IN OTHER FANTASY NEWS...

Avid fantasy football player Jeremy Franklin, who owns & manages the Curley Wolves, has taken a huge leap this year by investing in 3 other teams. Mr. Franklin also owns the Rebels of the Yahoo league FGB 2007, the Rebel Wild of the Yahoo league UFL 2007, and the fantasy version of the Indianapolis Colts in the 32 team league NFLFFL. Of course everyone knows that the Curley Wolves won both of their games this weekend, but many may not realize that Mr. Franklin's other teams all won their games as well. That brings his fantasy football win total to a whopping 5 wins in just the first week of play! Things are really starting to look up for this owner/general manager. We're proud to announce him as GM of the Week. Look out fantasy football world, I think Mr. Franklin wants to "own" you.

Perfect Start

It looks like the Curley Wolves are in the driver's seat in the Juggernaut division after taking a commanding lead over their divisional opponents. This "perfect start" follows up on their "perfect" draft. The Wolves were able to win both games in the Fox's Fantasy Football League's double-header match-ups on Sunday. In their first home game of the season the Wolves put a 50 point beat-down on the Agate Types, winning 174 to 124. In the 2nd game of this week, on the road at Las Cruces, the Wolves won convincingly over the Powder Puffs 169-141. This game was closer than the score suggests though & the Curley Wolves are glad for the victory. Many of the Powder Puffs players had a down week and the Wolves are thankful they won't have to meet them again later in the season. Don't be surprised if you see these two teams matched up in the playoffs at some time.
Paving the way for the 2 victories, 7 of the Curley Wolves 9 starters scored in double digits. Team owner Jeremy Franklin is somewhat disappointed that starting running back Willie Parker did not score a touchdown, however, he points to veteran flex player Edgerrin James as the "spark" that brought home the win late Monday night. Franklin had this to say- "We are all so pleased that after four years of franchising the "Edge," he was available to us in this year's draft. It was unfortunate that we had to trade him last season when he was terrible, but we are thankful to have him back home now where he belongs. We look forward to him bringing us many more 19 point games this season." Not to be outdone by the wiley veteran, 2nd year man Joseph Addai put up 25 points and franchise quarterback Carson Palmer added 41 points against a tough Ravens defense. Team MVP honors go to the defense, where in a near shut-out Pittsburgh squashed Cleveland's offense holding them to only 7 points. Their 36 points were icing on the cake for the Curley Wolves. Let this be a notice to all those in the FFFL- the Wolves are on the prowl!
