Beanpot's League ONE: The GM/Coach of WVBrownsfan declares his team "Mediocrity at its best." Calfox countered on behalf of his KosarDawgs, "(We're) worse than mediocre. Maybe we'll get to mediocre this week." The two teams faced off this week in the battle for mediocrity and the result was ... a tie. It was a bittersweet outcome for both teams made either better ... or worse for Calfox because the tie was a result of the zero points posted by Buffalo's Lee Evans in the game against Cleveland. If you see Calfox and he has a bruise in the middle of his forehead, it's likely because he's been banging his head against anything immobile. The tie leaves the KosarDawgs in fourth place at 6-4-1, a hairs breadth ahead of WPB Browns and the BrownDogs at 6-5-0.

WPB Browns, suffering from a late season slump, dropped their third in a row, losing to Greenville Mayhem 63-80. Anquan Boldin (25) and Frank Gore (19) helped boost Mayhem over the 1000 point mark for the season. The point total could prove to be a significant factor in determining whether or not the team ends up in the playoffs. Mayhem has a critical matchup this week against the league leading Beanpot, who has won three in a row. This week's 97-46 win for Beanpot came at the expense of OYGB who showed some spark earlier in the season but has started to fade.

The BrownDogs kept themselves in the hunt by defeating the Ballantyne CraZeez, 84-69.

Beanpot's League TWO: The Cleveland Cribbs, trying to make a run for the playoffs, can thank Joseph Addai (26) for the 89-87 win over NavDawg. This gives the Cribbs a record of 5-6-0 heading into what should be an easy game against the PackRats. Week 13 follows with what could prove to be the decisive game of the season against THE HAMMER. The battle for the fourth seed in the playoffs is still very much up for grabs.

The Usual Suspects subjected Lambdo's AirShow to a 102-73 drubbing. Brady Quinn was in and was expected to ignite the AirShow. Instead, Brady (4), Jamal Lewis (4), and Kellen Winslow (5) kept Lambdo fizzling on the ground.

Beanpot delivered a 94-58 knockout punch to another beer please whose only hope is an early draft pick next season. Julius Jones, Edgerrin James, and Lee Evans all dished out goose eggs to go with that brew for abp.

The Suspects and Beanpot scrimmage this week in a game that could decide the top seed in League TWO.

The spoilers added some spice to the mix this week. Huskymania relished a 32 point performance from Matt Cassell and kicked the Traveling Pants where it hurt, 84-69. And Jumpin' Jack Flash put the whammy on the Rookies 90-78.

Tom Flugel's League THREE: Not to be outdone by Heidi, Tom waxed creative in the holiday spirit this week. Here's his inspired report:

Twas the month before playoffs

and all through League Three

the teams were compete'n

for the post season to be.

The scoreboard shall tell us

who's naughty or nice:

Flugelmaniacs

82 Final

Devil Dawgs

79

Flugel: Shaun Hill 22, Steve Slaton 16, Wes Welker 14

Devil Dawgs: TJ Houshmandzadeh 27, Michael Turner 17, GB Def 16

Furnier's Devil Dawgs only needed 4 points from speedster Lee Evans on Monday Night vrs the much maligned Cleveland Secondary. But Flugel's waterboys kept the secondary well hydrated and uncramped for the mission. Evans got 0 catches for 0 yards in operation focus and finish. A much needed win for the Flugelmaniacs as they await guys like Jason Witten and Reggie Bush returning to health.

Cleveland Steamers

103 Final

Calfox KosarDawgs

78

Steamers: Hines Ward 19, Tyler Thigpen 17, NYG Def 17

Calfox: Phil Dawson 21, Brandon Jacobs 16, Philly Def 14

Ebeneezer Scrooge's Steamers only let Calfox Cratchet's kicker have fun. The rest of the Cratchet's couldn't outhustle Tiny Tim for points. Rumor has it Tiny Tim has lent Brandon Jacobs his cane. Stay tuned though because the Ghosts of Christmas present and Christmas future has a soft spot for those poor Cratchets.

