The early window opens in The Mud Bowl League with six matchups and a top of the table that looks like a tiebreaker waiting to happen. Tony Malone has the numbers: Cold Brew Crew sits at 2-1-0 with 363 points for, which leads The Regrettables at 345, from a league-wide logjam of six teams at 2-1-0.
Every matchup matters. Most have not moved yet. The slate is scheduled and the scoreboard is blank because kickoffs have not started. Four clubs carry consequential decisions into the one o'clock window, and the mechanism belongs to the AFC half of the board, which is where this desk works.
Cold Brew Crew and The Regrettables headline the day. Alex Fontaine's squad and Danny Kowalski's squad share the same record; the difference is an early-season point differential you can see in the standings column but cannot call a verdict until the fourth quarter. The movement today, when it comes, will come from the players whose designations arrived Friday afternoon. The designation on Fontaine's top receiver was questionable. The walkthrough decided it. The walkthrough is Friday. Check the inactives at ninety minutes. The rest is the scoreboard, and the scoreboard does not lie.
