Millburn Mustangs over ANSKY. This might be the turning point of my season, with my Mustangs taking out Coach Lee's ANSKY. ANSKY is arguably the 2nd best team in the league, and I lucked out with a monster day from Michael Turner along with a sub-par days from ANSKY's Drew Brees and Chad Ochocinco. I clearly need this win more than Coach Lee did, and this will help me get off the playoff bubble. For at least a week.
Beginner's Luck? over Go Yankees. What's the deal with Coach Kwon and his masterful general management of his team? After a slow 1-3 start, 'Luck has won 4 out of its last 5 and has surged into playoff position. With all his deft management, we'll stop with the jokes that Coach Kwon was behind the implosion of Lehman Brothers. Coach Beenken was tripped up with a number of sub-par performances by a number of his key players, including Matt Ryan and Torry Holt.
Trail Mix over Pablo. Wow, Coach Yeoh managed to set his roster a day before Sunday, and when he did, he set the wheels in motion for a surprising a decisive win. Coach Huang's Pablo was done in by awful performances by Joe Flacco and Reggie Wayne (hmm... Paul sure could use a quarterback - maybe he can ask Coach Lee if Tom Brady or Jay Cutler's available). Coach Huang's hope of giving Olivia a baptismal gift of a dedicated victory didn't quite happen.
Don't Tread on Me over Cooler than Baptists. Coach Fehringer continues his nasty habit of having a good team who happens to bring out the best in his opponents. Cooler than Baptists had a good performance, which is fine except for the fact that Coach Cummings' squad went bonkers, with impressive showing from Joseph Addai and Greg Olson. When Greg Olson is lighting it up for 25 points, and you crush your opponent even without filling a roster spot, you just have to chalk it up to an irrational hatred that Alan has for Will.
Punch in the Face over Midgets. What can you say? It was almost an upset for the ages, saved only by a clutch performance by Hines Ward. A team with starting three players on their "bye" week almost toppled the undefeated best team in the league. Coach Lee would've had to deal with a horrible loss after watching the Yankees celebrate their 27th championship. It was a tough week as it was. But on the plus side, Coach Lee did clinch an Emmanuel Classic playoff spot.
No Yankees over HE HATE ME. Coach Tae ignored the five fantasy owners picking against him and took out Coach Song's HE HATE ME, despite an awful gag-job by the Giants. Despite the Giant loss, the players put up some nice stats, and that DeAngelo Williams trade is looking pretty good right now.
Hamsters over Team Singletary. Anyone surprised by this? Unlike the Punch in the Face over Midgets matchup, there wasn't any Cinderella story or David vs. Goliath ending. Okay, moving on.

I'm now referring to it as "The Baptist Bump."
Looking forward to this week's recap.
Hamster and I had a tiny tussle over a trade proposal of Sims-Welker for Dallas Clark. Should make for an interesting Week 12.
