Week 2

RazoRamon (142.50) vs Nacho Libre's (92.50)
As RazoRamon (no double "R") pointed out, Hong almost had more points from his bench than his starters. While this is a bit of hyperbole, there's no discounting the fact that Joey Galloway's 27 points were sitting on the sidelines while the Nachos only managed to get halfway decent games from the receiving trio of Antonio Gates (16.5), Marques Colston (17), and Javon Walker (14). The Razors had their stars on the field and were amply rewarded with the performance from a truly resurgent Randy Moss (26 pts), along with another nice week from Edgerrin James (21). What is this? 2004?

Dirty Birds (147.00) vs babysrus (141.50)
And we all fall down...easily. Or not so easily in Dave's Son's case as he almost pulled out a Monday night victory but Donovan McNabb wasn't quite up to the task of taking out the Dirty Birds. The Birds had a pretty even week with Brett Favre, Frank Gore, and TJ Houshmandzadeh all putting up 20+ numbers. Babysrus came up 5.5 points shy despite nice performances from Rudi Johnson (20 pts) and Terrell Owens (17.5). In all, it was a nail biter of a week but hardly the stuff of legend despite the close score.

Jedi Knights (173.50) vs Old English (154.00)
Now THIS was an exciting game. With Tom Brady (23) and Andre Johnson (27.5) on one side versus Steve Smith (37) and Tony Romo (20) on the other, this game was see-sawing back and forth all Sunday long. Well, until Carson Palmer started inching from good game to magical game to legendary game as the afternoon went along. With a whopping 400 yards, six touchdowns, and 41 points, Carson insured a pretty big win for the Jedis. Old English had an outstanding Week 1 but against the Palmer-Brady-Johnson trio, even he couldn't do anything.

Fobsters (158.00) vs Brown Stars (105.50)
After putting up a putrid 72 points last week, could the Brown Stars outshine their opening week performance? Well, sort of. While putting up over 100+ points this week is commendable, losing by 40+ isn't an achievement worth noting. I mean, what's wrong with this team? Oh, there's no running attack to speak of whatsoever as Larry Johnson and Laurence Maroney are underachieving. The other Larry, Larry Fitzgerald, isn't exactly doing awesome either.

Who is doing awesome is Chad Johnson -- who scored a whopping 37.5 points this week after 17.5 last week. It looks like Jimmy's got a strong running attack too as Shaun Alexander, Brian Westbrook, and Marion Barber III are all looking legit (54 pts combined).
