The fantasy playoffs continued. If you were like me, you were playing your last game of the year. Hopefully, if you had the skill and luck to make it into your league championship you did better than me. But enough about me let's get to the Freaks of the Week.

Saturday Minnesota's Randy Moss abandoned his cornrolls and looked like one of those troll dolls from a few years back. Luckily for his fantasy owners there wasn't a Sampson effect. Against the (struggling) Kansas City Chiefs, he caught seven passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Great numbers but not good enough for a Freak. To find our top wide receiver, we had to wait for the historic Monday Night game. Green Bay's Brett Favre had a game (or at least a half) for the ages (more on that later). He threw to 12 different receivers, his top target being second-year player Javon Walker. Walker caught 4 balls for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Sure, the Oakland Raiders defensive secondary was so bad a dead Don Hudson could have scored on them, but who cares? Fantasy points are fantasy points. And if your league gives bonus points for long individual plays, then you really did well with Walker.

The team that had the best all-around game this week was the Baltimore Ravens. You'd think that when the Cleveland Browns play them, they'd have more passion to beat up the team that abandonded their city. What has happened is the Ravens have the Browns' number. For Browns fans, this must feel like Art Modell is twisting a knife into their backs. On the offensive side of the ball, Jamal Lewis was a man among boys. He rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught three passes for 21 yards. Against the Browns this year, Lewis rushed for 500 yards, including a record game in week two. Sure, Minnesota's Onterrio Smith, Kansas City's Priest Holmes, and Jacksonville's Fred Taylor all had outstanding games, but Lewis is getting his second Freak.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Ravens were stellar--I mean Freakish. They shut out the Browns, sacked them five times, recovered three fumbles, and ran an interception in for a touchdown. Those guys looked like the team that gave the Ravens its first Super Bowl title, but they were playing the Browns.

It was another quiet week for tight ends. Denver's Shannon Sharpe only caught two passes, and Kansas City's Tony Gonzalez didn't get into the end zone. Someone had to shine, and that someone was New Orleans' Boo Williams. He caught five passes for 54 yards and one touchdown.

I have to get the Kicking Freak out of the way to get to THE football story of Week 16. There was a close battle. Not so ho-hum. Atlanta's Jay Feely kicked three fields goals and three extra points for 12 total. However, Dallas' Billy Cundiff did better. His four field goals and one extra point for 13 total points not only helped put Dallas in the playoffs, but got himself a Freak.

Now, onto a performance that will rank as one of the most memorable in football history. Sunday, a couple thousand miles from where the Green Bay Packers were staying in preparation for their Monday Night game against Oakland, Brett Favre's father, Irvin, died of a massive heart attack. After the initial shock from players, coaches, and fans, everyone wondered if Brett would play the next night. He hasn't missed a start in 204 games. Favre is the Lew Gehrig of NFL quarterbacks. Irvin was not only Brett's father, but his football coach. From a young boy, Brett loved football. It is in his blood and soul. Brett decided to play. Part of it was his loyalty to his team who needed a win to keep their hopes alive of winning the NFC North. But I think it was more than that. After last night's game, Brett said he knew his father was watching. He played last night as a tribute to his biggest fan.

Oh, boy! And what a tribute it was. For one half of football, Favre was in one of those places only the truly great sportsmen can go. In the first half, he threw for 311 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. If he would have called it a night at halftime that would have been enough to give him a Freak. What was even more Freakish was the way he did it. He was lazer-sharp. The touchdown to Wesley Walls was perfectly placed. But he made Oakland look like a Division III team. On one of the touchdowns to Javon Walker, Favre just threw it up. The Oakland defensive backs ran past Walker allowing him to leap and make the catch. Favre ran left and threw for a completion. He threw right for a completion. He stood firm in the pocket while linemen were just about to sack him, and he still made a completion. It was an amazing sight, and you knew every single throw was in honor of Irvin.

What Brett Favre did under so much emotion turmoil will go down as one of the greatest individual performances in sports history. The easiest parallel I can bring up is when Michael Jordan scored 38 on the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals while suffering from the flu.

Walker, Lewis, the Ravens Defense, Williams, Cundiff, and Favre. You were "simply the best." Go out and buy that song (no illegal downloading please). Let everyone know, you are not just the best, but Freaks of the Week!
