If you still haven't taken a gander yet, we’ve got the full interactive 2013-2014 RCL Standings tab up under “Leagues” that shows you how you’re stacking up against your Razzball competitors in your journey to RCL glory. RCL Top Scorer

TOP SCORER: Well it was a heart stopper indeed with the Heart Stoppers crushing the RCL ecosystem this week from the Hernandez Hit Men league, putting up 217.02 points in an epic week amongst elite weeks. A team featuring Brees, Gonzo, Foster, is always going to have a chance to score it big, but it was the surprise big game from Nate Washington and the solid streaming move of the Colts D against the Jags that put the Stoppers over the top(pers). Despite the huge week, the Stoppers move to 2-2 and only 7th place, with scott's Team the only undefeated squad left in the Hit Men league. Everyone put a bounty on scott! Congrats again Heart Stoppers for becoming an RCL legend!

Sproles Patrol!

I don't know whether this reference dates me or obscures me. Probably both. I don't care. When a man walks on stage with Steve Martin looks and belts it like he's Michael McDonald, he's hard to forget. Or hard to remember? You decide. I'm making reference to none other than Taylor Hicks. Did you buy an album? No, definitely not. Were you a part of the Soul Patrol fan club? Not even close. Did you even vote for him on American Idol? What's American Idol? Did you watch the parody of him on SNL and it just stuck with you over the years? Bingo. I'm moved by music and by comedy. Taylor is both neither and both at the same time. SOUL PATROL! Look, I can't help it if he's one of the funniest artists to ever win American Idol. Don't hold that against me. So what does this have to do with Darren Sproles, you ask? Eh, nothing really. But if you need a reason, how about 'both are good in their own field but at the same time were never expected to amount to much based on their physical makeup?'. Woah. I just made sense in a lead paragraph comparing Hicks to Sproles. My life is complete. *Logs out*. In reality, Sproles left San Diego with a question of 'what exactly is this guy'? He's talented, sure. He's also good at football but we keep calling him a running back. He's not really that. Of course, when he moved to the Saints, the reality of who he could be was realized. Sproles topped 100 receiving yards on the night for the third time in his Saints career, going for 7/114/1 through the air and even adding a ground TD on 4 for 28. Sure, he chucked in a fumble - his first as a Saint - but it's easily forgiven on this night. Sproles is the Saints' slot receiver in disguise and by 'disguise' I mean 'hey everyone, look in the flat! It's Sproles! Who's covering that guy?'. Don't know how any NFL team could forget Sproles could catch the ball but the Dolphins did tonight. Though Darren has been relatively quiet so far, he's on pace for 1108 receiving yards and 8 TDs for the season, not to mention 92 receptions. Sometimes, it's not about being the best at what you do, it's about finding your niche and sticking to it. Here's to you Taylor Hicks. May your peppered mop forever live on.
