It is week 2 and the cream rising to the top and the other stuff is sinking fast. I mailed the notes out to everybody who I was mailing them out to last year. If you can get the info you need through the web site or e-mail let me know and I'll take you off the snail mail list. If you still want to get notes 20^th century style, send me enough self-addressed stamped envelopes to last the year or at least the stamps. Every week there is at least one team on the "BYE", so make sure you check your schedules.

    The Jelly Beans lost the first week's helmet to the Quiet Storm. This week they got a little revenge as they nabbed the helmet and handed the Storm their firs "L" of the year. The Beans (or are we back to the "Almighty" Beans) have 2 successive 65 point games and have a hold on first place. The Storm put up 53 and lost, that is tough but hardly unprecedented. The Beans were led by an MVP performance by Jimmy Smith(291 yds and 3 9-pt TDS). The Storm got double-digit scoring out of 4 positions, but couldn't overcome the career game by Smith.

    The Black Revenge stayed undefeated against the winlees defending Champion Dream Team. The Revenge got double-digit scoring from 5 players including a whopping 17 from the BUC's defense. The Dream Team is still looking for their 1st RB points despite having the lead's top scoring RB on the bench. Methinks he will not remain on the bench this week.

    The Bull Dogs defeated the Money Takers, with C-Mart still in reserve. The Bull Dogs moved up to a 500 record and this year they are scoring points a reasonable pace. The Takers are scoring points at the rate the Bull Dogs set last year but are not getting the wins. They will either have to start putting up more points or try and hire the Dogs defensive coordinator from last year. I hear he is looking for a job. OK, the all rookie thing does not work, perhaps a blend of rooks and vets.

    The Hammer Heads defeated the Sharks and still had Glenn in reserve. The Sharks, who are starting to sound more and more like "Toast" were led by Warner and Muhammed. By the way, can somebody explain how a QB tosses for 386 yards and only manages 1 short TD. The Heads got fine performances from Manning and Hollis, and that was enough this week.

    The "Game of the Week" honors go to the 1^st semi-annual "Attack" bowl. The Black and Blue Attack and a 9 pt lead were too much for the Mac Attack and Bledsoe. Curiously the Mac's benched Cris Carter (probably because the Vikings threw the ball 3 times in week 1). Week 2 was a tad different. A Carter start would have had us tied going into Monday night, and maybe finally a chance to use the tiebreaker rule that has not been used once since we installed it. Of course Norm says that means it is working. The Black & Blue were led by the legs of Gannon. That Davis/Taylor and their backups seemed like a great strategy on paper, somehow it has not worked out that way. The Mac Attack was led by Rod Smith in the loss and had a lot of bench points. Always play Monday Night Kickers!!

Dream Team (Norm): "Scored some points but not enough, but if history repeats itself, us losing to the Black Revenge equals championships."
