SLaM '99 Power Rankings

Rookie of the Year? A given. The real question now is whether or not RB Edgerrin James should be the league MVP. After all, yet another monster performance from this strong contender pushed Ming's Minions into the playoffs.

Since the instant replay clock has now expired, we present the SLaM '99 Power Rankings, based on results from Week #13.

RANK TEAM REC LAST THE WORD
1 Charges 20-6 1 One vote for the most underrated player in the league? How about Steve Beuerlein? The man averages over 25 points per game in total obscurity.
2 Minions 17-9 3 With the way the running backs and receivers are playing, the Minions only need competent performances from their two quarterbacks. Good, because that's all they are getting!
3 Minorities 18-8 2 This team has been on cruise control since early November. Can they turn it on in time for the playoffs?
4 Gunslingers 15-11 4 Which quarterback leads the league in points per game? That's right - Jeff George. Big surprise there.
5 Snipers 15-11 5 This team won a game with Shaun King & Jim Harbaugh as its quarterbacks? Will wonders never cease?!
6 Billz 11-15 6 Rich Gannon continued his masterful season this past week. Of course, he was on the bench at the time, but so what?
7 Legion 10-16 7 Jake the Snake is back in prime form. A little faith in Mr. Jerry Rice and this team may have knocked off the Charges.
8 Dictators 9-17 8 Now that is the Dan Marino we all remember. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late for the Benevolent Dictators.
9 Destroyers 2-24 9 News flash: Shane Matthews actually returned to the lineup this week. Of course, it took a failed drug test to make that happen...

The Proudest Monkeys would like to thank ESPNet and Josh Freeman, owner of the Avon Gunslingers, for the inspiration necessary to establish these Power Rankings on the internet.
