This season we're going to be trying a new News & Notes format. Instead of the weekly column (which we all know was more of a "non-column" last season), I'll be doing more of a blog-type column. That is, whenever the mood strikes, be it stats night on Wednesday, the middle of the 4PM game on Sunday, or maybe even a Thursday morning before I leave for work, I'll come here and post entries. Sometimes it will be a paragraph or two, sometimes longer. I'll make sure I put a date on everything so you can easily tell what's new from what you may have already read. So feel free to come to this page often, or continue checking in once a week as the stats update, to check out and catch up on the latest entries in what I hope to be a season long "All My Rowdy" blog. If anyone else has anything to contribute, I'll be more than happy to post it here, with all credit given to the author of course. And if we get one of our infamous 20+ reply e-mail threads going, I may also opt to copy that into this space as well so it's saved for all posterity. October 25th, 2006 Yes, Best One is still the best one this week so this entry going to focus more how the rest of us are living. Here are some stats to ponder over until my next entry... All Time Winning Percentages, Active Owners Joe Mastrangelo .614 (147-91-8) Highest Single Game Scores This Season Lowest Single Game Scores This Season Highest Combined Two Team Single Game Scores This Season Lowest Combined Two Team Single Game Scores This Season Largest Margin Of Victory This Season Longest Winning Streaks This Season Longest Losing Streaks This Season Week 7 Results October 19th, 2006 Greetings from sunny Florida! As the rest of The Commish's crew takes a pool break, I'm here to get a word in on this whole "blow up the stadium" thing. Now if I heard this correctly, there were threats made against seven NFL stadiums and one of them was Oakland? OK, I think I see what's going on here. So the Raiders get blown up, who's gonna miss them? Perhaps this might not be so bad after all? Especially if you're a Raiders fan! So who's behind these threats anyway? I'm reading that Mr. Bin Laden himself would claim responsibility for the blasts if they were to happen but are we maybe confusing Al-Qaeda with Al-Davis here? Yes, I've got my tongue planted firmly in my cheek folks! Let's hope this is just another hair-brained cry for attention by some wacko and not the real thing and everything's alright at all seven of these sites come Sunday. And in case you missed the e-mail on Wednesday night, here are the Week 6 results, very high scoring mind you! Hell Froze Over 66, We Was Robbed 29 Dark Side Of The Warren Moon 65, Southern Discomfort 23 Go Nuts 61, Touchback Mountain 33 Best One 51, Claretts Innocent 16 The Return Of The Binder 38, The Croc Hunters 37 Soft 20 33, Favrefegnugen 32 Pam And Da Boyz 33, The First And Goalfather 27 October 11th, 2006 Les Results De Week 5 Well for the third week in a row we've got a new first place team! Brian Legere puts the "diss" back in Southern Discomfort, showing absolutely no southern hospitality to Don & John as he spanks their Favrefegnugen squad 50 - 26, improves to 4 - 1 and moves into first place over all in the league. Yes folks the South shall rise again, Legere South that is! For Don & John it's their 2nd straight loss but to their credit no bickering yet amongst the owners. With hockey season beginning, their attentions were collectively focused elsewhere as evidenced by their attempted transaction last week to drop Trent Green and pick up Paul Newman. Hey they need someone from the Chiefs! And they will now probably try to slide each Hanson Brother into one of their wide receiver slots this week I better pay attention. Dropping from the top spot and the ranks of the undefeated at the same time is Russ "Mr." Jones, who is no longer the Best One in the league after dropping a 39 - 23 decision to The Return Of The Binder. Mr. Jones and me, maybe not gonna be such big stars after all? With the win the Binder moves up to 3rd place and now is sporting a nice 3 game winning streak to boot. At 4 - 1, it's the best start in franchise history for the Boyz and the win total right now after Week 5 equals the entire output of some of those awesomely poor teams from the early 1990s back when Bobby & Mike used to name their teams after Bruce Springsteen songs. You think after going 3 - 13 - 1 they'd realize that perhaps Born To Run wasn't such a good name and maybe Darkness On The Edge Of Town would be more apropos? Well they were just Waiting For A Sunny Day and now are (the) Rising up the standings once again! This week's High Point Washington (as in George) goes to Dark Side Of The Warren Moon as Joe & Charlie win their second in a row, defeating The First And Goalfather by a score of 52 - 23. Dark Side went all "touchy-Feely" this week as kicker Jay Feely led the way with 13 points. As for the Goalfather, he drops to 1 - 4 but inside sources tell me that team management is still happy with the job that Fab is doing and will not pursue a coaching change, opting instead to sign Mr. Sparacino to a long term contract. Rumors put the contract in the 15 year, 60 million dollar range... Pam And Boyz stay hot (or if you prefer en espanol then Senor Ken es el fuego!), doing the 198% thing again, with this week's near-doubling victim being Touchback Mountain, whom they outscored 33 - 17. The win is the 3rd in a row for Pam & Ken and puts them atop the N-Cubed Division (NY/NJ/NE) for the first time all season. As for Rob up there on T-Bag Mountain he's thinking about fantasy football and wishing he could "just quit you" but as the residents of he mountain know, something just keeps bringing you back, season after season. The calendar changes but the sheep remain the same. Hey wasn't that a Led Zeppelin album? I don't know, it's been a long time since I rock and rolled. Oh and by the way, I see their are a whole bunch of discounted Colts helmets on sale on eBay that can be had real cheap... So when is Neil going to do something about his kicking situation? With Bengal Shayne Graham on a bye and Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri collecting workers comp, Claretts Innocent drops their 3rd straight, losing 24 - 21 at the hands of The Commish & Kevin's Croc Hunters. For Team Croc, Monday Night finally didn't turn out to be a crock after all. Leading by three after Sunday, but still with the Ravens defense playing against them, they had to once again sweat out the prospects of losing their game on defensive points; remember the Jaguars shutting out the Steelers? Oh the agony! But as the most boring game in Monday night history remained scoreless, The Commish found an old Ray Lewis Limo Service logo on his computer and fashioned a makeshift voodoo doll, allowing the Broncos to score the necessary "more than 10" points in the 2nd half and wrap up the game for The Croc Hunters. Did I say "thank you Mr. Flinn" yet for that Ray Lewis Limo Service logo? Ah, the good old days when the Flinns won and KGB lost and words were exchanged and fights broke out and fans of both squads taunted each other... OK, back to reality, yes the Flinns still win occasionally, as evidenced by this week's 33 - 27 win by We Was Robbed over Soft 20, but it's just not the same I tell you. I was watching the game, sporting my old throwback Jackie Smith's Drop jersey from 1997, but there's no drama anymore. Robbed jumps out to a lead, Brian B closed the gap in the 4 o'clock games then decided to hit a Soft 17 with the dealer showing a jack and count high, then it's queen for 17, hit again, one of the suicide kings for 27 and bust; game over; Flinns win. Thhheeeee Flinnnnns win! Finally, in a well fought defensive struggle, Hell Froze Over bests Go Nuts 21 - 15. And Marc even needed Jake Plummer's late TD pass on Monday Night to top the 20 points mark. I think he actually added a pin to The Commish's makeshift voodoo doll too. This game was played on the home turf of Hell Froze Over, the newly built stadium aptly named The Frozen Tundra and things were so cold that Bruce and Alex were freezing their Go Nuts off! Good thing Morten Andersen had a bye because it would've been real hard to kick field goals while encased in a block of ice... The league needs to look into having future Hell games played at another sight. Perhaps Hell's Kitchen maybe? Then when a visiting team loses the crowd can chant "put a fork in them they're done". And so am I, done with this week's update as a matter of fact. Commish out!
