Honestly, this is the Week 8 report

I was just checking last week to see if anybody is out there paying attention. The Dragonriders alerted me to the fact that last week was week 7 and this week was week 8. This week's transactions included the O.C. borrowing 2 players for week 7's game. He rented rb Johnathan Stewart from the Goroos for 100 credits and wr Steve Breaston for 200 credits from the Dragonriders. For week 8, those players return to their former teams. The Goroos also picked up wr Donnie Avery ( St. L) and dropped wr Marvin Harrison. The player of the week was the Goroos rb Westbrook with 70 pts. There was another game this week decided by a single point ( relax Big Uglies, it wasn't your game). You'll have to read on to find out who it was.

Indonesian Apostles 156
Gridiron Gal 120

IA's finally get off their schnyde ( probably not spelled that way) with a much needed win. They were led by wr Santana Moss with 56 pts while the GG's were led by rb Gore with 34 pts.

Belugas 153
Dragonriders 152

Dragonriders fall for the 1st time this year. Belugas win with 2 headed monster of Brees and Tomlinson ( 51,47 pts ). Dragonriders were led by qb Matt Ryan with 41 pts.

Gruesome Goroos 266
Pats' Pride 79

Cory had a tough week with only 4 positions filled in his starting lineup. Goroos stay undefeated, led by Westbrook ( 70 pts) while SD offense scored 30 for the Pride.

Zach 162
Iron Man 129

Zach gains 2nd win of year and is only one game back in weak omega division. Roddy White continues breakout season with 49 pts. while Iron Man was led by qb Rivers (who is actually having a great statistical year as well) with 51 pts.


Bam's Punishers 144
Orange Crush 100

The O.C. isn't doing much crushing this year after everything looked great on draft night. That's what makes the NFL so great though, the unpredictable events that inevitably keep happening. Bam's team moves back to .500 with the win. They were led by Ariz off with 33 pts while the O.C. were led by Dallas' defense with 31 pts.


VY, let it fly 163
The Big Uglies 137

VY takes back sole position of 1st place in the Alpha with big win. They were led by new recruit qb Delhomme with 37 pts while the Big Uglies were led by the Saints offense with 47 pts.

Week 8 in the FHLOG

Greetings! This week it seemed as if the top teams kept winning and the teams that have been struggling are continuing to struggle. The Dragonriders this week reacquired qb D. Anderson, cut Edgerrin James and the O.C. dropped the disappointing Laurence Maroney( with Reggie Bush and Addai injured, as well as drafting Brady, the good fortune continues for the O.C.).

Gruesome Goroos 268
Indonesian Apostles 174

New pickup for the Goroos, Orton comes through with 41 pts, NE off scores 51 in the win. Portis scored 55 for last year's champs who are finding wins tough to come by this year.

Dragonriders 127
Gridiron Gal 68

If only Laurie would have called to put Steven Jackson ( 73 pts on the bench) in for Julius Jones.
Dragonriders stay undefeated, led by A. Bryant with 34 pts. Gridiron Gal was led by Cutler with 18 pts.

Pats' Pride 172
Belugas 111

Adrian Peterson led the charge for the Pride with 51 pts while the Belugas gained 32 pts each from Green Bay's off and def.

Iron Man 177
Big Uglies 176

Poor, poor uglies, whatever did you do to deserve 3, count 'em 3 one point losses. If it makes you feel any better Joe, Walter left Holmes and Gonzalez on the bench so you should have really lost by 25.

O.C. 93
Zach 62

A pitchers' duel. J.T. O'Sullivan scored 26 for the O.C. while Zach was led by Marshawn Lynch with 27 pts.

VY, let it fly 122
Bam's Punishers 96

Now VY is proving they can win with backups as Delhomme and Slaton ( 26, 25 pts) filled in admirably in the victory. Bam's was led by rb Ryan Grant with 34 pts.

Week 6 scores and highlights

A good time was had at Walter's house last Sunday ( bet you wish you were there). If anyone else wants to host a Sunday get-together, let it be known. A few moves were made this week in the league with VY, let it fly trading rb Chris Johnson to the Big Uglies for qb Delhomme. VY also dropped qb Kyle Orton and picked up rb Steve Slaton, Texans. The Goroos picked up qb Orton and the O.C. picked up te Anthony Fasano and dropped te Vernon Davis. The top player of the week was VY, let it fly's qb Tony Romo, broken pinky and all with 63 pts. Now on to the scores and highlights.

Dragonriders 199
Orange Crush 147

It's starting to look more and more like the wildcard will come out of the Beta Division. So that means only the division winner of the Alpha and Omega Divisions will make the playoffs. It's just an observation and there still is a lot of football to be played, but that's what it is looking like right now.

Week 4 scores and highlights

There was a little more clarification this week as to who is going to challenge for the playoffs this year. We still have a few undefeated teams, a few winless teams, and some somewhere in the middle. This week's transactions included the Big Uglies picking up qb Jake Delhomme and wr James Hardy and the O.C. picking up qb J.T. O'Sullivan and dropping qb Matt Cassell. Top player of the week was VY, let it fly's rb Larry Johnson with 69 pts. It would have been nice if I saw that kind of effort out of him last year when he was my 1st rd pick!

Bam's Punishers 152
Indonesian Apostles 116

Next time you see him, I'm sure you'll hear about this one Don. Bam's was led by Ariz off with 45 pts while the IA's were led by Santana Moss with 36 pts.

Dragonriders 187
Big Uglies 145

Riders keep rolling with Boldin scoring 38. Uglies keep hurting led by new addition Delhomme and Saints off each scoring 41.

Gridiron Gal 202
O.C. 121

Good move Dan letting her win so you're not on the couch! All kidding aside, GG's look to have another tough team to contend with. GG's led by Steven Jackson with 49, O.C. led by wr Eddie Royal with 31.

Pats' Pride 172
Iron Man 114

Cory seems to have another top team this year. Jennings provided 40 pts for the Pride while Iron Man, hurt by Willie Parker's injury, was led by qb Philip Rivers with 20 pts.

Gruesome Goroos 82
Zach's team 74

That's not a misprint there. A lot of punting going on in this matchup. The Goroos, hurt by no qb and no Westbrook, squeak out a win. Zach struggled with P. Manning on the bye and no second receiver. Goroos were led by wr Steve Smith ( Car) with 31 pts. Zach was led by wr Roddy White with 19 pts.

VY, let it fly 252
Belugas 179

VY could have easily reached 300 if Turner had a more Turner-like effort and Indy's offense wasn't on the bye. They look to have the strongest team in my opinion. VY was led by Larry Johnson with 69 big points while Brees scored 53 for the Belugas in another tough loss.
