Did you enjoy Superbowl 41.5? Great game! And it's probably the first time in a long time that I've seen Peyton Manning look unlike Peyton Manning. But not to worry. Peyton always comes back strong, so Tommy-boy may be in trouble when the Colts and the Patriots meet again.
Highest Score of the Week: High Way Hogz (120.5) What was touted as the Game of the Week in our league was really no contest at all, with the Slackers putting up only 87 points in response. Well done, Hogz. Perhaps pigs can fly.
Lowest Score of the Week: Texas Twisters (70). Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. Perhaps it's time to reverse the suction on that vacuum of yours.
Best Smacktalk of the Week: Folks, we have a tie! Texas Twisters to the silent GnawBone Knuckleheads - "It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing milk bone underwear. Don't get excited there Boners." (Did I quote that correctly?) We're seeing a new side to the Twisters... a side that we're not quite sure if we can handle. And the other winner is the Nashville Nitwits to the Southern Maulers (and indirectly to the Texas Twisters) "If I'm agoin' to lead a 2-week stampede into Texas I need to put on me best disguise." It makes a lot more sense if you look at the team's avatar.
Week 9 Predictions in Hindsight: Well, the Twisters went 1-4 on the predictions. Good thing none of us put any money on them. (You didn't, right?) Though the record doesn't look so good, I applaud you, Tim, for having the guts to stick your neck out on the line. (Is it better to quit while you're behind....)
Looking ahead: If Week 10 promises to be anything like it has started out to be so far, I'm sure to get another ulcer. Hold on here... I have an official statement from the Commissioner's office...
In the interest of maintaining League relations, the trade between the Nashville Nitwits and the ChiTown Slackers has been intentionally vetoed by the parties involved. The Commissioner does not have the power to cancel trades. Since it was causing an undue amount of stress in the league and the surrounding environment, the respective managers decided to help veto the trade.
Keep in mind, the trade deadline in our league is November 16. Make your deals now while you can!
Good luck, All!
