HANDSOME
BROCK'S BANDITS
Still the best team in the league and the gap between him and the rest of us is getting wider. Moss and Brady have been fantastic and Gonzalez
(Brock's only weak spot) might get a boost by the absence of Marvin Harrison. The RB's are a small weak point as Rudi has been injured and
inconsistent. Great game this week from Leon Washington though as that might add to the depth of the Bandits.

BORN TO RUN MY MOUTH
On draft the QB ratings were pretty consensus. The top 5 were Manning, Brady, Brees, McNabb and Bulger and the supposed "second tier" guys
were Rivers, Cutler and Romo. Well not only is Romo the best of the second tier guys (by far), he's also better than three of the top tier guys (by far).
Romo and TJ have been the backbone of Rich's team but he's gotten stable work from McGahee and Alexander. He's depth is just decent but he
might be getting a huge upgrade with Dominic Rhodes coming off the "I smoked the Pot" suspension next week.

I'm going to partially blame Parker's loss this week on not knowing the situation with Brian Westbrook. That was simply not fair. The injury bug is
starting to hit Parker though with not only Westbrook hurt but the extremely automatic Marvin Harrison probably out in week 5. Once again the QB
situation is hurting Parker as Cutler has been decent at best. I do think, however, that when healthy Parker has the best RB combo and great depth
with guys like James Jones, Bobby Engram and DeAngelo Williams on his bench.
GOOD-LOOKING
BUSHMARONEY'07
Lukin gets to start his namesake for the first time in a couple of weeks as Bush and Maroney are go's in week 5. Josh's wide receivers look pretty
good on paper but he has to hope for a turn around from Colston and for Jennings to remain healthy. Baltimore's D has been relatively week so far
this season but they have a tremendous matchup this week against the 49ers with Dilfer starting. I'll be taking on Josh this weekend… good luck stud.
CUTE
FIVE SECOND STARE
Well I thought my team was good but Brockman smoked me last week. I gotta scare from LaMont Jordan last week but he seems to be OK. I loved the
Michael Pittman pick at the draft and that might pay off now that Carnell is done for the year. I've finally given in and am starting Favre this week. The
first time he's started for me (without my other QB on bye) since 2004. What can I say? I like my team, I hope it keeps getting better.
ATTRACTIVE
NOMADS IN THE DEEP
Navid's team is quite up and down. One week they look like a Toilet Bowl team, the following week they look like a ROFF Bowl Champion. You have to
give him credit for being 2-2 with guys like Larry Johnson and Frank Gore underperforming and his first two picks being a total disappointment (Bulger)
and an injury disappointment (Walker). No one takes advantage of other ROFF players mistakes (Jason - Crayton and Me - Furrey) like Navid. His
team obviously needs more consistency to be a threat, but if they get that down, the Nomads are a team to beat.
DECENT
SHERMTANKS
This fantasy game we play is funny. Two weeks ago Jason was distraught with his team and thought he was headed straight for the toilet bowl. Two
weeks later, the Tanks (II) are 2-2 and on the up and up. Drew Brees has clearly been awful but Jason's got nice play from his starting 3 wide
receivers and LDT finally started the turnaround and should continue to be fantastic till week 16. The Tanks (II) rock the second best RB duo in the
league and have the luxury of having Sammy Morris (and I actually really mean that).

FIGHTING BLUE CRABS
Gregg's team seems to be coming back to planet earth with a couple of L's in a row. Peyton Manning is still amazing but as last week proved, unless
all three of his big 3 (Manning, Johnson, and Owens) perform, Gregg will have a hard time winning. He needs more consistency from his RB's to hold
on to his top 5 position as teams like the Horses and Jacobins are hot on his tail. Gregg's B-day is coming up folks, don't forget it.

NEW JERSEY JACOBINS
The more and more I like Dave's team the worse and worse they perform. So I'm going to Dave a little favor and start disliking them….. I can't do it.
Dwayne Bowe was an excellent pick as he's been putting up better numbers than Calvin Johnson. Travis Henry has to start getting in the end zone
and Jon Kitna might be the better QB on his team, but I still like Dave's position in the league and I still think he remains a strong contender.

David Carr is starting for Scott. I tried this trick a couple of years ago and it did not work out… at all. I thought Scott had a good draft but Maurice
Jones-Drew has been awful this season and Delhomme's numbers are good but that's based on one really strong week. Coles has been great but
Moss has been awful. The best pick is still Wes Welker who’s got twice as many fantasy points as Moss. I'm not too sure which direction Scott's team
is going because in this league, on any given week, any given team, can grab 140 points.
NOT GOOD LOOKING
RANDOM THOUGHTS
A very strong bounce back win for Brian and a well deserved one. That's two weeks in a row Brian's team performed extremely well. He continues to
get strong play from Jason Witten and Ronnie Brown and will benefit from the return of Calvin Johnson and Steven Jackson (eventually). Rivers will
start this week as Culpepper (fantastic pick up) and B. Yeung will have to hope for a season turnaround. If Brian gets a W this week you can put it on
the board he'll make the playoffs.

Jarrett's team has been a disappointing one this year. His wide receivers have not been as good as anticipated. On paper they're the best, but their
performances have been inconsistent. Speaking of inconsistent, Eli Manning is still Eli Manning. Marshawn Lynch has been pretty good this season
and LenDale White has filled in the void nicely but he has no homerun hitters other than his wide outs. With Holt stuck in a bad offense and Smith
stuck with David Carr, when will they turn it around? The sooner the better… because it doesn't look sunny in Nose-town right now.
IF I WAS BLIND
ANTI-TRUST
There are a lot of question marks floating around Nick's team right now. If the answers are positive than Nick's got a good shot to turn his season
around. Is Earnest Graham good? Maybe, who knows? Is Brandon Jacobs all the way back? No se`. Matt Schaub has rightfully taken over the
starting QB job and his WR's look pretty good on paper. The RB's are the real problem so if they get their shit together, Nick's really not in bad shape.
GROSS
BALTIMORE TOOLS
Marc has been hit with some straight bad luck this year. Deuce never got off the ground and now he's on IR. Cedric Benson is really the key to
Marc's team as he's his best RB option now. He was told on draft that he'd have to live with Trent Green and now he realizes that we were serious
about it. Is there light at the end of the Tools tunnel? I think he has a strong group of receivers and they'll have to carry him the rest of the way.
