Authority leaves town and the league goes wild. We’ve got it all here, illegal waiver claims, teams carrying too many players, and teams over salary cap. Radeck will have his hands full cleaning this up…
#1 Balti-Morons — (6-0; 73.43 avg. points) The only one of four teams behind going into Monday night behind to pull off a win. Duncan / Kalb had enough money to outspend everybody for Chris Ivory and, if Addai is out for some time, potentially have 5 active starting RBs. Good to see the history of WRs on this team in trouble with the law continues….first Plax, now Britt.
#2 Vote Quimby — (4-2; 71.37 avg. points) Make it 4 wins in a row. Point explosion prediction not coming to pass last week aside, Eric’s team is on fire. If Gates can play this week it will prove a major boost. Going up against the Morons, one of the win streaks has to end.
#3 Qtopia — (4-2; 76.23 avg. points) Feeling the heat in the ultra competitive South division, Doug has made moves. A trade with Goonie brought in a real 2nd QB, Freeman, and sent out high priced WRs Evans ($5) and Steve Smith (CAR – $11). One slip up in all the moves though, picking up a kicker who will be on bye himself to replace Kaeding won’t work well.
#4 Qutane – (3-3; 77.28 avg. points) The PIT defense did pretty well, as expected, but not enough to get Radeck a win. Losing Finley for the year, and D. Jackson indefinitely, could really hurt this team.
#5 Quickly Eliminated – (3-3; 75.11 avg. points) Congrats on the high points, though not enough for a skin. Unfortunately, losing highest scoring WR Collie will hurt. This team has the RB depth to sustain though.
#6 Raging Alcoholics – (3-3; 72.01 avg. points) After a nearly 4-0 start, Dan has fallen even. Losing Addai for a length of time would hurt badly due to a lack of depth. Failed to pick up a bye week kicker.
#7 Golden Smoot – (3-3; 67.53 avg. points) Richman & Co lost the ugliest game of the week, losing by a point while only putting up 40. Owners of a 2 game skid, it won’t get any easier vs. Qtopia. (Kicker or no kicker)
#8 Revenge of the Cox – (3-3; 68.57 avg. points) It’s hard to be .500 with all the talent on this team. Which of the $1 WRs will be put up for a bye week fill in this week and next?
#9 Ron Mexiq – (2-3; 69.82 avg. points) Apologies for the mistake last week – Dan did indeed have a backup kicker. If the Colts start to waiver after all their injuries, keeping 2 top tier QBs behind Peyton might not seem so crazy anymore.
#10 The Russing Russians – (2-4; 67.07 avg. points) On the plus side, Nick has a returning Big-Ben paying immediate dividends. Unfortunately, Dallas Clark was a big piece of this team. If Roy Williams can keep catching TDs, out of nowhere, then things might be OK.
#11 Goonie Goonie Goo – (2-4; 62.13 avg. points) Win #2 was ugly over Smoot. If Smith can be his usual self Paul will have a pretty nice balance of RBs and WRs to draw from. A win this week would be huge to solidifying early playoff hopes.
#12 Al Toon All Stars – (1-5; 58.62 avg. points) Playing without an active RB put Mike in a hole before kickoff, and not much can be done when your opponent puts up 90+ points on you. Will Caddy have enough juice left to get the team through until Thomas comes back?
