Stock Market Week 2

Stock Market reopens for Week 2.  We saw the potential of multifacta derivative almost winning in week 1.  It's not a question of if they will hit but when, and when they do, the only way you get paid is if you play.  So play big while the odds favor gamblers big time.

With Rivalry Week at hand, the matchups this week are all tough, but there are some upset potentials plus derivatives and freebies look attractive.

The payout schedule for 5 bankerbitez is as following.

                         Blue Chip     Market Performer     Junk
Blue Chip                  5                      3                          2
Market Performer     10                     5                          3
Junk                         15                     10                        5

This week's matchups are:

-NYU.tv Bowl
(1) TakingTigerMountain (5 bb) vs (3) SanFranciscoFerries (5 bb)

Two highest scoring teams battle each other in arguably the best game of this young season.  Ferries face top-ranked teams in two consecutive weeks to open the season while trying to extend their record-setting 10-game regular-season winning streak.  TigerMountain showed in week 1 they mean business in 2014.  Winner of this match will take the reign of the early part of the season.

-Broadway-Myrtle Bowl prezented by Popeyes

(2) PhatGirlz (5 bb) vs (4) Trichotillomaniacs (5 bb)

The third and forth best scorers of week 1 face each other in this week of death.  Defending champs Trichs look to avoid falling 0-2, but Monique's entourage is ready to stand till last hair's pulled.  Both teams have running backs with "minor" knee problems, Tate and Martin respectively, and their health could determine the outcome of this catfight.

-Peach Bowl
(5) Polk High Panthers (3 bb) vs (9) Homoerasmus James (10 bb)

Babies bring luck and rookies learn their lessons.  Such is life.  The Battle of Atlanta will also feature Bundy's side's AJ Green and James' Knowshown Moreno, two former Bulldogs fittingly.  Charles' lack of production is concerning for Bundy coming off a solid upset-win, and if the rook can get the titration right, there's room to capture for his own upset.

-Sunset Twilight Bowl
(6) ThePelicanBrief (5 bb) vs (8) BuildingDW3LL1NGTh1nk1ng (5 bb)

Another well-matched game in the second week feature two franchises that look to suck each others' bones and climb into the upper echelon of PSAS 2014.   Both teams feature keeper-franchise QBs that struggled in week 1.  Could it be the beginning of end for either Brady or Romo?  Both teams hope not.

-Kuzmanovich Bowl

(7) AEthernauts (3 bb) vs (11-t) Shock_Pick (10 bb)

This week it's Nauts in the way of Shock trying to snap the record-setting losing streak.  Nauts held the fort admirably in Cam's absence and taught the rookie a lesson in week 1.  With TE and K titration, Shock roster is full of upside.  I smell something here.

-Flatbush-Atlantic Bowl prezented by Barclays

(10) HomeSpunNeckBloodz (5 bb) vs (11-t) Dijonnaise All-Stars (5 bb)

First of Home-and-Home series between teams that dropped their respective first games of 2014 will be played on the Atlantic side.  The hosting Spinnerz look for a spark out of the offense that was lackluster in the opening week.  Colonel Mustard will likely go with two-TE set again with Vernon and Olsen leading the team in points scored in week 1.

Derivatives for Sale are:

Celebrity Jeopardy: Trix WIN over Girlz AND James WIN over PolkHigh (20 bb)

Two-And-O: Girlz WIN over Trix AND PolkHigh WIN over James AND BDT WIN over Pelican AND Nauts WIN over Shock (50 bb)

Rivalry Week in WEEK 2

Rivalry Week Set in Week 2!

The following rivalry games will be played in Week 2.  That's right, it's next week.  Why wait when we can have it now.

The proposed match-ups are as following, with series records in parentheses. 

BuldingDW3LL1NGTh1nk1ng vs The Pelican Brief (Cali Bowl) (6-2)

-German philosophers lead this historical series 6-2, but the bitter rivalry is usually played out to the end as suggested by the week 13 match last season that was decided by a mere 1 point.  Grishamites look to snap 3-game regular season losing streak to BDT and defeat Chico Boyz for the first time since the third-place game in 2010 season.

