What a week!
Dawson, a.k.a. Real Houserville, has been putting up the points week after week, but it turns out this week he was the only winner to not post 135 or more points.
In fact, three teams moved up into the top six in single-game points scored. The Chinese Organ Thieves owned the top two marks at 158 and 155.
Don't worry, Schiavo, your top record is safe — for now.
Team Boyer moved into second place all-time with his 156 points — by the way, his QB, Tom Brady, reset the record for most points from a single player with 57. Stanksta's Gangstas took over fourth with 153.8 points and the Sunday Slackers now own the No. 6 slot with 151.2 points.
Needless to say, all three teams won.
And thank God.
Imagine if any one of those three teams were playing each other? How bad would you feel to score 150-some points and lose?
The other two big wins included the Toasters (5-1) winning 146.6-79.8 over the News Team, and the Jammers beating his younger brother 135.4-105.4.
With all the matchups being blowouts — every matchup was separated by at least 20 points — this kind of saves me from having to write matchup-by-matchup recaps.
The only game on Monday night that was close Stank's as he trailed by one point, but ended up blowing out Fear and Loathing 153.8-117.1 thanks to 37 points from the Broncos defense.
Noise's Eddie Royal was a big reason the Broncos defense had 37 points, taking a kickoff and a punt back for a touchdown, quickly cutting a 36-point deficit to about 12 points.
Fortunately for the Jammers, Darren Sproles returned a punt of his own for a TD to seal the victory.
The win for the Jammers (4-2) moved him to within one game of the Sunday Slackers (5-1).
Houserville (3-3) also moved to within one game with his third straight win. He also moved into second place as Fear and Loathing fell to 2-4.
Boyer's win was his first and now he and his opponent, Graybill's Generals are tied for the worst record in the JFL at 1-5. Dottsville took full control of his division with his fifth victory of the season.
Matt Schaub had a great day, scoring 41.4 points.
He was just one of several quarterbacks to go silly on Sunday.
Obviously, we have to talk about Tom Brady.
In the snow, he decided he was going to set a second-quarter record, tossing five of his six touchdown passes. Yes, this is amazing, but it was against the Titans who have fallen mightily. In fact, can we stop calling them the Titans? I'll take suggestions on the JFL message board. Let's all pick a new name for this horrible team.
Anyway, back to Brady. It was extremely impressive because it happened in a snow storm. This is the second year in a row that the Pats have blown out an opponent on a snowy day. Last year, the Cardinals had their wings clipped in Foxboro.
This begs the question, what is it about the snow?
If this is the kind of team they have in the snow, I suggest forking up the money they saved by shipping Seymour out to Oakland, purchase a snow machine — the likes of the ones used at ski resorts — and start making snow.
Who cares if it's 70 and sunny. Get snow on the field. Think about it. Many of the greatest moments in Patriots history has snow involved. I mean, Tuck Rule anyone?
Let's get that in place soon.
Outside of the snowy wonderland and in the dome in New Orleans, Brees threw for four touchdowns and 369 yards for the Slackers.
The Jammers' Big Ben threw for 417 and two scores and the Toasters' Schaub threw for 392 and four scores.
That's not a bad day for quarterbacks. Just have to wonder if this great quarterback play will continue. If so, this won't be the last week for records.
We've touched 150 four times alone this season and gotten close several times. I imagine at some point, Schiavo's record will fall. He can only hope that it is he who breaks it.
