Welcome to the Infinite Dena Power League Blog! Were going to go ahead and give this little forum a chance and see if reading the recaps are better over here (and mainly to see if Kirby can get us some ad dollars!) First i have to give a shout out to Pitz for coming up with the name for this blog (if you don't get it take some time and go here). I also need to give a shout out for my player of the week, Anquan Bouldin!!!! I decided to start this segment just because we need to highlight the importance of having such a dynamic weapon for the Ravens at the wide receiver position. Welcome to the Ravens Q, Pitz and I both hope for more weeks like your week 3.
Week 3 was certainly wild, but gotta say where is the drama? Only two match ups were close going into the prime time games! After the Ravens game Stilt, Kirby and I were doing some post game tailgating when we noticed Stilt was in a tight game with Jason only Jason's team was all but done letting Stilt tell us he still had plenty of guys to go and this game was over. Quick rant about how Stilt said it; everytime Stilt goes to a Ravens game he screams his voice away. After 3 hours of yelling "Defense!" Stilt starts to sound alot like Christopher Walkin. So Kirby and I actually got to hear Walkin talking trash about Jason's fantasy football team.
Stilts team was not the only dominating force this week, did you see Kirby's 145 point F You to Titus. Wow. I'll get more into this when we do the individual team breakdowns, cause right now i want to quickly recap how much fun the two prime time games were. With a copy of Fifa on the line and Dan with a 7 point lead all Pitz could do was stare at Jericho Cotchery the entire game. He would stare at Mark Sanchez's eyes hoping they weren't going to Keller or Edwards even though time after time thats where the ball would go. At the end of a sad 2 catch 20 yard performance Dan and Donald Driver sat back, puffed a cigar and enjoyed victory.
While I was watching Sanchez not throw to Cotchery I was watching Chad Henne throw EVERYTHING at Brandon Marshall. Marshall single handily gave me a chance to beat Peach since Ronnie Brown forgot to show up to the game, and left my week 3 fate in the hands of Brandon Jackson and Robbie Gould. The Bears march down the field and set up for a 49 yard field goal, with me being down 16 i figured this is the best way for this game to start. As I watched Gould's kick sail wide right i knew this was an oman of a bad Monday night. I seem to have forgotten that the Packers don't run the ball and therefore I gave Peach and his stupid #1overall pick his first win of the season. Now that I'm still bitter it seems like this would be a perfect time to do a run down of how everyone's week 3 went.
Grundy Grabbers - Alec - Bet you thought you were going to see Dan here right? Alec dropped a 120 point bomb on Lars this week to go to 3-0 and to the top of the leaderboard. All Day Adrian Peterson put up 31 points as he has decided that Brett Farve is awful and he will just win the NFC North by himself if he has too. Hey, remember as we were drafting and Alec gets the #3 pick and Peterson falls to him cause Peach is an idiot? Oh and hey, remember that Alec DIDNT WANT TO TAKE HIM? I may be bringing that up again in later posts. Alec must be happy that fellow Viking Percy Harvin came to play this week, as a contributing Harvin just adds depth to a team thats already featuring a back to normal Tom Brady and some rejuvenated Redskins. This teams starting line up is tough...but did you look at that bench? Spiller had a good game, but keep in mind 6 of the 15 points came on a kick return, other than that this team has more 0's next to their name then a US national team striker. Hope you see Alec on the Vikings bye week.
White Rice - Dan - Wait a minute, he goes to 3-0, wins a copy of Fifa but falls in the standings? Crazy! The Pitz/Dan trash talk was welcome for all of our work weeks and Dan will now be able to run his mouth to Pitz all season (gonna be a long year man!). It's safe to say that when you play Dan CJ2K is going to put up 15-25 points on you, unless he is playing the Steelers, but what you don't always see is Tony Gonzalez dropping a hot spicy 17 on dat ass! Watching the Falcons this year I could have sworn Matt Ryan's wife is being held hostage by some of Roddy Whites boys treating to hurt her if he throws to another receiver. Well after the Saints upset the Ryan family must be safe and Tony G could be a contributing member to this offense again, like say around the goal line? Dan also left a lot of points on his bench between Orton, Thomas Jones, and Jeremy Shockey. This team has depth, expect a run towards the playoffs just like you can expect Dan to be playing a lot of Fifa soon.
