WEEK SIX REPORT
We had our lowest scoring week of the year,
as teams averaged just 67 points each in Week Six. Plagued by several injuries,
half of the teams couldn't reach the sixty-point plateau! And when there
is low scoring, we never have to look further than league doormat, T.T.M.F.N.,
who became a four-time "Dog of the Week!" (see banner
above) Let's see, in six weeks T.T.M.F.N. has been the lowest
scoring team four times, leaving little doubt about which team is the weakest.
You'd think they would bench (if not waive) QB Jake Plummer by
now! Overall, scoring was so pitiful that there is no feature game of the
week. Instead, we recap a contest with a combined overall point total of
just 106...

Shitty game of the
week

Scott's "All They Know
How To Do Is Score" Savants (4-2)
defeated St. Johns Ragin' Amies (3-3),
59-47. The Savants won this interleague contest with their kicker, Olindo
Mare, who set a new FFL kicking record with 23 points. Two of their receivers
were held without a catch, but they still managed to knock off the Ragin'
Amies who were even more inept offensively. The Amies showed us what happens
to their team when WR Marvin Harrison has an off weak. They struggle.
And struggle they should! With WRs like S. Dawkins and H. Ward, they don't
deserve to win. The victory for the Savants gives the Lip Conference a
dominating 8-2 lead against the Hair Conference. We'll see if the Hair
Conference can bounce back with Week Seven's games - which are all interleague
contests.

Here are the rest of the results for Week
Six:
Jo-Boo's Browns Backers
(3-2-1) defeated Chisel Squad (2-4),
95-56. With QB Brett Favre having one of the worst games of his career,
the Chisel Squad was no match for the Browns Backers who sit alone on top
of the Hair Conference standings. In fact, they are the only team in their
conference with a winning record. Despite losing, the Chisel Squad is still
only one game out of second place, and with seven weeks remaining, they
have an excellent shot to make the playoffs (i.e., they play T.T.M.F.N.
and The Fat Bus each one more time).
The Fat Bus (2-3-1)
defeated T.T.M.F.N.
(1-5), 80-43. After this week's bye, The Fat Bus plays White Chocolate
next week. Enough said.
P.O.B.'s Pounders (3-3)
defeated White Chocolate
(3-3), 89-58. The Pounders reclaimed the overall points lead as they defeated
White Chocolate. Both teams are now tied for 3rd place in the Lip Conference.
Even though they got their victory, the Pounders seem to be having a QB
controversy. Franchise player Mark Brunell has been benched twice
this season - and neither time because of injury or Jacksonville's bye
week. His replacements, Rich Gannon and Kordell Stewart, are not your typical
fantasy point producers, which makes me wonder if the Pounders have lost
faith in their franchise player.
Randy's Rocket (6-0)
defeated The Pussy Willows (2-4),
75-69. Randy's Rocket just keeps on winning. This week's victory makes
10 in a row - dating back to last year's championship run. I'll have to
double check my math, but I think they just clinched a playoff berth! The
Pussy Willows' loss leaves them without a conference win in four tries.
Twice they have lost one-point heartbreakers, and this week they fell victim
to injuries to a few of their key players. The Willows will have to nut
it up next week against the Ragin' Amies if they want to make the playoffs!
I have updated the historical stats through
Week Five. This includes All-Time wins-losses as well as owner vs. owner
history. I will be updating these stats on a regular basis, so keep checking
periodically. Remember to get your lineups in on thime this week (hint,
hint). Good luck in Week Seven.
