This season is getting interesting. With losses by both Brown's Backups (5-2) and Play to Win the Game (5-2), Favre Failure Wagon (7-0) earns a two-game buffer hold on first place in the league. Will anybody be able to challenge Steve? There is a three-way tie for second place, including Undefeated (5-2) and the aforementioned losers of this week. (Undefeated leads on the points tiebreaker with a 54-point advantage over PTW and nearly 150 over BB). Spots 5, 6 and 7 are occupied by teams with a 4-3 record, with another three teams only a game behind at 3-4.
The point is this: only two games separate 2nd from 9th place. With six games remaining before the playoffs, no teams are out of the hunt. In fact, those who are fortunate enough to occupy one of the top 6 spots are only a injury away from being on the outside looking in.
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** The Little Guy (Kyle) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 0.93 points **
Man, did this one go back and forth! Monday night saw these two see-sawing for the supreme squad sobriquet in their swanky suite in DC. Ultimately, an injury to Tony Romo (QB - Dal / 8.36) doomed an otherwise stellar RN team - in fact, he was the only single-digit scorer on the team. Kyle's team was all over the place, but it didn't matter - Matt Cassel (QB - KC / 20.76) and Adrian Peterson (RB - Min / 29.10) really brought their A-Game. Next week TLG (3-4) will play Two-Hand Touch (1-6) and RN (3-4) will take on Boycott LA (3-4).
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Sexual Chocolate (John) by 8.20 points **
John almost handed Steve his first loss of the season this week, but almost doesn't count and Steve is looking more powerful by the week. Even with shit games from Brandon Lloyd (WR - Den / 2.55) and Jeremy Shockey (TE - NO / 2.00), he defeated John's squad that included the Bears Defense (21.80) and Chris Johnson (RB - TE / 16.15). Next week FFW (7-0) will play Sobchak Security (4-3) and Sexual Chocolate (2-5) will play Mad Max's Mama (4-3).
** Boycott LA (Matt) DEF Two Hand Touch (Rex) by 11.31 points **
Earlier in the week Rex called this one an "easy win". Guess he spoke too soon, since Matt took this one thanks to several unremarkable but solid games from Steven Jackson (RB - StL / 18.75) and Hines Ward (WR - Pit / 14.30) while Rex had three players under 6 points. Next week THT (1-6) plays The Little Guy (3-4) and Boycott LA (3-4) plays RN to the Rescue (3-4).
** Boss Hogg (Jordan) DEF Brown's Backups (Josh) by 15.71 points **
For Jordan, last week's good fortunes carried over to this week as he earned his first victory on the backs of Maurice Jones-Drew (RB - Jac / 21.30) and Tom Brady (QB - NE / 16.34). Josh got some serious points from Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 31.20), but that didn't make up for low totals from Roy Williams (WR - Dal / 0.00), Miles Austin (WR - Dal / 2.65) and Brent Celek (TE - Phi / 0.90). Next week BH (1-6) plays G-Unit (2-5) while BB (5-2) will play Pack-Men (4-3).
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF G-Unit (Sam) by 29.43 points **
Poor Samantha can't catch a break - Brett Favre (QB - Min / 10.06) was pick-tastic and her highest point-scorer was Cedric Benson (RB - Cin / 12.05). Meanwhile, Brett had strong games from Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 23.88) and Stephen Gostkowski (K - NE / 18.00) had a monster game, helping to propel Brett to his third straight victory. Next week PM (4-3) will take on Brown's Backups (5-2) in an effort to get into the playoff picture. G-Unit (2-5) will go after Boss Hogg (1-6).
** Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) DEF Play to Win the Game (Jeff) by 18.28 points **
Well, balls. Next week MMM (4-3) plays Sexual Chocolate (2-5) and PTW (5-2) will play Undefeated (5-2).
