Recap: Well, that went downhill fast. After utilizing a stream of nifty/witty punchlines to match Xcel’s more detailed and salacious wordplay/punches in the first, up-n-comer Sweeney is brought back down to earth via a more pedestrian 2nd round, before faltering altogether and choking in the 3rd. All this while Xcel continued to land hard and score repeatedly with consistently hot darts and bodacious schemes to easily take the latter two rounds and the win.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel – “But, I don’t doubt your pop’s showed you how to use a gun and click…but ’round here, wild life shoot back on them hunting trips!”
