League newcomer Ronnie Dukes created quite a splash with his homage to the Minnesota Vikings draft room on draft day. After much consternation, Dukes drafted Montario Hardesty, who promptly blew out his knee a week later - a rude welcome indeed. After some roster twiddling, Dukes heads into week 1 with a fat question mark at running back (Jacobs) and someone named "Austin Collie" in his flex position. More unfortunately, he plays the defending champions; more unfortunately for Ronnie, the injury bug has not yet bitten the relocated Apples. But once Jamaal Charles limps off the field on Monday night, Ronnie will likely appreciate what all of us know already: the Apples are the Anna Kournikova of this league - looks good, but never wins - oh wait, that joke doesn't work any more.

Oedipus Rex Ryan v. Crimson Pride
Patric should take a look around for Chris Hansen of To Catch a Predator fame. While most teams choose experienced running backs to stock the most important position on the field, Patric went with 2 rookies (Spiller, Matthews) and a second year player (Jones). Add Percy Harvin to the mix, and a heart to heart interview with Hansen is probably just around the corner. Peyton Manning is not only the team leader here, he's also the team dad. And he will need to take the kids to McDonalds to bury their sorrow after taking a look on the chin in week one to an Oedipus team led by an emerging Kevin Kolb
