The Brady Bunch (formerly, back to CALI) wins again. The Hillbillies couldn't get enough to stop Brady's 44. Coles also had 19 and KC and Urlacher got in the double digits to support the cause. Harmony did have a great pickup in the Seahawk D with 30 and LJ is back on track with 13, but another disappointing performance by Palmer and Santana Moss kept it from being closer than 12. It will be interesting to see if the name change brings the downfall of the one man team.
Ballin' got their 5th straight win beating down the Ogres. It was a QB battle. Big Ben (24) leading Obispo (with little other help) and Culter (21) and TO leading the charge for Ballin'. Sadly for Obispo Ryans 23 sat on the bench, though in like fashion, Ballin' chose the Steel curtain (6) and dropped the Seahawks (30) for the 'Billies. Congrats Ballin' on moving into second place on a week when 2 or your top 3 were on a bye.
Big Red fell again. This week it was to the hard luck Ghostriders. The Ghostrdiers were solid from almost every position. Only 3 players didn't have at least 9 points and they still combined for 14. MJD, Gould, and Portis were over 10, but it was a TEAM win. Big Red had a solid outing in spite of the loss. Randy had another 2TDs for 19. The Cowboy D had 17, Barber had Hasselbeck were over 10 as well, but 6 player under 9 was just too many this week.
The Woopiecushions are still in forth, but have a much stronger hold on it after beating the Illini even with 5 players on a bye. Welker had another big 2 TD day to lead the Cushions. The Pats and Patrick Willis added 13 and 12 with Adrian Peterson cooling off to a modest 9. Leftwich added 9 before leaving the game with an injury. The Illini's hopes were dashed when the Colts stifled the Jags and knocked out Garrard along with any hope of Reggie Williams getting a TD pass. The Illini did get 24 for the opportunistic Giant D and Brees is back with another 14. Kevin Walter was a nice pick up, 3 yards short of a dozen points.
Conicals got what they needed from Dallas Clark to complete the only comeback this week against the hard luck Scuds. For those who are not familiar with the Conical's kicker, it is Bironas, who now holds the record for most field goals in a game (8). His 29 points led Clovis. The Lions added 10 and Boldin had 2 TDs for 13. The Scuds are wishing that they didn't hear the report that Maroney was going to start as that left Kenny Watson and his career day (26) on the bench. The Scuds did get TDs from Culpepper, Burleson, Derick Mason, Holmes, and Brandon Jacobs, but unfortunately they came up just short.
The Homies lead held up easily against Reavers. Josh Brown kicked for 18 to pace the Homies. Miller had 2 TDs, McNabb and Stallworth each had 1 and Ernest Graham had 191 total yards for 10 to seal the win. Kitna apparently needs closer oversight than the Europe touring Reavers could provide. He suffered another very sub-par game. McGahee, Cotchery and Roddy White did have strong games for Reavers. Roddy was 3 yards from an 18 point game, but it was an off week for the Reavers who fall back below .500. At least he gets to see London and Rome.
Spit 'n Polish had a solid outing to stop the struggling Raiders. Peyton and Vinatieri showed up for 24 for the Raiders, but nobody else was over 5 points as they totaled 44 points. We should note that the Raiders had 5 players either injured or out on byes. Spit got solid games from all positions (save the tight end). The Colts led the Polishers with 15, LenDale, Bush, and Toomer scored TDs and Eli had 2. I understand that the Raiders were supposed to give the he77, but aside from Peyton, they were much closer to looking like it. Could it be those 'playoffs are a stretch' words are eating away at the team? Nice gladiator work, Spit. Enjoy Europe.
There is a glut of teams at 3-4. It's looking like the playoff teams may start pulling away from the pack.
