Week 8 Home and Home Re-Cap

Well the home and home series have come and gone and per usual have determined the haves and have nots in the divisions.  Lets take a look at what happened in this years home and home series.

North Division

You got swept by the Animals
"Wait, what??"

In the North it was Father vs. Son as the Chislers and Animals squared off for two bitter games.  The Chislers came into this winning the past 3 games in a row.  The Animals the last 5 in a row.  Something had to give.  What gave was the Chislers as the Animals swept his father's team and have a commanding 2 game lead in the North at 7-1.  In game one in Buffalo the Animals beat the Chislers 36-28 lead by two big TDs from Demaryius Thomas, while Animal QB "Malachi" Dalton was shut out.  The Chislers' RB woes continued as they have 3 Raven running backs on their roster and couldn't start the right one.  Forsett got the start and Pierce scored.  Game two was similar as the Animals won again 38-29. Chislers got the early lead with 12 from Phillip "Jugghead" Rivers, but Dalton got two running TDs to match.  Animals WR Antonio Brown would have 2 big TDs and the Chislers couldn't get their Packer players, Lacy, Nelson and Crosby to come through.  Only Crosby scored. On the Bench for the Chislers was Roethlisberger (24 points) and Sanders (18 points)...DOH!!!

Cutler consoling Smith, another victim of the Ferret Curse 

In the other home and home battle between the Ferrets and Wrecking Crew, the Crew were favored to sweep this battle.  However, the Ferrets would have something different to say about that. In game one the Ferrets brought their Number One Ranked "Defense" shutting down the Crew offense to only 14 points winning 18-14.  Kirk Cousins was in once again for the Ferrets but was then benched mid way through the game but the Ferrets still won the game and continued the Ferret Curse for NFL players.  In game two it would be a different story.  The Ferrets defense couldn't hold down the Crew offense two weeks in a row and lost 45-16.  The Ferret Curse struck again as they started Geno Smith, who was promptly benched for Vick.  Gates continues to be the Team MVP as he caught 2 more TDs to give him 9 TDs already on the season.  The Chicago Crew combined for 22 points although Gould only had one point and newly acquired Marshall had 0.

Crew now trail the 7-1 Animals by 2 games at 5-3 while the Ferrets and Chislers only hope is for a wild card spot at 3-5.

Eastern Bloc

In the Eastern Bloc we had a battle for Mother Russia and a battle between old Axis power buddies in Germany and Italy...

Rodgers injury still in question.

The Krauts didn't mess around with their good buddy from the  wine country sweeping the Juggernauts in impressive fashion.  Game one  the Krauts won 27-7 in Berlin getting 12 points from Rodgers while the only points from the Juggernauts was from their Kicker Bailey.  This prompted one of the biggest (and most creative video) fires sales ever!  With this many great players up for trade it was hard to believe the Juggs have managed only 1 win on the season.  Marshall, Bryant, Bell brothers (Joique and Labia) Maclin...By the time game two rolled around back in Rome, the Krauts had no problem with a picked over remains of the Juggernauts 50-13.  This was with only 10 points from Rodgers.  The Krauts were lead by 12 points from former Ferret, former Juggernaut, Maclin.  The Krauts had 3 players in double digits (Rodgers-10, Maclin-12, "Mother" Tucker -10) plus a defensive TD in OT for the Vikings helped too!

Lenin and Stalin...who gains power in Russia?

Manning doing all he can

In the battle for Mother Russia game one was held in Leningrad as the Cocktails hosted the Roulette lead by Peyton Manning.  The Roulette made sure that the Cocktails need to respect the top team in the Soviet Union.  Cocktails were fired up and already celebrating their win as they got 12 from Romo and then TDs from Wallace, Wright and 6 more from Cundiff up 30-12.  Well the Roulette came Sunday night with their dangerous Bronco fire power of Manning, Hillman and Welker.  Manning would throw for 4 TDs, Hillman would score 2 TDs and Welker another one, for a total of 34 points to give them the 46-30 lead.  Cocktails would add just 6 more from Foster and the Roulette left them remembering Stalin!  The next week would be in Moscow and the Roulette would be heavy favorites to complete the sweep.  But the Cocktails would prove they are a team to be reckoned with in Russia as Foster scored 18 huge points to give them the 36-24 win over the Roulette in Moscow.  Manning came through for the Roulette with 12 points but Hillman and Welker came up empty and was the difference.  However the Roulette made their mark even in a loss hammering Romo all game long, knocking him out of the game for a while and is yet to be determined if he will play next week.

