From our FF guru, Bigassham:What a weekend of NFL games. None better than the ageless Brett Favre sweeping the "washed up?" Green Bay Packers and proving he is the greatest once again. Mr. Favre when you're in Canton I will be there. Anyway another standard week of games in the Spawn FF pool. Some typical outcomes and not a lot of close games. Although one game did come down to Monday nig
ht and was virtually separated by mere decimals until one WR blew up. On to that in a moment.
Game 1 this week had the top dogs Defenestrators against Smooth Operators. Smo
oth was led by some great RB play but his WRs pulled a Braylon Edwards and couldn't amount for anything. Defenstrators continued his dominance with Maurice Jones-Drew destroying all other players on either team. Defen now pulls to a 2 game lead over Smooth in the overall standings.
Game 2 saw SleepingwiththeEnemy trounce He Hate Me by 40 points. Where was All Day? He Hate Me only managed to get 2 players into double digits but the highest was only nearly 14 points. Sleeping had a good day from the RBs and a great day from Reggie Wayne propelling him to victory. Game 3 saw the closest game of the week as Bigassham fell once again to Zoltan's Heroes. Zoltan's avenged their week 1 loss to the Hamster. This game was tied on Monday night with a few decimal points separating the two until Roddy White burst open for a 58 yard TD and the Zoltan's never looked back. This reporter blames himself for turning on the damn game. Bigassham is now cemented in last place and has a huge battle again this week with Smooth. It's not looking good.
Game 4 the hometown heroes Bursley Busses knocked down 9 Finger Freaks into an almost dead even tie with Bigassham in the cellar. In the only bright spot of the weekend for Andy Bursley pulled off the win led by Tony Romo and Marques Colston. 9 Finger was hampered by Steve Slaton's impressive -0.90 score. The only negative score I remember seeing so far this season.
This week will see no one pick up any free points for teams playing the Browns. This should even up some of the standings and bring some more parity into the league. If not then all is lost and football is dead to me.
Signing off.

My team sucked this weekend. But they were still better than the Lions.
After a strong start I am not as "Smooth" as I once was. My loss two weeks ago was due more to my error than anything else. I made some lineup changes but forgot to click on the update changes button so I had the wrong defense in and it cost me. This last week I was just outplayed by the Defenstrators. Considering I have never done this before I guess I am doing ok but it has been fun at least so far.
Yeah I like Yahoo's FF setup. It's very easily manageable and makes it fun. I've never done a "real" FF league with people in a bar mostly on paper. I think that would be confusing.
You're going down this week Smooth!
so apparently the Buckeyes will be wearing throw back unis this year in Ann Arbor, to honor the 1954 national title team
?? OG
here's a pic. I don't like them that much...it's supposed to be a throwback to 1954...but 1954 didn't have that crap on the shoulders or the back outlines on the numbers. Also, they did wear white helmets in 54, but they didn't have the numbers on them.
OSU throwbacks
here's the press release by OSU:
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A statement from Ohio State director of athletics Gene Smith:
“During spring, 2009, Ohio State was invited by Nike to participate in its Rivalry uniform program with several other universities from around the nation. They offered us a chance to try a new uniform product featuring cutting-edge fabrics and technology; participation in the program also offered us a one-time opportunity to salute one of those great championship teams that have built the Ohio State football tradition.
“Our coaches and players were excited to see the different elements Nike presented in the prototype designs and samples. The uniform elements are still in production, and we are extremely eager to see the finished product when it arrives.
“For this special program, we chose to recognize the achievements of our undefeated 1954 national championship team, winning the Big Ten title outright before capturing a Rose Bowl victory. These great Buckeyes celebrated their 55th anniversary with us at the Minnesota game, and this is another way for us to pay homage to their stellar achievements.
“Our fans will be able to get the first look at these unique uniforms on Sunday, Nov. 15, when we will share photos of the finished product on our website OhioStateBuckeyes.com. Fans can also take a look at the actual uniform up close that week in our official Team Shop in the Schottenstein Center. And our team will wear these custom designs when the Buckeyes take the field Nov. 21 up north in Ann Arbor.
“Again, this is a one-time opportunity to honor a great championship team. We have no plans to make any changes to the traditional Buckeye uniform for the foreseeable future.”
