The domination of the week: Brian 193.70 -- 123.98 Jake
Futility of the week: DJ for finally tasting defeat (futility of the year will also go to DJ for thinking he will win the title).
Rejoice, for the mighty have fallen! Praise be to Derek's team for finally handing DJ his first in whats sure to be a streak of many losses. An impressive six game win streak finally comes to an end. A streak, by the way, which fell only two games short of the all time domination league record set by Jake last year. Other notable streaks in progress are two league best (at the moment) three game win streaks by Stacey and Jeff. Stacey squeaked out a victory over Ethan this week, who is surely kicking himself (harder than the Catman kicked the ball) for playing Blount who posted a ghastly -0.30 points. Jeff won in more convincing fashion over Seed, although other than Seed the only other team he would have beat was Jake. On the other end of the streak spectrum, Jake is owner of a tied for league worst four game losing streak as well as a dark brown dookie streak in his underpants after Brian's team scored a tremendous 193 points against him. Barr's team is owner of the other four game losing streak and although he finally joined the 100 point club again unfortunately it was a futile effort. A fourth quarter TD pass from Palmer to Brown (both members of Heath's team) propelled Heath to victory after he had all but waved the white flag.
DJ still has accrued the most points for, but also still has the second least points against behind only Derek. Stacey continues to have the toughest schedule as she still has the most points against. Luckily she has the third most points for. With his loss, Ethan falls one spot in the standings to third but sits atop the 4-3 teams and Heath reclaims his spot in second place. The league is getting closer than ever as DJ only has a one game lead on second place now, and a two game lead on places 3 through 6. Brian still remains in 7th place as the sole owner of a 3-4 record. Both Seed and Jake lost but Jake leapfrogged Seed into 8th place thanks to his points for although both of them are well behind the next highest team in that category by about 80 points. Barr brings up the rear with an abysmal 1-6 record and an embarrassing 712 points for total.
The game of the week for week 8 is 1st place DJ vs 3rd place Ethan. Six weeks remain until the playoffs and the playoff race is beginning to take shape. Remember that the top two teams get a bye for the first week of the playoffs and the consolation playoff for the bottom four teams will determine who gets the first pick in the draft next year.

Week 6
The domination of the week: Dj 170.18 -- 96.70 Barr
Futility of the week: Brian for losing by a gut-wrenching .3 points.
Rivalry Week. To the victor go the spoils. Perhaps the most competitive week of this season so far excluding Barr who yet again got blown out by nearly 100 points, and failed YET AGAIN to score 100 himself. As noted in the futility of the week, Ethan emerged from week 6 victorious over Brian by a half of an ass hair margin, extending his win streak to 3 games and catapulting him into 2nd place behind DJ who remains undefeated. It should also be noted that although DJ does have the most points for, he also has the second fewest points against, further evidence of his continual luck. Heath experienced his second loss in as many weeks, and slid one spot into 3rd place. Heath is tied record-wise with Ethan but sporting the lowest points for of the top 5 teams. The battle of the newly-weds-to-be concluded with Stacey handing Derek a loss in a relatively close matchup. Perhaps for their wedding Stacey will be wearing the slacks and Derek will don the dress? Jeff turned in the best performance of the week racking up 175.58 points in his win over Heath. Both he and Stacey appear to be on the up and up and are riding two game win streaks. Another team on a steady rise through the standings is Seed's who now sits in 8th place after his convincing win over Jake who fell one spot to 9th. The defending champ is struggling to defend his title this year.
All of the movement in the standings is evidence of how close and competitive this league really is. Aside from DJ in 1st and Barr in last every team is owner of only one of three records (4-2, 3-3, 2-4). The week 7 matchups will surely only cloudy the standings further. 7 weeks remain until the playoffs where anything can happen. The matchup of the week for week 7 is Jake vs Brian. Two 2-4 teams who are on the precipice of falling into the depths with Barr and a loss now could be just the push that starts the fall. The coveted top 6 spots become ever important with each passing week and I encourage you all to continue to bring it.

