Emmanuel Classic - Week 2 Recap

HE HATE ME over Millburn Mustangs. The demise of my team came about when HE HATE ME's Frank Gore had a killer game with two long touchdown runs, leading to 36 fantasy points. It also would have helped if two of my wide receivers (Roy Williams for 1.8 and Devin Hester for 2.1 points) bothered to show up. Coach Song did well for a league which "is not a priority because there's no money in it."

Beginner's Luck? over Cooler than Baptists. Congratulations, Coach Fehringer. You're the winner of the "Just lost to the guy who admitted that he knows absolutely nothing about American football." In fairness, Coach Kwon has a decent team, and RB Chris Johnson (46 points) went absolutely bonkers from a fantasy persepctive. Three touchdowns runs of over 50 yards? Yup, that'll do it.

Hamsters over Pablo. My predicted "team to beat" continues to march on with a lethal and balanced attack. I'm still not convinced that Pablo's trade of Anquan Boldin and Robert Meacham to Punch in the Face for Joe Flacco was a good trade (especially with Jay Cutler likely getting most of the starting nods), but we'll see how this plays off in the long run.

Punch in the Face over Team Singletary. Punch in the Face has a strong team, and this would've been an ideal week for someone to take them down with Tom Brady getting shut down by the Jets defense. 6.64 points from Tom Brady? Are you kidding me? Fortunately for Coach Lee, he drew Team Singletary, who is winning the Bizarro League (this actually exists, when people try to score the least points as possible while playing active players). Michael Crabtree continues his holdout, having no effect on Team Singletary's already zero probability of victory.

No Yankees over Midgets. Give credit to Coach Tae, who guaranteed victory at some point this season with his all-Giants squad and delivered one against a Midgets team still run by an absentee owner. Uh, Coach Kang, now that you're back from Korea, will you please take Leger Douzable off your roster? Leger Douzable? Is this guy even a real person or the effect of someone mashing keys on the keyboard? In fairness to No Yankees, his 131 points would have beaten a number of teams this week, including mine. As for the "real" game, I couldn't be happier that the Giants ruined the Cowboys new stadium opener.

ANSKY over Go Yankees. Coach Lee joins the Hamsters and Punch In the Face as the remaining undefeated teams with a tight win over Coach Beenken's Go Yankees. A slight upset, ANSKY was aided by a banner game from TE Kellen Winslow (16 points) while Go Yankees' stud Adrian Peterson had a non-Superman output of 15.6 points.

Don't Tread on Me over Trail Mix. Coach Yeoh's Trail Mix continues to generate solid team points, but again runs into a team who produces just a little bit more. This week, it was Coach Cummings' QB Matt Schaub breakout 36 point game combined with zero production from WRs Greg Jennings and Kevin Walter which sealed the deal.

Good luck in your match against the rookie this week, Coach Kuo!

Just to add salt to Mr. Fehringer's wound, I was out this week and never bothered to set the line-up.
