Week 2 Recap

While trash-talking was more chit-chat during Rivalry Week 2014 reflecting the niceness of people involved in PSAS, actual matches were nothing but.  First half of Battle of Brooklyn proved as brutal as it was for the Brits back in 18th century, and we are lucky to be able to observe this for another week.  Injury is also piling up as quick as Staten Island landfills, with much of it happening in first-half to star players that landed several franchises crucial (near-) gooseeggs that impacted the matches significantly.  We expect to see major activity in the waiver market in Week 3. 

After two weeks, TigerMountain and PhatGirlz are the teams to beat at 2-0 while defending champs Trix are 0-2.  Nauts and BDT, both at 2-0 as well, are the pretenders looking to be contenders.


TD vulture

No one picked JJ Watt, who had the best possible TD vulture outcome of 1 yd, 1 TD.  John "Vulture King" Kuhn's lone carry, also for 1 yd, came mid-field and didn't result in TD unfortunately.  In the end, only one franchise picked a player that scored a TD and was eligible to win. 

Old Future: Isaac Crowell--no TD
TTM: Kyle Rudolph--no TD
Nauts: Joseph Fauria--no TD
Pelican: CJ-side-kick--noTD
Bloodz: John da-vulture Kuhn--no TD
Trix: Mike Tolbert--no TD
BDT: Darrel Young--1 TD, 27 yards, 6/8.7 x 100%=69%

Because of 7 franchises participating in casino games, 5 bb bonus was applied.  BDT franchise will be awarded 20 bb for predicting who will score a TD. 

Look for TD vulture to make a comeback this year.

Stock Market
The second week of market saw gains for all franchises that participated with the freebie derivative mini Bless Di Wildcats hitting for 20 bb.  Asian market showed mixed results, and Team Formerly Known As James was a clear winner this week.  With more money (+168) put into the market by the public funds in week 2, the "old cliche: you lose if you don't play" is true-er than ever.

While derivatives for sale didn't hit, one of the freebies hit to lubricate the waiver market.  I told you it was a matter of time.

Celebrity Jeopardy: Future won, but Trix lost
