When Will I Win Again?!?
Another loss for Big Russ. "It's not so bad losing, I'm getting used to that, but losing to Wheeler - it's a fate worse than death." laments Big Russ owner, Commissioner Russell E. Ruszkowski. Ruszkowski failed to make-up the 23 point deficit Monday night in a battle between Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. Dammit!

Wheeler, on the other hand, had no shortage of points to pull out of his ass. Jake Delhomme earned 29 points (yes, he's on the Panthers) and Antonio Gates earned 23 - he's a tight end on the Chargers (yes, I never heard of him either). Wheeler looks to continue his winning ways in Week 10 by picking up other unknown talent and hoping they do well...

LZ Historians: The FF2k4 Flip-Flopper
If you looked at the scoreboard before a few minutes ago, you would have thought that LZ Historians were the winner against Long Eared Loungers. But the scoring was incorrect - LZ Historians were credited with the same defense TD twice - the result: a loss.

Long Eared Loungers have emerged as a football force in the beleaguered blue division. They have climbed out of last place, and are poised for some great things (currently in fourth place.)

My Money's on the Snake
Without Randy Moss, Daunte Culpepper is impotent. Trunk Monkeys lose their second straight when Daunte is brought down to Earth. 14 points? That's like a mortal quarterback. Clearly, the Shawn Franz football plan was to rely on one superstar player and let everything else fall when it may. Unfortunately, that play may be viable in the Blue Division.

The Kama Sutra Kobras cruised to victory with a solid performance from Peyton Manning: 34 points. The win puts the Kobras in sole possession of 1st place in the Orange Division.

Going to Need Some More Hired Goons
Fast Eddie loses another one, this time to the Drunken Punks. With the weekly low score (thanks for the $5) of 69, Fast Eddie proves again he never knows which player to activate in any given week. If you were to swap Bledsoe for McNabb and New England Defense for Pittsburgh Defense, you would have won. Sucks to be you.

The Drunken Punks turned-in a decent performance. If it weren't for Drew Brees' four touchdowns it would have been crap. What is with San Diego lately anyway?

G-Man Takes it out on The Ball Busters
After weeks of insults, G-Man proves he's still a "man" by whaling on the Ball Busters. With the weekly high score of 118, G-Man once again declares his intent on participating in this year's season. Is this too little too late? Tied at last place in the Orange Division is hardly the place to start, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

The Ball Busters totally fell apart. Besides the decision to start Jake Plummer, everything else sucked. Maybe you should think about fantasy soccer and leave the football to the pros (don't worry, I'll join you...)
