“he’s compulsively judgmental”

-So you are walking the fields and just watching a football game and you run into a woman who out of no where introduces herself then calls you “judgmental.” Yes it did hurt my feelings. I looked up into the sky at around 11:37 eastern standard time and asked God why? Why would someone say that? Why up by 20 could someone be so angry? Did this person want to be beating Ultimate Warriors by 30 and did this person take this anger nay this rage nay this apoplectic nay incandescent feeling out on me? Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time? I spent the rest of my Saturday pondering life and going through that chain of events that unfolded that fateful day one more time in my head. None of it makes any sense. My job is to continue on so I will. Please forgive me as I am emotionally distraught now but the show as they say must go on…….

The good news is after I got yelled at I did learn a few things Saturday….

-I learned that reports of TEIM’s demise are very premature. TEIM was down like 20-7 at the half to Marketing Mayors and by games end they won 37-36. TEIM fought and scratched and did not give up and the football Gods paid them off with a big victory. That’s 2 in row against Tuner for TEIM. I found it very interesting that they have been the one team to date who surprised all of us by rushing as guy. This hurried Dalphonso into a lot of bad throws. This is a copycat league let’s see if someone else goes this route.  

- I learned that 1 Topper too many is for real. Team Topper ran Bullett Club right off the field. I am also learning that your D3 Male MVP might just have the last name of “Davis” on the back of his jersey. Don’t look now but one or both Clarkes might be heading to the podium at this sessions banquet as both girls have been playing lights out. The thing that impressed me most of this week’s victory was Team Topper put on a clinic of “taking what the defense gives you.” Bullett Club plays their safeties way too deep for my liking and Topper just threw the ball underneath the coverage. So for those of you scoring at home Team Topper ran Bullett Club off the field, beat A&A and almost killed Joey Batts literally. They are undefeated and they deserve to be where they are.

-If I was Bullett Club I just learned that “you’re not in Kansas anymore Dorothy.” It’s looking like when BC can’t “out athlete” people they are in big trouble. Team Topper out manned, out threw, out ran, out caught, out thought and out classed Bullett Club in every facet of the game. I was wondering how the JJ/Brandy Clarke battle would end it looked like the duke goes to Brandy Clarke. JJ seems like she has lost a step if you ask me.

-I am learning that the most complete female player in the game today might just be none other than Katie Keller. Girl is a demon on offense but has definitely kicked her game up a nickel on defense this session. Some girls are solid on offense or really good on defense but Katie Keller is money on both sides of the ball. I really think Katie Keller and Sr could have beat Tune Squad 2 on 6. 

- l think that Tune Squad is struggling but their QB can throw. I think someone needs to walk over there and just tell him to stop going long and try for easy 6-10 yards throws. He has one of the better arms in D4 but his stats are skewed because he goes long waaaaay too much. Tune Squad in time could actually be a pretty decent team they just need to slow things down and go get easy gains that are there for them. The long ball is the pretty throw but it isn’t the easiest throw to make.

-I learned Saturday that I should have spent more time watching HK7 play. I can now tell you they are way more than a “good QB, 1 good girl and 1 good guy.” I can however tell you the really good guy is Von and he is very good and very nice. The really good girl though can hurt someone with her words (and did ☹  ) but she’s really good on a football field. HK7 is awesome on offense. I know they lost to Puckett All Stars in week #1 but I would like to see them have another shot at PAS. HK7 checks all the boxes as they have size, speed and solid contributions from their girls. The second half of their schedule is way easier than the first half so they could be in store for as big late season run up to the #1 seed.

-As or Ultimate Warriors, guys I get it you aren’t happy you lost but every time your QB throws a duck and underthrows your WR by 8 yards you can’t yell at the ref for a pass interference call that “isn’t there.” UW will bounce back but once again this is another team that has to stop looking long every play and just take the simple easy throws at 8 yds.

- I learned that Buffalo Solar Solutions might be this sessions Bambs as it looks like they have like 25 people on their roster. BSS came to play in a big win over 3^rd and Schlong. Don’t look now but BSS is 3-2 with big wins over 3AS, Cintas and NPI. They also played HK7 very tough.

