WWSOFFL:

Week 6: A low scoring week in the WWSOFFL, except, of course, for the undefeated rulers of the sea, the Whales. Led by 20 points from A. Bradshaw, the large aquatic mammals backed up their boosting this week with a 51-24 win over the Crushers. Only two other teams managed more than 30 points, the Thumbs in a 34-16 victory over the still flightless Ducks and TD Jesus who won the sibling rivalry bowl with a 38-21 triumph over the Colassals. Charlie just got past the Maroons 25-22, the Salmon has the replay officials on their side to hold on to a 23-12 win over the Gatsbys, and the Onion Heads, led by 18 points from B. Cundiff, topped the Wheat Eaters in the WW agriculture bowl 29-23.

Apologies are called for to Felix Jones. He scored in the first week of the season. I want to thank Dave Glenn for pointing out this mistake. That means it was Chris Johnson who was the last person picked in rounds 1-3 to score.

The big game of the week is the co-leaders of the Peter Division facing off, the Salmon versus the Onion Heads. All games are intradivision, giving the Wheat Eaters a shot of slowing down the Whales migration to a division title. TD Jesus has a similar two game lead to the Whales in the Julie Division as they prepare for the Gatsbys. Will the move back to the Eastern Time Zone disrupt the season, much less the studies, of Hesburgh’s favorites?

Moves: The Colassals continue to seek a better defense strategy. Having moved from pirates to the pentagon, they have now gone for the caged tiger as they pick up Cincinnati for Washington. The Wheaties are rearming for battle, with J. Battle for McCluster and J. Dwyer for Burress. Charlie, seeking a lot of press if not points, takes T. Tebow for Kolb. The Onion Heads go for E. Graham for C. Williams. TD Jesus reacquired D. Carter for Cobb, and picked up L. Robinson for Keading. The Gatsbys have that Newport/Woodstock felling going as they return to the land with Akers over Folk music. The Maroons want gold not leather, so it is M. Nugent for J. Brown.
