Week 4

Dirty Birds (109.00) vs Fobsters (44.50)
This is an embarrassment. Heading into Monday night, Jimmy only had 20+ points on the board. That’s um. Disgusting. Not one player on the Fobsters notched double digit points – well, three did, but they’re on the bench. Here’s a ticket to NFL Europe Jimmy, see you next year.

RazoRamon (129.00) vs Jedi Knights (95.00)
Nice, a real game to review. The Knights were the king of the hill coming into Week 4. Three straight wins, an outstanding roster, and plenty of power behind their running and passing game. Well, running into a razor’s edge surely stopped the Jedis cold didn’t it? Led by MVP-candidate Randy Moss (26.5), Ryan’s team punished the Knights on the ground (Joseph Addai, 21.5) and through the air (Jason Witten, 16).

Lum’s team is still looking pretty spectacular with Tom Brady and Carson Palmer leading the charge but now that Steven Jackson is nutted up, maybe the ground game will falter a bit. The Jedis weren’t really relying on the disappointing Jackson anyway though, since young WRs Braylon Edwards, Roy Williams, and Bernard Berrian (37.5 pts combined) are growing up fast. WR Andre Johnson remains sidelined for the Knights and until he and Jackson return, the Jedis could be in for a rough few weeks.

Old English (176.00) vs babysrus (98.50)
Man, those Old English bastards are good aren’t they? After coming out of the gate with two 150+ scores, they put up a doozy of a week with 176 this week to thoroughly trash the babysrus’. Early season MVP Tony Romo slapped up 34 points, Peyton Manning and WR Santonio Holmes connected for 27 points each, and RB Ronnie Brown went wild for a second week in a row (29). The only bad news facing this team is the loss of LaMont Jordan, possibly for a week or two.

Gene’s team on the other hand, is scoring and making a league-leading 18 waiver moves, but they sure aren’t winning. Donovan McNabb had a piss poor day (4 pts), Willie Parker and Terrell Owens flopped, and only rookie stud in the making WR Dwayne Bowe (26) came out to play on Sunday. When will Gene get a win? How about if people stop putting up ridiculous games against him? The last three weeks have seen opponents explode for 147, 162, and now 176 points. Gene must play no defense – only dragons.

Brown Stars (102.50) vs Nacho Libre’s (87.50)
The battle of two bottom feeders resulted in Galvez pulling out a sneaky win versus Hong. Both teams have lost three games already this young season so pride was on the line. Who needs pride when you’ve got big muscles like Galvez though? QB Matt Hasselbeck pumped out 20 points, Larry Johnson had a respectable 15.5 points, and four other players contributed double digits to push the Stars over the hump for a big win, their first. They probably could have won by a bit more if Laurence Maroney had been pulled but really, who knew he was going to be sitting out Monday night?

Hong’s big game plan these days is to play BOTH Chargers’ running backs. They combined for 21.5 points. LDT had 23.5, Michael Turner had -2. Whoops. In good news, the Seahawks defense is super sleeper and has been stellar this season (16 this week). It’s nice of Hong to match the real life Chargers’ 1-3 record but he should really aim higher – snatching DeShaun Foster off waivers was a nice move though.
