W:
The Steelers toppled theLunkers this week, thanks to another
big day from Adrian “All Day” Peterson, whose 28.00

their 2nd Superbowl appearance in Four Years, thanks
to huge days
from Brees, Colston, Graham and Westy. The Raiders saw strong efforts
from LT
and Fred Taylor , but
in the end were devastated by an anemic performance from
QB Brady, who finally collapsed from the weight of carrying
the Raiders for a
full season. The game ball goes to QB Brees with 29.95 pts for
in

wasn’t enough
to save the
day. RUU advances to the Consolation Bracket Final

What up, PNW?! Round one of the playoffs is complete, and
four
more teams have been unceremoniously
ushered into the postseason. So without
further ado:
WEEK
FOURTEEN RECAP!
The defending champs were dispatched in short order this week,
thanks to the awesome firepower of the
Rowdy Raiders, who racked up the weeks high
score once again behind LT, Brady and a cast of thousands.
Top performers for Redmond
were Jason Witten and Andre Johnson, but in the end it wasn’t even
close.
Tom Brady
earns PNW player of the week honors for a season high 4th
time with his
44.45 pts in the Raider
victory.
W:
It was one and done for the regular season champs this week,
as the finally met their match in the scrappy Steelers.
Kirkland’s Randy Moss
and Clinton Portis carried the mail in this one, while Rough U Up saw a
strong
swan-
song performance from QB Romo, if little else. Moss gets the game ball
for
the Steelers with his 27.00 pts,
while the Rough Bunch “RUU’s” the day it went
up against
W: Reading
Rockhounds 187.80

The Owls were ravaged by the Rockhounds this week, knocked
out of the playoffs by strong efforts from
Reading

Bress a game Ball for the Rockhounds.
And in the PNW GAME OF THE WEEK:
W: Flathead
Lunkers
141.45
L: Leemo's Chumps 141.00
And in one of the closest games of the season, the Lunkers
leaned on Leemo to give the Chumps their lumps
and glean the slightest of
victories, propelled by powerful performances from Grant, Jones and
Fitzgerald.
Highlights for the Chumps were provided by mighty efforts from Addai
and Lewis,
who nevertheless gets
a game ball for his 29.30 pts in the loss.

Well, here it is! The final regular season recap of 2007! Without
further ado:
Week
Thirteen!
W:
The Steelers consolidated their hold on the PNW’s final
playoff slot this week by dashing the Barber’s playoff
hopes with solid games
from Peterson and Portis. CV was hamstrung by the early injury to QB
Favre, but
can
take pride in their defensive effort and a great game from WR Torry
Holt. “All Day’ Peterson gets a game ball
for his 26.60
pt share of the Steeler win.
RUU proved once again why they are the regular season Champs,
sending Finn Hill Carrening into the offseason
behind Romo, Reggie Wayne and
Braylon. The Marauders were led once again by team MVP Matt Hasselbeck,
who was
ably assisted by DB Jermaine Phillips. 36.45 pts provides QB Tony Romo
with
another game ball for
the RUU mantle.
Reading closed out the season in high style this week, using
the weeks high score to avenge a week 4 loss with an
absolute shellacking of “the
other” RR. The Raiders were led by a big game from LT, and an almost
human Tom
Brady, while the Rockhounds Patrick Willis led nine players in double
digit
scoring. LT gets the game Ball with
35.50 in the loss.
W:
The Ospreys found themselves beneficiaries of another solid
if not flashy team effort this week, with 7 double-
digit earners contributing
to the victory. The Lunkers were crippled by scratchs from QB Bulger
and WR
Fitz,
and simply couldn’t recover despite a great game from recently acquired
RB Ryan Grant. Redmond RB Justin
Fargas earns a game ball for his 26.70 pt day.
W: Snowy Owls
149.00
L: Leemo's Chumps
136.30
The playoff bound Chumps coasted into the postseason this
week, apparently resting the formidable Gates and
Addai and allowing the Owls to
edge Leemo out in the season’s final tilt, this giving the owls
ownership of
the
penultimate playoff berth. Keys to the Owl victory were excellent
performances from QB Derek Anderson,
T-Gonz, and the mighty Merriman, while
Leemo was led once again by TO, who gets a game ball for his efforts.

