Week 5 Recap

Fried Soup was our most active division again this week, as the bottom three teams got into a tussle and flipped around. The Defenestrators are having the most trouble with our first tie-breaker, as all three of their losses have been against teams in their own division.

The league also logged its first tie of the season in Week 5, as The Wrong Petersons and The Show battled to a stand-still. Ties are rare in our league, with only one happening in each of the past three seasons. But last year's occurred in the playoffs, and required some improvisation by the Commish to decide who got to move on. So if we have to have one, better we get it out of the way now.

Brace for couplets!

McNabb earned Colin Prothro number two,
But surely other teams bench Orton too!
      Final Score: Grim And Frostbitten 59.2 -- P.C. Pirates 54.2.

Oak Ridge recovered from their Week 4 loss
And Dark Army was forced to pay the cost.
      Final Score: Army of Darkness 43.6 -- Oak Ridge Trinities 96.5.

Romo and K-Faulk just couldn't save Ace,
Who lost by twenty to The Pantywaists.
      Final Score: Los Tastiks 89.9 -- The Pantywaists 109.4.

Edgewater dropped their game against the Ghost:
Start the wrong defense this year, and you're toast.
      Final Score: Edgewater Fustigators 52.6 -- Ghost Of Roger Staubach 64.5.

The Hooligans edged out the Great Lakes team --
That narrow loss has got to have them Steamed.
      Final Score: The Hooligans 95.4 -- Great Lakes Steamers 86.7.

The Cheatahs are in a state of distress;
Three wins for Cy matches his all-time best.
      Final Score: Beefalo Balls 78.7 -- Wicked Cheatahs 56.5.

Our first tie game: Petersons and The Show
Neither lost, so neither gets a Prothro.
      Final Score: The Wrong Petersons 75.4 -- Amherst The Show 75.4.

Starting three players who sat on the bench,
The Yuppies give off that "absentee" stench.
      Final Score: Iron Yuppies 17.9 -- Rhyparographers 75.1.

Miah was stuck with no help at QB.
The Arborists are 2-3; so's he.
      Final Score: Defenestrators 61.1 -- Arborists 84.2.

Rodgers was hurt, but could still make the throws.
So The Headbangers are now 5-0.
      Final Score: Headbangers 100.6 -- Nitehawkez 83.8.

Matt Millen's out in Detroit: millions cheer!
A Lions rebound? That could take five years.

The Baystate Wicked Cheatahs are never going to have a better chance at getting their first win than Week 6, when they take on The Iron Yuppies. Patientfox has been oblivious to his team's fortunes all season as he prepares for the arrival of a young'un, and his roster is a shambles. If the Cheatahs' curse holds through that matchup, there may be no stopping them. Starting them? Whatever.

We also have a Game of the Week in Your Mom scheduled, as Irish and The Hooligans clash with Colin's Pacific Coast Pirates for the first time since the latter gave up the top spot in the division. Each manager has won a Belichick, and Colin may even be hungry enough to finally start Kyle Orton -- although his latest NFL column suggests that he expects a big day from Donovan McNabb as well.

Tune in next week for more Pigskin!
