Week #7 proved to be an exciting and intriguing one as well. Congratulations go out to the Brothers Myers as Mike of the Maulers and Jeff of the Titans clinched their Divisions with wins. Congratulations are on hold for Al and Russ as the Aldoggies only need a top 6, a win or a Death loss in the last two weeks to clinch the A Division. However, the Wildcard positions are in complete disarray with even the perpetual pansy Contributors mathematically alive. Week #8 could dash the hopes of some teams and give other teams a chance for better seeding so they do not have to go up against the Mighty Titans until the championship game. Here is a recap of the games for Week # 7.
 
REDHAWKS  53  @  MAULERS  57

Once again, congratulations go out to Mike as his Maulers squeaked by the slumping Redhawks on his way to clinching the B Division. One still has to wonder what could have been if the draft had been different for the Redhawks. Number 1 pick of the draft could only muster 2 points this week. Consensus number 1 pick, Marshall QB Leftwich, got 34 points for the Pride and that was all in the first half! The Maulers were led by the very consistent scoring Suggs, RB Virginia Tech, who got 22. Mike has been scoring just enough to win as he had 2 players that did not score. He needs to find a way to get more from his players as he is looking to get a bye in the first round of the playoffs and avoid playing the Titans. The Redhawks got most of their scoring from Washington QB'S with 26. This is a great number, but the 34 from Marshall QB'S would have been enough to gain a victory. The Redhawks found out that their highly touted defense may have been exploited this past weekend as the Miami defense netted a zero.

DEATH  82  @  COWS  77 

The Death kept their sights on a division title alive by beating the hard luck Cows in the best match of the weekend. Cows RB Brown of Colorado lit up the scoreboard early and often as he posted 32. Unfortunately for Tom and the Steaks, Death WR Williams of Washington really lit it up with 37. Tom, I the Commish and Maze, can feel your pain as our 3 teams are the only ones that playing against opponents that are averaging more than 80 points per game. The opponents of the Cows are averaging 88.4 per game. The Death tried to give this one away as their Auburn defense got a negative 2 points. After this output, Coach Snyder got himself a new defense. Check the waiver wire. The Cows could have pulled off an upset if their own defense or kicker would have performed at all. The NC State kicker and the Florida defense only got him 4 points combined.

DRAGONFARTS  56  @  PRIDE  82

It looked like revenge from the start. Former Supervisor Rusch should have signed those easy hours for Rose and Brown before he retired. Of course, the Redhawks and the Contributors are partially at fault in this game. They both passed on Marshall QB'S in the first round and let the Pride get them. They got 34 from this first pick while the two picked in front of Marshall QB'S got a total of 2 points this week. All was not going perfect for the Pride as their defense got them a negative 1 point and a ticket to the waiver wire! RB McGahee of Miami scored a respectable 16. The 2 teams also had trouble confirming scores as Rose was having trouble getting information to come up that Rusch was sending. This forced Harry to put down his rum and take charge for a while as this was the first week that I had heard from Harry! 

ALDOGGIES  100  @  ELEPHANTS  64

Russ has the blessings of co-owner Al to run this team as he sees fit. Al, let Russ keep doing this! The Aldoggies are rolling and are just as hot as the Titans. They had 26 from Louisville kicker and RB Miller on Thursday before the Elephants had even come up with a line up! It went downhill from there as RB Clarett from Ohio State put in 25 on the first game played Saturday morning. It was over at that point! But the beloved, almost extinct Elephants, kept plugging away. Watts, WR of Marshall had 21 points in the first half, but due to the Marshall total dominance of the University of Buffalo, he did not play in the second half. I wish that Steve Spurrier's philosophy of running up the score would have rubbed off on the Marshall coach! The Aldoggies managed to get this 100 points while having a player, WR Darling of Washington State, get a zero. The rest of the teams better watch out for this extremely hot Aldoggie team!

contributors (pansies) 39  @  STINGRAYS  90

The pansy of the week honors go yet again to the contributors. The do not deserve to be capitalized as I write about them. A ZERO from their quarterback and a negative 1 from their defense kept them with this pansy honor. I, the Commish, am trying to light a fire under the management of the contributors. I am trying to give them locker room material to post so that their players will score! I don't know if Head Coach McSwain has fired Assistant Coach Uhl as of press time. John, you better call your travel agent and make it to the draft next year! The RB combo of Griffin from Oklahoma and McClendon of NC State lit up the board for 26 and 21 respectively. This was more than enough for Stingray owner Merv Myers. This is the time of year that the Stingrays start rolling and this was a good opponent to keep it rolling on! A word to the Brothers Myers, Honor thy Father! He usually gets the best of both of you!

COSSACKS  56  @  TITANS  99

The only bright spot for the drunken vodka drinkers was the 59 yard field goal from their Oregon kicker. This earned the Ruskies sole possession of the Longest Field Goal side pot! Coach Myers even sits the second highest rated QB, NC State, to use the Air Force QB in this game. Maybe it was to have military assistance in case the boys of the Ukraine decided to get too rowdy. They scored 26 and his other military influence, Texas A&M defense scored 21. Congratulations go out to Jeff as his Titans are now 7-0 with 7 top 6 finishes. I don't recall ever seeing a team run the board with maximum points attained in the division. Whatever situation seems to arise for Jeff, he has pulled the right strings all season long. He even sat a wide receiver that would have beaten the contributors alone. WR Bragg of UCLA sat on Jeff's bench with 44 points! I think this is the first mistake that Jeff has made this year! He could have had another side pot had he played Bragg. Any other owner that would have sat 44 points from one player would have lost. The Titans still got 99 points and the win!

    Week # 8 will eliminate the pretenders and solidify the contenders! It is the second to last week of the season with week # 9 spent playing inside the divisions. Can the Elephants travel on to the reservation and knock off the slumping Redhawks in a must win for both teams? Will the Death keep division title hopes alive with fingers crossed or will the Pride take a major step towards the playoffs with the recent return of Harry's involvement of the team? Can the Cows catch a break and hope that the Dragonfarts don't score over 80 or will the the 'farts show that Driver has no luck this year and score over a 100? Can B Division winners, the Maulers, show that they are contenders, or will the Aldoggies simply show that they are the bigger dog and clinch the A division? Can the Stingrays of Palm Springs travel to the ice cold tundra of the Ukraine and march into the playoffs or will the Smirnoff drinkers load them up with drinks in a pre game toast and steal a must needed victory? Can the contributors..... oh forget it!  Can the Titans set a record for the largest margin of victory when they travel to the empty stadium of the contributors? All of these questions will be answered in a few short days. Good luck to all!