berth! Meanwhile, the remaining teams don’t have long to regroup, as
the week’s

Thanksgiving, I’ll keep his one short and
sweet. Without further ado:
WEEK ELEVEN RECAP!
Finn Hill jumped out to an early lead versus the Ospreys

187.65
L:
RUU remains unstoppable, as they pulled together a 5th
straight win over Castro Valley this week, riding
big
performances from QB Romo and LB
Ray Lewis to victory. Bright spots for the Barber were the alphabet
soup worthy
tandem of Favre and Houshmandzadeh. Ray Lewis’s excellent 41 pt
defensive
effort earns the
game ball in this one.
W: Leemo's Chumps
194.80
L:
The Chumps also continued their winning streak this week, putting
the week’s high score to good use in a 4th
straight over the
Steelers. Leemo’s finest were propelled by a monster performance from
WR
Terrell Owens,
who was ably assisted by QB Gracia & RB Addai. The Steelers
were led by WR Randy Moss and QB
Eli Manning, both with superb games. This game
ball goes to TO, with 42.80 in the Chump victory.
W: Rowdy Raiders
180.45
L:
Snowy Owls
114.80
The Raiders evened the season series against their Barrow

provided by QB Anderson, WR Boldin and DB Charles Tillman. Brady warns

missives!
WEEK
TEN RECAP!
W: Leemo's
Chumps
116.30
L:
Finn Hill Marauders 62.30
It was All Chumps, All the time this week, as Leemo's finest doubled up
the Marauders to clinch their first
ever
PNW playoff berth! TO led all scoring with a game-ball worthy 29.5 for
Leemo, while DB Roy Williams was
the main breadwinner for the Marauders with 18.
W: Reading
Rockhounds 159.50
L:
The Rockhounds ran roughshod over frequent trade partners the
Steelers this week, led by a tremendous
42.8 pt day from disgruntled former Steeler Brian Westbrook, who was
clearly out to make a statement
against the club who spurned him. Top scorers for Kirkland were Clinton
Portis & Demarcus Ware.
The aforementioned Westy is named PNW player of the week for Reading.
The Lunkers were nothing is not resilient this week, bouncing back from last week's dismal showing to
put up the season's highest score, with every single player scoring 12 pts or higher! The Raiders meanwhile
proved that they aren’t nearly as tough without big bad Tom Brady to protect ‘em. Flathead QB Marc Bulger
earns a welcome back Game ball for his 27.20 game.
W: Rough U
Up
196.45
L:
Snowy Owls 125.25
The Snowy owls got plucked this week by the red hot RUU, who racked up
a 4th straight win behind the stellar
scoring of QB Tony Romo & WR Reggie Wayne. The Owls meanwhile saw
fine efforts from Warner and Ward.
This game ball goes to Romo who scored Roughly 33 in the victory.
W:
There were bold
proclamations coming from Castro Valley this week, as the trash talking
Barbers pointed Ruth-like
at the standings and said: "I'm looking at 3-7 after this week!!"
Unfortunately, it takes more than just lip to topple the
Ospreys, who jumped to an early lead with solid games from the other
Roy Williams, Lynch and Jacobs. The Door
was open for CV to back up their claims, but Frank Gore and
Julian Peterson couldn't quite close the gap on
Monday night. The defending Champs clinch a playoff berth with
the W, while Brett Favre earns the game ball with
his excellent 35.75 effort in the loss.
PNW Player of the Week: RB Brian Westbrook, Rockhounds, 42.80 pts
PNW Underachiever of the Week QB Damon Huard, Rowdy Raiders, -4.85
PNW Bench Player of the Week QB Ben Roethlisberger, Rockhounds, 36.30 pts (2nd Straight!)

