Sharks Still Unbeaten
Final Score: Big Brown Sharks (6-0) 96.17, Tiorted Snoil (2-4) 81.73
Quarterback Jake Delhomme continued his impressive play of late, getting help from RBs Steven Jackson and Willie Parker to win an easy one for the Big Brown Sharks, 96.17 - 81.73. Delhomme threw for 365 yards and 2 touchdowns (15 pts), and Jackson added 96 all-purpose yards and 1 TD (15 pts), and Parker contributed 109 yards rushing and 2 TDs (19 pts).
Tiorted Snoil played a solid game, getting production from QB Michael Vick (12 pts), RB Tatum Bell (15 pts) and WR Chris Chambers (12 pts). Ultimately though, the lack of production from RBs Ron Dayne and Kevan Barlow cost them the ballgame.
It wasn't all bad news for Snoil owner/GM Chris Walker. An acknowledged Shark fan, Walker was seen sporting wood on the sidelines throughout the entire contest, as he finally got to see his favorite team up close.

Meins Blow-Out Maulers Final Score: Main Meins (5-1) 108.53, Midland Maulers (2-4) 45.30
It turns out the talk of Joe Horn's demise was premature, as he exploded for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns (23 pts).
The Main Meins continued to look impressive, utterly dominating the Maulers from Midland and winning by 63 points. For the Meins, Donovan McNabb continued his torent pace (15 pts), and Clinton Portis (19 pts) and Ronnie Brown (18 pts) also added to the assault. It turns out, those 3 performances alone would have been able to beat the downtrodden Maulers.
For the Maulers, the outlook is bleak at best. After a promising 2-0 start, they have lost 4 in a row, dropping them into the bottom half of the league. RB Rudi Johnson and the defense were no-shows in this contest (5 pts and 7 pts, respectively); they had carried the Maulers early, but have been absent of late.

Herr Lose Again; Sabo's Head Called For Final Score: Chubby's In (4-2) 107.73, Blood Teeth N Herr (1-5) 85
The boo-birds howled early and often in this one, as Blood Teeth N Herr lost yet another one. The crowd at Sabo Municipal Stadium was hostile from the outset, and a large number of them wore tee-shirts with the words 'Fire Sabo' scrawled across the front in red letters.
The fans certainly have something to complain about, as Herr is now 1-5 on the season, after going 2-11 in the inaugural season. The next closest teams over that same period are the Craigulators and LanceBass AssPirates, both 6-13 lifetime.
Sabo was unavailable for comment.
For their part, Chubby's In continued their winning ways. QB Matt Hasselbeck had his best game on the season, throwing for 268 yard and 3 TDs (26 pts). Jeremy Shockey and the defense also contributed 17 pts each. It was enough to power the team to a win.

Nuts Slapped
Final Score: Hokay Hoslap (4-2) 111, Dez Nuts (3-3) 98
Hokay went with an aerial assault, getting over 20 points from each of their 3 WRs, powering the team to victory, despite a solid outing from Dez Nuts. Roy Williams (22 pts), Laveranues Coles (22 pts), and Reggie Brown (25 pts) provided the fireworks for Hokay.
Despite this, Hokay didn't get much production from the rest of the team, leaving the door open for Nuts.
The players in the losing locker room realized they had a chance to pull out the victory, but lack of production from a couple of key players ultimately cost them the game. Edge rushed 36 times for only 55 yards, a meager 1.5 average, and only contributing 4.2 pts.
Also exposed during this loss was Nut's lack of a true #2 WR. Pressed into duty, Eric Moulds added only 4.4 pts. If Nuts want to go far, they will need to address this deficit.
Steve Smith (24 pts), and Warrick Dunn (20 pts) led the way for Nuts.

Craigulators Ride Again
Final Score: Craigulators (2-4) 84.8, Spartan Lions (2-4) 60.6
Kevin Jones continued his domination of late, rushing for 127 yards and 1 TD (22 pts), powering the Craigulators to the win in another ugly contest. TJ Houshmandzadeh also added 16 pts.
Meanwhile, the loss drops the defending champion Spartan Lions to 2-4 on the season. With star running back Shaun Alexander on the sidelines for at least 2 more weeks, it might get worse before it gets better for the Lions, who run the risk of going from first to worst in the course of only one season.

Smooth Shaft Dominates Final Score: Smooth Shaft (3-3) 148.7, LanceBass AssPirates (2-4) 101.3
Smooth Shaft looked like world-beaters this week, posting a league-high score of 148.7 en route to a decisive victory and sticking it to the AssPirates.
Running back LaDainian Tomlinson gained 135 total yards and rushed for 4 touchdowns, contributing 37.5 pts. He was joined by QB Marc Bulger (24 pts), and WRs Torry Holt (33 pts) and Anquan Boldin (19 pts) in running up the score on the AssPirates. All four combined for more points than the entire AssPirate squad combined (115 vs 101).
"It was that kind of game," LT said, "the Shaft was in-sync today."
Overshadowed in the loss was the fact that for the first time all season, the AssPirates played a solid game and put points on the board. WR Terrell Owens hauled in 3 TDs on the day (22 pts), and RB Tiki Barber added 222 total yards (22 pts).
