The other game features Jackson vs Outlaw. Outlaw must feel relieved to be playing someone other than Jones/Klingman, as they have met three times in the last five weeks. Jackson will be a tough foe, he hammered Outlaw 63-22 in week 5, and started Outlaw's long mid season hiberation.

Talbot winning points came as expected came on Monday night from Steve Young, but his Sunday wasn't bad. He got scores from All three backs, Emmitt Smith, Terrell Fletcher and Ricky Watters scored. The big star was Terrance Mathis with 16 points, highlighted by two 60 yard TDs.

Teams have averaged 60 points against Best the last five weeks. Best had another big game from Steve Christie and Minnesota D, but Keyshawn Johnson, Leroy Hoard and Bert Emmanuel didn't score. Best has no one to blame but himself. He picked up Terry Kirby to use against Talbot, but on Sunday chickened out on using him due to Kirby's limited touches. He also considered using Bam Morris, but started Bert Emanuel instead. Morris scored 8 points and Kirby scored twice on Monday, and his garbage time TD would have won the game. Best did not sleep Monday night... the splinters were too uncomfortable.

Barry usually has a very productive day from his QB, but Denver was stunned by the Giants. Jerome Bettis was nowhere, Robert Edwards was everywhere but the end zone. Ben Coates was at his mother's funeral. However Terrell Owens and Duce Staley did score.

You have to go back five seasons to find an output more futile than the 12 points posted by Czupryna. (93 wk17 Wallace 37 Jackson 4) After two consecutive 60 point games, the Old Man was just out of gas.

Jones-Klingman tried all kinds of gimics to catch Outlaw. They picked up New Orleans D since they scored 18 against Outlaw in a week 11 win. They scored 16 this week. Another move, move, benching Torrance Small for a pair of Carolina receivers cost points. They failed to end the leagues longest final four drought. They only time they ever made it was 1988. 10 long years ago.

One wife who is into this league is Anita Talbot. She is a fan of our forum. However, her husband and her father have been insulted in recent weeks in the forum by the Mo-Ha. Now she finds herself mentioned in the forum as an object of sympathy. "Make them roadkill, honey. Pick them by their heads and bonk them together like coconuts. I bet one of them was the one that peed in the chair at your draft."

Week 16 is where the wives get interested. However... It could be the wives who are very disappointed. The crystal ball says the batchelors will prevail.

4-0 last week as I move to 44-42-2. One right this week and I clinch a winning record.

Rumor has it the commissioner thinks so little of his chances this week, that he is launching a cruise missle strike on another league. One target, Bud's league. Bud and Gates are playing for the championship. GATES? He couldn't win squat over here, Bud didn't light it up this year either. Are other BRFL lesserlights defecting to Bud's league next year for easy money? Hell, JK could be the 98 Yankees over there!

When it comes down to it, Outlaw will be the former champion to move on. He has definitely followed in Ricker's footstep this year. Same kind of not paying attention mid-season boners. Same kind of team come together at the end. Can he take it all the way? He has the match-ups.

Calvin is playing QB roulette again. However, Kordell Stewart is out of the mix. The third overall pick has been cut. Week 16 is no place for crybabies.

This season, these two played two of the greatest games in BRFL history. It is a shame that they couldn't have played their next game next week.

Another injury heals for the Mo-ha this week as Robert Smith is probable. All-BRFL Seattle D has Indy at home. And the Vikes QB's face a decimated Jacksonville team at home. For Talbot, some tough matchups like Steve Young in New England against two pro-bowl DBs. However, Emmitt Smith tries for his record against Philly at home.

They say it's tough to beat a team three times in one season. How about in the BRFL? This is the fourth time in league history that one team has a chance to beat a team three times: Here are the other three times:

• 88 wk 7 Best 47 Czupryna 32
• 88 wk 11 Best 33 Czupryna 8
• 88 wk 15 Best 36 Czupryna 29

• 92 wk 3 Czupryna 39 Best 19
• 92 wk 13 Czupryna 27 Best 19
• 92 wk 16 Czupryna 57 Best 49

• 92 wk 11 Best 53 Wallace 9
• 92 wk 14 Best 44 Wallace 33
• 92 wk 15 Best 59 Wallace 21

Not only has it happened, but it always happens. Mo-ha to three peat on Talbot. 70-66 sounds about right for McGwire and Sosa as well as a typical Mo-ha / Talbot score.