So Until Sunday, Good luck, and see you on the field!
November
7th, 2007
What up PNW? Things are getting interesting as we enter the
home stretch of the regular season.
With big wins this week, The Rockhounds and
RUU have clinched playoff spots. The Ospreys
are in a tailspin, having lost
multiple running backs as well as 2 straight, leaving them open to the
suddenly red-hot
Chumps and Snowy Owls. Who will move on to PNW history? Who will
go home early? Soon we shall know all, but now, with out further
ado:
WEEK
NINE RECAP!
W: Leemo's
Chumps
206.60
L:
Leemo won their 2nd straight behind the incredible one-two punch of
RB's Jamal Lewis & Joseph
Addai, each with 40+. CV did their best to cover, led by QB Brett
Favre, but it ended in tears.
The Game Ball goes to Lewis with 40.40 in the big Chump Win.
W: Reading
Rockhounds 210.05
L: Finn Hill Marauders
85.65
The Rockhounds continue to roll toward the postseason this week,
putting up the season's highest score in
dispatching the Marauders. Reading had 9 players score in the digits to
clinch their playoff spot, while QB
Peyton Manning was again Finn Hill's bright spot. QB Drew Brees gets
the game ball for the double R.
The Rowdy Raiders received a painful pounding at the hands of
the Steelers this week, thanks to the
punishing pair of Peterson and Portis. Brady and Burleson brought
their "A" games for the Raiders,
but they suffered a zero from D. Bowe and a defensive no show, Oh no.
Player of the Week honors once again with an even 50.00 for the
Steelers.
W: Snowy Owls 150.00
L:
Flathead Lunkers
91.90
The Lunkers were buried by the Snowy
Owls, as they continued to suffer bye week trouble. The Owls
meanwhile were led in scoring by a game ball worthy Greg Jennings with
24.00 at WR, and the ageless
T-Gonz.
W: Rough U Up 149.90
L:
Rough U Up came up big in prime time once again this week, knocking the
Ospreys out of their
first place perch while simultaneously clinching a playoff birth. RUU
jumped out to a big early
lead behind QB Tony Romo and RB Reggie Bush. Redmond battled back with
big MNF
performances from TE Heath Evans and WR Santonio Holmes, But LB Ray
Lewis was able
to single handedly hold off the birds and secure the Rough victory. The
Ospreys don't come
away totally empty handed though, as RB Marshawn Lynch's 31.80 garners
a consolation game ball.
PNW Player of the Week: RB Adrian Peterson, Steelers, 50.00 pts
PNW Underachievers of the Week The Lunkers
PNW Bench Player of the Week QB Ben Roethlisberger, Rockhounds, 40.45 pts
PNW Defensive Player of the Week LB Rocky McIntosh, Owls, 36.00 pts
That's all for this week. Good news: This is the final week for BYE's, so we
can all look forward to using our entire rosters again! What a novel idea!
Until Sunday, see you on the field!
November
1st, 2007
What up, Ghouls and Goblins? It was one crazy Halloween
weekend
in the PNW, and appropriately
enough, there were scares and treats galore! When the weekend was over,
we were left with a three-
headed monster
atop the leaderboard, two teams were deadlocked in the first tie in
league
history,
and a freakish effort from a Linebacker on offense resulted
in the first player ever to capture
both Player of the week AND Defensive player
of the week honors! So, without further
ado:
WEEK EIGHT RECAP!
The high flying Ospreys were laid low at the bloody hand’s
of Leemo this week, thanks to huge
efforts from Addai, Gates, Galloway and LB
Mike Vrabel, whose huge effort on both sides of the
ball figured large in the upset-tastic
outcome.
even close. Vrabel earns both Player
of the week AND Defensive player of the week honors
with his 48.85 pts in the
slaughter. The Ospreys now fall into a three way tie for the league lead
with
the loss.
The Rockhounds edged out the Barber to capture a share of first place atop the leaderboard,
led by QB Roethlisberger, (man, am I getting tired of typing that…) RB Westbrook, and an
excellent defensive showing. CV’s saw fine scoring from Brett Favre and six others, but their
fate was ultimately decided by a last minute scratch from RB Travis Henry. Despite the loss,
Favre gets the game ball for his 27.95 in that amazing Monday night finish.
T: Rowdy
Raiders
91.20
T:
Finn Hill Marauders 91.20
In another PNW first, The Raiders and Marauders finished the
weeks in a scoring in a dead tie,
with neither team able to break the deadlock.
This was made even more amazing considering both
squads got double gooseggs
from their respective defenses, mostly the result of bye week players
left in
the lineups. A game ball goes to Tom Brady yet again…
W: Snowy
Owls
170.70
L:
The Owls roundly routed the Steelers on Sunday to tie both
swuads up at 3-5 in the standings. The
Owls ironically were let by actual Steelers
Willie Parker and Hines Ward, while Kirkland had a
tough day as many of their
superhuman players transformed back into normal football players for
the day. A
30.40 day earns Owl QB Derek Anderson a game ball in the victory.
W: Rough U
Up
145.30
L: Flathead
Lunkers
141.35
In the first Rockville–free Game of the Week in recent memory, the
Lunkers jumped out to a
formidable early lead behind LB’s Will Witherspoon and London
Fletcher-Baker. It looked like
Flathead had the game in the bag, however RUU’s
defense came to the rescue on Monday Night
to pull off the come from behind win,
thanks to their own strong defensive performance from Champ
Bailey and DJ
Williams. RUU’s Braylon Edwards earns a game ball with 27.70 on the
day,
helping
Rough U Up to also grab a share of first place.
PNW Player of the
Week:
LB Mike Vrabel, Chumps, 48.85 pts
PNW Underachievers of
the Week The Raider and Marauder
Defenses
PNW Bench Player of the
Week QB
Drew Brees, Rockhounds, 40.80 pts

