League News___

Favre joined the Packers in 1992. He became the starter September 27, 1992, and has never let the job go since. Favre is on the verge of holding a number of NFL records. His team is 3-0 and looks to make it 4-0 this weekend.

Touchdown passes: 420 *Ties Marino, Dan has 420 too. Tarkenton managed 342

Passes attempted: Marino: 8,358 Favre: 8,348

Passing Yards gained: Marino: 61,361 Favre: 58,361

Regular season wins: Elway: 148 Marino: 147 Favre: 150 (*Got this on down.)

Consecutive starts: Favre will have 241 this Sunday. The second longest recorded streak of all time, and the most by any NFL QB. Favre comes in second to Minnesota lineman Jim Marshall. Marshall has a record of 270 consecutive starts. To contrast this just a bit, how amazing this is: Peyton Manning in his 10th season has 145 consecutive starts. Favre is king where QB starts is concerned. Being honest, Manning is great, I doubt Manning can play or will choose to play long enough to break this record. And I say that even if Peyton dodges any and all serious injuries. Right now each time Favre starts so does Manning. If Favre, the living football Legend, chooses not to play after this season, only then can anyone start to gain ground on consecutive starts. Good luck, good luck, to any QB chasing this record.

Favre says: "That's why they have records, so the next guy can break them."

Records fall. But Championships, like true Champions endure. Beyond tomorrow, after the sun sets...on and on. In our hearts, stories and dreams.

You are one of a kind Mr. Favre and when you step onto the field for the last time, I'll cry. Truly. Good luck this year old lion.

End Week 3

Week 2, 2007

Week 2, 2007

Welcome to week 2 of our fantasy league. I asked 3 questions last week. Could the Panthers go 2-0. The answer was no...Houston tore them up. Yes, Houston.

Would Eli play week 2. League-o-sphere voted no, but he did. However the Giants lost and are now o-2.

And yes Wolfens did dominate again this week but they could not hold onto the #1 spot at the top of the league.

Okay now for some Smacktalk: Fighting Marmots: "Relying on matchups are for those who don't know how to draft properly. ;-)

Dead Rabbits: "You've got good matchups Marmots but you're still going down like a cheap hooker."

Kyle of HH: Lee's gay.

Lets get to the scores this week then we'll list the best players of week 2. The Butchers cleaned up this week and so did Dead Rabbits.


Regul8rs
85.00
Wolfens
110.72

Fighting Marmots
116.91
GridIrony
118.59

Argonauts
116.32
The Dead Rabbits
156.02

Necessary Roughness
109.58
The Butchers
147.18

Hungry Herpes
105.63
Skoal Bandits
99.80

Best Players of Week 2:

QB: Carson Palmer: 40.52 of Dead Rabbits (*Holy Moly*)

WR: Steve Smith: 32.40 of The Butchers

RB: Marion Barber3: 18.25 of GridIrony

TE: Kellen Winslow: 15.50 of Fighting Marmots

K: Jeff Reed: 14.00 of The Butchers

DL: Bryant Young: 26.25 of Kyle XY's team :-)

DB: Darren Sharper: 24.00 of The Butchers

League news:
Edgerrin James said: "I want to ride all the way to the top with him. I won't let him breathe or give him a chance to slack off. I'll be in his ear constantly, regardless of how he take it." James speaking about Matt Leinart and the wisdom James believes he can give Leinart.

New England, perhaps the team to beat this year, is undefeated. Colts, Pittsburgh, Lions, Green Bay, 49Ers, Redskins, Houston, Denver Broncos & Dallas Cowboys are all 2-0.

Kevin Everett is showing some movement in both hands and greater strength in his leg muscles. Everett sustained a life threatening injury during a tackle, a spinal cord injury. My prayers are with you Mr. Everett

That does it for League-o-sphere this week. Check back week 3, the week the league starts to take shape. Weeks 3 through 6 are pivotal. Exciting times are ahead.

