Monday Memo #5

We have a scrum at the top of the standings at the end of the 5th Sunday of the season. Calling the separation at the top razor thin is an insult to the girth that razors actually carry. It's more appropriate to say the margins are "Hollywood starlet thin".

The current standings:

Plan Z 476.75
Cyhawks 475.24
The Dragons 474.32
The Dominator 462.96
The Spongebobs 444.64

Notice how the standings are now in order of the amount letters in each team's name, from fewest to most. This is a hidden indicator that may mean something in the world of fantasy football. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that meaning is. If this pattern stands the rest of the season, we will undoubtedly have a bunch of teams with single lettered names for '07.

Tonight's matchup in the Mile High City features only one player associated with PPFFL: The Ravens defense. Plan Z may be able to put some space between themselves and the rest of the league it Ray Lewis & Co. continue their sterling play. They may also drop down a slot or two if Denver has a big night on their home turf. With Jake Plummer under center for the Broncos, conventional wisdom says Plan Z will still have a lead tomorrow morning, but CW doesn't suit up, so we'll see what happens when they kick it off tonight.
