Week 6 Wrap-Up

Week 6 came, went, and kicked the ass of every other week we've had in the history of the league!  Nine out of ten teams in the league broke 100 points like it was no effort at all, and eight players on starting rosters posted more than 30 points this week.  With that kind of production around the league it makes for an exciting Tuesday morning review.

Angry Asians 116.2 vs. LFP Phreaks 149.4
Scoring a shade over 116 points is usually a pretty good indicator that you had a winning week, but when Matt Schaub, DeAngelo Williams, and Randy Moss all decide to put together good games it is hard to keep up.  You know, if Stephen Jackson and Mike Sims-Walker weren't on awful teams, this game could have been awfully close, and maybe contended for the all time combined scoring record.  However, as it stands the third leading scorers for the week, the LFP Phreaks take home a win without any complaints, and on the other end Wong and co. can't help but dream about the defensive touchdowns that both New Orleans and Minnesota had called back... It's a cruel cruel world.

Party Animals 157.95 vs. Show Me Your TD's 76.15
It's pretty amazing to look at this score and see that my own mother more than doubled the score of a friend of mine, but to use the often imitated line, "that just happened."  Yes, it did.  Gas managed to have the only team in the league that missed out on the 100 point train that ran through with a vengeance, and what a rough spot to fail against my mother.  Drew Brees returned to the rarefied air he sniffed against Detroit by posting a 40.05, plus Wes Welker and Hines Ward combined to tack on 47.9 more points, meaning that those three players alone beat the TD's by themselves.  It was ugly, it was interesting, and more than anything it was a brutal beat down.  The good news is, the record for biggest blowout didn't get broken, so the shame won't go on the books forever.  Congrats to both of you.

Lynnhood Curbstompers 111 vs. Hail to the Chefs 161.5
Ummm, wow Tony, nice game.  J.J. nor anyone else saw this one coming, as Tom Brady took a snowstorm and made it into his bitch during the second quarter of his game against Tennessee, and 48 fantasy points later he helped make Mr. Le's team the leading scorer for the week in his profile week.  Add a ridiculous performance by Green Bay's defense against the Detroit Lions good for 28 points, compare that to the top player on the Curbstompers, Sidney Rice (22.6 points), shake it up and pour it over ice and we're all Hailing the Chefs.  Thanks for taking the hit J.J., you poor man.

I Stiff Armed Your Mom 128.8 vs. My Team Blows Again 103.65
The battle of roommates proved to be an intriguing one, right up until Thomas Jones decided to run for over 200 yards.  Joe Flacco and the aforementioned T.J. led the hapless Stiffies to their second win of the season, fending off an incredible performance by Ray Rice, who came in to the week as ADP's understudy until the dust settled.  Division positions stay relatively the same, but the pride in the household has shifted in favor of the resurgent Stiff ones.


Breaston My Face 129.1 vs. Fister? I hardly know her. 117.3
In the most interesting game of the week to follow, Jared's Breaston Kyle's Face stayed undefeated after week six of the season.  Though Kyle took a lead into Sunday, the combination of Philip Rivers and Nate Kaeding came through on Monday night to counter the efforts of Brandon Marshall.  A close game with what seemed to be a foregone conclusion that came true after all, but who doesn't love watching the last game of the week with something on the line so they can worry and get that much more intense about it.

T'was a wonderful week for football, and who wouldn't want to see scores like those every week?!
