Week 5 Review

I'm on time this week, mostly because I'm stunned. Can ya' believe it?!! One team remains undefeated in our league. One team sits alone at the top with a record of 5-0: The High Way Hogz. Even scoring the least amount of points they've ever scored (56), the Hogz have managed to survive unscathed yet another week.

Will the Knuckleheads be able to de-throne the champ in Week 6? We'll all be watching to see if the Hogz can continue their streak. If you're as superstitious as most sports fans, Hogz, you'll keep the same underwear and/or socks on that you've had on all season. (pheeewwww) Hold on, let's rethink that....

Highest Score of the Week: Hoosierblue (92). Way to go, Pete!

Lowest Score of the Week: Southern Maulers (50.5). Ouch.

Most Moves: Southern Maulers (28) with the Texas Twisters and ChiTown Slackers not too far behind (both at 25). Apparently these rosters are written in pencil, maybe even chalk, and definitely not in ink or blood.

On the Trading Block:
Donovan McNabb (QB) - Southern Maulers
Kenton Keith (RB) - ChiTown Slackers

Standings: We have 5 teams clumped in the middle with records of 2-3. This is a competitive league! I applaud all of you for starting out the season well and playing the game. Now, LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMBBLLLLE!

Good luck, All!

Yours truly,

Week 4 Review

With Week 4 under our belts, we can definitely see the heroes and the zeroes of the gridiron. San Diego's non-offense continues to be a mystery, the Bears are still lost in the woods, and who would have thought that the Giants' defense would get more than 11 sacks! The shake-em-up week in the NFL had its ripple effect in FFL....

Highest Score of the Week: Dallas Demons, 97. The Commish apparently brought out the best (or the devil) in the Demons, their highest score of the season so far.

Lowest Score of the Week: Texas Twisters, 56. It was the lowest score of the season for the Twisters. Hey Tim, remember to do the same the next time you play the Slackers.

Tip of the Week: One of the underutilized tools we have as FFL managers is the Trading Block. If you look, you can see that the Southern Maulers have put Donovan McNabb on the block. It's a shame to waste a perfectly good QB like that.

Rumor Mill: If you haven't gotten a call from Ocho Cinco, it's only because maybe I can't get him to pronounce your name correctly. Chad Johnson has teamed up with Degree anti-perspirant on a website where you can get Chad to call your buddy and trash talk him! It's really a pre-recorded message that you can tailor with some options, but it's a riot. Go to http://trashtalk85.com. If you vote on Johnson's checklist, Degree will donate $ to the Feed the Children charity. So have some fun and feed a hungry kid in the process.

Good luck, everyone!
