The CommishCOMMISH'S CORNER
Here are the Week #5 results:
Stingrays
96 Maulers 67
The Mighty Merv now stands alone as the only unbeaten team in the league. The
Stingrays turned the dogs loose and the Maulers could only sit back be humbled
by the Sr. Myers. There was much trash talking before and after the game, as the
Stingrays flaunted the fact that they didn't even need to start Roy Williams and
his 96 yard TD catch. Coach Merv had this to say, "It was ass kickin' time
as advertised." A dejected Coach Mike is waiting for the rematch possibly
in the championship game, which he noted that Stingrays stud QB Clemson will be
off. The Maulers are down, but certainly not out. They got right back in the
thick of things by pulling off a trade for stud RB McAllister. The match lived
up to the hype, and the teacher beat down the student with no mercy.
Redhawks 91
Cows 40
The Hawks put up an impressive 91 on the scoreboard against the sickly Cows. The
Hawks remain in wildcard contention with the win and top 6 finish. Owner Carey
finally pulls the trigger on the long awaited trade of one of the Hawks 2 solid
QB's, dealing with the still winless Death Squad for the much need RB depth. The
Hawks continue to ride a hot FSU QB and get solid production from Josh Scobey.
It remains to be seen what Scobey's role will be once All-American David Allen
returns to action in the next week or so. The Hawks can't afford a let down from
here on out. The Cows owner Tom summed up this weekends action best, "time
to put the Cows out to pasture -- we suck." There is still hope of a wild
card spot for the Cows, and they make a trade with division foe Maulers trying
to plug some holes in the rapidly sinking ship.
Elephants
44 Death 20
The Elephants were to big and powerful for the still winless Death Sqaud. The
Elephants will take the win despite a lack of scoring, but when you play the
lame Death team, you don't need to score much to get the win. The Elephants now
have 2 wins, but have yet to post a top 6 finish. Unless Owner Brady can find a
way to get some serious points on the board, the Elephants post season hopes are
minimal at best. The Death Squad is back into the 20 point range again, but
pulls off the trade with the Hawks, and is looking to revamp the entire roster at
this point. Uh....to little to late??? I think so!
Pride 69
Q-Dogs 54
The Pride take advantage of some serious disagreements in the Q-Dogs ownership
to post the solid win and remain only a Stingrays loss from being in contention
for the A Division title. The Pride are the top wildcard team and show no signs
of letting up. K-State's QB continues to lead the way with another solid
performance, and the Pride will not settle for anything less than knocking off
the Stingrays, as tough as that task may be. The Q-Dogs owners Al/Russell had
some serious difference of opinions in who to start this week. When the dust
settled, Russell got his way......quote by Russell, "I'll be outta town so
it's all up to you, my assistant coach!! I'm STILL in charge, but I need my
right-hand man down on the field to bark out my order's for me!!! Al was praying
he could say I told you so, but unfortunately Russell did make the right call
with Savage for Mitchell. Either way, they still suffer the loss. Lets see this
week who steps up as the REAL brains behind the Q-Dogs.........hmmm a new Eminem
song..."will the real Q-Dogs owner...please stand up........please stand
up"
Christians
55 Cossacks 51
The blind Christians must have got a little help from above and regained their
sight, just in time to stick it to the dreaded Cossacks. Owner Rusch put it
appropriately, "The important thing is beating Maze!" Now if the
Christians can keep that attitude against the rest of the league, they may
actually have a chance at gaining a wild card spot, and hell (sorry for the foul
mouth, Christian fans) they might even prevent a Myers family seep of the
divisions. A nice win for the Christians, who still hold onto the high weekly
score sidepot. Owner Maze is left scratching his head wondering why every team
seems to wake up against his Cossacks squad. He wanted to tell the Christians to
go blow someone as he did to the Contributors last week, but that wouldn't be
right, would it? The Cossacks to put up a impressive 96 yard TD pass to take the
sidepot, that one will be very tough to beat.
Titans 84
Contributors 50
The "other" Myers owned team continues to impress. They put a solid
win over the Boilermakers (aka Contributors) and also put up a 80 yard TD catch,
which thanks to Dad's kindness (leaving Williams on the bench) is now the new
league high this year. The Titans now give the Myers a firm grasp on the
division lead in all 3 divisions. Coach Jeff would like to send out his best
wishes to injured Penn St player Adam Taliaferro, and thanks the Nittany Lions
for their inspired play against the Contributors. Owner McSwain gets his first
disappointing performance from his gang of Boilermakers. The loss of RB Foster
could be key if Drew and the boyz from Indiana put up another disappointing
performance this year, but the Contributors still sit in solid position for a
wildcard spot if they can get back on track.
Special Weekly Awards:
Coaching Blunder of the Week: To the Mighty Merv for removing Roy Williams from the starting line-up and missing out on his 96 yard catch. Sorry to have to put a blemish on the Stingrays perfect season, but unfortunately their wasn't any other major blunders this week! Blame it on the lack of quality college football injury reports I guess!
MVP of the Week: Clemson QB, Stingrays They posted a league high 36 points, out scoring the entire Death Squads line-up.
Boxscore Blunder of the Week: Christians/Cossacks The scores were again pretty good this week, but these two teams couldn't agree on anything. And when they "finally" did, it still wasn't right!
Quote of the
Week: Cows Owner Driver had this to say, "that was
one serious butt-whoopin' -- we suck." Hey Tom, you wanna act as the
Death Squads team spokesman?????? You have the post game speech down solid, just
keep repeating it each and every weekend.

COMMISH'S LOCK
OF THE WEEK:
SINCE I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH WITH THE LOCK OF THE WEEK,
IT IS TIME FOR A LITTLE REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY......
TAKE THE TITANS, AND GIVE THE 45
That is all
for now. Look for the same regular report here each week during the rest of the
season. A SPECIAL thanks to all those who have got their boxscores in on time and also
have taken the time to confirm the scores with their opponent. Good luck to all
in Week #6, it is another Division Games weekend!