October
26th, 2007
What up PNW? It was one amazing topsy-turvy week 7, as the
league saw it’s most competitive
slate of games thus far, with 3 matchups
decided by less than 5 points! Upsets! Defeat
snatched
from the jaws of victory! All took place in the PNW this week. So
without Further ado:
THE WEEK SEVEN RECAP!
W:
CV pulled off the upset of the week, toppling the Raiders
and racking up the viagra high score
in the process. The Raiders meanwhile had
the bad luck of
playing the only team that could have
beat him in week 7, with a huge Brady
effort denied by the more balanced attack of the Barber
WR law firm of Welker, Roddy
and Housh. Rowdy QB Tom Brady should feel good about
earning PNW Player of the
week honors with his stunning 53.70 pt performance.
W: Finn Hill
Marauders
101.40
L: Snowy Owls 96.70
Finn Hill ended their three week losing streak with a big
win over the reeling Owls, led by strong days
from Seahawks Hasslebeck and Josh
Brown, while the Snowy Owls saw strong efforts WR’s Boldin
and Mason squandered
by a devastating -3.75 pt performance from QB Bulger. Anquan Boldin
gets
the
game ball for his 18.90 in the loss.
W: Flathead
Lunkers 150.30
L:
A strong running attack was the key for Flathead this week,
as the Lunkers steamrolled the Steelers
behind devastating efforts from RB’s
Kevin Jones, Larry Johnson and MJD. Bright
spots for
were Portis and Randy Moss, with
Adrian Peterson returning to earth a bit. In a rare occurance, this
Game Ball
goes to LB London Fletcher-Baker for 34.00 in the win.
W: Rough U Up
155.45
L:Leemo's
Chumps
138.95
The Chumps took their lumps this week at the hands of the Rough
U Up defense, all three RUU players
scoring 20 plus to secure the victory. Leemo’s
squad was no slouch however, with 8 players hitting the
double digit mark, but
it just wasn’t enough on this given Sunday. RUU LB Ray Lewis gets a
Game ball
with 22.00 on the day.
PNW GAME OF THE WEEK:
W:
The Rockhounds had put up a seemingly insurmountable early
lead, racking up big points with QB Brees,
and RB’s Graham and McGahee. However,
WR Santonio Holmes, who put up
16 on Monday to secure the victory. Ironically, Holmes Real life QB
Ben Roethlisberger
sat the bench in
the all difference. LB
Demeco Ryans is the third LB this week to get a game ball, plus D