So after it is all said and done the Krauts and Roulette lead the East at 5-3, both fielding impressive offenses.  Don't count out the Cocktails at 3-5 only 2 games back and now has the #3 offense in the CFFL.

Sad Sack South

The deadly Bees sideways 10 point connection

Oh the South...I feel like a broken record talking about the South every year, but its because its the same shit every year.  After the home and home series it appears that the Bees are well in control of the South and with the #1 offense in the CFFL shouldn't have any trouble winning this division.  They swept the Mayhem  and may have put the Mayhem out of playoff contention.  Game one the Bees had to hang on to win 35-31 as the Mayhem had Bullock on Monday night kicking in 11 points to make the game closer than it really was.  The Bees key to success is the Colts with Luck and Bradshaw who combined for 20 points in game one.  Game two would be closer and actually as close as the score indicated as the Bees won 33-32.  Again Luck and Bradshaw combined for 18 points and one of the TD passes went to Mayhem TY Hilton! But the final TD pass from Luck in garbage time against the Steelers was the difference to win the game for the Bees and put them in the driver seat of the South.

Ingram scores winning TD!

Home and Home Brother Battle between the Dragons and Titans usually mean the Dragons get back in the hunt.  Game one would go per usual, although it was closer than anticipated as the Dragons edged the Titans 17-15 getting their only points from their QB Tannehill and Kicker, Sturgis.  The Titans at least fielded a team of players that all were playing that week, I think, and still only managed 15 points.  In Game 2 the Titans would pull off the upset over the hapless Dragons 21-19.  It came down to the Sunday Night game with the Dragons up 19-15 as the Titans had Ingram and the Dragons had Colston.  Ingram would score to give the Titans the last minute victory as Colston didn't score, and has been a disappointment all year...actually for a few years now.

While the Dragons are not out of it sitting two games back at 3-5 to the 5-3 Killer Bees, but haven't showed they have the offense to make a run for a playoff spot.  However, stranger things have happened in the CFFL...

Wild Wild West

Brady and Gronk connect 3 times!

Is the West the best division in the CFFL?  Well they are the only division to have all 4 teams .500 or better.  West Division leading Sinistars would take on the Bums who were one game behind them and a big game for the Bums to tie the Sinistars for first place.  Bums would deliver in game one getting 14 huge points from Russell "Not black enough" Wilson and 6 from Jamaal Charles and Randall Cobb.  Tom Brady for the Sinistars would score 12 points but couldn't get much more help from the rest of the roster and failed to hit Gronkowski for the coveted 10 point connection.  Well the Sinistars would not be very happy with the results of game one and would come back in the second game and laid a 50-burger on the Bums beating them 57-35.  38 of the 57 points came from their Patriots as Brady hit Gronk for 3 TDs and would have 5 TD passes all together.  They also got 12 points from their defense the Dolphins (who we all thought were on the Titans or Dragons).  A waste of a good performance from the Bums with 12 from Charles, 6 from Tate and Cobb.

Fantasy Gods say "I don't think so!"

 Crush and Mafia squared off and the Mafia surprised the Crush in game one 24-21 lead by 12 points from Forte and they survived the ill advised roster move of starting Matt Ryan (4) over Eli "Mouth Breather" Manning (12).  Sammy Watkins was the only bright spot for the Crush in this game scoring 12 points.  The loss by the Crush moved them to 4-3 and for some reason prompted them to issue a fire sale of their team.  How does a team still above .500 decide to give up on the season...Well it is the Crush we are talking about.  The Fantasy Gods would not be happy with this move and make the Crush pay for it in the following week.  The Mafia and Crush would battle to a 35-35 tie in regulation.  Drew Brees helped in making that tie with 12 points on Sunday Night and couldn't get just one more TD pass to win the game.  Oh and let us not forget the show boating Sammy Watkins who thought he had a TD and began celebrating on the 10 yard line and would be caught from behind and not score...which would have been the difference in the game and give the Crush the win.  In OT the home team Mafia would win as Dan Carpenter kicked for 13 points.

