Week 1 Recap

Howdy folks. Well, I'm spent. That was a lot of shit that just went down - between injuries, comebacks, near upsets, and total-bed crapping, pretty much everyone has something to complain about from the weekend or be worried about going forward. Reality can be a bitch sometimes.

And after only one week in the books, it's already hard to get motivated to write this damn recap. So here are some motivational posters that might help...



Cobra Commander 50.70 Creeping Death 86.19 At least I've hit Rock Bottom early. Pretty much can only get better from here. Mazzle gets a strong performance from McNabb (before the ribwich injury) and good production from his stable of RBs to easily defeat my ass. I haven't beaten Bradley in the regular season since Week 6 of the 2007 regular season. Did I mention he dominates me in the regular season? Just wanted to give him those very specific props.


The Expendables 68.35 OopsIWittenMyPants 91.54 OopsIWittenMyPants (who needs to change his team name back to something with Falafel in it immediately) did the brave thing on draft day and chose Brian Westbrook when everyone else was scared to and was the only one brave enough not to draft a TE. And for at least one week it payed off big time. He wipes the floor with Mainerd and begins his comeback season in style. Meanwhile Maine is still jet-lagged.


Kwan of the Thong 68.94 Kosher Sausage King 74.35 In order to win in this league, you have to choose wisely. And Mr. S King (no relation to the horror writer) made a wise choice in sitting Larry Johnson against the Ravens defense, while Mr. Thongstein chose poorly when he decided to play fantasy football again. Congrats to Sean on surviving his first draft weekend, unconvincingly winning his first matchup, and managing to hang onto the little hair he has left in the process. (First bald joke of the year...ca-ching!)


Hump or Death 71.12 Dead Kennedys 90.02 Steve loses and he's angry, he wins and he's angry. Guess there's just no pleasing some guys (short of auto-erotic asphyxiation, and this ain't that kind of league. (though I seriously doubt that a fantasy football league/auto-erotic asphyxiation exists anywhere STEVE!)) Anyhow, Steve wins one out of his designated 4 games early this year, riding a big performance from Frank Gore (just like the old days back in Miami). On the flip side, your defending champ plans to start his title defense any minute now.


The Dane 115.09 The Wanstaches 108.61 This one was a bad luck heartbreaker for the Wanstaches, who put up the 2nd highest total of the week and still lost, thanks to the stylings of Drew Brees and the Breezetones. Not to mention the redonkulous Philly Defense. MFrank has 4 players score less that 2 points and he still puts up a sick total. I predict a Serena-like tantrum from Robby and a draft sheet stuffed down MFrank's [expletive deleted] throat.


One last piece of wisdom... Good luck to all next week. And when setting your lineup, have some fun and don't be afraid to take some chances.
