The Open Slot rebounds after loss to post 165

Holy @#$&! Open Slot Batman ... 165 points! The Slot rebounds big after their 1st loss in a battle for the in the Big Five. There were also a couple of firsts this week ... The Sonic Force suffer their 1st loss and the Razorbacks managed their 1st win. Things have become pretty clear half way thru the season. If you're over .500 you b in the playoffs dude!

After failing to catchup to the Koyotes on MNF, the Hitmen are thinkin' ... Who the hell is Kenton Keith and why the heck is he taking touchdowns from Joesph Addai? The Koyotes make it thru LT's BYE week paced by Wes Welker (26). It's nice to have anybody who plays for the Patriots on your roster.

FLYIN' TIGERS (5-2) @ SLOT (6-1)
Double D's Flyin' Tigers 71
Open (in the) Slot 165
Did I mention it's nice to have someone from the Patriots on your roster? Especially T. Brady (51) ... five friggin' TD's ! Good job Double D's ... your Tigers missed a golden opportunity to advance in the division. What will you do for an encore ... lose to the Razorback next week?

OB'S METHOD (2-5) @ RAZORBACKS (1-6)
Trooper OB's Method 82
Rando's Razorbacks 88
OB couldn't keep the momentum after last week's big win over Open (in the) Slot. Marvin Harrison (1) could have helped to pull this one out, but the Razorbacks hang on for their 1st win ... yahoo! Harrison's nagging knee injury has to be a concern for OB. I still can't phantom how the Razorbacks won this one.

FAB-FIVE (SONIC FORCE LEADS BY 1)

Romo's Raiders 104
Soul Sonic Force 83
Joe's Raiders get up off the canvas to knock off the Force for the 1st time. LJ (20) had 112 rushing yards and a TD against the Raiders for the Raiders (got that). SSF's only weakness, QB, reared up to bite them this week. With Vince Young out (quad injury) QB Jon Kitna (5) laid an egg. The Force get more bad news with word that star RB, Ronnie Brown goes down for the season. So who do they have for a backup ... crap ... its Frank Gore!


TERRAPINS (1-6) @ PITBULLS (5-2)
Jonesville Terrapins 78
Brooklyn PitBulls 90
The Jonesville boys just didn't have enuff depth to keep up with the dogs. They might of won had they played the other tight end. Heath Miller had 17 while Chris Cooley posted 0. The Pitbulls are just keeping pace 'til the playoffs. They were paced by Bengals RB Kenny Watson (34) and the Giants' D/ST (22). The Giant's get a gift fumble recovery from San Fran's Trent Dilfer. What a stiff.

The week #8 match-up to watch is the SSF (6-1) against the Koyotes (5-2). Pamela could snatch a share of the division leads with a win.

Koyotes spank the Razorbacks with a whopping 164 frickin' points!

There is one good thing for certain when the Koyotes match-up against the Razorbacks during the season. Someone in the Freeman household will be happy and someone won't. The other good thing is it happens only once a year.

RAZORBACKS (0-6) @ KOYOTES (4-2)
Rando's Razorbacks 51
Killin' Koyotes 164
The Koyotes scored 13 touchdowns !!! Including another punt return TD from the frickin Bears! LT had 198 YDS and 4TDs for 45 points, QB Palmer (18) 2 TDs, T.J. Houshmandzadeh (27) 2TDs, Wes Welker (25) TD's, and Tony Gonzales (23) 2 TDs. It would probably take the Razorbacks 3 weeks to score as much.

RAIDERS (1-5) @ TERRAPINS (1-5)
Romo's Raiders 84
Jonesville Terrapins 93
The Terps get off the snide! The Jonesville boys get a nice contribution from the Raven D (24). So here's how the Cinderella story plays out; The Terps win the next 6 match-ups but lose to the 0-12 Razorbacks in week #13 to miss the pay-offs by 1 game. The Raiders have issues at QB Kurt Warner was knocked out of last weeks game and a question mark this week. Hmm .. you got problems already if you're starting Warner in the first place. Can you say Tim Rattay?

