180º Turnaround Results In Team Scoring Record


Just one week after Maxwell's Silver Hammers scored the lowest fantasy football score in the team's short history, they doubled the output to score a team record 218 points, more than enough to top the Agate Types respectable 134 points. The win raises the team record to 4-3-1 and puts them back in contention for a possible wildcard playoff spot. Said Hammers owner, Erick Byrd: "The credit goes entirely to the owner, GM, and head coach. And I suppose the players deserve some credit, too." Indeed, aside from injured TE Ben Watson and kicker Matt Stover - who only had scoring opportunities on 2 extra points, all starters scored in double digits, the lowest being 17. The Hammers also tied a team record for TD's in a game with 8. Stars of the game were TE Heath Miller (22 pts) and DEF Seattle Seahawks (47 pts), who were this week's FFFL top scorers for their positions.

Even with the starters clicking on all cylinders, MSH still looked to improve the team once again through waivers. Out are WR's James Jones and Mike Furrey, injured TE Ben Watson, and backup RB Chris Brown. In are WR's Arnaz Battle and Muhsin Muhammed, backup RB Jason Wright, and kicker John Kasay (to fill in for Stover in his Bye week). And although the "young Jedi Knight" Tony Romo (2nd ranked scoring QB for FFFL) will be out next week for his Bye, expectations are high for backup QB Jeff Garcia (8th ranked scoring QB for the FFFL) to keep up the scoring pace and give the Hammers a chance for victory against the Wild Bunch.

Silver Nuggets: ...Another tape was released this week from Osama Bin Laden, but experts have yet to authenticate the recording that reportedly references the Curly Wolves and Tom Brady as "American Imperialists" as well as claiming responsibility for the Peon Gorillas' injury curse. ...Next week's home game will feature a Halloween themed half-time show starring the recently reunited Spice Girls. Fans that are pregnant, have weak hearts or who are easily frightened by has-been comeback acts have been asked to stay home. ..."Hammer-Mania" has taken hold in the Bucksnort community as sales of MSH themed t-shirts have skyrocketed, now out-selling Earnhardt and Big Johnson merchandise combined. The t-shirts can be found at the Exit 172 Stuckey's and all 5 locations of Bubba's Fireworks & Fish Bait Emporium.
