Sorry it took me sooooo long to get this posted, but I should hopefully be able to get each week's recap starting with week 5 posted by Wednesday.
It's that time of year, the leaves are starting to turn colors, there is a slight chill is in the air, and once another season of the Midnight Football League has begun. This season of the MFL sees one new team (The Wide Right) as well as the return of last year's MFL Champ Go Blue Girl, Of Hogs and Hokies, Dark's Dragons, The Fighting Kittens, The Taint, The Baaastards, Backfield Penetration, Girl Graves (now Corpse Munging), Jerry (now Trumps Towers), Dusty (now Fear these Bucknuts), and MadMan Gamers. So without further ado lets get on with the 2015 week 1 recao.
Go Blue Girl vs. The Wide Right
Go Blue Girl (1-0) beat The Wide Right (0-1) 95.14 to 84.40, led by Rob Gronkowski with 27.40 points and Matthew Stafford who had 19.74. Go Blue Girl must believe that the early bird gets the worm. They scored first and went into Sunday in front 32.40 to 0. They let that melt away like butter on hotcakes and trailed 72.00 to 61.40 after the early Sunday games. However, following the late Sunday games, Go Blue Girl regained the lead for good. Then, they spent the rest of the matchup making fun of The Wide Right to the other league members.
Fear These Bucknuts vs. Darks Dragons
Fear these Bucknuts got the highest score in the league this week, taking down Dark's Dragons 121.52 to 98.24. Even Pat Benatar would have been proud of how these two teams hit each other with their best shots. Both sides met their expectations, but Fear these Bucknuts put up 28.8% more points than projected to earn the win. Russell Wilson led Dark's Dragons with 18.14 points while the Denver Broncos Defense brought in 16.00. Fear these Bucknuts showed some mercy in the win, starting a player with zero points (Mike Evans). Fear these Bucknuts starts off the season with a 1-0 record, good enough for first place. Dark's Dragons begins at 0-1 and in eighth place.
Trumps Towers vs. The Baastards
Facing a 42.54-point deficit on Monday night, Trump s Towers scored 74.54 and beat The Bastaaards 120.84 to 99.04. They also claimed the second-highest point total this week. Trump s Towers beat expectations and scored 19.8% more than their projected 100.90 points, while The Bastaaards just fell short of hitting their projections and got 94.4% of a projected 104.88. Ben Roethlisberger led The Bastaaards with 21.04 points while Jason Witten racked up 18.00. Trump s Towers (1-0) starts the season in second place while The Bastaaards (0-1) begins in seventh place.
Backfield Penetration vs. MadMan Gamers
BackfieldPenetration took advantage of 23.72 points from Andrew Luck and 23.00 from Austin Seferian-Jenkins to crush MadMan Gamers 98.12 to 67.16. BackfieldPenetration beat their projections and put up 11.7% more than their projected 87.83 points, while MadMan Gamers performed poorly and got just 74.1% of a projected 90.58. Aaron Rodgers led MadMan Gamers with 29.06 points while Darren Sproles racked up 12.60. When assigning blame following this loss, MadMan Gamers can look in the mirror. They started a player with zero points (Sammy Watkins). BackfieldPenetration (1-0) kicks off the season in fifth place while MadMan Gamers (0-1) debuts in the cellar.
Corpse Munging vs. The Taint
Coprse Munging (1-0) defeated The Taint (0-1) 100.04 to 85.10, led by Tony Romo with 30.14 points and Antonio Brown who scored 19.30.
