LEWIS FAMILY CHALLENGE GAME OF THE WEEK:
2-0 No Punt Intended @ 1-1 a team grows in brooklyn
DevaCurl Bowl I gave the fans their money's worth - as the Intenders mounted a marvelous comeback during the Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, a game which by the way, featured prominently in a number of LFC's outcomes this weekend. The Intenders had the Pack D and CHI TE Olsen to pull out a victory for them, while the team huggers had to rely on CHI K Gould to leg out the win. While the outcome was glorious for the brookworms, the game should have never been that close, as Ochocinco and Berrian gave sub-par efforts for the No Punts Left Behind, while their backups Evans/Jones could have squeaked out a win for them. Although the local press will have their digicams pressed up against DET's Best - his 3.9pt orchestration seemed somewhat lacking after last week's Herculean posting against the TinKnights. All in all, it was still a great game to watch down to the final gun late Monday evening. This should be a promising matchup to follow in the coming seasons - and who knows, perhaps these two will face each other again later this fall?
2-1 Intended 104.00
(up next -> 1-2 roopdogs)
2-1 in brooklyn 105.54
(up next -> 1-2 littlerupp)

1-1 middletown allstars @ 2-0 Special Ed
After two weeks of non-stop coverage of the personnel on Special Ed's all-star roster and how many seats will they require for the head table at the LFC Championship banquet - they had to get back to the real work of churning out victories - and this week, they had to go up against the real allstars, of the middletown variety. The Middlers have taken LFC by storm, dominating littlerupp and DaDogg in the season's first two weeks - and now they got to face the league's best team. And until halftime of MNF, it appeared the upstarts were going to shock the world - the allstars took an early lead in the 1pm games and began to distance themselves from Special Ed, but once again, PHI WR DeSean Jackson brought the Specials back into contention with a 61yd TD haul just 10min into his game in Jacksonville. When CHI WR Knox caught a 31yd pass with a little over a minute to go in the first half, Special Ed took the lead and it was lights out for the allstars' moment in the limelight. Don't fret little towners of middle, you've got the goods for a post-season seed.
1-1 allstars 109.80
(up next -> 1-2 Sauteed Mules)
1-1 alEd 119.74
(up next -> 0-3 team jacob)
----------
1-1 Sauteed Mules @ 2-0 Emmaus Smytherines
If Special Ed wasn't hoggin' all the press coverage, these two teams would be the talk of the league - as they are both clearly built for a deep fall run into the schedule. This game could have easily been a matchup between two undefeateds, had the Mules' Naanee pulled in just one more TD in week one - but those are days past. And the LFC is all about how many points can you score today. This matchup was closely contested during the early games, but by Sunday night, Emmaus had this one locked. SD QB Rivers threw for nearly half-thousand yards in upstate Washington - if he continues to produce like that, move over Special Ed.
2-1 Mules 84.84
(up next -> 1-2 allstars)
2-1 Smytherines 114.10 pts
(up next -> 0-3 Dolphins)
----------
1-1 roopdogs @ 1-1 Keeping Five Alive
Ugh, you gotta feel for the roopdogs - if you told them at 12:59PM ET on Sunday that they'd have the league's third highest score for the weekend, it'd be drinks for everyone. Alas, the FiveAlive scored the second highest for the weekend. These two teams were over the century mark before the 1PM games had ended - you just knew this one was gonna be close. When the 4pm games ended, the Fiver's score was set - and the roopdogs just needed a huge game from CHI QB Cutler on MNF to bring home the win. But his 14.54pt effort couldn't get the job done and Mother Johnson got her second win of the season.
1-2 roopdogs 127.70
(up next -> 2-1 Intended)
2-1 Five Alive 143.06
(up next -> 3-0 Haulers)
----------
2-0 Hamilton Haulers @ 0-2 Mosley Dolphins
Absolutely no one, and we do mean no one, ever expected the Mosley Dolphins to start out the season 0-2, let alone 0-3. Especially when they got to play a RB-less team like the Haulers in week three - surely this would be the week the 'Phins would get up off the beach and head for the deep waters where the pros swim. Up until midway through the 4PM games, the Dolphins were looking at a possible champagne post-game celebration - then PHI QB Michael Vick began to settle down and play like a prototypical NFL QB, throwing for nearly 300yds and 3TDs - the scoring in this matchup swung dramatically toward the Haulers. And the Haulers even mistakenly benched a 23.90pt player in ARI RB Stephens-Howling. Destiny was cast - the Dolphins were meant to be winless heading into week four.
3-0 Haulers 99.04
(up next -> 2-1 Five Alive)
0-3 Dolphins 82.88
(up next -> 2-1 Smytherines)
----------
0-2 team jacob @ 0-2 DaDogg Pound
According to the LFC rules, someone had to win this game - no matter how poorly these teams could possibly play - there was going to be a victor. Sure enough, despite not even starting the required two RBs - the Pounders torched the scoreboard for 161.30pts and crushed team jacob - whose 96.24 would have been enough to win three other games this weekend - hope there's solace in that. The Pounders had four guys put up twenty-plus days - we're talking league dominating type effort here - are they for real? Where have they been? Considering who they're playing next week, the Pounders could be mid-pack going into week five and begin to make a serious run at a playoff seed in the coming weeks. Put down the soda, my friend - one week at a time, sweet cheeses.
0-3 jacob 96.24
(up next -> 3-0 SpecialEd)
1-2 Pound 161.30
(up next -> 1-2 Knights)
----------
1-1 little rupp @ 0-2 Golden Knights
Credit the NYJ WR Braylon Edwards and GB TE Jermichael Finley for the Golden Knights' first victory of the season. While the little rupps' featured a zen-like 40pt performance by the first overall pick of the LFC draft, MIN RB Adrian Peterson, there wasn't much else to get excited about for the rupps - whilst the Knights featured five players in double-digits. Not sure what to make of this golden turn-around ... next week's DaDogg/Knights game will establish which team's makeover is the real deal.
1-2 rupp 95.98
(up next -> 2-1 brooklyn)
1-2 Knights 120.18
(up next -> 1-2 Pound)