End Week 2

Week one: 2007

Fantasy football week 1, 2007

Welcome everyone. I usually don't start off with smacktalk first thing, and I won't this year either. A few things have changed. Sweetpea's Minions have left the league. Kyle XY and his team HH have joined. I will not be writing the name of Kyle's team on this blog unless he wins the Superbowl, so that should be never. :p

Also The Bus Drives changed their name to Regul8ers. Da Ditkas moved from Appalachian to Cherryville and so the team felt a name change was in order to fit the new venue...Da Ditkas is renamed: Necessary Roughness.

Now for some smacktalk. Honestly I have chosen to represent only one player for my smacktalk segment this week. When you read it you shall see why. A bit of info first: Ace Bronze is the Defensive coordinator of GridIrony.

Yo, Ace Bronze got mad lyrical skillz, Dead Rabbits checkin in with a rhyme with no frills. I got deep sixed this week but yo man check it, Argos up next, and man, Ima wreck it. I'm gonna take 'em to town while the crowd cheers, it looks like the same sorry team he had last year. Ima bag 'em and tag 'em, put 'em all on the shelves, your record this year? It will be 1-12. As far as this game goes, well you know my pick, Ima lock his ass up just like Mike Vick. Lee and Jay, next on the agenda, do they have what it take to make it through til December? On paper, the Roughness look real mean, but the Butchers'll slice 'em up with the Cutler machine. Lee's matchups are iffy, but his D's pretty stout, but come Sunday, he'll be on the wrong end of a rout. Jay's got my vote to go 2-0, but can Lee dig his way out of the snow, whoa, I don't know, let's check out the next show. The Bandits and the Herpes mackin the next game, but only one of these guys should get a new team name. Their rosters are decent, but the coaches are vexed. Matt won't catch the virus, he'll practice safe sex. The Bandits prevail when you look at the scores....Kyle get that shit checked, it a'int just cold sores. Still, this match-up's a crime scene, just break out the chalk while we wonder if either will change their smack talk. The Regul8rs and Wolfens are next to play, but Russ needs a QB, like yesterday. If he gets one, then good, 'cause the two he has suck. The Regul8rs don't care 'cause they make their own luck. Ocho Cinqo will go off for about 30 points, the Wolfens will fume with their nose out of joint as they watch their team fall from the pinnacle peak and try to regroup for the match-up next week. The Regul8rs move on and the Wolves get the shaft and I wonder if Derrick will ever show up for a draft. Now the games I have listed, well, they're all pretty sleek, but the one that's left is the 5 star this week. Both undefeated, these teams will not stop until one of them takes up their perch at the top. Jerod's got big name talent but it is enough to go toe to toe with the roughest of rough? It'll go back and forth and come down to the wire. And the nod will go to who's score is higher. This game'll be close, maybe too close to call, but in the end Gridirony will get the game ball. That's all I have now, my flow was just right, before all you ask, yes I know that I'm white. (...but I used to be black back in the eighties when I played for Oakland.....) DR out...........

Now for the players with the highest fantasy totals. This year it will list: QB, WR, RB, TE, K, DB and DL.

QB: Eli Manning: 27.84 Team: Wolfens

WR: Plaxico Burress: 31.20 Team: Wolfens

RB: LaDainian Tomlinson: 21.39 Team: Necessary Roughness

TE: Antonio Gates: 18.10 Team: Wolfens

K: Adam Vinatieri: 11.00 Team: Regul8ers

DB: Antoine Winfield: 18.00 Team: Fighting Marmots

DL: Dewayne White: 26.00 Team: The Butchers

Three Questions: Can the Panters win 2 in a row? Will Wolfens dominate again this week? Will Eli Manning play week 2? (League-o-sphere votes: No.)

League news: Vick is going to jail. Sentencing is Decmeber 10, 2007.
Colts soundly defeated New Orleans at home. The Giants took all kinds of damage, including Eli getting hurt. Dallas defeated NYG. St. Louis Rams got spanked by Carolina Panthers, Growl!
And Chicago was struck by lightning as the Bolts and LT...who's name actually stands for Lightning Tap, he is the lightning rod that make that offense hum, held Da Bears to 3 points. The Bears were so angry that they commanded: "We will go 15-1 and play The Chargers again in the playoffs." Rather bold statement. Lets see if it holds true.

Thanks to everyone and anyone that read this blog.

End: Week one
