2004 Week 8 Report
|
What a crazy week it was! Five teams scored 100
or better, two teams lost because of their own stupidity, one team made
some of the worst coaching decisions I have ever seen, and The Fat Bus
got their first victory of the year! Good work, Bus. This is the last week
to make trades before the trading deadline. I would suspect a firesale
or two to be completed before sunrise on Sunday. Stay tuned!
Here are the results for Week Eight:
I'm The Caddy Grandma (5-3)
defeated The Steins (5-3),
117-100. Two
running backs started for The Steins. Two points were scored by them. Ouch!
That's not fun to see both of your backs leave the game in the first quarter
and not return. The 51 points scored by QB Peyton Manning ties an
all-time record, but it was wasted in a losing effort. Don't look now but
the Caddy has won three games in a row and is moving steadily up on the
points scoreboard. Perhaps Thornton Melon's passing has been an inspiration
to caddies everywhere.
Los Tres Anillos (5-3)
defeated Jo-Boo's Browns Backers (3-5),
100-95. The dreaded
MNC. Last week the Anillos had it handed to them. This week they returned
the favor and administered the chisel to the Backers. One wonders how long
the Backers are going to keep plugging WR Santana Moss into their lineup.
Ditto for Barlow. Fire sale probability for them: 65%.
The Fat Bus (1-7)
defeated P.O.B.'s Pimp Daddies (2-6),
113-77. Finally
the Bus wins a game. And they did it with crazy scoring from old-timer
WR Rod Smith. QB Chad Pennington finally had a nice game for
them. Maybe they can win a few more down the stretch and play spoiler.
This loss for the Daddies was a big one. Their playoff chances are slim
to none at this point. Fire sale probability for the Bus: 5% (they have
nobody to trade). Fire sale probability for the Daddies: 15% (they just
made one last week).
Fightin' Priests (5-2-1)
defeated Hawk 'n' Roll (4-3-1),
100-92. No Randy
Moss = no wins. Three weeks in a row Randy has been hurt and three weeks
in a row the Hawk hasn't been rolling. The Priests are enjoying mad numbers
from RB Priest Holmes. Will it last?
E-Z Money (5-3)
defeated Who-Dey Delight (4-4),
86-72. QB Michael
Vick was benched? And you say he scored 15 more points this past week than
Roethlisberger? I'm not a mathematician (and he's not) but I think
that blunder just cost Who-Dey a win... and possibly a playoff spot. Oh,
the agony of overthinking your lineup. Speaking of bad coaching moves,
did E-Z Money really think WRs Toomer or Mason would have better days than
the boys playing in the Indy vs. KC game? Shit, the over/under in Vegas
for that game was near 60 at kickoff. Brilliant! Fire sale probability for Who-Dey: 35%.
That's it for now.
