A Champion is Crowned!!!

The 2008 3 Team Football Frenzy Championship goes to:

#5 Jeff Gravatt

Congratulations. He'll get to "keep" the trophy until next year, but more importantly he'll get to take home $120.00.

2nd place (the 1st loser) goes to the no. 2 seeded 5687 (Janet King). She'll get $60.00. I suppose next time when she goes 9-2 picking for herself all season she won't ask her husband (kinger 6-5) for advice in the championship.

3rd place, and $20.00, goes to #4 kerri78 (Kerri Lucke), and 4th place with no money to #6 Stephanie (Stephanie Vodvarka).

Congratulations to all of you who earned money, and thanks you everyone who played. I look forward to playing you all again next year. Enjoy your 2008 NFL Playoffs... without the Patriots, or the Cowboys, or Brett Favre.

Oh, yeah... How 'Bout Them Ravens!?!?!

Week 16 Plays of the Week

Question: What running back was the last player to score a touchdown in Dallas's Texas Stadium?

Answer: LeRon McClain, Baltimore Ravens;

Question: What two running backs tied and then set a new record for longest touchdown runs by an opponent in Dallas's Texas Stadium?

Answer: Willis McGahee (77yds) and LeRon McClain (82yds);



Suck it Cowboys, now blow up that POS Stadium before Jerry Jones goes into cardiac arrest.

Playoffs, Championship Round (Weeks 16 & 17)

At halftime of the championship round Jeff Gravatt leads 5687 by 24 points, 7-(-17). The Colts beat out the Jaguars in a come from behind, 31-24 victory giving Jeff his 7 pts. and the Steelers, in a battle for AFC supremacy, lost to the Titans, giving the Titans the #1 seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs and taking 17 pts. from 5687.

In the other games that mattered, the Patriots pasted what could be the worst playoff team in the history of the NFL (although the AFC West winner could have a decent argument in that one), the Arizona Cardinals, 47-7. That thumping, along with the Giants win in overtime by only 6 moves Stephanie into the final consolation round for a chance at third place and $20.00, 40-6 over Mark Wood. With my boys puttin' it to The 'Boys IN Dallas in what WILL be the last game played in Texas Stadium ever, 33-24, and the Colts win, kerri78 wins, 7-(-9) to go into the final consolation round up against Stephanie.

With one week left in the NFL regular season I want to take the time to thank all of you for playing and I hope you enjoyed playing and will join us again next season. Good luck in Week 17 to the four remaining players.

Playoffs, Round 2 (Week 15)

Round two of the playoffs is finished. In a bit of a shocker, the Bengals knocked off the Redskins for only their 2nd win of the season knocking Mark Wood out of championship contention. The 20-13 Bengals victory coupled with the 49-26 pounding the Raiders took from the Patriots propelled Jeff Gravatt into the championship round against 5687. 5687 squeaked into the championship on the strength of the officials ripping the game right out of the Ravens hands, and handing it to the Steelers.



You tell me where there was INDISPUTABLE evidence?!?

Actually if that game would have ended in a 9-6 Ravens win, 5687 would have made it in anyway, as The Jets held on to a 31-27 win over the Bills with a last minute fumble recovery for a TD. As it stands 5687 won 4-(-4) over andy73.

With the weeks games, the two week championship round sets up like this:
#5 Jeff Gravatt vs. #2 5687

And round 1 of the consolation bracket looks like this with the winners moving on to battle for 3rd and 4th places while the losers are out and only 3rd place will win money:
#6 Stephanie vs #1 Mark Wood
#3 andy73 vs. #4 kerri78, keeping it in the family

Good luck to you all on your picks for week 16.

Playoffs, Round 1 (Week 14)

Round 1 of the playoffs are done. Two take a step toward the championship and two get pushed down to the consolation bracket... Sorry Stephanie and kerri78.

