Week 2

WatchBlog here.  One game is final, but 2 more are decided.  Could have a league full of .500 teams.  Won't know for sure until after Monday Night's action ends.  Let's get to it.

Curse of the Badger

Due to a statistical error in week 1, Easily Offensive's point total was 1 less than it should have been.  They actually benefited from that error when the waiver order was set by moving up 2 places from where they should have been.  In the first 2 weeks, this news is about the only positive manager David "Participant" Cook can point to. Highly favored in week 2 against Honey Badger, the aptly named Offensives couldn't even muster 70 points, and for the second year in a row, will lose in an upset to the Badgers. Andrew "So they play games on Thursdays now?" Cook, who didn't even bother to replace the inactive WR Greg Jennings for his game on Thursday, has already put up 81 points with 2 players yet to hit the field.  Absent each remaining Badger player committing 6 fumbles while gaining no yards, we can officially declare this game DOA.  For the Offensives, consider it a mercy killing.

2 in the Bush

RB Reggie Bush made a huge impact in his NFL game on Sunday, and simultaneously on two CFFFL teams.  Single handedly Bush's absence from Cindy "This year hasn't been nearly as fun as last year" Cook's roster decided the outcome of the sole matchup of Undefeateds in week 2.  The beneficiary of his absence was the sole 2-0 CFFFL team (pending ongoing games,) the newbie Sugar Gliders. The Sugar Gliders are the new Cute Little Puppies, with equal parts "I don't care," "I just want a cute name," and "I'm gonna love rubbing this in." On the losing side, the Left Fielders were looking to shake up their roster after a lackluster win in week 1, and the shake landed Bush on the bench just in time for a career caliber performance.  There's almost no chance Bush will put up those kind of numbers again this year, and so the effort was a truly wasted one.  Said Cindy of the week 2 result:  "Aaaarrggghhh!!!!"  Aaaarrggghhh, indeed.

This Game just got real

Two teams settled in to expectations during week 2 after a surprising week 1.  The Gamers, who weren't expected to do well, shocked the world with a 1-0 start.  The Hottez wit da bodiez, on the other hand, didn't shock anyone, but fell to 0-1 even though possessing a rather salty roster.  Lauren "I answer to no man, especially not before 8" Cook was vastly improved in starting decisions in week 2, and will likely end up with the highest point total for the week in the win over The Gamers.  The best thing that could be said about The Gamers' week was that at least they didn't start 1st round pick Jay Cutler.  Durlon "If the season was 2 weeks long, I'd be in the playoffs!" Bryant has to be regretting that #1 pick now, right?  Well, if he isn't, he should just keep reading WatchBlog, cause it's likely to be an ongoing theme...