October 18th, 2007
What Up, PNW? You know, some weeks
things just don’t go your way. Like the when the Seahawks getting
embarrassed by a winless Saints on National TV. But no matter the
depths of my depression, the show must go
on. So, without further ado:
WEEK SIX RECAP!
W: Rowdy
Raiders 185.45 L:
The Raiders pulled off upset of the
week, crushing the previously unbeaten Ospreys behind truly ridiculous
days
from QB Tom Brady and RB LT. The Ospreys simply couldn’t keep up,
totaling their lowest score of the season.
This Game Ball goes to LT with 49.30 for the Raiders.
W:Snowy Owls
195.95 L:
The Owls racked up the Viagra "Grand
Tally of the Week", knocking off the CV Barber with a true team effort,
all but one Owl player putting up double digit scores. Top scoring for
CV came from the unstoppable WR tandem
of Housh and Welker, each with 30+, but this was not enough to keep
things competitive. Game Ball: QB Derek
Anderson with 38.05 for the Owls.
W:Flathead Lunkers 135.70 L:Finn Hill Marauders 91.80
The Lunkers beat up on the Marauders this week
behind strong games from the RB duo of Larry Johnson and
MJD. Matt Hasselbeck put up th high score for Finn Hill, with 28.6.
Maurice Jones-Drew gets the game ball
for his 37.40 game for Flathead.
The Steelers handed a second straight
loss to the suddenly reeling Rough U Up, carried my a sta
PNW Player of the week worthy effort from new RB Adrian Peterson. RUU
meanwhile should feel good about
an excellent performance from their own new acquisition Braylon
Edwards, whose 27.20 led the scoring for RUU.
Game Ball: Adrian Peterson 50.20 pts.
PNW
GAME OF THE WEEK:
W:
Reading Rockhounds 138.40 L:Leemo's Chumps
136.85
In
the week's closest matchup once again, the Rockohounds (How DOES he do
it???) narrowly edged out the
Chumps to earn a second straight win, led by rejuvenated WR Steve Smith
and new acquisition Brian Westbrook.
Bright spots for the Chumps were RB Ronnie Brown and DB Charles
Woodson. Game Ball: Steve Smith with
26.35 for
PNW Bench Player of the Week QB Jason Campbell, Snowy Owls, 20.65 pts
Well, that's it for this week, so until next time: See you on the field!
October
10th, 2007
What Up, PNW? I’m in a crunch for time this week, so without further
ado:
WEEK FIVE CONDENSED RECAP!
W:
The Ospreys rode a big MNF game from Jason Witten to pull
off a come from behind victory, edging out
solid performances across the board
for the Owls. Game Ball: QB Rivers, Ospreys.
W: Flathead Lunkers 131.30
L:
The Lunkers make it back to the W column for the first time
this season, behind great games from MJD
and Fitzgerald. CV has another tough
week, but see improved scoring as a team. Can victory be far behind?
Game Ball: WR Larry Fitzgerald, Lunkers
W:
It was Civil War in
Peyton may have won the battle for Finn Hill, but the
Steelers won the war.
Game Ball: Peyton Manning, Marauders.
The Raiders made it 2 in a row this week, climbing over both .500 and Leemo to do so.
Game Ball: QB Tom Brady, Raiders, yet again.
W: Reading Rockhounds
142.70
L:
Rough U Up
129.05
behind victory that never would have
happened without 6 turnovers from the losing RUU QB Tony Romo.
Game Ball: TE Ben
Watson, Rockhounds.
Well, that's it for now! This is one hairy week for byes, with 6 teams out of action, so plan accordingly!
Until Sunday...See you on the field! - Commish
October 3rd, 2007
What Up, PNW? Week four is officially in the books, and this week was exciting as ever. Scoring was
down this this week as a result of the byes, with a few teams dropping below 100 points. Meanwhile
the league saw it’s first blockbuster trade of the season as the Rockhounds and Steelers exchanged
superstuds, each maneuvering with an eye towards the postseason. Will the youth and awesome potential
of Adrian Peterson pave the way for Steeler postseason success? Or will
reception-league-powerhouse Westbrook result in a playoff payoff? Should YOU make a trade to
better your team if you want to keep up with the movers and shakers? All will soon be revealed,
but in the meantime, without further ado:
WEEK
FOUR RECAP!
The Champs had no business winning this week given their lowest
score of the season, but were fortunate
to draw a Lunkers team who apparently
forgot about the bye week.Top Ospreys were RB Marshawn
Lynch and TE Jason Witten with
16 apiece, while Lunker Larry Johnson gets the game ball with 18.80 in
the
loss.
W: Castro Valley
Barber 129.50
L:
Castro Valley showed signs of life this week as they upset
