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

Now for the matchups Week one:


The Dead Rabbits
87.48
GridIrony
133.16

Argonauts
91.09
Wolfens
138.84
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
