Week 2 Recap!



I'm happy to be back posting these.  I was having withdrawals of writing.  I was thinking, as I sat there and browsed over the ESPN app on my phone, jeez everyone is going to do amazingly.  Lo and behold, about 45 minutes into the first game the score between me and Val had a total of 22 points.  This week was insane, everyone expected to perform big, definitely fell short.  The Vikings showed that they are still just the same team that can't make a playoff run without Favre, the 49ers let Brandon Marshall catch anything he wanted, and the Saints showed that they really believe in the Browns.  Anyway, despite my dislike for my division (I love you guys, but hate your teams), Alex and Yaro are both doing well, meanwhile Val only scored like 50 points.  But there are excuses.

Week 2 was a pretty bad week, I think it'll probably go down as this season's Sunday, Bloody Sunday.  Injuries injuries galore.  For example, a list (not my own):

So clearly a lot of players are made out of glass.  Coincidence that this happens right before HGH testing?  I think so.


No onto what everyone actually cares about!
