The Pen: Week 6 Standings & Summaries

[Flugel]

Woof Packs in the Pen

WOOF PACK I

Hammertime 113 BrownOut 47
As usual, Peyton Manning was the star of another football matchup with 27 points. This was a big reason Hammertime won and improved to 3-3 on the season. Normally, when the opponent has Tom Brady leading their scoring - it’s in an ideal position to win. However, the following starters: Golden Tate, Josh Cribbs and Earnest Graham combined to score 0 points to make that undoable. BrownOut is now 1-5 but they aren’t about to panic nor should they.

Thaaktown 108 Cleveland Crennels 94
Dwayne Bowe and Joe Flacco scored 33 and 23 points, respectively to lead Thaaktown to victory. The Cleveland Crennels competed hard as 6 different starters scored in double figures with Santanna Moss leading the charge with 15 points. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough. Both teams are now 3-3 and strategizing how they can get an edge on the rest of the competition.

Team DangeRuss 120 Port City Blazers 112
Team DangeRuss joined the winning society on Sunday with all but their kicker contributing double digit points. DeSean Jackson led the way with 20 points as DangeRuss improved to 1-5. The Port City Blazers dropped to 3-3 in spite of the 26 points from Chris Johnson and 22 from Johnny Knox.

Comets 131 WV Hoopies 115
The Comets had just enough stars to outscore the WV Hoopies this past weekend. Greg Jennings scored 30 points and Ryan Torain produced 28 more for the Comets. The WV Hoopies received 27 points from Arian Foster, 26 points from Drew Brees and 23 more from Thomas Jones as they kept the score close all the way until the final whistle. The Comets are now 4-2 while the WV Hoopies are 3-3.

FBrulz 139 Brady Backers 110
FBrulz bounced back this week to defeat the Brady Backers. Jeremy Maclin led the scoring with 39 points and Aaron Rodgers was next with 28. FBrulz improved to 2-4 which positions them right in the thick of the playoff hunt. The Brady Backers received a nice game from Andre Johnson in the form of 32 points; but it wasn’t enough as they dropped to 3-3.

Drink Beer 142 Jax Pumpkin Heads 137
The Jax Pumpkin Heads entered this matchup with a great deal of confidence as they should have. They’ve been putting together a strong season so they want to be rewarded with 1st place. Understanding that in order to be #1, they had to beat the team currently ranking #1. There is no better way to rise to the challenge than scoring 137 points behind Matt Schaub’s 29 points and Brandon Marshall’s 27 points. This pretty much left Drink Beer with 0 margin of error to work with. And much to the delight of Drink Beer, they had a 60 minute happy hour special where all their starters but the kicker scored in double figures. Steven Jackson had the team high of 22 points and Ahmad Bradshaw was right behind him with 21 points as Drink Beer pulled out the victory. The Pumpkin Heads are tied for 2nd place with a 4-2 record while Drink Beer improved to 6-0.

WOOF PACK II

Waiting for Noodles 85 RPrepublic 84
Waiting for Noodles had the winning ingredients to improve to 5-1. This included 5 players with more than 10 points as Rashard Mendenhall finished with a team-high of 18. RPrepublic actually had the fire power to pull this one out; because they collected 26 points from Drew Brees, 22 from Johnny Know and 21 from Ahmad Bradshaw. But, they tallied 0 points from Mohamed Massaquoi and Jerome Harrison while the Cleveland Defense only gave them 1 point. RPrepublic dropped to 1-5 but learned just how close they are to beating a team with only 1 loss.

Ramrod Munchers! 129 WarrenDawg 124
The Munchers improved to 3-3 thanks in large to the 27 point effort of Peyton Manning. DeSean Jackson chipped in 20 more points while Felix Jones and the Titans Defense contributed 19 apiece to help their team to the preferred side of a close matchup. This is a great team so they always remained confident in their ability to win. The Munchers have been looking forward to a certain matchup that takes place next weekend. They don’t even want to lose the coin toss in that showdown. WarrenDawg regrets the decision to start TO during his bye week because it diluted the 32 points from Andre Johnson and 29 from Matt Schaub. WarrenDawg is now 3-3 but feeling like this was the learning experience necessary for their run at the playoffs. Stay tuned...

