COMEDY/TRAGEDY: Week 7


Not many nail-biters this week, but some decisions that could have tipped the scales, in two games especially.

In the Game of the Year thus far, the Sweet Tangy Limes prevailed in a shootout over the Brownie Kaboom Sundaes. The Sundaes left points on the bench with Bernard Berrian's solid day, but what really did them in was the woeful performance of the Seattle defense. The Seahawks contributed just eight points to BKS' cause, the second-lowest total of any defense that played on Sunday.

Next, Yossarian Lives dropped a heartbreaker to Danger Monkey in one of the lowest scoring contests of the La Resistance season thus far. The Commish decided to go with the gunslinger, Brett Favre, over Matt Hasselbeck. Unfortunately Favre turned in a performance reminiscent of 2005, while Hasselbeck lit up the Saints due to playing from behind most of the night. Thanks to the win over a quality opponent, the Danger Monkey climbed closer to the top of the Power Rankings.

Finally, we have our clubhouse leader for La Resistance Worst Week Ever. This standout, from Soul-Ja Boi Records, turned in such a horrible performance that he was removed from the Week 7 Tragedy lineup, so that we here at "The Blog" could call special attention to his suckitude, with an occasional new feature...

LA RESISTANCE PLAYER OF THE WEAK
SANTANA MOSS, WR, SOUL-JA-BOI RECORDS: Santana Moss took the wide receiver position to new lows, turning in a sterling week of -1.75 points. As in, less than zero. As in, you would have been better off starting David Boston in the lineup. Or David Blaine.

Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell completed passes to seven different receivers, but Moss managed no catches. He officially touched the ball only once in the game, when Campbell handed him the ball on a rush attempt around the left-end in the third quarter. Moss proceeded to fumble the ball, as "The Greatest College Football Player of All Time" Charles Woodson picked it up and returned it 57 yards for the game-breaking touchdown, and a Packer victory.

After Rudi Johnson and Moss helped him snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, Soul-Ja Boi Records head coach Robert Frederickson III said, "Only a McRib sandwich will take this sadness away."

On to the lineups. As always, Comedy players were on their respective benches, while Tragedies hurt more than they helped in the starting lineup.