Week 5
The domination of the week: Victorious Secret 141.66 -- 88.74 Chris's Crew
Futility of the week: Andy's Army for scoring the most points of a losing team.
Two undefeated teams enter; one remains. The ever complacent DJ came out of week 5 on top and is the last undefeated team. His performance this season is reminiscent of Jake's from a year ago. Speaking of Jake, the defending champion has now suffered two straight losses and shares the longest losing streak with Barr, who's win two weeks ago will surely be his only one of the season as again he failed to eclipse 100 points. That makes 4 out of 5 weeks for those of you who aren't counting. He also is seated comfortably in dead last place with an embarrassing 483 points for accumulation which is nearly 100 points less than the next lowest: Seed. On the other end of the league standings, aside from DJ's 5 game win streak, Ethan is owner of the longest at 2 games and is now in 3rd place, behind Heath who after a week of trading away his best players is looking like he may slide even further down the standings as the weeks progress. He still has a one game cushion over the 3rd and 4th spots. Both Derek and Stacey halted their losing streaks with convincing wins this week. The blockbuster trades by Brian did little to help his team this week and he will now owe Derek a surely obscene amount of wings from Adams Golden Grill™. Another team on the up and up is Jeff's who dominated Jake quite thoroughly.
The middle bulk of the league remains in a state of fluctuation which should make for an incredibly interesting and competitive playoff push. Week 6 is officially "Rivalry Week". Derek and Stacey square off in a battle of the newly weds to be and is the matchup of the week and should be commemorated with a wager. Team name disses have already been exchanged in the battle between Brian and Ethan, and last place Barr looks to upend first place DJ. Newcomer to the league Jeff vs newcomer to fantasy in general Heath face off, and the final game of rivalry week is battle of the country boys: Seed vs Jake.
I'm going to start posting the standings on these posts and as you may have noticed I've begun using our names instead of team names because they change too often which makes it confusing.
1. DJ 5-0
2. Heath 4-1
3. Ethan 3-2
4. Derek 3-2
5. Stacey 2-3
6. Jeff 2-3
7. Brian 2-3
8. Jake 2-3
9. Seed 1-4
10. Chris 1-4

Week 4
The domination of the week: Corn on the Cobb 147.06 -- 96.94 Evan's Team
Futility of the week: Austin 316 for losing on a very controversial call late in the Monday night game.
Going into week 4 only two teams remained unbeaten, and same is true at the end of the week. Corn on the Cobb and Josh Zool....Lejund stay lossless on the year, both in convincing fashion, and come racing head to head in week 5 in which one of them will topple from perfection. The rest of the league can only watch and hope that DJ doesn't win. This week saw its share of blowouts, close games, and even controversy. The game of the week (Release the Kemmer vs Saved by the Bell) saw the former sealing the victory over the latter in the MNF game. Mr. Jones & Me staved off a comeback by Chris's Crew on Monday night and won by a measly 4 points, second smallest margin of victory in the league this week. The smallest margin of victory went to Andy's Army over Austin 316 in a very controversial win. 129 - 128 was the score thanks to a late 4th quarter missed call on a fumble on Monday night. The Domination League launched an official investigation into the matter late last night, but as it stands, being that the officials on the field made the call of it being a turnover (right or wrong) it must stand. It is a cruel reminder that this game we call fantasy football is 100% reliant on the successes and failures of other humans, even the refs..
Corn on the Cobb remains in the #1 spot and is the first person this season to stay there in back to back weeks. He also leads the league in points for as Victorious Secret finally had an abysmal week of scoring. After Andy's Army finally got into the win column, three tiers of the league clearly emerged. The top two undefeated teams, then there are four 2-2 teams, followed by four 1-3 teams. There isn't much room for error in this domination league as competition has been fierce and the standings remain close. Victorious Secret and Evan's Team, two 1-3 teams, are both sporting relatively high points for statistics, however their points against stat is astronomically high. And both Victorious Secret and Austin 316 are owners of a losing streak of 2, most in the league. It makes one wonder if the newly-weds-to-be have their minds fully on this league?
The matchup of the week for week 5 is the battle of the unbeatens: Josh Zool....Lejund vs Corn on the Cobb. Before the matchup even starts Corn on the Cobb sees his lucky streak continue as Josh Zool...Lejund has over half of his starting lineup on bye.
