Week 1

Jedi Knights (119.00) vs Dirty Birds (83.00)
What an inglorious way for the Birds to start off the season. With inspirational leader Michael Vick facing jail time, the Ewing Theory was nowhere in effect as QBs Vince Young and Brett Favre combined for a mere 15 points. While the receiving corps performed admirably -- Torry Holt (17), TJ Houshmandzadeh (15.5), Anquan Boldin (11) -- the rest of the team flopped. The Jedi Knights had a rough off-season but came out with an emotional win behind Tom Brady's easy breazy cover girl 26 points and new favorite target Andre Johnson (21.5). The Knights may also have made the find of the year with rookie RB Adrian Peterson, who tallied an impressive 22.5 points and is suddenly looking at a full time starting job.

Razor Ramons (142.50) vs Brown Stars (72.00)
Hey Ryan, somebody forgot the "R" at the end of Razor. Or did you just leave it out to be cool? After nearly doubling up the moribund Brown Stars, the Ramons probably don't have too much to worry about. Especially since they were up early Sunday morning already picking up FAs. What this means is that Ryan is dedicated to another powerful regular season. The new passing attack of Ben Roethlisberger to Randy Moss could result in many victories while old-time Razor favorite Edgerrin James finally showed some signs of life with 18 points. Combine the former Indy back with the current Indy back (J.Addai, 20.5 points) and the Razors are looking sharp already.

Galvez on the other hand, didn't have any player crack the twenty point mark. Except, well, Plaxico Burress, who had the game of his life (36 pts) from the bench. How'd his replacement Vincent Jackson do? Well, 3.5 points. Ouch. The good news is that Galvizi is clearly a San Diegan now as Charger hype has clearly dulled his football senses.

Nacho Libre's (116.00) vs babysrus (104.50)
Has fatherhood affected Gene's game? Well, it's hard to tell when you're playing the ultimate predictable but unpredictable bachelor, Mr Pan. The aptly named babysrus certainly gave birth to plenty of receiver fireworks -- Terrell Owens and Reggie Wayne (36 pts combined) -- but it looks like there's no father figure in the backfield. Donovan McNabb and Alex Smith took a dump and score 18 points total. That's eleven less than the Nacho's Eli Manning, who got injured, but caught enough fire to put up 29 points. Add in the intimidating San Diego passing connection of LaDainian Tomlinson to Antonio Gates (41 pts combined) and Hong looks like he might have a contender this year.

Old English (150.00) vs Fobsters (133.50)
Has an expansion team/owner ever come into a league with so much thunder? The Fobsters had an amazing week with eight players in double figures (led by Shaun Alexander's 18 pts) but they still lost quite handily. Proving that nothing slips by Old English, Eric-A's team had Peyton Manning's 26 points on Thursday night but then saw that score get dwarfed by his other quarterback's five touchdowns and 38 points. Hot damn, Tony Romo for MVP! Add in the contributions of speedy smurf Steve Smith (20.5) and a little bit of running by Travis Henry (18.5) to keep defenses honest and Eric-A looks like the league leader after Week 1. What a debut for Old English...
