Week 2: Review
The featured matchup of the week between Serkus vs. Eggers never materialized as a Foster vs. C. Johnson showdown. Instead, Serkus' QB Schaub HOU went nuts for 18 Finks points.
From Serkus owner Stan Goff: "The big Foster vs. Chris Johnson showdown turned out to be a scoreless draw, but Foster's off day did lead Schaub to throw 3 TDs and close to 500 yards. So with Schaub (18) and Gore (17) leading the way, the Serkus Act reports a 58-40 victory. So my Fantasy season is off to a 2-0 start but my real-life Cowboys are 0-2 with a schedule that includes the Texans, Saints, Packers and the NFC East still ahead....when do the Blackhawks start?"

Our first trade
Good friends Kris Herigodt of the Brawlers and Joanna Terracciano of vb5ds pulled off the League's first trade of the season with a mini-blockbuster. Can you have a "mini-blockbuster"?
Anyways, Herigodt sent QB Favre MIN and PK Gostkowski NE to vb5ds for QB Rogers GB. Vb5ds chose to go with QB P. Manning IND as their starter and solved its no PK problem by getting one of the NFL's best. Herigodt upgraded at QB with Rogers over Favre.
Since both owners are in the Elway Division, the trade will be interesting with their two divisional meetings to come.

Week 1: Review
Defending champion Serkus Act jumped out to a convincing 55-33 win over Eye of Newt in Week 1 by having the luck or brains to actually use RB Foster HOU, who scored 27 points and was helped by the new expanded scoring key of nine points awarded for rushing over 200 yards.
As Serkus owner Stan Goff explains: "I wasn't smart enough to use Foster in my other league, but thank goodness I did in Finks play."
And so, we're off...

Notes from our annual auction
Welcome to our 17th season of Finks League football. We also had our silent-bid auction for the 17th time and every year there is always something of interest. When I came up with the idea to start the league, from the beginning I wanted to come up with a way to avoid the long draft process of everybody in the same room, or some of you by phone. At the time, Matt Simo and my brother Mike were not living in the Chicago area so the auction was the way to go.
I still love it because I think in makes the Finks League different from all other fantasy football leagues. This year there were a puzzling number of bid sheets that lacked depth, thus I believe we have a record number of blank roster spots at QB, RB and PKs.
A few other notes:

A few other notes:
- The most popular player by far was QB Schaub HOU (pictured right), who had three teams list him as their No. 1 QB choice: Posse, Newt and Serkus.
- The most exciting bidding battle was for QB Brees NO, the Super Bowl MVP. Sharks went with $27.23 and Eggers went with $27.02.
- Everyone would love to have RB C. Johnson TEN on their roster. The Eggers made the highest bid of the draft spending $45.02 to nab Johnson.
