Week 4

Anyone who thought that the league point totals were off to a big start was in for a treat in week 4. Four teams failed to score over 100 points and close to half the league failed to score over 110 points. Yes my friends, the bye weeks are upon us. Due to the fact many of us spent Sunday watching a few football games then touring downtown Atlanta I will start this POTW off with a little bonus content:


Nobody comes to POTW to read about music so I won't spend a lot of time doing some review of a concert saying this like "Metallica is cool" and "they rock" but I did post some cool pics I came across from the Atlanta show:




Metallica on stage in Atlanta this past Sunday night...note the lack of beer because apparently nobody can get beer in Georiga on a Sunday, not even Metallica (I know, I know, they did sell beer for 30 minutes during the show...how genrous)

...yes, this is what you think it is and yes your welcome. If you want a better/clearer pic of this I will e-mail it to you.
Metallica has been brought to you by Jagrmeister and Steak and Shake




-----VS----
Gusmeisters 101-------------Pineapple Express 131

Despite getting off to a laughable start the Pineapple Express has shown so real flash in their wins this season. In week 4 they went up against the highly ranked Gusmesiters and proceeded to post one of their best performances of the season. It really is hard to pinpoint one area of the Gusmeisters that was far worse than any other. The running game was slow at best as Peterson only managed 10 points while Larry Johnson managed 8*. The passing game was not much better as all 3 WRs failed to break 10 points. All in all this was a very forgettable experience for the Gusmesiters. The only bright spot was that their second string QB scored 31 points. What is that I hear? Trade offers for Kurt Warner or Brett Farve?
* in talking with Gusty he seems to think LJ is only good for about 8 points so I won't criticize Johnson too much for sucking again this week because truth be told Gusty has a good point.






----VS----
Baconators 122---------------Turbo Techies 98

In a battle of teams with scary skull logos it was the Baconators that fried the Techies ass in week 4. A win for Coach Al would have been nice but to blow out the Turbo Techies must feel even better. The Techies posted one of their worst performances in franchise history enroute to their first loss of the season. The Turbo Techies Saints attack sputtered as Drew Brees and Marques Colston accounted for only 15 combined points. The Steelers defense was not much better as they were slapped around by a team coached by Norv Turner. Sad indeed. Perhaps the best news is that if neither of these teams are in a conference championship game they will get to play again in the last week of the season, and we will all enjoy that.







-----VS-----
Tenn. Valley Vipers 167----------Frat-tastics 114
There is an unwritten rule that says I really only call out bad players and bad performances. It is an unwritten rule but not a law. The Frat-tastics are probably disappointed with their performance and expect that disappointment to be reflected in POTW but I'm not going there. The Frat-tastics were without Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez, 2 keeper players. Despite the missing firepower they still posted 114 points, which is more than 7 other teams (some of which were winners). In addition to that the 49ers defense scored 54 points for the Vipers and that is really hard for anyone to overcome. If that is not enough firepower for you "the other" Steve Smith scored 36 points. Game. Set. Match.



-----VS-----
Mallard 143----------------------Decepticons 140

Another week, another close game for the Mallards. Win or lose they keep you watching up until the last game, and sometimes the last play of the last game. The Decepticons, no stranger to losing close games themselves, came up short in the Game of the Week but still posted very respectable numbers across the board. If there was a short coming for Coach CT it was the fact that TE Jason Witten and RB Willis McGahee both posted under 10 points. Witten is a star and should be able to posted numbers better than he did, while the only thing surprising about Willis is that he didn't manage to lose his starting job to Ray Rice/LaRon McClain.






-----VS-----
da Bears 93--------------------Fergs 133

Potential thy name is da Bears. With an All-Star roster of top players at their respective positions da Bears have performed much like the da Bears in the post-Ditka era. In some of the reports you have read thus far I talked about how the entire team played well even in the losing effort. In the case of da Bears the entire team was awful in a well deserved losing effort. Including the defense da Bears only had 4 roster spots achieve the rare air of double digit points. Justin Gage (who sounds like a Carmen Sandiego character) lead the charge with 2 points. Stellar effort. In Gage's defense he is on the Titans who at this point could go back to starting Vince Young just so their games would be more entertaining, not to mention the good headlines Vince would give us after he goes 11-35 with 3 INTs.
Carmen Sandiego, in a rare public appearance, looks on in disgust as Justin Gage drops another pass. The bad on her left is no doubt filled with rare diamonds and art work she stole, while the London Bridge is tucked away inside her jacket






-----VS-----
Fatboys 92--------------------Steel Dragons 105

From time to time I may give you guys some homework, or a task just to make sure your paying attention. In this article I will post one of those little nuggets. Your task, should you chose to accept it, is to go to the league web page and in the posting section please post any and all trades the the Fatboys/Coach Fudge have made to you. I know there should be about 15 postings within an hour of POTW hitting the stands. I'm not even going to comment on this actual game, I just want to see the posting and I'm sure it will take off like Wile E. Coyote attached to an Acme rocket.
Don't laugh, many of the Fatboys trade offers don't make THIS much sense



-----VS---
Ragin' Girth of Fury 92------------Bama Black Bears 100

I'm not really sure why I'm even writing a review of this game because I seriously doubt anyone is going to read it. Since I am a professional* I will suck it up and put forth a Jason Campbell effort into this article. Coach Hand was unaware that he needed to manage his roster, which lead to him starting two players that were on a bye week. As if that was not enough Braylon Edwards posted zero points, so basically he was also on a bye week. Given this stellar effort you would have though that the Ragin' Girth of Fury would have won by more than...8 points. Comer you should be embarrassed, because my article on your team's performance would have been much better. Instead I just have to write about the Ragin' Girth of Fury needs some hand holding...
* I'm not at all, but I also don't pretend to be a sports writer either...which is saying something these days. However the fact that I was able to make a Carmen Sandeigo and Wile E. Coyote reference in the same article should have you running around your office cheering this masterpiece.




See you after week 5...
