2 Weeks and It's Gone to Shit


Sorry for the delay in posting the blog. Eagles Monday night gets way too rowdy. Also a lot of great fantasy games this week.

***** ALERT ***** PLEASE VOTE FOR WGF *****

I highly encourage all of you to vote for We Global Football in the Football Blogging Awards.  Just type "We Global Football" in the Best International Blog section and vote. If we get nominated, Matt and I are likely headed to Manchester, England for the awards at Old Trafford. It's actually mandatory before you read on.

Wow that was an unreal week 2. Nobody took it harder than A.B. Tatz. Lost Woodhead for the season, lost Arian Foster to a groin injury, and lost by 1 point after getting nothing from either back. Just brutal. But that's the name of the game now. Guys get injured absolutely all the time. Peterson tore his meniscus. Ameer Abdullah went down with a foot injury. Doug Martin hurt his vag. It's not right.

But this shit happens every year. Guys drop like flies and you're left starting Kapri Bibbs and watching an inferior product. Hopefully this rate doesn't continue because it sucks. Two more QBs also went down.

I almost had my beef of the week w Scott Hansen this week, but he narrowly escaped. I really think he doesn't understand how scoring works. Dolphins down 8 w a Hail Mary, and it's "Tannehill with one shot to see if the Dolphins can beat the Patriots for the first time in..." Are TDs now worth 9 points? Guy tries to add unnecessary drama and facts that are just made up. I don't get it at all. Year after year, this guy with arguably the most important job in football television just does not understand how these things work.

His highlight this week, however, emerged w a garbage time TD from . His comment after the TD? "If you had cxxxxxxx on your fantasy team, I feel sorry for your drafting skills". Are you kidding? So if you're cuffing in the club, and you actually picked the guy who scores TDs, you're terrible at drafting and ripe for insults? That doesn't add up at all. But he just doesn't understand.

I know that it was already 120 hours ago, but Bills Mafia is BACK! 24 hours before game time, the RV lot was already sold out as people excreted all kinds of bodily fluids in preparation. Here are some highlights ahead of another great season.










Also congratulations are in order for new papa Matthew James Atallian on future gnome Jackson Henry. And a special thank you to Katie for holding out. Poor Tatz had me pick his players and now they're all hurt.


Beef of the Week: TJ Ward

This blog has been mostly about brutality. And nobody is a bigger asshole than TJ Ward. It is absolutely remarkable that this guy is still allowed to play in the league after all of the guy's he's intentionally injured. This week, it was Geno 911's Donte Moncrief taking a brutal hit and knocking him out for a couple weeks. Here's a brief history of TJ Ward's cheap shots:

And finally, his shot on Moncrief:


This guy is such a piece of shit. He's targeted guys, been fined, suspended, beat a stripper. It's an absolute joke that he's allowed to keep playing in the league when they're supposedly focused on player safety.


Power Rankings

14. Geno 911 (0-2) - Last week: 5. This feels right. I can't believe some of the players that are in your lineup. Wow.

13. Bo$$town Cutter (1-1) - Last week: 12. Squeaked out a 1 point win v Tatz which was huge. You do have Brady and Bell sitting on the bench which could pay dividends. But not much to write home about thus far.

12. Team Bartholomew (0-2) - Last week: 4. This is mostly due to injury. Losing Woodhead, Foster, Ertz, Ivory thus far is really rough. Hopefully Foster and Ertz are back soon.

11. Pork Chop Express (0-2) - Last week: 13. #1 WR and #1 TE through two weeks and you're 11th in the standings. Tells you a lot about the rest of your team.

10. The Old Ball Sack (0-2) - Last week: 14. Encouraging performance, but rough loss to Dosh. Have about 2 weeks til Travis Benjamin goes out for the year.

9. Harambe Was Set Up (1-1) - Last week: 10. Rookies aren't looking too bad. But virtually nothing yet from your top picks. Could potentially round into form soon.




8. Tequila Party Gnones (0-2) - Last week: 9. Couldn't hold off Stanky Monkeys in one you deserved. Jamaal C has to be ready soon. Fucking Andy.

7. Tweeting in the Trenches (1-0-1) - Last week: 11. The #1, 3 and 4 RBs? That's wild. I think your team looks pretty decent, but with DeAngelo almost done his run, let's see if you keep it up. Trending up for sure.

6. The King's Crusaders (2-0) - Last week: 3. Still not sure about this team. Will most likely settle somewhere in the middle of the pack, but a couple gems still on the bench.

5. Dueling Pylons (2-0) - Last week: 6. Corey Coleman is a stud, but needs someone to throw him the ball. Big 2 can pop off any week. Bills and Browns, baby!

4. Team BG (1-1) - Last week: 7. Very thin at RB with J-Stew going down. But Josh Gordon is due back soon and the rest of the squad is shaping up nicely. Eagles D is a steal.

3. ROLL THE DICE (2-0) - Last week: 8. I'm a believer. Kelvin Benjamin is tearing shit up. And if Russell Wilson gets it together, this team will be much better. Matt Forte will soon be hurt.

2. Stanky Monkeys (2-0) - Last week: 2. Only criticism would be 2 RBs on the roster total that are playing football right now. That could turn south quick, but very solid top to bottom.

1. A Lot O'Tatz (1-0-1) - Last week: 1. "FUSCO IS SO LUCKY". Yeaaa that's what he does. Had a pretty rough week, but still looking good to me. I'd expect things to improve sooner than later. Still my choice.


Week 3 Matchups
Pylons v. TPG
Harambe v. GamGeno
EEB v. D-Sheetz
Foosco v. Sarcone
Tatz v. BG
