHat really could do the Bobcats in is Roy Williams and MAtt Stover on a bye, an absent Peppi Zellner on defense, a who's tha? forFabian Washington and the blank spot on the defense. Making it way to easy for the Mechinacatz.

Fiesty Clowns(0-2)vs.wst Coast Style(0-2)
Yet another case of roster mismanagment as wst Coast Style has two players on byes palying.Chris Cooley and MArcus Pollard taking up a roster spot. Fortunately the league did them a favor and vetoed the McNAbb for Dilfer so Donovan is still there to destroy the non existant Raiders defense for his team while the Clowns are frustrated with Daunte Culpeppers poor production so far and a weak backfield with Mewelde Moore and Chris Perry. Mike ALscott isn't the offense threat he once was but Fast Willie PArker could be huge for wst Coast Style.

WEEK 3 RESULTS

WBI-461(3-0) 123.77 Koko's X-Cats(2-1) 113.02
WBI-461 used a 29.27 to 3.73 advantage in the reciving game to race past the X-Cats in a battle of the unbeatens. WBI-461 got 35.43 points from Kerry Collins, 17 points from both ZAch Thomas and the NEw Orleans Saints defense and 13.47 points from Duece McAllister. The X-Cats got 34.43 points from Marc Bulger, 20.53 points from Julius Jones, 15.33 points from Willis McGahee, 15 points from Dwight Freeney and 13 points from Paul Edinger.

Jc's Evil Empire(3-0)152.79 sigmakittens(0-3) 99.50
The only chace the kitties have is massive games from Holmes and Green because they will be hard pressed to match the Evil Empire's firepower even if Big Ben doesn't make thing happen against New England.
LaDanian Thomlinson outscored the Kansas City studs 42.03 to 32.57. Not a good sigh for the kitties. Big Ben put up 26.03 points Westbrook put up 28.87 and Terrell Owens contributed 15.53 points. Josh Brown put in 15.50 points, Rod Smith added 14.83 points, and Troy Williamson added 13.03 points. Obviously it wasn't enough.

Nor Cal Crushers(2-1)161.76 Tomahawks(1-2)105.67
Is this the week Peyton Manning makes things happen for the Tomahawks?
Guess not. Jake Plummer 24.17 Manning 14.90.
The Colts are having a great season but Manning has been the biggest Fantasy Football dud so far this season.
They'd better hope so because their running backs Tatum Bell and Brandon Jacobs cannot match Lamont Jordan and Shaun Alexander.
I got this one dead on. Jordan and Alexander 46.63 Bell and Jacobs 3.30.
The Crushers got 33.70 points from Steve Smith, 14.50 points from Donnie Edwards, 11.50 points from the Dallas Cowboys defense and 10 points from Nate Kaeding. They didn't need Ray Lewis help this week.
The Tomahawks got 19 points from the Indianapolis Colts defense, 15.13 points from Antonio Gates, and 14.67 points from Jason Witten.

Cromer Angry Smash!(3-0)112.13 Cooney Quest(1-1)105.14
It was a close cal but the Smash escaped the relentless Quest but won out basically due to Brett Farve far outperforming Kurt Warner 20.97 to 8.37. It's really as simple as that.
The Smash got 18 points from the Jacksonville Jaguars defense, 16.13 points from Edggerin James and 12.53 points from Robert Ferguson.
The Quest got 19.33 points from Keenan McCardell, 17.30 points from Ronnie Brown and 14 points from the New England Patritos defense.


Beckham Pwns All(2-1)120.07 Dogs in the Bathtub(0-3) 72.17
Beckham Pwns All has a bigtimne advantage with Micehal Vick hurting on the road against a very nasty (and angry) Bills defense and not much at running back for the Dogs. If Drew Brees makes plays they should win easily.
Well Mciehal Vick did his part matching Drew Brees nearly point for point but absolutely no one else stepped up for the Dogs and they fell easily.
Beckham got 16.50 from the Miami Dolphins defense, 13.17 from David Givens and 11.20 from Micheal Jenkins.


