I'm rejuving the blog thing that I went away from last year. That being said I think my ability to write 5000 words each Sunday has been compromised by a lethal 3 child, housework, work work, husband schedule that continually reprioritizes my life but more importantly reprioritizes my brain. I'm shocked I've thought of this much to say so far. I do have some thoughts I'd like to get down. We'll see if it happens this year. I hope I don't disappoint.
Here's something that does not disappoint (ok maybe a little):
This year I'll set up some power rankings, not that they hold any weight but more just to provoke. Bulletin board material if you will. Here's the rankings this week:
1. Replacement Refs - AP, BMarsh, Cecil "Eat My" Shorts, TB (tuberculosis?). He had a great draft (or should I say the ESPN robot who drafted for him did?) This should pay off in some wins.
2. Team Boy's Club - This is a TD team through and through and there will be a lot of TD from each player in this lineup.
3. Team Kent- Peyton Manning all ready happened. Who knew his best performance this year wasn't going to be selling pizzas? Now I'm hungry... Calvin Johnson, MJD, Reggie Wayne...I rest my case.
4. Let's Get Physical - This is a high upside team with potential. Potential to dominant and then potential to fail. Lacy should be good...if they hand him the ball. Alfred Morris should continue from last season...if there is a passing game. Eli Manning could make the Eli face and gift wrap the football to the D or he may be brilliant. And Dez and Julio will have gigantic years if Miles Austin and Roddy White don't.
5. Rain Dancer - There is so much quality in RBs this team may have been #2 in this list but injuries could be an issue as RG3 is a huge question mark, AJ Green sat out the preseason, and Andre Johnson who has always looked 49 years old...actually is now
6. Savannah Pickles - The top 3 players (McCoy, Forte, and Graham) will be better this year than last year and Stafford will be solid and will have a running game now. Richardson, Wallace and Nelson are the weak spots and also are solid names for a partners in an Injury law firm.
7. Mono Peligroso - I can't deny how huge Kap, Beast Mode, and Bush will be this year. I love Tate but will he be any good without terrible refs who miss obvious end zone calls? Vereen and Sudfeld should be good this year but we're dealing with Belichek and he's grimy, sweatstained sweatshirt.
8. Levangers Bangers - Romo shold have a big year. The rest of the team doesn't look like much of a guarantee. Foster will share carries but will be top 10. Gore has always been consistent but when will it end. Roddy White has been injured and shares the field with Jones. Smith just became an AARP member. We'll see.
9. Team Cantona - Charles is the leader here and Chris Johnson is on the comeback. Andrew Luck is supposed to be even better this year. The problem? Darren McFadden and Christian Pond...I mean Greg Jennings may put the "Can't" in Cantona
10. Big Blows - Ryan from the Office will have a bounce back year and be the number one QB this year. Most likely because of the trash Greg Jennings is talking. Doug Martin will be great again and the WRs are very very solid. The glaring weakness is Ryan Mathews who heads up the Ryan Mathews all stars which includes him, Shonn Greene, Mark Ingram, and Darren McFadden. This honor goes to RBs who everyone eventually says "Why did I draft this guy again?"
11. Hernandez's Silver Bullets - Tie - I couldn't decide between these two teams. HSB has anchors in Brees and Ray Rice. Welker looked solid the first week but will he be the primary option every week? Then it gets dicey. Williams is all the Panthers have and Antonio Brown is all that the Steelers have but that doesn't mean much when you have to actually make plays. We'll see...
11. Spatula City Spatulas - Tie - Matt Ryan will pass a lot and Trent Richardson will run a lot. But everyone else has unrealized talent. In fact 3 of them don't even start which is an issue. This would be a great keeper league team but Week 1 there will be struggles. Maybe the rest of the year these teams will utilize this talent the way they should.
Let's have John come in here and give us some words of wisdom for this week:
Someone IS blowing a whistle, John
Have a good week everyone.
Ryan
