Week 8 Monday Night Meat

These games are history.

CTRU 99, Razen Kanes 66
(CTRU has GB kicker Crosby) (RK is done)
Weak showing by Razen Kanes in a big spot. The perceived weak spots in their lineup were precisely that yesterday, with Testavede, Droughns, and A. Gonzalez each worth 2. At least they were consistent. They lose their 2nd straight to fall to 5-3. For Chinese, Garcia filled in nicely (23) and Welker was his usual great self (23). Ah what the hell, let's throw another 23-spot in there (Titans D). CTRU wins their 6th straight to stay tied atop the Central.

Mud Dogs 151, BCB 116
(FINAL)
Not a good way to start Christ's vacation. (btw does this guy ever work? Every time I hear from him, he's about to go on vacation. He's worse than the President). Brady slipped a little bit this week, he was only worth 51 for MD. Hines Ward also made an appearance (28) and the Chargers D went ape (31). For Christ, a soild performance in several spots (K. Jones and Gates = 24 each; Pats D = 36), but a Frank Gore injury makes this loss look even worse. BCB falls back to 5-3 and MD is making a charge in the East at 4-3-1.

ND 140, Nine Fingers 72
(ND has B. Marshall) (9F is done)
Heading into this game between 5-2 Central co-leaders, you'd think Shu was the clear favorite, but Devo turned him away, with a little help from the big trade w/ Dragons. McNabb (28) and Chatman (13), and Marshall is TBD but it's academic. Galloway was the high man with 34. Fingers got very little production from anyone. ND tied for first at 6-2 with CTRU, and Shu is 5-3.


The following are not officially over:

Mighty Meatballs 133, Ballbusters 91
(MM has D. Wynn) (BB has Favre)
Ballbustin' Bob wants to see the GB air attack tonight in Denver, not the ground game. Still, a lot to overcome and I don't think he can do it. The big trade between these 2 teams (Addai-for-Parker) turned out better for Meatball yesterday (Addai's 35 to Parker's 26), but it was Brees who came up the biggest, with 45. Meatballs are about to be .500 for the first time in IFL history! (I think) Ballbusters will fall to last place at 3-5.

Dragons 146, Lizard Kings 94
(Drag is done) (LK has Driver)
I guess the big ND-Dragons deal was great for both teams. Wayne and Evans combined for 75 for Dragons! His other acquistion, Bulger chipped in a nice 24 as well. For poor Johnny, P. Manning was the only real bright spot with 30, while Jacobs also chipped in a jolly old 20-bomb. Dragons will likely be 3-5 and suddenly 2 games out in the West! Lizards....1-7.

PTP 115, RVG 115
(PTP has Jennings) (RVG is done)
PTP is on the verge of halting their 5-game skid, they just need a catch by Jennings, and no picks! Colston finally showed up for the Pimps (34), and Lions D was worth 26. For Grossie Smalls, B. Edwards continued his winning ways w/ 36 and TJ Housh put up 21. The piss poor 2 by Coles could really hurt him here. RVG will likely falter to 3-4-1, but the East is wide open. PTP could be 3-5 and 2 back in the West along w/ Dragons.

Hit Squad 82, Dead Beats 64
(HS has Stokley) (DB has Elam)
What a boring-ass game. Dead Beats has 1 guy held catchless (V. Jackson) and 1 guy in his lineup didn't play (Watson). Also, LT only worth 10 in a game where SD scored 35 points??? For Holland, he continues to get miraculous play out of Derek Anderson (30), but hardly anything from the rest of his lineup. These guys are the dregs of the East, but Holland will likely be 4-4 and Chaos will be 3-5.
