Week 5 brought a changing of the guard, a nail-biter for Jim, and a reminder that scoring well doesn\u2019t always mean winning. Four teams now sit at 4-1<\/strong>, with Buzzing Jackets claiming the top spot. Serenity Now finally lost\u2014and presumably spent Sunday evening repeating the team name louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Brings the Buzz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buzzing Jackets (Eric Strevel)<\/strong> earned Week 5\u2019s scoring honors with 142.12 points<\/strong>, defeating Any Given Pam, 132.54<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 9.58-point victory<\/strong> moved Eric into first place<\/strong>, with 647.44 total points<\/strong> providing the edge among the four teams tied at 4-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam put up the week\u2019s fourth-highest score and still took a loss. \u201cAny Given Pam\u201d apparently comes with fine print: results may vary depending on the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closest Finish: Jim Survives Kurt\u2019s Super Bowl Bid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2-Min Drill (Jim Meeder)<\/strong> edged Super Bowl or Bust (Kurt), 141.24\u2013135.46<\/strong>, in Week 5\u2019s closest matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5.78-point margin<\/strong> sent Jim to 4-1<\/strong> and left Kurt at 2-3<\/strong>, despite posting the NFC\u2019s third-highest score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim lived up to the team name by squeezing out a close one. Kurt\u2019s \u201cSuper Bowl or Bust\u201d campaign remains alive, although this week leaned a little toward the bust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biggest Win: FowlBall Flies Past Chris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FowlBall (John Fowler)<\/strong> defeated Chris on 3, 134.10\u201391.10<\/strong>, delivering the week\u2019s largest victory at 43.00 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After winning Week 4\u2019s closest matchup, John apparently decided suspense was overrated. He improved to 3-2<\/strong>, while Chris fell to 1-4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris on 3 may want to try Chris on 4. At this point, changing the channel couldn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dawgs Disturb the Serenity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barking Dawgs (Michael Parker)<\/strong> handed Serenity Now (Howard \/ David)<\/strong> its first loss, winning 112.44\u201398.30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael improved to 2-3<\/strong>, while Howard and David slipped from first to fourth place<\/strong> at 4-1<\/strong>. The undefeated run is over, and the Dawgs have earned the right to bark about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serenity Now still has an excellent record. The serenity itself may need a little maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carol Wins the Grinder; Glen Keeps Sunday Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ground & Pound (Carol Stack)<\/strong> held off Senior Football (David McCleskey), 91.10\u201384.82<\/strong>, by 6.28 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week after leading the league in scoring, Carol proved she could win without fireworks. Ground & Pound improved to 4-1<\/strong>, while Senior Football fell to 3-2<\/strong> with the week\u2019s lowest score. This one was less track meet, more \u201csomebody find the end zone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Sunday Funday (Glen)<\/strong> defeated Waddle we talking about here (Dan Gillis), 134.08\u201395.88<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glen earned his second straight win and moved to 2-3<\/strong>. Dan remains 0-5<\/strong>, making the team name an increasingly reasonable question at the Monday morning meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standings Watch: Four at the Front<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buzzing Jackets, 2-Min Drill, Ground & Pound, and Serenity Now<\/strong> all stand at 4-1<\/strong>, ranked in that order by total points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Football and FowlBall<\/strong> follow at 3-2<\/strong>, while Sunday Funday, Super Bowl or Bust, and Barking Dawgs<\/strong> sit at 2-3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any Given Pam and Chris on 3<\/strong> are 1-4<\/strong>, and Waddle we talking about here<\/strong> is still looking for that first win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eric takes the scoring crown and first place, Jim escapes with the closest win, and John pockets the biggest victory. Michael ends the undefeated streak, Carol keeps pace, and Glen makes another Sunday live up to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 6 brings another chance to shake up a crowded race. Check those lineups, watch the bye weeks, and remember: a great score is nice, but a great score against the right opponent is even better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
