We got lucky last season.

Beta GameDay: Week 1 Special
Martian Invasion at Rome Gladiator Yaks

Live from Villa Rustica Stadium

Chris Griffin: "Hey everybody, welcome to Beta GameDay! I'm Chris Griffin, and we've got a matchup that asks the eternal question: what's stronger, thousands of years of yak-herding tradition... or a bunch of green guys whose greatest accomplishment is repeatedly failing to invade Earth?"

Rodney Dangerfield: "I tell ya, I don't get no respect. The Martians don't get any respect either. They came to Earth looking for intelligent life and landed in this league. They should've turned that spaceship right around!"

Duck Dodgers: "Attention, Earth football spectators! As the universe's greatest hero, protector, savior, and occasional autograph signer, I must point out that I personally have defeated countless Martian invasions."

Rodney: "Really? From what I remember, every time you fought Marvin the Martian you needed a rabbit to bail you out."

Duck Dodgers: "Propaganda! Historical inaccuracies! Edited footage!"

Breaking Down the Matchup

Chris: "Looking at the preseason records, Rome comes in 1-1 while Martian Invasion is 0-2. That's already a red flag. The Martians got blasted 97-14 by the Hartford Bouncing Pickles and then lost 28-21 to the Lone Star Renegades."

Rodney: "Ninety-seven points! I've seen better defense at an all-you-can-eat buffet."

Chris: "Meanwhile the Yaks opened by absolutely steamrolling the Berlin Mustaches 123-0."

Rodney: "One hundred twenty-three points? That's not football. That's what happens when you accidentally schedule a middle school chess club."

Duck Dodgers: "Let's not overreact! The Martians were clearly gathering intelligence. Reconnaissance missions. Strategic losses."

Rodney: "Strategic losses? That's what I told my wife at the blackjack table. She wasn't convinced either."

Key Players

Chris: "Rome's offense is led by QB Rome123 qb1 and HB Rome123 rb1. Not exactly creative naming convention there."

Rodney: "Their roster sounds like someone forgot to update the default settings."

Chris: "On the Martian side you've got Maxmillions the Martian at quarterback and Marshal the Alien in the backfield."

Duck Dodgers: "I recognize these villains! They're dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Well... when someone else is fighting them."

Keys to the Game

Chris: "The Yaks want to use what the coaches are calling 'herd tactics.' Their game plan literally says they want to trample smaller, technologically superior invaders."

Rodney: "That's football coaching right there. Forget X's and O's. Just become livestock."

Chris: "The Martians need to get the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator working."

Duck Dodgers: "Ah yes, the same device Marvin uses every week and somehow still hasn't figured out."

Rodney: "If my mechanic fixed cars the way Marvin fixes inventions, I'd be taking the bus."

Potential Weaknesses

Chris: "One concern for Rome is whether their fancy new logo has made them soft."

Rodney: "Yeah. I've seen it happen. Team gets a new logo, next thing you know they're discussing color palettes instead of blocking."

Chris: "The Martians' weakness? They traveled the day before and have to acclimate to Earth's atmosphere."

Rodney: "They're invaders and forgot to prepare for Earth? That's like opening a pizza shop and forgetting the dough."

Duck Dodgers: "Exactly! Which is why I, Duck Dodgers, future ruler of Planet X, always arrive at least fifteen minutes early."

Rodney: "That's not preparation. That's being retired."

Predictions

Chris Griffin's Pick

"Normally I'd side with aliens because, let's be honest, they seem way more interesting than hanging around with a herd of giant smelly yaks."

Duck Dodgers gasps dramatically.

"But the preseason numbers are brutal. Rome outscored opponents 135-35 across two games. The Martians got outscored 125-49. Until the invaders prove they can stop somebody besides themselves, I'm taking the Yaks."

Prediction: Rome Gladiator Yaks 49, Martian Invasion 17

Rodney Dangerfield's Pick

"Look, I grew up around people. Compared to people, yaks seem pretty reasonable. Plus these Martians couldn't invade a picnic basket." "I'll take the herd. They beat somebody 123-0. That's not a football game. That's a natural disaster."

Prediction: Rome Gladiator Yaks 56, Martian Invasion 14

Duck Dodgers' Pick

"Ha! Foolish Earthlings! As the galaxy's foremost authority on Martians, I know their secrets."

Rodney: "You've lost to them hundreds of times."

Duck Dodgers: "Technicalities!"

"The Martians are due! Their superior technology, advanced intellect, and complete inability to avoid dramatic monologues will carry them to victory!"

Chris: "So you're actually picking them?"

Duck Dodgers: "Absolutely! Also if they win, I would like everyone to remember that I said so."

Prediction: Martian Invasion 31, Rome Gladiator Yaks 28

Final Consensus

Chris: "We've got two picks for the Yaks and one highly questionable pick for the aliens."

Rodney: "Yeah, and that one came from a duck in a space suit."

Duck Dodgers: "FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT A DUCK. I AM A HERO WHO HAPPENS TO BE DUCK-SHAPED!"

Chris: "That'll do it from Beta GameDay. The Yaks look like the safer pick based on preseason results, but if the Martians finally get that Space Modulator working..."

Rodney:"...we're all gonna wish we were cheering for the yaks."

Duck Dodgers: "Curse you, Marvin! Curse you and your football team!"

Welcome back Smitty.

Omg... That's a masterpiece dude. Laughed loud several times.

My team gonna stink for awhile. Every thing is half finished atm..

Already more fun than pro

LOL
