Millburn Mustangs over Trail Mix. Great win for my Mustangs, who came out on top in a good match against Coach Yeoh's Trail Mix. It was an interesting showdown, with both principals in an early season trade (I had traded away Tony Gonzalez and a not-as-important Antonio Bryant in exchange for Greg Jennings and a not-as-important Dustin Keller) paid some nice dividends for their current teams. A couple of my guys, including Calvin Johnson, Jennings, and newcomer Justin Forsett were instrumental in helping secure a near-clinched playoff spot. Trail Mix is still in the hunt, but is definitely on the bubble.
Beginner's Luck? over Team Singletary. This was almost a major upset, as Coach Kwon's squad stood 5 points behind Team Singletary going into the Monday night game, needing Chris Johnson to cover the difference. Fortunately for Coach Kwon, Johnson didn't sprain his ankle on the opening drive, and provided sufficient points to put Beginner's Luck over the top. With the win, Beginner's Luck also stays on the inside track for a playoff spot.
No Yankees over Pablo. This was a win that Coach Huang definitely needed more than Coach Tae, but behind the strength of monster games from Eli Manning and Ricky Williams (Ronnie Brown who?), No Yankees romped with a decisive victory, similarly putting them a strong position to clinch a playoff spot. Coach Huang was done in by poor showings by Joe Flacco and Jonathan Stewart, but unfortunately for him, nobody was beating No Yankees this week.
Cooler than Baptists over Go Yankees. The "Baptist bump" somehow didn't happen for Coach Beenken's squad, as Coach Fehringer stayed alive for a playoff spot with a decisive victory over Go Yankees. Cooler than Baptists were paced by Aaron Rodgers and Jerricho Cotchery, while Adrian Peterson's sub-par effort doomed Go Yankees. The bad news for Coach Beenken is that this might be the nail in the coffin. The good news for the rest of us is that Andrew can go back to researching life saving therapies as opposed to wasting his life scanning the waiver wire.
Punch in the Face over Don't Tread on Me. In what was a tight match, Coach Lee's Punch in the Face continued it's march to perfection with a win over Coach Cummings' Don't Tread on Me, aided by solid performances by all three of his wide receivers and a monster individual defensive player performance by James Laurenaitis. Hey, if you're getting good production from a St. Louis Ram, all power to you. No word on whether Coach Lee will rest his players for the playoff run (his last two regular season opponents are desperately trying to convince him to do so.)
ANSKY over Midgets. Coach Lee bounces back from a mini-losing streak by topping Coach Kang's Midgets in a shootout. Trade newcomers Percy Harvin and DeSean Jackson combined for 30 points, with his two running backs combining for 40. If Phil gets performances like this during the playoffs, look out. As for Coach Kang's crew, another strong performance falls short, leaving the team to wonder how in the world they have the same record as Team Singletary.
Hamsters over HE HATE ME. In an impressive and surprisingly lopsided win, Coach Cheng's Hamsters crushed Coach Song's HE HATE ME in a battle of attorneys, punching himself a ticket to the dance. Ah, the competitiveness of lawyers. First it starts with a little fantasy football smacktalk from Song, and then Cheng crushes his team. Then Song brags about his large bonus, and then Cheng has drugs planted in Albert's car. We're a fun bunch, we are.
