Weekend Recap - Week 5

Come on now, Derek Anderson of the Cleveland Browns, 2 for 17 for 23 yards and an interception....are you kidding me? I thought the Oakland Raiders were bad in week 4, but this 23 yard performance is down right embarrassing for an NFL team. No wait, the Buffalo Bills just lost to a team that completed two passes, think about "losing to a team that completed two passes" before you continue on this week. TO hello? The Cincinnati Bengals are for real at 4-1. The Dallas Cowboys got a very lucky win versus Kansas City Chiefs and I was so ready to make fun of my brother-in-law who is a huge Cowboys fan. Did it look like the acted like they won the  Superbowl win with that OT victory over the Chiefs? The "throwback" uniforms by the Denver Broncos made me cover my eyes and wear sunglasses when I tried to watch them. I'd like to officially call them the "throw up" jerseys instead of the "throw back" jersey.

Fantasy Game Recaps....

(8) Crippled Monkeys vs (6) Big Daddy [112.79 - 112.15] - It doesn't get much closer than this. The current lead favors Crippled Monkeys by .64 of a point. Big Daddy has one player yet to play on Monday night. Under normal circumstances, this is a gimmy win for Big Daddy, however it all comes down to Braylon Edwards. How much will he play after his recent trade to the New York Jets? If he does play, will his hands that are made of cement catch a ball that is throw his way? Buck Buck. It really wont take much for the win, one simple short catch and the victory is Big Daddy's. Still, it's Braylon Edwards and I hear LeBron James will be sitting in the Miami Dolphins stadium for the game.

(7) Buckwheat vs (11) Grease Slappers [63.40 - 102.19] - And I quote "All I need to do is score over 100 points and [Grease Slappers] will win". How true that statement became this week as the Slappers defeated Buckwheat. A frustrating loss for Buckwheat with three players on the BYE, injuries and stud DeSean Jackson not a part of the Philly offense this week. Buckwheat will drop to 2-3 in the Central. Grease with a much needed win left Cedric Benson on the bench facing the Ravens defense who has allowed a 100 yard rushing in 38 games. 120 yards and 1 TD later as a lesson learned. Honestly, the Bengals are 4-1 and one fluky catch by Brandon Stokley in Week 1 or they would be 5-0. Grease keeps pace with OAG's win in the powerful West with a 3-2 record.

(4) Dynasty vs (2) One Angry Gook [100.02 - 119.50] -We have a final with One Angy Gook moving to a 4-1 record in the powerful West Division, Dynasty will fall to 2-3 in the East. Newly acquired receivers for Dynasty took it in the shorts and spoiled the solid performance from the rest of the team. Former Grease Slappers team member, Rashard Mendenhall had another solid week plus another monster game from the Vikings Defense. This team is on a roll after getting off to a slow start, the stud players are finally starting to perform to their expectations and the outlook for this team has turned to the positive.

(1) Stickboy vs (5) The Stud Stable [142.27 - 61.83] - The lead for Stickboy is 80.44 points. Stud Stables has RB Ronnie Brown and the Jets Defense to play. 80 points by these two players is not going to happen. Stickboy, for the second week in a row, will claim the high score of the week. Yikes, someone buy him a bigger sized ball cap. The win moves him to a 4-1 record and division lead in the East. This eventual loss for the Stud Stables may have been expected with three players on the BYE and a couple of injuries on the bench. This will be the only team in week 5 to lose in the powerful West Division.

(12) Dragons vs (10) Rutting Bucks [68.24 - 64.25] - Current lead for Dragons is 3.99 points. Rutting Buck Bucks will RB Ricky Williams on Monday night. If Miami pulls that Wildcat offense crap again, this should be a win for Buck Bucks. If he does earn the win, they will be 2-3 in the Central. If this holds true, if Braylon Edwards makes one catch for Big Daddy all four teams in the Central will be tied with a 2-3 record. If Dragons is to lose this week, they fall to 1-4 in the East. This team is having the bench players score more points than the starters week after week, it's quite a streak of bad luck now.

(3) Thunder Choads vs (9) Pimp Juice [102.20 - 77.47] - Thunder Choads take the win, move to a 3-2 record in the East, one game behind Stickboy. Adrian Peterson scored big after two weeks of sub par performance, plus a fairly solid game from the rest of the starters pushed this team over the 100 point mark for the 4th time this season. Pimp Juice drops to 2-3, as noted, now is in a four way tie for 1st and last place in the Central Division.
