Week Four Newsletter

The Retreads, having dodged bullets the past two weeks, finally had the law of averages catch up to them in getting blown out by the Palace of Swords 50-25 in Week 4 action. After picking up a 4th QB in Neil O'Donnell led observers to surmise that Coach Pedersen intended to start a Titan QB in Week 4, he selected original starting QB Jeff Garcia. Although the logic could not be ascertained, the decision to start Garcia certainly worked as he scored 16 points for the Swords. Curtis Martin scored 10 and RB Jamal Lewis scored 8 for the Swords. The Retreads failed to crack 30 points for the 3rd straight week. They were led with 6 points each by Kerry Collins, James Stewart (his 1st TD of the year) and Darrell Jackson, a Week 4 pickup. The Ravens D got its 2nd shutout of the season. The Retreads, 3-1, play the Natural Mystics next week while the Swords, 2-2, play PMS.

The Strange Highways had to sweat out the entire MNF game but held on for a slim 14-13 victory over All World in Week 4 action. All World has now lost back to back games by scores of 12-6 and 14-13. Highway scoring leaders were...only two players scored. Morton Anderson scored 8 and Jeff Blake scored 6. All World got 6 points from Eddie George, 5 from Pete Stoyanovich and 2 from Rod Smith. Both teams are now 1-3. The Highways play 2-2 Greenback Iguanas next week while Small World meets the NFC Norris.

Wayne Chrebet's last second TD for the Jets brought PMS into a 17-17 tie and Peyton Manning did the rest Monday night as PMS once again defeated the Natural Mystics in league action. The win, the 3rd straight for PMS, made them 3-1 on the year and kept them in 1st place in the Dewey division. Manning led the team with 19 points, Chrebet and the Rams D had 6 each and K Martin Gramatica added 5 for PMS. The Mystics, had a defensive TD and a Brett Favre TD pass. The starting wideouts each collected 100 yard receiving games but failed to score for the Mystics. PMS, 3-1, play the Palace of Swords next week while the 1-2-1 Mystics will play the 3-1 Retreads.

The balls were flying on Monday night and they flew in favor of the suddenly soft-spoken Greenback Iguanas as the Iguanas came from behind for a Week 4 victory over the NFC Norris. Jimmy Smith had another big night for the Iguanas, scoring 14 points. Tony Gonzalez and Marvin Harrison added 8 points while Emmitt Smith and the Bucs D had 6 each. The Norris was led by Tyrone Wheatley's 12 points and a single TD each from Mike Anderson, Jamal Anderson and Johnny Morton. The 2-2 Iguanas will meet the Strange Highways while the 1-3 Norris will next play against All World

The King of Dogs continued to put distance between the 1999 season and 2000 season with another strong showing, this time defeating the previously undefeated Montezuma's Revenge in Week 3 action. Terrell Owens and Jackie Harris led the way with 12 points each. Owens, however, was suspended after the game for taunting after each of his TD receptions and will be unavailable next week. Charlie Garner scored a TD and ran for 206 yards for the Dogs. Marc Brunell and Sebastian Janikowski led the way for the Revenge. Both the Revenge rushing attack and wideouts were shut out for the week. The Revenge, 3-1, will attempt to find their winning ways again in Week 5 against the Bearded Clams. The Dogs will play 2-2 Grandmaster G next week.

Warner to Holt looked like a track relay team in Week 4 for the Grandmasters as they hooked up for a combined 32 points in a 57-38 victory over the Bearded Clams. Jeff Wilkins added 11 points for the Gigis while the Raiders defense added 8 points. For the Clams, Isaac Bruce led the way with 12 points and Cade McNown added 10. Dave Moore and Travis Taylor added a TD apiece for the Clams. The Gigis improved to 2-2 while the Clams fell to 1-3 entering their Week 5 against the 3-1 Montezuma's Revenge. The Gigis play the 3-0-1 King of Dogs.
