Upsetville

Bang. That's it. The Monkeys left for dead. The Green Team on the brink of extinction. This game is glorious in some ways and lethal in others. For the Monkeys, its lethal only when it counts. Masters of the regular season, the Monkeys are making quite a name for themselves for their ability to wilt under pressure in every way possible. Monkey owner, Evan Shiue, in his weekly Monday morning press conference, told the media group, "Extremely extremely disappointed. Our team folded under pressure. We did not execute offensively and unfortunately, nearly 95% of this league is gonna be won on offense. This ain't the damn NFL." The departure marked the 3rd straight first round exit for the Monkeys. According to team captain, running back, LaDainian Tomlinson (the only Monkey player to remotely do anything positive), "I am totally disgusted with our performance. I saw some guys out there who looked like they didn't want to play period. I don't want to call out any names but guys like SA, Dbo, and Djax have got to step it up. Our passing game just wasn't there. Peyton struggled and AJ struggled in his second straight game. This is unacceptable."

On the other side of the river, another heavily favored team, the Green Team, is also on the cusp of being exterminated by the Flaming Shrapnel. They did all this despite a big fat 0 from starting running back, Domanick Davis. The Shrapnel only need 5 points by team kicker, Wilkins to tie and 6 to win. Considering the other 3 kickers that played this week averaged 11, this shouldn't be difficult. "Well the game isn't over quite yet but I wouldn't say we played well enought to win. I hope we win." said Green Team GM Ng.

Stanford upsets Kansas, USC getting shafted in all directions by the BCS, the Monkeys get upset, the Shrapnel on the brink of coming back from the depths of hell and the Chargers win!. What a weekend.
