Kid Cid gets beat by Steve Smith on Monday night, and is the next to swim to the buoy. With Marion Barber out, Fast Willie getting 2, and Braylon Edwards disappearing again, KC gets 48, Grits scores 59, and Atomic moves up to 63. So long, Kid.

Riff puts up a huge 110, and looks to be the current favorite.

And now there are 4.

kiss of death

Kupcho is the leading scorer by about 100 points over the #2 team. And while I had the highest score the last 2 weeks, I only had 1 and 3 more points than Kupcho those weeks. He's also had the most high scoring weeks of the teams remaining. I'll say he's the favorite.

Fraking Willie Parker!

I literally do not know how my team has lasted so long ... Hass has been out most of the season, Chris Perry was a bust, McGahee has been injured and/or a non-factor most of the season.

My season has to come crashing down around me this week.

I've been remarkably fortunate in how things have broken this year (e.g., Rodgers, Turner, DeAngelo) and avoiding injuries (:fingerscrossed:). Other than Troy Smith (my other option was Brady Quinn, so ...) and Javon Walker (who did actually appear on the top of the scoresheet at least once or twice this year) it's been a good year.

But has high score (either weekly or overall) ever won this thing???

If you are lucky to make it that far, the high score in week 17 has never lost.

Of the 4 teams remaining, I've got:
- the worst starting QB, behind by 30 to 100 points.
- the worst WR group. Isaac Bruce is my leading WR. Can I get a shout out?
- RBs that are midrange. Probably the 3rd best of the 4 teams.
- the best kicker by 2 points. Oh joy.
- the only team without an IR guy, so I've got that going for me.

Westy has to have a really good game or my season is over.

I think this newbie has discovered the "reverse mojo" early in his career! And it seems to be working!

What are the odds that Jamal Lewis will score enough points to hold off Westbrook? My 5 point lead against Riffraff looks insufficient. I'm thinking I will need at least ONE TD from Jamal and even that may not be enough.

Hope the water isn't too cold

If you stand next to HoP...it's surprisingly very warm

Westy dropped at the 1 yard line may have been the nail in the coffin.

And that's all she wrote. Eagles pulled their starters with 9 minutes to go.

You are correct sir. Amazingly enough I survived another week. I have been stretching and stretching and stretching for weeks now in preparation for my swim. Next week I'm sure to hit the water ... but I will be so exhausted from all the streching that I will probably drown before going 25 yards.