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** Undefeated (Bob) DEF Sobchak Security (Rick) by 58.85 points **
Holy crapola. Bob's team averaged over 20 points per player, with only Aaron Hernandez (TE - NE / 3.95) earning less than 16 points. He would have kicked the hell out of any of us this week. Ben Roethlisberger (QB - Pit / 25.93) continued his nice comeback game in a wasted effort against a gargantuan week from UD. Next week UD (5-2) takes on Play to Win the Game (5-2) and Sobchak Security (4-3) will look to avoid a 4-game losing streak against Favre Failure Wagon (7-0).
** Superstars of the Week **
1. Darren McFadden (RB – Oak – Sobchak Security / DNS) 42.30 pts
2. Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB – Buf – Two Hand Touch / DNS) 40.94 pts
3. Carson Palmer (QB– Cin – Mad Max's Mama / DNS) 38.77 pts
4. Eli Manning (QB – NYG – Undefeated) 33.44 pts
5. Matt Ryan (QB – Atl – Two Hand Touch) 33.29 pts
** AKOTW Standings **
1. Undefeated (3-0) - Week 2 +39.78 vs GrNeGgSnHaM, Week 3 +17.64 vs Brown’s Backups, Week 7 +58.84 vs Sobchak Security

Season 2010 Week 06 Recap
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Brown's Backups (Josh) DEF Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) by 0.28 points **
Jeebus. This one wasn't exactly awe-inspiring, with only 5 of a combined 14 players in double-digit scoring, including BB's Jay Cutler (QB - Chi / 14.49), Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 10.20) and Mason Crosby (K - GB / 12.00). MMM had only 2 players in double digits, but was ultimately doomed by bad advice: somebody suggested Shonn Greene (RB - NYJ / 6.65) against Denver's pourous defense rather than the injured Jahvid Best (RB - Det / 9.85) against the G-Men. Ah, well. Guess you gotta make your own choices! Next week BB (5-1) goes for his fourth straight win against Boss Hogg (0-6) and MMM (3-3) looks to avoid a slide while enjoying revenge against Play to Win the Game (5-1).
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF Boycott LA (Matt) by 2.22 points **
This is a tale of two teams: Pack Men are on the way up after winning their last 2 games, and Boycott LA is free-falling after losing their last 2. Pretty much everybody was on their game for PM, including Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 26.14) and Stephen Gostkowski (K - NE / 16.00). Boycott LA was buoyed by Steven Jackson (RB - StL / 26.30), but leaving Joe Flacco (QB - Bal / 28.14) and Deion Branch (WR - NE / 13.50) on the bench ultimately doomed his squad. Next week PM (3-3) plays his lovely wife G-Unit (2-4), while BLA (2-4) will try to right the ship against his old friend Two-Hand Touch (1-5).
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 3.01 points **
It was all going according to plan for Kyle: he was up by a few points with less than 2 minutes left on the clock - in the bag, right? Wrong. Chris Johnson (RB - Ten / 26.05) took a 35-yard run to the house, handing John his second straight win and Kyle his second straight loss. Kyle was done no favors by Josh Cribbs (WR - Cle / 2.12), who got injured early in his game. John , however, got an uncharacteristically high score from Kevin Kolb (QB - Phi / 32.11). Next week SC (2-4) looks to continue his improvement against undefeated Favre Failure Wagon (6-0) and TLG (2-4) will try not to lose to his girlfriend RN to the Rescue (3-3).
** Undefeated (Bob) DEF Boss Hogg (Jordan) by 7.26 points **
Jordan nearly earned his first win this week, until the drubbing that Tennesee (18.18) gave Jacksonville on Monday night. He had 5 of 7 players in double-digits, including Arian Foster (RB - Hou / 27.35) and Tom Brady (QB - NE / 18.14). UD's roster was hot, with Eli Manning (QB - NYG / 22.51) and Frank Gore (RB - SF / 19.95). But it was Tennessee who put him over the top. Next week UD (4-2) will take on Sobchak Security (4-2) while Boss Hogg (0-6) looks to continue his high scores against Brown's Backups (5-1).
