Week 1 Commish's Corner




Injuries, Injuries, Injuries
Definitely the theme of the first week is the amount of serious injuries.  By far the Vatican Rabbi have taken the brunt of the injuries with losing Brady (Round 1), Colston (keeper), and Burleson (Round 9).  You gotta hand it to the VR, they won week 1.  Now that they have spotted the league 3 hurt players, we'll see how they respond to adversity.

As much as I love fantasy football, the single biggest complaint I have is the impact of injury.  Before you say, fantasy football is suppose to mimick NFL and the injuries definitely hurt the NFL teams, I truly believe injuries have too big an impact in the NFL.  I have no answers to fix this issue, just complaints.

That said, now the Vatican Rabbis are seriously in a hole right of the bat in week 1.

Surprises:
Willie Parker - Glad to see Vatican Rabbis having some good news to balance out the Brady news.
Michael Turner - M.M., you just need to start Turner now.
Hines Ward - Drafted in the 7th round, but performing like a top WR.
Marvin Harrison - You know what happens when Marvin is upset?  He runs fast!
Felix Jones - Didn't think the Bears line would holdup, but week 1 just might be a sign of things to come.
Eddie Royal - Wow, undrafted but top WR.


Dissappointments:
Addai/Manning - WTF was that all about?
Braylon Edward - Didn't have a good game at all.
Vikes
Vince Young

Coolest Weapon of the Week:

Random Thought  of the Week:
By far the most interesting science news this week is the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) - built for the specific purpose to find the God particle.  Sweet.  If we find it, then it will prove we understand why matter has mass.  Google or digg it for recent news.

Ney #1 you are a DICK for picking Brees right before I was going to. It was the single difference in our game, and #2 Carson Palmer was one of the BIGGEST disappointments in week 1. I will make my second playoff appearance this year. The Turd is the team to beat.

I got lucky he fell to me there. Maybe losing the 3rd place game to you last year had a silver lining.
