Week 8

Week 8 was amazing. Several close games. The Bus Drivers came from behind against the heavily favored The Butchers to snag a win. And the most amazing thing to happen: Dead Rabbits see an end to the dream of a perfect season in a trap game. Sweetpea's Minions managed to defeat Dead Rabbits this week and improve to 3-5. Wolfens held off Da Ditkas and Argonauts fell to Fighting Marmots who were in Paragon beatdown mode. It was a slaughter as Fighting Marmots scored 167.89 points. This replaces the original highest score of 163.00 recorded by Dead Rabbits. You will see a listing of records after the regular season posted on League-o-sphere (And just to ask: How did Raiders beat Pittsburgh? No, really.)
Shameful loss, no one should lose to the Raiders.
Now, on to the scores of the week:
GridIrony: 120.80
Skoal Bandits: 106.59

Fighting Marmots: 167.89
*****Five star beatdown*****
Argonauts: 96.72

Wolfens: 128.43
Da Ditkas: 116.06

SweetPea's Minions: 90.73
Dead Rabbits: 86.19

The Bus Drivers: 94.42
The Butchers: 91.71

Now lets look at the best players for week 8:
QB: Peyton Manning 26.85-GridIrony

WR: Reggie Wayne 36.90-Wolfens. (!)

RB: Larry Johnson 35.05-Fighting Marmots (!)

TE: Colston 26.15-Wolfens

K: Gould 12.00-Skoal Bandits

D: Shawne Merriman 21.75-Dead Rabbits *(Note: The highest scoring Defensive player this week is Merriman. Dead Rabbits had Merriman benched due to his drug suspension. But Merriman, as you can see, played. He played very hard.)
*

Also the Panthers did so badly that John Fox apologized to all Panther fans that purchased tickets and came to the Dallas beats the daylights out of The Panthers game...I mean Dallas versus Panthers. It was a home game and Panthers played a horrific 4th quarter.

Tony Romo got his first start as Dallas QB and ended it with the smackdown of Carolina Panthers. Drew Bledsoe is now the back-up and isn't happy with it either. His NFL career might just be over.
Greenbay Packers win 2 in a row...
Colts and Bears stay perfect. The Broncos Vs. Colts, to me, was one of the best games I have seen in a long time. Colts: 34
Broncos: 31
End Week 8






Week 7

Week 7 was something to behold. A close game between GridIrony and The Butchers. It marked the first time that Skoal Bandits scored under 100 points in any week. To bad Bandits had that very off week against the undefeated team Dead Rabbits.
Also, I have been sick, I am really late updating this page. Sorry. But I did have to go to the ememgency room and take painkillers too. I am fine. Now. So I had to reconstruct week 7. So it won't be near as interesting as most of the posts. So with no FX at all...

Dead Rabbits: 92.95
Skoal Bandits: 74.98

GridIrony: 143.99
The Butchers: 139.02

Fighting Marmots: 127.50
Wolfens: 105.03

The Bus Drivers: 140.04
Argonauts: 123.72

Da Ditkas: 133.55
Sweetpea's Minions: 104.96
Now for the best players of week 7:
QB: Peyton Manning 30.79-GridIrony
WR: Hines Ward 32.55-GridIrony
RB: Westbrook 24.45-Da Ditkas

End week 7

Week 6

The Skoal Bandits swore to defeat Da Ditkas but the team could not get it done. Da Ditkas won, coming from behind on Monday night, and have now moved back into the playoff hunt. Da Ditkas have gotten out of the cellar. GridIrony did not think they could do it...but Da Ditkas did.

