Week 8

Vultures (1660) vs Call Me Mr G (1304)
Do we detect a chink in the armor? Did Thomas' team score only 1660 points this week? Uh oh. When the Patriots D is your top scorer (with 400 pts), isn't it time to panic? I believe it is. The Vultures have decided to fire their current coach and hire Joe Torre. "We're really big Dodger fans so in solidarity, we want to get their new skipper on our side too. We've also decided to throw Brad Penny behind center this weekend to see what happens. Might be fun!" Jermaine confirmed this week that he is alive and well even thoug hhis team suffered from sub-par performances all around. This was the week to pull a huge upset but Call Me Mr G couldn't quite pull it off. Maybe a defense and tight end would have made the difference? But it's hard to fault not having a backup TE or Def during a bye week.

Ask About Me (2072) vs Team Rich (1978)
Wow, when Will starts to win, he really doesn't stop. With three wins and a head full of steam, Will parlayed Donovan McNabb and Braylon Edwards' big days into a tight victory over close friend and pajama party buddy Rich. It's starting to look like Braylon will be a top five receiver this year so Will got a hell of a deal in his trade with Jon. As for Rich? He would have won if RBs Rudi Johnson and Travis Henry hadn't submitted big fat zeros. With Lee Evans turning it on this week (361 pts) and Tom Brady remaining out of this world (541 pts), Rich is still a heavyweight contender despite a close loss. Okay, maybe not heavyweight, but welterweight?

Dog Killers (1893) vs Renegadez (1049)
Well, Rene played six players on bye so really, that's all she wrote. The great news is that Drew Brees accounted for half of his 1049 points, the bad news is, well, six players were on bye.

El Nino's (1720) vs StickIT2Em (1131)
I feel like Ben's not paying attention, anyone else concur? Another week, another three guys on bye. Joe Horn is a starting WR in 1% of Yahoo leagues, that 1% being our league. I mean, Ben has some talent on his roster but they can't get on the field? I think Ben's trying to make a statement to his players. Hong on the other hand is riding the hot wave of Wes Welker and a newly rejuvenated Marques Colston, despite the fact that his QBs combined for 104 points this week. Yeah, 104.

Bad News Bruins (2287) vs Redskins (1120)
Easily one of Tae's finest performances of the season. The Bruins stopped the freight train that was Chris and halted him behind 403 points from Brett Favre and 465 points from the Chargers D. The Bruins look to be in decent shape in the backfield, even though Larry Johnson still kinda sucks. With Brandon Jacobs, Laurence Maroney, and LenDale White starting for their team, the points are rolling in for Tae. For Chris, it was just a case of a bad week as nobody performed well except for old stalwart Peyton Manning (323 pts).

Next week: Vultures vs Dirty Birds. Yet another #1 vs #2 matchup. It feels like each week Thomas sits atop the hill as the champion while new contenders emerge. He's like the Hulk Hogan of Omnis Fantasy. Luckily, Jon is the Ultimate Warrior circa Wrestlemania 6. Bonus question: What was Ultimate Warrior's first wrestling name? Bonus question 2: Who was his partner back then?
