Santa Barbara Raider Fans Fantasy Football League

That's how you end a losing streak. Both the Santa Barbara Fokkers and the Wea ver won their first games of the season. The Fokkers passed the century mark in their domination of the the Hill Billies while the Wea ver handled the Cupcakes. Meanwhile, the Milk and River each saw their two-game winning streaks snapped as they were each handed their first L of the year. The Cheese are on top. The Hill Billies are not. -Josh  Rozelle 1. Nacho's Cheese  (Mark Diaz) Last week:  Won 52-45 over the Big Boss Record:  3-0 Week 2 Ranking:  2 The Cheese posted the third lowest score of the weekend, but their opponents, the Big Boss, had the second lowest total.  It wasn't pretty, but all that matters is the W.  2.

So these rankings may look a lot different in a few weeks. -Josh  Rozelle 1. Brooklyn Milk  (Rick Reid) Last week:  Won 132-87 over the Hill Billies Record:  2-0 Week 1 Ranking:  2 2.

Week 3: Can I Kick It? Yes...

You heard it right. Despite all the hubbub of the waning popularity of football in ‘apple pie’ country, according to a 2018 Gallup Poll, NFL football ranked as the most popular American sport to watch by being selected by 37% of those polled. While that percentage is down,  perhaps  due to CTE or  proclaimed  anti-American protests, from 43% in 2006 and 2007, when compared with basketball (11%) and baseball (9%), I wouldn’t exactly say that NFL suits are shakin’ in their boots. At least, that is, until last week and, especially thanks to the slippery slippers of Cleveland’s Zane Gonzalez and Minnesota’s Daniel Carlson.