The Mafia sweep of the Crush move them to 5-3 only a game behind the Sinistars in the West, tied with the Bums.  Crush still in it at 4-4 but the Fantasy Gods are not happy with them and could spell trouble for the rest of the year...

Power Rankings:

1. Alex Animals 7-1   Hard to not rank the Animals, winners of 7 straight, number 1

2. Killer Bees 5-3  Now that they have won 3 in a row and likely win the division the number one offense Bees could be odds on favorite to win it all

3. Sinistars 6-2  On fire Brady and healthy Gronkowski could mean trouble for Sinistar opponents, plus DeMarco Murray..geez...

4. Bacardi Bums 5-3  Playing in the tough west they haven't scored less than 31 points since week 3.

5. Wrecking Crew 5-3  Crew fate depends on the Chicago Crew (Cutler, Marshall, Bennett and Gould), but don't overlook the TE duo of Gates and Graham.

6. Krauts 5-3  After putting up 50 points this week there is some concern about leading scorer Rodgers hammy

7. Roulette 5-3  How this team hasn't scored more points with Manning is still a mystery.   

CFFL Week 6

The Good Life Blog is back with its recap on the CFFL's Week 6 action.

Games of the Week:

Killer Bees 55  Mafia 45

The dreaded sideways 10 point connection!

This was a wild shoot out as both teams combined for 100 points!  Finally the Bees, who boast the number 1 offense was on the right side of a shoot out.  Andrew Luck continues to lead this team and had 12 points and leads all players with 80 points.  Luck truly having the best year of his career.  Helping the Bees tally their second 50 plus point total was "Orange" Julius Jones who had 2 TDs.  The Mafia were not going to go away quietly and if Matt Ryan played a slightly better game than just one TD they might have pulled this off.  They got 2 scores from Forte and TDs from Fitzgerald, Jackson, and Steve Smith.

Ferrets 23 Juggernauts 21
In the comeback game of the week, the Juggernauts had a 13-11 lead late in the game and got 8 more points from QB Nick Foles to take a solid 21-11 lead going into Monday Night.  The Ferrets returned to the Bizlat Kaepernick to lead the team as the "Redskin Experiment" was over.  The Ferrets would need 3 TD passes from the Bizlat.  He hadn't thrown for more than 2 all year.  Well for once Ferret law would not prevail and Kaepernick was playing the Rams.  He managed to get 3 TD passes and the come from behind victory for the struggling Ferrets.

Kaepernick brings the Ferrets back to victory!

Cocktails 47 Wrecking Crew 38

Romo telling Witten to turn his hat around.

In the upset of the week, the Cocktails won a wild one that for a while was back and forth with several lead changes.  The Cocktails started out of the gate quick with 12 big points on Thursday night from Foster.  The lead wouldn't last very long as the Crew backfield of Bernard and Jackson would both tally TDs.  Later in the day it was 2  10 point connections facing off; the Cocktails' Romo/Witten connection versus Cutler/Bennett.  On paper you would think that the Crew would have the advantage.  Romo and the Cowboys were going to Seattle.  Witten not much of a TD threat lately.  Well throw that paper out as Romo seeking some revenge on the team that drafted him and then traded him away connected with Witten.  The game was still in question when the Cocktail Defense scored a meaningless TD to tie the game at 38.  They would add 9 more from their Kicker on Sunday night.  Every starting player for the Crew scored but it wasn't enough.

Player of the Week:  Joe Flacco, QB Crush - 20 points
Joe Flacco who now just rides the pine for the Crush had to be brought in to start for Drew Brees who was on a bye.  He responded by throwing 5 TD passes in just over a quarter!  And the Crush needed everyone of those 20 points as no one else scored for them except their kicker but yet they still defeated the Dragons 27-22.  Dragons continue to struggle with lineup decisions.  Start Tannehill? Start Roethlisberger? Keep Fleener?  Drop Fleener?  Start or Bench him??....

Flacco fires for 5 TDs!