Motor Boaters - Stilt - Sure hes 3-0 but hes a normal guy. He puts his pants on one leg at a time, only then he makes gold records! Yes Christopher Stiltkin collects another victory, this time with some pretty uninspired performances. Yes Mendenhall and Ryan had good days, but other than that nothing. This was a good week for Stilt to see Jason. Sometimes you have to win ugly and this win will go along way towards keeping Stilt in the playoff hunt. I just hope he doesn't have to go to Jason's son one day and explain to him about this golden watch the two of them use to keep hidden...
Velour Fog - Titus - Third highest point total this week, and he lost. The undefeateds are now down to 3 as Titus finds himself all alone in 4th. Cant say he had a bad week, just ran into a week 3 juggernaut in Ryan Kirby. The bad news this week did get worse for Titus as we are hearing Ray Rice has a bad contusion in his knee and while they arn't ruling him out for Sunday, but do you really want your franchise back to go against Pittsburgh's cheap shotting asses when he has a knee injury? I see Rice out this Sunday unless there is some sort of miracle. With that being said Jason should not be getting too excited, this team has been winning all season with Ray Rice under-preforming. I would expect some big numbers from Rivers, Forte, and Collie next week.
Nephew w/out the n - Kirby - Haaaaave ya met Kirby? The nephew came out swinging after his week 2 loss to Jason which he still hasn't heard the end of. Maybe this victory will silence the critics. Dwayne Bowe who seemed to be a lost cause this season (especially considering Kirby traded Welker for him) was the lowest scoring position player on Kirby's team. Bowe scored 12.10 points, I think we would all gladly take that. The newly acquired Mike Vick is starting to look like an MVP and if he keeps scoring Kirby 30 points a week he could be the MVP of his team. Now while it wasn't a close game between him and Titus, I think Kirby still throughly enjoyed watching Dustin Keller put up 21 points in the flex spot where it appeared that Kirby meant to start Marion Barber but couldn't (trust me we will touch this later), talk about a lucky break!
Face. - Peach - In my face. Peach gets his first win at the expense of the commish. I really don't want to do this write up but I'm a fair person so here we go...The Jacksonville Jaguars are awful. They have to be the worst team in football right? Cleveland atleast puts up some sort of fight. Watching Maclin and Jackson blow past the cornerback formerly known as Rasheen Mathis was painful (unless your rooting for those two to score 20 points a pop). Peyton Manning scored 24.9 points (.4 more then CJ2K) and joined in with the young recivers in Philly to score about 70% of Peach's points! I still worry about this team in the long run, seeing as how none of the RB's on this team can seem to get going (I'm looking right at you Shonn Greene) and you cant bank on 40 points from wr's every week. Guess Peach has Peyton and will ride him as far as he will go.
Do You Like Apples? - AD - Applesauce bitch! Just as Matt Damon's face shined of pride and fulfillment after he blew away that cocky Harvard snob in the critically acclaimed Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season movie, AD has to be basking in the glow of the winless monkey being off his back. He gets a 19 point win this week and didn't even have to worry about Aaron Rodgers on MNF. That is relaxing (all you can eat wings and OctoberFest on tap doesn't hurt either). MJD was nowhere to be found again this week (see my rant about the stupid Jags above) but Jamaal Charles decided to step up like a man and be the back AD so wants him to be. Wait what? He has a bye next week? Ah well start Donald Brown agaisnt the Jags next week, he'll score 45 points. Wait what? He goes against Peach next week? Peyton plays the Jags??? Arnt the Jags awful? In case nobody is noticing I have Jacksonville and Peach a lot right now. Good look keeping the winning streak alive AD.
