Week 8 Summary - Far Less Drama

Week 8 and its aftermath will be far less dramatic than Week 7 as separation exists in the scoring and I doubt we'll see any adjustments affecting the results. Drama came to the league this week in the form trades as Hauser and Smith/Kim/Wright pulled a biggie and Ashby and Harris decided to make out a little.

Average score dropped to 90.35 pts this week from last week's 99.99. Just one team put up over 110 pts, a match with both scores in the 70's, and a sub-50 for the books all explain the drop in scoring.

The average margin of victory grew to 22.3 pts from last week's too close for comfort and restless nights 13.5 pts. Mike D. went from being on the receiving end of the beat down to giving it out as he stomped on Harris by a margin of 41.1 pts. This marks the 2nd week in a row when Madge's opponent couldn't take advantage of his lower scores. This concerns me as it may mean his season is charmed, or perhaps it is an indication that Madge's streak is about to end as his scoring continues to fall off...


Performer of The Week:

Much like the simply misunderstood Michael Myers who just wanted to go home, Devo has returned from the mental institute and with 135.6 points, he took top spot this week. 38.6 points from Rodgers and 40 from Chris Johnson are a nice foundation for the week.

No honourable mentions this week as nobody else cleared the 110 point mark.

Senorita Of The Week:

Oh Harris. 47.5 points. A new low, even for you. I'm amused by the irony that someone who claims to be an HR professional makes such horrible personnel decisions. Trading with Tim is also a poor choice.


7-1 Club:

Ugh. Madge. Again. I'm disturbed by this. I'm more disturbed by the reports I'm receiving from the staff of the club. We've never had to hire a fecal removal service before.

The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:

Lance - Mark Sanchez, 32 pts. I would personally like to thank you for starting Alex Smith. Your mufin basket is on the way.

Kevin - Matt Hasselbeck, 26.2 pts. (Not enough to matter, but enough to hurt and make you question your thinking.


State of the League:

A couple of big winning streaks - Madge (7-1) on a 7 game bender, and Gregor (6-2) with a chippy 5 game streak. Devo (6-2) is hanging in there, but I'm still not buying it. Hauser and Alls are sitting at 5-2 with Fusco and Lance at 4-4.

A monster of a losing streak for Harris (7 games of heartbreak) puts him in the basement with Kevin who has a 2 game losing streak going. Kevin is volatile and I would urge caution when speaking to or possibly trading with him. Harris has changed his goals for the seasons multiple times in conversation going from wanting to finish in the top half to just wanting to beat Ashby to now wanting to cut himself repeatedly.
