Week 1

     

         I hope everyone had a good time at the draft. It is always one of my favorite times of the year. It gets harder every year to try and pick who drafted the best team.

         Everyone seemed to like the idea of going to Atlantic City next year for the 20^th year. I will have all the information before the season ends.

     Here are some 2008 Draft Night stats, compared to last year’s draft:

      Up and comers:                                              How the Mighty have fallen:

     In case you have forgotten, the Smitty Fantasy Football Web Page is located at www.geocities.com/dsmith3721. I will continue to put the lineups and results there. Here are the highlights from Week 1:

 

Headbutts 29, Hooters 11:  “Life of” Brian Westbrook scored 12 points to help the Headbutts squeeze the Hooters to win their third straight opening Week 1 game. The Hooters did have 24 points on their bench.

 

Flounders 46, Glazed Donuts 42: Down 42-32 going into Monday night, the Green “Day” Packers defense scored 6 points and then Jay Cutler sliced in another 8 points to help the Flounders stun the Dog nuts, as every Flounder player scored.  Fifth-round pick “Wet” Willie Parker led the Donuts and the league with 18 points.

 

Woglom’s Warriors 26, Hoochie Mommy 15: The Not-to-be-waived this year Drew “Cool” Brees scored 12 points and the #1 drafted defense Chicago “Care” Bears added another eight points to help the Warriors continue their dominance over the Biddison family (4-0 lifetime record).

 

Hell’s Angelas 48, Geeks on Call 23: The risky Donovan “No more Chunky Soup commercials” McNabb scored 12 points and everyone but the Colts defense scored for the Angels to help them humiliate the Geeks and get the first weekly pot.

 

Ned the Dog 36, Benchwarmers 26: Michael Turner “& Hooch” scored 12 points and Hines “Mental” Ward added another 12 points to help Ned FINALLY beat the Scrubs in Week 1 and get a little revenge from last year’s 1^st round playoff loss.

 

Bye this Week: None
