Frank the First

Despite what appears to be a meaningless matchup between divisional leaders the Chunky Monkeys and the Fat Jubas (besides bragging rights), there is one interesting stat at stake.

In one of the last clauses from this year's blockbuster trade involving Gore and Boldin, the trade stipulated that if Gore was to finish in the top five of all running backs during the regular season, the Monkeys would then have the rights to the Jubas' first round pick instead of their second round pick.

Entering this week, Gore was only one point behind Willie Parker. So if Gore simply outperforms Parker, the Monkeys will move up another round.

According to GM Shiue, "Look, we are going to try our best to beat the Jubas' brains out. That should not be a question. They are the best team in the other division and we may potentially see them later on. I want our team to literally break their spirits going into the playoffs. But as an objective fan of the league, Franky G is a great back and was a great teammate when he was here with us. I will of course be rooting for him. That first round pick would also help too but thats for another year."
