WatchBlog here again. The late games have gone final, and no surprises in the results, but let’s get to it.
The Boys get Plowed...
The PlowBoys went down for the second week in a row, and were not even able to break the 70 point plateau. This can be attributed to Norman “do I have to watch non-Cowboy games?” Cook’s gutsy strategy of keeping Dez Bryant in the starting lineup, even though out with an injury. If asked, the PlowBoys chief might have said “I’ll take an injured Dez Bryant over a healthy Steve Smith any day.” Steve Smith, who has put up over 43 points while sitting on the PlowBoys bench, is definitely in Norman Cook’s doghouse. If the injured for the season Jordan Shipley gets the start over Smith in week 3, we’ll know just how much N. Cook hates Steve Smith.
Fresh Blood on the Field
The 47ers have already given up on their draft, and are trying to rebuild a team through waiver wire acquisitions. For the second week in a row, they have replaced their starting QB, and had 5 new additions to the roster for week 2, 3 of whom started. The result was less than stellar, as the newly formed team mustered just over 86 points. Had it not been for an even worse team on the opposing sideline, they would have likely gone down for the second week in a row, but instead they’ve hit .500 for the first (and likely last) time of the season.
The Honey Badger doesn’t care
The Honey Badger(s) improved dramatically from week 1, and were actually in the top half of the league in scoring in week 2. Unfortunately, they ran into the offensive juggernaut of the short season known as Cute Little Puppies. Stacy “Smack down” Cook’s top-ranked team leads the league in scoring, and sports the hottest QB in the league. (Just ask Lauren.) In her post game statement, S. Cook addressed whether or not she was the new favorite to win the CFFFL title by saying: “Obviously...”

Issue 3 - 2011
(WatchBlog McGee is a fictionalized blogger but reports on actual, flesh and bone, real-life fantasy football leagues. This year, he is embedded deep in the CFFFL, and will be periodically blogging on league matters.)
WatchBlog here again. Week 3 is in the books. Let’s get to it.
Hellooo? Anyone home?
The best looking team in the league fell back to earth with a loss this week after an offensive outpouring in week 2 garnered Hottez wit da bodiez their first win. Perhaps Lauren “My Dad made me join this league” Cook was resting on her laurels and that is why she ignored the fact that she has 2 injured WRs and not enough WR backups to field a complete team. Curiously, she also played an under-performing RB (Ryan Grant) when she could have played an over-performing RB (Ryan Matthews.) Perhaps she shouldn’t have players with the same first name if it is causing confusion... As for her opponent, Quail Hunters rebounded from a loss last week and Amanda “My Uncle made me join this league” Cook’s win over the bodiez has helped her retain her first place lead in the 5 Cooks division.
And I thought Easily Offensive had a bad week.
The good news is that The PlowBoys increased their point total almost tenfold from Sunday to Monday night. The bad news is that final point total was still only 41.8 - a season league record low, and not by just a little. (Just to demonstrate how bad that is - Honey Badger’s QB, Eli Manning, put up 33.86 points this week by himself.) WatchBlog is not sure if Norman “I don’t care if they’re good, just make sure they have a star on their helmet” Cook is really focused on trying to score points, or is just fielding a Dallas Cowboys tribute team. If he adds Laurent Robinson this week, I guess we’ll have our answer. The beneficiary of the PlowBoys charity this weekend was Cousin Mose & Me who needed the help after losing a starting WR to injury for the season. Gary “I still have 5 WRs, who needs Kenny Britt?” Cook could not be reached for comment.
Who is this clown anyway?
In the only close game of the weekend the 47ers returned to their losing ways. After the game, the 47ers front office blamed RB, Rashard Mendenhall for the loss. WatchBlog thinks team manager Jerry “Maybe I can’t draft, but at least I make poor starting decisions” Cook should look at himself (Literally. Have you seen that newest perm he’s sporting?) While Mendenhall was bad, J Cook could have actually had 37 more week 3 points just by using his bench more efficiently. Perhaps the 47ers can stop making player roster moves, and try a manager roster move. The Lions have no such problem at the top. The Lions players seemingly love playing for Matt “Disrespect me all you want, I’m still kicking your butt in the standings” Johnson, and always score just enough to win. In the most anticipated matchup of the young season, we will see if that holds up when the Lions face fellow undefeated division foe Cute Little Puppies in week 4. Who doesn’t love a good cat and dog fight?
