In Week 11, three of the Elite teams lost, of course the team that won was a first place team. Pleas get your Thanksgiving Day starters in early, as I will be going out for dinner. I'd really like to have them by Thursday morning. I have added a Free Agent List to the web site. I have also changed the NFL NewsFeed to ESPN. Send me any Comments.

  If you need me to mail the Notes, give me a call, I think we can avoid the postage, one way or another, if not I will mail you a copy of the notes. It is cheaper and also much quicker to go electronic. The league's url is http://swffl.50megs.com .

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The M. Takers will try to avenge their Week 3 loss to the Black & Blue Attack. This matchup features a meeting of former partners from different ends of the standings. The Sharks will try to sweep the Cedar Lane Series by beating the Jelly Beans. The Beans are eyeing up that SWFFL trophy. The Goodfellas barely squeaked out a 'W' against the Quiet Storm in week 3. The difference in their current records is that 1 point win. The Black Revenge will try to complete the season sweep of the Bull Dogs. The Revenge is in virtual tie for 4th, the Dogs are a game out of the Elite, but also a game out of the basement. The Dream Team will try to complete the season sweep against the Body Shop. The Dream Team is hanging on to a Elite spot. The Shop is not.

  Norm was 4/5 this week and is 29/50 (58%) on the season. He regains top billing. Spock was 0/5 this week and is 23/50 (46%) on the season. His lines (my estimates) are below:

  Two games were over on Sunday. Two others were pretty much over. One was sort of up in the air.

  The M. Takers split the season series with the Quiet Storm as they as their 13 point lead held up against the Storm Sunday night onslaught of David Carr, Andre Johnson and Ahman Green. Green's injury early in the first quarter may have sealed the deal for the Takers. Carr passed for a TD and Johnson caught everything but a TD and managed a 6 point yardage bonus. In the end the Takers led by Vick, won by 1.

  The Black Revenge completed the season sweep against the Defending Champion Good Fellas. The Revenge was led by James, the STEELERS and Brooks. The Fellas were led by McNabb, Cahmbers and the PANTHERS in the losing effort. This also was at tight game decided by only 3 points.

  The Dream Team, Trent Green and 14 point lead were too much for the Sharks, Kennison and Dillon. The Dream Team completed the season sweep and moved into the Elite. The Dream Team was led by Pittman, the LIONS and Gates. The Sharks got a great game out of Manning and the SEAHAWKS, but the rest of the team came up small.

  The Body Shop, Brady, Patten, Givens, Tynes and a 2 point lead were too much for the Bull Dogs and the PATRIOTS on Monday night. The Shop avoided the sweep by the Bull Dogs an were led by Rueben, Reuben, Reuben - oh sorry wrong guy. BTW, in answer to the Dogs question last week, the Dream Team beat the Dogs in Week 12 last year. The Dogs were led by Brees and Muhammad (both of whom seem to be on fire).

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Jelly Beans and the Black & Blue Attack. The Black & Blue and a 9 point lead were not enough against the Beans, Blaylock and Vinatieri. The Beans avoided the season sweep by the grace of the tiebreak and took sole possession of first place with the big "W". Could this be the year? The Beans had multiple players scoring in double-digits. The Black & Blue got a big game out Wayne, but a Moss-less Daunte has not performed like a number one pick. Despite the stumble the Attack still has a decent shot at another title. I know there were a lot of tight scoring games, but a match up between the top two teams made this "GOW" before the first TD was scored. The Tie-Break just sealed it.

Dream Team (Norm): "Trent Green and Eddie Kennison, ex-Ram combination, Norm survives in survivor and Dream Team wins."
