Week 4 Wrap

There can be only one

Well, really there could be more or zero but since I'm the last undefeated I might as well brag.

Easy matchup of the week pick this week as an 0-3 sad sack team takes down an undefeated in a barn burner. Stitch (Rust Belt - 103.79) beats Mike (Zingers - 100.16) who's good score isn't good enough. Stitch didn't even need the Ward TD I'd predicted he'd need, because James Harrison goes nuts on defense and puts up 19 points. Damn Stitch how does it feel to win because of some Steelers turning in an awesome performance? I guess he did go to Kent St., though. Mike's team still looks very good and he might have the depth to put up high numbers almost every week. Issac Bruce and Randle El are riding the pine because that team has so many players.

The Browns win and so do two Clevelanders, and their teams aren't total homer teams. Just coincidence? Miah (Browns, Jr. - 133.97) puts up the high score of the week, which is only ~30 points less than his previous 3 weeks combined. Larry Johnson goes off, and Mushin Muhammad, Edge James are great, and even Braylon Edwards has a decent game. Dad (Chumpbeaters - 124.02) gets huge points from the Favre-Coles hookup, but the points drop quick after that. With three terrible scores he can't match Miah, and Dad is the unlucky SOB playing the high scorer this week, and he turned in a score that's a virtual tie for 2nd this week, ouch.

Which makes me (Juicers - 82.41) the lucky SOSOB. Kevin (Buc-ee's Boys - 63.64) does even worse with the low score of the week. I drank his milkshake but it was only because he didn't want it. 8 players below 4 points. My saving grace is that some of my good players looked terrible, so hopefully I'll bounce back. Kevin has no hope. Actually he just had a bye week for his entire bench so he put together what he could. An interesting tidbid - at halftime of the 1:00 games, my QB Warner had -3 points, and Kevin's QB Griese had 10 points. At the end of the game, Warner had 28 and Griese had 7. Warner also set a new season record for passing yards.

Brandon and Jim (Chunder Blunders - 99.67) get off the schneid against Mom (Rockhoppers - 72.31). Brandon and Jim's defense rotary did not pan out this week, since Denver is absolutely atrocious on D. Chunder Blunders get a nice diet of good scores across, while Mom does ok but doesn't keep up. The QBs and Ds really stunk it up, and both teams could be excellent when the question marks players turn in a good week. Hope you don't see them on one of those weeks.

Jake (Miracle Workers - 124.50), the former top 2-1 team takes apart the former #1, Ben (thehousebergerbuilt - 74.15). The end of the Yankees season got to Berger and he forgot to replace Westbrook. Westbrook's great and all but will hose you a few times per year with this will-he-won't-he injury game. Jake gets TDs from Chris Johnson, which could make his team the new favorite if that keeps up. Although Bush's thunder got stolen somewhat. Brees looks good again and justifies the high pick. Berger doesn't get a banner day from anyone this week and turns in a pedestrian score. Injuries hurt him this week, but he has injury prone players so we'll see if that's the exception or the rule. Santana Moss looks like a real stud this year, back from the dead.

Kate (teen girl squad - 105.40) rises to 2-2 against Rowan (Aspire Mi Toro - 94.04). The QB is the big difference here, as Kate has one real one and Rowan has 3 fake ones. Kate could have put up a top score this week, but didn't get a defense in that was actually playing. Of course if she had New England they might have lost it for her, too. Ha, they really blew it didn't they? What a shame to see that team get spanked but a former whipping boy. Anyway, Kate's Tomlinson is looking like a the first overall pick again, and Steve Smith and Witten are tops at their positions. Her protestations of her innocence and patheticness fall on deaf ears.

Uncle Chris (Space Cadets - 104.73) takes over 5th place with his 3rd win in a row. Steve Slaton is really going to be a player, and Owens/Boldin/Delhomme can be a nice set of points. Boldin might be out for a bit though, we'll see. The Winklers team (Sooners -81.34) is another team without a real QB, and it shows here. The real pain is not having any real starting RB, which Uncle Chris now swears he knows the value of, yo. This looks like frequent sophomore slump for the Winklers, picking a team of sleepers instead of tried and true skill players.

We could have had a 1 v 2 matchup of the unbeatens with Mike and I this week, but it's now 1 v 4 with his loss. I'm definitely playing the toughest schedule if you go by rankings at the time of the matchup, but I just got a gimme from Kevin on a week when I needed it. Stitch's opponents have scored an average of 110 points. Sooners are only getting 2.75 TDs per week. Dad's getting 5.75 per week but is 1-3. I'm getting half a field goal per week. Good thing I didn't make them worth much.

See you on the virtual gridiron.
