WEEK THREE REPORT
Talk about getting the Monday Night Chisel!
Trailing The Fat Bus
by only 10 points, Jo-Boo's Browns Backers
had both franchise QB Steve Young and WR Rob Moore playing in
Monday's game - and thought the victory was a lock. As Lee Corso says,
"Not so fast my friend!" Before making a catch,
Moore had to leave the game with a pulled hamstring, never to return. Then,
right before the half, Young got knocked out, suffered a concussion, and
was done for the night. He had only scored 10 points for the Browns Backers
before the injury! Instead of getting an easy victory, the Browns Backers
tied The Fat Bus 59-59.
Here are the rest of the results for Week
Three:
P.O.B.'s Pounders
(2-1) defeated the Chisel Squad
(1-2), 80-65. Despite making the stupidest roster change of the season,
P.O.B.'s Pounders still managed to defeat the Chisel Squad in a key Hair
Confernce matchup. The Pounders scored zero points from QB Kordell
Stewart, who they opted to start over franchise QB Mark Brunell. The
Pounders even managed to get away with starting rookie WR Kevin Johnson
of the Cleveland Browns! The Chisel Squad failed to capitalize on their
opponent's risky lineup changes, as RB Fred Lane (replacing Ricky
Williams who had a bye) mustered up only 3 fantasy points. Opting not to
trade for RB Tim Biakabatuka (29 pt. performance Sunday) in the week
before the game, the Chisel Squad further "chiseled" themselves
by benching RB Lawrence Phillips, whose Monday performance would have given
his team a tie.
St. Johns Ragin' Amies
(2-1) defeated T.T.M.F.N.
(1-2), 90-74. How long can WR Marvin Harrison carry this team? The
Colts' receiver has scored at least 25 points three straight weeks for
the Ragin' Amies! The rest of the team has provided balanced scoring, allowing
the league's rookie team to jump to an early lead in the Overall Points
race. T.T.M.F.N., who has failed to reach the 80-point mark once in their
first three games, might want to rethink their plan of basing their key
roster positions on players from the Arizona Cardinals. QB Jake Plummer
has managed to score a combined 11 points in his last two starts, while
RB Adrian Murrell has tallied 12 points during the same time span.
Randy's Rocket
(3-0) defeated Scott's "All
they Know How To Do Is Score" Savants
(2-1), 76-71. The Rocket hasn't necessarily blasted off in 1999, but the
defending Super Bowl champion has managed to keep his winning streak intact
despite below average scoring through the first three weeks of the season.
With this week's win over the Savants, Randy's Rocket notched their eighth
consecutive victory dating back to Week Twelve of 1998. The Savants, no
longer undefeated and humbled in this week's FFL Power Rankings, might
be experiencing Deja Vu! Just like in the past two seasons, the Savants'
early success changes rapidly right after making a trade. This year, they
have managed to deal away QB Charlie Batch, while their incumbent
starter, QB Randall Cunningham of the Vikings, is starting to struggle.
A couple more subpar games for Randall, and Jeff George will be taking
over Minnesota's sputtering offense. If that happens, the Savants will
be left to choose between Troy Aikman, Curt Warner, and Cade McNown. Ouch!
White Chocolate
(1-2) defeated The Pussy Willows (1-2),
94-93. The two highest scoring teams of Week Three needed Monday night
to decide this contest. Tied heading into the final game of the week, White
Chocolate's Jerry Rice outscored Terrell Owens of The Pussy Willows by
one point. Not only did White Chocolate manage to earn their first victory
of the year, but they continued their dominance over The Pussy Willows
and are now 3-0 against them lifetime.
Next week is the first full week of interleague
play, and will give the Hair Conference a chance to even things up a bit
with the Lip Conference. So far, the Lip is 3-0 against the Hair, and its
teams have a total of nine wins - compared to only five wins in the Hair.
