A BADASS WEEK TWO.
...but don't show me your 1 pointers.
This report comes live from Candlestick Park.
Week Two in the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl, and we needed the results of Monday night to work out most of the winners and losers this week.
The defending champions, the Dragons, after being bitten in Week 1, toppled league leaders, the Helmand Nighthawks. After scoring 98 points through Sunday afternoon, the Dragons had to hold their breath and wait to see how good the Colts defense was. The younger Manning's touchdown pass to Manningham assured the Colts defense would only score 19 points, and let the Dragons beat the Bowl favorites, the Nighthawks 98-89.
The same pass had implications in 3 other games. The Mudville Nine (1-0) fielded the Giants defense against the Green Beans, but the Beans would still need their QB Drew Brees two passing TD's to put the Mudville away 90-83.
The Ded Poets (1-0) had scored 84 points even before the Sunday afternoon games got underway, but, they still had to wait for the BP Badasses, who earlier in the week had dropped Pierre Thomas. Apparently, the boys in the locker room had decided his ass was not bad enough, and sent the pretty boy packing. The Badasses relied on both Eli Manning and the 49ers defense to eventually score a narrow ass win 85.87 - 84.23 over the Poets.
Not close enough? For the second time this season, Show Me Your TD's has had another heart breaking loss. Last week it was .9 points, this week the Reapers edged past to win by 1.09 points. Even with Phillip Rivers throwing for 334 yards, Coach Mookie was quick to point out "We're the best damm 0-2 team in the league."
Although only two weeks into the season, eyes are now looking at the Broncolo's, who tussled the whole way with the Wild Boston Terrier...until Frank Gore rushed for 112 yards and 7 receptions. The Broncolo's and the Badasses sit atop the Sub Simmers division, while in the surface skimmers, both Every Given Sunday and the Australian Taipans are a game clear of the Nighthawks and the Dragons.
Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.
In Week Two, there were several candidates, including Javid Best rushing for 78yards and 9 receptions. In a marginal choice however, for his effort of 499 yards and 3 passing TD's, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Matt Schaub of the Australian Taipans, the Week Two MVT.
