To Start or Not to Start? - Week One Review
Ultimately, every owner was faced with this question and it seems like one that will haunt us all one week or another. This week's winner is David, who chose to start both Tim Herron and Lucas Glover over Sergio Garcia. A questionable call that ultimately cost him in the closest game of the week... he was narrowly edged by four strokes at the hands of Jon's merry band of misfits. Just a note about Jon (that's him in the yellow helmet): I'm not buying his explanation that he had the wrong sheet in his hands on draft day. He's too savvy for that and must know something about Monty to have picked him in the second round. We haven't seen the last of this character. I'm warning you now.
Based on his performance over the last few years, Aaron enters the year as the odds on favorite and true to form his team obliterated Rick's "let's just roll over and play dead" team. As I documented on Friday, Rick becomes the first owner to have zero starters playing on the weekend, an accomplishment I'm sure we'll see again before year end.
In my game with George it all came down to Davis Love III throwing up all over himself coming down the stretch on Friday. I'm sure he had a nice weekend after that performance. Neither of us tore it up, with only three players playing on the weekend (combined) and George and I exchanged emails that said stuff like "what happens if none of our players make the cut?" Nice.
Jeff came out smoking and Hugh's team fell off the pace with Vijay leading the collapse. Have you ever seen so many of the game's elite players stumble so badly on Sunday? Of course, when you start Brett Quigley and Daniel Chopra something's bound to go wrong... even if you're from Rhode Island! BTW... The Official State Drink of Rhode Island is coffee milk, a beverage created by mixing milk with coffee syrup. But enough about Hugh...
Tomorrow is the first day to add/drop players, so if you'd like to upgrade your team, send me an email by tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon. Aaron already owns Stephen Ames so don't even think about it.