Around the league...The Bums had no problem with the Titans winning 43-10 getting 12 surprising points from Ben Tate.  Titans are still under investigation after starting Josh McCown, who isn't even starting in the NFL...The Sinistars defeated the Mayhem 35-26 lead by 16 points from Tom Brady and 13 from kicker Mike Nugent and helped them stay in first in the suddenly strong Western Division....Animals move to 5-1 beating out the Roulette 27-24.  Manning of the Roulette just not getting any help as only his 12 points and kicker Catanzaro's 12 was all the Roulette could manage....Are the Chislers back?  They have now won 3 in a row after defeating the Krauts 27-24 as Rivers went toe to toe with Rodgers both scoring 12 points.  The rest of the Chisler points came from their Packers' Nelson and Crosby "Stills and Nash"...

Power Rankings:

1. Sinistars 5-1 - Brady and Gronk, Muarry.  Team is solid and has scored totals of 40, 37, 35 last three weeks

2. Bums 4-2 - No real stand out player on team but putting it together scoring 44, 48, 43 last three weeks.

3. Wrecking Crew 4-2 - Despite the upset loss to Cocktails still dangerous team of top TEs and 11 point connection

4. Animals 5-1 - Putting together a good year with wideouts Benjamin, Demaryius, and Brown.  

5. Killer Bees 3-3 - Watch out for this team who have scored 255 points on the season (next closest is 208) 

CFFL Week 4

Week 4 is in the books and two division are beginning to have some serious separation...

Game of the Week: Bums 44 Killer Bees 42

Charles was in Charge with 3 TDs!

This game didn't look like it had a chance to be interesting as the Bees got another 4 TD performance out of Luck, who is the leading scorer after 4 weeks with 58 points.  Not to mention 2 more TDs from Lamar Miller.  The Bums came into the game under investigation for not making lineup changes as they had a QB on bye (Wilson) along with their Defense (Broncos).  However it apparently didn't matter.  Going into Monday night the Bums were down 40-26 with Jamaal Charles "In Charge" and Edelman.  But you never know with Jamaal Charles who had a 5 TD performance to knock out the Chislers in last years playoffs.  This year the Bums got 3 TDs from Charles to come back and beat the Bees and earn a much needed win to move to 2-2 one game back of the Crush.

Top Team of the Week:  Mayhem 67 Crush 24
It was truly Mayhem in Michigan as they rattled off 67 points against the Crush!  It helps when your defense scores 3 times (Eagles).  The Mayhem always seem to find high scoring defenses (prior years had Ravens of old).  But they didn't even need those 18 points as Stafford put up 14, Eddie Royal "Flush"had 12 and Randy Bullock kicked in 11.  Gore's knee got a TD and Torrey Smith rose from the dead to catch a TD pass.  It was no match for Brees who had a rough day and only threw for 2 TDs and production from the Crush came only from Jeffery "I WIN" and Sammy "Davis Junior" Watkins.

Eagles D tallied 18 points!

Who is this guy??

Players of the Week:  Eagles Defense, Mayhem; Jamaal Charles, Bums; Matt Asiata, Cocktails
Three players earned player of the week status.  As mentioned earlier the Eagles D of the Mayhem had 18 points as did Charles of the Bums.  However there was a third.  Matt Asiata "Cheese" scored 3 TDs for the Cocktails and has filled in nicely for Peterson.


Around the League...The Animals showed they were a team to be reckoned with as they dispensed the Juggernauts relatively easily 41-26 lead by 15 big points from Nick "The Dick" Novak and 2 TD catches from Antonio Brown.  Brown has 5 TDs on the season already and made his second game in a row with 2 TD catches.  Juggs couldn't get anything going with, what they thought was a great trade for a 10 point connection of Foles and Maclin as they turned up goose eggs...

Brown has been money past 2 weeks!

The scene at Crew Stadium Sunday

The Crew after starting 3-0 and seemed to rolling right along hit a road bump and managed to fall completely flat against the Krauts 42-19.  No production from their RBs and only one TD from their power TE lineup spelled doom.  Krauts made Crew pay for their ineptness as Rodgers beat out Cutler 16-8 while TDs from Morris, Hopkins and White completed the Blitzkrieg....

