So far this season, Slimmy's been running through the league like he's got a plasma sword.
.
It never fails. I brag last week about how Aaron and I were 2-0, and now we're 2-1. I'm sorry about the temper tantrum. You guys can have your name back. Meanwhile, two young gentlemen DID improve to 3-0 this weekend, so it goes without saying that they'll be #1 and #2 in this week's edition of the Westside Village V Power Rankings.
1. Paul Davis (3-0, Previously #2) - Let's see. Best record, most points, and if he had a different last name, he'd be the proud owner of Peyton Manning.
2. Shawn Hussein (3-0, Previously #3) - Not piling up the points, per se, but managing to come away with a win three weeks in a row. Two-Time-Chumley award winner Randy Moss is the heart and soul of the team. Randy and the Patriots don't have a bye until Week 10. Will Shawn and the Pats both be 9-0 at that point?
3. Jon Hefty (2-1, Previously #1) - I threw out my shoulder patting myself on the back last week. I'm wondering what the hell Tomlinson is waiting for this season. All the reports I read say to relax; he'll be fine, he had a slow start last season, too. So let me get this straight...you don't play a single snap in preseason, and then you take 3 or 4 weeks of the regular season getting back into game shape. Well, I'm no genius, but it sounds like you might want to do that kind of thing when the games don't count. I know he doesn't want to get hurt, but maybe he's doing himself a disservice.
4. Craig Fritz (2-1, Previously #8) - Craig put a whoopin on me this week, but he's still below me on the power rankings? Why? Because it's my damn blog and I say I could still beat him 8 out of 10 games. Random thought here: at what point is it okay to start getting angry at your real-life favorite team for ruining your fantasy day, even though they're winning. Example: Brian Westbrook absolutely killed my chances of winning on Sunday. Is it okay that I start hoping for him to be tackled at the 1 yard line? I'm still rooting for the Eagles, just not Westbrook, right? I don't know. That's always been the gray area of fantasy sports.
5. Jordan Yingling (2-1, Previously #6) - Gets a slight bump in the rankings for picking up Manning. That just seems like the kind of move that gets a team from the playoff bubble to being a near-lock. I'm sure the number of Peyton Manning quarterbacked fantasy teams who make the playoffs is somewhere near 75%. It has to be.
6. Matt Melvin (1-2, Previously #10) - This is Ronnie Brown's world, and we're just living in it. Jason Witten has become an unstoppable beast at tight end. He's currently #2 in the tight end rankings, behind only Antonio Gates. Good steal from Rich.
7. Aaron Repucci (2-1, Previously #4) - Aaron, although 2-1, drops behind a 1-2 team. Why so harsh? Because Aaron's team has put up 110 fewer points on the season than Melvin, that's why. Is it too soon to call Maurice Jones-Drew a complete bust? Maybe, but we're definitely getting there.
8. Mike Walbert (1-2, Previously #5) - Mike got dealt the worst injury news of the fantasy season so far on Monday Night. Deuce is done for the year. Will he make a trade, sign a free-agent, or finally give Marcel Shipp the nod? Tune in and find out!!
9. Shelby Fidler (1-2, Previously #7) - Kevin Curtis and Brett Favre had some monster games for Shelby's squad last weekend. Too bad they were both riding the pine. A quick glance at Shelby's lineup this week says that they're both in there now. Might be a little too late, bud.
10. Rich Ely(1-2, Previously #11) - Rich begins his hobbit-like quest to regain his preseason #1 ranking. It will be a long road, but with Reggie Bush getting full-time duty, anything's possible I guess.
11. Dave Wanner (0-3, Previously #9) - The second worst injury news of the weekend had to be that Steven Jackson is out two or three weeks with some groin tearage. How does a groin tear feel? Let's ask MLB Slugger Ken Griffey Jr., an expert on such topics: "The best way I can describe it is that it feels like somebody bungee jumped off my right nut." Enjoy, Steven!!
12. Adam Davis (0-3, Previously #12) - Putting Adam at #12 every week is like picking the Special Ed kid last in kickball every gym class. Does it feel good doing it? Maybe at first, but not anymore. But does he deserve it? Yeah, yeah he does. Sorry, Special Ed Kickball Kid. You're twelfth again.

Thanks for not putting me in fantasy purgatory as earlier reported. Please sir, don't bungee off bofa deez nutz!!
What the hell happened to the Untrained Chef?
So you blocked the trade because we had the same last name? Or was it becuase I took B'more D in the 4th round.
i would like you to all notice that though i may have slipped in the power rankings...
and though my team may not "score many points"...
that i am the ONLY undefeated team when playing on the road!
you other chumps just can't handle the pressure of playing away from your home turf...mark that down on your clip board notes as an essential X factor!!!!!
A) I didn't block anything. I and seven of your leaguemates did. So I blocked 1/8th of your trade.
B) I chose to block it because at the time, it seemed like such a horrible return for Peyton Manning. After seeing your other trade offers, it probably wasn't too far off...
C) I was joking about the last name thing. I love all things Davis.
