Week 12 finds 3 teams breaking away from the 6-6 pack. With only 5 games left those in the 6-6 pack better not let those 3 get away. For those below the 6-6 pack, it might be time to make plans for a run at the week 17 consolation prize.

  Don't forget to keep an eye on the old web site (http://swffl.50megs.com). It has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive materials there, like the complete 2009 Draft analysis, as I develop them. Anybody with ideas, send them to me and I will see what I can do.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Black & Blue will try to avenge their early season loss to the Dream Team and keep pace with the rest of the pack at the top of the standings. The Tsunami Brothers will try to keep their sole possession of first place by completing the season sweep of the M. Takers. The Black Revenge will try to complete the season sweep of the Jelly Beans in a battle of teams in a tie for the last Elite spot. The Good Fellas will try to keep pace with the top teams by repeating their victory over the Quiet Storm in week 4. The Young Gunz will try to complete their season sweep of the Body Shop in another battle of teams in that 4th place tie at 6-6.

  Spock was 3 of 5, making him 19 of 35 (54%) on the year. He retains top billing. Norm was 1 of 5, making him 16 of 35 (46%) on the year. His lines appear below:

  No games were over on Sunday, three were more or less over. The other 2 had some serious Monday Night Madness!!

  The Black & Blue Attack completed the season sweep of the Black Revenge and kept up with the lead pack. The Attack was led by Rodgers, Driver and Clark as they wrapped up the second Back Bowl. The loss was the Revenge's 4th in a row and they have slipped from first place to a very tenuous hold on the final Elite spot. Schaub led the Revenge in the loss.

  The Good Fellas completed the season sweep against the Jelly Beans. The Fellas were led by Johnson and Gates as they notched their 4th helmet of the year and fifth win in a row. The Beans were led by Charles and Maroney. Despite the loss, the Beans are still in a tie for that final Elite spot.

  The Quiet Storm and a 43.6 point lead were too much for the Young Gunz and Randy Moss on Monday night. The Storm was led by Holmes as they completed the season sweep. The Young Gunz failed to field a 20 point starter. It would have taken a lot of changes, but their best lineup would have stopped them from losing their 4th loss in a row.

  The Body Shop avenged their early season loss to the M. Takers as Brady and Gostkowski could not overcome a 39 point lead. The Shop was led by Romo and Miles as they joined that 4th place tie. The Takers failed to field a 20 point starter. A Favre start would have kept the Takers from losing 2 in a row. Favre's reward - the Takers trade him.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Tsunami Brothers and the Dream Team. Manning, Forsett and Owens led the Brothers to their 4th win in a row. The season sweep of the Dream Team left the Tsunami Brothers in sole possession of first place. The Dream Team was led by Brees and Colston. In fact the Dream Team actually took the lead in the 4th quarter on Monday night. Brady interception on his last pass put the Brothers ahead. A sack of some guy named Hurley on the last play extended the Brothers lead to 1.3 points. Sportsline took 0.7 points away from Steve Smith (he even hurts us when his team is done for the week) which left the final tally at 134-132. Several moves could have made a difference in the results. Ok so there were 2 other teams that could have beat me this week. I am just tire if losing by a couple of points or losing because my opponent was one of the few (or only) teams that would beat me that week. This has truly been a frustrating year. Anyway, Happy Birthday Bone.
