2005 Week 3 Report
|
I'm leaving early Tuesday on a short road trip,
so this week's report will be brief. But not too brief, as I want you all
to laugh at the same things I am laughing at (besides Murph's team).
Here are the full results for Week Three:
Orange Julius (2-1)
defeated Cinnamon Roll Nation (1-2),
117-84. Julius
ran all over the Nation in this week's lone interleague matchup. Next week,
all ten teams will play in non-divisional games.
E-Z Money (2-1)
defeated The Running Monks (0-3),
133-77. E-Z Money
came to play finally! Daunte seemed to get healthy in a hurry. The Monks
will need their star quarterback, Donovan McNabb, to go nuts every week
if they want to make the playoffs.
Receiver U. (3-0)
defeated Jo-Boo's Browns Backers (1-2),
110-65. This
game was a joke. Virtually every team in the league posted a nice point
toal this week except the Browns Backers.
P.O.B.'s Pounders (3-0)
defeated Who-Dey Delight (2-1),
108-103. We were
all reminded this week why LT is the #1 player in fantasy. The Sunday Night
Chisel was in effect as the Pounders got a 41 point performance from their
star tailback. In three games this season, the Pounders have won them all
by a combined margin of victory of 7 points.
The Steins (1-2)
defeated The Fat Bus (0-3),
100-99. Just
when you think the fantasy gods had turned their backs on The Steins a
miracle happened. Leading up to Monday's final game, Plaxico Burress missed
the first part of his game for disciplinary reasons, he later had a TD
overturned on Sunday night, and Peyton Manning once again failed to throw
a TD. If that wasn't enough, Rod Smith left the Monday night game with
a concussion. It was setup perfectly, The Fat Bus was going to hand The
Steins another painful defeat. With only WR Eddie Kennison left, and
trailing by 1 point late in the game, The Fat Bus saw Kennison catch a
20+ yard pass, then take it into the end zone for a score. But wait. The Rat
decided to challenge the play. They thought he was down before crossing
the goal line. Upon further review, the referee decided Kennison not only
did not get into the end zone - but he also had not even caught the pass.
The ball had hit the ground! Take away the touchdown. Take away the 2 points
for the receiving yards. Take away The Bus' first win of the year. OUCH!
As part of an annual tradition, I like to use
the Week Three mark to predict which teams have very little chance to make
the postseason. With two franchises currently 0-3, you might think you
know a couple of teams I will select. Well you're right!
The Running Monks-
They are winless and hopeless. No receivers equals no playoffs.
The Fat Bus - The
other 0-3 team. Another lottery pick for you in '06.
Jo-Boo's Browns Backers
- At 1-2 they sit in 4th place in the Hair Conference. They have too many
crappy running backs.
Cinnamon Roll Nation
- It's tough to put them here, since I think their squad is stronger
than both The Steins and the Pounders. However, I sense Manning will come
back to his high scoring ways soon enough and The Steins will pick up the
pace. And the Pounders just have too big of a head start at 3-0. Two of
their wins were lucky, but with three wins, they may only have to win 4 more games
to make the playoffs. And we know they have yet to play Murph or Vince.
Next week features five important interleague
games!
Good luck to you all...
The Commish
