Josh Perdew has been fired as league Insider correspondent. Evidently he thought family gatherings, fishing trips, volleyball, basketball, and work to name a few took priority over the eSFL Insider correspondent job duties. He was wrong, thanks for the hard work the past two years and the three articles you provided.

FROST FURRIOUS FLURRIES (3-5, 1-4 Div)		TEMP'S TEXAS BOY'S (3-5, 2-3 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 824.44 Offensive Points 988.1 301.5 Defensive Points 246.5  1125.94  Total Points Fielded 1234.6    1262.2   Points Against 1299.9   22 Quarterback Pts Rank 17 19 Running Back Pts Rank 4 14 Wide Receiver Pts Rank 12 18 Tight End Pts Rank 13 6 Place Kicker Pts Rank 4 22 Defensive Line Pts Rank 25 5 Defensive Back Pts Rank 15 11 Linebacker Pts Rank  13 Game Notes Temp beat the Furrious Flurries in week one and is 10-4 in regular season matchups. The Frost Furrious Flurries try and win their third straight against long time rival Temp's Texas Boy's. These teams have met 14 times in regular season play dating back to 2005, with the most recent meeting being in week one this season. After a 166 loss in week one it appeared the Flurries were on their way to another tough luck season, but that thought ended in the following weeks with dismal performances. In week six the team posted a season best 211 and followed that with a 131 win over the Texan Bruisers for their second win in a row. The Texas Boy's have not won two in a row all season and are coming off a week seven loss to the Igama Sweaty Palms, a week that Boy's fans and coaching staff alike would surely like to forget, the 123 point performance was the teams lowest of the season. Both teams kicked the week off with Thursday Night Football performers. The Boy's got a very nice score from wide receiver Percy Harvin (22.1) while the Flurries cannot complain with linebacker Chad Greenway's output (9). As you can see I have given the Texas Boy's the edge in all catagories this week except the quarterback position, a no brainer. Frost has won two in a row but I am not convinced his team is any better than it has been. PREDICTION:   142-129

RHODES RUNNERS (3-5, 2-3 Div)		Pardue Bruisermakers (8-0, 5-0 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 917.44 Offensive Points 920.94 242 Defensive Points 394 1159.44  Total Points Fielded  1314.94     1198.7  Points Against 1147.7  12 Quarterback Pts 16 23 Running Back Pts 13 8 Wide Receiver Pts 18 17 Tight End Pts 8 12 Place Kicker Pts 1 4 Defensive Line Pts 2 18 Defensive Back Pts 8 22 Linebacker Pts 16 Game Notes Pardue has a lifetime 12-3 record versus coach Rhodes including a win in week one this season. After beating the hell out of Rhodes coached teams since 2005 coach Pardue of the Bruisermakers likely enters this weeks contest with little concern of victory or defeat. It's not because the Runners pose no threat to his undefeated record, but simply a matter of his team already have clinched a playoff spot for the 2012 season. The Runners traded away Calvin Johnson in an effort to have a more balanced attack with M. Jones Drew. The trade has been criticized by many but likely will be little concern to Pardue this week as MJD hurt his ankle and probably will not return until the Ballistic Bowl round.Pardue has won eight games without defeat thus far this season and has all but clinched a spot in the playoffs. Playoff bound or not, the Bruisermakers want the top spot in the Global division so they may pick their first round opponent. This week the Runners are nothing but a little speed bump. PREDICTION: 164-124

IGAMA SWEATY PALMS (2-6, 1-4 Div)		PERDEW PULVERIZERS (4-4, 3-2 Div)
Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 824.2 Offensive Points 1092.96 262.5 Defensive Points 231 1086.7  Total Points Fielded 1323.96    1350.8  Points Against 1281.2  4 Quarterback Pts 21 12 Running Back Pts 1 24 Wide Receiver Pts 2 3 Tight End Pts 12 11 Place Kicker Pts 14   13 Defensive Line Pts 6 6 Defensive Back Pts 17 12 Linebacker Pts 19 Game Notes Perdew is 2-1 lifetime (regular season) against Igama to include a week one loss this season. This contest will feature two teams in different directions. The Perdew Pulverizers started the season 4-2 and at the top of most all statistical cqategories. It is easy to know how the Pulverizers are doing because coach Josh will let everyone know if they are good, and if you hear nothing from him, they are bad. Two weeks of 135's and he is silent. The Igama Sweaty Palms started off 1-6 and looked like a real fraud coming off a 2011 world championship. But the past two weeks the Palms have scored a 191 and 166 and fans have something to keep their playoff hopes alive. PREDICTION:  172-156

