WEEK 1 ROUND UP: Part One

First things first, the Blue Ribbon Blog did correctly pick the winner of both games previewed.  So, if we pick against you...watch out!

GAME OF THE WEEK:  OCHOCINCO ROOMATES 108.5 vs. ROYALE W/CHEESE 107.5
This game went down to the wire.  Both teams lost players to injuries, but continued to battle on.  There were 3 players who posted ZERO points due to injury.  The game started to look like a Woodinville K-911 intra-squad scrimmage with all of the ambulances on the field.

On the opening kickoff, Cheese Kicker Nate Kaeding kicked a rocket.  Literally.  He kicked a rocket that then exploded not only his leg, but flew far enough to also explode Roommates Eric Berry and Elvis Dumervil.  Berry took the rocket off of his knee (which in turn exploded) and Dumervil took some shrapnel to his shoulder but continued to attempt to play with only one arm.

Even with the Roommates missing two of their 6 defensive players, the Cheese simply couldn't score enough for the win.  Cheese RB DeAngelo Williams was completely sickened by the "rocket incident" scoring just 3 points, but TE Zach Miller felt even worse.  Miller scored only two points for the Cheese, after his vomiting on the sideline caused a fumble from Jeremy Maclin.  Maclin caught the pass, slipped in the vomit, and fumbled the ball while starting to vomit himself.

All in all, the Cheese outscored the Roommates on both Offense (69-65) and Defense (41.5-36.5), but lost the game on special teams.  Hall of Fame bound kicker Josh Brown nailed a field goal as time expired to get the expansion Roommates their first win.

The Cheese will try to lose the mold as they travel to play the defending Champion Hurricanes.  The Roommates will look to continue to pay rent as they host Riggins.

BEST PERFORMANCE: FLUFFERNUTTER 165.5 vs RIGGINS  107
The Fluffernutter wanted to get out to a fast start this season, and boy did they ever!  The Fluff dropped 165.5 points on Riggins, and the scary thing was that they still had two guys on the bench that would have added another 10 pts!  Riggins was outscored in every facet of this game, which led coach Holicky to say:


Holicky: We couldn't do diddley-poo offensively. We couldn't make a first down. We didn't run the ball. We didn't try to run the ball. We couldn't complete a pass. We sucked. We sucked. It was a horsesass performance in the second half. Horsesass. I'm totally embarrassed, and I'm totally ashamed. We got our ass kicked in the second half. It sucked. It stunk. Cause they just blocked better, were more tougher, more physical, coached better, did everything better. We sucked.
Reporter: Well, do you think you can right the ship and get back to the playoffs?
Holicky: Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs? I'm just hoping we can win a game. One. Game.


Riggins looked loss without their top receiver Larry Fitzgerald.  Fitz and QB Matt Schaub were traded at the draft to the Soup Can, and the two players they received back (Peyton Manning and Dez Bryant) did not even play in the game.  Meanwhile, the Fluffernutter still would have won this game even with their WORST scorers in.  The final score of that game would have been 124-107.

The Fluffernutter will look to continue their nutty scoring as they play host to the Soup Can.  Riggins will try and trade away any player who scored more than 10 pts, and then travel to play the Ochocinco Roommates.