Moving on is #5 Jeff Gravatt to face #1 Mark Wood and #3 andy73 to face #2 5687. The Colts pounded the Bengals (like they should have) 35-3 and the Patriots eeked out a 24-21 win, which gave andy73 the win, 32-3, over Stephanie. Jeff Gravatt moved on over kerri78 due to his regular season points differential advantage of 84-46. In the first round BYE games, #1 Mark Wood and #2 5687, the Giants got beat by the Eagles, and the Bears took care of business against the Jaguars.

Round 2 sets up like this:
#1 Mark Wood vs.
#5 Jeff Gravatt

#3 andy73 vs.
#2 5687

and in the consolation bracket its:
#6 Stephanie and #4 kerri78 who will both get a consolation BYE until the rest of that bracket can be filled out, but still need to make a pick in case a tiebreaker is needed.

Good luck everyone.

Week 13 Results

The necessary results for Week 13 are in and the playoff bracket is full.

The Ravens pounded on the Bengals to the tune of 450+ yds, another pick-6, and 34 points to ensure andy73 of his place in the playoffs as a #3 seed. Other division clinchers included the Colts zero-offensive-TD 10-6 win coupled with the Chargers loss to the Falcons which gave the Kent Division to kerri78 as a #4 seed, and the New York Football Giants win clinched the Sussex Division for Mark as the #1 seed thanks to the Jets getting beat by the Broncos who just last week got beat by the Raiders. The Colts win along with the Chargers loss pushed Stephanie into the playoffs as the #6 seed.

So the playoff pairings look like this:
#1 Mark and #2 5687 get first round BYES but still need to make a pick for week 14 just incase those scores are needed for tiebreaking in round 2 or later.

#3 andy73 takes on #6 Stephanie in round one (week 14) and,
#4 kerri78 takes on #5 Jeff Gravatt in round one (week 14).

You can get on and make your picks for week 14 if you want even though the selection window won't OFFICIALLY open until midnight tomorrow night. The only thing that happens, though, is you will get a message that pops up and says the selection window for WEEK 13 is now closed... that has no effect on your pick for week 14. Good luck to those who made it into the playoffs, and thanks to everyone for playing. I look forward to having you all again next year if you wish. If you haven't already please take the time to fill out the short, 5 question, survey that pops up when you log onto the site. Thanks again.

NOTE: The site won't allow you to pick a team you're not allowed to pick. The playoffs refresh team picks. As is stated in the rules, you CAN pick the same team in week 14 as you did in week 13, but once into the playoffs you can not pick the same team two weeks in a row. Also, make sure to read up on the tiebreakers for the playoffs. The first tiebreaker is total playoff scoring and the second is playoff scoring added to regular season points differential. So, if in the first round you pick the same team as the person you are playing, the tiebreak will go to whomever has the higher regular season points differential since in round one, everything else will be the same.

Playoff Scenarios

In the interest of objectivity, I have decided to do away with the playoff scenarios posted at the bottom of each divisions' standings. Anyone who wants to know what it will take to get into the playoffs will have to figure it out on their own. Good luck.

Interesting Tidbits

Strange how things work out sometimes. In this my third season of running the 3 Team Football Frenzy I decided to check on division parity... not between players, but between the divisions as a whole. My findings are nothig extravagant, just a litte bit interesting.

As of Week 12, all three divisions are fairly even. The overall total records for each division are as follows:

Division	Record	Win Pct.	GB	Pts Dif
Sussex	33-17	.660	--	+217
New Castle	31-17-2	.627	-1	+183
Delaware	31-19	.620	-2	+214
Kent	31-19	.620	-2	+207

I think it's pretty interesting how it breaks down.
Just sayin'.

Week 12 Results

Week 12 is over and the scores are in. The playoff picture is still fuzzy, but slowly clearing up as three spots are now taken, leaving only 3.