D CROWNHOLDER (6-2, 3-2 Div)		ZIMA RUSKIES (3-5, 2-3 Div)
RIVAL GAME This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 981.46 Offensive Points 905.3 264.5 Defensive Points 261.5 1245.96 Total Points Fielded 1166.8   1123 Points Against 1159.7 2 Quarterback Pts 6 16 Running Back Pts 6 17 Wide Receiver Pts 23 19 Tight End Pts 6 9 Place Kicker Pts 20   3 Defensive Line Pts 8 1 Defensive Back Pts 13 24 Linebacker Pts 15 Game Notes D Crownholder have been abused in regular season play against Jesse Zima coached teams (3-8). The Crownholder won in week one this season. This matchup has become one of the leagues premier head to head rivalry's. The Crownholder and Ruskies are both surprises this season and contending for a Global division playoff birth. It doesn't matter what's at stake when these two meet, it will be a battle. The Crownholder somehow have won six this season, a miracle from my point of view. The Ruskies somehow have won three this season, a miracle from my point of view. The Ruskies are better than they were with the addition of Calvin J, but it aint good enough. PREDICTION:  154-137

WHITMORE WORKHORSE (3-5, 2-3 Div)		VIALL VIGILANTE (3-5, 2-3 Div)

Viall is the best team in the eSFL. Whitmore is the best team in the eSFL. Viall is the worst coach in eSFL  history. Whitmore is the worst coach in eSFL history. Don't believe anything you read on the internet. PREDICTION:  186-143

FIELDS FANATIX (5-3, 3-2 Div)		TEXAN BRUISERS (5-3, 4-1 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 1041.78 Offensive Points 908.82 304 Defensive Points 262.5 1345.78  Total Points Fielded  1171.32    1116.5  Points Against 1111.4  13 Quarterback Pts 10 9 Running Back Pts 22 9 Wide Receiver Pts 20 1 Tight End Pts 14 17 Place Kicker Pts 10 14 Defensive Line Pts 18 7 Defensive Back Pts 11 6 Linebacker Pts 8 Game Notes Texan Bruisers won when these teams played in week one, Fields is 2-5 in regular season games against coach Templin. After a hot start the Bruisers try and break three game losing streak against the Fields Fanatix and take full control of the Appalachian division top spot. The Fanatix are coming off two low performance weeks, a win and a loss, unable to exceed 132 points. The Bruisers have been bashed all season long as they were winning because the opponents failed to show rather than them beating the opponent. That trend seems to have ended and will reamin in effect again this week. The Bruisers will not win another regular season game in 2012. PREDICTION:  142-138

ORANGE CRUSH (3-5, 3-2 Div)		WALLIE'S TEXAS STARS (3-5, 2-3 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 902 Offensive Points 883 317 Defensive Points 178 1219 Total Points Fielded 1061   1270 Points Against 1145 8 Quarterback Pts 15 17 Running Back Pts 5 21 Wide Receiver Pts 22 11 Tight End Pts 5 5 Place Kicker Pts 23   17 Defensive Line Pts 26 21 Defensive Back Pts 24 1 Linebacker Pts 17 Game Notes Only meeting was in week one this season, Crush won 203-112. This week the Wallie's Texas Stars try and stop a three game skid while the Orange Crush have also lost two in a row. Even though I have given the Crush an edge in all spots this week except defensive backs, I believe the Stars can win this game dependent on one player, Reggie Bush. If Bush can get 25 plus the Stars will win. PREDICTION: 143-141

McKEVITT MEATSTYX (2-6, 1-4 Div)		FLISH'S CRAZY DIASY'S (3-5, 1-4 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 911 Offensive Points 862 250 Defensive Points 250 1161 Total Points Fielded 1112   1269 Points Against 1202 14 Quarterback Pts 23 15 Running Back Pts 11 19 Wide Receiver Pts 10 10 Tight End Pts 24 21 Place Kicker Pts 3   23 Defensive Line Pts 24 16 Defensive Back Pts 19 14 Linebacker Pts 9 Game Notes Only meeting was in week one,  167-103 win by McKevitt. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson's 6 point performance on Thursday night sealed the deal here, the Daisy's will not win a third week in a row. The Meatstyx are in serious trouble and have loss six straight. Ownership is optimistic the team can get one more win this season and prevent a season below the VIALL (2) line in that category. We at the Insider are not so sure about that. PREDICTION:  132-131

