Monday Memo v4.3

On the day that the Lions won for the first time since the Bush administration, our defending champs put a little more distance between themselves and the rest of the league. Joining the Lions in rebirth are The Outlaws who are sitting at their highest point in the standings in what seems like forever.

Current Standings:
Cyclones 364.06
Team STY 358.62
The Outlaws 334.01
The Big Ragu 318.47
The Maestro 292.40
Gnomies 288.91
The Dragons 262.60
The Dominator 254.62

Monday Night Football brings with it the potential for the Cyclones to pad their lead. They will have DeAngelo Williams and Steve Smith taking the field, so they could be racking up even more points if Jake Delhomme can get his act together. The Maestro will have Tony Romo and Felix Jones trying to get him back into the mix near the top of the standings. And, The Dragons hope that Roy Williams and Jason Witten will help them get a little further away from last place. Tony Dorsett won't be holding his breath.

Before I go, I have to mention that J.T. the Brick was absolutely flummoxed yestrday at the effort the Raiders put forth against Denver. How could they, he wondered, come out and put up only 3 points in a game with early playoff implications?

Well, 3 points are about the limit for that offense. And, believing that the Raiders are playing in a game with playoff implications suggests that J.T. has some sort of mental illness.

More on Week 3 to follow tomorrow.....
