WEEK SIX REPORT
I am just going to come out and say it: There
was a lot of trash talking, taunting, and overall poor sportsmanship this
past weekend amongst league owners. It was great to see, and it made for
some exciting finishes, especially on Monday night. The best taunt of the
week occurred in the Jacksonville-Miami game on Monday night, where Scott's...Savants
led Up Your Butt Jo-Boo by 2 points heading into the game. The Savants
had RB Fred Taylor playing while Up Your Butt had QB Mark Brunell. On the
opening play from scrimmage Taylor ran 70+ yards for a TD and later added
a short rushing TD. It appeared that the M.N.C. (Monday Night Chisel) would
get the best of O'Brien's Up Your Butt Jo-Boo squad...until about 15 minutes
later when Taylor went down with an injury and didn't return to the game.
Then Brunell threw deep twice and before you could say "That'll teach
ya, Savant!" the M.N.C. had shifted and Phillips was left with a 3
point loss.
Speaking of teaching, T.T.M.F. Little Johnny's
owner, Rosebud, had quite a few words for yours truly prior to the Monday
night game. We got into quite a little shit-talking battle as to whether
or not RB Karim Abdul-Jabbar would score the 14 fantasy points necessary
to beat my P.O. Steve team. Needless to say, despite my horrible overall
points total for the year, P.O. Steve improved to 4-2 while the Johnnies
dropped to 2-4. I guess drinking Steve does have its advantages over drinking
water.
A couple of other things I couldn't help mentioning....
Rueff, where were you at the draft? You know,
when it was time to draft wide receivers for our teams? Five combined fantasy
points from your starting receivers in each of the last two weeks can't
be a fluke.
And Phillips, what is up with trading away
RB Terry Allen for WR Michael Irvin and then starting Irvin for only one
week (where he got you just 1 point) and then trading him away for RB Fred
Taylor? Getting Irvin was a great move, especially for a team that relies
on Michael Westbrook and Frank Sanders on a weekly basis. Surely Irvin's
1 point performance in Week 5 didn't persuade you to unload him....or did
it? Because essentially you just traded Terry Allen for Fred Taylor, which
wasn't a horrible move, but in light of your team's situation it was a
borderline Savant manuever.
Here's how this week's games ended:
The Murph Killers
defeated The
Fat Bus by the score of 91-85,
placing both teams in a two-way tie for the Lip Conference lead at 4-2.
PPP: Gorilla Patch Junkies
defeated Jo-Boo's Browns Backers
108-83, giving
the Browns Backers their first loss of the year. They still lead the Hair
Conference with a 4-1-1 record, but only by a 1/2 game. The Junkies improved
to 2-4 on the year while getting the victory in a game that was nearly
a must-win situation if they wanted to keep their playoff chances alive.
Up Your Butt Jo-Boo
defeated Scott's...Savants
89-86. For Up
Your Butt it was also a must-win game if they wanted to keep a reasonable
chance to make the postseason. They improved to 2-4 while the Savants fell
to 3-2-1 and moved from 2nd place in the Hair Conference down to 3rd place.
P.O. Steve held
on to his slim lead over T.T.M.F. Little Johnny
in the Monday night game and won 81-76.
P.O. Steve improves to 4-2 on the year and jumps into 2nd place in the
Hair Conference, while the Johnnies fell to 2-4 and are in 4th place in
the Lip Conference.
4th and Joey, NGL©
demolished Rais'n the Rueff
by the score of 92-51.
4th and Joey, NGL© had a surprisingly huge day from their
running backs - not their wide receivers. For the second straight week,
the Rueff Raisers had single digit point production from their receivers.
And to think, Derrick Alexander got his first TD of the year this week......
That'll teach!
Taunt you next week...