Mafia sent a message to the management of the Titans that must have got them scared as they fled to New York and made no line up changes losing 35-11.  Mafia got 24 points just from Matty "Ice" Ryan and Steve "Hood Rat" Smith.  When Mafia ownership was asked why they thought Titans didn't make any changes they simply replied "I dunno what ya talkenabout.  We would do no such things to alter such outcomes.  Forgettaboutit"

The Dragons were the victim of another late game comeback, this time to the hands of the Sinistars.  Dragons got a surprising double digit day from Roethlisberger to take a 26-6 lead into the Sunday Night game.  Sinistars had Murray and Williams of the Cowboys and struck gold with them getting a combined 24 points taking the lead 30-26.  Dragons couldn't get anything from Colston.  Sinistars threw in a 10 point connection for good measure as Brady hit Gronkowski for a TD late Monday...

Murray ran all over Dragons

The Roulette won an ugly one against the Ferrets 19-13 and basically beat them with their kicker Blair Walsh "Project"'s 15 points.  The Ferrets had the Roulette on a weak week as Broncos were on bye thus no Peyton Manning and no Wes Welker.  However the Ferrets mad scientist owner decided on a Redskin experiment loading up on Washington players; Cousins, Darrel Young (who?), Garcon, and Niles Paul. Well as Ferret Law goes the Redskins stunk it up on Thursday Night, Cousins looked terrible, Niles Paul got bee bee'd...well you get the picture...

The new leaders of the Ferrets??

Took 4 weeks but the Chislers showed they still have some fight in them yet.  They took down the expansion Cocktails 50-39 a game that got a little closer than expected.  The Green Bay Chislers finally lived up to preseason expectations scoring 26 points (Lacy, Nelson, Crosby) and "Jugghead" Rivers threw for 12 points.  The Cocktails probably had their best game getting a crazy 18 points from Asiata "Cheese" and 12 from Romo.  However it wasn't enough and they fall to 0-4.

So what is happening in the standings after 4 weeks?

In the North the separation has begun as the Wrecking Crew and Animals are tied at 3-1 while the bottom half of the division has the Ferrets and Chislers at 1-3, but the season has a long way to go. Look for the the Chislers to look a little more like last week and less like the previous 3 weeks.

Similar situation in the East as the Roulette (4-0) and Krauts (3-1) begin to pull away from the Juggernauts (1-3) and Molotov Cocktails (0-4).  Roulette get Manning back rest of the year so they will be the team to beat in the east.

The South and the West are a bit more compact as the South has three teams tied for first at 2-2, and even the Titans are only a game behind at 1-3.  Bees still the best offense in the league despite their 2-2 record so don't expect them to sit back for long and start to pull away in the east...the West is log jammed too as the Sinistars (3-1) have only a one game lead over the rest of the teams who are all 2-2.

Power Rankings:

1. Russian Roulette 4-0:  Get Manning back, only undefeated team in the CFFL












2. R.C. Wrecking Crew 3-1: Momentary lapse this week.  Still boasts a strong line up.

3. Georgia Killer Bees 2-2: Unlucky record with two losses scoring 42, 36, 50, and 42 points.

4. Kretz Krauts 3-1: Are the Krauts back?  Having Rodgers helps

5.  Stamm's Sinistars 3-1: Only one week below 29 points. Brady yet to pull his weight

6. Alex's Animals 3-1: Post 41 and 34 points past two weeks. Might have best WRs (Benjamin, Brown and Demaryius)

CFFL Week 3

This week saw our share of lopsided victories and a few big comebacks....

The Blowouts:

Roulette 44 Chislers 15

Manning is undefeated with the Roulette

Moscow, Russia - The Roulette dropped the Chislers to 0-3 as it appears that Chisler luck has run out.  Roulette were lead early by Julio Jones' two TD catches on Thursday and they really never looked back.  Rookie kicker Catanzaro had 11 and Manning had 9.  And to for good measure the Roulette Bear defense put a little salt in the wound with the Chislers done, put 6 more on the board.  The Green Bay Chislers combined for a whopping 1 point (Crosby, Nelson, Lacy).

Mafia 26 Mayhem 9
Tampa, FL - Mafia had little trouble with the Mayhem as they too took an early lead with Matt Ryan's 12 points on Thursday.  That would have been enough to beat the Mayhem but got 6 more from DeSean Jackson and 8 from Hauschka.  Mayhem got no points form Stafford, Gore or TY Hilton and had 12 points on the bench by Eddie Royal.

