Crappy Debuts Doom HFL Teams

Above: Metacritic poison

Heading into the final weeks of June, the biggest story in the HFL is the disappointing scores for many highly-touted movies.

First round picks “Robin Hood” and “Sex in the City:2” and second-round pick “Prince of Persia” were major contributors to the worst memorial day box office in 15 years. In particular, the catty whorebags of “Sex in the City:2” have scored only 17 points for Sexy Marmaduke Too, which now must rely on a big score from “Marmaduke” to remain competitive. Good luck with that.

Jurassic Parka maintains its perch atop the leaderboard, although it was deal a minor blow by its third-round pick “Oceans”, whose debut in mid-April snuck past everyone in the league, mainly because it’s box office totals were too low for anyone to notice. “Oceans” scored a league-high 73 Metacritic score, but grossed less than $20 million over its first four weeks to end with a movie score of 13.

Solidly in second-place, Points on the Back End looks to challenge for the title, but unfortunately is just about out of scoring opportunities. While Kyle won’t end up in first, he clearly had the best pick of the second round, “Shrek Forever After” which already has tallied 91 points.

My personal favorite storyline in the HFL is the comically bad performance of "McGruber" which has scored only 4 points to date.

Another big weekend for the HFL just hit, as “Get Him to Greek”, “Marmaduke”, and “Splice” made their debuts. Finally Sparkling Wiggles will get on the board after more than two months of competition.