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Two-Hand Touch (Rex) by 8.86 points **
This was a close shave for Steve - though Rex benefited from Matt Ryan (QB - Atl / 21.54) and LaDanian Tomlinson (RB - NYJ / 23.85), he was unable to keep up with FFW's Peyton Manning (QB - Ind / 25.47), Greg Jennings (WR - GB / 14.15) and Ahmad Bradshaw (RB - NYG / 17.15). Next week FFW (6-0) looks to maintain perfection against streaking Sexual Chocolate (2-4), while THT (1-5) will play Boycott LA (2-4).
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF Sobchak Security (Rick) by 18.44 points **
Rick didn't have much of a chance this week. Thanks to bye weeks and injuries, even an optimal lineup wouldn't have beaten PTW - a team anchored by Drew Brees (QB - NO / 29.86) and Rashard Mendenhall (RB - Pit / 25.20). Meanwhile, SS got some points from probable date rapist Ben Roethlisberger (QB - Pit / 28.09) and LeSean McCoy (RB - Phi / 15.75). Next week PTW (5-1) will try to avoid emasculation against Mad Max's Mama (3-3) and Sobchak Security (4-2) looks to stop his two-game skid against Undefeated (4-2)
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** RN to the Rescue (Megan) DEF G-Unit (Sam) by 26.35 points **
Megan's team won their second straight game this week, thanks to Tony Romo (QB - Dal / 29.89) and Ray Rice (RB - Bal / 22.30). G-Unit was hindered by David Garrard (QB - Jac / 1.15), who remembered that he's David Garrard. Marshawn Lynch (RB - Sea / 17.90) had a good game, though. Next week RN (3-3) will battle her boyfriend The Little Guy (2-4) and G-Unit (2-4) will take on her husband Pack Men (3-3) for fantasy football supremacy in the Yeoman Household.
** Superstars of the Week **
1. Kevin Kolb (QB – Phi – Sexual Chocolate) 32.11 pts
2. Tony Romo (QB – Dal – RN to the Rescue) 29.89 pts
3. Drew Brees (QB– NO – Play to Win the Game) 29.86 pts
4. Joe Flacco (QB – Bal – Boycott LA / DNS) 28.14 pts
5. Ben Roethlisberger (QB – Pit – Sobchak Security) 28.09 pts

Season 2010 Week 05 Recap
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Brown's Backups (Josh) DEF Sobchak Security (Rick) by 0.48 points **
Some very late Monday points from Braylon Edwards (WR - NYJ / 4.75) was all it took for Brown's Backups to defeat one of the last remaining undefeated teams despite a strong late Sunday game for Rick from LeSean McCoy (RB - Phi / 23.15). Josh had 4 players in double-digits in an impressive victory against a strong opponent. Next week BB (4-1) will battle another alliteratively blessed squad, Mad Max's Mama (3-2). SS (4-1) will battle Play to Win the Game (4-1) in a battle of the previously undefeated teams.
** G-Unit (Sam) DEF Two Hand Touch (Rex) by 8.61 points **
This one wasn't decided until very late Monday night, when G-Unit finally took control of the game. THT was the beneficiary of a massive game from Josh Scobee (K - Jac / 32.00) and a strong game from the Falcons defense (22.48). But G-Unit had a more well-rounded roster with games like Cedric Benson (RB - Cin / 22.15), Robbie Gould (K - Chi / 19.00) and Vernon Davis (TE - SF / 12.45). Next week THT (1-4) takes on the undefeated Favre Failure Wagon (5-0). G-Unit (2-3) will battle her friend RN to the Rescue (2-3).
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Play to Win the Game (Jeff) by 23.05 points **
It's pretty simple: a team cannot get 4.3 points total from it's three receivers and hope to win the game. Although FFW only had a strong game from Brandon Lloyd (WR - Den / 20.00), his roster was far more consistent than the trainwreck that was Jeff's roster. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Anyway, congratulations to Steve for being the last undefeated team in the league. Next week he hopes to defend his perfect record against Two Hand Touch (1-4) while PTW (4-1) will play Sobchak Security (4-1) - a game that will see one team fall from a stellar 4-0 to a disappointing 4-2. Fun!
