Week 7

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.
