Week 1 Synopsis

Johnstahn, PA: The DFFL was in full swing this past weekend with every team eager jump out of the gate with a Week 1 win. This week was all about finding out how well or how awful your draft was. (Or how well your sibling drafted for you.) On to the results!

The first matchup pitted The Adam Factor against Nick's team Buyer Beware. This was the "Spent Way Too Much Time Thinking About Their Lineup" Game. Both coaches spent countless hours studying film and evaluating statistics only to field two mediocre at best teams. There had to be a winner and the The Adam Factor emerged victorious with a final score of 64-57. The Factor did suffer a tough loss with a torn ACL to Nate Burleson that will surely hurt him down the road. (I definitely should've made that trade with Nick.)

In a close game, Team Uncle Sloppy took on the Commish's team Vandelay Industries. This was the second lowest scoring game of the week by 1 point. Guys, it's not like golf, you want high scores in fantasy football. Anyways, Sloppy took a huge kick to the groin when his starting QB Tom "Karma Sucks" Brady went down for the rest of the season. Good luck with Philip Rivers Uncle Sloppy! Vandelay Industries pulled out the win 60-50.

Ouch.

Game 3 was a battle between One T artans and Stanley's Steamers. I will say that One T's team name is clever and it seemed to help this weekend as he pulled out the win over Uncle Pat's Steamers. It also helped that One T's running backs both scored over 20 points for him this week. (You're welcome for the advice.)

Blowout of the week was the matchup between Molly's Stanley Nickel's and Uncle Gary's (Insert team name here). Uncle Gary scored a respectable 70 points but no match for the Nickel's whopping 129 points, which was tops in the DFFL. Her prize for high score is a free weekend stay at her cousin and brother's new place in lovely Falls Church, VA. Amenities include pool, jacuzzi, pinball machine, air hockey table, and a comfy couch to sleep on. *Cousin and brother are not responsible for sore back after sleeping on said couch.

Low score of the week goes to the Green Day Tractors who took on Mike's Crazy Bombers. The Bombers were victorious with a final score of 63 - 46. The upcoming season does not look good for the Tractors as they have 2 Rams, a Dolphin, and a Brown in their starting lineup. Ewww.

Game of the week goes to Joe's Here Comes Treble vs. Emily's (Insert team name here). The defending champ edged out a win 69 - 68. The champ needed a win to keep pace in the tough Dahn Tahn Division where all three team are tied for first place with one win a piece.

If you didn't win this week, don't feel bad. There is plenty of football left. At least that's what I kept telling myself last season.

Some reminders: If you haven't done so, come up with a team name or else you will be drawn and quartered. Not really, but please come up with one. We will be more than happy to suggest names. Also upload a team logo because it looks cool.

Good luck for Week 2!

That is all.
