another week of updates, boys. Another unhappy week, unfortunately as the B
ears fell to the '9ers on Thursday to drop to 4-5 and within an inch of being eliminated from playoff consideration (kinda like Wes and Robert). Apparently Cutler mistook INTs for shots of Jack and decided that 4 Jacks weren't enough, he'd better make it 5! Thankfully Kyle Orton went down in the Denver game or there may have been a do-over call on that Cutler trade. Oh well, I guess there's always the UFL....Go, Las Vegas Locomotives! Anyways, we have to get back to some real football...here's how things looked from where I sat.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The commish was dropped down to 5-5 and as Styx put up a 27 point "W" to head to 6-4. Team Burner rolled with giant games from Moss, MJD (that kneel down was of little consequence), and the G
reen Bay D (thank you, Romo). There was bad news for Stumps, however, as his team namesake left the game with a high ankle sprain and possibly with any shot that Styx had at the top spot (we will see, but a walking boot is never good news). On the positive side, the Burners finally emerged from its 1 QB slumber and stumbled into a 29 pt day from Marc Bulger to help offset an 11 point day from Big Ben. Talk about a switch-a-roo....that was straight o
ut of 1988's "Vice Versa" starring Fred Savage and Judge Reinholt! (Don't bother renting this movie if you have never seen it....it's a "must-not" see)
.The commish, meanwhile, hit the projected point total thanks to Gore and the Baltimore D. However, Ced Benson went out with a Bo Jackson style hip injury (fingers are crossed) and Jay Cutler did his best Vinny Testaverde impression (268 INTs isn't that far off!) to send the commish into 4th place. Forget about it and bounce back, Jay....a fifth should do it!

In the second game, Sean handed it to the recently contracted mb3 by doubling his score and then some. Sean got "out-of-their-mind" days from Manning, CJ, Bush (Yeah, Reggie Bush), Jamal Charles (
thank you, Al Davis), and the Tennessee D (thank you, Trent Edwards). Sean would have been able to best his own highest score if not for a -1 for Folk and very weak days from his entire WR corp. This mattered very little, as it turned out, because Sean got enough from Manning and CJ to beat Sweat's entire squad, setting up what looks 
to be a Colts-Pats type battle for the regular season championship with Kos.....may I suggest a punt on 4th and 2?As far as Sweat's team goes....it looks as if that squad is going to go the way of the LA Raiders, LA Rams, Baltimore Colts, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Houston Oilers. The big question is...when those teams were gone, did anybody really miss them????
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In out third tilt of the week, Robert was able to eek out his third victory
of the year, much to the chagrin of the now 6th place, DewDriver. Robert was able to succeed besides bad play from his QBs and WRs due to gi-normous games from his version of the Jackson 2, Steven and Fred. Steven scoring 39 and Fred posting 31 was enough to make Team Craig & Dey Dey say "Dammmmmmnnnnnnnn!!!!!". Wait......was that "Friday" or "Next Friday" or "Two Months from now on a Friday"? Who cares, they were all funny.Andy came home with the point total that was expected of his team, but the replacing of Stafford with VY and a very strange disappearing act put on by Vinny-Jax cost Andy a victory that would have put him atop the log-jam in the middle of the league. There was one thing a bit more strange than Vincent Jackson's one-catch effort of Sunday, and that is the apparent relationship that is going on in the Minnesota locker room between Andy's every-week QB and his coach.........
Whooooooaaaaaaa........Coach, keep that stuff behind closed doors!!!!!!!!

Brandon Jacobs (brilliant!) handed Bulldogs a big loss this week that sent both teams to 5-5. Chris was seriously hurt by down days from Flacco and Colston and couldn't climb out
of those holes even with an inspired 42 pt afternoon from McNabb. I'm sure Chr
is was expecting more than 9 pts from "Joe-Cool" at Cleveland, but the BAL air-attack was not needed against the hopeless Browns who are currently fighting it out with Detroit, Tampa Bay, and St Louis for the right to draft Tebow, Stafford, or McCoy. Who wants to play in the bitter cold on a bad team with no offensive line and an RB that's going to retire????Bobby managed to end his losing skid by capitalizing on strong showings from his WRs and the surprising Carolina tandem of Stewart and Delhomme. This was definitely a good day for Bobby, but hopefully he didn't do against Chris what Lee Corso thought Arkansas did last week....................
What do you think, Kirby?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kos im
proved to 8-2 and kept ahold of the league lead with a 169-150 victory over Crash Jensen. Kos scored the win despite awful days from the Oakland duo of Zack Suck-ler and Darren McSuck-en mostly due to surprisingly large totals from Housh and LT. Rumor is when asked what had taken so long to put together good games, Housh and LT were quoted as saying, "We would have done this earlier, but we've been too fucking busy.....or vice versa!" Wait for it.............Don unfortunately took a cue from his team name and "crashed" this week as two of his WRs scraped up only 2 pts each and
Shockey couldn't keep up the torrid pace from the last few weeks as he came back to earth with a 5 pt day. Not to worry though, Crash, as things may be looking up with Warner's easy schedule going forward and the newly-minted starter in Miami appearing to be Ricky Williams. With a few tweaks and a little luck, Don may soon be saying the same thing as the Joker in the original Batman when he said, "Wait til they get a load of me!"...................or maybe not, stay tuned.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our last contest, Wes and Sunto squared off and neither team scored enough points to be able to beat anyone but Sweat's squad. Sunto struggled mightily in all facets of the game as o
nly four of his starters were able to muster double digit points. Geez, Sunto, remember when you were in first place? I think I have a new name for your team since you are rolling with the original Ahmad Bradshaw. How about Wile E. Coyote???? You guys have so much in common!!!!!Somebody was going to come away from this triple-AAA affair with a win and that somebody was Wes who finally put the brakes on his four game losing streak. Wes only had five players breach double digits, but one of those players was Tom Brady, who hit for 375 yards and 3 TDs. Pretty impressive, but not as impressive as Wes, who evidently has been working on the down-low as the host for Sports Soup on Versus.
Where do you find the time, Wes.....and how did you get Sean on your show as the last of the Staten Island kids???? Trust me, if you've never seen Wes, that dude is his exact twin....uncanny!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's it for this week, boys. The playoffs spots and seeds are still far from being settled so keep grinding away. I gotta go...I'm outta here like Dwayne Bowe. Looks like "The Show" must not go on. First LJ and now Bowe. Hail to the Chiefs, indeed!
