Blawger Bowl Week 4: The Update
Several of us blawgers are fighting it out in a fantasy football league. Here’s a quick snapshot of this week’s results:
Promote the Progress 85
CRC’s Inducers 61
My PTP’ers posted their first victory of the year in a game that was not even close. With our highest scoring player (drew Brees) sitting on the bench, we had plenty of point-grabbers to go around this week. We gambled on Leftwich at QB, and his breakout performance was key.
The Tampa Bay defense induced a slowdown in CRC’s recently initiated charge, posting gooseeggs in all major defensive categories to produce only a single point. A single point. Defense won’t win many games for this team in its current form. They’ll have to try something else. Trash talking worked last week for the Inducers — Expect them to start slinging smack again to return to victory.
He benched Favre. Can you win with Favre on the bench? The Advisor can. He charged on an amazing performance by the Jets defense. Four sacks, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and a TD. He should sit Favre every week….
Loosely Coupled was barely coupled, with Kid Palmer throwing his second straight multiple interception game. Steve McNair’s front row seat on the bench may be the thing that uncoupled this team. Good thing he’s probable next week.
Favre and McNair matched in Fantasy this week…and both rode the pine. Next week they play head-to-head for real. There’s some Zen in there somewhere…

Ernie the Attorney 67
This one was close. Alstott gave Nipper a gooseegg, and the Baltimore defense was non-existant on Monday night. Luckily, Tiki the Barber served Nipper the performance he needed to take this close shave.
Ernie was kind enough to help Nipper by keeping his best talent on the bench. Roethllisberger…who knew? (He’s from Northwest Ohio, I probably would have played him). Who knew Emmitt Smith had a 127 yard performance in him? Ernie acquired him the morning of the game, and kept him on the bench. Must have still been working out contract details…
ActualMalice 75
The Importance Of 65
What happens if you held a football game and no one came? These guys did their best to answer this nagging question.
Actualmalice chose to test the brand-new addage that the best defense is a mediocre offense. Actually, Malice took it one step further….forget the defense. Who needs one….
This coaching theory only works when your opponent plays without a quarterback. Never underestimate The Importance of a Quarterback. You need someone to call the plays. Anyone will do. The Importance of matched Malice’s chess move of eliminating defense. He eliminated his QB and one of his running backs. Can you picture this offense? Poor Clinton Portis (RB) was left in the backfield all by himself. What a sight! A running back taking a snap and running against a non-existant defense. Only in fantasy football can the offense lose in this scenario!
Patently Obvious 79
Libertarians 129
The Priest gave Obvious last rights on Monday night, canning a 24 point performance to add to the Libertarians already established victory. Having to bench Culpepper to survive the bye was an Obvious problem.
These guys kissed their respective sisters this week. With a 69 point tie, they’ve got to be scratching their heads looking for that 1 point that got away. For Buzz, Chad Lewis produced a gooseegg, and missed adding 1 point by a single yard (he had 9 receiving yards). Ouch.
