Week 5 Preview


Week 4 saw the elder Hartman victorious against the younger, and the BountyHunters extended their winning record against defending champion CheektoWojo, two wins which put an end to the last two perfect records in AldenLeague. The C-Men finally put one in the win column with a victory over Syn City, and still sits just 12 points away from CheektoWojo in the overall points race.
Transaction Watch
This week Andy's Red Hots dealt with QB Eli Manning to help deal with the Opening Day loss to #2 overall Draft selection Tom Brady. Morrish also received WR/KR Dante Hall in the deal. In exchange, the Red Hots shipped off stud WR Terrell Owens and rookie RB Ray Rice to Nevada to help the ranks of Syn City. Other transactions included fillers for bye weeks, as Fireseed and the BountyHunters parted with injured players in exchange for WRs.
Matchup of the Week
The Skyns (3-1) take on the Boys of Summer (3-1) in a battle of teams among the league's best record. Having lost the 2008 version of the Hartman Brother Bowl, the Boys of Summer will try to continue and make do with RB Willie Parker still on the shelft with a leg injury. The Skyns, meanwhile, must play without WR Plaxico Burress, who was suspended for this game by his team for violating team rules. Meanwhile, early-week roster indications show an intention to keep New England QB Matt Cassel on the bench in favor of a three RB approach, including the upstart Steve Slaton from Houston and Larry Johnson of Kansas City who busted out last week after a slow start to the season.

And to honor the League’s 15th year, our esteemed Commissioner has bestowed the honor of predicting this year’s keepers to yours truly. Can you believe it!? I picked Lamar Miller in the 3rd round and then traded my 2nd round pick, Matt Forte, to the future league champion for an over-the-hill dumpster fire (a.k.a. Steven Jackson). I clearly don’t have any idea what the fuck I’m doing, which clearly makes me the best choice. Like that stupid ass camel who helped predict the World Cup, or Jessica Simpson filling out her NCAA bracket based on the virility of the mascots... Anyway, let's get to it! Most Murderous : Does anyone really care? He’s just gonna spend the whole draft projecting his “masculinity” onto everyone else and call Steve a fag because he speaks proper English (cut to Erick: “That be true”). Plus, he has SO many options with how ...
