Week 7 is complete, and some of our League Leaders categories have been rocked drastically by unforeseen events. Unfortunately, with the creation of new competitions for Week 8, tracking League Leaders becomes even more tedious than it is now. Thus, runner-ups will not be provided in the final tallies of each category next week. However, I still plan to present the conference winners for each category, if reasonably possible.
BEST SCORER
The MML community was shocked to learn that its runaway leading scorer, Varil, who had 12 touchdowns last week and scored another one in Week 7, is no longer with The Frozen Thrones! The Thrones have yet to issue a statement as to what happened, but here is what I have deduced so far: At the conclusion of the top of Turn 16 of the Thrones’ Week 8 game, with the game out of reach, blitzer Alglin decided to foul The Bell Keepers’ blocker The Pusuer. This may have incensed the Keepers’ Most Violent player, Velstadt, Royal Aegis, who responded in the bottom of T16 with a legal Mighty Blow against Varil. For an unexplained reason, CabalVision crystal balls cut from the field before the results of that blow were shown, but we suspect that a resulting injury may have something to do with the disappearance of the League’s most exciting offensive player. We await a statement from The Frozen Thrones. In the meantime, the race for the League scoring title is all of a sudden close again, with the two leaders, Side Winder, of the Skuttle Butts, and Billy, of Leaping Lizard, holding 7 touchdowns each.

BEST RUSHER
With Varil gone, his 430 yards give way to only 4 rushers who have broken the 300-yard mark. Juken’, of Skuttle Butts, was busy in week 8, scurrying past conference-mate Chuck Bacon (316), of Pork Attack, to lead the pack at 344 running yards. Also passing Bacon and moving into 2nd place is Spermadactyl, of TMNL, with 320 yards.

BEST THROWER
He’s fast. He’s strong. But what you most need to worry about when facing Nimphenien Aladanae of Thee Grandiose Gladiators is his golden arm. He has thrown for 108 yards this season. However, Darvi Bloodwings’ Lilriorn has amassed 90 throwing yards in only 3 games, so this category may come down to a close Week 8 finish!

Below, you may also notice that the WFC has a new receiving leader, as Mikael Vogin Jr., of the Gottleib Gladiators, was killed in Week 7.

BIGGEST BRUTE
Knob Creek, of Bill COWher Power Hour, has now broken the 10-knockout mark. Rumor has it that Mintendo is requesting licensing rights for a “Knob Creek’s Punch-Out!!” video game. Not too far behind Creek is the Skuttle Butts’ Decapitator, who has knocked out 8 competitors this season.

MOST VIOLENT
Last week, I declared that there were 4 Horsemen of the Apothecary. As the saying goes, though, you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Goqtoc of Despair, of Reptile Dysfunction, is dead. And Wade, of Leaping Lizard, has decided to pull ahead in the race for carnage. With 9 casualties inflicted, he is currently the most violent player in the MML. Hot on his heels, however, is Robshank, of The Green Tide Titans, with 8.

BEST INTERCEPTOR
Still just 1 interception through 7 weeks of the regular season. Will orc blitzer, Marnast, of Cans wes eats it, finish the season as the League ball hawk?
BEST PUNCHING BAGS
As one might expect, you don’t last long at the top of this category. Lothanfel, of the Loren Rockets, who was tied for first place in this category last week, is dead. The 2 current leaders are Hyper Fang, of Skuttle Butts, and Throne Watcher, of The Bell Keepers, both having been knocked out 6 times this season.
