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)
