The league is starting to get some definition this week, with the top 4 teams winning and the bottom 4 teams losing. Two games were decided by 1.51 points. No one is undefeated this year, but there is going to be plenty of competition to get into the playoffs! Without further ado, this week's recap!
In the first of two very close games, Ur Momma edged out George Crush by 1.51 points to take her record to 5-1. Neither team had players scoring surprising numbers....just fairly solid play in most of the positions. It looks like the Detroit DEF is what let down the Crush, who even their record at 3-3. Good Job Angela!
In the second game decided by only 1.51 points, Fairmont Fury pulled ahead of the Nittany Mountaineers on Monday night with the arm of Mark Sanchez. Before Monday night NM had the lead, but abysmal play by the New Orleans DEF really cost them the game, dropping them to 1-5 overall. The Fury, in contrast, go to 4-2 on the season thanks to Sanchez and studly play by the Green Bay DEF. Good Job Bob!
The Battle of the Spouses this week featured the Mt. Morris teams. Like the Nittany Mountaineers, the beaten down Mayhem were winning. Monday Night Football came and the Mauraders' Santonio Holmes caught at TD pass, sealing the Mayhem's fate. The Mayhem also left Anquan Boldin on the bench. If he had been played the Mauraders would have still won, but it would have been by less than a point. TMQ recommends that the Mayhem ditch Tim Hightower, who has been nothing but a dud since being signed. Good Job Patrick! (That gives the Mauraders a 3-7 record against his wife).
In the biggest blowout of the week, the Powder Puffs ran over the Better Masons, winning by over 60 points. The Puffs got good play from their defense and star K Robbie Gould. For the second week in a row, Coach A. Mason had a player cost her points. This week TWO players scored in negative points, and the Better Masons left their highest scoring player, Rashard Mendenhall, on the bench! Let's hope that was a rookie mistake. Good Job Lori!
TheRiskers beat Silver Bullets soundly this week. No one had a chance this week against TheRiskers, who had the highest points thanks to three star players this week. QB Rodgers, WR Hester, and NYJ DEF combined scored almost 70% of TheRiskers' points! That puts TheRiskers in contention for the Triple C trophy with a 4-2 record. Silver Bullets evens out their record at 3-3. Good Job John!
In the final match-up of the week, top seeded Blitzburgh easily cruised past rookie Mason's Maulers. Blitzburgh's stud DEF and star TE helped their cause this week. They were also helped by the fact that the Maulers played a QB on a BYE with an available QB on the bench! Matt Ryan's 15.55 wasted points wouldn't have given the Maulers a win, but would have made the score respectable. The Maulers drop to 1-5 while Blitzburgh improves to 5-1. Good Job Buddy!
