Week 8 - 2008 Recaps!

Battlin' Buffys vs Gypsy Cats

One owner kept his faith in LT and was rewarded with 28pts. The other owner started Jay Cutler on a bye and got nada.

One owner saw that Matt Schaub and Houston actually has an offense this year, and was rewarded with 27pts. The other owner started Steven Jackson on a bye and got zilch.

One owner saw that even though Dallas Clark hadn't gotten TD's, he was getting lots of receptions and was rewarded with 26pts. The other owner started the Bears D on a bye and got zippo.

One owner won the game to stay very much in the playoff hunt. The other owner would've won if he had just started players who weren't on a bye.

One owner is walking the walk as well as talking the talk. The other owner walking and talking his way to a league leading 3rd COTW.

Annihilators def. the Tuckers (118 - 118)

Ooof - talk about the agony of defeat. The Tuckers were unable to halt their four game skid despite tying Christine's offspring on Sunday. How is that possible you ask? Perhaps Glen's slow internal plumbing is affecting his cognitive abilities you wonder? Nope. MML rules state that in the case of a tie, the win goes to the team with more reserve points. So much to Joe's chagrin, 64 beats 36 in this mathematical reality.

The 'Nihilators had a triple, twenty point threat in Week 8. Roddy "Michael Who" White powered Team Kim, thanks to a 113 yard, 2 TD, and 28 point performance. Christine's QB combo had a pretty good day as well, with Philip "Moon" Rivers and Peyton Manning combining for 564 yards, 5 TDs, and 49 big ones. Still all was not well on the NSCA sidelines, as Jason "Hurry Back Tony" Witten and Derrick "Flacco What" Mason laid a pair of goose eggs. Still Christine had plenty of firepower securing some quality pine time, as Anquan Boldin and Mewelde Moore amassed 48 points between them.

The JMT were led by Drew "Cool" Brees, who tossed in 339 yards, 3 TDs, 29 points from across "the Pond" (as English Melissa likes to calls it). Meanwhile, DeAngelo Williams rumbled to 108 yards, a TD, and 24 points stateside and Dwayne Bowe was on the receiving end of 102 yards and 14 points. Unfortunately Joe got a big, steamin' bowl of jack from T.O., Roethlisberger, and Scaife. Unfortunately for the Tuckers, that bowl of jack was accompanied by a big L, pushing them just that much closer to the cellar of the Cripps Division.

The Nelsons 122 Bay City Steamrollers 155

I drove into San Francisco today to give a last minute presentation at a fundraising conference, for which I felt completely unprepared. As I sit down at my computer to right this recap, I have somewhat the same feeling. My team left over 100 points sitting on the bench, while both the Nelsons and the Steamrollers left a mere 30. Sei's team had few holes, with Frank Gore, Andre Johnson and Antonio Gates all breaking 20 points. That gave him the highest point total of the week. Kanako just couldn't match the Steamrollers' fire power. I must say, however, that it brings back fond memories, memories from the first year of the Montana Mile League, memories of when we were all so much less jaded about football and the world, and when we could still be thrilled by a simple game between to rivals on Monday night ... yes, I am reminded of all this, all those fond memories, when I see the Nelsons starting Kerry Collins. Or am I just remembering all the crap I took for drafting him in an early round that year.

Sluts defeat the Surf Riders (146 – 102)

The Sluts allure was too much for the Surf Riders to resist. Westbrook shot his load early with 43 fantasy points, but that premature ejaculation was not enough to inspire the rest of Glen’s boys. The Surf Riders proved unworthy to swim against the tide and penetrate any of the Sluts defense. Glen only had 4 players in double digits, and besides Westbrook, his higher scoring playa’ was Eli Manning with 13 points. Withering on his bench was Kevin Walter (22) and Jamal Lewis (19). Sadly, those 41 points wouldn’t have made a difference in the outcome of his team’s impotence.

Just like Jodie Foster in “the Brave One”, Melissa came out guns a blazing. Only 2 starters were under 10 points, and she saw nice games from Steve Smith (28), Marshawn Lynch (20) and Jake Delhomme (18). Her bench even scored 74 points! That being said, she made all the right moves with her starting line-up. 2nd highest points of the week and she emerges the victor. To the victor goes the spoil. The Sluts move into 2nd place in the Bloods Division. That’s quite a comeback after starting the season 0-2.
