[League Update] Week 6: Started from the bottom ...

Started from the bottom now we're here.
Started from the bottom now my whole team f***in' here.

Awwwwww, yeah. The Inscoe household is killing it right now.

If you remember, Muscular Mathletes started the season with the worst score in the league. The team has won five straight since then and moved into a tie for first place.

Jeff Fisher's Mullet started 0-2 and has now reeled off four straight wins to move into a tie for second.

We started from the bottom now we're here.

We have another week of huge match-ups in the league.

Last week two teams tied for first place -- Chicks Dig Scars and iwishiwouldhaveplayedtuba -- met, with Chicks keeping a hold on first place and the Twitter avatar. In Week 7, the two teams tied for first play again with Mathletes and Chicks. (Girl fight!)

Just below them in the standings, two teams tied for second face off in Week 7: Mullet and tuba. (The other team tied for second, Correctamundo, plays 2-4 The Reservoir Dogs.) It's worth noting that, though we're tied in the standings, tuba has scored 103 more points this season than I have.

One team has been moving the opposite direction in the standings over the past few weeks. Defending champion Blaupunkt has lost 4 straight games after starting the season 2-0. Is the king dead?

Last week, I tossed out the idea of changing my team name to "Peyton Manning and the Horse****s." It made sense at the time. He was scoring at least 30 points a week and was basically the only reason I had three wins coming into last week. And in Week 6, he was playing the Jaguars. The hopeless, hopeless soon-to-be L.A. Jaguars! I figured he would have 50 points and come out at halftime.

Thirteen points. Peyton threw an interception and fumbled twice. Wow. Luckily, other players stepped up enough to chomp Big Kahuna Burger. (See top of post.)

A couple of games came down to Monday night again last week. Correctamundo (4-2) sneaked past Academic Probation (1-5) 94.98-92.6 with 4.3 points from T.Y. Hilton before he got hurt Monday night. Cant Be That Hard (3-3) used 8.8 points from Reggie Wayne Monday to beat PerpetualMotionSquad (1-5) 83.72-74.96.

@RoyaleWCheeseFB T.Y. Hilton injured!!!...but not before getting me a close win!

Week 6 was a relatively low scoring week. It was the first time all year that no team scored more than 100 points.

The top scorer from Week 6 was Muscular Mathletes with 97.68.

The You Got Lucky Award yours truly, for scoring the lowest point total (79.1) of the winners in Week 6. (Friggin' Peyton Manning.)

And this week's Sad Trombone goes to Dolphins of Old, which has been about as consistent as a roller coaster this season. Dolphins scored 47.88 in a loss to Something, which didn't even start an active running back.

Now it's time for TWEETS OF THE WEEK!

We had some major trash talking this week! OK, it was pretty minor. But it happened. And, otherwise, y'all were kind of boring on the tweeter this weekend.*

Yeah, that whole 20 points thing didn't happen. Better luck next time.

This week's Thursday night game -- if you're not watching UNC get killed by totally come out of nowhere and beat Miami (positive thoughts ...) -- is between the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals. Set your players for those teams by kickoff Thursday. Set everything else by Sunday.

Teams with a bye week: Saints and Raiders.

Wishing you sure hands and strong ACLs,

Corey
