PIVOTAL SUCCESS
...and for some, failure.
Some people will do anything to stop the Press reporting the fantasy football league, even if it means infecting the Subsim website with supposed malware. Mark my word, when we get to the end of the regular season, coaches are going to look back and point to Week Six as pivotal to their success...or failure.
Let's starts with the Immortals...the 2008 Lions are popping the champagne as the youngest coach in the league gets her first W, edging the Reapers 73-70. "Good thing everyone thought Calvin Johnson was ill, otherwise he might have had a great day," Coach Janeva said at her first press conference....which she had to be escorted into after security locked her out not knowing who she was. The win drops the Reapers two games back as they head into the "hard" part of their season.
The other immortal team, the 72 Dolphins are still chilling their champagne, but it didn't come without a fright. The BP Badasses were favorites by twenty points, but, the decider was James Jones of the Wild Boston Terriers who scored nothing, leaving the Terriers .62 short, losing 98.56 - 98.14. Coach McBee at the post-game conference commented on Jones, "Son of a bitch," which on his team, is actually true.
Defending Torpedo Bowl champions the Dragons, with two starters who failed to scored for the second week, fall to 3-3 to the Takky Glue 81.45 - 77.20. The Glue managed to equal the Dragons .500% record but leap a half game ahead by divisional wins.
The most surprising of the Surface Skimmers divisional games was the brutal thumping by Every Given Sunday of the Helmand Nighthawks. In a dejavu from last season, EGS once again knocked off the league leaders, 120 - 88. The win puts both in a three way 4-2 battle. The third team, the Australian Taipans, were lucky to get away with the Green Beans playing Chad Ochocinco (on a bye) and win 92-78.
One of two emerging teams out of this week is the Ded Poets. Big scorers last year, the Poets have quietly advance to 4-2, convincing winners against Mookie and TD's 89 - 69. The Poets advance to a share of second place in the Sub Simmers division, trailing the perfect asses by 2 cheeky games.
The other team, the Broncolo's with their second round pick Peyton Manning, racked up a 111 score against the Mudville Nine. Even though the Nine had Mike Thomas playing on Monday night, once the game become lopsided, the Nine just ran out of time for Thomas to catch enough points.
So as we head into week seven, The Bp Badasses hold a two game lead over everybody, and are potentially just two games away from a guaranteed post season spot. At 4-2 five teams are all tied up, and at 3-3 a trio lay in contention still...but need to get the lead out.
Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.
In Week Six, it's hard to overlook the injury which helped a team to their first win. For the effort of 5 receptions for 146 yards and 2 TD's, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present wide receiver Calvin Johnson of the South West Rockets, the Week Six MVT.
