Week 2 came and went, some wins, some losses, some injuries, some trades. Otherwise known as another week in the FFL. Hopefully you don’t have AP (TGPBs), or muscle hamer (Capt), Danny Woodhead (who the f has him?) or Ameer Abdullah (huge loss), or any defense playing the Patriots! In the “This is Serious” league the GM must me ready to make moves or become the “Sacko”.
Let’s get through the blowout of the week….. A Super Bowl rematch between the defending champ Cats and the former defending champs and draft no-show, Team Grider. Final score. 120-77. Sad. This used to be a marquee matchup- game of the week- must see tv. Lately, not so much. Just Team Grider losses. Someone’s gonna get fired!! But lets not bury Team Grider just yet, he has always been a dangerous team, especially when on “the bottom”.
LO v TGPBs. Playoff contender vs Sacko. -6 pt fav. 117- 82 final. LO goes to 1-1, commish to 0-2. Maybe a good sign after TGPBs 4-0 start last year! Probably not. LO rolls on despite QB Wilson hurt and only scoring 11. But the ol man Forte went for 100yds and 3 TDs and 28pts. Hopkins tossed in 17 and Blount 18 despite the fact that he should be in jail. Trust me, that guy has committed crimes, we just havent busted him yet. The Power Bottoms could have helped themselves by benching AP (should have known he’d get hurt) and Watkins (should have known he’d get hurt) and thier combined 1pt. Bernard’s 15pts, and T Benjamin, 23pts, watched the Commish go to 0-2.
TSMYTDs v DSVP. These guys HATE each other, and it showed in this dogfight!!
TSMYTDs choice of DeMarco Murray (and a few other picks) was scoffed at by Team Griders group of draft experts. DeMarco goes for 13pts and another Grider draft expert was fired. 16 from Julio and Dez finally did something, 10pts, and the Panthers D with 14 for a total of 80. Which usually means you got beat down, or its mid-season and you’ve got byes and injuries. This is week two sooooooooooooooo…. but his opponent is DSVP, so lets see how it went down!! 29 from Cam and 22 from K Benjamin take the W 88-80. TSMYTDS left Ryan Matthews 2 TDs on the bench for J. Stewarts 0pts (should have known he would get injured) and Mike Wallace’s 16 over DeSean jackson 4 ( should have know he would suck agains the amazing Cowboy D!). Pugs missed the one chance to start a Browns player this season (until Josh Gordon gets back) by leaving I Crowell and his 20pts watching from the sidelines. Looks like DSVP bagged another valuable win!
And in the finale, TBIAC v Team Pigg. For once, ESPN almost had this one picked correctly (see Cats v Grider, 3.4 spread, 43 point blowout!) at 4.4 spread. Glass wins 84-79 to go to 2-0 despite the lack of good players or coaches. Pigg got gut-punched by Carlos Hydes 2 pts and Crosby’s 2 extra points. Deckers 18 on the bench would have been the difference maker over Cooks 6. But, as we all know,that is how the FFL go……. (I detect foreshadowing).
So that puts TBIAC and Cats at 2-0, Grider, Pigg, LO and DSVP at 1-1 and literally at the “BOTTOMS” is the Power Bottoms and TSMYTDs at 0-2. Dont worry though, there is plenty of FFL to be FFL’ed. The Bottoms started last season at 4-0 (not sure if i’d noted that anywhere?) and won the Sacko, and the Cats were 0-3 and now how a 4 foot monstrosity with plastic dicks in my office! (it is truly Maginificent!!) So, keep playing, keep trading, keep doing the homework. Injuries will obviously start to play a major role in the season as will the dreaded bye weeks to come. Till next time……