Phat Girlz vs Trichotillomaniacs  (Bushwick Bowl) (3-2)

-Girlz lead this long-running feud 3-2 that was originally fought across the hallway of First East Belk in 1998.  Monique handed the General his last defeat in the final regular season match before the East Siderz won out the playoffs en route to 2013 championship. 

SanFranciscoFerries vs TakingTigerMountain (NYU.tv Bowl) (3-3)

-Two storied franchises proud themselves on solid titration year in and year out will battle it out in this straight-up dog fight.  The two have engaged in five regular season matches and one playoff match, being squared at 3-3.  Ferries' last year's win over TigerMountain ignited the impressive record-setting nine-game regular season winning streak for them after an 0-4 start. 

Polk High Panthers vs Homoerasmus James (Peach Bowl) (0-0)

-The black soil of Atlanta still smolders from Civil War memories, and that will be battle grounds for this newest rivalry of PSAS.  Why, land is the only thing in the world ...

AEthernauts vs Shock_Pick (Class of '04 Bowl) (3-2)

-There's probably more to these two franchises, but my memory is hazy from those days.  I think it was Schmader and Brian that then-our-roommate Jay Hollis found rummaging through our fridge in Hart 104 in the wee hours of a weekday morning.  Maybe it was someone else (pretty sure one was Schmader, the other could have been Garrett or Kiichi, who knows).  Mirroring recent troubles for the psych dog franchise, Nauts are riding on a three-game winning streak over the Shock. 

HomeSpunNeckBloodz vs Dijonnaise All-Stars (Barclay Center Bowl) (1-0)

-The battle of Brooklyn fancy condos is currently scheduled to take place consecutively in Week 2 and Week 3, the only possible wrinkle to this idea.  Or we could see an epic rivalry emerge from back-to-back match-ups. 


Since I know some of you better than the others and some of you I don't know much about at all, if there are other suggestions or ideas, let me know and I'll take into consideration and make adjustments.  If you stay quiet, this will be how it is.

Rivalry Week Quake Confirmed: Limits of Human Titration to be Tested

The worst catastrophe in the history of the league is confirmed as the Week 10 Rivalry Fault slipped and subducted today leading to a buckle between Miletus and Ephesus. After consulting for hours via teleconference with the Pythian and Delian oracles, the Commissioner has determined that the Earth-shaker has demanded a rematch of the Week 4 tie between BuildingDwellingThinking and Dethroned King. Sources close to the Office have quoted the Sybills as uttering hexameters "Polemos brooks no ties / Brothers to war must out / Illian plains prepare / playoff life battle-won"

As of press time officers of the PEMA were mobilizing relief funds to help the affected teams on tonight's waiver wire. Victim-bystanders in this violent shift are Pelican Brief and Tusken Raiders who will play each-other. What effect this massive upheaval can have on the playoffs is unknown at this time, but it is certain that this will now become the gate-keeper to several teams fate in the wild card and doubtless the largest ratings grab for the PSAS this year. Keep tuned to FHTTGAP for 24/7 aftershock watch.

BREAKING: Tremors Hint of Rivalry Week Shake Up

Early reports from Euboea within the realm of Poseidon, Earth-Shaker, indicate that a major shift of Rivalry Week match-ups week may be imminent. The Week 10 Fault, so-called Rivalry Week Ridge, has been long thought to be dormant. However, seismic indications appear to show a slip along the fault. "As of now we don't know how far the fault will shift, but all indications point toward some scheduling change," local spokesman for the deity, Phillipous Ennogigaios said. As of press time the Primordial Emergency Management Association (PEMA) had begun marshaling resources to aide the Ionian colonists of the Milesian division, whose franchises lie closer to the fault. Leaked chatter from the office of the Reserve Chairman suggested that a reserve coffers might be opened to those teams affected on a limited basis. Stay tuned to FHTTGAP for all the news on the impending disaster.