We'll start there; 5687 who clinched the Delaware Division last week won again. As expected the Bears took care of business versus the hapless Rams, 27-3. That coupled with the 3 point win the Redskins eeked out over Seattle moved 5687 back into the #1 seed over Mark Wood by 3 points... for now. With wins by both the 'Skins and the Bucs, Mark Wood and Jeff Gravatt have become the two newbies to the playoff scene, respectively, while continuing to battle it out for the Sussex Division. They've battled it out all season, but Mark Wood's point differential gives him a huge edge. In order to lose the division crown, Mark Wood will have to lose while Jeff Gravatt wins, or win by 80 points less than Jeff Gravatt, or lose by 80 points more than Jeff Gravatt.

The Cowboys have helped 6 individual players hang on to their playoff hopes while dashing the hopes of one. Andy73, Monica, kerri78, cameron21, Stephanie, and wissinger are still in the hunt thanks to the Cowboys 35-22 victory over the Niners. That game, however, eliminated Eric from playoff contention. Eric along with 5 others found themselves pushed out of contention. Even though the Colts won23-20 over the Chargers on Sunday Night Football, Pirates was still eliminated from a chance at the playoffs, as well as a win by the Bears couldn't help TriciaH, and a Patriot win over Dolphins, 48-28, didn't help Joey Gravatt; It did, however, keep Jeff C.'s dim playoff hopes alive. A loss by the Broncos... scratch that... a drubbing of the Broncos by the Raiders, 31-10 (IN DENVER!!!) helped kinger. It helped kinger march his way out of the playoffs. The Steelers 27-10 victory on Thursday night, coupled with the Cowboys win, kept the Kent Division deadlocked, with jwark slightly extending his points differential lead over kerri78. Staying in the Kent Division, the Saints helped dayzd toe's playoff hopes with a big 51-29 win over the Packers in New Orleans.

A couple of other notable games in the NFL: Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre!!! That's all we're going hear from here on out as he, Thomas Jones, and Leon Washington ROLLED over the no longer undefeated Titans in Nashville. If you had any reservations that the Giants are the best team in football this year, that, along with the way the Giants' three-headed rushing monster ran all over the Ravens' no. 1 ranked rushing defense last week, should extinguish those thoughts. The Eagles just plain suck. A TIE last week in Cincinatti and this week they just got DEMOLISHED by the Ravens. McNabb was benched after the first half in favor of second year "Rookie" Kolb, for performance issues. What issues, you may ask... Well 2 picks and a lost fumble will get you benched pretty quickly in the NFL. Of course, Kolb didn't fair much better against an ANGRY Ravens' D. He was intercepted two times with one of them from the 2 inch line being run back from 8 yards deep in the endzone for a new NFL record 108 yd pick-6. The Eagles bent over and took it, 36-7 from my boys. Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, is the victory the Raiders put on the Broncos, as I mentioned earlier, IN DENVER.

So now, with one week left there are 10 players still alive and only three playoff spots open. The playoff clinching scenarios are posted with any scenario that maybe determined by points differential (example, jwark and kerri78 both win) not broken down.

Non Sports News

In case you haven't seen this yet... They're heeeeerrrreeee!
Canada, 11/20/2008:

Nah, just a big meteor, they say.

Week 12 Play of the Week.

Ed Reed broke his own NFL record (106yds) returning an interception 108yds for a TD.

Week 11 Results

Week 11 is over. With the first 11-10 final in NFL history (almost 13,000 games) 5687 has clinched the Delaware Division as the Steelers beat the Chargers on a snowy night. In other strange-but-true news the Eagles and Bengals scored 13 points each to end with a tie. What I'm not sure about is... is it stranger that the Eagles, of the big bad NFC East, couldn't dispose of the 1-8 Bengals, that the game actually ended in a tie, or that the on-field leader of the Eagles offense didn't know that a regular season NFL game COULD end in a tie? That's right, he thought he would go into a second overtime and get the chance to win the game. Wow. Just wow.
(Regarding the tie- This is the first tie in the history of the 3 Team Frenzy. As you probably noticed, there was no column for ties. In an effort to get the most accurate scoring up in the most expeditious manner, I made a tie worth half of a win and half of a loss. If you signed on last night after the Eagles game or this morning before lunch you noticed the 6.5-3.5 and 4.5-4.5 records posted by LRobbins and pirates respectively. Those represented the tie since both players picked the Eagles. At lunch time that changed. I added a "T" column representing ties. Now their records read 6-3-1 and 4-4-1. The Win % is still calculated in accordance with the NFL, where, for win% purposes, a tie counts as half of a win and half of a loss hence 6-3-1=6.5 wins out 10 total games, or a win % of .650.)

