Hello all...due to travel, work and family commitments the update is very late this week. Setting the stage for Week Ten is a bet Taylor and I made at halftime of our draft when I was looking at the schedule to find a QB to fill in for Rogers. My daughter, ( Happy Birthday dear ) suggested I pick up Vince Young, but I didn't like the matchup versus the ball control Dolphins. I selected Joe Flacco instead. She hated the pick. I thought the Falcon secondary is suspect and the Ravens would be behind. Well, after the first half, in which the Falcons controlled the ball for 22 minutes, and Delaware Joe had just 31 total yards passing and not even sniffed the opponents 50..I was serious pissed. So I was partially right..the Ravens were behind. I just kept thinking, I should have played Kyle Orton...the second half went much better..Flacco threw for 3 scores and had 16 points...a nice recovery. So if Young scores under 16, I'm enjoying Stella's and crab fries on my designated driver daughter. On to Week Nine, where it was another example of 'Roid rage, and a well designed upset from a very happy father and son duo in Franklin, Mass.
NORTHBORO (6-3) 108
GARVEY'S GANGSTERS (7-2) 45
I'm watching the games down in Georgia ( after thoroughly enjoying my nephew's lead performance in Godspell the night before- great job Jesus ).... when John and I saw Turner and Foster run for two first quarter scores....Bob had 30 points by 1:30 as Rivers joined the party....it reminded me of an old country song..." Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug"..Gangsters had bye issues but he could have used all 18 players and it wouldn't have mattered. Only in our league would the first place guy possibly lose by 62 points.
NORTHERN SPIES (3-6) 57
DANGEROUS MINDS (5-4) 52
Great play by Team DesLauriers using Mark Sanchez as I'm sure the boys saw the matchup versus improved by still susceptible Detroit. It was actually a Sanchez sneak in the 4th quarter that would actually be the winning margin. Brandon Jackson ran like another RB who wore # 32 and scored lots of TD's.... remember the guy in the white Bronco??
For the Commish I knew trouble was afoot when Gates hurt his...also no Gore didn't help. But Megatron got drowned in Reavis Island, and both Donald Brown and Forte lost short TD's to back ups..I've said it before, if the Saints don't get their RB situation squared, I'm a very average club.
GEORGIA SATELLITES (7-2) 61
ROCKY BROOK OILERS (3-6) 37
The only bright spot here was if you but the Oilers and got the 25 points you were a winner. No CJ2K which led to just a paltry 5 points from the RB's was the death knell here for Tom. It must be clean living for John because the Satellites do just enough to win( except for the Week Six ass kicking of the Commish ). Drew Brees was solid with 13, and the Steeler duo of Ward and Mendenhall also chipped in.
PHTIN CAMELS (3-6) 72
MIDWEST MARAUDERS (2-7) 33
Another head scratcher for the Champs as they just can't get the consistency going. Andre Johnson's ankle is a pain in the ass for the boys from Chi'town. I told John Sunday morning, watch out for AP this week..he's going to be huge, and he was with 19 nuggets. Also a heathy Deshawn Jackson and an accurate David Akers chipped in big as well.
THURDAY NIGHT EARLY RETURNS
With a real hit or miss schedule..( How many families will be trimming the tree in December to the Cowboys at Cardinals?)..the NFL Network slammed one out of the park in their week one with the Ravens at Atlanta, where the Falcons never lose these days. Some folks did pretty pretty well last night, while others know the climb may be tougher after who did or didn't come thru.
BIG WINNERS Rocky Brook....I'm sure if he was watching from the comfortable Owners suite with a Yingling in his hand. Tom was chubbin to see Matty Ice hit for three scores and Boldin pop one in too. If he was watching from his office, hopefully the beer and the chub were well hidden by a cooler and a newspaper. Midwest - 18 from Rowdy Roddy White including the game winner late gives Hugh the jump on the Satellites. Dangerous Minds - 16 from Flacco, all in the second half. In a week where Garv will be starting 6 Giants..and MJD and Peyton home, I'm overall pretty happy with the output.
LOSERS Not a good night for the hometown Satellites.. just four from Ray Rice, and Tony Gonzalez ( 1 ) was busy watching Roddy White run amok. 2 starters+ 5 points+ no Brees could = a loss. Not a bad math equation from a guy who was thrilled to pass Baby Math I in college. Not much depth in the CAMEL backfield this week as Magahee realized he wasn't playing me had a zero. Not everyone in Atlanta enjoyed the Air Coryell imitation last night..who might they be..Michael Turner owners of course..the Burner burned his owners with just one point. But shed no tear for Team Jordan...with Macfadden on the bye Bob trots out the great white hope in Peyton Hillis but not a great matchup versus the Jets. The Spies are taking this anti Lion thing to a new level..with byes and injuries Rich is starting not one, but 2 Bills RB versus Detroit.
GAME OF THE WEEK
More prime time love for the Gangsters as they head to Jersey and take on the Dangerous Minds. The Mob Boss won the last game by one point in a game that still haunts me. A Commish loss opens the door for a 3-6 team to get back in the race. Gangsters have some good matchups so look for high scoring..for me to stay close, the RB's have got to help out.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND EVERYBODY AND JOHN SEND GOOD LUCK WISHES TO PETE IN STATES
THE COMMISH AKA UNCLE MIKE
