WEEK THREE REPORT     There is no official "dog of the week" this week. Six teams scored between 68 and 72 points during Week 3 and two of them actually earned a victory. All six of them should be embarrassed -- although it was a low scoring week in the NFL. The headlines this past weekend were focused on injured players: Jamal Anderson, Ricky Watters, Mark Brunell, Warrick Dunn, Tiki Barber... and the list goes on. If you own one of these hurt players, I'm sure you'll be flooding my e-mail with waivers requests for their backups.   Here are the results for Week Three:   Eighty-Eight, Late! (1-2) defeated PTP: Peyton's Trailerpark Posse! (2-1), 90-87. This was a must win for the previously winless Eighty Eight, Late! squad who were glad to see their namesake, Torry Holt (#88), make his first TD catch of the year. Peyton's boys were out of sorts this week, as what has happened the last six times the tornado magnet crew has paid a visit to Foxboro. Historically, Eighty Eight, Late! has dominated this head-to-head matchup -- with this week's victory giving them 5 wins in 6 games.   Dippity-Doo (2-1) defeated Bullseye (1-2), 72-70. Dippity Doo squeaks out a close one as Bullseye's WR James Thrash comes back to reality. After 32 points last week, Thrash could only catch a couple of short passes in the rain. Speaking of reality checks, what was Dippity Doo thinking when they benched hall-of-famer Jerry Rice? Sure Peerless Price had a TD catch last weekend, but Rice was playing the Seahawks -- at home! We may never see such production from #80 again in our lifetime. (sigh)   The Savants (2-1) defeated Jo-Boo's Browns Backers (1-2), 81-68. Congratulations to The Savants! This was their first ever victory over the Browns Backers. That's about all you need to know about these two squads.   NGL© (2-1) defeated The Fruit Baskets (1-2), 106-70. Something is starting to smell a little rotten in the basket. For a team which is known for their strong running backs, The Fruit Baskets have yet to post solid numbers at this position. As for NGL©, they have the league's leading rusher in LaDainian Tomlinson -- which is an unexpected surprise this early in the year. If he keeps up the pace, they will contend for a prize late in the year.   Corey Dillon The Ball Carrier (2-1) defeated Marshall's Maulers (1-2), 71-69. The Maulers lost Jamal Anderson for the season. But luckily for them they acquired RB Ron Dayne in a trade earlier in the week - a player who might make a solid replacement. The unfortunate thing is that the trade (which sent Joe Horn to Eighty Eight, Late! in exchange for Dayne, J.J. Stokes, and Kerry Collins) cost them their Week Three contest. Forced to start Stokes on Monday night, the Maulers learned what many teams already had found out: You shouldn't start Stokes on Monday night. Corey Dillon & company got lucky this week.    Folks, it's as close as it can be after three weeks! Five teams have 2-1 records, while the other five teams are knotted at 1-2. With ten weeks left to go in the regular season, obviously anything can happen -- but let me be the first to predict what teams have very little chance to make the postseason...     Jo-Boo's Browns Backers - Just like last season, the Browns Backers have been hit early and often by the injury bug. First to go down was RB Terrell Davis, but that surprised nobody. Now, running backs Warrick Dunn and Tiki Barber are banged up. This squad is in serious trouble at tailback.   The Savants - Like clockwork, RB Fred Taylor inured some phantom part of his genitalia and will miss a good part of the FFL regular season. But running back is only part of The Savants' problem. The real trouble is at wide receiver, with yesterday's stars Eric Moulds, Michael Westrbrook, & Wayne Chrebet leading this team to subpar scoring three straight weeks.   Bullseye - Last year's champs, this years chumps. Bullseye has two things good going for them right now: Culpepper and James. That's it. Nothing more. I swear it. They learned this week that an all-star tight end surrounded by weak players (James Thrash, Plaxico Burress, & Troy Brown) spells disaster at the wide receiver position. The big question mark for this team is Michael Bennett. If the rookie running back can live up to the potential (and hype), then they might go places. But if he plays at a level similar to the first three weeks of the year, Bullseye is a sitting duck for their opponents. Priest Holmes, the running back they put on the trading block after last week, would have made a great start in their contest this week. Too bad they weren't as confident in him as their sales pitch would have indicated.     Next week features some good matchups so tune in next week to see who breaks away from the pack.   Late!         The Commish
