HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – “Alexa, play some Mark Morrison.”
Week 1 was pretty brutal for the Buck You squad. With “stars” DeVonta Smith, Kenneth Walker and Ja’Marr Chase combining for a grand total of 10.6 points, it’s not hard to understand why we finished with an embarrassing 79.48 points. It should have been the worst score of the week, but Brad the Dad saved me there (62.42).
Knowing that Owen (0-1) was contagious, I had to make some drastic changes. What, you may ask, were said changes? Staring Emeka Egbuka over Kenneth Walker. Did it work? No. Did I still win? Yes.
Thankfully, the rest of my team decided they wanted to keep my ass out of a Waffle House – putting up a league-best 151.22.
I want to personally thank Jonathan Taylor and Ja’Marr Chase, who each scored 28.5+ points.
Do I still have real concerns about my team? Yes. Am I willing to let Brent fleece me to fix them? Not yet.
For now, it’s on to Week 3. Get that ass ready, Abie.