thanks to strong outings from Frank Gore and the ever-consistant
TJ Houshmandzadeh. The Steelers
unfortunately were hampered by a last minute scratch from
Westy, and total lack of defensive scoring.
On the bright side,
W: Rough U Up
151.65
L: Finn Hill Marauders
104.95
RUU continued its winning ways this week, as they toppled Finn
Hill’s finest in week 5 action, thanks to
a huge 40.65 pt game from QB Tony
Romo. The Marauders simply had one of those weeks, so I will
belabor it no
further. Romo earns PNW player of the week honors for his outstanding
effort.
W: Leemo's Chumps
157.60
L:
Snowy Owls
131.40
The Chumps kept up the pressure this week, racking up the
week’s high score to keep the Owls below
.500, and accrue their second straight
“W”. Leemo’s pride was led by the RB Tandem of Addai and
Brown, while the Owls saw
double digits from 8 players and still fell short. Ronnie Brown’s 31.2
is
game
ball worthy for the victorious Chumps.
And finally:
PNW
GAME OF THE WEEK
W: Rowdy Raiders
145.25
L: Reading Rockhounds 140.30
This matchup does double duty as both the game and upset of
the week, as the Raiders edged out the
Rockhounds in this battle of former PNW
Champions! Reading, who is making a habit of appearing in these GOW's,
looked to maintain it’s unbeaten status as they jumped to a big
early lead behind QB Roethlisberger, RB Adrian
Peterson, and DROY candidate Patrick Willis. The
Raiders were
undeterred by the Rockhounds apparent ferocity
however, and soon found themselves on the receiving end of improbable
Monday Night efforts from Patriots
Tom Brady and Sammy Morris, cementing a narrow
come-from-behind victory! This game ball goes to
Tom “Mueller” Brady for his
36.85 in the win.
Well, that's it for this week, so patch those defenses and mind those bye-weeks.
(You know who you are!) Until Sunday, See you on the field!
September 25th, 2007
What up PNW? Another week is in the books, and the standings are getting interesting, as teams begin that climb from
middle of the pack to top of the pile! Without further ado:
WEEK THREE RECAP!
W: Redmond Ospreys 201.60 L: Kirkland Steelers 123.80
It was another week of insane scoring for the champion Ospreys, as they took out the Steelers to garner both
the win and the "Viagra high score of the week", much to the bemusement of Mrs. Osprey. Kirkland was bedeviled
by double gooseggs on the defensive front, but can take pride in Top scorer Randy Moss, who has been absolutely
on fire in the early going this season. PNW player of the week honors go to Brian Westbrook, with an even 44 for
Redmond.
W: Finn Hill Marauders 136.85 L: Castro Valley Barber 109.45
The Marauders made short work of the reeling Barber this week, thanks to QB Peyton Manning, DB Anthony Henry,
and a defensively narcoleptic owner in Castro Valley. Game Ball goes to Barber QB Donovan McNabb who racked
up 41.05 in the losing effort.
W: Leemo's Chumps 135.75 L: Flathead Lunkers 128.30
The Chumps are proving to be exceedingly scrappy this season, nipping the Lunkers at the buzzer for a tightly
contested win. Fortunately, Leemo was able to pull off the victory without needing the earth shattering 46.40
pt performance of bench player of the week Ronnie Brown, thanks to solid efforts from QB Kitna and RB Addai.
The Lunkers were led by strong days from London Fletcher and Vince Young. Game Ball goes to Kitna with
25.60 pts in the victory.
W: Rough U Up 152.30 L: Rowdy Raiders 130.65
Rough U Up continues it's strongest start in team history with it's 3rd straight win, staying unbeaten after a
head to head with the Raiders. RUU was riding high again this week thank to double digit scoring from no
fewer than 9 players, making the win truly a team effort. Top scorer for the Raiders was QB Tom Brady , whose
36.85 pts earns him a game ball for the 2nd straight week, if not the win. That is, if you don' t count the huge
effort from WR Kevin Curtis moldering on the bench.
PNW GAME OF THE WEEK:
W: Reading Rockhounds 128.60 L: Snowy Owls 121.70
In a strange turnaround from their scoring from last week, both the Rockhounds and Owls returned to earth in a
low scoring, closely fought affair, with Reading managing to maintain an undefeated record. The Rockhounds were
able to do so despite a dissappointing day from last week's game-baller Steve Smith, thanks to a 7-player, double
digit parlay. The Owls had their own troubles, thanks to a career low -3 day from QB Marc Bulger that all but
erased a monster effort from WR Anquan Boldin. Boldin gets a game ball for his 37.10 pts on the Owls' behalf.
