Week 1 Recap and Week 2 Previews!

Week 1 Recap:

It was a week of the haves and have nots, as way too many games were blowouts. Yet, we had Tracy eaking it out over Rook in a barn burner – they had the two highest scores of the week. Unfortunately, there can be only one.

Foam John Thomas has the better team – I don’t think anyone can dispute that. Top to bottom, his RBs, WRs, and TE are superb. Minus the McNabb injury, he has the team to go a long way in the league. On the other hand, Johnny Chimpos has Drew Brees. And that’s it. At all other positions, his team played out of their gourds. Sproles (who will have another good game this week with LT out), DeSean Jackson both scored over 20. To put that into context, Brees, Sproles, and Jackson (93.9pts) outscored half our league (<92pts).

In the battle of the Frenchies, Dufresne guillotined Loisel, who unfortunately decided to rely on the Texan’s offense for victories this year. Pumpkin Spice might not put up as good of numbers this week (LT out, Hightower not scoring 20pts again), but Romo might be the pick of the draft if he keeps putting up these numbers.

The league ladies have come out strong too. The Gridiron Ninjas rode the Iggles D all the way to victory! Steph’s 2006 Pro Bowl team and Purple Jesus were too much for SamU, whose Leisure King’s were led by Dwayne Bowe and David Akers. Ouch.

In one of the understated victories, AC’s Slaters beat Graham by close to 20 points. By itself not a monumental task, but given the fact that both Breaston and A. Gonzalez were scratches and scored 0 points... AC’s 91 points could have been closer to 120-130. Watch out when Breaston comes back.

Finally, in the battle of the horrible RBs, Moose took out October. Willie Parker, Mike Bell, Reggie Bush, Darren McFadden, Peyton Hillis and Michael Westbrook. Ugh. And it doesn’t look any better for Week 2.



Week 2 Pick ‘em:
Foam John Thomas – MJD, Reggie Wayne and Whitten might carry this team all year.

AC Slaters – Battle of the Shirtless Avatars will be taken by the duo of Thomas Jones and DeAngelo Williams. This one might be close though.

Johnny Chimpos – Brees does it again. Plus, SamU’s hopes rest on Torry Holt (version 2009, not 2005),

Fear the Hoodie – Dagan is playing against Car, Dal, Det and Buf. Klenk is against Pit, Phi, GB, Ten, and NYG. Bad day for matchups…

Gridiron Ninjas – Upset of the week. Jen’s top to bottom lineup will overcome Dufresne’s lack of a RB.

R-squad Sacapuntas – Graham is starting Derrick Ward over Matt Forte. ‘Nuff said.

Evil Universe All Stars – Moose’s RBs are in disarray. Who thought drafting the Saints backfield would backfire???





Whaaaat?!?
