ABOVE PICTORIAL: Terrell Owens crying after a playoff loss to the New York Giants. A lot has changed from 2 weeks before the Super Bowl until Week 2 of the 2008 NFL and All Pro seasons. T.O., Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys, and most importantly the Romosapiens were not not crying and were most defintiely smiling in pleasure of their team's performance in week 2.
WEEK 2 REVIEW
GAME OF THE WEEK

The game of Week 2 goes to a Romosapien victory over Norfolk-in-Chance. Norfolk thought they had the win packed up Sunday night scoring 144 points in the week compared to a 75 from the Romosapiens. But no so fast, no one forgot that Phil drafted 6 starters from a Week 2 Monday Night Football team, Dallas Cowboys.
In the most exciting game of the NFL season, Dallas barely pulled off a win over Philadelphia 41-37. In this Monday Night win, Tony Romo and the rest of America's team made Jerry Jones and possibly owner Phil a lot richer in the near future. Romo scoring 25 fantasy points lead an ongoing air strike offense to 3 passing TD's and 300 yards on the catch and run.
Yet the player of the week goes to the Dallas Cowboy Defense. Yes, the Boys gave up 31 points to an offensive juggernaut in Philadelphia, but the gritty Dallas team fought back in the fantasy books for the Romosapiens turning a negative point value in to 26 points in their favor. The defense recorded 4 sacks on mobile QB Donovan McNabb as well as picking up a fumble, and scoring a Special Teams TD.
Norfolk-in-Chance put up a very good fight. Enough to win over 7 teams in the league, but luck of the draw gives Norfolk the big "L". Key players for Norfolk were Washington RB Clinton Portis who scored 23 points, but their most prized option was Brandon Marshall, Top Receiver of the Denver Broncos. Marshall scored 39 points, with career high 18 receptions for 166 yards and a TD. The Romosapiens are now 2-0 and the loss pushes Norfolk-in-Chance's of the playoffs slimmer at 0-2.

The projected GOTW turned out to be a runaway win for the Mafia of Mullets. A key component in the Mafia’s win was their most important positions at QB and both RB positions. Eli Manning of the New York Football Giants scored 28 points for the Mullet Mafia against a struggling Rams team. Surprisingly, a thought of as "washed up" Julius Jones of the Seattle Seahawks had a good week at 22 points, and Mr. Dependable Brian Westbrook put in an expected consistent performance with some help from a few rookie Receivers. On the other side of the spectrum the ALLIANCE is playing with fire. For the second week in a row, the ALLIANCE had at least 3 players with very low single digit points, but this week it hurt the ALLIANCE the most. After starting out strong in Week 1, it looks as the ALLIANCE might be getting desperate as they cant lean on Adrian Peterson's shoulders and need to do something good to stop their season from dwindling away early. On the other hand, The Mullet Mafia look to stay undefeated in week 3.

What hurts the most in sports is lost opportunity, and this does indeed include Fantasy sports. The closest yet lowest scoring game of the week ended in owner PJ kicking himself in the ass as a last minute change makes the difference between 0-2 and 1-1. Santana Moss, an undervalued player in fantasy football was scratched from the lineup within the closing minutes of the start Washington's game. The move was obviously intended to help out In Flames, but it didn’t turn out that way as Santana scored 31 fantasy points, for the BENCH. In the battle of the worst, and best of the worst prevailed and that was owner Josh and his Godzillas squeaking by with a lucky W. Look for owner Josh and the Godzillas to take it easy throughout the season in their push for a playoff berth. Owner Josh likes to play it safe, he eats a lot to prevent the risk of ever being hungry, pees sitting down to avoid any type of sprinkling, and oh yeah he plays it the safe way, which has proved to be the winning way in fantasy football.

There is an old quote that says "I deserve respect for the things I didn't do." Well this is untrue in owner Gabe's and the Crotch Waffles' case. You don't deserve any respect when you start 3 players that didn’t even PLAY.... period. The Jimmasters did not score well enough o deserve a win either, but that’s the way things go sometimes and this is another big Week 2 turning point game as it makes the Jimmasters 2-0 and the former 2007 champion CrotchWaffles 0-2.

In what was considered to be a complete blowout, turned out to be another undeserving win, this time in the Chinese Eggrolls case. The Eggrolls scored big in Week 1 and were projected to do so again in Week 2, but only scored 115 points. The heroics of Anquan Boldin had made the major difference in a 17-point win over the Elastic Warriors. Warner to Boldin was an often-repeated statement during Sunday's afternoon game. It doesn't help the Warriors very much to start an ailing rookie Atlanta Falcon QB in Matt Ryan and could prove that any injury can throw your season completely down the shitter. Yet another turning point that makes the Eggrolls perfect and the Warriors perfectly screwed over. An outlook on the Elastic Warriors season is not looking good. They try to "stretch" the limits a bit too much, but Elastic is strong, but in most cases as well as this case, the Elastic can only be stretched so far before it and they snap completely.
