Week 2 proves that you can go worst to first in just two short weeks. It also proves that mother nature can whoop fantasy
football any day of the week. With the Crabs versus Worms, it was the Python versus Sheep that proved to be the real game
this week. And apparently the Python won. And it was gross.
But I digress, not digest, and tell you that…
Tools Lose in Last Minute BS Catches. Pillow Injured in Incident.
Sunday night came, and I was losing. Losing bad. By 10. I had Betts (in place of Portis) and OCBB had Moss. 10 points (and
then some) wasn’t even a possibility. That is until the Washington passing game went limp and it was all up to the short
dumps. With less than 8 minutes to go, Betts caught 4 and gave me the lead by a mere 0.20 points. With a blown Redskin
fourth down, the ball went back to the Cowboys to kill the clock. Only they couldn’t get it done, blowing a 3rd and 4. So they
punted. And then it began. With under 4 to go Brunell aired it out against the Cowboy dime defense and Moss caught one
here for 20+ and one there for 30+. It was all Moss and the Ballers needed for the win. It was roller coaster of emotions that
made me laugh, cry, smile and want to kill. A roller coaster of pain and torment. It was the creepy one that goes into the black
abyss for a second too long and scares the shit out of you. It was painful and unhappy.
Five Shows His Power
If I’m Nick Serrano, I can’t WAIT to get out of the country. Last season’s miracle season is looking more and more like it was a
product of long cold nights in Moscow. Now, with London on the horizon, could Nick get better? We’ll see, but for this week, it
was all Five as Galloway finally proved his muscle as a keeper with almost 20 points, after going scoreless in week 1 (much like
Vernon Davis went this week). Five had a solid showing with all players (minus Davis) going over 10 points each, or flirting with
it (Wilkins). Meanwhile labor saw flashes of a big year for Darrell Jackson, but couldn’t get anyone else started, including the
highlight reel of Warrick Dunn. labor will have a lot to prove as the season goes on, and if he does well, then it’s a spot of tea
all around!
Tanks Flatten Nose
Say what you want about Jason’s draft, he looks like he might be for real. With huge days from Bledsoe, Tomlinson and the
Seattle D, the lack of productivity from Parker and Gonzalez seems ok. And isn’t that what the best teams do? When one
falters, the other scores 27 points? Of course, Nose got good numbers all around with 10+ from everyone except for Winslow
and Reed. But without the special spark that a team needs, he didn’t have the muscle to seal the deal. Ok, so what does a
team need? An all around day (Nose) or some big playmakers (Shermtanks)? Playmakers seems to win this battle.
Worms Can’t Get A Bite
It’s not that Parker isn’t putting up the numbers – it’s that he’s playing some tough teams. Parker had it all: A milestone for
Harrison, a big day from James, and a amazing day for any kicker, especially Longwell. Unfortunately, crawling across the
century mark for the second week in a row wasn’t enough. And so the Crabs snapped him in two, breaking him with DeAngelo
Williams (23!) and the power of Peyton Manning (34 – F! why didn’t I draft him?!). The Crabs suffered a loss with a 100+ game
last week. Now Worms have faced it twice.
McNabb Continues to Lift New Jersey
In the lowest scoring game of the week, it was Donovan McNabb who shinned the brightest. 29 points from the SU Alum helped
lift up the Jacobins to a 2-0 start. It’s Moss who seems to be the issue – will the Jacobins be able to make it to the playoffs with
a lackluster #1 Wide Receiver? Meanwhile, Dorfman has issues, as his team failed to gain more than 85 points for the second
week in the row. Although the trade this week helped Dorf increase his points (from 72 last week to 84 this week), he’ll need
some serious help in the next few weeks as he plays the Worms, Nose and Tools – all teams that went over 100 this week.
Nomads Make First Slip
After looking like the team to beat, Nomads slipped this week, scoring a paltry 87 points. Add on the TO injury and you wonder
if Nomad dominance is no-more. Meanwhile Born looked great this week, thanks especially to Eli Manning and an OT heave to
Burress. Cadillac still seems like a problem, but Shaun looks to have worked out week 1 rustiness (14). If Born can continue to
get big days from any of his Wide Receivers (Cotchery can’t pop up for 20 every week) then this could be a fun year for our
man in the Bayou. (PS – I enjoyed the fact that 11 people voted for this game, all for Nomads)
Garbage Makes Canton Cry
What can I say about this game that hasn’t already been said? A garbage time TD? A huge day from Baltimore doubled any
other player on Canton’s team? A loss by a mere 1.59? It’s all true and all heartbreaking. So I’ll just say this: At 2-0, I’m calling
the Bandits as the team to beat. Brady is suffering without Branch, but will bounce back, Rudi is great this year, and the WR
combo of Burress, Bennett and Bruce are the real deal. Brock – the target on the back is yours.
Best of luck to everyone this week.
Swami, back down to earth at 3-4 this week, will be have predictions entered by the Saturday night
football any day of the week. With the Crabs versus Worms, it was the Python versus Sheep that proved to be the real game
this week. And apparently the Python won. And it was gross.
