Chick Fantasies

Week 3 Fantasies

Like the rest of the nation, our minds have been focused on things other than football in recent days. Our favorite passion appears suddenly trivial when so much evil and fear is infiltrating our world. Although it’s difficult to move forward, we know that it’s best for everyone to allow themselves the diversion of being entertained. As we struggle to return to our normal routine, we are looking forward to Sunday when we can kick back and watch the greatest sport on earth. It won’t solve any of our country’s problems, but it will give us a much-needed distraction from an otherwise solemn week. Here in Chickland, we are definitely ready for some football.

Fantasy Studs:
Ty Detmer: Sometimes a change is just what it takes to perk up a droopy unit. When Batch couldn’t get the job done, the Lions wasted no time turning to Ty. Although he’s never been a super-stud, Ty is seasoned and can play some consistent ball. As he and his mates are taking on the wimpy Cleveland boys, Detmer should have the perfect opportunity to strut his stuff and make his coach look like a hero.
Ahman Green: In Week 1 the overpaid ‘Skins got their butts handed to them by a rookie. Tomlinson ripped through Washington’s defense for 113 yards and 2 scores. If an NFL virgin could have a field day against the ‘Skins, just imagine what this experienced scoring machine can accomplish!
Randy Moss: The Viking’s randy receiver has had 2 weeks to brood over his humiliating encounter with the Panthers. Those Carolina boys denied Moss from having any of his usual fun. This week Randy is aching to make up for lost time and slobber all over the poor Bears. And when Randy wants something bad enough, no one can stand in his way!
Curtis Martin: This former Patsie certainly has the studly looks, but he’s never been a favorite with us chicks. His yards per carry average really isn’t beefy enough to warrant his stellar reputation. But this lad is a workhorse and his hard efforts will pay off when he gets to break loose on his ex. Everyone wants to look their best when they run into their ex. And as luck may have it for Curtis, everyone looks their best when they run against the Pats.

Fantasy Duds:
Jimmy Smith: In Week 1, Jimmy lit up the scoreboards with his spectacular play. And we’re not surprised – Jimmy is as smokin’ as they come. But he’s going to have to get used to the agony of rejection this week as he goes up against the rock solid Titans. After losing at home, the Tennessee boys are going to be out for blood.
Rich Gannon: Gannon’s luscious cannon will be misfiring as he visits the insatiable Miami boys. Despite being an old man, Rich has been playing with the spunk of a teenager. But this week the Miami heat will be a bit more than the old geezer can handle.
