A brief editorial note prior to this week's summary: As regular readers will know, my retirement has allowed me to provide such regular and excellent content to you due to a dedication of man hours and a desire to not not just share my innermost thoughts and emotions, but to entertain as well. Well, in what can only be considered rather sad news, my retirement has ended. I have taken a job running a furniture factory in the industrial area of Nairobi. The end of retirement is just one week old, but I trust you'll understand that the long hours spent at the office will result in a later than usual delivery time of this fine publication. But for now, onto the summary:

Scoring dropped sharply this week as only 2 teams managed to score in the triple digits. Combine that with 2 scores in the 50's and you the average drops all the way to 84.4 pts from last week's 101.3 pts. This was an ugly week with lots of players on bye weeks and of course the fantasy death of both my original QBs. The average margin of victory, however grew slightly again to 25.6 pts from 21.7 pts as 3 matches were decided by 30+ pts and just one close one this week.

Performer of The Week:

Madger the Angry Badger, 118.6 points. His fight with Tim will continue and we shall all be amused.


Honourable mention to Gregor (106.8), the only other team to make it over 100 pts.

Senorita Of The Week:

This was actually the closest contest this week as Devo's score of 57.5 was able to squeak just below a name seen often in this space - Mike D. and his 58.7 pts. Well done Devo, you suck.

The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:

Just the one close one this week as Jeff clipped Kevin by 2.2 pts. I predict Kevin's only solace will be in European clothing sized for Asians. Think about it.

The 6-2 Club:

I was so over-joyed at defeating Ashby last week that I must admit that I wasn't quite looking in the rear-view mirror. And much to my surprise, Harris has snuck into the leader's lounge. I'll play nicely as he's new to this kind of thing. I'll maybe even give him a few tips like which fork to use and how easy it is to beat Ashby.

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

Kevin Andrachuk could have used Michael Bush AGAIN this week. Or even Ryan Matthews.

State of The League:

Fusco - Still good and leading. But his leadership, much like his grip on reality is slipping away.

Harris - Surprisingly frisky and good. Although, less good than Fusco.

Ashby, Madge, and Eric/Pat/Sunny - tied for 3rd place at 5-3. Ashby on the slippery slope. EPS - thankful for this week to be over as I've never seen that many guys on a bye week. And then there's Madge. No comment on Madge.

Gregor, Lance, Jeff, and Kevin. .500 hundred. Heads or tails?

Hauser and Mike D. at 2-6. I'm surprised you guys haven't swallowed a revolver yet. This, friends, is bad. Intervention time.

Devo, 1-7. Wow. That's nearly Kevin Andrachuk bad.
