The Not as bad as Blick Tier: Joe, whiteford, xadam
8. Hoosgow 2-1 -- 272.2 pts (Joe; 12 in the post draft rankings)
So, I was kind of off on Joe originally, but mostly just because I like to rank Joe low because he always makes a mistake in the draft. Or calls me 2 minutes before the draft starts with questions like, "how does drafting work?" Despite his current rank at 8, I have evidence to show his team is indeed awful.
- Brett Favre is his qb
- Ryan matthews is hurt and might have lost his job to a fullback.
- On his bench, he has Antonio Bryant, who apparently plays on the nfl team "FA"
- He also has Early Doucet on his bench (who is OUT for quite a while) instead of in his IR spot (or released).
Yay, Joe! Also, I play Joe this week while AP is on bye. Son of a bitch.
7. Nude Tayne 2-1 -- 271.1 total points (whiteford; 5 in the post draft rankings)
Poor, poor, whiteford. He won the league last year, and came into this season with a huge cock on his shoulder. After the draft, I ranked him 5th because I thought he paid "too much for Grant; he sucks." Oh, how true it was. Well, I'll forgive the huge price you paid for him since he suffered a season ending injury. But...his starting QB got injured as well, and then benched for Ron Mexico. Oh, Andre Johnson was hurt last game as well. Wait, he also blew his free agent load on Brandon Jackson ($92) who gained 12 yards on 7 carries last week and lost his job to some white fullback named John Kuhn. Yikes. Whiteford is 2-1, and despite winning a nailbiter with Trey last week, I predict a freefall to Blick/Beb territory. However, whiteford is an active owner, so maybe he can add some good players from the waiver wire (oh wait...he has no free agent money).
6. Terrible Terry Tate 2-1 -- 291.1 pts (xadam; 4 in the post draft rankings)
The new guy has done fairly well so far. He beat Dekker and Steuber, but lost to Hoosgow (that always hurts). However, there are 3 key reasons why he gets put in this middle tier.
- He and whiteford are gay for each other so they need to be ranked together.
- I hate vince Young
- I'm not sold on Ray Rice
Rice might pick it up and rush just like he did last year. However, he just seems slower and injury prone this year. I'm not sure the 24th rb in the league is earning his $63 dollar draft price tag.
I'll be combining the last 2 tiers in part 3 tomorrow.

(this is continued from the last post's comment thread):
i feel like power rankings should reflect on how scared you would be to play the team in any given week (i.e. how 'powerful' are they?). if you're ranking them on likelihood of success (i.e. this team sucks but they're 3-0 so they're more likely to make the playoffs), then maybe you should say that they're predicted results, not rankings.
ps. my word verification is "tured," which is how charles barkley feels at the end of a long day.
I understand your point. However, wouldn't the likelihood of success be equivalent with how afraid you would be to face them? If I say a team is going to be really good for the rest of the year and rank them high, I think I would be scared to face them. In conclusion, Joe is bad.
when barkely starts to get "tured" he just does some more blow, gets a bj in his car from a $5 hooker and gets back to the blackjack table.
