| The Quickster: Darren Sproles provides a spark to Shooter McGavin's lineup |
Most Points Scored: Beat Joe - 126.3
Least Points Scored: Team Next Year - 57.3
Unsung Heroes of the Week: Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson - 34.6 & 31.7 points
Biggest Fantasy Duds: Marques Colston, Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles
Best Waiver Pickup: Matt Asiata (The Heismanbergs) - 16.9 Points
Best Depth or Poor Lineup? (Most Bench Points): Two Cups, One Josh - 75.6 points
...and then there were four. Two of the unbeatens went down this week although we knew that 2 would have to lose anyways. For those that weren't squaring off against a 1-0, they prevailed and after two weeks, Two Cups One Josh, Shooter McGavin, Kissing Suzy Kolber and Beat Joe start the year at 2-0.
As for the 0-2 squads, there is a great deal of hope. In the last two seasons, a total of 6 teams have started the year at least 0-2. Of these 6 occurrences, 50% of the teams have actually gone on to make the playoffs. Last season, Eddie began the year 0-3 and still managed to squeak into the playoffs. So don't give up hope just yet (Chreeysz and Dave) because a lot can change in the next 11 weeks.
Shooter McGavin - 119.6
Vinegar Strokes - 86.3
The "Game of the Week" was marred by a huge injury to team Vinegar Strokes as Jamaal Charles exited the game early. Adding to the blow, Nick pulled away from Brian in the Super Bowl rematch as newly acquired weapons Darren Sproles and Jordy Nelson put the icing on the cake, breaking off huge plays one after another on the Colts and Jets defenses respectively. We hope to see this matchup once again this season as both teams still look poised for the playoffs. Shooter hopes to neuter the Nard Dawgs on his way to a 3-0 start while Vinegar Strokes looks to knock off Kissing Suzy Kolber which could be the matchup of the week.

Two Cups, One Josh - 117.5
Shady McCoy may not have tipped in his most recent meal in a fine restaurant but he scored enough to "tip" The Heismanbergs to 0-2 for the season. Two Cups, One Josh shook off an early AJ Green injury to prevail yet again in Week 2. Joe's squad looks poised to bring him his first championship and this should be one of his few close calls. New acquisition Arian Foster (Josh still doesn't agree) looks to back in 2011 form as he posted the most points for Joe's balanced attack. Nearly posting the most points without his best receiver, Joe looks to push his record to 3-0 against The DrewBrees Brothers. As for Cookies, he once again puts up 100 points in a loss and starts the season 0-2. Chris Johnson severely crippled his chances with a pedestrian 2.6 points after Peyton and Demaryius got him out to an early lead. His team has played well but has simply ran into the wrong teams at the wrong time in the first two weeks. He faces an injury-ridden Team SSPD this weekend in hopes of his first win.

DrewBree Brothers 94.6
Both teams were poised to avoid the 0-2 start and Dave happened to catch the injury-bug at the wrong time. Doug Martin was unable to play but Taco Corp was able to hang around due to his strong play from Beast Mode and Russell Trillson. However, Marques Colston, Dud of the Week posted a crippling goose egg that proved to be the main difference in The DrewBree Brothers first win this season. Led by a balanced scoring attack and 25 combined points from his kicker and defense to reclaim the victory Victor Cruz blew for him last week. Aaron's bench could have won him the game as they posted 68 points themselves. Dave has been rumored to be quitting the league if things don't turn around and has a tough task this week against Josh as he searches for his first win. Best of luck, Amigo. As for Aaron, he gets his coveted first win with Drew as a co-manager and looks to get a winning streak going against Two Cups, One Josh.

Team SSPD - 90.5
Losing RG3 hurts, but playing against Josh hurt Team SSPD even more this weekend. After his starting QB went down, in addition to Ryan Mathews his team responded by playing well in his absence by still scoring 90.5 points. Dom must toggle his roster to remain relevant but his options on the bench still make him a difficult matchup. As for Mommy Slut, Beat Joe cruised to their second straight win on the backs of his two Cowboys, DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant. Too many weapons as Josh posted the week high for points and has no signs of slowing down as he has two dynamite keepers, especially DeMarco Murray. Josh takes on Taco Corp next week who is destined for a breakout week, so don't take him lightly Mommy.

The Nard Dawgs - 106.5
The Schmeckles couldn't work their hebrew magic this weekend as they fell to The Nard Dawgs, who picked up their first win of the season. Gio Bernard carried Will to victory while Alfred Morris created some sort of "Mega Running Back" to score 47 combined points. A much needed win for Whitt to get his season going as he now squares off against Shooter McGavin. As for Chris, he faces Chreeyusz next weekend to finally pick up his first win in Slushie Sundays league history. Interesting to see who Chris plays as QB this week as he has to choose between Philip Rivers, Tony Romo and Jake Locker. He'll need a stronger showing from keeper, Reggie Bush, who's looked very lackluster so far in the young season.
Kissing Suzy Kolber - 120.4
Two teams at the opposite end of the spectrum after two weeks, Vinnie picks up another blowout victory as Kissing Suzy Kolber moves to 2-0 behind the strength of Aaron Rodgers, Delanie Walker and Special Teams. The fact that Megatron and Forte only accounted for 17 of his stellar 120.4 points this week must be terrifying for his future opponents. Suzy takes on the Vinegar Strokes next week as he tries to win his third straight game in blowout fashion. As for Chreeyusz, kid can't catch a break so far. He loses his main keeper in AP, only to have him reinstated on Monday, and ultimately to be charged with another case of child abuse hours later. He now goes by Team Next Year, promising a dominant team in 2015 but there's a lot of time left this season to turn it around. Here's to hoping he picks up his first win next week against the Schmeckles.
