MNF Week 14

Done and Dusted...
Curran 119, TMac 73
DFlam 90 (Jackson), Brett 63 (Bradford)
Tighe 70, Nemo 52

Three rather expected outcomes here as Tighe and Nemo played out the string while DFlam put in a solid effort to keep Brett at bay.  Curran cruz-ed past TMac, securing his division and placing pressure on Concannon to win against Thompson to secure the league title.

Trophy #1
Concannon 112, Thompson 105

*Please skip ahead if you have no interest hearing me recount a tense SNF game for my PBR squad.

A very strong effort out of Thompson in his season finale almost saw a change at the top of the league.  Threatening to turn himself into the proverbial 'last hurdle', Thompson was out in front by 29 points going into Sunday night.  The late call to move Austin in ahead of Bradshaw proved crucial but, down 105-98 with five minutes to play, it seemed a photo finish was in store.  Eli's touchdown to Ballard was upheld after a very tense review, leaving the tally at 105-105, but all looked lost for the commish when Romo could not, somehow, hit a wide open Austin that would have secured the game, the #1 seed, and the first trophy of the season.  At this point, vanilla wafers were being consumed by nervous handfuls as the looming disaster of a TIE seemed very realistic.

Fortunately, Eli was able to pick up the required 22 yards to gain that critical, tie-breaking point.  As it eventually turned out, Austin caught two more throws late on and made what was a very tight game into a final score that was a little more relaxing.  Still, a tip of the cap to Thompson for a fine effort and adding to what is quietly turning into a history of rivalry games over the years.

MNF Game of the Week
Malinn 126 (Lloyd), Lee 111 (Lynch)

Lee will surely stumble into the playoffs on the back of this loss as he turns to Lynch for help against a less than stellar Rams run D.  Lloyd might turn out to be just enough for Malinn here as, fittingly, the league's most heated rivalry comes all the way down to the last snap of the year.
