Another week has come and gone in the world of FANTASY FOOTBALL and team managers are starting to get a feel for who will be part of their winning team and who will join the flaming garbage pile that is the Seattle Seahawks. A lot of close games this week which is good for parity….unless you’re on the losing side, in which case I would recommend a handle of Fleischmanns Vodka, 12 bucks at your local supermarket!
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** The Little Guy DEF Ron Paul 4 Lyfe by 4.28 points **
In a close fight that was not decided until late Monday night The Little Guy proved the better with strong contenders in Matthew Stafford (QB – Det / 30.73) and Darren McFadden (RB – Oak / 28.90) while Ron Paul 4 Lyfe continued to ride the Buffalo bandwagon with Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB – Buf / 26.73). Next week The Little Guy (1-1) will play two hand touch (1-1) while Ron Paul 4 Lyfe (1-1) will play PorNada (0-2).
** Wildcats Rule DEF Sex Panther by 4.63 points **
Does James Laurinaitis (LB – StL / 19.50) sound like a medical condition to anyone else? Well in this showdown it was still not enough to take down Wildcats Rule’s Tom Brady (QB – NE / 30.71). With poor showings from both teams WR corp- Mike Williams (WR – TB / 1.55), Plaxico Burress (WR – NYJ / 0.0), and Julio Jones (WR – Atl / 1.95) there is certainly room for improvement from both offensive-wise. Next week Wildcats Rule (1-1) will play browns backups (2-0) while Sex Panther (0-2) will play Sobchak Security (2-0).
** Mad Max’s Mama DEF Boss Hogg by 9.06 points **
In an interesting match between Mad Max’s Mama’s consistent roster with Patrick Willis (LB – SF / 18.00) and Ben Roethlisberger (QB – Pit / 17.05) vs Boss Hogg’s bipolar team featuring Peyton Hillis (RB – Cle / 30.35) and Jay Cutler (Qb – Chi / 11.88) Mad Max’s Mama prevailed. Both teams had some of the lowest points totals for the week and I bet their managers will be making some major adjustments before the next game. Mad Max’s Mama (1-1) will play Pack-Men (1-1) while Boss Hogg (0-2) will play GrNeGgSnHaM (1-1).
** Sobchak Security DEF two hand touch by 11.72 points **
In a high-scoring game Sobchak Security took out two hand touch with very strong games from Adrian Peterson (RB – Min / 33.55) and Shonn Greene (RB – NYJ / 18.75). two hand touch was no slouch with an all-around consistent double digits team featuring Matt Ryan (QB – Atl / 27.90), Miles Austin (WR – Dal / 27.80), and New York (Def – NYJ / 23.00) among his top points earners. Next week Sobchack Security (2-0) will play Sex Panther (0-2) while two hand touch (1-1) will play The Little Guy (1-1).
** browns backups DEF Pack-Men by 21.95 points **
browns backups’s strong running back duo Michael Turner (RB – Atl / 24.05) and Jahvid Best (RB – Det / 27.65) put the team on their backs to lead him to another win. Pack-Men, despite strong games from Beanie Wells (RB – Ari / 17.65) and Michael Vick (QB – Phi / 16.99) could not get even one of his players to break the 18 point barrier, leading to his defeat. Next week browns backups (2-0) will play Wildcats Rule (1-1) while Pack-Men (1-1) will play Mad Max’s Mama (1-1).
** Guns of the Navarone DEF PorNada by 26.13 points **
Guns of the Navarone, despite only 4 of his 12 players having winning games, continued his strong start to the season with LeSean McCoy (RB – Phi / 27.80) and Vincent Jackson (WR – SD / 23.10) picking up the slack for Antonio Gates (TE – SD / 0.00). PorNada had another decent game from Brett Favre wannabe Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB / 23.21) but that was not enough to make up for poor showings from LeRon Landry (S – Was / 0.00) and Davone Bess (WR – Mia / 2.76). Next week Guns of the Navarone (2-0) will play RN to the Rescue (1-1) while PorNada (0-2) will play Ron Paul 4 Lyfe (1-1).
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** GrNeGgSnHaM DEF RN to the Rescue by 57.49 points **
Holy moly! This week’s AKOTW showcased GrNeGgSnHaM’s team, with 6 players producing more than 15 points each, steamrolling RN to the Rescue’s Drew Brees (QB – NO / 26.60) and Arizona (Def – Ari / 11.84). Among GrNeGgSnHaM’s (Edi Note- I really, really hate typing your name) top points earners were Jeremy Maclin (WR – Phi / 24.35) and Tony Romo (QB – Dal / 20.90). Next week GrNeGgSnHaM (1-1) will play Boss Hogg (0-2) while RN to the Rescue (1-1) will play Guns of the Navarone (2-0).
RON PAUL’S GOLD STANDARD MVP OF THE WEEK:
This week’s RPGSMVPOTW goes to Minnesota’s only reason not to burn the Metrodome down, Adrian Peterson (RB – Min / 33.55). Peterson managed to gash Tampa Bay’s defense with 120 yards and 2 TDs in a display reminiscent of the parting of the Red Sea. The question remains of whether Peterson will be able to lead the children of Minneapolis into the promised lands of Indianapolis. The answer is no by the way.
