Week 2 finds 2 undefeated and 2 winless teams. Although the waiver wire has cooled down a bit it is still pretty active. There were 2 pick-ups (Dede Westbrook and Case Keenum) during the waiver period, depending on when the 72 hour period starts. I usually go by when they officially are released, not when the team posts a bulletin board transaction. I let one go (which I noticed) because the release was announced a few days before. I missed the other one totally. That being said a player can be picked up during the waiver period (that is basically someone claiming them off waivers). Now if you wanted someone that just got released and someone above you in the standing beats you to the keyboard, just post your claim on the board. I will reverse the transaction and award the player to the team with the lowest standing that makes a claim.

  The old web (http://swffl.50megs.com) has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive. Send any ideas to me and I will see what I can do.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Bishops of Battle will meet the defending Champion Dream Team in a battle of 2-1 teams. The Roxborough Wranglers and Good Fellas will meet in a battle of teams trying to get back to .500.The Fightin' Irish will try to notch that first "W" this week against the Jelly Beans. In what could possibly be the Game of the week, the Body Shop and Money Takers meet in a battle of undefeated teams playing for the top spot. The Black & Blue Attack will try to get in the win column against the Young Gunz this week.

  Spock was 3 of 5 last week, He retains top billing. Norm (my estimates) was 3 of 5 last week as well. His lines (my estimates) appear below:

  Monday might was just chock full of Monday night madness as every team that was trailing after Sunday had something going on Monday. Granted, most did not have a realistic chance, but it is much better than no chance.

  The Bishops of Battle had carried a 55.2 point lead in to Monday night against the Jelly Beans and AB. Now AB can do some amazing things, but 55.2 points was too tall a task. The Bishops were led by Matty Ice, Gurley, Fuller and Lockett as they notched their first helmet of the year. The Beans were led by Brees who almost matched Ryan point for point, but Brees supporting cast weas not so lucky. The Beans left some points on the bench but not enough to make a difference.

  The defending champion Dream Team and Boswell held a 75.1 point lead going into Monday against the Good Fellas and Conner. Fortunately for The Dream Team, they did not get much help from Boswell who seemed to have an attraction to the right upright on the goalpost last night. The Dream Team was led by a gimpy Rodgers, Sanders and Woods as they moved to 2-1. The Fellas had no 20 point starters, and very limited help on the bench.

  The Body Shop and a45.5 point lead proved to be too much for the Fightin' Irish and Big Ben on Monday night, although Ben was warning track short of handing the Shop their first loss. The Shop was led by Mahomes and Landry in their win. Big Ben led the Irish as they still search for their fist "W".

  The Money Takers, JuJu and a 57.2 point lead proved to be too much for the Young Gunz and FitzMagic on Monday night. Fitz cut the lead a bit but not enough. The Takers were led by Newton, Kamara, JuJu and Thomas as they kept the top spot and remain undefeated. The Gunz were led by Fitz, Barkley and Thielen in the loss.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Roxborough Wranglers and Black & Blue Attack. The Attack's 20.1 point lead going into Monday failed to hold up against the Wranglers and Evans. Evansand McCaffrey led the Wranglers to their first win of the year. Watson was the only 20 point scorer fielded by the Black & Blue Attack. When you lose by less than 6 points, chances are there were some options on the bench that may have changed the outcome. Turns out there were 3 bullets on the Attack Bench that would have tipped the battle into their favor and given the Attack their first "W" instead of the Wranglers. Alas, hindsight is 20-20.
