Monkeys Acquire Jimmy Smith

A few hours after beating a seemingly dominant Buffy team, Monkey's GM Evan Shiue along with team management issued a press release announcing a three player trade which brought over star receiver Jimmy Smith for quarterback Brett Favre and young wide receiver Jerome Pathon.

Management spoke to media late last night, "We are very pleased to have Jimmy Smith on board. Jimmy is obviously an established receiver and we expect him to take a leadership position on this club. We wish the best for Brett and Jerome. Brett has been inspiring but with Peyton Manning at the helm, it was difficult for our coaches to find playing time for Brett. Jerome had been terrific for our club and his work ethic was phenomenal. Jerome has a bright future and should fit in well with the young Green Team. Both players along with this trade in general was made possible only with the spectacular scouting ability of this team. While Brett was a steal at the ninth round of the Draft, Jerome was signed just a few days ago. A fabulous job all around."

Things are looking significantly brighter for the Monkey organization as they posted their second straight win. Incresasing their point total in each week, a win over Buffy shows the Monkeys' ability to not only beat up on the league's weaker teams (Birds) but also its ability seriously challenge the stronger teams on top.

After the game, quarterback Peyton Manning spoke to reporters about the game. "We played fabulously. The people that needed to step up, stepped up. Shaun and LT, those guys are going to carry the team -- no question. With Fred Taylor itching to get back on the field, I have no question that running will be the forte of this team. I look forward to teaming up with Jimmy in the future. Sure the unit is young, but these guys have immense talent."

Scouting Report --
Management has reportedly been ecstatic with the development of young runningback Shaun Alexander. However, with the imminent return of superstar Fred Taylor, the Monkey management will have an over-abundance of talent. With Tomlinson having solidified his starting position, who will start alongside Tomlinson? Sources close to management indicate that Taylor will start despite the dominating performance last week by Alexander.
