Week 28 Game Summary - Why is it that whenever we have a crappy turn out (like last week), the next week we get monster turnout? Can't we just get good turn out every week? Well, I can tell you one participant who showed up uninvited and had a bad effect on the game, the wind. It was incredibly gusty and the QB completion percentages show the effects.

Red - Adam, Matt Day, Ethan, Cain, Paul, Bedeeh, Best Man, Erik, & Chris Sulak
Yellow - Tom, Mark, Kris, Chenault, Casey, Jimmy, Leo, Jesse, & Rich

Game starts 7 on 7 - 3 man line with 3 eligibles.

Red 1
1-15 from the 10: Run by Paul for -6 yards - stopped by Mark.
2-21 from the 4: Pass by Cain to Adam - incomplete. Under pressure, Cain throws blind to Adam wide.
3-21 from the 4: Pass by Cain to Paul - incomplete. Wind took it a bit out of reach.
4-21 from the 4: Punt.

Going to 8 on 8 now.

Yellow 1
1-17 from the 33: Run by Kris for -6 yards - stopped by Ethan. Sack by Ethan
2-23 from the 27: Run by Kris for -4 yards - stopped by Bedeeh. Bedeeh strips the ball for a 4 yard loss.

1-Goal from the 24: Pass by Cain to Paul - incomplete. Tom should have picked this but gets credit of the defensed pass.

Normally, I don't award an MVP for a tie game unless there was a really dominant performance. While Cain's performance was not really dominant, its worth pointing out that before he left, Red was up 3-1 and the game ended 3-3 (and nearly 4-3, Yellow). Plus, he called a 3 TD performance in his Evite response: "Go ahead and put me down for a 3 TD performance. Not sure if it will be at QB or WR this week. Either/Or " How good is that?

There was some other nice performances. Mark was a feared ball carrier. Leo had 71 rushing-receiving yards (next closest were Cain and Ethan at 47 and Paul at 45). Jesse had 5 flags and 3 defensed passes (at least one that probably saved a TD). Paul also had a big day on defense with 6 flags and 3 defensed passes. Jimmy's performance was bigger than his stats: huge blocks as well as his pick-6 were big contributions.

Week 29 Preview - Less than 18 but at least 12 : )

Chris, did it turn out that you broke your nose?

Link of the week - Normally, I don't do political links but if you've never seen this, it is honestly one of the most spectacular pieces of political commentary/satire I've ever seen: Steven Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner tearing apart the media and the administration. This is a really intense presentation. The audience is generally quiet because they were in shock.
