KFL Week #9

by Kevin McCune

SF Hall of Justice vs. Dynasty 3D
It was a battle of first place teams, as Dynasty 3D, the first place team in Division 1 face
off against Hall of Justice, the first place team in Division 3. Justice could fend off the
streaking Dynasty who won the match up for their fourth straight victory. Justice was
pretty banged up with both Bennie Wells and Austin Collie out with injuries. With 34
points, Phillip Rivers generated over half of the teams scoring. Joe Flaco, the Cards D,
DeSean Jackson, and Adrian Peterson all totaled over 20 points for Dynasty.

Yorktown Gunners vs. NE Deepthreat
Deepthreat inserted their league dominance against formidable division foe Yorktown
in week 9. Peyton Manning, Steve Johnson, and Braylon Edwards all played well for
Yorktown, but the Gunners only got 11 total points from everyone else. With just
average weeks from running backs LT and LeSean McCoy, Deepthreat was led to victory
by receivers Hakeem Nicks, James Jones, and quarterback Jay Cutler, who somehow
managed to get through an entire game without throwing an interception.

Team 3rd and goal vs. Deerfield Dragons
The best second place team in the league, Team 3rd and goal – proved this past week
that they don’t intend on finishing the season in second. Aaron Rodgers threw three
touchdown passes, Ahmad Bradshaw once again showed why Brandon Jacobs has been
relegated to number two on the depth chart and spot goal-line duty. Mike Williams (the
Tampa Bay one) and the Saints D put in big scoring efforts as well. 3rd and goal also
picked a great week to start Aaron Hernandez at TE, who not only scored his first regular
season touchdown, but his second as well. The poor Dragon could once again only
manage to cough up smoke instead of breath any fire, at 1-8 the season has seemingly
been over for a few weeks now, and another loss was not what Deerfield needed.
Jennings and Shiancoe both caught touchdown passes, and Brees threw a couple, but it
was all for not thanks to goose-eggs by Sproles and Heywar-Bey.

Das Stooka vs. Bedford Ballhandlers
Stooka moved closer to the Division 3 lead with a win over the now 2-7 Ballhandlers.
Stooka had to slip by in this one with an 84-81 win. Arian Foster carried the rock, and
carried Stooka, because he’s really the only one who stood out. Bedford had T.O. who
was lights out, and Tom Brady who was more than good, but Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis and
Calvin Johnson only combined for 2 total points combined, scoring one apiece. When
you get such little production out of your skilled positions, you’re record’s always going
to be closer to 2-7 than 7-2.

Vermont Stranglers vs. Bruise Brothers – Daily
The Stranglers fell to a below five hundred record with their second straight loss this
week. Before his shoulder forced him out of the game, Matthew Stafford racked up 27
points for the victorious Bruise Brothers, while Brandon Jackson added 18 points. The
Stranglers were gasping themselves as a 17-point effort by Ray Rice is the only thing that
gave them any air at all.

Team Merrill vs. Bear Bullies
Bear Bullies fell below .500 after suffering their third straight loss. Unfortunately for
the Bullies, they’re probably the only team in America that lost this week with Peyton
Hillis’ on their roster. His stellar effort was wasted thanks in large part to poor showings
by Todd Heap and Jeremy Maclin. Merrill was able to survive a goose egg laid by Steve
Smith. Thanks to a great game by their QB Eli Manning, TE Jacob Tamme, and the
Pittsburgh duo of Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Wallace.
