SPECIAL REPORT: TD Taunted!       How can a team be 2nd in overall points scored, average nearly 104 points per game after six weeks, and find themselves 1-5 overall without a single divisional victory? Well it's not so hard if you're the TD Taunters, a franchise known for having some of the worst luck in the game. Consider the 2000 season, when the Taunters found themselves tied for 2nd place at the conclusion of the regular season with an 8-5 record. Unfortunately for them, four other teams finished tied with them at 8-5, and due to a complex tiebreaker, the TD Taunters were the odd squad left out of the playoffs.   Looking at the first six weeks of this season, the TD Taunters have undoubtedly had the toughest schedule of any team in league. They have had the most points scored against them so far: 677. It's hard to win when your opponents are averaging nearly 113 points per game! Here's a breakdown of the Taunters' difficult schedule to date:        TD Taunters Schedule Week One Week Two Week Three Week Four Week Five Week Six Opponent's Score 104 127 130 79 124 113 Weekly Rank 3rd 1st 2nd 8th 2nd 1st      As you can see from the table above, in the Taunters first six games, their opponents have twice been the top scoring team for the week. Twice their opponents have been the 2nd highest scoring team. And once their opponent was the 3rd highest scoring team for the week. That's insane! Of course, they did catch a break Week Four when the lowly Savants could only muster 79 points on the week. That was the TD Taunters' lone victory this season.    OK, so can we all just say the TD Taunters poor 1-5 record is the result of being cursed with incredibly bad luck? Not exactly. They maintain their share of culpability for such a dismal start to the year. Look no further than last week when the Taunters lost 113-100 to Dawson's Crizzy. If QB Jeff Garcia and RB LaDainian Tomlinson had been playing for the Taunters (they traded them to the Crizzy two weeks earlier) we would have seen a different result. The players the Taunters got in exchange, WRs Joe Horn and Tony Gonzalez & RB Garrison Hearst, managed just 26 points combined that week. Tomlinson and Garcia nothced a combined 46. Ouch!   Where do the Taunters go from here? They have 7 weeks left in the regular season, and right now it looks like they'll need to win 5 or 6 of those final regular season games if they want a chance to play in the postseason. They still have yet to play Karen's Komets, but the rest of the teams they will be facing are going to put up a good fight. From where I am standing, I don't think the TD Taunters have much of chance to get the necessary victories to clinch a playoff berth. Which is good news to the rest of us, who have enjoyed a Marshall Faulk-free postseason for the last two years.      -The Commish
