WEEK 10 - AND QUESTIONS ARE RAISED.
Interference On The Way To The Bowl.
Week 10 in the Subsim Torpedo League and questions are being raised.
What were the Browns even doing on a Monday Night's telecast?
How does McNabb throw for 450 yards and still lose?
Why did Every Given Sunday win with just 61 points and the Dragons loose with 112?
Who's in, and who's out?
Thursday night and the early start to the weekend saw every vote cast for Show Me Your Td's - he was the only one who voted and he voted for himself. A big shootout brings the realization that Coach Mookie can beat the two best teams in the league, but no one in his own division. The win moves him to 5-5, two games back from divisional leaders Every Given Sunday at 7-3.
Sunday morning and Coach Pioneer of the Australian Taipans make an appearance on the Yahoo Fantasy Football Show, putting the question of starting LT or Moreno. The guru's said Moreno, but that didn't help his cause as he was whipped 103-69 by the Mudville Nine. The win keeps the Nine in touch with divisional leaders Nighthawks who needed the Ravens defense to cease being good in order to defeat the Dragons.
The Wild Boston Terrier extend their winning streak to 3 soundly defeating the Collarred Greenz 107 - 53. With the win by the BP Badasses over the Miners and the loss by the Dead Poets, a three way tie exists in the Norris Division, and the Dead Poets suddenly find themselves 1-2 in the division. After leading the league for so long, they are now looking at best for the wild-card race.
The Nighthawks and the Dragons are the first two teams to score 1000 points in the season, but scoring points doesn't win you the championship. The Associated Subsim Writers have put together their predictions as the teams head into the last four weeks, with only eight teams to advance.

Collared Greenz.... 4-6.... 20-20
Australian Taipans 4-6.... 26-14 (hardest)
The Huge Manatee, Phants Rage and Drunk Ground Hogs are the only teams which have been mathematically eliminated.
However, all these ranking could change once the League Commissioner steps in. While researching, it's been ascertained that the Huge Manatee play the Drunk Ground Hogs in week 12 for a second time, but more importantly, Show Me Your TD's meet the Mudville Nine in week 14. In their previous encounter in week 4, The Mudville Nine beat the TD's 105 -55. It appears that the final weeks games need to be realigned so that Show Me Your TD's play either the Drunk Ground Hogs or the Collared Greenz, and the Mudville Nine play either the Miners or the Collarred Greenz.
The problems lies in that realignment forces another games to a ghost team match ups, Australian Taipans against Huge Manatee. Good luck working that out. The ASW are suggesting that in order to avoid the last week rematch the TD's should meet the Greenz and the Mudville Nine meet the Miners.
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 ten, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 131 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, and 9 receptions for 45 yards, running back Steven Jackson of Show Me Your TD's, is the Week Ten MVT.
