WEEK 4 RECAP:
He's not the defending champion for nothing, that's for sure. Dan T. was one-half of the featured matchup of the week with Uncle Joe, who was roaring like a lion after two straight weekly prizes. At the end of Week 4 though, he'd been tamed as Dan T., led by the ever-steady Peyton Manning and the beastly Patrick Willis, put the boot to Joe and in the process won the $20 prize. Dan stands in first place in the records race on point differential. Right on his tails is Paul, who narrowly eeked out a victory against Eddie by less than a point. In a game reminicent of their infamous "Daunte Culpepper" game from a couple years back, which say Paul win by .5 points, Paul and his new acquisition/best friend Rashard Mendenhall bested his foe by less than a point, and in a high-scoring game too. Also 3-1 is Mike, who is having a fine season after a disappointing 2008 campaign. Mike and his namesake Mike Sims-Walker (did he get married and hyphenate his name or something?) defeated Marc by less than two points in another close game. Some of the other games were blowouts, starting with Kevin's Eli Manning-to-Steve Smith inspired victory over Jeremie. Tom didn't make his game with Nick terribly close as Kyle Orton, Steve Slayton, and Heath Miller got the job done for him. And finally, Chris and Dan L. put on great show in a terrific high-scoring affair with Chris prevailing thanks to Philip Rivers and Ronnie Brown (with help from Jared Allen on Monday night).

Paul (Strictly Business) vs. Dan L. (Hebrew Hammer)
Chris (Wyld Stallions) vs. Nick (Purple People Eaters)

MATCHUP-OF-THE-WEEK
Kevin vs. Marc. Both have scored well and sport 2-2 records, and with the exception of Aaron Rogers, both are relatively unaffected by the bye weeks. Jeremie vs. Uncle Joe might seem a more appealing matchup, but Jeremie's team is decimated by bye weeks.

LEAGUE NEWS & NOTES:
-This week's byes: Chicago, Green Bay, New Orleans, and San Diego.
-Jeremie is off to Italy for his wedding. Congrats my man from all of us. The Commish will babysit his team while he is gone any any lineup violations will be forgiven under the circumstances.

THE "POOP SHEET"
No one makes the "Poop Sheet" this week. Four weeks and not one violation. Excellent work all. Perhaps with Dennis gone it's time to eliminate the p-sheet altogether.
