Rambling after Week 2...

Week 3 is approaching and the surprise teams, both good and bad, are emerging.

Starting with the Packers.  Brettski has started 2-0 and surprised me by beating the Eagles and Giants.  Then again, the Eagles and Giants are a combined 0-4.

Same in the BIG - Suomala and Jonny are struggling to start out while Kinger is blowing away the competition.....by a HUGE margin.  Not unlike Reagan in '84.

Stupid random fact of the day.....hippos produce upwards of 100 pounds a crap each day.  Second only in the animal kingdom to Tony Siragusa.....(surprised you didn't know that).

We have a 1-1 logjam in the Bulldog Division with all the guys having high points for and against.

Random fact #2....Ulysses S Grant's '68 campaign slogan was, "Vote as you shot".  I just don't think that would get the job done today -- at least not for Hillary.

How good is Kinger's team so far?  I'm pretty sure his bench would have beat over half the league's starters this past week.  Can the Vikings D keep up their pace?  With KC next up on the schedule - I'm guessing that they will, for at least another week.

And how about Randy Moss.  How long can he keep his hot streak going?  As long as Brady keeps him in line - barring injury of course - Randy will be voted to another BIGFFBL all-pro squad.

Random fact #3.....The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C.  (I guess that would work if you rub her all over in that first)

I'm thinking Adrian Peterson is going to be better than Robert Smith.....too bad he doesn't have a quarterback to help him out a little.

Whatever Romeo said to the Brownies on Sunday needs to be bottled and sold.  I don't know if it was lightning, magic or jumping beans he threw at them, but it worked.  My fantasy team might have to bank on Jamal Lewis looking like that the rest of the year. (a sure sign that he won't do a damn thing from now on).

Facto quatro - Diet Coke was only invented in 1982.  (so what did all those large office workers drink with their triple meat pizza slice lunches before that?)

With 8 100+ weeks and 1345 total points, week 2 of the 2007 season was the highest scoring week ever for the BIGFFBL eclipsing 1322 from week 13 of 2004.  Impressive - but pretty much thanks to the Cinci Cleveland basketball game.

Upcoming in week 3 - a Kinger/Juice matchup that should score somewhere up near 300 if Ladainian decides to show up for this year.  A Smitty/Mike pairing that won't be too far behind - depending on if Smith picks the correct WR to start.  Jason and his star Chadwick face up Jugs and the most targeted WR2  in our league, Chris Chambers.  The LB's get a chance to beat up on Silverman....I mean Jonny.  Scottie and Suomala face off in this week's matchup of the dads while JC will probably lose again to complete the annual brother sweep by Ben and Jon.

Final Fact #5 - Canadian researchers have found that Einstein's brain was 15% wider than normal.  (see - Barry isn't necessarily a bonehead - he might be a rocket scientist)

Go Rails....3-0 and ranked (artificially high as it may be) #3 in state.  Hope they prove me wrong and get big Dave his 200th down in the Dome.

Battery power is running low - means time to sign it off......ok ok, with one more stupid random fact (hey, they're on the internet so they must be true)

Final final fact.......Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down -- hence the expression "to get fired"  (Juice - you know what I'm thinking.....)

Need I say more?