Stevies Scapegoats(2-1)124.03 Tolman(1-2) 109.79
Tolman is sleeping at the wheel going with a bye saddled Clinton Portis leaving only backup Travis FIsher to take on the Scapegoat's Kyle Johnson and Warrick Dunn. Unless Matt Hasselback can pound Jake Delhomme things look pretty grim for them.
Well Tolman wasn't so badly hurt by the Scapgoats backs as they managed only 7.63 points. BUt Delhomme smackdowned Hasselbeck 34.00 to 18.07.
The SCapegoats got 18.57 points from Chad Johnson, 14.00 from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense and 13.50 from Adam Vinateri .
Tolman got 15.43 points from Keyshawn Johnson, 15 points from the Cincinatti Bengals defense, 12.33 points from Darrell Jackson, and 12 points from Rain Lindell.

Mechanicatz(2-1)156.46 Pelan's Bobcats(1-2) 98.14
Not sure if the Mechinacatz's Drew Bledsoe can dominate former understudy Tom Brady but the Steelrs D may.
Bledsoe is still hot putting up 50.43 while Brady got a solid 35.90
What really could do the Bobcats in is Roy Williams and MAtt Stover on a bye, an absent Peppi Zellner on defense, a who's tha? for Fabian Washington and the blank spot on the defense. Making it way to easy for the Mechinacatz.
And that is exactly what killed the Bobcats or at least it didn't help them at all.
The Mechanicatz got 21.37 points from Torry Holt, 21.33 points from Hienz Ward, 16.00 points from the Atlanta Falcons defense, 11.03 points from Carnell Williams and 10 points from Mike Brown.
The Bobcats got 18.60 points from Corey Dillon, 16.00 points from the Seattle Seahawks defense and 15.20 points from Chris Chambers. But unfortunately they only got 12.44 points from 8 other positions on their roster.

Fiesty Clowns(0-2)119.60 wst Coast Style(0-2)87.37
Yet another case of roster mismanagment as wst Coast Style has two players on byes palying.Chris Cooley and MArcus Pollard taking up a roster spot. Fortunately the league did them a favor and vetoed the McNAbb for Dilfer so Donovan is still there to destroy the non existant Raiders defense for his team while the Clowns are frustrated with Daunte Culpeppers poor production so far and a weak backfield with Mewelde Moore and Chris Perry. Mike ALscott isn't the offense threat he once was but Fast Willie Parker could be huge for wst Coast Style.
The Culpepper/McNabb scrap was as usual a classic with McNabb comming out on top 47.70 to 40.83 but outside of the Minnesota Vikings defense scoring 16 points for wst Coast Style no one else made it into double digits while the New York Jets defense scored 16.50 points, Eddie Kennison scored 11.47 points and Terrence Kiel scored 11 points.

WEEK 4 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(2-1) vs. Fiesty Clowns(2-2)
It's now obvious to the Clowns that Daunte Culpepper misses Randy Moss alot and with the X-Cats having Marc Bulger the Clowns really need him to suceed as the X-Cats have a tough pair of running backs while their backs are facing tough defenses.

Jc's Evil Empire(3-0)vs. Cromer Angry Smash!(3-0)
An early season brawl for first place! The Evil Empire has Thomlinson and Westbrook but the Smash's Stephen Davis and Edgerrin James aren't far behind in production. The Evil Empire for some reason decided to go with Tim Rattay and if Brett Farve can be productive may open a window of opportunity for the Smash.

Nor Cal Crushers(2-1) vs. sigmakittens(0-3)
The Nor Cal Crushers are so confident that they will easily defeat the kitties they even left a roster spot open. The kitties would be in better shape if Priest Holmes was more productive. As it is there is no way he can outdo Shaun ALexnader and Lamont Jordan.

