Random Notes:
There was a Chad Johnson sighting this week. Johnson scored a combined 25 points through the first 9 weeks. In week 10 alone, he scored 35 (high in the league this week).
The highest-scoring WR in the league so far this year is rookie Marques Colston with 81 points. Colston was the 120th player drafted this year.
The three top performances all time in the league were all turned in by running backs: Shaun Alexander (297 points in 2005), Terrell Davis (293 points in 1998), and Priest Holmes (292 points in 2002).
LaDainian Tomlinson is on a pace to score 311 points this year (averaging 18.3 pts. week).
Tomlinson was drafted by the Griffins as the 2nd pick in 2001 draft and has been on Nick’s roster ever since. Who was drafted #1 that year? The GBM Mud took RB Michael Bennett.
I added a table of the top players at each position in each year in the Records section.
Longfellows tie best start in league history at 10-0; clinches at least tie for Engle Division
Keystone’s perfect season continues, thanks to a touchdown from Keyshawn “just give me the damn ball” Johnson in the Monday night game. The Longfellows needed Johnson’s TD to slip past the OCD Beach Dudes 66-55. Keystone is only the second team in league history to start the season 10-0. In 1993, the LA Riot! started the season 10-0, lost in weeks 11 and 12, and then ran the table to win the Fantasy Bowl.
Two other teams have had 10-game winning streaks in league history: Mercer in 1999 and Boston in 1997. Keystone will next try to tie the longest winning streak in league history — the New York Griffins had an 11-game winning streak in 1995 (which ended with a loss in the Fantasy Bowl to the Wisconsin Cheeseheads).
Keystone also clinched at least a tie for the Engle Division title, now leading the second-place DAL Armadillos by 4 games, with 4 regular season games remaining.
Tiki Barber traded to Keystone
Finding themselves a bit thin at running back with Tatum Bell’s injury, the Keystone Longfellows Sunday went out and sealed a deal to shore up their ground game for a playoff run, acquiring Tiki Barber from the Orange County Beach Dudes for a 2007 1st-round draft pick and RB Michael Robinson.
WEEK 10 SCORING CHANGE: Note there was an NFL scoring change in week 10, which gave Donovan McNabb another TD pass, resulting in Keystone getting 7 more points. Keystone beat Orange County by a score of 66-55, not 59-55 as reported last week.