The Colts pushed andy73 closer to a division title with their 33-27 win over Texans and kerri78 won her 4th in a row to close in on the Kent Division leader, while Monica was able keep pace with a Panthers 31-22 win over the now 0-10 Detroit Lions. I just don't see a win in the Lions future this season. Tampa, Tennessee, Minnesota, Indianapolis, and New Orleans... that's their remaining schedule. If you see a win in there let me know. Although he's been eliminated from a chance at the New Castle Division, Eric continues to cling to his playoff hopes as the Broncos pulled out victory over the Falcons, 24-20. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning over the Vikings, jwark has opened the door to the Kent Division, and now there are 2 standing tied at 6-3 with jwark holding the edge in points differential. Thanks to the Bills losing I am not part of that deadlocked Kent Division. With that Steelers win that I talked about earlier, cameron21 has won his third straight and is still holding on to hope for a wild card spot. The Giants 30-10 drubbing of my Ravens, coupled with the one point win by the Steelers, moved Mark Wood back into the top seed over 5687, and Jeff Gravatt kept pace with the Colts win. And playing for pride, aj9696 got his 3rd win in a row, although it's much too little, much too late.

As I mentioned before 5687 has clinched her division and, hence, a playoff berth... the first of the year. Only 5 remain and it's looking like 2 will go to Mark Wood and Jeff Gravatt as they only need to win one of their remaining two to get in, leaving three; which are all wide open.

With a win, and a loss by Monica, andy73 can clinch New Castle Division. That's only division clinching scenario available next week, but the rest of the playoff scenarios are up on the standings page.

Week 12 is open for picks and Pittsburgh takes on Cincinatti starting Thursday at 8:15 so make sure your picks are in by then. Good luck everyone.

Week 10... High Jump of the Week

Week 10 Results

Week 10 is finito and the playoff picture has gone from a snowy, fuzzy, barely there to a pixelated mess. But it IS coming into focus... slowly.

The Ravens went into Houston and won their 4th straight, 3 of which were on the road, and are now tied for the AFC North Division lead after the Colts took care of business against the Steelers. Those victories kept andy73 in the lead in the New Castle Division by a half game over LRobbins who's won 3 straight her self. The Chargers eeked out a victory at home against the Chiefs, 20-19, helping Monica keep pace in that division, and Eric is holding on to his slight playoff hopes with a victory by the Patriots. The Saints have now helped my losing streak reach 3 by not really showing up in Atlanta, and now its going to be a tough climb for me to get to the playoffs. The Jags helped Mark Wood keep his division lead, however even though he's tied for the best record in the league, he has lost the #1 seed this week with the pounding the Jets put on the POS Rams. With that 47-3 victory 5687 has moved to no. 1, based on points differential, by one point. The Broncos come from behind win in Cleveland helped kinger stay in the race... at least for another week.

On to the playoff picture-aj9696 has officially been eliminated from playoff contention. Even with a win, it wasn't in his control, as andy73, LRobbins, and jwark got wins to seal his fate. As for next week, several players find themselves on the cusp; Pirates, Eric, cameron21, TriciaH, kinger, Stephanie, Jeff C., nik98, wissinger, and Joey Gravatt are those most immediately going to be effected for the playoffs.

Week 11 is now available for picks. Again, football starts at 8:00 Thursday, so get your picks in by then. If you don't, you'll take a loss with points being recorded and as you can see 1 pt can mean the difference between a first round bye and not. Good luck everyone.