Tomahawks(1-2) vs.wst Coast Style(0-3)
wst Coast Style coninues the same sins they made last week. This time having three blank bye produced roster spots making things easy for the Tomahawks unless Donovan McNabb play out of his mind again while the TOmahawks continue to wait for Peyton Manning to wake up.

Dogs in the Bathtub(0-3) vs. Cooney Quest(1-2)
Now it is the Quest's turn to hamstring themselves. Kurt Warner is out but is starting for the Quest and they are missing a running back even though ahman Green is far better than the DOgs JJ Arrington and Kevan Barlow.

Beckham Pwns All(2-1)vs. Stevies Scapegoats(2-1)
Beckham goes without the Dolphins defense and a starter on defense.THey need big games from Brees. Barber and Chris Brown to off set the loss of those points.Delhomme could be huge for the SCapegoats on Monday night.

Tolman(1-2)vs. Mechanicatz(2-1)
Tolman also sticks to his bad habits and sports two blanks on defense and thus need Matt Hasselback (on the road no less) and Clinton Portis to produce. Cadillac Williams could prove deadly to Tolman on Sunday running alll over the Lions.


Pelan's Bobcats(1-2) vs. WBI-461(3-0)Like so many before him Pelan has left two spots blank and needs Tom Brady, Rudi Johnson and COrey Dillon to take up the slack for them.WIth McALlister, Steve Jackson and Kerry Collings on the otehr side so it may not matter what they do on the weekend.

Lol i had to go with Rattay BigBen has a Bye id rather take a few points over zero

i wouldn't call it a brawl because he is going to get pounded in to ground!

[EddieMcD]

Is it sad that most of Dante Hall’s 22 points were yardage?

Rhode Island Voltaic (3-0) d. Stevies Scapegoats (1-2)
91-58
Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, welcome to scoreboard! Rhode Island was looking for them all year, and they put up 20 and 8, respectively. Dunn also added 12. The Scapegoats had Joey Galloway score 14, Kaeding with 11, and a defensive effort of 22. The rest of their offense kinda stunk though. The Voltaic didn’t need Dante Hall to bail them out this week, but dang if that 22 isn’t pretty, helping put them in first.

Koko's X-Cats (1-2) d. west coast style (1-2)
69-65
In this match, you either scored big, or you didn’t at all. WCS had Harrison and Owens combine for 32, and a 13 from Donnie Edwards. The X-Cats RBs totaled 23, Burress topped the game with 22, and Philadelphia had 12. It’s the little things though that made this matchup. Note the 0 and two 1s from what was left of WCS’s offense. The X-Cats find themselves in another tough match; this time they manage to win.

Nor Cal Crushers (2-1) d. The Tacoites (1-2)
60-25
Well this was lopsided… Tomlinson again scored big with 19. And once again, Plummer and McGee break into double digits for Nor Cal. It doesn’t look like the appropriately named Crushers needed much else. Considering the top score for the Tacoites was a 7, this was over quickly.

Dunedain (0-3) d. QC Elite (0-3)
76-39
Somebody had to win this one (well, I guess barring a tie). Smart money would’ve been on Dunedain, since they had lost two very close matches. And that bet would’ve paid off. Going down their list: Brees, Barber, and Jimmy Smith all put up 12, Kansas City and Anquan Boldin both put up 11. The Elite had a nice defensive score of 22, and Brooks got them 9. Unfortunately, they didn’t get much else. Dunedain keeps getting better every week, putting their first W on their record.

FIRSTforce (3-0) d. Pelan's Bobcats (1-2)
55-34
I’ll go out on a limb and say this wasn’t the best week for either team. For the Bobcats, It was poor offense (not including Alexander’s 10) and a defense with no players playing. For the Force, it was nothing better than semi-decent (other than Rackers’s 19 from the K spot). Of course, semi decent + 19 will beat lack of defense + poor offense + 10 any day, keeping FIRSTforce in the undefeated group.

