Tequila Worms (formerly Beaver Patrol) 142, Ivy Leaguers 127
Beaver management finally made due on its threat to move the team to Mexico, and the big move south may have been just the spark the team needed, as they overcame a week one loss to even up at 1-1. The Worms boasted balanced play at virtually all positions, though Vanderjagt's two 40+ yard FGs (in addition to two shorter FGs) gave the Worms unexpected points at a traditionally low scoring position. The Ivy Leaguers (0-2) continue to be plagued by subpar running backs, though this week an ENTIRE team elected to contibute to the downfall, as the Eagles defense (and I use the word "defense" loosely) actually ended up robbing the Leaguers of two points with their dismal performance. As the season progresses, the Leaguers can only hope that a strong receiving corp compensates for these weak running backs.
Hoosier Daddies 196, Dirty Dawgs 143
If the Leaguers are to learn a lesson in riding receivers' backs to victory, surely it is to be learned from the Daddies (2-0). Bolstered by 9 receptions and well over 100 yards apiece from Hines Ward and Rod Gardner (leaving Terrel Owens to be the #3 receiver on this team) the Daddies were able to coast to victory. While the Dawgs (1-1) saw their own receiving stud Amani Toomer match the receivers of the Daddies, his effort alone was not enough on this fateful September morn.
Midgets on Swole 186, Buncha Bums 159
The Bums lived up to their name this weekend, falling to 0-2, though they have much to look forward to with a team defense that actually doesn't score in the negatives, unlike a certain other team defense mentioned earlier. The Bums rode Ricky Williams as far as they could, but came out on the short end of a shootout due largely to the Midgets' (2-0) stellar play of WR Darrell Jackson, who, despite catching only three balls, had two of those catches go for TDs and two of those catches for 40+ yard gains.
Mutha Scrathaz 180, Bad Bunnies 155
The Scrathaz, much like Ravens, rode one Jamal Lewis all the way to the bank....the MONEY bank. Other notable performances for the 1-1 Scrathaz included an exceptional defensive showing by the New England Patriots (not to be confused with the New England Ivy Leaguers, who simply suck). The Bunnies (0-2) simply picked the wrong week to tangle with the Scrathaz, and despite the game of a lifetime by Laverneus Coles (11 receptions for 180 yards), simply ran into the GAME of a lifetime by the aformentioned Lewis.
Fury 174, Yung Wuns 80
Ladanian Tomlinson continues to be the only real bright spot for the Yung Wuns (0-2) and the Fury have to be left wondering if the high scoring tandom of Joe Horn and Derrick Mason at wideout, with their 10 catches apiece, wasted a solid performance when one was not really needed. The Fury (2-0), of course, are not above running up the score, and perhaps the general ignorance of the ownership has them believing that the winner of the league is determined by a poll and that said poll is influenced by running up a score a la college football. Neither case is true, and the Fury would be wise to show some modicum of decorum and sportsmanship as the season progresses.
Fury Whip 204, Tuefel Hundes 75
In the Radioshack and Sunkist "Blowout of the Week", the Fury Whip (2-0) ran ramshot over the Hundes (1-1) with strong play all around. Notable performances for the Fury Whip included a 300+ yard effort by Tommy Maddox, a three touchdown performance by Priest Holmes and two wideouts over 100 yards. The highlights for the Tuefel Hundes included NOT having a defense that scored negative points, unlike some other defenses out there that were supposed to not only score points but lots of them and instead score not just zero points but negative points.
