Fantasy Recap Week 2: Lovin' You Sunday Morning

Has it been two weeks already?

Five games... three wins, my friends! That beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, tellyouwhat! No really. I've done both. Notching three wins? Much better than the eye poke. Friendly tip: you pretty much just want to avoid the eye poke altogether, really. It's pretty safe to say that most anything is superior to the eye poke, so my advice? Forego the poke, and make the comparisons with confidence.

In my NFL.COM league? A much, much needed win! Sorry Joe... maybe it's karma for losing to you in the other league last week? Just stupid luck? Naaaaahhhhhh... it's gotta' be karma.

Once again, Joe and I battle it out mid-division while Nancy lords over her division. This was a win I needed in a bad way... I won't turn my nose up at a few more, though, truth be told.

In a solo league? Big, big loss! Way to go 0-2, Chris! Wahooooo!

Yup. Seventh... and battling it out with Joe for slightly-less mediocre. Nancy, meanwhile, is in third, and undefeated!

I have to point out that this game was a rematch of my Championship match-up with Shane from last year. That game, you'll recall, I wound up losing by one point. No, actually, I'm not over it yet... thanks. Anyway, it felt pretty damn good getting the "W" this time... and it didn't escape my notice that the margin was once again as narrow as could be. Again, karmically cool, you axe me.

Finally, the office Yahoo! league. Oh, joy. I'm 0-2 here too.

Tony's #1! Howsabout that? My point total is pretty solid... I just need the wins.

This was/is a league I had/have high hopes for, on accounta' that first overall draft pick I got? Ladanian Tomlinson? Yeah... he's a bust so far. I may trade him for a kicker... I hear the Falcons picked up 80-year old Morton Anderson... maybe he's available.

Finally, I have to point out that Nancy is 2-0 in both of her leagues! Pretty friggin' impressive.

Is it Sunday yet?
