Lets get right to some smacktalking: Fighting Marmots: "Two weeks in a row over 150. The Marmot train is rolling and there's no stopping it!"
Da Ditkas: "Get a job hippy! You'll need a fallback after I embarrass you!"

The over all standings for the league are listed below. This is the closest the race for the playoffs have ever been for 2nd through 10th place. The top 6 make the playoffs. Dead Rabbits holds the top spot and has clinched a playoff spot week 9. The remaining 5 spots are up for grabs. Week 10 will be very important. Argonauts, playing to keep their playoff hopes alive. Skoal Bandits are 3-6 and they play The Bus Drivers, also 3-6. With 4 games left until the playoff spots are decided it is likely to be a rocky race on the road to these playoffs.
