Week 9

The domination of the week:  Brian 195.38 -- 122.86 Jeff

Futility of the week:  Team 'no keepers' for a close yet still futile loss to team 'keepers' 705.04 - 697.94.

To keep, or not to keep? That was the question.  A question that proved to be a difficult one to decide as going into Monday night the point differential between the two sides was a measly .50 points.  But despite Danny Woodhead and Jeremy Langford's best efforts however, team 'no keeper' just couldn't hold off the onslaught of Philip Rivers, Alshon Jeffrey, and Martellus Bennett.  Congrats to Seed for his risky trade paying off.  The Domination League remains a keeper league for the indefinite future.

Places two through seven of the standings continue to be in a state of flux.  Stacey and Derek (aka team newlywed) both notched wins over the two worst teams in the league (Barr and Seed), propelling each of them to 6-3.  Meanwhile two 4-4 teams (Ethan and Brian) bested two 5-3 teams (Heath and Jeff) to leapfrog them in the standings.  Jake's subpar performance against DJ means DJ has now made it two wins in a row after losing, but it also brings him within one point of having the easiest schedule behind Derek.  He still has a strong hold on most points for however Brian is creeping closer and closer after three monster weeks in a row.  Ethan's team has scored the third most points for, and has suffered the most points against.  Barr is the only remaining team that has yet to break 1000 points for on the season.  He's sure to do so next week.

Only four weeks remain until the playoffs.  With the exception of DJ and Barr, it is still a free for all of who's in and who's out.  Even Seed and Jake, although highly unlikely, could conceivably get in.  And once you are in the playoffs it's win or go home to Barb for a bologna sandwich with a side of cheese puffs and a ginger ale.