Week 9 Results

Week 9 is over; the results are in. The Eagles take out the Seahawks, 26-7, to help LRobbins move up in the standings. The Cowboys suck now as they were beaten so badly TO didn't even have anything to say about the game... 35-14, Giants, to keep Mark atop the Sussex Division and help him keep the #1 seed as it stands right now. The Broncos are having some trouble right now, as they lost their 3rd straight handing the Dolphins their 4th win this season. The Bears kept the Detroit Lions winless with a come-from-behind win, 27-23. The Buccaneers also had to come from behind to win in overtime against the 1-7 Chiefs. The Vikings come out winners, the Colts beat the Patriots, and the Steelers put away the Redskins rather handily to maintain their 1 game lead in the AFC North on my boys.

In other news, the Ravens scored 24 unanswered points to come from a 27-13 deficit and beat the Browns 37-27. Yeah Purple and Black! Also, in other news, the Bengals finally got off the Bagel Train and picked up their first victory, beating the Jaguars.

On to week 10... Week 10 is a short week. Games start on Thursday at 8:00pm, so you only have a couple of days to get your picks in. And this late in the season forgetting a pick could be the difference between playing in week 14 and missing the playoffs.

Speaking of playoffs, there are MORE playoff implications this week as the playoff picture is beginning to take shape. 5687 can wrap up the Delaware Division this week, and a couple of people can be eliminated from the playoffs altogether. The details can be found on the standings page below each divisions' standings.

You have about 68 hours to get your pick in for week 10. Good luck this week everyone.

Hit of the Week... Week 9

Week 8, Chargers/Saints in London

Week 8 Results

Week 8 is complete and with a win, aj9696 is still in contention. Winners include the Cowboys over the Bucs, the Panthers over the Cardinals in come-from-behind fashion, the Seahawks pounding the Niners, and the Chargers losing to Drew Brees and the Saints in London. In addition, the Bills got beat by the Dolphins who stand at 3-4, only 2 games out of their division. The Redskins won. It may not have been pretty but they DID win. The Patriots put the Rams back in their place after they beat the Redskins and Cowboys in consecutive weeks. The Jets eeked out a winner on a last minute TD catch by Laverneus Coles to send the Chiefs to 1-6, and my boys told the Raiders where to go... Ravens 29, Raiders 10.

In other games, the Bungles just plain suck, 0-7 now, after giving up 35 points to the Texans, and only scoring 6 themselves and the Giants/Steelers game was a good one, with the Giants coming out on top, 21-14.

Week 9 is upon us and the playoff picture, although still very fuzzy, is starting to show SOME details... If Mark Wood or Jeff Gravatt win, aj9696 will be eliminated from any chance to win the Sussex division, leaving the wild card as his only possible chance at the playoffs. In the Delaware division, if Joey Gravatt loses he will be eliminated from contention at the division, leaving the wild card as his only path to the playoffs.

The week 9 selection window is open and you have until 11/2 at 1:00pm to make your selection for the week. BYE's this week go to andy73, jwark, dayzd toe, kerri78, aj9696, and 5687. Good luck this week to everyone.

Hit of The Week... Week 7

This one comes not from the NFL but from the South Carolina Gamecocks and the LSU Tigers.



That's right. You saw it right! The ref just threw a shoulder into the South Carolina QB. That just ain't right!

Week 7 Results

The games are over and the results are in. We're halfway through the season now with no unbeatens and there are playoff implications on the horizon, but I'll get to that later.

The Rams, who upset the Redskins last week, pulled off a HUGE upset this week. They beat the Cowboys (STUPID COWBOYS!!!) 34-14 and are surprisingly in second place only 2 games out of the weak NFC West. On a Madden-less (for the first time in like 476 weeks, some 28 years or something) Sunday Night Football the Bucs dispatched of the preseason NFC West favorite Seahawks, who fell to 1-5, 20-10. With the Rams game and the 38-10 thrashing the 0-7 Bengals took from the Steelers there was a bit of a shake up in the standings. I went from unbeaten to second in my division with the division being taken over by jwark by 10 points.

