Zombie Killers Take Top Prize in Week One...

  There were many great games in the first week and a couple of misfires by some owners.  It was a great start to the season and we're hoping for many more weeks of competitive games.  We now have 5 owners who's wallets are $2 lighter.  We will be sending out invoices to those five owners later this week.

  First a statement by the league commissioner, "I will not be compensating Cubito Aequet for drafting Ray Rice," stated Commissioner Montiverdi.  The Commission later when on to say, "Mr Graham is the dumb ass that drafted him.  He can deal with this problem on his own."

  In the most heated first week match-up Ocelot took on Jizonu.  This match-up became heated when Jizonu owner Mr Johnson spoke out against awarding Ocelot with the Championship belt at the annual draft.  These two owners exchanged words through press statements, but in the first week they were able to match wits.  Jizonu jumped out to an early lead, but lost the game when Mr Johnson took a risk and played Cam Newton who was listed as a game time decision.  Ocelot takes the first match-up between these bitter rivals.

  In a matchup of two new teams to the GNR league The Dowds match-up against Liftoff.  These two teams kept it interesting all the way until the end.  The Dowd's kept the lead going into the last games of the week when liftoff was able to power past them with a big game from Matthew Stafford.  

  The Wranglers and Slayers matched up in a rivalry that has dated back a few years.  These owners are friends that have been known to play wagers on their head to head match-ups.  The Slayers were favored in this match-up, but due to a disappointing game by the Green Bay Packers they faced an uphill battle.  Not only did the Packers have a disappointing game, but Eddy Lacy the Slayers number one back is questionable for week 2 due to a concussion.

  In a match-up that went into Monday night the rEdNeCkS locked horns with the Gotham Knights.  These two teams have the most history in the league going back over a decade and it showed.  The rEdNeCkS took a 1 point lead going into Monday night where both teams had only their number 1 receiver left to play.  After the first 6 minutes of the Detroit Lions game it was obvious that the Gotham Knights had the upper hand when Megatron racked up 29 points on two TDs.    In the late Monday night matchup Larry Fitzgerald laid an Egg and could only muster 2 points.

  The matchup of the week is where the Zombie Killers took on Cubito Aequet as there was a fire storm of points.  The Zombie Killers racked up a week one high of 135 points to take the first weekly prize.  Mr Graham owner of Cubito Aequet went out after the game and in a bold and possibly genius move picked up suspended Wide Receiver Josh Gordon.  When asked about this move Mr Graham had nothing to say but laughed maniacally.  

  That's all for our week one wrap up, but if you would like to see more in next weeks wrap up please feel free to let me know.
