WEEK 2 RECAP:
If you thought Week 1 was crazy, Week 2 certainly brought it up a notch. Browns score 51 points? Jamal Lewis comes back from the dead to break 200 yards? LT gets neutered for the second straight week? It's shaping up to be a crazy season, which might be just fine with Paul, who this week joined Kevin as the only owner in league history to win both of the first two $20 prizes in a given season. A well-rounded team effort led by Andre Johnson, Tony Romo, and Willie Parker earned Paul 148 points, the highest total so far in this short season, and a victory over a very unlucky Jeremie, who notched up 120 points of his own. Congrats to Paul, our Week 2 winner! In other action, Marc certainly has brought his A-game this season, as he sent another unlucky high-scorer, Eddie, to defeat with Marc Bulger and Rudi Johnson (and no help from Jamal Lewis, who was on his bench). Despite being riddled with injuries in Week 1, Mike made a strong showing in Week 2 behind Randy Moss and T.J. Houshmanzadeh in a defeat of Nick. Dennis impressively moved to 2-0 by beating pre-season favorite Tom with Chad Johnson and Joey Galloway leading the way. Kevin fought back from Week 1 disappointment to beat Dan T. with help from Frank Gore and his 43-yard TD run on 4th-and-1. And finally, our defending champion Uncle Joe has fallen to 0-2 this week after tasting bittersweet defeat at the hands of Dan L. and the mighty Marion Barber.

THIS WEEK'S MATCHUPS:

Dennis (Sinned76) vs. Mike (Iron Insanity)
Kevin (Motor City Madman) vs. Nick (Vengeance)
Uncle Joe (Mongrels) vs. Dan T. (DanT's Inferno)

MATCHUP-OF-THE-WEEK:
Marc vs. Paul. Two undefeated owners with strong rosters capable of putting up high scores. This one has the added element of revenge, though. Marc is still stinging after just getting knocked out of the fantasy baseball playoffs by Paul in Marc's fantasy baseball league, and he's out for blood. Paul has won two $20 prizes already, but the loss of Andre Johnson will definitely hurt.

LEAGUE NEWS & NOTES:
-In trade action, Dan T. and Eddie swapped RB's this weekend. Dan sent Denver's Selvin Young to Eddie for New York's Derrick Ward.
-As many of you have already noticed, Yahoo features a "Smack Talk" function that lets you send a brief smack talking message to your opponent (or pretty much anyone else). Please be responsible and tasteful, we'd rather not see messages of the type you'd find on the door of the bathroom stall (so no "I just boinked your mom" type of things). But enjoy, this is a cool function.

THE "POOP LIST"
No one made the poop list this week. Mike gets a pass for Chester Taylor because he was a gametime decision. Good job everyone.
