Week 6

So in a 14 team league it is still very possible, and likely, that numerous teams will score over 150 points. Hell these days scoring 160 points is not even a given win since the disparity in the NFL is at an all-time high certain players on certain teams are able to put up video game numbers and single handily destroy your fantasy team. Buckle your seat belts, should be a bumpy ride from here on in. I would say that the scores this week were "video game like" but my Madden settings are accurate enough to where I can't really throw 5 TDs in a half and return 2 kicks in one game...

#5 Pineapple Express 165----------#2 Bama Black Bears 130

No one game fully explains what I was pointing out in my opening statements better than this game. The Pineapple Express had 1 player over 50, 1 player over 40, and two players over 20...combined with 1 player at 1, 1 player at zero, and the defense in negative points. The Bama Black Bears answered with 1 player over 35, and 2 players over 25...and a WR and RB well under 10. Welcome to the 2009 season. If like it now your going to love it when the NFL loses it's salary cap and the amount of disparity between teams gets even larger. By 2011 look for the Titans, Rams, and Lions to all be farm clubs for the Cowboys and Patriots. What does this have to do with fantasy football and why the hell am I writing about it in this game? This is the future. Teams led by one or two players posting video game numbers against teams that don't have an NFL player on their roster.

Baconators 95------------------------- #6 Mallards 159

At this point the Baconators are more of a side show than an opponent. But the show is a good one. Each week we all gather around Statracker or our iPhone app. and watch to see if the Baconators will score over 100 points. The Baconators this week pushed the 100 point mark but came up just 5 points short. The Baconators backup Ben Roethlisberger stepped up big in his first (and last) appearance in our league this year as he scored 29 points. The Ravens defense added a bit of comedy to the show by posting -2 points. I guess the old man at QB and Adrian Peterson were just too much for "knife fighter" Ray Lewis and his band of late/cheap hit thugs.

Somebody actually painted this farce.

Jesus must be saying, "It is ok it stab people to death as long as you make the Pro Bowl the next year."

#8 Fergs 173--------------------------#1 Swirls 119

The Tenn. Valley Vipers donned their Swirls throwback jerseys in week 6 and then proceeded to throw up all over the field. Nothing says, "We didn't really want to be ranked #1 anyways" more than getting hammered by over 50 points. It was the second week in a row the Vipers were out of the game by half time in the early game on Sunday...consistent at least. With this team they don't keep you around waiting to see if they will hit that last second field goal for a win, they just don't bother taking part in the game at all.

On the other hand; don't look now but the Fergs have won 3 in a row and are first in the Road to Auburn conference...

Gusmeisters 162---------------------- Steel Dragons 156

The battle of respectability raged well into Monday night as these two teams swapped points as Steel Dragons QB Philp Rivers threw to Gusmeisters WR Vincent Jackson. If you have played this game for 1 week you know how that one ends. The fact that a WR can score more points for fewer yards and gets a point for the reception resulted in the Steel Dragons falling short again this week. Call me Mr. Brightside but the fact that the Steel Dragons score 3x as many points this week as they did last week shows that Coach Plousis has this team at least pointed in the right direction. It is a shame for him that that direction is currently unranked.

da Bears 152--------------------#3 Decepticons 92

The Decepticons came into this game ranked #3 in the land and leading the Road to Auburn conference. They quickly transformed into the Baconators and laid a 92 point egg. The Decepticons have been all over the board this year as they have won some big games, lost some close games, and now done this...shit the bed. The highlight of the week (for me at least) was Willis McGahee posting a brutal .3 points, thus showing us that he is Willis McGahee after all. Titans WR Nate Washington posted -1 point and it is a damn good thing you don't receive negative points for dropped passes or he would have ended the day with over 5 negative points (as would all of the Titans).

Someone (some idiot) thought it would be cool to create a custom Willis McGahee cover for Madden 09. It isn't.

Fatboys 121---------------------- #4 Turbo Techies 181

Smell that? The sound and smell of bacon and fat cooking like an egg on a sidewalk in Arizona? That would be the Fatboys season burning to the ground. The Fatboys has lost 4 in a row and with dismal point totals over that spread they could keep this train wreck rolling along nicely with 5 or 6 loses in a row. In all fairness to the Fatboys they did start 2 Redskins which the Redskins themselves don't want to do (one of which was the Redskins defense, although against the Chiefs that is a good idea). The Fatboys have really not played bad over this 4 games nightmare, they have just been grossly outplayed by their opponents. In the end the reasons won't matter much because Coach Fudge find himself in a big hole. The Fatboys are 2 games back in the PAC 4, which may be the toughest conference in the league.

Scared of swine flu? Probably not. This man is showing you what he thinks about the Fatboys team. His mask would indicate that the Fatboys stink very badly.

#7 Ragin' Girth of Fury 146---------Frat-tastics 166

I made a deal with myself that I would not write about any game that involved players on a BYE week starting but then the Monday night game started...

The Frat-tastics were well on their way to their fourth loss of the season when Eddie Royal decided to not only play like a keeper but like a super keeper. Royal ran a kick AND a punt back for a TD and while Jim may have missed it all it was enough to route the RGoF once and for all. Good thing he ran back those kicks because he factored very little into the offense prior to the returns, but then again who cares. When you get over 30 points from 2 plays why both with 3 plays.er

See you after week 7...
