Week 1 MVP Award Winners –
Drummer Boy & Roadrunner (34 Points)
The Week 1 results are in and The Football Club is officially back underway. And in no surprise to anyone, two of the best players of the 2020s decade are debuting in 1st Place with a share of the Week 1 MVP Award. First, we have Drummer Boy, who has sent a message loud and clear to the rest of the club that his dominance is going to continue right on into this season. Anyone who had their hopes up that he wouldn’t be an immediate threat is going to head back to the locker room in disappointment. Second, we have Roadrunner, who has now reached a Peak Position of #1 in three out of the past four seasons. In fact, he has now logged 7 weeks at #1 over the past four seasons. After struggling last season and ending in 17th Place, Roadrunner is truly off to a fast start heading into the first turn. The Week 1 MVP Award Runner-Up was none other than My Wife Loves Jimmy G, who has also shown himself to be a steady, consistent threat down the stretch every season. However, he noted at a press conference before Week 1 that his biggest obstacle to success has been a slow start each season. Clearly, he got some good coaching because that issue has been overcome. As we get started with the new season, the debut Top Five consists of tied for #1 Drummer Boy & Roadrunner, #3 My Wife Loves Jimmy G (2 Points back), #4 Captain Insano (3 Points back), and #5 MJD Hogg (5 Points back). Defending 2024 Club Champion Stinkerbell, with her trophy sitting on the mantle above the fireplace, debuted in 10th Place in the middle of the pack. The good news for those of us who struggled last week (many with an assist from Baltimore thanks to their collapse) is that the season has just begun. So let’s play on and have a better Week 2.
