WEEK FOUR REPORT
Our first full week of interleague games has
concluded, and it looks like the Hair Conference teams took it to their
Lip Conference counterparts. The Hairs tallied three wins, 1 tie, and 1
loss. The big "winner" out of all these cross-divisional games
was Bullseye -- who managed to grab a Week Four victory. That is something
all the other teams in the Lip Conference could not accomplish this week.
I guess Eddie may have been right when he said on draft night: "The
most important pick I made all night was drawing the #2 out of the
hat!"

Feature game of the
week
|
Bullseye (3-1)
defeated Gimme The Damn Ball!
(2-2), 104-103.
This was a close matchup all the way as it came down to QB Daunte
Culpepper getting a few late game points in the Sunday prime time game.
Bullseye is probably quite proud of themselves for starting RB Duce
Staley this week, as the diminutive runner managed to sneak into the end
zone twice. But before they run out to apply to Mensa, somebody should
probably tell them that their other stiff backup runner, Stacey Mack, managed
to score three times. A true genious would have given him the start over
Duece. As for Gimme The Damn Ball!, there is much that can be said about
their loss this week. They started an inactive player (Troy Brown) and
they benched a running back who scored (Jamel White) at the very last minute
for a back that was injured (Curtis Martin). Let's just leave at that.
One point losses are hard enough to endure without reading about all the
errors you made.

Here are the results for Week Four:
The Green Party (3-0-1)
and Karen's Komets (1-2-1)
tied, 84-84.
A tie? What's up with a tie? The Green Party just refuses to lose this
year. And the Komets refuse to consistently win (over the last 6 years).
It wasn't a surprise the Green machine slowed down, as they had been putting
up some serious points the first few weeks -- but they caught a break when
the Komets couldn't finish them off on Monday night. Needing just one more
yard rushing, or two yards passing, from QB Brian Griese for an extra
point -- the Komets watched Denver do nothing in their final plays of the
game. This outcome will most likely shape a few playoff races later in
the season.
Boston Stranglers (3-1)
defeated Pooh Bott Helmets (3-1),
92-74. Nothing
too exciting about this matchup. A few injuries limited the scoring, as
did starting a couple of stiffs (Bettis
for the Stranglers & Kennison for the Helmets). But both teams
are looking good at 3 wins and one loss heading into Week Five. The Stranglers
have their annual grudge match against Bullseye next week while the Helmets
travel to the Horseshoe in Columbus to meet up against the Runner Formerly
Known As Corey Dillon. (Now he is just known as "worst franchise player
besides Warner.")
TD Taunters (1-3)
defeated The Savants
(0-4), 122-79.
It was do or die time for the TD Taunters, and luckily for them they
got their easiest game of the year during Week Four. Playing The Savants
should be against the rules. I propose next year that any wins vs. The
Savants are not counted as real victories in the standings. We can vote
on it after next summer. But back to this week: the Taunters went nuts
with RB LaDainian Tomlinson posting 38 points and showing The Fat
Bus that maybe they should be "fired up if one of their franchise
players is Tomlinson" !!! I'd much rather have him than an aging
Jet running back who shall remain nameless.
Dawson's Crizzzy
(1-3) defeated Corey Dillon The Ball Carrier
(2-2), 131-66.
Also needing a win was Dawson and they too got outstanding RB points this
week. Shaun Alexander set an all-time RB performance mark with 49
points. Five TDs in the first half on Sunday night made up the bulk of
his scoring. Now Dawson, and Alexander, hold the top two all-time points
scored records by a running back. Too bad they took 4 weeks to emerge this
season.
On a personal note, I will be leaving town
this week on Thursday and returning Sunday. So I encourage everyone to
submit their rosters to me via e-mail if at all possible and the earlier
the better. You can also leave a voice mail or a fax, but e-mail is definitely
preferred this week!!! I might not be able to reach you and let you know
who is starting what players until Sunday evening. So feel free to exchange
rosters with your Week Five opponent before 10:00 a.m. Sunday as a courtesy.
Thanks for understanding. You fackers.
Have a good week all... and see you here next
Monday.
