Week 5 Game Summary: Well it was a blast from the past as advertised by Jason who brought remnants of his old team the Untouchables out to play in honor of a visit by Chris Treadaway who is in town about to get married. But it was also the debut of 5 new players with Dave bringing a couple and me finding 3 online. While the new guys brought skills to the game, 4 of the new players were on Red who didn't have a lot of experience at QB - Josh has QB'd some in our game but mostly in relief. Yellow, with more experience playing together and bolstered by the best pass-rusher in our game (Matt), kept Red's 3 QBs from establishing much momentum - 50% of Red's yardage came on one play. Yellow won 2-0.

Selecting an MVP was tough once again this week. It was a toss up between Indy who had 2 picks and, had he gotten his feet down, nearly had a 3rd and Kris Burleson who QB'd Yellow to victory. He kept several drives alive with come nice runs and his 2nd TD pass was an absolute rocket that was dead on accurate. If it had been any slower, it would have been deflected by a very nice dive by the new Matt who made a terrific break on the ball and made contact but not quite enough. I give the MVP to Kris because with the exception of what would have been a 3rd pick, Indy's picks were more the result of badly thrown balls than having to work hard on the play (no offense).

Week 6 Preview: I think Chris' wedding is this weekend. Does that mean we have another blast from the past coming?