Ramrods 118 Bulldogs 99
Ramrods addressed his team after the matchup: “I’m proud of every damn one of you squids! We loaded the short bus this weekend with just the right intensity. I got goose bumps when I had to break up a fight between our water boys. Those little goofballs set the tone and it was infectious. Congrats! When you play like that you can RIDE the bus home after games instead of pushing it.” When this columnist asked Ramrods what would happen if his team was to lose next week vrs the Ramrod Munchers? “Shakespeare, if that happens – Evil Kneival is driving us home if our bus clears the jump over the Grand Canyon. I need them all focused so don’t point out any high scorers from this week.” Okay, Ramrods team all worked hard enough to improve to 3-3. Meanwhile the Bulldogs got 26 points from Chris Johnson, 16 from Tony Gonzalez and a lot of drool from their mascot UGA as they dropped to 2-4.

Golfer704u 100 SMWHREOVRDWAYNEBOWE 97
This matchup had an unbeaten team facing a winless team. Therefore, the score wasn’t supposed to be close was it? Guess what? The winless team was on that yellow brick road thinking, “there’s no place like home.” Nothing seemed like it was going to knock them off that course Golfer shouted "FOUR", which means get out of the way. The reason this happened was because Joseph Addai put 21 points on the scoreboard and Anquan Boldin chipped in another 16 to lead golfer704u to their 6th consecutive win. SMWHREOVRDWAYNEBOWE has to be left wondering what it takes to win; especially when Tony Romo and Pierre Garcon combined for 51 points. They are getting much closer to that post game Gatorade celebration with the Head Coach. Their next opponent Seymore Winz isn’t exactly looking forward to facing them.

Dirty Dawgs 138 BIG Dawgs 105
The Dirty Dawgs captured the attention of the entire league this last weekend. They scored 138 points while starting 2 players on their bye weeks that combined for a point total of 0. Kevin Kolb helped considerably with 34 points while Calvin Johnson assisted with 30 points. The Dirty Dawgs improved to 5-1 to show the 1st place Golfer they are not going to allow much room for error. The BIG Dawgs continued to show people they are for real too as they had 6 starters produce double digit scores topped off by the 23 points from Thomas Jones.

Seymore Winz 130 BernietheKid 110
Joe Flacco and Steven Jackson combined for 45 points to lead Seymore Winz to their 3rd straight victory. It seemed to be a well balanced attack as all but 1 starter scored in double figures. BernietheKid got 28 points apiece from Aaron Rodgers and Ryan Torian as they dropped to 3-3.

Yes sirrrrrrr.....

I have been away training since Saturday for this game. Havent gone to my office or anything. Should be a good one. Winner gets to the playoffs and the loser probably doesnt. Good luck, but dont hate me if I get a fine like Harrison did last week. I play to hurt people.

Nope, like the two teams that should have better records than they do type of teams. Colts? Dallas? Something like that.

Much better. There's no positive talk about the opponent in rivalry week.

Save that for next week when you're complimenting my victory.

The #1 fantasy TE in the NFL just got put on IR - Dallas Clark. This is a major setback if you are his owner like me....Had season ending wrist surgery.

I HEAR ya Jax! I had Dallas-in-Chains in my money league; but I was relieved to see Dustin Keller available for the taking. I also had Jermichael Finley in one our leagues. The good news is fantasy teams rarely keep more than 1 TE so there's usually someone decent available. When this happens at RB, it's slim pickings.

Next year I'm only doing 2 leagues. That means I'll be recruiting someone to run 1 of our 2 leagues in here so I only have to play once. I'm having a blast but now I know how the Joey Bottabopya's feel when they're in too deep. You just gotta go with it and enjoy cracking the enemy's ribs every week. Although my Seymore Winz have had more sand kicked in their face than that poor nerd in the comic book ads needing the Roger Clemons solutions. Nothing says kick ass better than selling the souls RIGHT James Harrison? Pre steroid cocktails - that puke couldn't make the team. Now he has 36 inch neck circumference that depleted theCleveland browns of 2 starting WRs in 1 game.

In case anyone else enjoys the rivalry between the 2 teams with Ramrod in their name - they've combined for 7 drop/adds this week. They turned league 2 into the fantasy football version of CareerBuilder.Com. Rumor has it when the Munchers interviewed Jason Avant and asked where he saw himself in 5 weeks - he replied: "Let's put it this way, you'll be fetching my coffee!" The inevitable response was "you're freakin hired!" Is this the first fantasy football league to get an invite to the Jerry Springer show? We shall see so stay tuned...

Golfer and the Dirty Dawgs square off for first place in Woof Pack II. Meanwhile, there's 7 teams either at 3-3 or 2-4 jockeying for post season eligibility in Pack II. Woof Pack I has 9 teams between 4-2 and 2-4 so there's plenty of key matchups impacting playoff qualifications there as well.
