In a very close game that was not decided until the final minute of Monday
night, The Trouncers edged the Anarchists by a score of 29-28.  The Trouncers
move to 2-3 and the Anarchists drop to 1-4.

The Airballers continue to have their problems.   They dropped the game of the
week to the Bombers by a 41-24 tally.  The Airballers have lost 3 straight ans
stand at 2-3, while the bombers move to 4-1.

The Cloggers pick up their first RAFFLE victory!  They defeat the Bastards
27-18.  The Bastards fall to 2-3.

Hot Death remains undefeated crunching the Bombjacks 29-18.  The Bombjacks
have lost 4 straight.

The Steelers also remain undefeated by edging out the Linemen by a 23-13
count.  The Linemen go to 2-3.

Team Lightning holds on to first place in the Spade division by narrowly
beating the Wildcats 20-19.  If only Emmit could score against the Eagles...

Boners:  Keith Jackson was not started by the Trouncers.  Although it made no
difference on the outcome, I think anyone else would have started Jackson.

The Cardinal defense (ugh!) scored 17 big points last week, but it seems that
no one even HAS the Phoenix defense.  Will this change?

Behind the numbers:  This week, the 12 RAFFLE teams scored less than 300
points for the first time in league history.  Does this indicate a trend
towards lower scoring games?  We will see...

Special notes: NOT ALL NFL TEAMS PLAY NEXT WEEK, DAMMIT! THE NFC CENTRAL TEAMS
AND SAN DIEGO (who cares?).  Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Minnesota,
and San Diego HAVE THE WEEK OFF !!! Please Submit your lineups by Gametime. 

REMEMBER: WEEK 7 STARTS EARLY!! LINEUP CHANGES (if any) ARE DUE BY THURSDAY OF
WEEK 7!!  THERE WILL BE NO TRADE ORDER FOR WEEK 7.  Also, If you have empty
spots on your roster, you need to fill them by WEEK 7, or they BECOME filled
by whatever player my sick mind gives you!!!  (ie J. Friesz, J. Brooks, etc)

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 very well,
you should get your trade picks in by the time designated to get first shot at
the up and coming talent in the NFL.

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