Fantasy football!

Another week, another tough loss for Monkey Knife Fight, this time 161 - 139 to the EighteenGrands. Now in this league, 130 points is a really good score. Though it should be good enough for a win, MKF has found themselves on the losing end two consecutive weeks with such a score. We now find ourselves at 1 - 2, entering into the dreaded byes. It's early in the season, too early to call any week a "must win"...but this coming week vs. the first place Sunrise Stingers is a must win. With week 6 looming as a likely loss, with half the blade wielding chimps taking the week off, a run of wins is necessary to keep our play-off hopes alive.

Meanwhile, the Rodents are delighted. Seemingly putting it all together, Rodent Passion took league scoring honors for the week with its 130 - 68 victory over Gametime Decision. A strong performance by QB Philip Rivers complimented the continued stellar performance of our mighty receiving corps, which over-came the loss of Andre Johnson through the sensational play of Roy Williams, Anquan Boldin, and Deion Branch. In a daring pre-season move, RP traded perennial fantasy football standout Rudi Johnson for promising young runner DeAngelo Williams and the aforementioned Branch. Key to that deal, at the time, was the hope we have that Williams will develop into a stud in the NFL. In the short term, the play of Mr. Branch has been a key to consecutive wins. An important intra-divisional match-up awaits this weekend with Corporeal Punishment. At the moment, RP finds itself alone in first place in the Beatles Division of the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Football League. With Corporeal Punishment alone in the division in second at 2 - 1, a victory would give RP a daunting 2 game advantage, and would make them the clear front-runners for that all-important first-round bye in the play-offs.