** Pack-Men (Brett) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 26.00 points **
Pack Men took a step in the right direction this week with a win over the streaking Little Guy, thanks to huge games from Matt Forte (RB - Chi / 32.90) and Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 22.62). Kyle was definitely let down by previously hot Matt Schaub (QB - Hou / 6.05) and Anquan Boldin (WR - Bal / 0.65). Unfortunately for Kyle, he had only two players in double-digits. Next week PM (2-3) takes on Boycott LA (2-3) and TLG (2-3) will play Sexual Chocolate (1-4).
** RN to the Rescue (Megan) DEF Undefeated (Bob) by 26.89 points **
Bob didn't really have a chance this week - Megan's top 5 players averaged 21.42 points apiece and whooped some serious ass. Even a three-TD game from Eli Manning (QB - NYG / 32.69) couldn't bring UD to within striking distance of the girl. Next week RN (2-3) looks to bring her record up to .500 against the resurgent G-Unit (2-3) and UD (3-2) will battle Boss Hogg (0-5).
** Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) DEF Boss Hogg (Jordan) by 30.89 points **
Late roster adjustments by Jordan did him no real good against Kerri, who broke a two-game losing streak behind a good game from the insufferable Philip Rivers (QB - SD / 28.26) and Hakeem Nicks (WR - NYG / 21.50). Boss Hogg had only one player in double-digit scoring: Alex Smith (QB - SF / 29.38). Next week MMM (3-2) will take on top-performing Brown's Backups (4-1) and BH (0-5) will look to get his first win against Undefeated (3-2).
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF Boycott LA (Matt) by 47.88 points **
John got his first win this week in dramatic fashion. He had five of seven players in double-digit scoring, including Chris Johnson (RB - Ten / 28.35) and the Chicago defense (22.02). Although Matt got some good games from Joe Flacco (QB - Bal / 18.60) and Steven Jackson (RB - StL / 19.05), he couldn't keep up with SC. Note: this marks the first time ever that I've highlighted a St Louis Rams player in the recap since I began it last season. I know this because I didn't have a good way to abbreviate the team. Next week SC (1-4) looks to continue his comeback against The Little Guy (2-3) and BLA (2-3) will lick his wounds in preparation for Pack Men (2-3)
** Superstars of the Week **
1. Ray Rice (RB – Bal – RN to the Rescue) 34.45 pts
2. Matt Forte (RB – Chi – Pack Men) 32.90 pts
3. Eli Manning (QB– NYG – Undefeated) 32.69 pts

Season 2010 Week 04 Recap
Howdy managers - just a reminder that only the top 6 of 14 teams will make the playoffs this year - every game is important and tie-breakers are based on points! Make sure you guys field the best team possible each week and run up the score as much as possible - you don't want to miss the playoffs based on points.
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Brown's Backups (Josh) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 1.42 points **
RN to the Rescue was completely and utterly hosed by the Miami defense (3.54), which undercut performances from Vince Young (QB - Ten / 16.59) and Zach Miller (TE - Oak / 14.85). RN almost took the week, but BB had three players in double-digits. It brings me a great deal of joy to report that Jay Cutler (QB - Chi / -0.80) had an awful week against a very strong New York Giants defense. Next week BB (3-1) will battle undefeated Sobchak Security (4-0) and RN (1-3) will try to get back on track against new neighbor Undefeated (3-1) .
