The Airballers and HOT DEATH clashed for the NoTrump lead and a 3-0 record,
and the HOT DEATH handed the high-flying Airballers a loss, 45-27.

In a game of two 0-2 teams, the Anarchists pulled out a 34-21 victory
behind some consistant play from their trade-offs last week.

The Spade division tightened up the 0-2 Bastards defeated the 2-0 Bombers by a
score of 37-20 behind Steve Young and Al Del Greco.

Meanwhile, team Lightning chalked up an impressive win after their poor
performance last week to defeat the linemen 40-15.  The spade division is
anybody's race!

The Trouncers score their first win 29-13 over the Wildcats behind 9 pts by R.
Ruzek and a rare TE touchdown! (F. Edmunds)

The Steelers go to 3-0 and score their most impressive win humiliating the
bombjacks 39- 1.  With the Wildcat loss, the Steelers have a 2 game advantage
in the Club Division.

Behind the numbers:  The Buffalo Defense scored 20 points last week!! Way to
go, Trudeau!  All of Dallas's 44 points were scored by RAFFLE teams, while
only 6 of Green Bay's 33 were picked up by the RAFFLE.

Boners: E. Metcalf scored 24 pts on Sunday, and did anyone have him on the
roster? NO!  O'Donnell Scored 12 points on Sunday, but so did Steve Young!!
Talk about a no-lose proposition for the Bastards!!  Thurman Thomas sat out 
the fourth quarter and did not score at all Sunday.  The Bombjacks scored 
one point from an Atlanta Sack - and that's IT!

Special notes: NOT ALL NFL TEAMS PLAY NEXT WEEK!!. INDIANAPOLIS AND THE NFC
EAST HAVE THE WEEK OFF !!! Submit your lineups by Gametime. 
REMEMBER: The trade windows mean to get your picks in by the time 
indicated to be considered in the order OF the trade order.  

NOTE ON TRADE WINDOWS:  
You can make as many transactions as you like as long as they are before the 
window for you.  This is needed because you may not always get what you ask
for as you have in the past.  Basically, If your team is not doing well, (like
me!) you should get your trade picks in by the time designated.  After 7 pm 
Thursday, it is FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED! Last week, the mailer got flakey, 
and I improvised.  If this happens again, I will just extend the window another
day as I did before, ok?

As far as the picks are concerned, you should get them back by Friday if you
make your trade window.