SONIC FORCE (6-0) @ PITBULLS (4-2)
Soul Sonic Force 95
Brooklyn PitBulls 88
The fource whip the Pitbulls again to retain domonance of the Fab Five division. Some teams have all the luck. They lose QB, Vince Young (0) with a quad injury, but the rookie sensation Adrian Peterson (41) runs for 224 YDS and 3 TDs ... against the Bears. Go figure.

BIG-FIVE (THE SLOT & TIGERS TIED)

SLOT (5-1) @ OB'S METHOD (2-4)
Open (in the) Slot 88
Trooper OB's Method 106
OB wins one for the gipper and takes down the division leading Slot. There's new hope in the Big Five. Despite 44 from Tom "I'm to Sexy to be just a QB" Brady, the rest of the team was pedestrian and the Slot is closed down for the first time. OB gets 24 from Braylon "I wish we could play the Dolphins every week" Edwards and 30 from Maurice Jones-Drew. Okay that's "Mr." Jones-Drew for me. I will no longer dis 'em.

FLYIN' TIGERS (5-1) @ HITMEN (2-4)
Double D's Flyin' Tigers 100
Philly Hitmen 86
The Hitmen needed McNabb to score touchdowns in the red zone this week. Double D has won 2 straight pull into a tie for the division. Congrats! QB Derek Anderson (34) has turned into a reliable starter. I promised not to dis 'em this week ... no promises next week.

Power Rankings Week #5

This Week's Power Rankings

#1 The Soul Sonic Force (5-0) The Force have been impressive so far this season. Knocking of 2 undefeated teams during this campaign. The Force's strength in centered on a strong RB corp of Ronnie Brown, Frank Gore and the surprising rookie Adrain Peterson. Toss in Randy Moss and these guys are tough to beat.

#2 In The Open Slot (5-0) The autodraft all-stars team is kickin' butt. Tom Brady has looked pretty good for the open slot. Brady has 16 TD passes in 5 weeks. The only thing that might stop them is a Patriots BYE (Week#10).

#3 Brooklyn Pitbulls (4-1) Mickey's only loss was to the Force. So we're not talking chop liver here. Both QB's (Romo & Roethlisberger) have been puttin' up good numbers. But Plaxico Burress has been spectacular! Second only to Randy Moss at WR, Burress has been puttin' up numbers despite an ankle injury. The New York post reports he's part of a secret government trans-genetic experiment to cross humans with orangutans.

#4 Double D's Flyin' Tigers (4-1) It all about B. West for the Tigers.

#5 Killin' Koyotes (3-2) LT has had a slow start, but he's beginning to pick it up. To bad the Koyotes' have got nothing else to shout about, except the Bears special teams. Look for them to falter down the stretch.

#6 Romo's Raiders (1-4) Romo's been up against pretty tough competition so far. He may have faired better if Larry (hold-out) Johnson could perform as well as he gets paid.

#7 Philly Hitmen (2-3) The Hitmen haven't made the grade against the top 5 teams. The 2 wins have been against Rando and OB. They have been riddled with injuries, so they might have a shot at the playoffs if they get healthy.

#8 OB's Method (1-4) The method is broken. OB hasn't scored more than 68 in any week. The one win was over the Razorbacks 68-64.

#9 Jonesville Terripins (0-5) Peyton Manning is cursed. Reggie Bush is overrated. The Terripins are 0 and 5. Any questions?

#10 Rando's Razorbacks (0-5) No one is more deserving of last place. Rando scored just 38 in his last match-up. The Razorbacks drafted 3 New Orleans Saints (including Drew Brees). Hoping last year's Cinderella darlings would continue their winning ways. But Cinderella has lost her slipper and the prince has been put off by too many Reggie Bush commercials to find it. The Saints stink and so do the Razorbacks.
