In Week 14, the Jelly Beans put a vice-like grip on that elusive title. They have a 2 game lead with 3 to go. There is a real log jam at 8-6. Everybody below .500 is probably out of it. There are Saturday Games this week, so get your early starters in before the start of the first game. I have added another forum, so you can trash talk there.

  If you would still like the Notes mailed to you let me know and I will start mailing them out to you. 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 early season loss to the Dream Team. At this point these teams are mostly playing for pride. The Jelly Beans will try to complete the season sweep of the Good Fellas. The Beans could possibly clinch a title, the Fellas are in the jumbled mix at 8-6. The Black Revenge will try to avenge their early season loss to the Quiet Storm. The Revenge is the only team playing for an elite position in this match-up of former partners. The Bull Dogs will try to complete the season sweep of the Sharks. The Sharks are in that 8-6 logjam, the Dogs are just outside. The Black & Blue Attack will try to complete the season sweep of the Body Shop. The Attack has fallen back with the pack at 8-6, the Shop is ahead of the M. Takers.

  Spock was 3/5 this week and is 31/65 (48%) on the season. He retains top billing. Norm (my estimates) was 2/5 this week and is 34/65 (52%) on the season. His locks (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 Good Fellas split the season series with the M. Takers as easily defeated the Takers. The Good Fellas were led by the PANTHERS and Stover. The Takers mailed it in with only Elam breaking double-digits. The Fellas are in the mix for a Elite position and the Takers are trying to escape last place.

  The Black Revenge split the 2004 Black Bowl by beating the Black & Blue Attack. In a low scoring affair, the Revenge was led by the FALCONS. No other start cleared double digits. The Revenge just had a couple of 9's to the Attack's 6's. That and the 9 point differential at ST was the difference in the game. Both Teams are in the mix at 8-6. The Attack has fallen from Championship contender to, "Need a miracle for Championship - decent shot at the Elite - wow we could drop out of the Elite".

  The Body Shop completed the season sweep of the Sharks as Gonzales, Tynes and a 16 point lead were too much for the Sharks and Kennison on Monday night. The Shop was led by the PATRIOT triple ripple (actually only one PAT WR scored). The Sharks were led by Manning and Portis in the losing effort. The Sharks are in the big pileup at 8-6. The Shop is all but eliminated from a Elite spot.

  The Jelly Beans completed the season sweep of the Dream Team as Trent Green and Mason could not overcome a 35 point deficit on Monday night. The beans running games led the way as they put up 33 points. The Dream Team got a nice game out of Holt in the losing effort. The Beans are sitting pretty at the top of the Standings with a 2 game lead and only 3 to play. The Dream Team is all but done. Well, if not the Dream Team, I am happy it'll probably be the Beans.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Bull Dogs and the Quiet Storm. Drew Bennett ended the suspense in the first half as he put a 15 by 10:00. The Storm was led by Hasselback, Bennet and the RAVENS. The Dogs got a lot of scoring from everyone but the QB position. In fact the Dogs started their only QB that did not start. That might be a case of over-analyzing the match-ups.
