Week 16 Playoff Recap!

Emerald City Chimps (141) defeat Bloodthirsty Scalping Savages (60)
Kevin did himself no favors by boldly predicting defeat on the IOP message boards. His team limped towards their second lowest point output of the season (he had scored a flaccid 54 points in week 4) and his self-fulfilling prophecy was complete. Like a triumphant Luke Skywalker, the Chimps thrashed down on the evil empire before Darth Vader could even consider the words, “I am your father”. Even the Chimp bench got in the act, outscoring Kevin’s starting 8 (69-60). The Savages lone star was Anquan Boldin (18 points), as he has left all skeptics in the dust and will undoubtedly be a top WR pick in the 2006 Fantasy Draft. David Garrard put up a feisty 15 fantasy points, but it proved futile as the rest of the Savage Beast could only muster a total of 27 points between 6 positions. Kevin’s team picked the wrong week to quit smoking. The Chimps only required two players to pound the Savages into submission: Santana Moss (loc’d out going crazy with 36 points) and Tory Holt (27 points). Only one player on the Chimps squad decided to take it easy on Saturday, that was L. Tynes of the KC Chiefs – he missed a PAT and a FG on his way to one point. The Chimps could have scored 147 points this week, but that would have required using Vick and Mason instead of Brunell and Parker – but Commish will take the W and move his way into the finals with a smile on his face.

Rolling Blackouts (92) defeat Arcadia Bobcats (70)
The Browns DST put up negative 11 points for Peter Bobcat this week. There is nothing, however, that his bench could have done – his entire 16 man roster only scored 87 points. Ron must thank the gods of fate for not pitting him against the Chimps this week. Sadly for Kevin, however, he would have lost no matter who his opponent could have been this week. Pete saw sharp performances from Ricky Williams (20), Chad Johnson (21), and Chris ‘Waiver Wire Gold’ Cooley (12), but they were not enough to pick up the slack from such ugly performances as Drew Brees (8), Jonathan Wells (8) and Marty Booker (5). Ron benefited from having 5 players in double figures, led by the two headed beats of Tiki (11) and Portis (22) and rounded off with a little Chris “Marilyn” Chambers (19) and Matt Stover (12). His bench was also solid with 61 points (enough to beat Kevin!).
