Round-Up: Week 2 Bajingos and Sasquatches

Not pictured: Defense.

Here it is, your weekly-double dose of Monday Morning bloggery. Mike has posted his concession speech below, but here's my take on the goings-on around the league yesterday. Without any further ado, here's Week 2's edition of Bajingos and Sasquatches.

Bajingos

1. Rich's Lineup!! - What the blood clot?! 60.7 points? You get 0.1 points for a completed pass, and a rushing attempt!! This is like scoring a 550 on the SATs when you get 400 points just for correctly spelling your name on the Scantron form. Richard, what's happening to us?!! I had you at number 1 overall in the preseason, but it looks like you'll be getting to know your neighbor in the basement, Adam.
2. Adam's Running Backs - Earlier in the week I posed the question if Adam's lineup of Musa Smith and Chester Taylor was the worst non-bye-week impacted starting running back tandem in fantasy history. If it wasn't, I'd be surprised. A huge heaping steaming 1.5 points between Jamal Lewis's former understudies.
3. Picks 1 through 3 of the Fantasy Draft - LT, S-Jax, and LJ combined for 29.5 points. Not the kind of production one would expect for the so called sure things in the draft. At least LT and LJ can say they played a stout defense though. What's with Jackson only racking up 60 yards on 21 carries against the Niners D?
4. Shifty Sophomores - Reggie Bush and Maurice Jones-Drew may be hitting a little bit of a sophomore slump (sorry to pick on your team twice, Rich). Both guys were supposed to be monsters with a year of experience under their belt, now neither looks like they want to claim the number 1 spot in the backfield rotation. Seize the day, gentlemen!!
5. Harrison and Wayne - When you own either of the Colts Pro Bowl receivers, and you see Tennessee on the schedule, you're expecting at least 1 TD a piece out of your guys. Maybe I'm being unfairly harsh here, both guys had over 70 yards, but I think given the circumstances, both Marvin and Reggie came up small.

Sasquatches

1. Ohio! - Cleveland and Cincinnati played a flag football game yesterday, with Cleveland getting the win 51-45. What the heck happened here? Derek Anderson put up 5 touchdowns, Jamal Lewis ripped off a 60+ yard touchdown, and the much-maligned Braylon Edwards reeled in 8 balls for a buck-forty-six and two scores. On the flip side, Carson Palmer tossed six touchdowns of his own, Rudi Johnson went over the hundred yard mark and caught a touchdown, and TJ and CJ each caught two touchdowns. Absolutely ridiculous game.
2. Melvin's Receivers - Each of Deion Branch, Chris Chambers, and Roy Williams went over 100 yards, and Roy grabbed a touchdown early in the Lions-Vikings game. Branch, who was a no show (and a Bajingo) just a week ago, caught seven passes for 122 yards. That's more like it, Deion.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Cadillac Williams ran for two scores, and Joey Galloway caught two more in a game I'm absolutely certain none of us actually watched.
4. Randy Moss - Tom Brady spreads the ball out!! The Patriots don't rely on one guy!! Nobody could catch ten touchdowns in that offense!! Baloney!! Randy Moss upgrading from Aaron Brooks to Tom Brady is the exact spark he needed to become the game's most dangerous receiver again. Unless of course, number 5 has something to say about it...
5. Steve Smith Pulls A Keanu Reeves - Remember in the second Matrix movie, when Neo's fighting all the Agent Smiths, and all the Agent Smiths finally start pinning him down and it looks like they'll finally kick the crap out of him, but then Neo gets really mad and has a violent explosion and all the Agent Smiths go flying off into the air? You remember that? That was awesome. Well, watch Steve Smith's third touchdown against the Texans yesterday and tell me he wasn't watching Matrix Reloaded right before the game started. Just an awesome bitchslapping of the defense. Unreal.

I know what to do.

You're going to trade me Reggie Bush for Jerry Porter and everything is going to be okay again.

Seriously, What's the deal with the Saints? Did anyone watch that beatdown?

Yes, I'm starting to think the Saints 2006 season was a fluke and they really arent a playoff caliber team. And I wish I hadnt taken Drew Brees as the 3rd QB drafted overall... he's $#!t the bed 2 games in a row. I'd rather have Drew Henson or Drew Weatherford or Drew Barrymore.

How is it possible that every starter besides my QB has failed to score a single TD for me this year? Thats got to be some kind of record... Sympathy points???

If Laurence Maroney can't find the end zone in back to back 38 point games, he never will.

Total freaking garbage.

There is a new concession stand item at the Cleveland Stadium.

The Chad Johnson, it is a hot dog covered in beer and served over his freshly served buns.

I'm enjoying mine with relish...

Who Dey? Da Browns!

Good to know my readership has expanded to the 12 of you, a Portugese spammer, and Dirkstar.

I'm making some serious waves in blogland.
