His three amigos
Chuck White, 34, of Rochester used his flex position to start three amigos, er wide receivers, instead of a third running back, and watched his team, Duck's Dudes, win its Week No. 2 insider fantasy football game by scoring 152 points.
White got monster performances from Steve Smith, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Joey Galloway, who combined for 357 yards receiving and scored a whopping seven touchdowns.
"I've always been one who looks more at playing three wide receivers rather than three running backs," says White. "I just find that it's more entertaining to watch all the games that way every Sunday."
White's running backs are Carnell Williams, Michael Pittman, Mike Bell, Dominic Rhodes and Sammy Morris.
"Besides, have you seen my roster? Most of my running backs are, just like me ... watching the game," White says. "Of course, they have a better view of it from the bench!"
White's starting tight end, Kellen Winslow, also had a strong performance with 100 yards receiving and one touchdown.

Quick takes
So Jamal Lewis busted loose for 216 yards last week but I'd trade him if he was on my team and try to get something better. His next four games are against teams with tough defenses: Oakland, Baltimore, New England and Miami. Not easy.
Expect Steve Jackson (157 total yards and 0 touchdowns) and LaDainain Tomlinson, who is averaging 1.9 yards per carry to turn things around. Jackson plays against Tampa Bay, while Tomlinson goes against Green Bay this week.
Tampa Bay quarterback Jeff Garcia (116.8 QB rating) and Houston quarterback Matt Schaub (111.4 QB rating) are both completing more than 67 percent of their passes. Expect more of the same this week, Garcia plays St. Louis and Schaub goes up against Indianapolis. We'll see if the 2-0 Texans are for real this week.
Buffalo's Lee Evans has only four catches. Unfortunately for Bill's fans, I don't expect things to get much better. Buffalo plays New England this week. After that it's the Jets, Cowboys, and Ravens.
Smack talk
Last week, Don Wolfe's team, Rochacha Jets, jumped out to a quick 1-0 start, while Mark Miller's Team Miller went 0-1. The two teams were separated by 111 points.
After Week No. 2, both teams are now 1-1, with Team Miller scoring 130 points with a 200-yard game from Jamal Lewis and six touchdowns from Carson Palmer.
Miller described the game on the league’s chat board as "the feel-good story of the year, a true modern-day David-and-Goliath matchup."
"Yes, that's right true believers, this week, in our very own league, we had the pleasure of watching as the 12-seed systematically dismantled Don (the sacrificial lamb) Wolfe," Miller wrote. "Team Miller unloaded on (the Rochacha Jets), who probably, thought that (Tony) Romo would bail him out again. Jamal Lewis shocked the naysayers in the NFL as well as our league."
The replies:
Miller's comment did receive some replies on the league's ESPN Web site. Here are some of them:
"At least Rudy played on a team with an actual nickname ... aka Fighting Irish! It wasn't Team Ruettiger..."
- Chuck White
"Hey Chuck, what are you doing, a little late night drunken typing, all your posts are at 2 a.m. This is Rochester, not Mayberry, Otis, so take it easy before the sheriff makes you sleep it off in one of the cells.
P.S. You might want to bolster your running backs a little - they are laughable at best. It's a good thing you have three receivers who went nuts this week, because starting (Carnell) Williams along with (Michael) Pittman is a fools errand, or should we call it a 'Chuck's errand' from now on.
Prediction: Four wins for you at best, even with (Peyton) Manning, your running backs are atrocious! You'll be in the toilet bowl with your pansy-ass logo (Donald the Duck). What are you, like five years old? You sure seem like an infant with a lobotomy, or a dolt if u will. Smarten up pudding head, don't you know running backs win these leagues!"
- Mark Miller
"I think the only thing that's laughable is how bent you got over my comment! I can only imagine if I would've wasted more of my time on you ... I had just gotten home from work ... ignoramus."
- Chuck White
"I am glad that you got your first win behind a freakish game. How often will your players be involved in one of the five-highest scoring games in NFL history? Lewis for 200 yards ... that happens once every four years ... Now enjoy the fall back down to the 12th seed."
