I believe we've now seen just about everything -- with the Sunday night game between the Redskins and Giants taking the cake. Being the second tie game in as many weeks wasn't enough. It also had to have its own share of the strange and bizarre -- including the strangest of the year: Westbrook single-handedly costing Washington the game. (Check out the game reports at NFL.COM or USA Today for more info.) The way I see it, Norv and the 'Skins have several options: benching, suspension, waiving him............I can't wait to see how this turns out......... I'm now accepting proposals for rules changes for the 1997-1998 Competition Committee E-meeting (to be held in January). I will try to post the pro- posals to the Site as they make their way to the RAFFLE offices. Because of a Thursday game, there will be no trade windows again this week. Also, Weeks 16 and 17 each have a pair of Saturday games. This will move the lineup deadline to Saturday at 10:30 am EST for the final two weeks of RAFFLE's season. (I had planned to add the "x", "y", and "z" to this week's standings, but with the PC deciding to hang itself I won't be. They will definitely be in next week's report -- I have to know who advances and how the seeding goes.)
