Comeback Game of the Week:  Killer Bees 36  Titans 34

Luck lead the Killer Bees Comeback

Last week the Bees were on the losing end of the Comeback Game of the Week by one point. This week it would be a little different against a surprisingly strong Titan team (what's up with that?).  Titans started Josh McCown,..yes that's right McCLOWN.  Well he was playing the Rams.  It proved to be the right move instead of Alex Smith..McCown threw 3 TD passes for the Titans while Smith had zip.  6 more from Ingram, Harvin and even the Patriots D and it looked like the Titans would start 2-0!  Bees countered with Decker and "Orange" Julius Thomas (4 TDs already on the season).  Gostkowski kicked in a huge 12 points for the Bees to make the score 34-24 going into Monday night.  The Bees would need a little Luck to pull this one off. And Luck is what they got.  Needing 3 TD passes from Andrew Luck, the Bees got it and this time did not come up short winning 36-34!  The Titans did have a good game and it will be interesting to see if this is the year they shake the title of joke of the CFFL...

Rivalry Game of the Week:  Wrecking Crew 50 Chislers 29

Graham hauled in 2 TD passes

The longest bitter rival between brothers wasn't as exciting as some contest but was bitter non the less.  The Crew drafted counters in Malcom Floyd and Antonio Gates to counter Chisler QB Phillip "Jugghead" Rivers.  Gates was drafted in the 9th round of the draft.  Chislers drafted players such as Matt Schaub (dropped), Jennings, and Danny "Stiff" Woodhead with Gates still on the board.  The TE attack of the Crew proved to be the big difference as GATES! had 18 points and Graham had 12 and Bennett had 6.  Owner of the Chislers, Rick Cherry, was bitching the whole time on if he had drafted Gates.  But the Crew started Tony Romo instead of Cutler since the Bears were in SF.  Turned out Cutler scored 16 points to Romo's 4.  The Romo experiment has ended and the Crew promptly traded him.

3 Juggheads still weren't enough

Gates one hand grab for 1 of his 3 TDs

Player of the Week: Antonio Gates - Wrecking Crew 18 points
Gates had a huge game catching 3 TD passes in the victory over the Chislers.  The experts were ready to write off Gates, but he proved he is not done yet! On a side note the Juggernauts benched Brandon Marshall who caught 3 TD passes and would have won the game for the Juggs.

Rodgers says "What do you want from me?"

Around the League...The Animals held off the Ferrets in OT as the Ferrets got a late game TD from Maclin to tie the game, unfortunately they needed 2 from Maclin to pull off the comeback.  The Animals prevailed in OT with Nick "The Dick" Novak kicking in 12 points for the victory...The Krauts were finally successful invading Russia as they took over Leningrad beating the Cocktails 45-29.  Krauts were lead by three double digit scorers in Rodgers (13), Morris (12), and "Mother Tucker (14)...However the Italians were not so successful as the Roulette defended Moscow beating the Juggernauts 25-11.  Peyton "Forehead" Manning lead the Roulette with 12 points.  The story of the game was leaving Juggernaut Marshall and his 18 points on the bench...After scoring 43 points last week the Dragons managed only 10 points versus hated rival Mayhem losing 34-10.  Mayhem was well balanced getting TDs from Frank Gore's Knee, Shady McCoy, the Cards D, and 12 points from Kicker Bullock...The Crush eeked out a win 18-16 over the Sinistars moving to 2-0.  Drew Brees had a pedestrian 8 points and rookie Sammy Watkins scored a TD...The curse continues for the Mafia, predicted to win it all as they fall to 0-2 losing to the Bums 30-7.  Cobb lead the Bums with 14 points and Russell Wilson continued to be consistent scoring 8...
