The Commish Speaks - Week 8

An early update this week as the Commish and family Thursday afternoon head south to the home quarters of the Georgia Satelites. This was a crazy and competitive week as several games went right down to the wire Monday night. Before we begin just some random thoughts from around the league.

  • How badly out of shape is McNabb..being benched by Rex Grossman when the game is on the line? And to add injury to insult, Ryan Leaf wannabe JaMarcus Russell worked at in DC today.
  • Colt punter Mac Affee, first name forgotten, ( hell I didn't know Carpenter's first name either until I picked him up on waivers this week-- I think his name is Jesus ) was suspended by the team one game for public intoxication. When asked why he was swimming in an Indianapolis lake in the middle of night, he answered politely, " because I'm drunk officer ". Mamma Mac told him never to lie.
  • And finally Randy Mutt Moss...what a pooch..the hug he gave Belichek after the game I thought was a prelude to sex..I've never seen BB hold an embrace so long.
  • Speaking of after game well wishes...BB heads to Cleveland this week where I'm sure he'll be having a cold one with former disciple Eric Mangini...I'm sure the only thing cold there will be the shoulder that Mangenius gets after the game. On to the recap:


GEORGIA SATELITES (6-2) 46
PHTIN CAMELS (2-6) 46
*** JOHN WINS ON BENCH POINTS 25-5 ***

At least the Satelite owner will be in good spirits when the Commish rolls into town Friday morning. His mood I'm sure will be cheery when two days EARLIER our Mother in Law ventures in the Peach state for an even longer visit. Monday night was a treat for the SATS as Adam Veniteri had several clutch FG's ( 13 pts ), and I'm sure the last Leinenkugel at Summitt was savored when Shaub, leading Tony's Camels to a garbage time TD and the upset, fumbled at the Colt 15. Tony rolled the dice on 2 Bill WR's and came up empty with Evans. Hines Ward is pacing himself for Week 13, ( he had a goose egg last week ). Along with Garv, John gets another schedule break as he gets the Oilers without Chris Johnson. What time do we hit the Summitt Sunday afternoon?

GARVEY'S GANGSTERS (7-1) 62
NORTHERN SPIES (2-6) 57

Sebasten Janikowski continues to drop weight at an alarming rate as the Raiders go postal for a second straight week. In examing the box score with his beloved Giants on a bye, the Mob Boss makes two great spot plays with Ricky the Weed Williams ( 8 ) and Marcedes Lewis the Cadallac of tight ends also chippin in with two scores. That was well played. For the game Spies, another RB goes down as Torrain who was a smart waiver pick is out, but he is on a bye at least next week. Brandon Marshall is playing like his intitals, BM...but on a bright WR note, Larry Fitzgerald celebrated Easter as he rose from the fantasy dead with two scores. I can't fault Fitzy as he has no one to throw him the ball. I'm sure he's hoping Curt Warner gets voted off Dancing with the B List Stars and comes back for one last run in the very mediocre NFC WEST where Mike Singletary has plaoff tickets printed up.

ROCKY BROOK OILERS (3-5) 45
MIDWEST MARAUDERS (2-6) 37

Here's the headline from this game: Marauders killed by Blount object. EXCELLENT pick up by Mr. Crossen who pulled no punches with this waiver selection as 18 points in the books led the way in this tight game. How many owners moped around all week after not having Kenny Britt in their lineups last week..( 29 points and seven beers later ) ouch. This week against a suspect SD pass defense he pulls a hamstring in the first quarter en route to a bagel number on the stat sheet. Disappointing loss for Hughie who was on a roll. Two key points: SJAX only 2 versus Carolina and Zack Miller's injury on a day when Jason Campbell looked like Daryl Lamonica.

DANGEROUS MINDS (5-3) 74
NORTHBORO STEROIDS (5-3) 64

If you had told me that I would score 74 points with the following: A-Rog with 3 - yes 3 points as he drowned in Revis Island, and two zeros from Chris Ivory( boy do I hate Saint Running Backs ) and Donald Brittle Brown, I would have checked your arms for track marks and had Rich D arrest you. Well, that's what happened. I won the game on the hands of Calvin Johnson ( 23 ) and the leg of Dan Carpenter (19). Bob scored well, but the killer was the zero from Mutt Moss against an improving but still young secondary. I had a 31 point lead going into Monday and the talents of Wayne and Foster made this close.

I picture Bob coming into the office this morning at 7:30..not touching emails, phones or a meeting with the Boss. He goes right to his lineup and removes the Mutt for the up and coming Mike Williams. I won't be surprised if we meet again in December.



GAME OF THE WEEK
NORTHBORO VS GANGSTERS


Rivers should absolutely feast against the worst pass defense in the league..look for 3 scores and over 300 yards in a game that should resemble a track meet. All three Jordan backs are at home. Garv welcomes back his NFC friends to the lineup this week and he says goodbye to his new best friend Lewis and also MJD. Rich has good depth at WR and has tough tough choices for his lineup. He's better be ready because I see points coming fast and furious from the angry Jordanians.

JOHN MY FRIEND, HAVE THE MUGS CHILLED BECAUSE WORK HAS BEEN A BEAR LATELY. BE WELL ALL.

COMMISH