Gunners Treble - Lars - Shhh. Do you hear that? Listen. Thats the sound of Larry Fitzgerld banging his head against the table in the film room while watching Derek Anderson unable to get him the ball. Lars came out in week one with a victory over Jason, but since then he lost a 2 point game to Stilt and then saw a reved up Grundy Grabber this week. Lars will be going agaisnt the lone winless team in the league next week and there is more good news! Lars has Joesph Addai, and he plays for the Colts, the Colts play the Jags and the Jags fucking suck! Side bar: Jermichael Finley has been solid at the tight end position, and the Burner Turner appears to be back and running hard.
The Heaphopapotamus - Death - First off let me start out by saying if I could go to Jacksonville and burn down a Peach tree I would go do that RIGHT NOW! On Sunday I had to watch the updates on my phone since I had to work the Ravens game I kept noticing how Jahvid Best only had 3.9 yards and wasn't getting any more. Kicking myself I wondered what I was thinking letting him play with no offensive line going agaisnt the Vikings D. Post Ravens game I met up with Kirby, Jen and some others at Jaynes Joyce (spelling? whatever) where at the bar one game had Eagles Jags, the other Skins Rams. Now as I saw on the drive to Joyce Stephan Jackson was battling the 3 headed monster Peach had going in Peyton, Maclin, and Jackson. I watched as Vick tossed bomb after bomb downfield as Jacksonvilles defense ran around like a Benny Hill episode only to turn to the other tv where Steven Jackson is watching some fucking rookie run all over the dumb dumb skins!!! Finally i learn late that night that between my two starting runningbacks i got about 2 quarters of football. I scored almost 94 points despite this, and lost by 4. I fucking hate Jacksonville.
LawrenceDayandtheTynes - Pitz - This is an example of how someone can be unlucky but still get lucky. I sent out the email already, but I'll tell the story again. I get a text from Pitz at 9am with him telling me he had hooked up with a girl that night and was in the process of doing so again. He was asking me to make sure his trade with Kirby and Dan had gone through. It had not, and Mike Wallace sat on Kirby's bench while Jericho Cotchery failed to break any walls down with his play. Had Mike Wallace played Pitz would have beaten Dan and caused a major shake up in the league. Hey at least you got laid, thats more then a lot of fantasy football players could say. The Pitz clause is now in effect and trades will be hurried, but let us never forget the day when Yahoo cheated for Dan.
ProtectYourNeck - Jason - Ah this is more like it. Last night during Monday Night Football Jason texted me with "what is my Yahoo login name?" I told him I dont know and he got mad at me because I made it for him. Let me recap that, he got mad at me because i dont know how to log into his team that i had to make for him on the day of the draft. Well atleast he was looking on Sunday and not Friday now, he's getting better. He is going to need to get alot better quickly though if he is thinking about competeing this week. Here are a few numbers from his team:
Marques Colston - 2.50
Derek Mason - 3.00
Le'Ron McClain - 2.20
Darren Sproles - 0.60
That is almost half of his starting line up, oh and he beat Kirby who has more points then anyone else in the League.
Houshyourdaddy - Will - Well Will, everyone is yours. Will remains the only team with out a win so far, but he does have a few favorable matchups coming up this week as he takes on Lars. I don't like the depth of this team, and he hasn't been getting help from skill position players. This team leans on Aaron Rodgers hard and on his bye week I dont know what Will is going to do. A good idea might be for him to start praying to the Fantasy Gods for forgiveness. He did quickly come up with a name this week to try to get onto their good graces, but i think they were upset that the Houshyour(insert mom or dad here) had been done before and thus decided to smite him one more week. Here's hoping for Will to climb out of the basement.
All I got this week. Let me know what you guys think of the blog. Comments can be left at the bottom. Looking forward to week 4!
