Let's preface this article by saying I understand this was ONE game. The first season and first week of meaningful games in the SML. With that being said is it time to light one up and hop on the Bluntburner bandwagon?
For those of you sleeping under a rock or maybe hitting the blunt too hard. Bluntburner is now the Chargers owner. For his Week 1 matchup lined up against the Colts. The Colts are manned by 12x SML Champ the self proclaimed "GOAT" and commish Prime.
All the experts picked Prime by a landslide. This was a game that no way Prime would lose right? Bluntburner was burnt out before it started. But then the unthinkable happened.
Bluntburner shocked the SML by winning and winning 27-16. He did it with smothering run defense and pounding the rock like one of the Kardashians. Bluntburner was 8/9 for 146 yards and 1 int. So, technically he completed all of his passes too! Melvin Gordon was the work horse getting the ball 23 times and amassing 250 yards and 3 touchdowns!
If the game doesn't change drastically and we keep the X Factors enabled. Teams like the Chargers will be dangerous in the SML. Running the ball and pass rushers like Bosa can be deadly.
Was it just one game? Sure, but we tip our hat to Bluntburner and give him some extra recognition. Is he a pretender or contender? Well let's puff puff pass it back to him and find out! Good luck the rest of the season my friends.
