A recap of the weekend's events.
1. "To Be My Own Manning" - From what I have seen this year, we could be heading for an all-Manning Superbowl. I think the Colts and the Giants are the two best teams in the league. Both have relied heavily on former backups and both are still putting up incredible offensive numbers. I think the Giants have a much better Defense, but the Colts have the better Manning. The offense on both teams, besides the Mannings, has become either a fantasy nightmare or fantasy miracle. Any receiver or running back can go off on either team. One week it's Brown, Bradshaw, Ollie, Manningham and the next week it's Addai, Jacobs, Wayne, Garcon, Nix, and Smith. For our own league's comedic purposes Tyler (thank god) has Addai, Brown, Manningham, and Nix.
2. Ronnie Brown - Man, that guy is a stud. He looks to have slimmed down from last year and runs in traffic better than any other back in the league. The Dolphins actually look better with Henne, who could make Ted Ginn valuable again. It was a personal hell to watch Brown score eight points on the first drive.
3. The Poop and Pee of Fantasy Gods - It continues to pile up on Lord Armstrangler. Strangler has lamented about the lack of help/luck he gets from the invisible hand of the Fantasy Gods. I have often regarded it as an excuse for him to keep his sanity, but now I have to admit that something of a higher power is at play. Strangler has scored the fewest points and had the most points scored on him. Brandon has sucked up a lot of the luck that should be out there, and Jim has clearly not gotten any help this year, but bad things seem to continually stack up against Strangler. I think it all stems from John's Randy Moss trade to Jim in Week 14 of our first season. Armstrangler has to find a way to break the curse.

I think the Saints can beat the Giants. We won't have to wait long to see. I think Minnesota could give both of them a run for their money. I also think the Jets and the Ravens could beat the Colts. I feel for Denver because I still don't feel like they are in the same league as the other unbeatens. Maybe that just stems from the fact that I haven't watched them play much...or the fact that Kyle Orton is their QB.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Ronnie Brown assessment. It was a real debate to take him or Kevin Smith with that first pick of mine. The only reason I chose Smith was Brown's schedule was so intimidating, but no one told him that. And what about Ricky Williams? He has quietly put up better numbers than such studs as Slaton and Forte.
Speaking of surprises, someone needs to seriously go through Cedric Benson's drug test results from the past offseason. He must have been on some serious shit because that guy is unstoppable.
Tyler is having some bad luck even though he is making some good waiver wire moves...although playing the wrong players. I guess he can take solace in the fact that even if he had played Austin instead of Sims-Walker he still would have lost.
