2003 Week 1 Report
After a long off season, the pigskin is
back... and so is our fantasy league. There were some big surprises around
the league as well as some predictability. As I did last year at this time,
I would like to caution anyone who is a big supporter of E-Z Money to temper
their expectations. After one week of action, it looks like their chances
of being successful in 2003 are slim to none.
The results...

Feature game of the
week
|
|
The Steins (0-0-1)
tied Vick's Vagines
(0-0-1), 95-95.
There is nothing like opening the season against your bitter archrival
and thinking you have won your contest... and then finding out later you
didn't! I am sure one of these two teams is now reading this report with
utter disappointment as they find out the contest ended in a tie. Due to
inaccuracies with a few online informatin services, the statistics for
the fantasy players involved were being listed incorrectly. The official
stats (the ones available at NFL.com) reveal that this game truly did end
up a tie. The Lip Division is expected to be tight all year long, and this
result only strengthens that belief. These two teams play against each
other one more time during Week Nine.

Here are the rest of the results for Week
One:
P.O.B. Pimps
(1-0) defeated E-Z Money
(0-1), 81-63.
The two lowest scoring teams on the week were involved in this sad affair.
The two quarterbacks playing combined for 11 fantasy points. That's just
wrong. In the end, the better team won - and it's a refreshingly nice result
for the P.O.B. Pimps who have had trouble getting out of the blocks
in recent years. For anyone betting on the Pimps to win this week, it was
seriously "E-Z Money."
The Fat Bus (1-0)
defeated T.T.M.F. Little Johnny (0-1),
95-84.The Bus
is back! It took them awhile to figure it out, but this franchise has finally
realized that any chance they have at winning the title revolves around
calling themselves The Fat Bus. This was a solid opening week for them,
and they look like an early favorite to advance out of the Hair Conference
into the playoffs. T.T.M.F isn't that bad overall although they do have
some questions lingering over their starting quarterback position.
Karen's Komets
(1-0) defeated Victorious Secrets
(0-1), 97-82.
The defending champions are starting their '03 title defense strongly.
They led the league in points this opening week and might have the best
fantasy QB in the league. As for the Secrets, they look like they have
some issues at running back. The question is whether or not their other
position players will make up for their lack of a running game. It's too
early to tell, but this could haunt them all year.
Faerie Fucks
(1-0) defeated Priestie Boys
(0-1), 91-83.
The Faerie Fucks set out to prove that last year's 2nd place finish was
no fluke. So far it looks like they are doing that. With a solid all-around
effort, the Fucks enjoy this Week One victory, while the Priestie Boys
appear to be a one-trick pony. As Rueff learned years ago, having the best
player in football on your team (at the time Rueff had Barry Sanders) doesn't
necessarily mean you are going to win games. Besides RB Priest Holmes,
the Boys look to be quite mediocre overall and could be in for a long season.
Next week should be a good one... good luck
to all of you.
