Week 3 in our league

About this time in the season, we start to separate the men from the boys ( and girl, sorry ). This was a very interesting week with a few teams having some impressive scores. This week's transactions had the Big Uglies waiving Bulger and Ricky Williams and picking up Eli Manning and Warrick Dunn, Iron Man picking up qb Trent Edwards and wr Desean Jackson, VY, let it fly acquiring te Bo Scaife, qb Kyle Orton, waiving te Shockey, and Dragonriders picking up wr Antonio Bryant. Another score change this week with Gridiron Gal getting 7 pts added to their week 1 game( Cutler was later credited with 300 yds instead of 299). The top scorer of the week was the Belugas qb Drew Brees with 52 pts. Lastly, I wonder what the Big Uglies did to deserve such a fate. On to the score and highlights.

VY, let it fly 251
Indonesian Apostles 169

The IA's need more converts and are requesting plenty of prayer. Last year's champs start the season 0-3. VY keeps rolling and looks to have a solid team. The IA's were led by Sea off with 47 pts while Michael ( the burner) Turner led their squad with 45.

Dragonriders 131
Bam's Punishers 113

The Dragonriders still won even without playing Ronnie Brown ( 67 Pts). More of a defensive effort than the last game. The Jags offense led the Riders with 27 pts. Not much going on for Joe Behm's team with McNabb scoring 20 in the loss.

Gridiron Gal 193
The Big Uglies 192

Send your condolences in care of the Big Uglies please. For the 2nd straight week, they lose by one point. Gore and T. J who's your mama scored 46 each with Maurice Jones-Drew scoring 43 in a losing effort.

Orange Crush 210
Pats' Pride 161

The O. C. is playing well after the disaster of losing Brady for the year. B. Marshall scored 47 in the win with Cory's team being led by S.D. offense also scoring 47 in their first loss of the year.

Gruesome Goroos 128
Iron Man 107

I was pretty lucky this week with Walter's team having an off week. Marion Barber III led the goroos with 44 pts while Philip Rivers scored 38 for Iron Man.

Zach's team 204
Belugas 151

Zach had a breakthrough week with Roddy White scoring 40 points. The Belugas had another tough week with Brees (52 pts) being one of the few bright spots.

Week 2 in our league

How's everyone doing this week? Good, good. Quite interesting in our league this week with some blowouts, close games, and one extremely close game that required checking the score a few times extra. One thing before I get into this week's transactions, Bob alerted me to the fact that I missed a 7 point bonus on an over 50 yd td last week so his correct score was 168. If anyone has any questions on their score, let me know at 441-3340. Now on to the transactions. VY, let it fly picked up rookie rb Chris Johnson of the Titans, Gruesome Goroos pickup rookie rb Johnathan Stewart of Car, Bam's Punishers waived Nate Burleson who is on IR and picked up Devery Henderson wr, Saints, Indonesian Apostles pick up wr Santana Moss, and the Belugas pick up rb Darren Sproles. Player of the week was Philip ( Free Flowing) Rivers with 69 pts. Now on to the scores.

Iron Man 205
Indonesian Apostles 177

The qb's took charge of this game early and often with Rivers leading Walter's team with 69 pts while Don was led by Aaron Rodgers with 51 pts.

Dragonriders 201
Zach's team 88

Anquan Boldin led the riders with 59 pts and Zach was led by P. Manning with 37 pts.

VY, let it fly 206
Gridiron Gal 188

Tony Romo took charge for VY with 56 pts and Laurie's team played them pretty close with Cutler scoring 59.

Pat's Pride 183
Bam's Punishers 147

I know there will be plenty of trash talking after this one. Cory's team was led by A. Peterson with 53 pts while Joe B was led by Ariz off with 41 pts.

Gruesome Goroos 178
The Big Uglies 177

I checked and rechecked this one. The Goroos were led by Westbrook with 40 pts while Joe P was led by Calvin Johnson with 43 pts.

Orange Crush 184
Belugas 126

Brandon Marshall didn't look too rusty after not playing last week with 62 pts and Bob's team were led by GB's off with 46 pts.

Week 1 of the 2008 FHLOG League

It's a new season for everyone and week 1 proved to change how some of us feel about our chances this year. All I can say is Dan got his wish ( remember how he hoped Brady would break his leg even though he drafted him). Everyone who drafted N.E. players are wondering how this affects them. It really is too bad for fans as well as the whole NFL with Brady going down. This week there ended up being almost all blowouts in our league. This week's transactions included the O.C. picking up Matt Cassell, Reggie Bush, wr Eddie Royal, waiving qb Tom Brady, the Dragonriders picking up qb Matt Ryan, and Bam's Punishers picking up wr Hines Ward and rb Felix Jones. Top performer of the week was Michael ( I wish I got him before Frank) Turner with a whopping 78 Pts. Now on to the highlights and scores.

The Dragonriders 161
Indonesian Apostles 129

Randy ( Where's Tom?) Moss led the Dragonriders with 34 pts while the IA's were led by Brandon Jacobs with 30 pts in a much anticipated matchup of last year's championship game.

Pats' Pride 180
Gridiron Gal 142

Cory looks pretty smart now with that Matt Forte pick ( 47 pts). The GG's were led by Cutler and Gore with 34 pts each.

Gruesome Goroos 197
The Belugas 161

The Goroos were led by Marion Barber with 34 pts while Bob scared me with Drew Brees ( 58 pts).

Iron Man 227
Orange Crush 140

What a difference a week makes. To be honest Walter, I thought you might have one of the weaker teams when we drafted. The NFL is hard to predict. Dan , I feel for you ( at least the Broncos smoked the Raiders). Willie Parker led Iron Man with 51 pts ( he had 3 tds on Sunday, 2 tds all last year) . Dallas' offense scored 38 for the O.C.

VY, let it fly 216
Zach's team 101

VY, where are you? You're not supposed to fly the coop! Frank almost won with just Turner ( 78 pts) while Zach's team was led by Phily's defense with 30 pts.

Bam's Punishers 184
The Big Uglies 118

Let the trash talking begin ( if anyone hasn't seen the Punishers' post yet, check it out). The kid wins one game and already he's the best thing since sliced bread. Hey Don, do you remember Jeremy ( America's Most Wanted) , I think he's back. It sounds like him at least. Players of the game were McNabb (60 pts) for the Punishers and C. Johnson and Saints Offense with 29 apiece for the Big Uglies.

I will hopefully talk to Bob and Zach either tonight or tomorrow night. I know for sure that Bob is in but I'm not sure on Zach. If Zach doesn't call me back by kickoff of the giants/redskins game on thursday, than Mark's cousin Brian will take over the team ( I already have his picks). This ensures that we have 12 teams.

I'll let everyone know as soon as their team's are drafted so then others can pick up additional bench spots.
