Week 1 Recap
Markinson
The reigning champ makes a statement! Amer whacks Hubert by 80(!), and in doing so comes up less than a point short of breaking the Markinson single-game scoring record of 174.76, posted in 2007 by... Hubert. Still more than enough for Amer to score the first Heineken of the season.
Eddy also posts a huge victory in his Markinson debut, crushing Scott by 70.
Jason joins the blowout party, smoking Lisa by 55.
And Drew completes Dufresne's week-one sweep of Montoya with a 4-point win over Gina. C'mon, Montoya, represent! Collectively, Dufresne outscored Montoya by 210 points!
Hmm, on second thought, I don't want anyone from Montoya snagging an automatic bid. Go Dufresne!
Montoya
From first to worst... to first again? After last season's washout, Whoosh is back in a big way, scoring the Heineken in a solid 30-point win over Fantasia Orins.
But reigning champ Collateral Estoppel isn't giving up her crown so easily. She posts a 35-point win of her own over Da Big G to kickstart her title defense.
Andrew takes out Dan by 22 in a battle between the two Montoya managers still looking for their first Markinson bids. Andrew's quest is off to a solid start.
In the only tight matchup, I eek out a 2-point win over Hubert, with both of us sweating out the end of the Chargers/Raiders game. The Raiders' late score provides me with enough cushion to withstand the Chargers' game-ending INT. More on that later.
Dufresne
Picking up right where he left off, reigning champ Eddy scores another Heineken, after collecting a six-pack last season. Eddy also takes the early lead in defending his Starling Cup.
Also picking up where he left off, Dean posts the second-highest score of the week and loses by 10. If luck evens out over time, Dean is still waiting for evidence. It's pretty tough to lose when you get 48 points from one guy.
Meanwhile, Russell posts the second-lowest score of the week and wins by 5 over Drew. These are the kinds of wins Drew specialized in last season to finish second despite having the second-lowest point total. Now it's Russell's turn!
Jason picks up a solid 20-point win over Nalu, largely thanks to an impotent showing by Tsunami's wide receivers. 9.90 points combined? Yikes.
Back to the end of that Chargers/Raiders game. Steve is down 0.38 points to Amer, with Chargers D and LT still active. The Raiders' late score drops Steve behind by 2.38, but now LT will certainly come out and help the Chargers on their final drive, right? Instead, Sproles gets ALL the playing time, meaning the Chargers' game-ending INT still leaves Steve 0.38 points short of Amer. Welcome to the league, Steve.
