2 Gurleys 1 Cup fall short of predictions, succumb to Vardy in 134.38-113.50 rout

There's no way around it, 2 Gurleys 1 Cup didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Vardy cruised to a 134.38-113.50 win. Vardy grabbed an early 17.40-point lead on Thursday. 2 Gurleys 1 Cup came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Stefon Diggs (26.3 points) and Aaron Rodgers (23.7). Not to be deterred, Vardy rallied later that night, as DK Metcalf (19.2 points) put them back ahead once and for all. Vardy (1-1) will look to add to their success against TheNewGuy, while 2 Gurleys 1 Cup (1-1) will take on ExxonValdezScantling in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Vardy
Yo, Vardy, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by nearly 21 points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
2 Gurleys 1 Cup
Look, 2 Gurleys 1 Cup, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, okay... perhaps asking for an extra 21 points is a bit on the excessive side.
