And the weekly wrap-up:
So, last year's curse for the Radsters of Wick is broken in Week 1. The drunk monks were expecting a better show, but no one turned up to play. They left 5-time retiree Brett Favre sitting on the bench, not knowing he was still serious. The Rad-stars had three guys lined up to take on some of the weakest guys in the league. In a post-game interview the manager for The Happy Monks had this to say, "It's not a big deal. We've still got our beer."
The Wicky Radsters 91.16
The Happy Monks 44.00
Controversy soars as the awesome poultry three-way takes this win, despite Marc Bulger starting. Frank Fore and Brian Westbrook ran their little hearts out to provide nearly half the team points. Meanwhile the IR gang are up in arms because they told Steve Smith to get on the bench and he showed up anyway. Apparently, he doesn't know when to stop violating team rules. Word in the locker room was that no one wanted to say anything to him because they were afraid they'd get punched too.
Mighty Turduckens 90.22
Team Infrared 80.00
There was a lot of hissing and spitting as The Wildcats watched Willis McGahee march out on to the field in full uniform at the beginning of the game, just to go take a nap. He wasn't in a single play. But that wouldn't have been enough for these cats to eat the young as The Babies took the high score of the week with six, 1-2-3-4-5-6, players pulling in double-digit points. None of them set records or went off the charts, but they pulled together and put in a solid team effort.
The Wildcats 50.86
The Babies 94.28
The Stiff-Arms had to go limp as they watched Tom Brady go down, for the season. His team looked great. He had the #1 QB pick, and Super Bowl MVP on his team. Now he is gone. On the other side of the field those Roman eagles set Adrian Peterson loose to run them to victory. Couple that with solid performances all around and it was a good week.
The Stiff-arms 48.44
Centurion Eagles 79.44
And the game of the week. These two were separated by less than two points in the end. But one has to ask the dirty hounds if they can lean on Drew Brees that heavily all year. One less good play would have ended the game for them. The scooper poopers had a mostly solid performance and they could have won with just a tad bit more effort from a couple of guys. The only way this game could have been better is if the teams combined to become the Mud Butts.
Mud Dogs 69.52
Shovel Bums 67.78
So here are the current standings:
Rank - Team - W-L-T - Pts
- The Babies - 1-0-0 - 94.28
- The Wicky Radsters - 1-0-0 - 91.16
- Mighty Turduckens - 1-0-0 - 90.22
- Centurion Eagles - 1-0-0 - 79.44
- Mud Dogs - 1-0-0 - 69.52
- Team Infrared - 0-1-0 - 80.00
- Shovel Bums - 0-1-0 - 67.78
- The Wildcats - 0-1-0 - 50.86
- The Stiff-arms - 0-1-0 - 48.44
- The Happy Monks - 0-1-0 - 44.00
Next week: In disgrace at his last place finish the commissioner, and manager of The Happy Monks, steps down to hand it over to the Commissioner of the More Taste League, John C McGinley.
He prefers to be called Commish, but will also go by Dr. Cox or Bob.
