"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Welcome to Extra Mustard\u2019s weekly&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;Ballers&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;power rankings (click here for last week\u2019s rankings). This week, in Season 2, Episode 2, Spencer tries to steal Terrell&amp;nbsp;Suggs from Andre, Tracy quits her job, Ricky tries to pick a team and&amp;nbsp;Reggie wants money to do absolutely nothing.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;1. Spencer Strasmore (last week: 3)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look, Spencer &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;be addicted to painkillers, he\u2019s wearing polka dots with stripes (my eyes!), and he saw Terrell Suggs slip out of his hands momentarily. But you know what? He finished the episode on top with one hell of a line. Don\u2019t you ever try to say football players can\u2019t think.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hey Andre, you\u2019re fired. On behalf of every single football player out there. \u201CYou\u2019re f\u2014ing fired.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spence, or \u201CThe Spence,\u201D as Joe desperately called him, is going right after Andre. That bruise, and Vernon\u2019s destroyed leg, will eventually heal, &lt;em&gt;Ladies\u2019 Home Journal&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;will get its act together and give Spence his magazine, and then you\u2019ll have another thing coming, pal.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;2. Terrell Suggs (last week: 5)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who has it better than The Sizzle? He has two financial advisors competing over him, free burgers and fries, and tickets to \u201CThe Open\u201D down in South Beach, whatever the hell that is. Oh, and not to brag, but he has $500,000 hidden behind his bed.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;3. Andre (last week: 2)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He still has Terrell Suggs as a client, which means he\u2019s winning the war that Spencer waged with him, but his I\u2019ve-been-in-this-game-twenty-years shtick fell short when he took a major L in that verbal standoff with Spence. It\u2019s only a matter of time before Spence is managing Caroline Wozniacki\u2019s finances, too. Though, I will say this about Andre\u2014that beard pretty much cements him as a top-three character.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;4. Tracy (last week: not ranked)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She quit! She told her boss, and that scoundrel Mitch, to get lost. Good for Tracy\u2014she deserves to make, at the very least, the same as Mitch for her work. All she needs to do is drink more wine, start her own Tumblr and scoop her old boss on Ricky Jerret news. That\u2019s a winning lifestyle. And don\u2019t call her \u201CLegs.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;5. Mitch (last week: not ranked)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We don\u2019t even know what Mitch looks like, but we do know he\u2019s killing it.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look, you can\u2019t hate the player. Hate the game. Mitch didn\u2019t choose to get offered more money than Tracy, and he would have been a fool not to accept. His new job is going swimmingly. Can\u2019t wait to see his character develop.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;6. Joe Krutel (last week: 9)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He tells Reggie he\u2019s not worth anything, and helps Spencer get excited for the episode\u2019s biggest scene with a big slap. He\u2019s been a solid role player thus far.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;7. Ricky Jerret (last week: 10)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This might have been the most boring episode Ricky Jerret has ever been a part of, but give him this, he looked right at a picture of Bill Belichick and said he didn\u2019t want to play for him. Ricky knows there are more nights in the fun house ahead. If you\u2019re keeping tabs at home on the Ricky Jerret sweepstakes\u2014it looks like it\u2019s down to the Bills and Saints.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;Charles Greane&amp;nbsp;(last week: not ranked)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have to admit, I thought Charles was out of the league last week. Now he has an offer to slide over to right tackle. Get the man another beer!\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;9. Virginia (last week: not ranked)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She\u2019s not your damn assistant, Terrell. Get your own hot sauce.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;10. Reggie (last week: not ranked)&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it were up to me, the villain in every single season would be Reggie. He\u2019s the biggest heel this shown has. He goes to Joe and asks to be put on payroll, which Joe and Vernon agree to do at $1,500, but then out of nowhere he asks for $3,000. And when he doesn\u2019t get it, he injures his best friend during paintball. That\u2019s a short-term win, but probably a long-term loss. I hope Reggie has a prominent role in each episode.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Just Missed:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Manny Pacquiao\u2019s training regimen...
