Week 14 Wrap - Up

Gordon thank for filling in for me and writing this week.

Whoppie eat words, kitties scratch but no bite - Big Red proves as menacing as Mother Russia.

A-Town Homies got doubled on by the Big Red - not to be confused with Pete Rose's World Series team or Cold War, Russia. Big Red poured it on with Hasselbeck leading the way with 4 players scoring in the 20s. A valiant effort was put up by the Homies with decent performances from Gerrard with 18points, E. Graham with 18 as well, but it was fruitless versus the scoring machine of Big Red.

Straight Ballin' put up another impressive roll with Jay Cutler airing it out for 29.98 points and getting great support from B Marshall. Hillbillies responded with another excellent performance from LT and the Seattle defense, but Carson Palmer stank the air with -.37 points. Ballin's performance should aid in rolling their momentum into the playoffs.

After a league boast, which brought about lightning from the Mount Spalding Pigskin, the FF Gods moved against Whoppie. Back to Cali pulled of an upset as the Cushions could only back up their boast with 19.85 points from the surprising J. Lewis, but Peterson looked very much rookie not even scoring a point. Back to Cali got another great performance from Tom Brady who threw down 33.18 with an exclamation point against the over-rated Smith defense. EAT YOUR WORDS happened to the critics of Brady and back to Cushions. The Viking defense proved to heat up strong for 22 for Cali to offset any fight from the Cushions.

Meanwhile in the battle of the cute feline league, it was a lot of scratching but not alot of bite as Hello Kitty trounced Cute Fluffy. Fluffy's Brees put up great numbers but left 18 points on the bench and it sounds very much like the season is down with the kitty litter as Kitty had almost 1/2 the team in double digits led by relative unknown Chris Redman.

Rounding off the rest of the league, Orgres got enough to beat the Scuds. It was a solid performance, but balanced. Scuds might have won if seven players scored more than 6 points each, the only redemption was by the late season turn on by Jacksonville.

Ghostriders was exactly that, vanished like specters as eight players put up only single digits. Romo led to save face, but it wasn't enough against David!'s consistent play of 7 players in double digit led by the revived defense of the Colts with 19 points.

Lastly, the Conicals must have decided to go with Elementary math as they mustered a small number of 36.11 points against the Raiders who had a predictable but expected performance by Peyton Manning leading with 28 points. Solid, but not great contributions provided again the theme of the week: BALANCED ATTACK wins games.

The play-off preview starts off with a clash of the Titans as Big Red takes on Straight Ballin. It's no-holds bar as the hype ends and it's as much buzz as UFC MMA!

Interesting matches will be the Riders' vs. the Raiders and the Ogres vs. the Kitty. The more interesting match up will be the Ogres vs the cute felines, but the edge might go to Ogres with Big Ben going to Jacksonsville, but a slide has hit the Steelers also. Dont' expect much from Redman or the Baltimore defense but it's a toss up.

Will the Cushions come back from their loss? Back to Cali sprang a surprise, but to pull it off again would be impressive.

Yep, the playoffs are here, and it's a one-shot deal, very much like Britney's video performance - once mistake and you are hosed and plastered on the grocery magazine rack. Big Red and Ballin's much vaunted power offense can putter out like air out of balloon with one loss.