Other games included the Ravens getting the W over the Dolphins, 27-13 (so much for the Wildcat offense, huh), the Colts, who gave the Ravens a beatdown last week, took it themselves this week, 14-34, and the Giants moved to 5-1 with a 29-17 win over the Niners. The Jets got beat by the Raiders in OT, 16-13, the Chargers got beat by the Bills, 23-14, and the Saints did NOT help aj9696 get off the schneid as they got trounced, 30-7. The Patriots gave the Broncos the What-For on MNF, 41-7, and that helped kerri78 to move up in the standings.

With that Saints game aj9696 moves into a position to be eliminated from playoff contention next week... and become the first casualty of the 2008 football season. If aj9696 loses and andy73, Mark Wood, and Jeff Gravatt all win, aj9696 will be eliminated based on record. Good luck getting that first W next week aj.

The selection window for week 8 is now open and will remain open until Sunday October 26 at 1:00pm. If you haven't made a pick and aren't on BYE or if you want to change your pick you have until then to get it in for week 8. You can look to the frame on the right to see who has made a pick, who hasn't, and who is on BYE this week. Good luck to you all, but especially aj9696 and Joey Gravatt as you guys are still looking for your first win.

Week 6 Highlights

Week 6 Results

There's still one more game to go this week, but who is it again? Oh yeah, the Giants and the Browns. Nobody in this league cares about this game. So on to the results.

In somewhat of an upset the Cowboys got beat by the Cardinals. Maybe the Cowboys aren't quite the juggernaut most thought they were. The Eagles left SF 40-26 winners over the Niners. The Colts POUNDED the Ravens. I guess that's what 5 turnovers on the road in Indy will do for you... 31-3. The Saints were big winners, 34-3, leaving yours truly as the only remaining unbeaten. That's right. I said the ONLY REMAINING UNBEATEN. And that leads me to the UPSET OF THE WEEK... With the way the Redskins have been playing and the way the Rams have been playing, this game was a total gimme... a no brainer!!! I mean the 'Skins were double digit favorites for crying out loud. Not so, as the RAMS went into DC and picked up their first victory of the year, 19-17. The Vikings won, the Jets won, and the Broncos, Patriots, and Seahawks lost.

Starting Tuesday, the selection window for week 7 will be open. You'll have until Sunday the 19th at 1:00pm to get your picks in. Good luck to everyone, but especially to aj9696 and Joey Gravatt. Nobody likes to be winless.

Hit of The Week... Week 5

The Saints Jo-Lonn Dunbar puts a hell of block on the Vikings EJ Henderson to spring Reggie Bush's FIRST punt return for a TD.

Week 5 Results...

That was a hell of block that just sprang Reggie Bush for a 71 yard punt return for a touchdown. The Saints are back in it after outgaining the Vikings all night. Damn... again Reggie Bush. But this time he tripped and Kornheiser says "he's too quick for himself."

Week 5 is done. There are now only two unbeatens remaining... and Mark Wood seems to be running away from the rest of his division, at least points wise. The Giants helped his cause big time with a 44-6 drubbing of the Seahawks. I, as the other unbeaten, am just plugging away, a few points here, a few points there. On the other end of the spectrum there are only 2 winless players. Some tough breaks aj9696 and Joey Gravatt. Certainly you'd have thought the Colts would have beaten the Jaguars at home earlier this year.

