Introduction
The Week One – Game of the Week pits, second year coach and reigning FanLax Champion, GreenieLax against, first year coach, CalLaxDad. Like with children or the mentally handicapped, it’s inappropriate to make fun of those who are less fortunate. With this said, we are adults and, for whatever reason, the powers-that-be have set these two teams as our first Game of the Week, so…

- Attack: Garnsey + Reeves + Hill crushes Wynne + Laviano + Donnelly. CalLax’s attack will dominate. – WRONG.
- Middies: Unless CalLax’s Tinney goes back on the juice, Greenie’s middie line of Rotanz, Conrad, and Kavanaugh will put up better numbers. – WRONG. Same low numbers.
- D vs. D: The Terps play Penn while Greenie’s Denver plays… Cleveland State. Case closed. – WRONG.
- Final Verdict: Greenie did everything humanly possible to chase off Tim Rotanz, Greenie’s top middy. And, for reasons I do not understand, Rotanz still returned to Team Greenie. My only guess why is the hope of winning another FanLax Title. On the other hand, CalLax drafted a Face-Off Middie. And, thus far this season, Peter Tagliaferri has put up better numbers than half of CalLax’s other middies. As veterans of the FanLax Lacrosse League, we need to have empathy for both these rookie coaches. With this said, after Week One, we should have more empathy for GreenieLax. Game Advantage to CalLaxDad. – WRONG.