STANDOUT COALITION (6-2, 3-2 Div)	GAME OF THE WEEK	MONEY TEAM (7-1, 4-1 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 1011 Offensive Points 971 321 Defensive Points 293 1333 Total Points Fielded 1264   1191 Points Against 1111 1 Quarterback Pts 7 21 Running Back Pts 8 13 Wide Receiver Pts 15 4 Tight End Pts 22 13 Place Kicker Pts 16 1 Defensive Line Pts 12 14 Defensive Back Pts 9 23 Linebacker Pts 5 Game Notes Week one of 2012 was only previous meeting between these teams, Bunch won 202-163. For the first time this season the Brady Bunch enter a contest where the opponent is the clear favorite. The Coalition are coached by Josh Perdew this week and he has several questionable starts for sure. This game has all the possibilities of being a week 14 division championship preview and the fans across the world are pumped. The Coalition have won four straight and six of seven with an average points fielded of 172 for the season. The Bunch have won three straight after a week four loss and have averaged 158 points per week this season. If coachPerdew doesn't choke the Coalition likely will move into sole possession of first place(based on PF) the Orion division. The question is wether Julious Peppers and Devery Henderson are the right choices or not, and I don't think so. PREDICTION:  174-145

MONEY TEAM (4-4, 2-3 Div)	UPSET SPECIAL	KLIMKO K's (3-5, 3-2 Div)
This Week Pre-Game Stats Comparison 1022 Offensive Points 864 197 Defensive Points 213 1219 Total Points Fielded 1077   1223 Points Against 1255 20 Quarterback Pts 18 2 Running Back Pts 18 5 Wide Receiver Pts 11 20 Tight End Pts 16 8 Place Kicker Pts 15 7 Defensive Line Pts 9 23 Defensive Back Pts 10 18 Linebacker Pts 20 Game Notes 168-166 in week one victory for Klimko was the only meeting in history between these teams. The Money Team got 40 points from running back Doug Martin on Thursday Night and look to have the upper hand this week against a Klimko team that has all but dissappeared. Once coached by a vocal and active man, the K's are rarely discussed in the media since the team has fallen to 3-5 with two straight losses. Many believe the silnce of the coach is in part because he finally realized this aint the boy's over at the post office he's dealing with. There won't be any Calvin Johnson for William Powell, Joe Morgan, and Brandon Bolden trades around here. Anyhow, the K's get the upset this week. PREDICTION:  145-142

MIAMI BROWNSKINS (7-1, 4-1 Div)		DLUGIEWICZ FIGHT'N POLLACKS (5-3, 4-1 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 1128 Offensive Points 928 371 Defensive Points 267 1499 Total Points Fielded 1195   1307 Points Against 1121 3 Quarterback Pts 19 7 Running Back Pts 20 4 Wide Receiver Pts 6 9 Tight End Pts 2 2 Place Kicker Pts 19 11 Defensive Line Pts 5 2 Defensive Back Pts 3 2 Linebacker Pts 21 Game Notes Brownskins has won the only meeting between these teams in history, week one this season 192-155. Miami has dominated the league thus far and the Dlugiewicz Fighting Pollacks have surprised the league thus far. The only thing that changes this week is Dlugiewicz will not surprise this week. PREDICTION:  201-136

KAV'S KAVANATORS (2-6, 1-4 Div)		WEST VIRGINIA VENOM (3-5, 2-3 Div)
This Week PRE-GAME Stats Comparison 831 Offensive Points 956 268 Defensive Points 305 1099 Total Points Fielded 1261   1272 Points Against 1220 24 Quarterback Pts 5 10 Running Back Pts 24 16 Wide Receiver Pts 7 21 Tight End Pts 7 18 Place Kicker Pts 22   21 Defensive Line Pts 20 22 Defensive Back Pts 4 4 Linebacker Pts 7 Game Notes In the only previous meeting between these teams, Kav beat the Venom in week one this season 195-118. The Kavanators are on a roll, two weeks exceeding 150 and a win to go with it. The West Virginia Venom have lost four in a row even though they averaged 160 points a game, the lowest point total in that four game skid was 153. Man, it is hard to go against one of my favorite and dearest friends in the world, but I will and pick the Venom to win. Thats what you get when you steal logos and written work of others Kav, bad karma man. Clean up your act and the karma will be good for you next year. LMAO! PREDICTION:  165-143
