In Week 13, The Black & Blue Attack slipped a bit back to the rest of us and the biggest question in the league is who is hotter the Quiet Storm or the Body Shop. Week 14's lineup deadline is the Trade deadline!! In the Casey Survival Pool, there are only 4 people left and only Bone remains from the SWFFL. Good luck in the final week Bone!!

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Secane Tsunami will try to avenge their early season loss against the red-hot combo of the Body Shop, Romo and whoever that girl is in his logo. In a battle of Elite teams the Black & Blue Attack will try to complete the season sweep of the Dream Team. The Quiet Storm will try to avenge their early season loss to their Jelly Beans and try to keep pace with the rest of the Elite Teams. The Good Fellas will try to complete the season sweep of the Black Revenge and maybe climb out of the basement. The M. Takers will try to keep their Elite hopes alive by repeating their early season victory over the Jail Birds.

  Spock was 4/5 making him 30/55 (55%) on the year and he retains top billing. Norm (my estimates) was 3/5 making him 29/55 (53%) on the year and his lines (my estimates) appear below:

  Two games were decided on Sunday, one was more or less over and the other 2 were still up in the air.

  The Body Shop avenged their early season loss to the M. Takers by capturing their 2nd helmet in a row. The Shop has won 4 of the last 5 and they are on a roll. The only question is; did the Shop start the roll too late? The Shop was led by the BEARS, Mason and Bryant. Manning led the Takers in the losing effort. The Takers only had one coaching mistake, but Moss over Galloway would have given the Takers the "W".

  The Dream Team completed the season sweep of the Black Revenge. Tory Holt was the only starter from either team to clear the 20 point barrier as this game was not exactly a point fest. The Revenge left a lot of points on the bench, but none of the moves would be enough to change the outcome. The Dream Team is still in third place, hoping one or both of the top teams hit a quick losing streak.

  The Jelly Beans, Delhome, EAGLES and a 2 point lead were too much for the GoodFellas and Steve Smith. Delhome and Houshmandzadeh helped the Jelly Breans avenge their early season loss to the Good Fellas. Eli was the only Fella's starter to clear 20 points. The Fellas could have completed the season sweep by making several changes in their lineup, of course that would have meant starting the CHIEFS double-bubble.

  The Secane Tsunami completed the season sweep of the Jail Birds. This would have been the Game of the Week except that I had already named the Game of the Week in the Pre-game Reviews. Interestingly, the Tsunami won both games by less than a total of 3 points. This neighborhood rivalry was as close as a 2-0 series can get. Bulger and Cotchery led the Tsunami. Harrison led the Jail Birds in defeat. Stallworth or Washington over Driver or Dunn would have given the Jail Birds the split and the ability to show their faces in Secane without shame.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Quiet Storm and the Black & Blue Attack. I gave this game the "GOW" honors because it was 1 vs. 2 (sort of an early mini-superbowl). The game like many Superbowls did not live up to the pre-game hype. The Quiet Storm avenged their early season loss to the Black & Blue Attack and climbed one game closer to the Title. The Storm was led by LT the TD machine. Any doubt about who is the number one pick next year, has been erased by a TD scoring streak that is unprecedented. The Black & Blue failed to have a starter break 20 points as they clearly did not show up with their "A" game. Their starters had trouble scoring points but they left a boat load of points on the bench. Bush, Norwood and Gates all cleared 20 points. Add in a Bruce start and the Attack might have wrapped up the title.
