Week 3 finds only 1 undefeated team and only one winless team. The rest of the league is split between the 2-1 and 1-2 marks. The waiver wire is still humming along as it usually does at the beginning of the season. About last week's notes, a move is most definitely in my near future, so I will try to stay on top of things as best I can, but there may be some unavoidable delays. A shame, it is looking like this might be a year I'd want to savor. Oh well.

  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 2013 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 Jelly Beans will try to notch that elusive first "W" of the season against the Bishops of Battle. In what is mot likely a battle for a Money spot (at least for the week), the Body Shop will take on the Black & Blue Attack. In one of 2 family affairs, the Dream Team will try to keep their record unblemished against the Good Fellas. The Money Takers and the Young Gun will meet in a battle to get back to 500. The Fightin' Irish will try to hold on to their Money Spot against the Roxborough Wranglers in another family affair.

  Norm (guesstimated) was 4 of 5 last week and his lines (guesstimated) appear above. Spock was 2 of 5 on the week and his locks appear below:

  Four games were over on Sunday and only 1 had some Monday Night Madness.

  The Good Fellas already had the victory in hand with Decker going on Monday night against the Bishops of Battle. Decker managed to lock up the weekly helmet for the Fellas. The Fellas were led by Shady, Decker, Cameron and the CHIEFS. Seems like the Fellas like it under the lights, as they jumped above the Money line. The Bishops were led by Wilson and Megatron in the loss. The Bishops left some points on the bench but not enough that it would have mattered.

  The Body Shop notched their victory over the still winless Jelly Beans. The Shop was led by Brees, Bell and Jones as they climbed up to a virtual tie for second. Only Brady put up 20 points for the Beans. It might be time for the Beans to worry as even their best lineup would have only scored 91 points.

  The Dream Team had their 3rd "W" in their pocket against the Money Takers with Peyton and the BRONCOS in their back pocket on Monday. The Dream Team was led by Manning and Murray as they remained at the top of the standings. The Takers failed to field a 20 point starter and they had very little help on the bench. I remember a decade or 2 ago when 77 points was a good score.

  The Roxborough Wranglers notched their first "W" of the season against the defending Champion Young Gunz. Led by Newton and an MVP performance by Brown, the Wranglers just missed out on the weekly helmet as well. The Gunz were led by Vick, Charles and the BEARS as they are off to a uncharacteristically slow start in their first title defense.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Fightin' Irish and the Black & Blue Attack. The Attack, a 28.6 point lead, Moreno, Thomas and Thomas proved to be too much for the Irish, McFadden, Welker and Prater. The Irish made it close thanks to mince performances by Prater and Welker, but not close enough. The Attack was led by Graham as they climbed into second place. Losing by less than 12 points, you would think there were options on the bench that could have kept the Irish unbeaten. But even the bet Irish lineup would have come up just a bit short.