Killer Bees 50 Crush 22
Pasadena, CA - It was killer bee season in the Southern California woods this time as they destroyed the Crush getting scoring from all but one player and their D.  Andrew Luck had 16 points and Bradshaw, Victor "haven't scored a TD in 357 days" Cruz, Cecil "Eat my" Shorts, and "Orange" Julius Thomas all had TDs.

Beast Mode's 2 TDs help Dragons back on the Winning Track

Dragons 35 Bums 18
Dragons still bitter about the preseason predictions and their pitiful performance the prior week took it out on the Bums.  The running attack lead the way as the Dragons got 12 from "Beast Mode" Lynch and Reggie Bush.  The win ties them with the hated Bees in the South and drops the Bums to a game behind the Sinistars and Crush in the West.

Sinistars 29 Titans 7
Seattle, WA - Things seem to be getting back to normal in the CFFL as the Titans dropped their second in a row and only scored 7 points after scoring 30 or more the past two weeks.  Sinistars did it with little help from pretty boy Brady (4 points), however his one TD pass went to Gronkowski for the 10 point connection.   They also got production from their Cowboys Murray and Williams each scoring a TD

Gronk and Bibi...always having fun...

The Comebacks:

Animals 34 Cocktails 23

Cocktail fans were not happy!

Leningrad, Russia - The Molotov Cocktails took an early lead in this one as newly acquired Harry "Balls" Douglas scored an early TD and they would hold this lead to the bitter end leading going into Sunday nights game 19-16.  However this is where the Animals were unleashed as they tallied 18 points on Sunday night (12 from Antonio Brown and 6 from Kelvin "Private" Benjamin). This team from old Leningrad wasn't called Molotov Cocktails for nothing for after the Animals onslaught, the game had to be delayed due to fans chucking said team name's explosives onto the playing field.

Cutler and Bennett hooked up twice!

Wrecking Crew 41 Juggernauts 28
Rome, Italy - The Juggernauts had build a nice 28-12 lead going into Monday night thanks to 12 points from Foles and 10 from Bailey.  Crew had only got 12 points from Bernard.  Things would have to go just right Monday night as the Crew brought in their Chicago Crew of Cutler, Bennett and Gould.  However with the Juggs fielding Marshall it would be imperative that Cutler not throw to Marshall.  The result?  Crew hit on not one but two 11 point connections as Cutler hit Bennett for 2 TDs.  "And that's all she wrote".

Ho Hum Game of the Week:
Krauts 21 Ferrets 14
Berlin, Germany - Not much to write about this this game  Ferrets really never in, specially when the only Kaepernick TD pass went to Kraut WR Crabtree...

Player of the Week - Andrew Luck, Killer Bees - 16 points.

Andrew Luck helped the Bees dispense the Crush as he threw for 4 TDs in the victory.

Standings are close after 3 weeks with most teams only a game out of first in their divisions.  There are only 2 teams at 3-0, the Crew and the Roulette.  Crew lead by their Chicago Crew and power jumbo formation of 3 TEs, and the Roulette lead by Manning and Julio Jones and the surprise Knile Davis...The Bees, despite their one loss, lead the league in scoring and have totals of 42, 36, and 50.  Watch out for this team...Only 1 team hasn't got their firs win and surprisingly its the Chislers, the perennial power house.  Hard times have fallen on the Chislers as their Green Bay connections has disappointed thus far.  Will they be able to turn it around has yet to be seen.

CFFL Power Rankings top 3:

1. R.C. Wrecking Crew 3-0











2. Russian Roulette 3-0











3. Georgia Killer Bees 2-1

CFFL Week 2

Week 2 in the books and the season begins to take shape. The week began with remembrance of 9/11 around the leauge...

In remembrance of 9/11 firefighters climbed Crew Stadium

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...

Manning aka Megamind

Key Games Next Week:

Ferrets at Krauts - a rematch of Fantasy Bowl XXII which the Ferrets lost to the Krauts 38-28 in their only Fantasy Bowl appearance.

Chislers at Roulette - Chislers 0-2.  Roulette 2-0.  Huge game for the Chislers to not drop to 0-3 and will be a tall order as they travel all the way to Moscow and take on Peyton Manning.
