Game Recaps - Week 2

Thunder Choads vs Buckwheat - 103.27 to 72.77 - This one is a final. The Choads win 103.27 to 72.77 knocking off the number one ranked team and 2008 Champions, Buckwheat. From the power rankings, I mentioned the Choad's receiving core needed to step up to make this team more balanced. They did just that this week with strong games from Percy Harvin and Steve Smith [CAR], combined with Adrian Peterson the topping 20 point mark. Buckwheat had decent numbers from Ryan Grant and Calvin Johnson with 14.50 and 14.38 and a rebound week from Kurt Warner. The rest of the RBs and WRs didn't fair so well managing only 14.26 points combined.

Dragons vs Crippled Monkeys - 129.28 to 122.73 - The Dungeons vs Dragons match up heated up on Friday with clever name changes and this one turned in to a close battle by days end. With a final score of 129.28 to 122.73, Dragons earn their first win of the season and more than likely the second high score of the week. Chris Johnson turned in the highest score by one play in the league's history with 53.50 points. Minus Derrick Mason, a very good point total from the team this week. Monkeys posted double digit scores from every player except for the Chargers defense. This one possible could have had a different outcome as Marion Barber had broken one for long yardage and a possible TD, but dropped like a rock around the 12 yard line with a pulled hamstring or something that caused him to stop running. If not for that freak injury, Monkeys would be victorious.

Stickboy vs Grease Slappers - 112.92 to 79.77 - Stickboy is up by 33.15 going into Monday nights game, but has reached his final score. Grease has Reggie Wayne yet to play Monday. 33.15 points is doable from Wayne, especially with Anthony Gonzales out, he should get plenty of looks. Stickboy had very decent numbers from his starters, Roethlisberger for the second week in a row was a huge key to Stickboy's success. I'm not sure what happened to Greg Jennings or the Packers, he gave Stickboy zero points this week. Grease again lost his quarterback to a rib injury, which really puts this team in a bind. Here is a strange stat that may surprise some of you, 141 yards rushing on 29 carries from Cedric Benson, that's not a typo. Stay tuned for the nail biter finish and see if Wayne can pull off a miracle victory for the Slappers.

Dynasty vs Big Daddy - 147.39 to 67.88 - The league's single game high score record is in jeopardy Monday night. Dynasty with a huge point total of 147.39 needs about 10 points from Joseph Addai on Monday night. Big Daddy still has Peyton Manning yet to play, but his points will not be enough to make this one close. Dynasty will earn the high score of the week and possible a record breaking night. All of his players posted high yardage totals plus 1 or 2 touchdowns for each player. Nicely done! Big Daddy did have okay yardage, but only scored 1 touchdown from the core of his starters.

Pimp Juice vs One Angry Gook - 130.48 to 104.89 - This one is a final, Pimp Juice moves to 2-0 on the season, OAG falls to .500. What really stands out to me on this match up is the bench points of OAG. More specifically, Darren Sproles 150 yards, 1 TD. With LT out, Sproles was the main ball carrier on the day for the Chargers. Is it a precursor to how it will be with LT getting up there in age? [See Michael Turner] Pimp Juice, as mentioned, had LT out for the week, yet didn't need him. Frank Gore, 246 yards, 2 TD and Fred Jackson 188 yards gave this team the lead for this match up. I'm curious what happens to Fred Jackson once Marshawn Lynch returns from suspension. The guys is putting up great numbers, how can you not give him the ball? For you Tom Brady haters, [Grease] just a mear 11 points for the week.

Rutting Bucks vs Stud Stable - 68.59 to 54.22 - Rutting Bucks is done for the week, Stables has Ronnie Brown on Monday to play. The lead for Bucks Bucks is 14.37 points. Splitting carries with Rickey Williams will make the final score a nail biter an too close to call a victor. I had expected to see Mike Bell in the starting line up this week, that would have made the difference in the "I Shoulda Started" category. Like Grease, Stables final point totals fell to earth like a rock. Rutting Bucks had a sub-par performance from his core lineup, though Chad Johnson [Ochocinco] and a surprising good game this week. I'm sure it hurt to root for Chad Johnson and root for the Packers at the same time.
