The trade between The Mossters and Silent But Deadly has officially gone through.  In order to clear the needed cap room, The Mossters put David Boston on IR.  His salary is prorated to ($19) thus clearing the necessary $8 to get under the cap and it gives him $11 to play with.

The Mossters, drop Marcel Shipp ($2) and Tennessee D ($1), then with their plethera of cap avialability, they sign Kenny Watson ($6) and Freddie Jones ($1).

I Try When I Want To, in a knee jerk move after last weeks tie breaker loss, has fired head coach Mike Tice.  He is yet to select a replacement.  They have also put a hit out on Ron "puffy" Dayne after taking carries away from Tiki last week.  In other news, they sign Andre' Davis ($3) and Brad Johnson ($12).

The Showstoppa's sign Quincy Morgan ($1).

Polymorphic Pacifists sign Ron Dixon ($1).

The Flying Monkees drop Jerry Porter ($1) and sign Stacy Mack ($18).

Obligatory Nude Scene signs William Green ($1).

This concludes free agent signing, and trading.  Head coaching changes are still allowed.

11.05.2002

The trade between The Mossters and Silent But Deadly has officially been delayed until Friday.

In the scores from around the league...

Polymorphic Pacifists (8-1 #1) vs. Silent But Deadly (7-2 #3)
In what was to be the game of the year, the undefeated Pacifists took on division rival Silent But Deadly.  With a win, Scott would remain undefeated by going 9-0, and he would end the conference championship aspirations of The Showstoppa's, The Flying Monkees, and I Try When I Want To.  However, all signs pointed to a let down as fantasy god, Preist Holmes, was on a bye.  Silent But Deadly has finally defeated the Polymorfic Pacifists this time by a score of 107-86.  The good news for Jason, he moves to within a game of the division lead, and he has once again moved his average margin of victory out of the negatives.

The Horny Priests (5-4 #4) vs. Spankingly Delicious (4-5 #7)
The Horny Priests had a 5 game winning streak going into the showdown with Spankingly Delicious, who also had a streak of their own, a 4 game loosing streak.  Looking to stay ahead in the east, Jason took one on the chin this week as Ben moved to within a game of 1st place.  The score was 65-52.  Jason is only 2-3 in the division.

The Showstoppa's (4-5 #6) vs. The Flying Monkees (3-6 #8)
The looser of this game is out of the conference race.  The Showstoppa's showed up for the game and defeated The Flying Monkees 102-55.  In loosing, Heather is eliminated from the west race.  The top 3 from each division move on to the winners bracket, Neil now has a 1 game lead over Heather.

Obligatory Nude Scene (5-4 #2) vs. Aqua Teen Hunger Force (2-7 #10)
Obligatory Nude Scene needed a win after dropping 2 in a row.  Aqua Teen Hunger Force is looking more and more like a first overall draft pick.  Derrick grinded out a win this week over Neil in a low scoring game, 59-49.  After a Jason loss, and a Derrick win, Obligatory Nude Scene makes it back to first place in the ugly conference.

The Mossters (4-5 #5) vs. I Try When I Want To (3-6 #9)
This turned out to be the game of the week.  After a 71-71 tie, the first of the year, Brian looses because the Minnesota football Vikings and Mike Tice loose to Tampa Bay and John Gruden.  Blame it on Ron Dayne, not Mike Tice.  With the loss, Brian is eliminated from the west race.

Following games, I Try When I Want To has fired and detained head coach Mike Tice.  Brian blames his 6th loss of the year on the rookie coach.  He is now searching for a replacement.

Sorry for the shotty updates and lack of work on the web site.  18 credits is a lot though.  Gimme a break.

Anyway..

Two trades have been hammered out.  First..

The Flying Monkees send Stephen Davis ($18) to The Showstoppa's for Plaxico Burress ($9) and Rod Smith ($20).

To facilitate the trade, Heather drops JJ Stokes ($5).

The second time Davis has been traded twice this season, as has Rod Smith.  This is Heathers second big trade in as many weeks.

The second trade which goes into effect on Tuesday...

The Mossters send Shannon Sharpe ($5), Brian Griese ($17), Jarome Bettis ($6) and Antonio Freeman ($1) to Silent But Deadly for Tom Brady ($6), Corey Dillon ($29), and Antonio Bryant ($1).

The Mossters continue the mass overhaul as they shake up the lineup again.  Griese gets traded for the second time in two weeks, and Sharpe gets delt for the second time.  To Todd:  Okeedokee then.

In moves...

I Try When I Want To drops Trent Dilfer ($2) and picks up Jake Plummer ($2) and Tommy Maddox ($1).  This will be the second time around fro Plummer on Brian's roster.

The Horny Priests pick up Jeff Wilkins ($1) and Tai Streets ($2).

Polymorphic Pacifists drop William Green ($6) and Freddie Jones ($4).  Scott then picks up Billy Miller ($1).  Green gets dropped flat on his ass for the second time this year.  Billy who?

The Mossters drop Brad Johnson ($7) rather than put him on the IR.  With the available cap space, they sign Chad Pennington ($5) and Duce Staley ($4).

The Showstoppa's drop Paul Edinger ($1) and Reggie Wayne ($1).  They then sign Joe Nedney ($1).  Swappage of kickers ya say.

Silent But Deadly drops Chris Chandler ($4) who was the worst free agent aquisition ever, and finally picks up a decent tight end, sorta, in Christian Fauria ($4).

