After a 3 year hiatus, I'm coming back and unlike our boy Tiki Barber, there's no one to tell me I can't. It seems as though the league has had some turmoil and upheaval in the off season and our new commish is getting treated like he's Roger Goodell on fire in front of James Harrison, never fear though as I'm here to add a little life and humor to your grumpy-pants fantasy league. I mean, seriously, you guys realize this league is supposed to be fun, right? Anyways, we just had a draft (someone should tell the Black Hand next time) so I think it's time to start up the weekly power rankings again. So, without further ado, here's how you all suck compared to me!
- Centreville Red Dogs - In case you didn't know it, in my rankings you stay #1 until someone takes you out. Good luck peasants!
- Sixteen in The Clip - The explosive potential of this lineup is outstanding, but so is the injury potential. Mike "PuppyLuv" Vick missed games to an injury last season, Dez Bryant missed half of last season shopping for jewelry with his pants around his ankles and Reggie Wayne is old as dirt (32!!!) and doesn't have Peyton throwing to him for at least a week or two. I love the depth here at RB with the ADP and Frank Gore in the stable. I'm concerned however with the QB position. Andy Dalton and Kevin Kolb are not the guys I'd want to depend on if PuppyLuv goes down for the season.
- Short Bus Bullies - I like this team as a potential dynasty team. With Freeman at QB and Roddy White at WR, along with Lee Evans and Jamaal Charles, I think there's a lot of potential here. I don't mind the bench play either with Plax trying to do his best Vick imitation, Peyton Hillis trying to prove he belongs on the cover of Madden and even McNabb as the backup QB. I think the Bullies might finally get out of the crapper this year.
- Nova Sunshine - What's not to like about Drew Brees and Andre Johnson? Nothing of course. I just worry about the RBs here. MoJo is nice, but who's the QB in Jax now that they cut Garrard? Luke McCown? Yeah, in other words, hey MoJo, get ready for 500 carries this year!
- Havoc - Chris Johnson, Matty Ice, Fitz...I like this lineup at first.
Then I get to the backups. Roy Williams? Brandon Jacobs? Ricky
Williams? What is this? The has-been fantasy league? The idea in a
keeper league is to get YOUNGER not OLDER Brian. - Nova Pumas - The Pumas got younger this year, except for Grandpa Manning. Aside from neck bone's injury, I love the starting lineup this week for the pussycats. Schaub, Santonio 'That's Not My Joint' Holmes, Dwayne Bowe, LeSean McCoy and the list goes on. The Pumas got younger this year overall, and may have gotten better.
- Bristow Twins - The Twins will finally find their way out the dark, back corner of the college town club this year, thanks ironically to their top QB, Big Ben Rapelisberger. I loved their second pick of Rashard Mendenhall, however I think they could have waited to take a QB later on and gotten a higher quality WR to support a team on the upswing.
- Green Helmets - The new commish had a good draft, but was it good enough? Rivers and Rice are nice, but Best and Foster are oft injured. Headache Harvin will miss several starts for him and I'm just not a big believer in any Baltimore WRs. The depth on this team concerns me.
- Angry Amish - The Amish should be ranked higher than 8th, and with Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings maybe I'm doing them a disservice putting them so low. However, after that I just don't think they have the star power to compete. Ocho is old, Marshall's QB has no arm and Todd Heap got cut by the Ravens?! It'll take more than bringing your kid to the draft to get sympathy from me!
- Black Hand - Zero star power on this team. Romo hasn't proven anything, I don't believe in Hakeem Nicks this year and Steven Davis will suffer this year because of the lack of, well an offense. And Ryan Grant? Did anyone tell the hand he almost got cut this year? I do however this DeSean Jackson is a nice pickup and might keep him out of the cellar. But I doubt it.
Now, before you get all mad, I give you Tiki:

Foster is oft injured? He's never missed a game.
Okay, so maybe OFT injured is a stretch, but the man has been hurting this preseason.
I'm glad you brought this back btw
