Note: This is a copy of the email sent out to the league this week.
With week 8 slowly fading into the background, it appears as though AmIGone have returned to their winning ways and remain atop the league, while the second place Thunder Bay couldn't hold out and lost to the Bostonians of Wicked Pissahs, widening the gap for first. This loss has also opened the door for the Bombers and Wicked Pissahs, who are both closing in on second place. The battle for last place was inconclusive as the first tie of the season was noted. However, the points awarded in the tie were enough for Windy City Matrix to move past a struggling Ice Kinkajous.
In an ironic twist of fate, the chiefs are, for the second week in a row, locked into a battle for last place - now against the Ice Kinkajous. Well, we all knew that Buffalo couldn't field too many winning teams and the chiefs are certainly proving that... As for this week's action, the power seems to have spread out with the leaders looking to strengthen their positions and the challengers looking for an upset. Bombers take on Nocturne's Killers as the father takes on the last (and currently the least) of the Bowman boys. How will the Bowman division look after this week? Does father really know best? AmIGone hope to avoid an embarrassment this week against the Chicago-bound Windy City Matrix - could linear algebra be their undoing? are the Matrices really Gone? Wicked Pissahs take their revitalized team against DaZ - with a three-game winning streak on the line, can the Pissahs continue to hit it out of the pahk or are they just going to piss their talent away? It's all up to their untested GM... Finally, Thunder Bay aims to prove last week was a blip and not the new course as they take on Mighty Taco. The Tacos have been rather silent lately but, as you know, with Mexican food, that silence tends to be deadly...
In other news, the fines for Mr. Carroll's remarks against the commissioner have been assessed at 3 boxes of Twinnings Infusions Tea and a face-to-face talk with the commissioner. Lawyers are finalizing the details.
This week ends the first rotation and the round-robin begins anew next week. Revenge is just around the corner... Don't forget to floss.

Reign of the Undefeated has Ended
Note: This is a copy of the email sent out to the league this week.
Finally, the reign of the undefeated AmIGones has ended. While they still retain top position in both the Yahoo rankings and the other rankings (AmIGone has the tie-breaker with the Bombers), their undefeated season came to a screeching halt with a 7-3 lambasting at the hands of Thunder Bay. The chiefs, while not managing to pick up a win, did eke closer to moving out of the bottom spot in the league by staying within one point of the Bombers. Elsewhere, it seems that Wicked Pissah's change of course has indeed brought it good fortune as they walked away from last week with a second resounding victory in a row and third total victory (each win has had a margin of 5 or more points). When asked for comment, Manager Carroll said of his team, "I knew I had a good core, I just needed some extra talent to put this team on the right course. Look for us to dominate in the coming weeks." This was, of course, translated from heavy and mostly unintelligible Bostonian.
This week's featured match will be the two hottest teams in the league right now - Wicked Pissahs versus Thunder Bay! Tune in this week to see whose winning streak is a fluke and who in on the path to domination... In other action, the newly defeated AmIGones face off against DaZ in a battle reminding Manager Enlow "3 times a best man never a..." AmIGone looks to rebound with a revamped line-up. The return of Ryan Miller should help his chances.
In regional action, Mighty Taco take on Nocturne's Killers to determine who can be called the "second best Bowman Boy." Both teams are coming off a win last week so look for a high-scoring, close matchup. Bombers look to take on the Ice Kinkajous in a game that can only be billed as "there." This reporter can think of no particular story behind this otherwise uninspiring matchup. Finally, the pillow-fight of the year will determine the bottom of the league as the chiefs take on the Windy City Matrix. The loser of this game will need a serious revamp of their team to stay competitive this season.

Week 7 looms large
Note: This is a copy of the email sent out to the league this week.
Thanks right... time for week 7 our continuing coverage of the Main Event! Last week saw AmIGone continue on his winning streak by surpassing the early lead by Nocturne's Killers. Wicked Pissahs taught the Kinkajous the largest lesson of the week with a resounding 8-2-1 victory after changing the course, a message approved by the majority of American Voters. The Bombers, too, battled to a win and have taken third place in Yahoo scoring and second place in straight win-loss scoring.
This week looks to hold battles of Titanic proportions that will see the combatants rend the heavens with their victory or sink beneath the waves, split in twain. (Tonight's commentary brought to you by Dennis Leary.) That's right... #1 takes on #2 (Y rankings) as AmIGone goes for a 7th straight win by taking on Thunder Bay, who is looking for redemption after his loss last week. Will the battle live up to the hype or will the momentary loss of superstar Ryan Miller relegate AmIGone to the penalty box of history? In other match-ups, the Killers take on the Pissahs - the Killers are looking to get back to form while the Pissahs are looking for a second straight win and can already smell it (the Killers should clean up the dead carcases). Ice Kinkajous take on Mighty Taco in a battle that may well be won in the bar rather than on the ice. The Bombers could use the battle between #1 and #2 this week to move up in ranking with a win over the chiefs. Of course, the chiefs don't intend to stay in the basement forever... what would his newborn son think of him...? (It's ok... his uncle knows a thing or two about hockey...) Finally, DaZ takes on the Windy City Matrix - DaZ had a slow start but now, after moving in to fourth place, don't look like they'll slow down anytime soon. Do the Matrices have what it takes to show him up?
Stay tuned... this could get mildly interesting!
