THE STOVE IS HOT and Week 8 Power Rankings
Wow! With the trade deadline less than 1 week away the KSFBFFL has been seen more deals than your local Wally World.
Completed Trades
Firechef's trade Demarious Thomas to the Raw Dawgs for a 3rd round pick.
Dixieland 3/5rs trade Terrance Williams to the Lucky Tate's for a 4th round pick.
Polygamy Pounders trade Eddie Lacy to the Dixieland 3/5rs for a 8th round pick.
Dixieland 3/5rs trade Cam Newton and Brandon Marshall to the Taints for a 3rd round pick.
Dixieland 3/5rs trade Eddie Lacy to the Touchdowns for a 4th round pick.
Now lets take a look at what teams we see as "Buyers"
Buyers
PV Porch Monkeys- The PV Porch Monkey's biggest need is at the RB position where they have been devastated by the loss of CJ Spiller. Things are so bad the Monkeys may be forced to start Isiah Cromwell and Bobby Rainey next week....GM Pearce Mckinney was quoted as saying "We think the league is down this year(Stanley is in first, LOL) and the opportunity to return to the championship game could be a move away. That move will be the acquisition of a RB and we are in conversations with multiple GM's."
50 Shades of Taint-The Taints have already executed a Blockbuster this year sending their 3rd round pick to the 3/5rs in exchange for Tony Romo and Cam Newton. This team is still hungry and has expressed interest in acquiring a #1 running back to pair with Ronnie Hillman and Ben Tate...is a deal for Arian Foster in the works?
Keckism Killers- The Killers are the favorites to take home the title this year but don't expect GM Jason "Tum Tum" Stanley to sit on his hands. Speculation is the Killers are looking for a WR to keep a spot warm until Josh Gordon returns.
Lucky Tate's- With the acquisition of Terrance Williams earlier in the Year the Tate's have a squad that should be able to reach the playoffs. If they want to make any noise when they get in the playoffs they could use a top flight WR/RB to play in the flex position.
Raw Dawgs- WHAT? Shocking I know but the 2-5 Dawgs aren't ready to give up telling BWKNBNC "Trades? The phones have been ringing off the hook with offers to send us draft picks. We are still buyers at this point". GM Matt Murphy EXPECTS to acquire a top flight RB before the deadline hits. Will RB Eddie Lacy be traded for a 3rd time this year?!?
Slob on My Cobb- The Cobb's have quietly been having a solid year since their move to Missourah. Look for GM Tristy Trupka to work the phones in an attempt to land a top flight TE for his playoff push. Could the PV Porch Monkeys deal Jimmy Grahm for Marshawn Lynch?!?
Sellers
Polygamy Pounders- While some GM's were snickering at the Pounders for dealing Eddie Lacy for a 8th round pick, Pounders GM Keane Cheese was ambivalent saying "Its a fire sale, things go for fire sale prices". The Pounders still have a couple pieces to move so it will be no surprise if Arian Foster/AJ Green/Andre Johnson all have a new home by this time next week.
Dixieland 3/5rs- The 3/5rs have been the most active team in the league so far and have compiled an impressive 7 picks in the first 4 rounds of next years draft. The team is still fielding offers but remains adamant that WR Calvin Johnson will go for no less than a 3rd round pick saying "We traded some pieces away but we still have an outside shot at the playoffs, its in our fans best interest not to fully abandon the season"
FireChefs - Last years champion started the dealing early this season when they sent Demarious Thomas to live at the Dawg Pound. Despite their victory last week they remain committed to the rebuilding process. Unfortunately this team lacks any real stars and can only expect to receive some mid round draft picks for QB Drew Bree's or RB's Bishop Sankey/Brandon Oliver/Shane Vereen.
POWER RANKINGS
1. Keckism Killers(5-2)
Cream of the crop. The Killers just keep on Killing anyone dumb enough to step on the field. Up next is the West Canaan Coyotes.
2. My Lucky Tate's (4-3)
The Tates plan to ride RB's Jamaal Charles and Ahmad Bradshaw to a deep playoff run.
3. 50 Shades of Taint (4-3)
The Taints have rocketed up the rankings this week after acquiring Cam Newton and Brandon Marshall. Keep an eye on this team as they look for their 2nd championship.
4. PV Porch Monkeys (4-3)
The Monkeys are in desperate need of a RB, hell they need 2 RB's if they want to keep their momentum going.
5. West Canaan Coyotes (4-3)
A big matchup this week with the Keckism Killers. Could this be a title game preview?
6. I Touchdown There (4-3)
The recent trade for Eddie Lacy has given this team a new outlook on the season. Could GM Mike Gomez really trade him again?!?
7. Slobb On my Cobb (4-3)
The Cobbs havent made any moves yet preferring to keep their roster intact.
8. Raw Dawgs (2-5)
The Dawgs are hungry and could make some rash moves in an attempt to win now. It wouldnt suprise me to see GM Matt Murphy trade away ALL of next years picks.
9. Dixieland 3/5rs (3-4)
While the team has dealt some key pieces they feel they have enough to remain dangerous and hopefully sneak into the 6th playoff spot.
10. Puff Puff Pass (3-4)
The Puffs started RB LeSean McCoy last week. The eagles had a bye....that should tell you all you need to know.
11. Polygamy Pounders (3-4)
The once proud pounders are floundering in a sea of 3.2 beer and tears, sweet salty tears.
12. The FireChef's (2-5)
Despite getting the W last week GM Justin VanHeche is committed to rebuilding saying "BURN IT DOWN"
