Pirk's Wicked Oil Profiteer$ downed the visiting Abstract Machines, 47-25, to win the season series 1-0-1 and remain undefeated in divisional play. Jeff Garcia led the offensive assault for the home team, torching the Machines' secondary for 18 points. Randy Moss, who had been largely absent from the scoreboard most of the season, brought in 9 points, and Travis Henry ran for an additional 8 as the only featured Profiteer back. The Machines, also running a run-and-shoot offense, had only two players score more than 5 points - Corey Dillon with 10 and kicker Morton Anderson with 9. The four receivers combined for only eight points, or one shy of Moss' total alone. The Machines' Bronco defense nearly doubled up P.W.O.P.'s Saints squad, but it was a Pyrrhic victory for the Mechanical ones, who drop to 2-4-2 on the season. P.W.O.P., meanwhile, have now won three of their last four and improve to 4-3-1.

In what has to be considered the biggest choke of the season, the Sims Stereco fell to The Pimps after failing to take advantage of a late game (Monday night) opportunity. Down only 20 points, the Stereco had five of their eight starters set to go unopposed on Monday Night. Their other three starters - Drew Bledsoe, Stephen Davis, and Terrell Owens - combined for 26 points on Sunday, but three receivers, a kicker, and a defense could only muster an additional 11 come prime time. The Pimps didn't have their best game, but Shaun Alexander's 11 points and Peerless Price's 8 helped pace an effort that turned out to be good enough. It was not a pretty game, particularly with the two defenses combining for only 5 points, but this one will be remembered mostly for the comeback that never was. The disheartening loss drops the Stereco to an equaling disappointing 3-5, while the win keeps The Pimps undefeated and atop the league at 7-0-1. At least Sims won't have too much time to dwell on it; these two meet again in only two weeks.

Jody's Colossal Waste of Time roughed up the Anderson Brewmeisters, 47-25, to avenge their own lopsided defeat at the hands of the Brewmeisters earlier this season. Deuce McAllister had his way with the Anderson defense, scoring a game-high 16 points and helping set up teammate Martin Gramatica's 15. Fresh off the waiver wire, Plaxico Burress marked his return to the C.W.O.T. with 9 big points. Brewmeister Peyton Manning held his own in the loss, beating out Jody's Aaron Brooks, 9-8. Anderson's Steeler defense even out muscled Jody's Browns team, 16-14, but that couldn't compensate for the deficit on offense. Jody improves to 6-2 with the win, their best record after eight games since starting 7-1 in 1999. The Brewmeisters fall back below .500 to 3-4-1 with the loss.

For the second time this season, Priest Holmes had his way with the Piana Raze, leading the hometown Bock Boys to yet another win over the hapless visitors. Holmes had a game-high 13 points for the Bock Boys, who also benefited from Daunte Culpepper and Antowain Smith's 7 apiece. Piana countered with a season-high 9 points from Tiki Barber and an additional 7 from Marty Booker, but was hampered by Antwaan Randle El and Mike Vanderjagt, who each mustered a single point. The silver lining for Piana is that their Cowboy defense outplayed Thomas' Eagles team 10-4, but that couldn't prevent yet another loss. At 0-7-1, Piana has fallen out of playoff eligibility in record time. While on the other end of the division standings, Thomas improves to 6-2 and maintains its one-and-a-half game lead over the surging P.W.O.P..

The Irwin Hellions love playing at home and love playing the Naughty Figs, and when one combines the two it can get ugly pretty quick. Donovan McNabb led the Hellion offense with an electrifying 12 Monday Night points, but this game - like so many others - was won for Irwin on defense. The unrelenting attack of Irwin's Bucs defense stripped an insurmountable 25 points from the Figs' offense while besting the Figs' Bears defense by 23 points. Despite that, the Figs got an encouraging performance from their backfield, where Kevan Barlow and Clinton Portis combined for an impressive 23 points. In the end, though, it still goes down as the sixth loss of the season for the Figs, who's playoff chances seem slim at best. Irwin recovers from its two-game skid to even its record at 4-4 and stay two games back of the Bock Boys in the West.
