The Anderson Brewmeisters dropped their third straight this week, this time to the division leading Pimps.  Largely on the strength of stellar play of their Bears Defense, the visiting Pimps jumped out to a commanding 50 point lead almost before the home team’s offense took the field.  And when Brewsky running back Brian Westbrook landed on the inactive list, the home team’s fate was sealed.  Offensively, the victors had no superstars, but enough good performances to get the job done.  QB John Kitna and kicker Kris Brown managed 9 apiece, tight end Jason Witten added 7, and RB Adrian Peterson managed 6, to lead the winners.  For the losers, Peyton Manning (16 pts) and LaDanian Tomlinson (11) finally performed to expectations; however, the rest of the team took the week off to join Westbrook, as no other starter managed more than Tory Holt’s 3 points.  And when the San Diego Defense, in another lackluster performance, managed to take only 8 points away from the visitors, it spelled another “L” for last season’s Eastern Division Champs.  The loss leaves the Brewskies at 1-3 for the season, now 2 games behind the division leading 3-1 Pimps.

Pirkle’s Wicked Oil Profiteers evened their record with a  19 - 3  win against the hapless Abstract Machines, who set a new season mark for total scoring futility.  The Little Sisters of the Poor would have had no trouble beating the Machines this week, as nobody showed up to support Tom Brady, whose stellar, 13 point, three touchdown performance was about all there was to cheer about for the hometown faithful.  Pirk’s Profiteer offense was even worse, with kicker Mason Crosby’s 11 points accounting for exactly half their total.  QB Phil Rivers, having understudied Drew Brees for two years, threw two pics and coughed up a fumble for a Brees-like -2.  The game turned on the outstanding play of Pirk’s Seattle defense, which tallied 6 sacks, two pics, and a DFR in a 26 points-against performance, while Mike’s Ravens D, usually one of the league’s best, turned in a dismal 3 point total.  The win leaves the P.W.O.P. at 2-2, two games back of Dad in the West, while the Machines, now at 1-3, own the keys to the cellar.

The Thomas Bock Boys continued their blazing start to the ’07 season, with a 36 – 27 win over the Irwin Hellions in the unofficial game of the week.  Thomas got a major team effort this week, with every starter contributing at least 4 points.  The Boys took slim one point lead into the Monday night, Patriots-Cincy matchup, where Thomas’ Randy Moss outclassed Irwin’s Chad Johnson 11 – 3 to cement the final score.  Moss led all players, although kicker Nate Kading matched his 11 for the losers.  The Cowboys defense kept Thomas in the game with a 14 points-against score, while the Hellions’ Eagles D managed only a 9.  What may have been the biggest disappointment for the losers, however, was the lackluster play of quarterback Donovan McNabb, whose single point set a new low for the season.  Thomas’ Boys, now undefeated through the first four games, maintain their one-game lead over the Raze in the Western Division, while Irwin falls two games off the pace and into a tie for third at 2-2.

The Sims Stereco remain 0-for-the-season after an excruciatingly close loss to the Colossal Waste of Time this week.  Up by eight heading into the final matchup of the weekend, Sims had not enough bullets left to counter the Palmer-Horsemeudo duo of the Jodys.  Palmer had his poorest outing of the season, with just four points; but, his lone touchdown pass went to Housemeringey, who finished with 8 for the victors.  When the Stereco’s lone Monday night receiver, Wes Welker, managed but 2 points, it tallied up to another turd for Sims. The game had started out promisingly enough, with quarterback Brett Favre making the most of his second start, posting 11 points, and lone back Joe Addai matching that.  Kicker Robbie Gould put up a 9, and the Packers D tallied a 12-against for the Stereco.  However, the C.W.O.T.’s Ronnie Brown rang up a 14, to lead all position players, and in a brilliant piece of defensive strategy, Jody chose this game to give his Tampa Bay D its first start of the season.  The Bucs responded with a 14 points-against performance that kept the visiting C.W.O.T. in the game until the Cincy duo could put them over the top on Monday night.  The win evens up clock-watchers record at 2-2, and keeps them only a game behind the Pimps in the Eastern Division.  The lowly Stereco remain the only winless team in the league, and are now three games off pace, needing to go 6-3 over the remainder of the season to qualify for the playoffs.

The Piana Raze have the Enfuego Field faithful to thank for their latest win, a one-pointer over the visiting Naughty Figs.  In a game in which both offensive and defensive stars belonged to the Figs, the home field advantage became the decider.  Adam Vinatieri and Matt Schaub had 8 points apiece for the winners, but Brandon’s Matt Hasselbeck led all position players with a 10.  And Brandon’s Steelers D outplayed Brian’s Colts D, 10 – 7.  This was a disappointing game for both teams, with the Raze being lucky to escape with a win in such a low scoring contest.  However, a win it was, and it allows Brian to move to 3-1, and remain a single game back of the Bock Boys in the Western Division.  The Naughty Figs lost their share of first in the East, and at 2-2 drop into a tie with the Jody’s, a game off the Pimps.