Team THRUST (2-1) d. hurricanes (1-2)
77-30
Yay, Donovan McNabb scoring 20! At least it would be a yay for the Canes if you couldn’t count the rest of their score on your fingers. Yay, Eli Manning scoring 20! And for Team Thrust, it was a yay. They also had a defensive 25, a Torry Holt 10, and a Stephen Davis 15 on their side of the scoreboard. Seeing as we’re all FIRSTers and therefore good at math, you can, well, do the math.

sigmakittens (1-2) d. Cooney Quest (2-1)
45-37
I’d say this is another breakdown of Cooney’s prized offense, but that’s not entirely true. Brett Favre went to town on Sunday, scoring 24, and even Duckett put up 8. But this time, I can count the rest of the Quest’s score on one hand (ironically, they also had five donuts). “Now that the kitties have broke through they are in position to take another one if Jake Delhomme and Priest Holmes play like they are supposed to.” Yeah. But they only combined for 19. The rest of the offense at least added points though, and their defense, while not awe-inspiring, managed to add 15. Both teams now stand at 2-2.

Feisty Klowns (1-2) d. IwillCrushYou (2-1)
61-47
IWCY just had a week where his roster couldn’t mesh with the byes. Despite that, they still managed to make a fight out of this, getting 8 from Hasselbeck, 24 from the receivers, and 10 from San Diego. But those three blank spots couldn’t hold up to the Klowns dual 10s from James and Driver, a Cincinnati 12, and Janikowski’s 13. Another match where both teams move to 2-2.

Your Ad Here (3-0) d. Jc's Evil Empire (1-2)
56-40
YAH is practically looking for someone to knock them off the undefeated ranks. It didn’t happen here. Arizona’s 18 in Mexico was probably their saving grace, as their only other good score was a 10 from the K spot. The Empire’s saving grace from last week, Bledsoe, was quiet. Their best score came from Steven Jackson and his 11. While both teams each had a single zero, YAH’s average score was about a point better than the Empire’s, keeping YAH, as previously mentioned, undefeated.

Coco's Monkeys (1-2) d. Akshar Did It (3-0)
50-24
I get to say it for the second week in a row: ew. ADI got off to a decent start with Mark Brunell’s 9. Then it all went downhill, with nobody else scoring better than 5 (and the New England DEF getting PWNed and putting up -5 didn’t help). For the Monkeys, Corey Dillon again came through with 10. He would be supported by Carney’s 10 and Baltimore's 11. This is another one of those “do the math” situations.

Curse me breaking 90 and disproving my footnote from last week! Anyway, not much out of the ordinary right now. The fantasy scores seem to be clumping together better than they were earlier (okay, not Cory's ). I guess I'll finish by pointing out that the any of the Voltaic, Crushers, and X-Cats could've easily been 2-2, 3-1, and 4-0 in any order had the first three weeks been even slightly different.

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 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!

WEEK 4 RESULTS

[ COLOR=Navy]Fiesty Clowns(2-2)[/color] 122.66Koko's X-Cats(2-2)121.03
The X-Cats raced out to a large early lead and looked like they were going to cruise to an easy victory then Donald Driver and Nick Barnett combined for 26.63 points and snatched victory for the Clowns from the frustrated X-Cats. Marc Bulger led the X-Cats scoring with 51.90 points, the Philadelphia Eagles defense scored 20 points and Willis McGahee added 13.73 points. THe FIesty Clowns got 21.50 points from Daun te Culpepper and 19.30 points from Eddie Kennison.



Cromer Angry Smash!(4-0)150.77Jc's Evil Empire(3-1) 99.86
In the end it wasn't even close. Brett Farve's huge Monday night made it a rout due to TIm Rattay's crappy performancce which is getting him benched. Farve crushed Rattay 49.90-6.63. Stephen Davis scored 17.30, Larry Fitzgerald added 16.30 points, Edgerrin James scored 13.80 points, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense scored 12 points and Jeremy Shockey added 11.80 points for the Smash. LaDanian Thomlinson scored 24.70 points and Terell Owens scored 23.90 points.

