TheDebateTeam 111.39 (4-0, 444.54), Spiraling Colby 111.03 (3-1, 433.68) – Fred Creed held off a furious rally by Steve Balboa to take the likely preview of the championship game by the closest margin of the year. The Debaters used 7 players in double-digits, led by Petyon Manning’s 21.69 to overcome both the game-time deactivation of Brian Westbrook and the high-scorer of the week, Donovan McNabb (36.46). Balboa refused coherent comment after the game, instead yelling, “Why didn’t I play Barlow?”
Vast Conspirator 111.83 (2-2, 351.93), No Bid Contracts 86.56 (1-3, 341.78) – The Conspirators had 6 players go into double-digits, led by Santana Moss’ 31.80, to burn the Contracts, who were led by Marc Bulger’s 32.96.
City Workers 69.61 (2-2, 336.49), Warriors 55.39 (2-2, 329.19) – Three Warriors didn’t come out to play thanks to byes, and still the Workers needed almost every point they could get. Michael Vick was too efficient against Arizona, netting 14.41 for the Workers, while the Johnson Boys gamely tried to overcome the disadvantage (Brad at 15.39, Rudi at 15.10).
Highway Runners 89.55 (1-3, 300.59), Caledonia Bloggers 70.21 (1-3, 279.38) – Despite still not activating a kicker (Robbie Gould is on the roster), and having Joey Galloway on the bye beach, the Runners got their first win of the season by running over the Bloggers, who were without the services of Ahman Green thanks to a game-time scratch. Kevin Jones led the way for the Bloggers with 21.70, and Clinton Portis followed up with a 20.00. Tom Brady put up a 19.61 in a losing cause for the Bloggers.
Killer Boars 81.22 (2-2, 348.39), Right Wing Wackos 48.51 (1-3, 336.67) – The Boars had a feast at the fading Wackos’ expense, as Thomas Jones had 22.70. Nate Kaeding and Baltimore’s defense led the Wackos with 9.00 apiece.
Sanders’ Sabers 112.29 (4-0, 398.27), teach3 85.70 (1-3, 355.79) – The long knives were out, as Atlanta’s defense (25.00), Rex Grossman (21.09) and Steven Jackson (20.60) all went over 20 points for the Sabers. Larry Johnson had 26.20 for the Teachers, while Cininnati’s defense (-2.00) “contributed” the second negative score of the year to the losing cause.
Preview of the Spiraling Colby’s Week 5 matchup – The Dynamic Trio of McNabb, Tomlinson and Parker will be back together for the Colby for the first time since the byes started. The Conspirators, who are looking to get above .500 for the first time this year, counter with Chad Pennington, Santana Moss, a freshly-healthy Steve Smith, and WR/TE rookie sensation Marques Colston.
Sounds a bit like 2 straight losses for the Colby’s
Not a chance. Not even David Stern could get the Conspirators a win.
