The M. Takers soundly defeated the Quiet Storm even without Faulk on Monday. The Takers are now at .500 after starting out 0-2 and are on the doorstep to the Elite. The Storm has been winning with defense this year, but the problem with that is that you can't come from behind when you need to, because your offense is used to grinding out the clock, not lighting up the scoreboard. The Pre-Game Hype:The Money Takers take on the Quiet Storm in a contest between veteran teams. The Takers are looking to put the first 2 weeks behind them. The Storm is just waiting for a Money team to slip-up. The Predictions/History: Spock: Quiet Storm 44 M. Takers 38 Spock's Predictions based on Points For, Points Against and Winning % |

The Black & Blue Attack pulled out the victory against the Bull Dogs on Sunday night with a big game out of Terell Owens. Of course Owens wouldn't have had a chance if not for a questionable 20 pt. TD by Mike Anderson. Miller, A-Train, Robinson. So did the Bears and Vikings switch teams and not tell anyone. The Pre-Game Hype:The Good Fellas and Black & Blue Attack will face-off in a battle of Elite Teams. Both teams will be missing their number ones, and the depth at those positions is questionable at best. I suspect Norm will be get ting a call or 2.

The Black Revenge dispatched the Jelly Beans even with out the Monday night gravy from Holt and Stewart. The Revenge was led by Shaun Alexander (Ricky who?) and Bill Schroeder who is not so quietly taking over the number one spot in the Green bay offense. The Beans finally got some points out of Moss, but at 1-3 they need more (a lot more) from their number one pick. The Pre-Game Hype:The Black Revenge will try to recover from a heart-breaking loss last week against the Jelly Beans. The Beans catch the Revenge w/o Harrison.

The Dream Team defeated the Sharks with Warner and Hakim waiting in the wings on Monday. The Dream Team has been getting superb production out of their top 4 picks. The Sharks have been hit with a Taylor injury (no shock there) and Davis is on a really bad team (of course that was true last year too, and Davis still put up numbers). As important as those middle rounds are, you are done if you get busts in the early rounds. The Pre-Game Hype:The Dream Team will try to keep the top spot by beating the Sharks. The Dream Team has been scoring a lot of points, but they have been giving up a bit too. A win for the Sharks would get them back to even and keep their season alive.

The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Bull Dogs and Hammer Heads. It was hard to give "GOW" to a game between winless teams, but this one did have Monday Night madness and that overrode the record issue. The Hammer Heads and a 6 pt. lead were not enough to hold off the Bull Dogs, Bruce and the RAMS, as the RAMS ended the suspense in the first half. The Heads got decent performances out of Culpepper and Ho llis, but they need production from other positions. Marty Booker - what else can I say. The Pre-Game Hype:The Bull Dogs and Hammer Heads match up in a battle of the winless. Beginning w/3 losses is hard enough to overcome. Four will almost be insurmountable. I did see a team start 0-6 and go 9-1-1 in the last 11 and finish in 2nd, so all is not lost.
