Pele's League Week 1 News and Notes - September 1st First week on CNN Pele's League showed some good starts by two Sao Paulo teams, while the two other struggled.Also, there was a surprisinlgly dominance by teams from outside the U.S. The week was opened by a matchup between two Sao Paulo teams, as the Sao Paulo Hard Plays (owned by Luis Curro) played against the Sao Paulo Golpes Baixos (owned by Marcos Royer). Although the Golpes Baixos had QB Brett Favre and RB Eddie George, the Hard Plays played very well under remarkable games by QB Brad Johnson, WR Terry Glenn and TE Wesley Walls. The Hard Plays won by the final score of 74-51. The Sao Paulo 55ers, owned by Carlos Curro, had a "Davis Cup" like game against the Cortland, NY Gradams Greats in a US X Brazil matchup. The Brazilian team benefited by some nice performances from RB Robert Smith, RB Terrell Davis and WR Carl Pickens. The Gradams Greats suffured from the struggle by RB Jerome Bettis, and lost to the 55ers by a score of 56-43. In a battle of non-us teams, the San Juan Coquis defeated the Sao Paulo CCM by a score of 55-54, in the most exciting game of the week. Both teams played extremely well, with the home field advantage (+1 Point for the Coquis) being the deciding factor. Portugal's only representant in Pele's League, the Oporto Eagles, defeated the Randolph Blue Devils, as the Eagles scored 49 points in route to a 49-36 win. RB Ricky Watters led the way for the Eagles, while the Blue Devils had some problems in the lineup, as the injured Mark Brunell was listed as their starting QB. And in the last game of Week 1, the PIMP C's REAL G'S beat the Ithaca Isolators in a shoot-out, 90-81. The REAL G'S played just a little better, benefiting from strong performances by QB Drew Bledsoe, WR Jimmy Smith and K Jasom Elam. The Isolators fought very hard, and they almost got the win with good games by WR Tim Brown, QB Jeff George and WR Cris Carter, but the REAL G's were just too much for them.
