First things first: We didn’t mean for this to happen.
For those who have not received word yet, there was an incident this past weekend. Luckily, it was not an at ROFF sponsored
event and our insurance company is not liable. It happened like this: We had just started game 2 of our double headed, and
SadriTsonUngStein was down 7-0. It was out first possession of the game. Navid rolls back to pass. The ball goes up headed
towards a fast-as-lightning B Smooth close to the the endzone. Brian, seeing the ball in the air, jumps to grab it. Sherman -
playing for the popular and tall ShermOoreTorFer team – is all over Brian in legitimate man coverage. He too jumps up to
defend the reception. And then, in what was an unbelievable athletic mid-air ballet, the two get tangled up and come down in a
pile of skin, bones, and mud.
Sherman popped up immediately. Brian did not. He instantly knew something was wrong and wasn’t able to stand on his own
strength. It wouldn’t be until Tuesday that the final outcome of that mid-air array of agility would be determined. It is in fact… a
broken foot.
Yes, we broke our own. Brian rarely comes and plays in Central Park due to the fact that he lives 2 hours from the city. But
Sunday he was in Queens, so he made the commute to throw around with some friends. He left the house late, he couldn’t find
parking, and he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend – everything told him not to play, but he did anyway. And we broke him.
Sorry Brian. And to others that look forward to playing with us in the park one day I say this: Don’t be scared or the terrorist
have won! And seriously, what are the odds this would happen again?
Now, let’s talk REAL football now…
Ben Goes Down After Completing the Task At Hand
When I grabbed Big Ben towards the end of the draft, I said to myself “All he has to do is produce in Week 5.” And he did. And
then he went down. And I don’t care. He had one job while on the Tools, and he came through. His 20 points on Monday night
more than made up for the disappointing D that only got me 6, while giving up 14 to Drew Brees. Jacobins suffered with the
loss of Barber (Duckett proved to be a lousy replacement with only 2 points), while Stevens proved to be a great replacement
for Gonzalez, scoring 5 points more than Tony G’s high for the year. In the end, it was a hard fought match that I admittedly
only won because of the depleted (read: lacking Randy Moss, Tiki and Tony) Jacobins.
Colts Beat Five By Three
Hines Ward caught a legitimate TD pass on Monday night. That was it; end of game, Gregg is a genius, great trade. Only it
got called back, and Ward was barley heard from the rest of the night. It was ok, though, because Farve, CJ and Portis had
built up enough of a lead over Five, that Wards 11 points was enough help to get the win. Five suffered from a disappointing
day from Brooks, Keyshawn (who couldn’t be happy to see Dallas score 33 and not get one of those TDs), and Colbert.
Tomlinson proved again why he is a Fantasy owners best friend (21; 5th time this year over 10 points, 3rd time over 20), but
alas, it wasn’t enough to stop the bucking Colts who have now won 3 in a row since their week 2 loss to Nomads.
Nose Busted in Run In With Wall
As Scott nicely pointed out over a beer Monday night, he is 5-0, tied for the best ROFF start on record (Born in 2004 started 5-
0). A win this week against Duckville will not only pretty much guarantee him a playoff spot, but also put him in the ROFF
record books. But let’s go back to Week 5 and talk about that. First off, Scott has surpassed 110 points in every game this
year, lead primarily on Mark Bulger who had 24 points this week, the fourth time this year he’s gone over 20. And while
Westbrook’s injury hurt him, an unbelievable call to use Julius Jones’ backup, Tyson Thomspon, helped him squeak out a
respectable day from his RB’s. Add on Chris Cooley’s best day all year (by double) and the best day all year by the Colts D
(33; their 101 points this season is the best of any Fantasy D… the second best? Cincy with just 70). Nose certainly deserves
credit for Palmer (21), Boldin (35) and Jackson’s return (21), but the story here is the Walls and Trees. Will someone PLEASE
beat this man?
Russian Finally Win Battle. Still Losers of the Cold War
Vick get’s scrapped on game day, but the Russian took no chances, electing to go with Frerotte from the start. Good move, as
Frerotte gave 17 points to the cause. Dom Davis decided he wanted to be a star and added 19, while Gates continued to
impress with 16. Now, none of this was that drastic from any given game this year for Russia. The wild card turned out to be
the great Asian Continent pickup of Joe Jurevicius, who was the laughing stock of every talk radio show, SportsCenter and
every Fantasy site you could find. Meanwhile, he posted 24 points, the best day this season from any WR’s Nick has. Could
Joe be the cog that the propaganda machine was missing? Credit to Brown too who played a good game, especially with a
broken foot: Ronnie Brown did well with 11 (will that decrease with the return of Ricky this week?), and Delhomme. The loss
really came from a season low for Owens (first time he has been under 20 all season), and low showings from Conwell, Dillon
and Evans.
Depleted Nomads No Match For Ravens
Ok, I’m going to get heat for saying this, but I think Josh really stays low to the ground, under the radar. I blink and the guy has
three wins, including two in a row. I blinked last year and he took his 2-2 start and won 8 in a row. This week showed the
diversity of his team, with Fitz and Bryant hitting the 20+ mark, and McGahee and Jones breaking 10 each. If he can put in a
solid D (he’s toyed with Minnesota, Dallas and now Denver) and a consistent QB (Culpepper or Carr???), MwR could fly under
the radar and onto the trophy. Meanwhile, current trophy holder scored a season low with 92 points, due to the bye weeks of
the Chief running backs and the lack of any play by Clayton, Heiden, or the Atlanta D (a season low 3 points).
Tanks Win First One. Consider Enjoying Life
Jason was so happy about his win that he went out and bought a round of beers for everyone! Aw, who am I kidding, no he didn’
t. But he did save a lot of money on his car insurance. Tanks didn’t break any records (his 97 points was only his third best
showing of the year), but a big day from Glenn made up for the lack offense by Lloyd, newly acquired Mason and LJ Smith, who
scored a season low (why am I saying that a lot in this posting?) 3.47 points. Born meanwhile suffered with McNabb’s first sub
20 point game. Born obviously saw that McNabb scored 6.66, took it as a sign of the Devil and shipped him off to Duckville,
USA. It looks like a good move that his RB situation needed, with Green and Davenport down. The team wasn’t all
disappointing, with Troupe doubling his season high, and Coles getting 11.
Bandits Lap Duckville
Ok Brock. – it’s official. I’m scared. You put up 130 in week 1 and lost. You revenged that loss in week two with a .08 victory. In
week 3 you scored 120 and won. Week 4 saw you hit a low with 81 – and won when Born barley broke 70. Now this. 140
points. You season high, and you don’t seem to be showing any signs of slowing down. Brady scored you his season high 30,
Holt hit 22, Alexander 24, Branch 15, and your kicker/defense combined for 28. I am definitely worried about our week 9
showdown, but excited that Holt has a bye that week. Meanwhile, the Quackers continued to struggle, failing to break 71 for the
second time this season. Plummer (soon to be replaced by McNabb) continues to keep himself in the teens, while Andre
Johnson continues to be a bust, this week not even getting you his usual 5 after he pulled up with a calf muscle injury on the
first play of the game. Harrison and McCardell were no great help, and Julius Jones injury made the loss of Fred Taylor that
much worse. Tough times are ahead my friend. Let’s see what McNabb can do for you.
Best of luck to everyone this week.
Swami, 4-3 this week, will be a little delayed this week, but will have his predictions entered by Sunday morning.
