Week 8

Welcome to November...and I must say October went out with a bang as we celebrated Hallow Havoc on Saturday. Details not forthcoming.
PLUS! Great news. My editor [Spell Check] has ended his holdout and is back at work. However, sadly my photographer [Clip Art] was grumpy this week and needs to get off his ass next week.



----VS----
#2 Pineapple Express 113------------#8 Ragin' Girth of Fury 107
DESPITE STRONG EFFORT FURY RUN OUT OF STEAM

Coach Jim could be a strong team going forward as in week 8 we saw some good roster moves (i.e. benching players on a bye week). Despite this the Pineapple Express, minus Brady, was still able to keep up their winning ways and slip past the Fury. The game came down to the last few plays as Larry Fitzgerald missed a pass in the end zone as time expired for the Cardinals as well as the Ragin' Girth of Fury. Ironically the Fury were hampered by one of their best weapons, Ronnie Brown. It would appear the Wildcat is not so wild when facing a good defense because the New York Jets held the former Auburn star to only 4 points on the day.







----VS----
#4 Turbo Techies 104--------------#7 Mallards 162
TECHIES/TROJANS FALL TO THE DUCKS

"I'm like the USC of the PAC 4 conference". This was a bold statement made by Coach Wes at the start of the season. Shortly after the Oregon Ducks were done pounding the USC Trojans into the swamp the Mallards took the field against the Turbo Techies and proceeded to send them to join their USC counterparts. It was the first time the Mallards have beaten the Techies and they made it memorable. The Techies receiving corp never got in gear as Brandon Marshall, Greg Olsen and Johnny Know both posted under 10 points. If this was not exciting enough the Jaguars defense looked like USC against Vince Young...fitting since they played against Vince Young.
Mallards fans rejoice at the defeat of the evil Techies










----VS----
#1 Tenn. Valley Vipers 141----------#6 Bama Black Bears 124
BEARS SINK IN THIRD STRAIGHT GAME

The Bay Bears are doing all they can to keep their heads above water as they posted their 3rd loss in a row this past week. Wes Welker's absence was not what the struggling Bama Bears needed as more points from WR Roy (the self proclaimed) "The Legend" Williams posted only 9 points. In the end though this loss was not about a single bad performance, or even a bad over all performance. The Bama Black Bears posted decent points but just came up short by games end. Despite the bad run of luck Coach Comer still has the water bears at .500 and in very real contention for the wildcard if not the PAC 4 title.





----VS----
#3 Gusmeisters 126-------------------Fatboys 135
SIGN OF LIFE FROM THE FATBOYS

The Fatboys, long since considered dead from the start of October on, rose up and posted a nice win against the #3 team in the country. Perhaps the best aspect of the game was the arena football quality it had. Besides the high score what quality would I be referring to? The fact that both teams would have scored better if they would not started a defense. The Faboys/Broncos defense posted -3 points only to be outdone by the Gusmeisters/Cardinals defense posting -4 points. All of this made much better by the fact that Coach Gusty had the Cowboys defense (23 points) on the bench this week.

This just in...Ted Ginn has returned ANOTHER kick for a TD against the Gusmeisters.







----VS----
Baconators 134--------------------- Decepticons 78
BACONATORS POUR TABASCO SAUCE IN DECEPTIONS ASS

Feel that burn! The Decepticons posted their 3rd loss in a row in dramatic fashion as they were run out of the building by the Baconators, who now are tied for last in the Road to Auburn conference. For the Decepticons it was more of the same; crappy players playing like crap. WR Kenny Britt (probably no relation to any of the Britt's from Bama...unless he can flip a pool table) posted 1.7 points while Willis McGahee topped that inept showing with a 1.3 game. My favorite stat is not that Willis posted 1.3 points but that he did it like this:
Rush Yards: -1
Receptions: 1
Rec. Yards: 4
Power stats for sure. The only question now is which fantasy team is going to be unfortunate to draft him next year...on the off chance the Decepticons don't keep him.
"What you talkin' about Willis!?" Talking about getting his ass kicked it would appear.
Note: the dirt is still going forward although his body is most certainly not







----VS----
da Bears 146-----------------------Steel Dragons 103
BEARS PROVE TO BE THE TOUGHER BEAST

Dragons and Bears squared off against each other this past weekend and it was the fur covered animal taking down the metallic reptile. Injuries and bye weeks hampered the Steel Dragons as TE Chris Cooley was unable to play (and won't for some time) while WR Randy Moss was on a bye week. The gaps in the roster left by those two were filled by Marcedes Lewis and Nate Washington...a slight step down in talent. Lewis did actually catch a pass and Nate caught a TD which had to please Coach Plousis but in the end the two replacement players only combined for 13 points.







----VS-----
Frat-tastics 111--------------------#5 Fergs 99
NOVEMBER FEELS LIKE SEPTEMBER FOR FERGS

Perhaps Coach Ferg said it best, "There is the Fergs I remember from September." Indeed with the start of November the Fergs reverted back to their pre-season form as they lost to the Frat-tastics and failed to break 100 points. You know your day is going to suck pretty hard when your kicker outscores 5 of your other players, as happened to the Fergs this past week. I really have no lack of directions to go with regard to this game but I'll start and end with Steve Slaton. Slaton fumbled twice and was benched against the Bills only to have his backup, Ryan Moats, come in and post 32 fantasy points...ouch for the Fergs. Playing against the Bills rush defense should have been a treat for Slaton, but sadly for the Fergs Slaton dropped his treat and Ryan Moats ate it. Slaton would finish the day with 1 point.

<---RIGHT CLICK TO SET AS WALLPAPER
No real point to this picture being here other than she is a Texans cheerleader and this article dealt with Texans players. Besides, every other site (including ESPN) has used this exact picture in an attempt to talk about the Texans. POTW is just going to skip the BS talk about the Texans part and post the picture for you.
