WOOF WOOF: FFF wk 8
-
We're getting into the meat of the season and all the dawgs have their teeth and claws sharpened. They're scrapping, scraping and brawling in rabid attempts to dominate their respective leagues.
Beanpot's League ONE: The teams in League One should make space on their bulletin boards for the words of DTBH: "I may be the best ever... check that, I am the best ever." Those words were uttered just before DTBH took a bite out of Beanpot, defeating Beaner's charges 95-75. Peyton Manning (18) came back to life this week and Roddy White (27) collected two TD's for DTBH to put the game out of reach. The loss snapped Beanpot's winning streak and opened the door for WPB Browns to take over the league lead based on overall points (765). WPB Browns claimed first by whipping the Port City Cat Dawgs into submission, 79-63.
The single point tallied by TE Jason Witten was the margin of victory for the Brown Dogs who eked out a win over the Notredamers, 84-83. Santana Moss (30) made it tantalizingly close, but the NYJ defense (5) underperformed and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory for the Notredamers who suffered their fourth loss in a row.
After a rocky start (loss-tie-loss-tie-loss), OYGB added a third game to a winning streak by stifling WVBrownsfan 98-85. Brian Westbrook (31), Philip Rivers (22), and Tony Gonzalez (17) overcame a struggling WVBrownsfan who had to endure Plaxico Burress (4), Maurice Jones-Drew (5), and Warrick Dunn (2). If that weren't enough, Brownsfan will be hoping for a big game from Brett Favre this week as he steps in for Drew Brees who is on a bye.
Beanpot's League TWO: "Great day for a game and me without my starting RB's...Ripe for a loss," whined the Usual Suspects who proceeded to annihilate the Cleveland Cribbs 108-59. Leon Washington (21) and BenJarvus Green-Ellis (7) took over for vacationing RB's Steven Jackson and Justin Fargas. The Cleveland Cribbs, who are to be admired for their sportsmanship, responded simply, "At least the Browns won..."
Beanpot trailed the Rookies 81-83 going into Monday Night Football. Tennessee RB Chris Johnson enjoyed a 16 point outing against the Colts giving Beans the win, 97-83. The Rookies drop to third place at 5-3-0 behind the 6-2-0 Beanpot and the Usual Suspects, 7-1-0.
Navdawg, the only team to beat the Usual Suspects (81-79 in week 5), battled it out with another beer please in another MNF clash. Navdawg held a 56-53 edge over ABP going into the Monday night contest. It was Dominic Rhodes against Peyton Manning on ESPN to decide the outcome. Rhodes registered 70 yards rushing and 8 receptions for 39 yards, totalling only 14 points which were insufficient compared to Mannings 18. Another beer please heaved a sigh of relief when the 71-70 winning score was posted as FINAL. Edgerrin James' -1 for ABP could have lead to a tie had it not been offset by the single point registered by the Jags Defense in their faceoff with the Cleveland Browns.
THE HAMMER pounded Huskymania 108-68 and expected to share the Viagra award with the Usual Suspects, who downed the Cribbs by a score of 108-59. Sadly, it was not to be.
Tom Flugel's League THREE: The Choo Choo's railroaded the Flugelmaniacs 87-59, grabbing second place by matching the Maniac's 6-2-0 record. The Choo Choo's have won six in a row and trail the leader by only 5 points in the overall totals for the season. Commissioner Flugel was quick to point out that "first place only differs from 10th place by 3 games, so it's wide open."
The Cleveland Steamers chugged past Believeland 107-60. Ladainian Tomlinson (22), Andre Johnson (20), and the NYG Defense (16) pushed the Steamers past Vincent Jackson (14), Stephen Gostkowski (12), and Dwayne Bowe (12) of the Believeland club. The Steamers, Believeland, and The Noble Savages are clustered at 4-4-0.
Rice's Rampage can thank Roddy White (27), Dallas Clark (25), and Peyton Manning (18), for bringing home the blue pill award for week 8.
Rice gave Bermey's Hicks a very bad day, 109-64. This puts the Rampage, Fan of Steel, Team Sabre, and the Devil Dawgs in a skirmish on the heels of the Flugelmaniacs and Choo Choo's. The Devil Dawgs have quietly put together four W's in a row and are probably hoping no one will notice. (oops) Waiting for Noodles noticed when they surrendered to the Dawgs 63-77.Calfox KosarDawgs have installed an all-you-can-eat buffet in the 12th place lounge.
Heidi's League FOUR: It was a bloodbath at the top of League Four this week as 2yy4u, Brownsfaninkorea, Season Ending Injury, and Illegal Procedure all lost their games. Team DangeRuss miraculously leaped into first place after squeaking by My Helmet's 2 Tight, 93-91. The four losing teams and Team DangeRuss all have 5-3-0 records and are separated only by the tie-breaking cumulative point totals. Dirty Hands and Blitzburgh divide the top of the pack from the bottom at 4-4-0. The remaining 5 teams all have records of 3-5-0.
Costly coaching errors were to blame for some of the carnage. "Illegal Procedure chose to play RB Jonathan Stewart (1) while Mewelde Moore sat on the bench twiddling both his thumbs and his 13 points," reports Commissioner Heidi. IP lost to vdogrowz, 86-87. Season Ending Injury made the most egregious blunder by leaving Greg Jennings (bye week) in the lineup while Santana Moss (30) languished on the bench. Corky Crennels Byah! celebrated both the goof and the 69-54 victory.
Brownsfaninkorea left QB Matt Ryan (13) in the locker room in favor of Ben Roghtlisberger (1), losing to Blitzburgh 87-45. As the coaches left the gridiron, Brownsfaninkorea confronted Blitzburgh, "I got your qb and he plays like crap and gives up 4 picks." Security personnel separated the two coaches before further conflict could erupt.
League FIVE: Contact!! At a remote location in cyberspace, contact has been made with the GM of a team in League Five. An unidentified source who recently participated in the Browns Board Fantasy Basketball draft, confirmed that he has a team in the long lost organization. He declined to post any details regarding the matchups or standings in the league citing possible embarrassment as the reason for his refusal.
It's been a fun week for fantasy sports geeks. Clearly it ain't over 'til it's over.

Team DangeRuss persevered through a week of turmoil and team in-fighting to pull out a must win at crunch time. This could be a turning point for this great team, one that has underachieved up until now.
Who wants some of Team DangeRuss? Come and get some.

Thanks for the fine reports.

Kathy will not be writing next week as she will be too emotionally unstable after I dismantle her team this week in league one. Fortunately, this was an awesome write-up and will hold us over until week 10.Very funny.
Because of the bye week neither one of us will be fielding our best team so I think the "any given Sunday" rule applies. I've put your quote on the team bulletin board for inspiration and I'm confident my team will be highly motivated to give their best effort. I'm betting you'll be crying in your beer after MNF.
