[League Update] Week 1: It is what it is ...

Give me a second. I need this.



It's beautiful, isn't it? Seven touchdowns. Ties a record. I've watched it again and again. It helps me forget that -- despite this amazing performance -- I lost.

Peyton Manning and his 46.28 points weren't enough to beat Dolphins of Old's juggernaut of Andrew Luck (24.92 points), Adrian Peterson (29.1) and Brandon Marshall (16.4). I lost by two daggum points.

I had the second highest point total in the league and still start the season 0-1. It hurts. But that's the way this game is, I guess.

Congrats to Dolphins of Old for racking up a league-high 124.72 points in the first week. Dolphins, Big Kahuna Burger and I all had more than 120 points.

Five other teams had at least 100 points. It was a big week for a lot of players ... except for the ones on the Muscular Mathletes. The Mathletes get this week's Sad Trombone Award for scoring a league-low 57 points. I think any rumors of nepotism have been squashed.

But there's always next week, right? Maybe Manning will have another career game. Or maybe one of my running backs will play worth a damn. You never know.

The games start on Thursday once again with the Patriots taking on the Jets. Make a decision on players for those teams before that game kicks off. Then be sure to set the rest of your lineup before kickoff on Sunday.

Wishing you sure hands and strong ACLs,

Corey