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF Two Hand Touch (Rex) by 2.04 points **
About 10 years ago, I was at a barbecue in Three Points thrown by Kerri's uncle. Kerri and I had just started dating a couple of weeks before and I wanted to make a good impression. I was sitting on the edge of the pool (in street clothes, mind you) when suddenly, Rex comes up and pushes me in. I knew that maybe it would take a year, maybe 5 years, or maybe 10 - but that I would beat that sonofabitch in Fantasy Football in a pivotal week 4 matchup one day. So take THAT! Next week PTW (4-0) plays Favre Failure Wagon (4-0) in a battle of the undefeated teams. THT (1-3) will go against G-Unit (1-3).
** The Little Guy (Kyle) DEF Undefeated (Bob) by 6.13 points **
Wow, wow, wow! Last week TLG's girlfriend beat the undefeated Mad Max's Mama and this week she gave her good juju to Kyle, who knocked off the undefeated... Undefeated. He got a little help from Matt Schaub (QB - Hou / 23.04) and the Giants defense (24.16) who registered 10 sacks, 2 interceptions, a fumble recovery against the Bears. (They also gave up just three points). Undefeated had some poor luck, however - Mike Vick (QB - Phi / 5.00) got knocked out of his game early and Roddy White (WR - Atl / 6.95) was kept out of the end zone this week. Next week TLG (2-2) will take on the fading Pack-Men (1-3) and UD (3-1) looks to get revenge against probably Miami-less RN to the Rescue (1-3).
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) by 7.90 points **
I think that Kerri is starting to panic after her second straight loss. This one was a close one against a powerful team, though, so there shouldn't be too much hand-wringing in the Gardner West household. FFW was bolstered by Peyton Manning (QB - Ind / 28.76) and Ahmad Bradshaw (RB - NYG / 23.15), while MMM had another great game from Dustin Keller (TE - NYJ / 14.40). Next week FFW (4-0) looks to continue his perfect streak against Play to Win the Game (4-0) and MMM (2-2) will take on the apparently free-falling Boss Hogg (0-4).
** Sobchak Security (Rick) DEF Pack Men (Brett) by 9.53 points **
I'd bet that Rick is pretty unhappy that the moment he benches Terrell Owens (WR - Cin / 19.60), the guy has a huge game. It didn't make much of a difference, though - another disappointing week by Mike Sims-Walker (WR - Jac / 0.00) helped to send Pack-Men to his third loss. I've got to hand it to Brett for his loyalty, though - he is hoping against hope that Walker will have a huge game after averaging less than 3.5 points per game. Next week SS (4-0) takes on Browns Backups (2-2) and PM (1-3) will go against The Little Guy (2-2)
** Boycott LA (Matt) DEF Boss Hogg (Jordan) by 34.01 points **
Jordan needed Tom Brady (QB - NE / 17.92) to get like 40 points in his Monday night matchup agains the Dolphins. Needless to say, that didn't happen. With the exception of Arian Foster (RB - Hou / 30.10), BH had a pretty rough week. Boycott LA had a dramatically different week: Antonio Gates (TE - SD / 20.95) put on a clinic against the newly crappy Cardinals and Kyle Orton (QB - Den / 30.54) put up over 350 all-purpose yards against the Titans. Next week BLA (2-2) will battle the unlucky Sexual Chocolate (0-4) and BH (0-4) will look to upset Mad Max's Mama (2-2).
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** G-Unit (Sam) DEF Sexual Chocolate (John) by 41.58 points **
The ass-kicked becomes the ass-kickers! Don't let the disappointing day by the 'bye'-ridden SC diminish the quality of Sam's team, who would have beaten 9 of the 13 other teams in the league this week - I saw this coming last week when she barely came up short against arguably the league's best team*. John's squad was a train wreck, though - Chris Johnson (RB - Ten / 11.45) was the team's highest scorer. Sam's team was anchored by David Garrard (QB - Jac / 31.61), who had an unusually high-scoring Sunday. Next week G-Unit (1-3) looks to continue her resurgence against a worthy-but-cocky Two Hand Touch (1-3) and SC (0-4) looks to put the brakes on this skid against Boycott LA (2-2)
* = I may be biased.
