Not the colorful commentaries this week due to time constraints, but hopefully people get the acknowledgement they're yearning for.
3.2% Evil 94.07
Knights Who Say Ni 68.30
LT over Shaun. Charlie Batch (MAC, yo!) over Jeff Blake. Reggie Wayne's Monday night performance drives the nail in my coffin. Marco's in the playoff hunt. Me... probably not so much
Execute Plan 9 71.27
elephantstoners 93.27
Super Bowl preview? Maybe not if Billz keeping playing like this. Nobody on the Plan stand out, and everybody scored less than Edge, Palmer, Dunn, and Gates.
Max's Silver Hammers 51.90
El Nacho de Muerte 72.87
Max and I seem to be fighting for biggest season plummet. Nacho's RB situation just got more complicated with a possible emergence of Larry Johnson.
Repeat Offenders 67.40
Rex and the Jedi 70.43
Two guys who claim their seasons are over are above .500, which means playoff possibilties. Spade wins this one with his receiving game, specfically Jerry Porter and Dennis Northcut (Browns, baby!)
Gilead Gunslingers 65.00
timmyjoe42er's 77.50
Timmy won. 'Nuff said.
The Sunlandic Twins 43.50
Andyfest 98.23
Andy downplayed his win with the claim that C-Man didn't show up. Dude, you would have beaten anybody this week, and you're in second place. Feel good 'bout DAT!
The Grape Rush 55.73
Greased-up Deaf Guys 59.53
Ripple loses once again. I'd feel bad if he hadn't started Ahman Green and a fullback on bye. Surprisingly, the difference isn't any of paper's receivers but Tom Brady.
Sack of Worms 60.13
The Mendoza Line 70.83
How great would it be if the Mendoza Line finished .500. Not very Mendoza-ish really when you think about it. Rudi Johnson helped jagged stay in this one for a while.
Lick my Lovepump 65.63
Schadenfreude 95.27
Ryan is .500 again... that tie really keeps-things-interesting/fucks-things-up-for-everybody-else. Ernest Wilford is getting all of Reggie William's work. Damn him. Geoff win with the usual suspects: Steve Smith, Joey Galloway, and NEIL RACKERS!
Rocket Sauce 93.13
Bolsheviks in Space 81.77
Six starters in double digits for bitterbuffalo, who still leads the total points race. One of Lambchop's better outings thanks to Marvin Harrison and Carolina's D. Too bad it keeps down at the bottom.
Looking ahead to Week 10: Andy's afraid of Shaun Alexander, but he shouldn't be. j is lucky to face Marco on LT's bye week. Billz vs. Nacho could have some playoff implications. Spade vs. Max? Maybe not as many. Is Peyton back, or will Scott beat Timmy's ass? Backspace has three starters on bye against the Rocket Sauce. Potential easy wins for paper and jehrico as their opponents haven't seemed to show. Joy might come as the misfortune of jagged. Ryan's got the Bolsheviks with McNair on his bye week. Still workable...
