Yo-o-o-o is that what I think? Did I see somethin move? A chill down your spine, your heart fills with fright… not filled by the
things that GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT.
They walk through the walls, with no time to stall… You call the GHOSTBUSTERS… well that's who you call!
I-I ain't, I-I ain't I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
I, I-I ain't afraid I-I ain't, I-I ain't I-I-I, I-I-I ain't afraid of no ghosts
I remember the time, I visited the grave. My life on the line, only my life to save. All by myself, with no one around, did not
understand a hand comin’ out the ground. I knew it wasn't mine, it was somebody else…but I didn't care, I just screamed for
HELP! Then - GHOSTBUSTERS - had strapped to their back, screamin - GHOSTBUSTERS - those 'busters attacked "We are
your friendly neighborhood ghostbusters," that's what they said to me "We are the busters of an ?, G-H-O-S-T"
And that is the official end to Halloween and all Ghostbuster references till next October. Thank you and good night.
Ok, one more (say it with me): Busting makes me feel good!
Bye Week Depleted Tools Can’t Pull Out Last Second Win
I said it all in my posting. What, you didn’t read it? Well it went like this (in a nutshell): With Edge and Martin on a bye, Faulk
did nothing, Patrick Pass fumbled on the same play he got injured on (in the 1st Quarter, no less). Moss, Smith and Toomer
combined for 13.27. Monday Night looked promising with a nice night from Roeth, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Not that Born
looked any better (Manning and Freddy Taylor went into double digits), but we can agree that it wasn’t the big win we all (me)
expected.
Five Shoots Down Ravens
Five continued his flip flop season, scoring 100+ points after an 80+ showing for the third time this year. You just never know
who will show up for Stare. This week, as predicted, Johnson and Galloway both went over 10, combining for 39 points and the
win. Tomlinson had a slow day at 15, but that was a nice double from the previous weeks total of 6. Last weeks other 6
pointer, Bell, also pepped up this week with 19. As for Ravens, Marriage hasn’t been too good to him. The all time winning-est
Franchise in ROFF history has a paltry 4-4 record this year, sitting square at the middle of the pack. He has struggled this year
with the inconsistency of his star QB Culpepper – a problem he will no longer face as Culpepper is done with this tour of duty in
the Lukin Organization. The sad thing is that when he left in the first quarter he had 2.65 points – still half a point better than
his Week 1 output.
Blade Edges Out Nose
Oh yes, it cuts like a knife. But it feels so right. Collins to Porter has never looked better as each hit 26 thanks to the other.
The 149 stomping of Nose was a season high for a team that has improved from 2-4 to 4-4. Nose meanwhile is hit with just his
third loss this season – even though opponents have outscored him by 47 points. Palmer returned to old form with a 27 point
showing, and Steven Jackson virtually tied last weeks 21. The 130 point showing was his second best of the year, but - alas -
not enough to beat the Blade
Jacobins Defeat the Undefeated
7-0 was unprecedented. And that is where the bar is set. Watson’s Walls finally failed to break the 100 mark (Watson is calling
it the Curse of the Website since I called him out on it this week). The team struggled without Bulger (who was averaging 21
points per game before his injury). Lamont continues to be a beacon of light, and Westbrook has really stepped it up in the last
two weeks (16 per). But this game was about the Jacobins, finally breaking their 7 week trend of declining result, Brees, Barber
and Gonzalez had their best games of the year (30, 21 and 19 respectively). Add on the Giants 28 points and you have a 130
point showing (second only to his week 1, 132 showing). Poor Watson. Not only does he finally lose, but the Giants defeat of
his beloved Redskins contributed to it. Talk about adding insult to injury. Hey Watson – I hate you no more.
Ducks Win Just By the Skin of His Bill
It came down to 18 measly points Monday night. And Ward pulled in 13 of them. One more TD catch and I would have had a
win, and so would Colts. But it wasn’t meant to be. Duckville has now won two in a row, going over 100 points in both game –
notable because these games ARE the McNabb era for the ‘Villes (note: McNabb was acquired prior to Week 6, but was on a
bye that week). McNabb’s 25 helped contribute to an overall cause – Givens had 10, Robinson 15, and Stecker (yes, Stecker)
10. It was a slow climb to 100 for the Ducks, but Colt’s Farve struggling and a slow day for Portis (4 points – season low) was
enough to give Ducks the win.
Brock’s Hits New Low, as propoganda Hits High
Last week we spoke about Brock’s lowest showing of the year with 67 points. Well, this week, going into Monday Night with less
than 30, I thought the Tools had a chance to best that record. And while the Tools did do worse (62), the Bandits kept their
position on the bottom with a miserable 59.97 showing. With Holt hurt, Alexander on a bye, and Brunell, Rudi, and McMichael
hitting season lows (a combined total of 12 points), the Bandits never had a shot. Indeed, Chris Perry and Dieon Branch are
the only two players to break 10 points this week. As for propoganda, while he failed to break 100 for the 8th week in a row,
98.31 came very close to his yearly high of 98.51. And honestly, I could sit here and bore you, telling you that Davis had 9 (he
did), Sproles had 7 (also true) and the Washington D played great (ok, that’s not true), but the only thing you care about is that
Gates had 37, doubling his season high of 18.8. Big Red has surprisingly 3 wins, even with the lowest points scored this
season.
Nomads Spank Tank
It was the rematch Sherman had been waiting for all year – the rematch of ROFF Bowl III, where Navid squeaked out an 11
point victory. This year, Navid looks headed to his second ROFF Bowl in as many years, while Tanks look headed to the Toilet
Bowl. Would Tanks get their revenge? Um, no. And it was never in question: While Nomads racked up the points with Housh
(16), McNair (17), Davis (16) and kingpin Steve Smith (32), Sherman suffered without Manning (bye week), Jamal Lewis
(benched), and pathetic performances by Smith (2.2), the Philly D (hitting the negatives after a 21 point performance last
week), and Terry Glen (7). This year Tanks have been outscored by opponents by 133 points. At 1-7, Tanks has nothing to
do but look forward to the 2006 draft.
Best of luck to everyone this week.
Swami, 3-4 this week, will be have predictions entered by the Friday night.
