![]() Week 9 finds the Dream Team separating from the pack. The rest of the pack seems to be getting tighter. All but one team is within one game of the Elite line. Needless to say the elite spots are still wide open. And thankfully, the multiple team bye weeks are over. I haven't heard much on the temporary trade rules, if you have a comment or suggestion, feel free to contact me. In case you lost it, the league's url is http://swffl.50megs.com, drop by, take a look at the archive. These notes are also available via e-mail if you have an e-mail account.

Norm was 2/5 this week making him 16/30 (53%) on the season and he retains top billing. Spock was 2/5 this week making him 10/30 (33%) on the year and his locks appear below: MT -7 GF (97) BR -8 BB(104) There was only 1 game that was over and the rest were pretty much still up in the air going into Monday night. The Dream Team and Quiet Storm paired up in a battle of 1st and 2nd place teams. The Dream Team was hampered by the BYE and the Storm has had a full infirmary. So both teams limped on to the field and the traded a few blows and called it a day as the Dream team hung on to the victory with Rod Smith still to come. The Storm's Saint double-bubble threw double bubbles allowing the Dream Team peaceful dreams on Sunday night. |
The Jelly Beans, Griese and an 11 point lead were too much for the Black & Blue Attack, Mike Anderson and the Raiders to overcome. Thee teams were putting up big points with the likes of Manning, Owens, Green and Priest Holmes. On a week where points seem to be scarce, either of these teams would have had a good chance against any other team. The Bull Dogs (dare I say the hottest team in the league) and a 14 point lead were too much for the M. Takers, Rice and Elam. The Dogs have won 3 in a row and have moved from the basement to the pack that is contending for a Elite spot. The Takers have a tenuous grip on their Elite spot. The Takers were hit hard by the BYE (but not as hard as Flutie was hit) and took a chance on the waiver wire. Rhodes 11 kept them in the game, the Joseph move was a good move that proved unfruitful. This game (like the Bears game) looked all but over. A score to Booker and then the OT BEARS score snatched the victory for the Dogs. The Sharks, Brown, BRONCOS and a 5 pt. lead were too much for the Hammer Heads and Garner to overcome on Monday Night. The Sharks are finally getting some production out of Stephen Davis and Vandy had a great game. Favre's 6 was a bit disappointing. The Heads goose-egg from Batch did them in, but Thrash seems to be emerging into a must start player. The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Black Revenge and Good Fellas. The youngsters built up a 14 point lead going into Monday night on the arm of Donovan and the legs of the A-Train (seems to be doing better than Bruce to me). The "Death Valley" squad kept Gannon and Janikowski in reserve for Monday and the RAIDER duo easily overcame the 14 point deficit. The Revenge was heard to say something about Rookies trying to win in their house or something like that. CHATTERBOX:(Get Quotes in by Monday Night)