Weekly Leaders!
Well, that's it for now! Bye weeks begin this weekend, so keep that in mind when setting those rosters! Until Sunday...
See you on the field! - Commish
September 22th, 2007
What up PNW? I'm running late this week due to some kidcentric vacation time , so here’s a little PNW
recap lightning round! Without further ado:
WEEK TWO RECAP!
W: Redmond Ospreys 172.80 L: Finn Hill Marauders 110.00
The Ospreys continued to wear the mantle of Champion proudly ths week, fending off the Marauders for a week
two triumph. Game Ball – Osprey Chad Johnson 38.40 pts
W: Rough U Up 168.15 L:Castro Valley Barber 100.20
Rough U Up is making a real run this year in the early going, with a second straight awesome week against a reeling
Barber squad. And RUU owner Eddie, an avowed Browns fan, doesn’t even feel bad about doing it on the back
of Bengal QB Carson Palmer. Game ball – RUU Carson Palmer 51.25 pts
W: Kirkland Steelers 168.80 L: Leemo's Chumps 137.75
The Steelers rebounded nicely to from last weeks loss to keep the Chumps honest.
Game Ball – Chump Jamal Lewis, 30.30 pts.
W:Reading Rockhounds 211.90 L:Flathead Lunkers 138.50
Reading racks up a second consecutive high score of the week over the Lunkers. Will they follow their annual trend
of burning exceedingly hot before a precipitous plunge into oblivion? Time will tell.
Game Ball – Rockhound Steve Smith, 39.30 pts
W:Snowy Owls 160.00 L:Rowdy Raiders 141.75
The Snowy Owls take this frosty installment of the Barrow Bowl, evening both teams to 1-1 on the season.
Game Ball, Raider Tom Brady, 29.25 pts.
That's it for now! Get those lineups in, and See you on the field!
September 11th, 2007
What up PNW? Week one is in the books, and what a week it was! Former champs were toppled, new faces
ascended the leaderboard, and all this happened with the weeks top 3 scorers SITTING ON THE BENCH! You
can't make this stuff up people! Without further ado:
Week One Recap!
Last year's champs wasted no time in
returning to their winning ways these week, as they took the field in
another hairy showdown with the
Barber. The Ospreys were led in victory by former Barber Shaun
Alexander,
who had an excellent day,
revenge-minded due to the shabby treatment given him by his former
Squad. CV was
decimated defensively, putting up 3 goose eggs, but still saw a silk
lining in 20 from RB Travis Henry's. Osprey
Lamont Jordan gets a game ball with his 27.90 pts.
W: Leemo's Chumps
154.60 L:
Finn Hill Marauders 87.70
The Chumps, still smarting from barely missing last season's playoff
hunt, wreaked havoc this week over
the newly re-christened Margaritas, who found it difficult to Maraud
with only the one defensive player.
Leemo's finest was led by excellent games from his entire starting 4,
but the real gem was a 30 pointer for QB Jon
Kitna.Finn Hill tops it though,with a 32 pt day by the incomparable
Peyton
Manning garnering player of the game
honors.
Perrenial fave Rockhounds were up to their usual tricks this week, taking down the always scrappy Steelers.
Reading saw double digit scoring from 8 of 11 players, which served to tally the weeks' high score. This
pile o' points was highlighted by a game ball worthy 32.45 pt day from from QB Ben Roethlisberger.
The Steelers meanwhile saw excellent efforts from RB Brian Westbrook and WR's Randy Moss and Andre
Johnson, but were ultimately hamstrung by a poor defensive showing.
W: Rowdy Raiders
155.00
L: Flathead Lunkers 104.25
The Raiders rebounded from last years hard luck season to take a week
one victory from last years' third place
squad, the Lunkers. The Raiders had strong showing with 7 players
putting up
double digits. The Lunkers
meanwhile saw tough days for it's RB corps, but did see an outstanding
game from LB London
Fletcher. QB
Tom Brady gets PNW player of the Week honors in this one,
racking up 33.35 pts in the Raider win.
W: Rough U Up
132.80
L: Snowy Owls 99.65
In our final match, RUU plucked the Snowy Owls to finalize the slate of
week one winners,
thanks to 20+ point days from QB Carson Palmer and WR Reggie
Wayne, and double digit defense.
The Owls were led by Edgerrin James, for a 20 pt performance on Monday
Night. Rough Reggie
Wayne gets the game ball for his 24.00 pt effort.
Well, that's it for this week. No early games and
no Bye's yet, so it's straight up action for Sunday.
Be sure to set your rosters and those of you who need to, take care of
those defenses. Until Sunday,
See You On The Field!
