Early Season Review: Part 2

What has Monkey GM Evan been crowing about the last few years? Realignment? Because the Spunky Misunderstood Geniuses were too weak? Well how the pendulum swings! Granted, it's early, but the SMGs have come out gunning, with 3 geniuses sitting atop the power rankings. Let's take a look:

FOBSTERS (2-1):
Last year's surprise team is hurting early, as Golden Boy Tom Brady goes down in the 1st game of the season. Well they've scrambled well, picking up Matt "This isn't High School" Cassell and new Lambeau Lifer Aaron Rodgers. After the tough loss to start out the season, the Brady Bunch has rallied around Human Highlight Reggie Bush and Calvin Megatron to carve out the top place on the power rankings. Can they survive keeping 3 QBs on staff?

FAT JUBAS (2-1):
133-40. With a near record (114 pts by Phreaks over Green in 04) 93 point victory in week 3 over Ante Up, the Fat Jubas have served notice that this isn't the same Juba team. Even more amazingly, the Jubas have done this with three ineffective keepers, as Marques Colston and Ryan Grant are dinged up and Derek Anderson is suffering from ineptitude. No matter. Led by a trio of former Monkeys, the Jubas feature a devastating RB combo of Frank Gore and Turner the Burner along with The Marshall at wide. The addition of ageless pickup Kurt Warner means the Jubas only need to secure a few extra solid players to be a contender.

PHILADEPHIA PHREAKS (2-1):
The oft-cursed Phreaks are flying high! With McNabb back under center and looking as good as ever, the Phreaks are solid from top to bottom. Mojo and Marshawn pack a huge punch, while 1st pick rookie Darren McFadden looks like he's on the verge of exploding. DeSean Jackson, another pleasant rookie surprise, stars at wide receiver despite a boneheaded early celebration in a game the Phreaks weren't close in anyway. Once Roy Williams starts kicking it in gear, watch out. But will the Phreaks injury curse hit them this year?

GREEN TEAM (1-2):
The defending co-champs are having a rough go of it in the early going. After a convincing win over division rival Fat Jubas to kick off the season, the Green Team has sputtered, losing big to the other division leaders. What looked like such a dominant WR core to start off the season suddenly looks vulnerable, with Randy Moss reverting to bad Randy and Plaxico getting suspended for unspecified reasons. At least Hines Ward is doing his part, turning back the clock. The running backs are still solid, with Frankenstein and Thomas Jones leading the way, but sitting Ronnie Brown for his 42 point explosion hurts.

BATTLE ANGEL (0-3):
Luck hasn't been on the side of the only winless team in the league, with losses of 5 and 11 points to start out the season. Highlights have been hard to come by for the Angel, with Drew Brees and Greg Jennings the only consistent performers. But all is not gloom and doom here, as the solid WR combo of Jennings and Andre Johnson has just been bolstered by the return of Steve Smith from suspension. The acquisition of dynamite Darren Sproles shows that GM Vu is desperately trying to inject some life into his team (since starting RBs Willis McGahee and Laurence Maroney have been terrible), but will it be enough?