Now for the week 6 scores:
The Bus Drivers: 118.19
GridIrony: 113.76

Fighting Marmots: 120.83
Sweetpea's MInions: 77.06

Skoal Bandits: 128.28

Dead Rabbits: 126.97
The Butchers: 116.50

Argonauts: 138.68
Wolfens: 107.20

The league also looks like this: Dead Rabbits: 6 Wins and Zero losses
Wolfens: 4-2
Skoal bandits: 3-3
Fighting Marmots: 3-3
The Butchers: 3-3
Da Ditkas: 3-3
GridIrony: 2-4
Bus Drivers: 2-4
Argonauts: 2-4

Best players this week:
QB: Hasslebeck 20.46 of Argonauts

TE: Shockey 20.75 of Wolfens

K: J. Brown 15.00 of The Butchers

D: J. Hall 23.25 of Skoal Bandits

Well that does it for League-o-sphere this week. Next week I'll have smacktalk again and some news around the league too. Sorry but this week has been rather unusual and I just now am able to fit in the time to post this week. (*Skoal Bandits guarantees a win against undefeated Dead Rabbits week 7...Stay tuned.*) PS: Yes LT+Westbrook= wins...the jury is in.
End Week 6.

Week 5

Welcome to week 5. Lets start with the scores:
Wolfens: 116.77
The Bus Drivers: 83.58

Argonauts: 89.95
Sweetpea's Minions: 69.00

Da Ditkas: 91.67
The Butchers: 62.98

Skoal Bandits: 108.59
Fighting Marmots: 97.30

Dead Rabbits: 114.90
GridIrony: 104.12

Best Players: ****Lito Sheppard will not officially be on The Butchers team till week 6 but this is what this guy did: Lito Sheppard: 7 solo tackles. 2 interceptions. 1TD. Pass deflections 7.
QB: McNabb of The Bus Drivers.
WR: Lee Evans 20.45 of The Bus Drivers.
RB: Bush 21.30 of The Dead Rabbits.
TE: Gates 11.75 of Argonauts.
K: Gould 19.75 of Skoal Bandits.
D: W. Harris 25.50 of Wolfens ****See Lito above.

Smacktalk: The Bus Drivers: "Don't take this ass whippin personally."
GridIrony:
"The wheels on the bus go round & round, round & round...but go no damned place."

Skoal Bandits--- This smacktalk was broadcast on our message board and was addressed to the Shufords. This would be Argonauts, Da Ditkas and fighting Marmots...all 3 are brothers. The smacktalk:
"U know what is pissing me off?? Ur excuses...I'm sure you will have alot of them after I give you the beating of your life this weekend...Westbrook or not, you are no match for my coaching skills.. I've got Skillz that killz. The Shuford Slayer."
The post was longer and detailed how Skoal Bandits would beat them all. Only Da Ditkas stands in his way. If Skoal Bandits win week 6 he will have defeated Argonauts, Fighting Marmots and Da Ditkas, all 3 Shufords.

Look for worst fantasy players week 6. Also this week no week 5.9 will be posted unless something exciting or interesting happens



My questions: Yes, Argonauts did rally and get a win week 5.
Does LT+Westbrook= wins, simples as that. (Jury is still out on that one.)
And will Agronauts ever change their Smacktalk. (Have not yet.)

Standings:
The Dead Rabbits
Wolfens
Skoal Bandits
The Butchers
GridIrony
Fighting Marmots
Da Ditkas
Sweetpea's Minions
The Bus Drivers
Argonauts
End Week 5.

Week 4.9

Originally a Post entitled 4.2 was supposed to be put up. Instead that is replaced by 4.9
Welcome to League-o-sphere. This week GridIrony and Da Ditkas faced off, not on the field, but on the message boards of Yahoo! and it was not pretty. Da Ditkas has opposing views to GridIrony and Da Ditkas swears they will break out of the cellar this week. GridIrony says:
"Sell it, don't tell it."
Now on to the best of Week 4 players: QB: McNabb 25.11 of The Bus Drivers.
WR: Santana Moss 28.90 of The Butchers.
RB: Larry Johnson 23.10 of Fighting Marmots.
TE: Colston 17.60 of Wolfens.
K: Wilkins 17.00 of Dead Rabbits.
D: Jason Taylor 21.50 of Da Ditkas.

