WEEK 13 – Making Heads or Tails of It
La
Nina and Record Highs?
(EFLP)
Monday. The weather isn't the only thing warming up around here.
This was probably a league record average score this week of 1030.
Led by the resurgent Cardiac Kids 1411 point week, Barry's team proves
why it should be reckoned with. This is the second highest score
in league history. This score was followed up with Team Guido's 1303
point showing. The rest of the league also made up ground on the
lead, scoring from a low of 876 - 1084. The leader only scored 749.
Wow. And many teams missed on playing the best WRs.
Young
Bucks
(EFLP)
Monday. In the final analysis, who would you rather have. QB:
Testeverde vs. Young - Young. Gazelles 0 Bruisers 1. RB1: Terrell
Davis vs. Barry Sanders - Davis. Gazelles 1 Bruisers 1. RB2:
Garrison Hearst vs. Emmitt Smith - Push. Gazelles 1.5 Bruisers 1.5.
WR 1: Terrell Owens vs. Jerry Rice - Owens. Gazelles 2.5 Bruisers
1.5. WR2: OJ McDuffie vs. Keyshawn Johnson - Push. Gazelles
3.0 Bruisers 2.0. Kicker: del Greco vs. Carney - del Greco.
Gazelles 4.0 Bruisers 2.0. It looks like that insurmountable lead
that everyone envisioned is looming as high as Mount Pleasant. Especially
with the nearly 700 point gain in two weeks posted by the Gazelles.
Expect a lead change within the next two weeks and (potentially) a fantastic
finish if the Bruisers can regain even some of their former greatness.
Then again, the lines are stacked with a batch of defenders against Barry
Sanders, Emmitt and Chris Warren are turning into a couple of old aiking
men, the Bruiser's QB isn't as young as he used to be, and the Rice is
all wet. If they would only give Keyshawn the damn ball, this team
would look less like Art Carney. Crap.
Oh
Ref - You Suck
(EFLP)
Monday. Officiating gaffes helped Chris's team. Bledsoe got
an extra 10 yards, two completions, and a TD from a blown call in the NE-Buffalo
game. Barry lost potential Bettis points, but gained when Hanson
hit another FG in the Pittsburgh-Lions debacle. Of course Detroit
should have gotten the ball on two Pittsburgh "turnovers" in the game which
would have helped give Sanders more chances with the ball. The come
from behind Lions threw the ball more, with Barry Bleske receiving Herman
Moore points as a result.
Warm
droppings III
(EFLP)
Tuesday. The races have heated up again. 1st place is up for
grabs (Guido & Bruce). Second place is equally contented (Cesar/Sheila
- 63 points apart). Mike seems secure in 5th. Kevin is chasing
Chris while trying to fend off Einar and Barry. The race for last
will be very intriguing.
This
just in ...
Guido
is down to one QB and his backup as is Bruce. He does have 4 healthy
RBs as does Bruce. He also has 5 healthy WRs, while Bruce is down
to 3. Cesar has only 1 eligible QB and his RBs are all dinged up.
Kevi ngets Levens back if he can beat out Darick Holmes. All of a
sudden, Barry has 4 ABs putting up reasonable to great numbers. And
Irvin and Moore have resurfaced. For those doubters, Robert Smith
has incurred his annual knee injury. Priest Holmes for Mushin Muhammed
appears to be the trade of the year for Chris (Guido did not need him and
drafted defensively).
