The Sharks, Thrash and a 49 point lead were too much for the Jelly Beans, McNabb, Barber, Pinkston and Akers to overcome on Monday night. The Sharks were led by a break-out performance by Garcia. The Beans had an army going on Monday night, but even an army gets demoralized by 0 Sunday points. I personally like to have a little something going on Monday night, but I would prefer not seeing the old goose-egg posted in the preliminary results. The Pre-Game Hype:The hard-luck Jelly Beans take on the Sharks this week in the "Cedar Lane" bowl. The Beans are up there in points scored but can't see to stop the opponent. The Sharks don't have much of a sweet tooth, but they intend to make an exception for the Faulk-less Beans.

The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Black & Blue Attack and the Body Shop. In a battle to keep the Attack from running away with the title early, the Shop came up big and made first place a possibility for a bunch of teams. The running tandem of McAllister and Zeroue led the Shop. Bledsoe made his contribution as well. The Attack got nice performances from Gannon, Alexander and Feely but they had goose-eggs everywhere else. This game was chosen as "GOW" because it's importance to the standings over-rode any of the Monday Night madness affected games. Generally it takes a real important game (or really lousy Monday night impact) for me to go this way on the "GOW". The Pre-Game Hype:The Black & Blue Attack and Body Shop square off in a battle of Elite Teams. The Shop went 5-0 and forgot how to win. The Attack had a hiccup out of the gate, but have won 6 in a row. The Predictions/History: Spock: Black & Blue 66 Body Shop 56 Spock's Predictions based on Points For, Points Against and Winning % |

The Black Revenge defeated the Dream Team and kept a hold on that last Elite spot as the Dream Team and Bryant could not overcome a 23 point lead, Toomer and the EAGLES. The Revenge were led by Portis and Moss. Who covered for a less than spectacular performance by Green. The Dream Team had nice days out of Manning and Henry, but they came up short elsewhere. The Pre-Game Hype:The Black Revenge tries to hold on to that last Elite spot against the Dream Team, one of the 4 teams trying to steal that spot. These teams have won the last 3 championships and at the midpoint they are trying to stay or ge t in the Elite.

The M. Takers defeated the Bull Dogs on Sunday by a huge margin and still had the GIANTS coming on Monday. The Takers were led by a huge day out of their WRs, including a break-out day by TO. The Dogs have now lost 4 in a row and are sinking fast. They were hit hard by the BYE this week, but even with that 22 total roster points is not a good sign. The Pre-Game Hype:The M. Takers take on the Bull Dogs in a contest between 3-4 teams. The Takers hope to put together a winning streak. The Dogs hope to kill a losing streak on a week where they get hit hard by the BYE.

The Quiet Storm handed the Good Fellas another sound beating also. The Storm was led by balanced scoring with every starter scoring and every start receiving double-digit scoring from every starter except their QB and their S T. In fact the Storm cleared 90 points and Gramatica was the only starter over 20. The Fellas continue to struggle. Their QB woes may have started spreading to the rest of the team as even the reliable Garner came up empty this week. The Pre-Game Hype:The Quiet Storm and Good Fellas tee it up in week 8. The Storm is in the thick of "Championship" battle. The Fellas have been hit hard by overloading on the RAMS and this week they don't have any of those RAMS.
