The Thunderbolts lost the first contest of the season 76 - 45. No one cares. The final score has been buried by the devestating news that Tom Brady has been lost for the season due to severe knee injury. Brady went down early in the game after just turning in just three fantasy points. It's the second time that the Thunderbolts have lost their second overall first round draft pick to an early season injury. In the franchises first year, they lost running back Shaun Alexander to a broken foot in the second game of the season. "I'm beginning to think being our first round draft pick is worse than the Madden curse." Commented team owner, Bryan Vinson.
On the bright side, the T-bolts have Philip Rivers to take over the quarterback position. Rivers scored 26 points in week one, but was on the bench. It remains to be seen if Philips can soften the blow of losing such a high value player in Brady.
Heading into week two the Thunderbolts take on the "dorks". They'll be without Brady. Star wide reciever Steve Smith will be serving the second of a two game supsension, and they'll have to figure out what to do with a highly ranked Viking defense and special teams that scored all of one fantasy point in week 0ne. "I think our chances look pretty good." Vinson stated.