On to the rest of the results... the Panthers put it to the Chiefs as expected, helping Monica's cause. The Colts, unfortunately, battled back against the Texans who were making their first home start of the season thanks to Hurricane Ike. Houston was up 27-10 late in the third quarter when Sage Rosenfels quite literally handed the Colts the game. Who, you ask. That's right. A dude name Sage. Enough said. The Patriots left the City By The Bay winners and the Redskins scalped the Eagles after being down by 14 points, 23-17. It would appear that the Redskins are the real deal this year as they now stand at 4-1 and have beaten all but one team in the toughest divsion in football, the NFC East. I officially take back all the fun I poked at Jeff C. and Mark Wood when they made those homer picks. The Cowboys pushed the Bengals further down into the depths of the AFC at 0-5, although they didn't make it look as easy as it should have been. The Bears, in what the "experts" were calling a trap game, kicked the Lions 34-7. The Ravens got beat, 13-10 at home by a, now, 5-0 Titan team but I won't get into the phantom unecessary roughness call after the false start that should have blown the play dead. The bottom line is if you only score 10 points at home, you deserve to lose.

The surprise of the week: Same team who upset the Patriots two weeks ago, did it to the Chargers this week. That's right! The Miami Dolphins are on a win streak as they beat San Diego 17-10. Is it really a streak if its only two, though?

On to next week... Week 6 that is. Game of the Week this week is Baltimore at Indy. You have until the 12th at 1:00pm to get your pick in. Good luck everyone.

OS- Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays for advancing to the ALCS, and LET'S GO ANGELS. There's nothing I'd like to see more than the Red Sox knocked out of the playoffs (besides the Orioles in the playoffs).

Hit of Week 4

Week 4 Results

The games are over for week 4 and there are 4 unbeatens. The surprise of the week has to be the (then 0-3) Chiefs over the (then 3-0, and highest scoring team in the NFL) Broncos, 33-19. LJ came up with 198 yards on the ground and 2 touchdowns. A close second, though, is definitely the Redskins marching into Big D and leaving with a victory. The NFC East is tough this year. The Chargers had a bit of a scare as it took them a while to get their offense going after being down 15-0 to the hapless Raiders who are about to REALLY fire their head coach. The Saints, as expected, beat the 49ers and the Buccaneers took out Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. With no Al Harris in that secondary, the Packers just aren't that good.

The story of the week (in case you hadn't heard) was Brett Favre. 6 touchdowns and 56 points as the Jets shot down the Cardinals 56-35.

The Ravens are STILL getting no respect, even after the battle they put up against the Steelers. Tony "goof-ball combover" Kornheiser-"Have we overrated the Pittsburgh Steelers?" How about... NO!!! The Ravens defense is the No. 1 defense in the league for a reason?

The selection window for week 5 is now open. Go ahead and get your picks in. You have until Sunday at 1:00pm. Good luck.

Week 3 Results

Football Fans,
Week 3 is over and there are 11 losers in the book this week. The most surprising is, without a doubt, the New England Patriots. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This one can't go squarely on "The Backup's shoulders." This one definetly falls on the defense. The Patriots' D decided it would be best if they just didn't show up. Ronnie Brown ran for 4 TD and threw for 1 more. Good job NE. Other losers included Indianapolis, and Chicago.

Jacksonville got their first win, and Tampa Bay edged out the Bears. Other notable scores include the Ravens 28-10 drubbing of the Browns who are now 0-3. See, I told you they weren't really that good. Also, Dallas took care of business in Green Bay and got their first win EVER at Green Bay. Philadelphia, in what I expected to be a bit of a shootout (or at least a higher scoring game than 21 total points), beat the Steelers 15-6. Buffalo eeked out a win after being down 9 points with 4 minutes left, 24-23. Washington helped Mark Wood pad his lead with a 24-17 win over the Cardinals. Look out for the 'Skins this year... apparently. Minnesota picked up a win vs. Carolina and San Diego beat B-B-Bret and the Jets, 48-19.

Week 4 is now underway and the selection window is open. You have until 1pm next Sunday to get your picks in. On a side note, I should remind you all that you CAN pick your weeks in advance if you think you might be preoccupied ahead of time.

To get the game favorites go to the "HOME" menu and click on "Weekly Favorites." This will open a new window at Bodog.com that lists the current week's favorites.

Good Luck everyone.

Week 3's Hit of The Week
