The Anderson Brewmeisters got P.W.O.P.’d in Oiltown Sunday, when their defense couldn’t finish what their offense started.  Paul’s wicked Seatle Seahawks stripped 18 away from the Brewskie offense, and added a defensive TD for good measure, while the losing Brewmeisters’ Chargers D was spending the afternoon getting pushed all over the field, giving up 486 yards in a paltry 2-against performance, their second horrible game in as many weeks.

Riding the arm of QB Tony Romo (11 points) and the toe of Mason Crosby (12), the Profiteer$ got only 19 points from their other five offensive starters, but with the play of the Seahawks D, they really didn’t need a lot of offense.  Week #2 looked pretty much like week #1 for the Brewmeisters, with 14 from Brian Westbrook to lead the team, solid play from the receiving corps. (10 from Chambers and 7 each from Burress and Holt), and more subpar play from Peyton Manning (5) and “Lame Toe”, LaDanian Tomlinson (2).  Manning finds himself uncharacteristically tied with Trent Ewards and Brett Favre for 12th best among quarterbacks, and giving the Andersons some worried looks.  At least Tomlinson has an acknowledged injury to blame his poor performances on.

Both teams left the field with 1-1 records, and both find themselves in second place in their respective divisions, with the Brewmeisters trailing the Naughty Figs, and P.W.O.P. a game down to the Abstract Machines.

The Naughty Figs brought out the whuppin’ sticks Sunday, and laid a 64 – 28 beatdown on the Pimps.  So amazing was the Figs’ offense that receiver Anquan Boldin’s 16 points was not even the team high.  That honor was left to quarterback Jay Cutler, who posted an 18, his second consecutive double-digit score.  And the fireworks continued with kicker Nick Folk (13), RB Clinton Portis (11), and receiver Brandon Marshall (11) all posting double digits for the Naughties.  Pimps’ QB Kurt Warner tried vainly to rally the home team with a stellar 16 points, but running back Adrian Peterson’s 9 and a pair of 6’s from receivers Eddie Royal and Jason Whitten were not enough to counter the firepower of the Naughty Ones.  The Pimps' Redskins D, with 15 takeaway points, managed to edge Brandon’s Steelers (14 against), but it mattered little, as the rain of Figs seemed like it would never end.

The Naughties now find themselves on top in the Eastern Division, with a perfect record over the first two weeks.  The Pimps, with two losses to start the season, join the Stereco as the only winless teams in the league.

The new look Piana Raze lost their defense for week 2, as a bit of bad weather caused the Ravens to fly the coop and miss the team bus, forcing Brian to play shorthanded against last year’s regular season leading Thomas Bock Boys.  The result was a 46 – 28 Bock Boys win that evened the records of both teams at 1-1 after the first two weeks.

Led by 12 points each from RB Marion Barber and receiver Calvin Johnson, the Bock Boys didn’t seem to miss former standout wideout Plax Burress this weekend.  Opting to play run-and-shoot, with 4 receivers and Barber, Thomas got good production from Greg Jennings (8) and Donald Driver (6), then used a 9-against performance from his Patriots defense to douse the Raze.  Brian got the usual fine game from T.O., who’s 10 points led the Raze, and also got 8’s from receiver Reggie Wayne and kicker Neil Rackers, who out-scored once-Raze-now-Bock Boy kicker Adam Vinatieri by 4.  But the Raze only got 3 total points from it’s two running backs, which put the nails in the coffin.  Michael Turner may have tired himself out racking up 17 last week, as this week he was only able to manage 2 points – and that was one more than Larry Johnson posted, in about as dismal a running attack as we have seen from the Raze in quite awhile.

Both teams are now looking up a game at the Abstract Machines after the first two weeks of play, with the Bock Boys looking suddenly solid, and the Raze somewhat disorganized and looking for a leader at running back.

The Colossal Waste of Time nipped the Sims’ Stereco at The Vortex to take it’s first win of the season, 31 – 27.  Overcoming the second consecutive pitiful game by quarterback Carson Palmer, the Jody’s were led this week by kicker Stephen Gostkowski’s 13, with at least some meaningful contribution from receivers Anthony Gonzalez (7) and Santonio Holmes (5), and running backs Frank Gore (6) and Steven Jackson (5).  Jody’s Bears D got in on the scoring with a DTD to go along with 13 points against.  But Palmer was a liability, actually giving Sims a point, and forcing the Twelfth Man, as it were, to come to the rescue.  Sims had played Jody even, with RB Darren McFadden posting a team-high 9, wideout Larry Fitzgerald adding 8, and Brandon Jacobs and Brett Favre adding 5 each.  But the Stereco lost the defensive battle, as Sims’ Jaguars played only average, with 10 takeaway points.

The C.W.O.T. remain a game behind the division leading Naughty Figs, at 1-1, while the winless Stereco share the Eastern Division cellar with the Pimps.

The Abstract Machines used massive defense and Santana Moss’ best game in years to best the visiting Irwin Hellions, 32 – 21 Sunday.  Mike F’s Giants D was indeed large, stripping 19 away from the Hellions and adding a DTD.  Although Chris’ Eagles D also posted a touchdown, it’s 4 against was a big drop from last weekend’s showing.  Nor did the Hellions get the monster game from quarterback Donovan McNabb that they did in week 1, as McNabb posted a more average 8, and was only the second best Hellion on the field, with running back Julius Jones hitting for a dime.  The Machines’ Santana was not only the best Moss this weekend, his 13 points were a team high, and second best of any receiver in week 2.  The Machines got five each from RB Willie Parker, WR Dwayne Bowe, and kicker Jeff Reed, and were able to overcome tight end Jeramy Shockey giving the Hellions a point.

The Machines have sprinted out the gate with a 2-0 record, the only undefeated team in the West.  The Hellions, losers for the first time this season, join all the other teams in the West in a four-way tie for second place.
