Millburn Mustangs over Pablo. My Mustangs pulled this one out by the slimmest of margins, a measly 0.68 points: 129.52 - 128.84. It looked like Coach Huang's frenetic pace of making moves would finally pay off, as he held a slim lead going into Monday Night Football. The goat of the week for the Mustangs was almost Mark Sanchez, who got that rare negative score for his zero touchdown, three interception performance. Eh, he's a rookie, and he finally played like it. A measly 4.3 points from RB Chester Taylor barely got it done for me.
Punch in the Face over Beginner's Luck? Coach Lee's Punch in the Face romped to victory behind the strength of performances by Tom Brady (not surprising) and Matt Forte (somehat surprising). Seriously, though, if Punch in the Face ends up making a championship run, he ought to send a tin of butter cookies to Coach Huang who gift-wrapped Tom Brady and Anquan Boldin to his team. I can't believe the league didn't veto any of those deals. Undefeated Punch in the Face is going to get tested in the next couple of weeks by a resurgent Pablo squad and the always dangerous Cooler than Baptists.
Hamsters over Cooler than Baptists. This game, which I thought was the most compelling matchup of the week surprisingly was won quite handily by the Hamsters. Credit needs to go to Coach Cheng for his late pickup of WR Mike Sims-Walker who busted out for 21 points. Mike Sims-Walker? Across the board, the Hamsters met or did slightly better than projected, and Cooler than Baptists barely met or failed to meet their projections. Not surprisingly, the rodent won out.
Midgets over HE HATE ME. Go Coach Kang! The Midgets torpedoed the absolutely neglected HE HATE ME squad, who are allegedly no longer attending practices or the games under the complete apathetic gaze of Coach Song. That's not to take away anything from the Midgets for their gutsy win. It was good to see the Midgets roster filled with people who are actually playing in the NFL.
ANSKY over Team Singletary. Coach Lee's ANSKY continues their march to perfection, creaming Coach Lin's Team Singletary. Just five more weeks, and we might have a Week 10 showdown of (possibly perfect) ANSKY and Punch in the Face. It just dawned upon me that the current undefeated teams are both led by the coaches with the surname of Lee. There are some differences, however. Besides the coach of ANSKY not being Korean, he also doesn't have the audacity to propose ridiculously lopsided trades like Hines Ward for Randy Moss.
No Yankeees over Don't Tread on Me. You know, Coach Tae's "I'm going to stack my team with previously exclusively, now mostly Giants" thing has worked out okay for him, not surprising given that the Giants are undefeated and continue to rack up great individual stats for its stars. For Coach Cummings, the Houston Texans put 29 points on the board (which should mean good news), yet Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson were 12 fantasy points short from projections.
Trail Mix over Go Yankees. Coach Yeoh's Trail Mix put in a solid, yet unspectacular effort in dispatching Go Yankees. In fairness, Trail Mix was largely aided by Coach Beeken's negligence in adjusting his roster to the first bye week. Touch week in the lab, Coach Beenken? Apparently someone has some misadjusted priorities in curing cancer when there's fantasy football games to be won.
So here are the current standings (Top 8 teams after Week 12 go to playoffs):
1 ANSKY (Lee) 4-0-0
2 Punch in the Face (Lee) 4-0-0
3 Hamsters (Cheng) 3-1-0
4 Millburn Mustangs (Kuo) 3-1-0
5 Cooler than Baptists (Fehringer) 2-2-0
6 Trail Mix (Yeoh) 2-2-0
7 No Yankees (Tae) 2-2-0
8 Don't Tread on Me (Cummings) 2-2-0
9 Pablo (Huang) 1-3-0
10 Go Yankees (Beenken) 1-3-0
11 Beginner's Luck? (Kwon) 1-3-0
12 Midgets (Kang) 1-3-0
13 HE HATE ME (Song) 1-3-0
14 Team Singletary (Lin) 1-3-0