Team Sabre

68 Final

Choo Choo's

46

Team Sabre: Larry Fitzgerald 20, Matt Forte 12, Brandon Marshall 11

Choo Choos: Kevin Curtis 11, Jay Cutler 10, Chris Johnson 9

Practicing for the Christmas season ahead, the Grinch thought he'd sharpen his skills for his annual road trip to Whoville by stopping by League 3 to steal some Batteries, Scoreboard and Gatorade away from those Choo Choos. Unfortunately for the rest of League 3 - all that probably did was restore the old "I think I can" mentality the Choo Choos were able to repeat 8 weeks in a row.

Rice's Rampage

97 Final

Believeland

100

Rice: Marshawn Lynch 26, Peyton Manning 18, Greg Jennings 15

Believeland: Anquan Boldin 25, Dwayne Bowe 22, Jonathan Stewart 15

Thaak's Believeland kept the faith but it's a shame someone had to lose when both teams scored at least 97 points. There's an old saying old school coaches like to remind their players about as the scoring of superstars gets tallied: "We're only as good as our last guy." Unfortuantely for Rice's Rampage, Earnest Graham's injury resulted in 0 points. One might say Earnest Saved Christmas in Believeland.

Fan Of STEEL

60 Final

Wating For Noodles 3

65

FOS: Marion Barber 21, Jerricho Cotchery 14, Santonio Holmes 9

Waiting for Noodles: Joseph Addai 26, Reggie Wayne 13, Donald Driver 8

Waiting For Noodles exercised their Nerves of Steel as they cooled down another hot team. Their latest victim is the Fan of Steel. It looked like Jack Frost didn't allow any Steelers to heat up in the FOS lineup. Meanwhile the mother nature supplied enough heat indoors at Indy to allow Addai and Wayne to bring the noodles to a winning boil.

Bermeck's Ky Hicks

41 Final

The Noble Savages

90

Bermeck KY Hicks: Ryan Grant 16, Steve Smith 8, Chad Johnson 6

Noble Savages: Frank Gore 19, Calvin Johnson 16, Josh Brown 12

While the Noble Savages would like to thank Bermey's KY Hicks for playing Secret Santa one more time - let's not forget only 3 of our 12 teams scored more than the 90 points the Savages put up. 5 of the 8 starting Savages produced double digit points, and one more finished with 9 points to reflect a well balanced attack.

Season Ending Injury

120

# Illegal Procedure Leaders: Wes Welker 14, Randy Moss 10

# Season Ending Injury Leaders: Matt Cassel 32, Marion Barber 21

Notes:

1)Team DangeRuss lost 11 pts by playing RB Chris Johnson instead of RB DeAngelo Williams

2) Season Ending Injury made an amazing recovery for a win and the league's high score of 120 pts. after last weeks devestatng loss. Unfortunately, SEI is going to have to do something with Earnest Graham who was left in again this week scoring 0 pts because his ankle injury may have him out the rest of the season.

3) 2yy4u could have doubled is 9 pts at his QB position to 18 by playing Payton Manning instead of Kurt Warner. He also came up with a 0 by playing RB Reggie Bush instead of Leon Washing (16) ouch.

4) RB Ryan Grant (16) and WR Lance Moore and their combined 36 pts sat on the bench watching as Plaxico Burress and Ronnie Brown played for a combonation of 11 pts for My Helmet's 2 Tight. Amazingly the team still won the match up despited Helmet's fumbleing move. Maybe they need to looses the helmet.

5) vdogrowz left 17 pts on his bench by playing WR LenDale White (3) instead of Maurice Jones-Drew.

6) Corky Crennels Byah! asked the smack question...whaen will fatboy get canned?

7) We come to DaManBeagles. Sigh. What can I say? I think when I said wake up league 4, DaManBeagles decided to put his team to sleep. Laurence Maroney who is still on the IR was left in yet again. Agreed that he does not have much to work with at RB but the option to go and get another RB from the players list is still there.

So I don't leave the impression that the news is all bad, Team DangeRuss and Brownsfaninkorea are battleing for the top and will probably do so in the playoffs making for some excitement in the league and the rest of league 4 is giving their best shots to make it into the top spots.
