WEEK 9 RECAP:
The season is officially halfway over, and it will be interesting to see what the second half has in store. This week was a good news, bad news one for Dan T., who still sits at the top of the standings following victory over Eddie this week. DeAngelo Williams and Hines Ward made up for an uncharacteristically quiet week from Peyton Manning and led Dan to victory. That was the good news, the bad news is that while he's still two games up in the records chase, he surrendered the points lead to hard-charging Paul, who with the help of Randy Moss and Cedric Benson excercised the "Disneyland Demon" and defeated Kevin. The weekly $20 prize went to Tom, who coming into the week was dead last in points and was the only owner not to break the 800-point mark. Guess he decided to make it all up in one week, scoring a whopping 156.07 in a defeat of Marc. Kurt Warner's five TD passes and a solid afternoon from Frank Gore got the damage done there. Congrats to Tom on his first $20 prize of the year. In other action, Uncle Joe's bid to win another weekly prize came up just short, however the efforts of Chris Johnson and Jay Cutler were enough to earn him a victory over Chris, who scored well in defeat. In what was perhaps the year's lowest scoring affair, Jeremie was able to squeek past Mike behind Julius Jones. And finally, Matt Schaub and Pierre Thomas were just enough to get Dan L. by Nick in a close game.

MATCHUP OF THE WEEK
Uncle Joe vs. Paul. This season's only incarnation of the "Shindelus Family Feud" has all the earmarks of a classic in the making. Paul is the highest scoring owner thusfar, and Joe has won two $20 prizes already. Both are two-time champions, sport equal 6-2 records, and are coming off weeks where they scored 152 and 146 points, respectively. Andre Johnson will be the only player of note on a bye, so the teams are at full strength. Who wins this seasons' family bragging rights? We'll find out!

LEAGUE NEWS & NOTES:
-Thank God, the last week of bye weeks. This week there are only two teams on bye: Houston and the NY Giants.
-Take note that there is a Thursday game: San Francisco vs. Chicago. So if you have players on either team you'll want to have them in your lineup before Thursday evening. You will still be allowed to pick up free agents until Sunday morning.
-In what is already the second-leading candidate for the most lopsided trade of the year after just one week (behind only Mendenhall for LJ), Marc sent WR Larry Fitzgerald and RB Felix Jones to Nick for RB Joseph Addai and RB Shonn Greene.
-Q: What do Billy Graham and the Oakland Raiders have in common? A: They can both make a stadium of 50,000 people say "Oh Jesus."

THE "POOP LIST"
No one made the poop list this week.
