Week 12: Ballin' goes Straight into the Playoffs

Ballin' is rollin' as they blow away #2 Big Red, 138 to 74. Tony Gonzalez and Ray Lewis were the only Ballin players under 9. Gore, Fitzgerald, and Favre were over 20 to ensure their hold on #1. Big Red was lack luster this week with Wayne, Barber, and Cooley the only players over 10, but not by much. Straight Ballin' is peaking at the right time, as they clinch the first playoff spot.

The Woopiecushions held on to their slim lead to hold off the surgin Ogres. Big Ben and Fast Willie were held to just 6 of the 16 that they needed to win. The Cushions were led by Derek Anderson, Jamal Lewis, Ryan Grant, the Pat's D and Folk each of whom were between 11 and 16 points. The Ogres got another solid game from Ryans, Chester Taylor, and Jennings, but the Surprise was Chad Johnson finally showing up with 24. The Ogres may have just lost their playoff spot with that one.

Cali's playoff spot is looking pretty secure as they lean on the Viking D to get them past David! Brady was human with 15 and Rudi and Winslow had a dime and a dozen, but the Vikings' 30 blew this game open for Cali. Unfortunately for David!, it was Eli who was the one giving those points to the Viking D, so the Giant heavy team didn't fair well, though Burress had 10. The Colt D also scored 10 for Davey. Watson had .85. Brady didn't throw to him as requested.

The Raiders held on to their lead against he Illini. Peyton was back in form with 21 and Gates had 2 TDs for 18 to lead the Raiders back to .500. The Illini had a fair game. McGee had 10, kicker Crosby had 13, Kevin Walter score a TD and as requested ...again... Brees showed up with 27. Young however was out and while Jordan's 6.2 from the bench would not have made the difference, it would have made Ray sweat.

Reavers stopped the Scuds winning streak and kept themselves in the consolation bracket hunt. Kolby Smith was the pickup of the week scoring 20 for Reavers (you don't know how much it pains me to write that). Branch and Westbrook also had 10 a piece, but only having 3 players under 6 points meant that everyone was getting in there. The Scuds got 16 from Warner's 400+ passing yards. Fargas had another good day with 14 and Morrison had 10+ in tackles, but 6 players with less than 6 was too big of and anchor to have a successful launch.

The Ghostrider's charge was halted by the Homies. Romo and Kevin Jones combined for 26 for the Ghostman, but MJD was the only other player over 5. The Homies were far from stellar, but the Bear D had 19 for them and Grahan and Gerrard another 22 as they totaled 69 in the victory.

Harmony won ugly against the Conicals who have not started a starting QB in a few weeks now. The Hillbillie's trade for Foster and Schaub cost them 21 point as they scored 12 in place of Fred Taylor and Carson Palmer's 33. No matter, the Seahawk D and Schaub did combine for 18 and both Daniels and Reggie Brown scored TDs to beat Clovis who had only Colston in double digits.
