Sorry fellow league members, I know the suspense has been killing everybody, you have core metrics and an anemic Redskins-Eagles MNF game to thank for that. If this column sucks, it's not my fault, Neil wants something to read.
The final standings for week 2 are in, and here's a quick recap:
- There's been a Rex Grossman sighting! The stud of all studs if points were rewarded for overthrown receivers, fumbled snaps, and
impregnated ladies. Jon Zimmerman picked him up for Da Bears vs. the Chiefs and despite their hapless secondary, all that Grossman could muster was a meager 10 points. This was against a secondary that has a median age of about 43. Needless to say, his ass has been dropped as of this morning. All the while Jon looks for his next one night stand at QB, who could be.... - Derek Anderson(?). Where the fuck did that performance come from? With 328 passing yards and 5 td's, Anderson put on the best waiver wire performance in a game that was rife with stellar fantasy performance... either that, or a complete indifference to defense... I can't decide which it is exactly. 51-45 looks like the score of either an Arena League game or WNBA game, I can't decide on which either.
- Anyone with players on either squad reaped the benefits of the touchdown orgy that took place. Aside from Anderson, the game also saw TJ Houshmandzedah score 18 points, Chad Johnson with 32 (!!), Carson Palmer 51, Braylon Edwards with 26, and Kellen Winslow with 16 to top it all off. Suffice it to say, I didn't have any players who participated in the Ohio showdown and took a big L this week
- Of course Anderson's performance means that Brady Quinn will have some time to grow his hair out and get those highlights he's wanted all along.
- WR is the new RB-- statistically anyways. While the first two rounds of our draft were devoted solely to RB's and the stray QB in the mix, it seems like the receivers have been the big ticket performers through the first two weeks. Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Randy Moss are the best in show thus far. Meanwhile, preseason fantasy man crushes like LT, Stephen Jackson, and Larry Johnson have yet to put up a respectable effort.
- Prior to the 1pm games, I made the fatal mistake of watching Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN only to hear Chris Berman refer to one of my QB's as Matt 'Stump The' Schaub in his charming Bermanesque way. God I hate him.
- Last week, Scott bitched about taking a 3 point loss on account of Jason Witten's lifetime performance. This week, it was he who was on the other side of a 3 point win despite his bad ass kicker Josh Scobee going down with an injury. At this rate, Scott's league performance may come to resemble the 2003 Panthers with their run of games decided by 7 points.
- Neil Hurley, stop hogging the defenses, really.... you can only play one at a time. You're like the assface who takes the chip with all the guacamole off a plate of nachos.
- Standings after two weeks are as follow:

neil knows that defense wins championships. except in fantasy football.
i do need a good kicker. i hear morten anderson took time off from his shuffleboard game in del ray, florida to join the falcons. he is certainly a possibility.
