(WEEK SEVEN REPORT)
|
|
What a frightful week in the FFL! The decisions
made by some of the league's owners in Week Seven must have the dead turning
in their graves. For example, Marshall's Maulers
decided to start the Baltimore Ravens #2 and #3 receivers, Travis Taylor
and Brandon Stokely, respectively. In doing so, the Maulers benched Darnay
Scott -- the Bengal's #1 wide out who was playing against arguably the
worst defense in the league (Detroit)! And then you have Dippity
Doo, who once again made the wrong call with
his lineup. The Doo went with J.J. Stokes at wide receiver when Peerless
Price and Darrell Jackson were readily available. (For
those of you who do not track J.J. Stokes' stats, I'll let you in on a
little secret: He is horrible! He has averaged 14 yards receiving
per game over his last five games.)
In Dippity Dunce's defense, J.J. Stokes is indeed a member of their own
team's roster... and they did win their game anyway.
Here are the results for Week Seven:
PTP: Peyton's Trailerpark Posse!
(5-2) defeated NGL©
(4-2-1), 99-86.
Same story, different year: NGL© has no quarterback! This
week, due to injuries, they were forced to play Steve McNair - who managed
to post 12 points on Monday night. Watching him struggle must have brought
up some pretty painful memories for NGL. Peyton's tornado magnet dwellers
put up a very respectable 99 points this week in earning the victory. Not
too shabby an effort for this squad in the week after they lost their top
two receivers for the year. Of course, losing Crowell and Robinson moved
them down a notch in the all-too-important FFL power rankings.
Eighty-Eight, Late!
(3-4) defeated The Savants
(4-3), 100-92.
As is customary when these two bitter rivals square off, Eighty-Eight,
Late! called their opponent out in the days leading up to this game. As
they predicted would happen in their "Open Letter to The Savants,"
Eighty-Eight came out on top in a game they desperately needed to have.
The Savants could be in trouble from here on out. Their next two games
are against NGL© and Bullseye and they could be looking
at three straight losses when it's all said and done.
Bullseye (5-2)
defeated Marshall's Maulers (1-5-1),
91-80. Ho hum...
what did you expect would happen when Terrell Owens and Anthony Thomas
matched up against Tony Gonzalez and Priest Holmes? That's Right! The better
players earned their team a victory. At this point, the Maulers playoff
hopes are as dim as could be -- but they are in the overall points race
and could earn a cash prize at the end of the year. Couple that with the
role of playing spoiler, the Maulers could be a team just angry and determined
enough to ruin YOUR season. (They already ruined their own season.)
Dippity-Doo (4-3)
defeated The Fruit Baskets
(2-5), 92-85.
When the news came out that The Fruit Baskets were in a close fight heading
into Monday night -- you knew what was in store for them: the dreaded MNC.
Historically, their luck on Mondays has been worse than any other team
in any league in the nation. This week was no exception. They are definitely
still in the running for a Wild Card berth, and with six weeks remaining
I would not dare say they are eliminated. (Of course, next week I might
say it.)
Jo-Boo's Browns Backers
(2-5) defeated Corey Dillon The Ball Carrier
(4-3), 97-91.
It's only fitting that the league's Whore, Jo-Boo, would excel during Halloween
week. After prostituting themselves over the last couple of years, the
Browns Backers had some help from the evil spirits in knocking off Corey
Dillon The Ball Carrier. This was the Browns Backers second win over Corey
Dillon this year -- and they earned this latest win despite the enormous
36 point effort put up by the real Corey Dillon. To be swept by Jo-Boo
must be embarrassing.
That is all for this week... scare you later,
The Commish
