Week 2 Action

Well, week 1 is in the books and the husband and wife team of the Mulligans appear to be the class of the field. Not to be outdone, the Digger family also pulled off double wins. The only other winner in week 1 was the future Mrs. Crook.

The other 5 players weren't the biggest losers in the field. That distinction belongs to the proposed trade between Mr. Mulligan and Monsieur Carr.

Heath Miller for Ray Rice? I've seen crackheads try to pull off fairer trades than that.

Nice try, and good job to those who had enough sense to veto that trade.

It feels pretty drafty in here.

We finally (ahem Chuck ahem) held our league draft Tuesday Night. The first pick this year went to Judy, and she steered clear of the Ravens Defense, unlike the holder of last year's first pick, Hansen.

I didn't realize it at the time, but Hansen took Joe Flacco in the first round. That is some serious school pride. I hope he doesn't need rotator cuff surgery any time soon. (Reverse Jinx)

So, it was a pretty ho-hum first round. An hour later, somewhere during Round 16, things started to get a little crazy. Here's how that round played out:

For the second straight year, Chuck picked an incarcerated Plaxico Burress. That has to be a record. Hansen picked a player for whom her husband's team is named after. Mulligan picked PETA spokesman Michael Vick (again, right?) and I competed with Judy in the contest to pick most Sub-Saharan Africa sounding name. Good fun.