10.27.2002

The Horny Priests (5-3 #2) vs. The Flying Monkees (3-5 #8)
The Horny Priests roll to thier 5th straight win, this time over The Flying Monkees 91-72.  In doing so Jason has taken over the eastern conference lead (see below).  Funny how the schedule works.  The Priests have scored less points and have allowed more points than the 2nd and 3rd place teams in the east, yet who leads by a game?  Yeah.. thats right.  Funny too, The Horny Priests have scored less than they have allowed.  Yes, thats right, they have an average margin of victory of negative -2.625 points per game.  The only stats to report regarding The Flying Monkees; congrats to Emmitt!  And they're 5 games back in the west.

The Mossters (3-5 #5) vs. The Showstoppa's (3-5 #6)
The Mossters have underachieved all season.  Meanwhile, The Showstoppa's have just plain sucked.  With that in mind, it wasn't suprising that Todd was quoted in saying "Thats a win!" when told who his opponent was this week.  Coming into this week, Todd dismantled his team in what turned out to be 2 blockbuster deals.  He moved his QB, both RB's and a WR in order to get competitive agian.  It didn't work as The Showstoppa's upset The Mossters in a nail biter 80-77.  We can use these popular sayings this week in reference to Todd: "Insert foot..", "Eatin' crow!!", "If it ain't broke don't fix it..", and finally.. "D'oh!".  Todd did have the 4th best offence in the league until he killed his team.  Neil has no longer given up the most points in the league.  He is now 2nd in that distinction.

Silent But Deadly (6-2 #3) vs. Aqua Teen Hunger Force (2-6 #10)
Didn't I say that Silent But Deadly was ready for a let down coming into this week?  I think I did!  That being said, in a dramatic upset the worst team in the league, Aqua Teen Hunger Force has destroyed the team with the second best record, Silent But Deadly by a score of 111-71.  Okay, the stat of the year.  Silent But Deadly has a 6-2 record and has the 3rd best offence in the league averaging 89.9 points per game.  Whats the big deal?  They give up on average, 90.9 points per game.  Yes, that is right, a 6-2 team has actually scored less than they have allowed.  Now thats some shit.  Neil is just one game out of the playoff hunt dispite a 2-6 record, the worst record in the league.

I Try When I Want To (3-5 #9) vs. Spankingly Delicious (3-5 #7)
I Try When I Want To stole a victory away from Spankingly Delicious this week by a score of 62-58.  Just how did he steal it?  Ben started a backup over a starter, and a guy on bye.  Brian has scored the least amount of points this year, averaging just 66.6 ppg.  Ben has dropped 4 straight since leading the east at 3-1.

Polymorphic Pacifists (8-0 #1) vs. Obligatory Nude Scene (4-4 #4)
When is Priest Holmes on a bye?!  That will be the only week that the Polymorphic Pacifists have a chance to loose.  They have beaten Obligatory Nude Scene 106-96.  You could tell though that the bye affected Scott's team as it scored only 106 points which was 9 points off of their average.  Derrick made Scott look a bit more human this week as he only won by 10 points instead of the 35 he had been used to for most of the season.

Side Notes:
The East is a combined 7-13 vs. the West.  The only team with a winning record, The Horny Priests who sit at 3-1.  All the other teams are 1-3 vs. the west.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force stopped a 6 game skid this week.

10.25.2002

There have been two trades announced.

1.)  The Mossters have traded recievers Eric Moulds ($17) and Joey Galloway ($2) to Obligatory Nude Scene for back Travis Henry ($5) and reciever Jimmy Smith ($15).  It is odd to see interconference trades however, this is the second time both these teams have delt with eachother.  This will no be Jimmy Smith's second stint with The Mossters.  In this trade, Obligatory Nude Scene gains $1 in cap space while The Mossters loose $1.

2.)  The Mossters have traded quarterback Peyton Manning ($25) along with backs Stephen Davis ($18) and Jamal Lewis ($15) to The Flying Monkees in exchange for quarterback Brian Greise ($17) and back Edgerrin James ($40).  This will be the second time Lewis and Manning have been traded, together.  In the trade The Mossters gain $1 in cap space while The Flying Monkees loose $1.

The Mossters have effectively rebuilt thier entire team while on the fly, and in the middle of a conference battle.  They will now be starting at least 5 new players.  Obligatory Nude Scene had backs to burn and now have a competent reciever in Moulds.  Some may remember that Moulds was involved in an illegal contract situation with Obligatory Nude Scene prior to the season starting.  This reeks of Joe Smith and the Wolves.

This weeks free agent dealings:

I Try When I Want To places Kurt Warner ($26) on the IR which ends his season.  His salary is now cut in half for the duration of the season.  Brain now has $17 in cap room available.

Silent But Deadly drops Marc Bulger ($3) and the Minnesota D ($1).  This makes room for the signings of Chris Chandler ($4) and the Atlanta D ($1).

The Horny Priests drop RB Warrick Dunn ($4).

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force announces the addition of WR Brian Finnerann ($1)

Obligatory Nude Scene signs Corey Bradford ($1) with his dollar of cap space.

The Flying Monkees, in what was a busy week, drop Ron Dayne ($1) and Stephen Alexander ($1) in order to sign Anthony Becht ($1) and Joey Porter ($1).

The Showstoppa's sign Cris Carter ($6).
