Week 1 in the books

Thanks to all for getting Week 1 off smoothly.

Defending champion Distillers scored only 23 points and looks to be the front-runner for the WR Cal. Johnson DET sweepstakes. Owner Cassidy will have first free-agent choice.

The Barrels won their Week 1 match with 81 points. The league record for a single match remains 90 points by Simo's Chicago Blitz in 1995, our second season of the league.

The Week 2 matchup of the week is an easy one between the 1-0 husband and wife ownership battle featuring the Eggers vs. Brawlers. Good to you all.

From Khans owners Wanberg: " I didn't expect three zeros in my lineup this week although Colston, Bush and Fitzgerald were only a couple of yards away from giving me three points from each of them. Newton not being able to run the ball Sunday is making me nervous. But plenty of season remains."

ULAN BATOR, MONGOLIA -- D.J. Wanberg, owner of the Finks League's Ulan Bator Khans, announced today a new one-year sponsorship deal for the Khans' stadium.

The facility will now be known as Bayangol District Stadium (Bayangol District is an actual neighborhood in Ulan Bator) at Ex Lax Park. Wanberg was hoping for a higher class of sponsor, but with the season approaching he was forced to take what he could get.

At a press conference attended by no one, he said he would try to not schedule any promotions that might cause fans any discomfort or distress in their game day experience. He said  free Shredded Wheat day, scheduled for the game against owner Stan Goff, has been cancelled.

Wanberg's team is in its second year in the Mongolian capital. 

Khans releases theme song

From Khans owner D.J. Wanberg: "I think it best that this be my last shooting off my mouth until the season starts. It's always best to back up what you say. But I haven't felt this good about my team in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully, I'm kicking ass and taking names!!!!!!!!!"

Welcome to Season No. 19

Thanks again for returning for another exciting Finks League season.

Getting right to the auction news:

• Falling through the cracks: WR C. Johnson DET fell through to go unselected. Johnson is the No. 1 WR on many live draft boards, but did not carry a big enough auction number to go Sunday. He was on some owners' penny lists, but will likely be a top free-agent pickup after Week 1.
• How 'bout dem Cowboys: Serkus owner Stan Goff's favorite team is Dallas. He picked up four Cowboys players in the auction.
• Biggest bargain: The Brawlers picked up RB McCoy PHI for 12 cents.
• Spirited bidding: Newt picked up PK Gould CHI for $1.05. One other team bid $1.01.
• The hyphenate-award: The Eggers have Green-Ellis and Jones-Drew on their team.
• Spirited bidding II: Barrels won WR J. Jones ATL for $9.07, topping another team's bid at $9.01.
• No ties: For the first time in recent memory, there were no tie bids resulting in a blind draw for a certain player.
• Pricey: This year's award for the highest player bid goes to the Khans, picking up QB Newton CAR for $42.87.

Good luck to you all this season.
