WEEK TEN REPORT
      
Last week in the report, I told you that Week Ten was huge and that you shouldn't blow it. Well some of you didn't listen. Apparently, some owners would much rather micro-manage their squad than make the playoffs. Let me tell you lips something that might help you going forward: getting cute on Sundays doesn't win rings.
 
Now before I name names I will admit that a few of this week's blunders didn't cost their teams a win. But they were still foolish acts, regardless of the outcome. Without further adieu, here is a list of the Top Ten Acts of Stupidity For Week Ten:
 
#10
TD Taunters decided to not play D/ST San Diego this week. They had been playing them regularly for most of the season. But this week they picked up the Jets defense and decided to give them a start. As we all know, the Chargers defense scored twice and recorded three turnovers. The Jets defense came up with a goose egg.
#9
Bullseye traded away Jerry Rice at the start of the week. They could have used his 20 points for sure.
#8
RB Fred Taylor, the player Bullseye received in the Jerry Rice deal, was not started this week -- so as to allow waiver wire stiff Kenny Watson a starting job. No I did not make this up.
#7
Dawson's Crizzzy didn't make any specific Week Ten blunders (although they did miss out on enjoying QB Tommy Maddox's 47 point outburst). But it is worth mentioning that the core of their "acquired players" really shit the bed this week. Garcia: 9 pts., Conway: 3 pts., McCaffrey: 5 pts, etc.
#6
TD Taunters picked up free agent WR Marvin Minnis, #5 on the Kansas City receivers depth chart.
#5
Pooh Bott Helmets picked up and started Detroit's kicker, Jason Hanson. 2 points... weeee!
#4
TD Taunters benched QB Marc Bulger (4 TDs) this week even though the greatest show on turf was playing one of the worst secondaries in the NFL.
#3
Gimme The Damn Ball! started QB Jake Plummer over Steve McNair and Joey Harrington. Plummer had only 9 points this week and they lost their game by 2. Ouch!
#2
Karen's Komets benched their best quarterback, Peyton Manning, to start the N.Y. Giants finest - QB Kerry Collins. Sure, the Komets still won, but they missed out on over 20 fantasy points.
And the biggest bonehead move of the week...
#1
The Savants actually thought they were going to win this week!
     
Here are the full results for Week Ten:
 
The Green Party (6-3-1) defeated Bullseye (6-4), 79-74. WR Jerry Porter came up big for The Green Party on Monday night. His 14 points brought down the chisel on interleague rival Bullseye. The Party is looking good for a playoff spot, and by virtue of the other teams in the Lip Conference - so is Bullseye.
 
Boston Stranglers (7-3) defeated Gimme The Damn Ball! (4-6), 119-117. This was a hard loss for the Damn Ball! to swallow. Sure they picked the wrong QB, but if it wasn't for a late game injury to RB Curtis Martin on Sunday night, they would have squeaked out a win here. This is the second high-scoring, close defeat of the year for this team who now looks like they'll be on the outside looking in when it comes down to playoff seedings. With the win, the Stranglers become the only team to clinch a playoff spot so far this season.
 
TD Taunters (5-5) defeated Dawson's Crizzzy (4-6), 90-73. The Taunters are rolling. Four straight wins and they now have a .500 record on the year. By virtue of this victory, the Taunters control their own destiny and can make the playoffs by winning just 2 of their final 3 games. The Crizzy is reeling. Their 2nd straight loss puts their back against the wall. Their playoff season begins this Sunday.
 
Pooh Bott Helmets (7-3) defeated Corey Dillon The Ball Carrier (2-8), 111-90. Eight straight losses for the Ball Carrier. The horror. In their defense, the Ball Carrier's opponents are averaging over 108 points per game this year. That's not something easily overcome. The Helmets once again have sole ownership of the Lip Conference's top spot. They are looking for that Round One bye but they have three tough games coming up on the schedule. Week Thirteen vs. Bullseye could very well determine the division champion.
 
Karen's Komets (5-4-1) defeated The Savants (3-7), 130-99. Lou Holtz is back! A buck thirty for Week Ten and a winning record. That oughta shut up Ty Willingham for awhile. The Savants are just about extinct. This time next week I will be announcing that they are officially a 2003 lottery team (shocker!).
       
Three weeks to go. It's crunch time, girls.