Don't let your babies grow up to kick Cowboys. Not if they are in the NFL especially. Albert Haynesworth was suspended for 5 games for stomping Andre Gurode. Haynesworth stomped a helmet-less Gurode and gashed open his forehead. This is the longest suspension for an on-field violation. Charles Martin, Packers received a 2 game suspension in 1986. Kenoy Kennedy, Broncos received a 1 game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet. And Rodney Harrison, Chargers was suspended a game for striking Jerry Rice with a helmet.
Also Kurt Warner has been benched and Leinart will have the QB position. Leinart will probably make it or break it in as few as 3 games.
It won't be long now. Week 5 is nearly here. I'll post the points for the week and the standings too in Week 5, look for it Wednesday/Thursday.
Week 4 versus:
GridIrony: 142.14
Da Ditkas: 77.23

Fighting Marmots: 132.30
The Butchers: 97.98

Dead Rabbits: 94.35
The Bus Drivers: 75.91

Skoal Bandits: 120.79
Argonauts: 76.61

Wolfens: 110.34
Sweetpea's Minions: 79.80

Week 4

This week League-o-sphere will start off with smacktalk.

Da Ditkas: "Just stay out of my way or you'll pay, listen to what I say."
The Butchers responded: "I am going to beat the rhyme out of you, stupid football poet."
In other smack talk Dead Rabbits taunted The Bus Drivers and Marmots sent a message to Skoal Bandits. Wolfens issued a challenge to The Bus Drivers.
Dead Rabbits: "Maybe if The Bus Drivers had a real team, they would've won......"
Fighting Marmots: "Time to chew up some Skoal and spit it out!"
Wolfens: "Think you can drive yourself to victory this week?"
And finally Argonauts:
"Jason & Co won the regular season last year. This time, it's for the whole shabang."

Now for the standings:
1. Dead Rabbits------ 4-0 442.14 Moves: 10
2. Wolfens----------- 3-1 456.20 Moves: 17 (QB psychosis)
3. The Butchers----- 3-1 442.72 Moves: 12
4. GridIrony--------- 2-2 494.09 Moves: 16
5. Skoal Bandits------2-2 470.94 Moves: 11
6. Fighting Marmots-- 2-2 450.66 Moves: 14
7. Sweetpea's Min.----2-2 361.08 Moves: 02
8. The Bus Drivers--- 1-3 388.86 Moves: 15
9. Da Ditkas----------1-3 381.80 Moves: 14
10. Argonauts-------- 0-4 339.10 Moves: 00

In Week 4.2 the points for this week will be listed along with the best players for week 4.

The addition of the Moves and the win/loss and the total fantasy points serve as a good show of where the league is. I may post Moves again week 8 but not before then.
Only one team in the history of League-o-sphere has had 5 losses and zero wins as of week 5 and made it to the playoffs. The team was Argonauts. GridIrony defeated them in the second round of the playoffs last year. Three Questions: Will Argonauts be able to rally? Will Argonauts ever change their smacktalk? Does LT+Westbrook really equal wins, simple as that?
End Week 4.

Week 3.9

Week 4 is now. The standings are:

1. Dead Rabbits
2. The Butchers
3. Wolfens
4. Sweetpea's Minions
5. GridIrony
6. Skoal Bandits
7. Fighting Marmots
8. The Bus Drivers
9. Da Ditkas
10. Argonauts

The only bit of smacktalk this week was from Dead Rabbits and The Bus drivers.
Dead Rabbits: Next!!!!!!
The Bus Drivers: I'm next Biatch!
As the rivalry between them heats up The Bus Drivers, being an expansion team, have a lot to prove against the unbeaten Dead Rabbits.

Around the league: 402 Faver is the second player in NFL history to throw at least 400 TD's.
Mark Brunell: Washington Redskins' Brunell set the NFL mark for consecutive completions in a game: 22. Chris Simms had his spleen removed. Vick and Dunn, the third runningback/Quarterback duo in NFL history to top 100 yards rushing in a game. Vick:
127
Dunn: 134.

That does it for Week 3.9---Check back for Week 4 Wednesday/Thursday.
