Nation, we have a problem. I always thought of this blog as a way for us to interact. I dreamed of it as place that would incite pages upon pages of smack talk, yo-moma jokes, and/or the periodic I-Hate-Billy-Cueto-So-Fucking-Much-That...digs. None of this has happened. I feel as if I am writing into a vacuum, a vacuum of, to be blunt, boring Nationers. None of us are boring as individuals, believe me, I know, but as a collective, as a movement, as a Fantasy Football League I fear we are dull. It hurts. It sucks. I blame Billy Cueto.
So it goes.
Here are your rankings, if you care.
Division 1 W-L-T
2. God Hearts Sackbangs 3-0-0
4. TheFightingFighters 2-1-0
6. The Buck Nasty 1-2-0
8. TheSwineFlu 1-2-0
10. Person of God 1-2-0
11. Marshall 1-2-0
Division 2
1. Brew City Bombers 3-0-0
3. The Warriors 2-1-0
5. The Mayhem! 2-1-0
7. Thunderhorses 1-2-0
9. TheGreenPointAttack! 1-2-0
12. Gillemonster 0-3-0
We have some wonderful, and what will more than likely turn out to be very close match-ups this week. Both the 3-0-0 teams, God Hearts Sackbags and Brew City Bombers, battle each other for ChopStar Nation 2012 domination...at least for the first month.
Cheer-up all you 2-1-0 and 1-2-0 teams, and even you 0-3-0 team, for the season is still young and it is still anyone's game. You can still be in this to win it. You're still boring as fuck, but we can work on that too.
Cheers,

Week 1 Recap, Week 2 Predictions
We here at the Nation's HQ can't lie: we're a bit drunk, needing some sweet booze to help take a bit of the sting out of tough Week 1 for us. Defying all expectations and predictions, The Buck Nasty lost in Week 1. Lost to an autopicked sad-sack, no less. Who would have thought Chicago's geriatric DEF would actually play well? Not us. Young buck, Andy Luck, sure did suck. So it goes.
Six teams won, six teams lost. So it still goes. Things divide pretty slickly here after the first week, the top six rankings won last weekend, while the last six rankings all lost. Things will get more complicated next week. Promise.
Here our rankings after Week 1:
The Swine Flu vs. Marshall: It is our league leader versus, well versus Marshall. Leaving Marshawn Lynch on the bench was a mistake in Week 1 that Marshall will not likely repeat, which, along with Pierre Garcon and a more useful Wes Welker, could be just what the Marshalls will need to make it to 1-1 for the season. But, the Flu's monster WR corps might just have something to say about that. Flu's receivers will play well, but we at the Nation HQ think the Flu's running backs will be lucky to combine to make one Lynch, thus giving Marshall their first win and The Swine Flu their first loss.
The Warriors vs. Thunderhorses: The battle for #2 versus #4. Thunderhorses will have to bench Fred Jackson this week, leaving them with conundrum of who to start: Greene, Benson, or Bush. Last weeks smart money would have been on Bush, but betting on Chicago's RB2 is always a bit iffy. The Nation votes for Greene, but we also voted for Nader*, so what do we know? The Warriors bench is thin, so they really have no one to reach back for, so they will most likely roll the dice with the team Yahoo autopicked for them, so close your eyes, plug your nose, and start praying Philip Rivers plays more like a true top ten QB. Prediction: Thunderhorses come away with win number two, and take over the first place in the ChopStar Nation.
TheFightingFighters vs. Person of God: Let's face it, Person of God pretty much stinks. Adrian Peterson sitting on the bench last week did not do them any favors. Leaving two WRs with record weeks on the bench didn't help either. These are problems that will probably not be repeated this week. Luckily just making one of these replacements should be enough to make this into a game. It will be the battle of the #1 Tight End (Graham) vs. the #2 Tight End (Gronkowski). We give the win for Week 2 to Person of God. How can we vote against a Person of God, even if, like we said before, they stink?
Brew City Bombers vs. TheGreenpointAttack!: TheGreenpointers lost Week 1 in a real nail-biter. Their bench is thin, but their starting line-up is mighty, so with no injuries to speak of and Peyton Manning looking...well, like Peyton Manning, they should make little changes in who they play in Week 2. The Bombers should get a healthier and more active TE Witten in Week 2, so they may look to put him in. CJ Spiller may put up some outstanding numbers again, so they may look to get him into the game. Their are a lot of questions here and we do not envy the coach of the Bombers and their many decisions. Either way, we think The Bombers receivers will out-perform their opponents yet again and roll on to go 2-0 after Week 2.
God Hearts Sackbags vs. The Buck Nasty: League leading Matty Ryan was pretty much solely responsible for the Sackbags victory last week. Greg Little's goose-egg didn't help. Luckily, for the Sackbags they have the old-man, Randy Moss, to fall back to. For The Buck Nasty, their hate-hate relationship with Chris Johnson has already started. The lamenting of that first round pick started earlier than any of us thought possible. This one is a bit of crap-shoot, but we here at the Nation can't vote against ourselves, even if we have to vote against something that God may actually love...all being said...The Buck Nasty licks their wounds after a dismal Week 1 and stomp on the Sackbags in record breaking fashion. Apologies to God in advance.
Gillemonster vs. The Mayhem!: 8th place vs. 10th place. What will happen with these two? Lucky for the Gillemonsters that they get Ryan Matthews back...supposedly. That will help. Mark Ingram seems to not like playing professional football very much, so getting him out of their starting line-up as quickly as possible can be nothing but helpful. And The Mayhem!...oh, The Mayhem!. It is like all your WRs want to play like Mark Ingram. They suck. Just saying. Ryan Matthews, Tony Romo and a little running back that goes by the name of Matt Forte will be just enough for Gillemonster to overcome The Mayhem!, despite The Mayhem!'s money RBs. Just saying, again.
So their you have it, Week 2 in a nutshell. All Nationers, please be sure to go HERE to do your weekly League Pick 'Em votes. You need to do this before the Chicago Bears play Green Bay's Packers this Thursday night.
This has been E. Tyler Lindvall, your CSNFFLC. Peace!!!
* Just joking, it would have been fucking crazy to vote for Nader, right?

The Day After...
Well, Nationers, it is Labor Day, better known as the Day After the 2012 ChopStar Nation Live Online Draft. There was an unprecedented lack of participation this year. Only five online drafters bothered to log in. Thanks to Marshall, Thunderhorses (logging in from vacation, no less), TheSwineFlu, and the Gillemonsters for joining me last night. Apparently, there was some confusion about the Central Time versus Eastern Time for our one drafter up in Milwaukee, so the Brew City Bombers stormed in late and quickly stormed back out, but he will soon be thanking the autopicking gods for LeSean McCoy and Julio Jones. But, where was our Austin drafter? Where were our Brooklyn boys? We now have a guy out in Queens, and he was nowhere to be found. To be fair, they may not have the internet out in Queens yet, so he could have been rushing his way back to Brooklyn, desperately trying to log on. Who knows? Apparently our LA drafters were working, which is suspect, because I was recently out in LA and it seemed to me that no one worked out there. Beach bums galore.
Anyway, let's all move onward and upward. Let's hope our missing brothers in the draft are happy with their computer picked teams, or at the very least they can step up and make some trades and do some drops/adds to customize their teams into something they can grow to love.
The New York City Giants play the Dallas Cowboys this Wednesday, thus kicking off another wonderful year in the ChopStar Nation. Enjoy.
Log on and check out your team HERE. Let me know if you have any questions.
