Bielany Orthalions come up short of predictions, succumb to Funky Town in 136.10-99.53 rout

There's no way around it, Bielany Orthalions underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Funky Town cruised to a 136.10-99.53 victory. Bielany Orthalions pulled out to a 3.40-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Funky Town after that. They were led by Russell Wilson (37.8 points) and Dalvin Cook (31.9). Austin Ekeler (20.8 points) and Jonathan Taylor (12.2) were the leaders for Bielany Orthalions in the loss. Funky Town (2-1) will look to notch another W against Kielce Vikings, while Bielany Orthalions (1-2) will take on PrzebiegleOdkurzacze in an effort to right the ship.

Bielany Orthalions
Just like the league's new tackling rules, it's important to keep your chin up, Bielany Orthalions! Trust us on this one, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
