Week 12 finds the Notes back to their normal format. Sorry about last week's abbreviated version. One note, because the NFL has decided to broadcast a bunch of games on Thursday we will have issues with transactions after the Thursday game. Please post transactions in the bulletin board after the beginning of the Thursday games. In the Casey Survival Pool, both members of the Dream Team were eliminated on the next to last elimination week. There are 5 people left and only Bone remains from the SWFFL.

  The printed notes have some information than isn't on any of the web versions. If you do not have word, I can send PDF versions of the Notes or you can download wordviewer from Microsoft.com. The league's url is http://swffl.50megs.com .

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Secane Tsunami won a squeaker against the Jail Birds back in Week 4. They need to complete the sweep to keep a Elite Spot. In what will be the "Game of the Week", The 2nd place Quiet Storm will try to bring the first place Black & Blue Attack back to the pack by avenging their early season loss. In a family affair that deals more with who might finish in the cellar than in the Elite, the Good Fellas will try to sweep the Jelly Beans. The Dream Team will need to complete their sweep of the Black Revenge to keep their Title hopes alive. The M. Takers need to complete the season sweep of the Body Shop for a shot jump back up in the Elite. The Shop is a very hot team right now winning 4 of their last 5.

  Spock was 2/5 making him 26/50 (52%) on the year and he retains top billing. Norm (my estimates) was 2/5 making him 25/50 (52%) on the year and his lines (my estimates) appear below:

  Only one game was decided on Sunday, the rest were still up in the air.

  The Secane Tsunami completed the season sweep of the Good Fellas. The Tusnami were led by T.O and L.J. The Good Fellas were led by Terry Glenn. The loss was the Fellas fifth in a row and they are now firmly buried in the cellar. The 'W' snapped a 3 game losing streak by the Tsunami and kept them in the Elite.

  The Black & Blue Attack, Alexander and a 9 point lead were too much for the Jail Birds and Driver. The Black & Blue Attack were led by Boldin, Gates and Alexander as they swept the season series with the Jail Birds. Just when it looked like the Attack might be in trouble with the loss of McNabb, Shaun Alexnder jumps off the injured list and proves why he should have been a first round pick. We will chalk up the fact that the Seahawks kept throwing the ball whenever they got near the goal line to the lingering effects of the dreaded "Madden" curse.

  The Body Shop and a 29 point lead were too much for the Quiet Storm, Branch and the SEAHAWKS. The Shop avenged their early season loss to the Storm on the strength of Adai and Romo. The Shop's recent winning ways have kept their Elite hopes alive. The Storm is still firmly entrenched in 2nd place, but they'd rather there upcoming game with the Black & Blue was for first place. The Storm will have to settle for trying to close the gap a bit. The Storm was led by Palmer, Westbrook and all-world Tomlinson who if restricted to only 2 rushing TDs will surely add a receiving one or event the occasional passing TD.

  The Dream Team, Favre, Green and a 10 point lead were too much for the M. Takers, Josh Brown and Darrel Jackson on Monday night. In a rather low scoring game the Dream Team was led by Andre Johnson. The Takers failed to have any player score more than 20 points as they lost the season series to the Dream Team. Both teams are at 7-5 and still very much in the hunt for a Elite spot.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Black Revenge and the Jelly Beans. Even though both teams were only 4-7 going in to the week, they put on a barn-burner. The Beans carried a 25 point lead into Monday Night against the Revenge and Hassleback. It looked bad for the Revenge when the game started in the middle of a blizzard and Hassleback was throwing interceptions left and right. The second half the weather cleared a bit and the Revenge was able to avenge their early season loss to the Beans. The Revenge was led by Hassleback, Gore and Coles. The Beans were led by Jackson, Fitzgerald and Houshmandzadeh.
