This week brings about a premier matchup, with the highest-scoring fantasy team in AldenLeague, Andy's Red Hots, taking on Fireseed, who at 6-1 is tied for the best record overall. To prepare for the immovable object taking on the unstoppable force, owners Andy and Todd take to the trash-talking arena to bring us up-to-date! T: So Andy, worst to first this year, at least in terms of points scored so far. What do you attribute it to - the fact that Adam finally decided to let someone else win the Sandridge Division for a change? Or was it more the pink-and-purple penis helmet you were sporting? I did notice that you're 0-1 after getting rid of the phalic logo ("phalic" means "penis-like" for Hartman, who we all know doesn't use big words). A: I can't complain about the phallus as it did seem to bring me good luck but I'm not going to give it all the credit for my early season success. The biggest reason for my turnaround thus far has...

It is Week 7, always a pivotal point in the season but this year it has some added pizazz for I am dubbing it “Rivalry Week”. The middle of the year, the third divisional week and due to some luck in the scheduling we’ve got some juicy matchups. Matchup #1 - Fireseed (5-1) vs. TheSkyns (3-3) (aka The Ray Lewis Bowl) The top matchup this week sees 2nd place Fireseed against longtime foe TheSkyns . While it may not be the most storied of rivalries within AldenLeague it does pit two teams who tend to perform well in the regular season and ultimately collapse come the playoffs. A win this week by Hoskyns would put them only a game behind Todd and the Crittenden division title well within grasp. The inconsistent Skyns team (you never know if he’ll score under 100 or be the top team in the league) gets a break this week because Fireseed is without the stalwart and #1 fantasy scorer thus far, Peyton Manning. Hoskyns is also down a quarterback but losing Shaun Hill for the week probably makes...

It's Week 6, guys and Synrods! Approaching the half-way point of the regular season means the return of Big Ben, Andy's almost ready to stop being called "So Gay I Make Synrod Uncomfortable" and resume his normal team name (which I'll have to get all out of my system today), and we're on the verge of ending the 2nd (yes, 2nd) game of the Eliminator on the message board already! (Corey = Douchebag) So what have we learned? We've learned that this season is about as confusing as how Hartman got into law school. As of this writing, the #3 player in total fantasy points scored (Kyle Orton, Stigs) was a 6th round draft pick, the #5 scorer (Shaun Hill, The Skyns) was undrafted, the #1 RB (Arian Foster, C-Men) fell to the 5th round, and Puzan hasn't made a single comment about Mexicans since Draft Day. Weird. Tied at the top of the league with identical 4-1 records are C-Men and Fireseed, who (unironically?) also had the 1st and 2nd picks of the Draft. B...

The first big trade of 2010 has occurred! Late before Week 4, Most Murderous answered the call of Crittenden Division rival Fireseed, who was looking for a trading partner for one of their QBs. In anticipation of Ben Roethlisberger's return from suspension, Fireseed was forced to deal one of the 3 QBs on their roster, which included Peyon Manning, Roethlisberger, and Michael Vick. Vick was the one chosen to pack his bags, and he was sent to defending AldenLeague Champion Most Murderous in exchange for San Francisco RB Frank Gore. This is a big, big trade. After being active for only 2 full games (and part of the Week 1 contest) after 3 weeks, Vick was the #2 QB in AldenLeague in terms of fantasy points and in terms of QB rating. Meanwhile, Gore was a first-round pick and consensus top-5 fantasy RB this season. His production had him as the #3 overall RB in AldenLeague at the time of the trade. The move makes sense for both teams. Most Murderous, a team who has a long history...
