Week 7 finds a few grazing gazelles dying from hunger near the bottom of the league. What? That odd and perhaps inaccurate metaphor doesn’t make sense to you? Mon Dieu! Basically, we’re starting to see the bottom of the league level out a bit as they slip farther and farther out of contention.

At the close of Week 6, One Piece has remained bulletproof atop the standings. If he were streaking toward the end zone, he’d be watching himself on the Jumbotron and considering whether to start high-stepping now or in another 10 yards.

Week 5 is as dead and buried as the Bobcats’ playoff chances and in the RCLs, we’re seeing some more leveling offt and a few teams falling off. One Piece remains about as untouched as the hors d’ouevre plate we all saw the hostess sneeze on and Marty McSuperfly had a McStupefying drop.

One Piece looks to be an unstoppable juggernaut after the first four weeks of the season, having never spent a week outside of the top spot in the RCL averages ranking as well as the top of his division’s league ranking.

The most recent week of fantasy basketball felt like every scene in the movie “300.” Except that Dwight Howard wears more armor, LeBron is more ripped and the losers wear fewer facial jewelry than Xerxes. (I’m pretty sure that’s true, right?

The biggest swing week in fantasy basketball happened. It totally happened. I went to bed at the end of last week nervous as all get-out that this week wouldn’t happen, fell asleep, woke up and BOOM – week two!And it didn’t disappoint.

With the 2011-12 season’s first week grinding to a close, congratulations are in order for the Big Ball Dance League’s One Piece, who sit atop the RCL standings setting the pace for the rest of the us. They don’t lead any one category, but they’re in the top 10 in five of eight stat categories, which is pretty bananas when you think about it.

Having produced what feels like 900 reviews of every player ever to touch a Spalding, Razzball’s taking a 20 second timeout and squeezing its cramping side while it catches its breath. Until we’re ready to go-a wasseling again (sometime around noon today), a few announcements need announcing.

The air is crisp, the snow is falling, rows and rows of yellow and brown snowmen slump agonizingly in front yards. Yup, it’s official, NBA opening day in December makes everything else seem less awesome. Can you sense it? … No?

The Razzball Commenter Leagues are about set. The original RCL got wet, spawned slime cocoons, and are waiting to hatch and take over the city as we speak. The details of the leagues were posted last week. Click this link, or search for the post the old fashioned way.
