NIGHTHAWKS SOAR
League Leaders Dragons Slayed

Week Nine in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the Nighthawks come out and topple the league leaders in a convincing win. For the second week in a row, the Dragons suffered another loss and suddenly, the Surface Skimmers division is up for grabs.

We'll get to the biggest upset this year after we hear this important message.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

They were 1-7 and having a Helmand Nightmare season, facing the league leading Dragons. But the Dragons were coming off an unexpected loss, and maybe the shock of Halloween the previous week didn't create the sugar high that was needed. The Nighthawks, desperate to turn their season around, did it a fabulous style, outgunning the Dragons through the first half of the week to earn their second win of the year. In a major upset with playoff implications, the Nighthawks get the better of the Dragons 115-87.

In the euphoric post game celebrations, Coach Chris, between beers, said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

The Dragons loss creates a stampede of teams behind them and leading the pack is Every Given Sunday, the only winner in the division this week. On the strength of a five game winning streak, EGS accounted for the almost defunct Delaware Destroyers. The win by Every Given Sunday makes them the hottest team in the league, with supermodels, Orange county housewives, rap singers and playboy model Lindsay Lohan all wanting to get giggy with Coach Mike W.

The first thriller of the week was the matchup between the two biggest scoring teams in the league, the Guns of Hochuli at the Ghost Monkeys. The Monkeys, sitting mid league and desperate to get one game clear of the Wild Boston Terriers, started both of their running backs after the Gunners had finished with a sizable 121 points. The Monkeys needed the entire night of LeSean McCoy and Matt Forte to run down the Gunners... but it wasn't to be. The Gunners hold on for a narrow 121 -108 point win.

The second thriller and a lot more closer saw the haphazard .500% Black Cats trying to stop the 1-7 Reapers from getting their second win. The Cats finished early and had to wait out Jeremy Maclin on Monday night. Maclin was one pass and about 4 yards (did someone say screen?) from getting an upset win for the Reapers, who drop to the league worst 1-8 with the narrow loss, 95 - 93.40.

While everyone was scoring on Monday night, the one quarterback not achieving remarkable numbers was Michael Vick. Captaining the BP Badasses, Vick needed a paltry 13 points to get over the Australian Taipans. Recorded in another tabloid, Coach Pioneer arrived for the Sunday game locked out of Kansas City and unable to change his team, had to play out with backups. Despite scoring less than 7 points and not a single touchdown across his entire wide receiving score, the Taipans were able to run enough points to survive the scare, and advance to 8-1.

A surprising win in the middle of the league was the game between the Wild Boston Terriers and the Nutcrunchers. The Dogs, even with Aaron Rodgers, appear not to have enough elsewhere on the field to hold off the opposition. The trash talking Nutcrunchers, having stunned everyone with back to back wins in the previous weeks, make it 3 in a row and suddenly find them self only a game or two out of a potential championship play off spot, where as we know, anything can happen on the race to the Torpedo Bowl. (You got that Mookie?)

As we finish week nine and head into the first of the loooong weeks which start on Thursday night, the Dragons loss moves them to 7-2 and remarkably, even keeps the Reapers (mathematically) in with a chance of reaching the playoffs. The Reapers will have to do it the hard way, and must win against the league leading Taipans to stay alive.

The top of the league ladder is harder to work out, with six teams above .500% unclear where the final positions will rest. The Taipans only loss coming at the hands of the Dragons, who next week face the Nutcrunchers. The fastest moving team so far are Every Given Sunday who have posted six consecutive wins, but must now face the "meat" of the league against the Guns of Hochuli and the Dragons in back to back weeks. In the middle band of teams, the Wild Boston Terrier, although sitting below .500%, have three of their remaining five games against the bottom of the league.

The run into week 10 looks to be one of the best, this league has had in recent years.

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.

For the effort of 124 yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 5 receptions for 26 yards and 23.50 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Arian Foster of the Australian Taipans with the Week Nine MVT.