Nor Cal Crushers(3-1) 116.73sigmakittens(0-4) 79.59

The Nor Cal Crushers are so confident that they will easily defeat the kitties they even left a roster spot open. The kitties would be in better shape if Priest Holmes was more productive. As it is there is no way he can outdo Shaun ALexnader and Lamont Jordan.

And it turns out they didn't need the extra points and Holmes was no match for ALexnader and Jordan as they outscored him 31.17 to 15.96. Carson Palmer added 27.63 for the Crushers as well as Donnie Edwards 12.50, Nate Kaeding's 12 points, Ray Lewis 11.00 and the Dallas Cowboy's defense added 10 points. Byron Leftwich scored 19.20 points for the kitties and Jonathan Vilma scored 13.50

Tomahawks(1-2) 137.21wst Coast Style(0-3)105.33
Donovan McNabb was his usual explosive self for wst Coast Style scoring an impessive 56.73 points. More than half their points. Outisde of Donte' Stallworth's 12.60 points and John Carney's 11 points. Peyton Manning finally showed up with a hearty 43 points. Plexico Burress scored an awesome 46.60 points. The Indinaapolis Colts scored 12 points and Antonio Gated added 10.20 points.


Dogs in the Bathtub(1-3)97.17 Cooney Quest(1-2)62.20
The Quest fell hard to the Dogs with Joey Harringotn leading the way with an all right 12.87 points followed by Patrick Crayton's 10.70 points and Brandon Lloyd's 10.30 points. THe Dogs were led by Neil Rackers 23 points, Michael Vick added 14.50 points, T.J. Houshmandzadeh put in 11.33 points and Mike Vrabel added 10.5 points.

Stevies Scapegoats(3-1)130.82Beckham Pwns All(2-2) 88.70

Beckham goes without the Dolphins defense and a starter on defense.THey need big games from Brees. Barber and Chris Brown to off set the loss of those points.Delhomme could be huge for the SCapegoats on Monday night.

Going with the bench bound JP Losman over Drew Brees was not very bright. The only starter in double digits for Beckham was Shayne Graham. MEanwhile Jake Delhomme slammed in 26.17 points while Marvin Harrison scored 23.77 points Warrick Dunn contributed 15.37 points , L.J. Smith scored 14.97 points, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense scored 11 points and Reggie Wayne scored 10.20 points.

Mechanicatz(3-1)124.84Tolman(1-3)100.41

Tolman also sticks to his bad habits and sports two blanks on defense and thus need Matt Hasselback (on the road no less) and Clinton Portis to produce. Cadillac Williams could prove deadly to Tolman on Sunday running alll over the Lions.

Well Matt HAsselback did his part and produced a solid 28.13 points but Clinton Portis only scored 9.20 points. It came down to those two blank spots allowing the Mechanicatz D to run circles around Tolman's D 59.5 to 32.5. Drew Bledsoe scored 17.03 points for the Mechanicatz, Torry Holt scored 15.10 points and Randy Moss scored 10.20 points.

WBI-461(4-0)128.52Pelan's Bobcats(1-3) 67.73


Like so many before him Pelan has left two spots blank and needs Tom Brady, Rudi Johnson and COrey Dillon to take up the slack for them.WIth McALlister, Steve Jackson and Kerry Collings on the other side so it may not matter what they do on the weekend.

Brady, Johnson and Dillon combined for 39.33 points. More than half their paltry sum. The defnesive weakness did them in scoring 11.50 points total while WBI-461 got 47 points on defense. WBI-161 also got 17.43 points from Steven Jackson, 17 points from Jay Feely , 13.70 points from Kerry Collins, and 10.73 points from Deuce McAllister .

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 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

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.
