1st Place: Bake-O's & Rage - 30 pts 2nd Place: none |
THE "P" WORD - Parity is running rampant in the UFFL this year. Heading into Amen Corner (Weeks 7 and 8 for the uninitiated (all of you, actually, since I just made that up (well, really I ganked it from the Masters)), eight teams are 3-2-1, 3-3-0, or 2-3-1. Look at this week's scores - total points for each game: 47, 46, 36, 42, 40, 39. Very, very close. Of course, the Rams being on bye affected that quite a bit, but the point remains...UFFL 2000 is a very competitive place to be. No team is really out of it yet (only SMIR is in disarray, but that is due to Fred and the Rams). The second half of the season should be very exciting, at least until TWC catches fire and smokes all y'all. |
Bake-O's 30 - Sea Stags 17 |
---|
Bake-O's rise up and smite Sea Stags with the Mel trophy, sending Karl Sea Staggering from first place in LRMS into last with his third loss in a row. That, if nothing else, should demonstrate the parity that is running rampant in the UFFL this year. From first to last in one week. Amazing! Of course, if he'd taken my advice and started Randy Moss he'd've...well, ok, he still would've lost, but just not as badly. Shim gets 3 TDR's from Cleveland rookie wonder Travis Prentice, re-establishing the electricity ("ionicness" just isn't a word no matter how much I want it to be) in the bond twixt the Browns and the Bake-o's. It all seemed so quaint not so long ago. Who's laughing now, sunshine? Well, I am, actually, because I've already played Dan this year. HA! He beat me, though, rendering my entire point moot. Thanks a lot, buddy. See you at Famous. |

Egomaniacs 29 - Renegade Rebels 17 |
---|
OK, so I was wrong. You do need a kicker. Knnak pays the tithe, picks up Joe Nedney and wallops Carrier in the Battle of the Bills (this week's Battle, even though I didn't mention it last week). This game was 17-17 going into Monday night and the Daunte Culpepper Variety Hour. That, if nothing else, should demonstrate the parity that is running rampant in the UFFL this year. 12 points from Daunte and 14 from Nedney lead the way for Ego. The fact that he started two former TWC WR's didn't hurt him, even though the TWC low-score mojo followed them in the door. Carrier didn't get much of anything from anybody and slips to 3-3 and deeper into 2nd Place Behind Seattle Blur Hell. He needed a win during Fred's bye to keep pace, and didn't get it. Could prove fateful in the weeks to come, unless the Rebs keep losing. Then it wouldn't be fateful at all, really, just portentous. But isn't that the same thing, though? Hmm. |

Munchen Mavericks 22 - Iron Men 14 |
---|
Corey Dillon was on the bench, so Iron Mens' winning streak remains a figment of Brian's imagination (kinda like Brett and Bill, but I've decided not to flog that particular horse this week). If Dillon had started, his 80 yard TDR would have given the IM a 26-22 win. That, if nothing else, should demonstrate the parity that is running rampant in the UFFL this year. Very little else in this game does that, however. Iron Men continue to struggle, getting points from just Favre and Christie, fall to 1-5, and must be wondering just what in the name of Tony Stark is going on around here. The Mavs make the big move to 3-2-1 and the head of the LRMS class. They're primed for a big second half if they can keep it together. They get the Blur this week, though. Could nip it all in the bud. We shall see. Oh, and Brian's started this "not starting a TE" stuff again. I swear, if he switches back to Wishbone just so he can not start two TE's again, I quit. (not really) |

Outlaws 27 - Lethal Weapon 4 15 |
---|
Jim takes a chance by starting Carney over Gramatica at K. It pays off. Ted takes a chance starting Torry Holt at WR, even though he's on bye. It doesn't pay off. You win some, you lose some. That, if nothing else, should demonstrate the parity that is running rampant in the UFFL this year. What a crapshoot this game can be. Ask Joe V. He knows. Outlaws survive getting only one point from Carney to move into the TOBE lead with a strong win over a punchless LW4. Jeff Garcia might have helped, but who'd've known? No Bonehead for that one. Ted gets TWC in a very interesting game this week, while Outlaws get Sea Stags and a chance to solidfy both their place atop their division and Karl's place at the bottom of his. Or parity could be further demonstrated by a Stag victory and a further mucking-up of the standings. The way this season is going, I predict a tie. |

Rage 30 - Seattle Blur 10 |
---|
OK, so I was wrong twice. McNown was a slouch. Hanson not so much, but Chicago's ooey offensive performance turned the tide for Joe V. Fred got nothing from the top of his lineup, and the Wild Ride comes to a temporary end at 5-0. That, if nothing else, should demonstrate the parity that is running rampant in the UFFL this year. Of course, you know what's probably going to happen when the varsity comes back next week - can you say, "St. Louis vs. Atlanta"? Ouch, babe. Rage gets five FG's from Matt Stover, who has 18 FG's this season and very nearly overtook Wilkins for the league scoring lead. With his bye not coming until Week 14, things could be nip-and-tuck on that one right down to the end. Joe takes on Rod next week in the Battle of Guys Who Lived With Carrier When The League Started. Hey, what ever happened to Cam? Fred gets the Mavs and a big test. Could be 100 points scored in that one...by the Blur... |

The Windmilling Chaos 22 - MacBain's 69th Highlanders 17 |
---|
TWC wins. That, if nothing else, should demonstrate the parity that is running rampant in the UFFL this year. Nah, it's not as if they beat the Blur or anything. It was just MacBain. :-) I was thinking...remember back in the day when they started calling the Bulls the Jordannaires when Michael was scoring all those points? Does that mean we can start calling MacBain the Del Grecian Urns? Once again, Del Greco is all that keeps the Rowdy Scots from a total shambles, scoring 11 of their 17 points. Of course, TWC is no better, Ryan Longwell having scored 56 of 113 total points this season - one point this side of half. So I feel your pain, Rod, but I'm jealous; at least you have a RB that scores. UFFL FUN FACT: This game was the most alphanumerically gifted in UFFL history: 26 characters (MacBain) + 21 (TWC) = 47 total letters, numbers, and spaces in the names of the teams involved. Just thought the lexicographers out there would find that interesting. |
