We are officially at the midway point of Muthead League Season 8 and only Wesley made it out of Week 3 with a perfect 6-0 record. While he has had some MCS success over the past few seasons, he has dominated Muthead’s esports events. He has racked up double-digit Friday Night Football championships and he is almost certainly going to lock in a Muthead League playoff spot to compete for the Tyson Bowl championship in February.

For most of the Madden 21 season, OneGreatUser has been focusing on casting rather than competing, which has made his Muthead League season that …

Week 1 of Muthead League Season 8 is in the books and only three of the sixteen players were able to come away at a perfect 2-0 record. Wesley, Drini, and Cleff all turned in a pair of strong performances and each lead their divisions heading into Week 2.
