Week 15 finds our first team to be eliminated. The Good Fellas are now playing fir that week 17 prize. The Wranglers are technically alive, but the schedule probably makes it impossible for them to leapfrog 5 teams and gain a money spot. There are 3 teams tied for fourth and hat is where the real battle as the top 3 spots are all but spoken for. We need a plan for the settle-up party. I'd still rather do it after the Super Bowl if possible. I would not be opposed to a return to the Burgandy Lounge.

  The old website (http://swffl.50megs.com) has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive. Send any ideas to me and I will see what I can do. I added the "CBS Guru" draft analysis to my analysis, and will compare both to the results at the end of the year.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Black & Blue Attack will try to keep their ever-slimming money hopes alive by avenging their early season loss tot eh Roxborough Wranglers. The Body Shop will try to keep their tenuous hold on that last money spot by avenging their week 7 loss to the Bishops of Battle. In a family affair, the Dream Team will try complete the season sweep of the Jelly Beans and keep a hold of that top spot. The Young Gunz will try lock up at least that 3rd spot by sweeping the Good Fellas. The Money Takers will try to keep their eyes on the championship by sweeping the Fightin' Irish.

  Spock was 4 of 5 this week making him 38 of 65 (58%). He retains top billing. Norm was 3 of 5 making him 36 of 65 (55%). His lines (my estimates) are below:

  Two games were over on Sunday. the remaining 3 had Monday night madness, sort of.

  In the only contest between money teams, the Money Takers completed the season sweep of the Body Shop. The Takers were led by Hunt and Goodwin as they kept pace with the front-running Dream Team. The Shop was led by Keenum in the loss and the Shop has lost 2 in a row and is in a tie (record-wise) with all those teams just outside the money. An Agholor start would have given the Shop breathing room and kept a 3rd place finish on the table.

  The Jelly Beans completed the season sweep of the Black & Blue Attack on Sunday and still has Julio and Bryant to come on Monday night. The Beans were led by an MVP performance by Gurley and had the Week 15 helmet. After a strong first half it looked like the helmet was in the bac, but the Beans. Julio disappeared in the 2nd half and even Bryant only manages 1 2nd half extra point leaving the Beans less than a point short of the helmet. The Attack was led by Thomas in the loss (which is their 5th in a row). Despite a 50 point margin of defeat, the Attack best lineup would have stopped that nasty losing streak.

  The Bishops of Battle and a 47.6 point lead proved to be just a touch too much for the Good Fellas, Matty Ice, Evans and Hooper on Monday night. The Bishops were able to avenge their Week 6 loss to the Fellas in large part due to the performances of Carr and Bell. The Fellas were led by Ingram and Evans in the loss. A Manning or Sheppard start would have stopped the Fellas losing streak from reaching 5 and kept their hopes of escaping the basement realistic.

  The Young Gunz and Freeman overcame a 15.9 pt. lead against the Wranglers on Monday night. OK, I took until the 4th quarter, but after taking the lead, Freeman put some frosting on the cake with a big TD run. Freeman was the main reason the Gunz avenged their early loss to the Wranglers and all but locked up at least 3rd place. The Wranglers were led by Cam and Shady in the loss.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Dream Team and Fightin' Irish. The Dream Team and a 14.7 pt. lead barely held off the Irish and Howard on Monday night. Going into Sunday night the Dream Team had a comfortable lead with Lynch vs. Crabtree and Howard. Lynch twice carried the ball to the 2 (once on a ling run) and bot time Crabtree followed with a 2 yd. TD reception. If either of those TDs go Lynch's way Monday is no sweat. Even going into Monday night I figured if we kept Howard out of the end zone, we would be OK and he goes and scores a 30 yarder on his first catch in the first quarter, unfortunately for the Irish he was injured on the play and never returned. They do not ask how you win them; they just ask you how many you won. The Dream Team was led by McCaffrey, Hill and the Gronk. The Irish were led by Gordon, Crabtree and Matthews in the loss. The Irish could have mad the Takers happy with a LIONS start.