-I am hearing rumors Nick Sooch is injured and might miss significant time. If this is true I wish him a speedy recovery as he is a great person and awesome at QB. 

-Witter’s might have just won a playoff spot with a shocking win over Hung Buffalo 30-29. I can’t put my finger on it but it looked they had a big female edge this week. Witter’s won the classic size vs speed showdown.

-It is really easy to report on the bad things that happen but here is a story of the good that can happen. The McKenzie Agency and Passless Chaps went at it this week at 11:00. The game was in doubt in the first half. A play happened where a TMA female caught a pass and many claim “fairly or un-fairly” that the Passless Chaps DB lost control of his body and came in too fast on a tag. This caused a bunch of Bruno’s sticking their chests out and the game got stopped for a minute while things had to be cooled down. This altercation didn’t impress me it was the actions of one Brian Ferger at halftime that did impress me. Ferger at the half attempted to get both squads together to remind everyone that this is a game of fun and we are not here to fight and act like baffoons. I for one commend Ferger as he is as “classy” as they come in this league. I had a chance to talk to one of the TMA players post game. He told me “The leadership of TMA is what brought me here. Brian Ferger is the reason I am here and the reason I am not leaving TMA.” For those of you scoring at home TMA is now 3-2.

-As distraught as I am today, I was still very happy to hear that Jabronies won the Topper Wheel of Hope Spin. I was even happier to hear we finally got our “first punishment.” Jill walked up to the Prize or Punishment wheel and it hit “valet park cars in fluorescent traffic vest.” It only took 5 weeks but we finally had a fun wheel spin. Kudos to Jabronies on their wheel spin. BTW it was funny after finally making it to Field #1 one Jabronies player was quoted as saying “I think my team is going to be mad at me Field #1 was way more muddy that Field #5.”

-I was very surprised The Bi Polar Express played Peachy Platoon as well as they did in a 39-16 loss. Bi Polar Express is heading in the right direction. There were a few drops here and there but in many cases I did see BPE girls get open and either due to over throws or weather the ball didn’t get there. Gordon has BPE heading in the right direction. In time BPE will be a force in D6.

- Gryffindor beat Morning Wood 45-6. There are still those claiming that if the Morning Wood QB showed up Morning Wood would have won by 13. Good news everyone I know its been like 18 months but Tony met his 4^th friend in TSL. Great work Tony congratulations on putting in the work to honor a promise you made like forever ago. 4 down 6 to go. I know there are only like 400-500 people out there every Saturday the thought of meeting 6 more seems daunting. I wonder if this was another example of me being “judgmental’ again. BTW MW went to Mo early and he had some nice gains. I still am wondering why they went away from that.

-I learned when she wants to be Beth from Eyes Downtown is wicked fast. At one point in the game a pass went out that bounced off one player and fell right into Beth’s hands. She grabbed the ball and took off. Girl flew right by Corey Turner. She then pitched the ball to Joey for 8. I was expecting so much more from Marketing Mayors. I saw a few of them in street clothes but their defense just looked lost and their QB just refused to take the easy throws that were there for the taking. Yeah I get it the 25 yard post to Smith looked like the sexy throw but the wide open wheel to Turner at 12 yards was the safer throw and the easy throw. And to answer your next question yes the sexy 25 yard pass to Smith was overthrown and Turner just stood wide open with no one within 6 yards of him . Shoulda woulda coulda…..

- I took a quick glance at next week’s schedule and it looks like bedlam will ensue at 2:00 when Hootie and the Brofish has at it with Tight Ends in Motion. This is one of the most anticipated games of the season. Tight Ends are coming off a huge upset of Marketing Mayors while HATBF were off last week and could show some bye week rust. These teams know each other well so we should expect a darn good football game.

- So the Godfather called me out and asked me to pick 10 games. Ok here goes let’s see how I do.

-Gryffindor over Uncle Rico’s Time Travelers.

-Practice Squad over Jabronies

-Slytherin that Endzone over Cobblestone

-Eyes Downtown over #XTC

-Indecent Exposure over Tune Squad

-HK7 over No Punt Intended

-Matty’s Angels over UFO

-Cintas over Tune Squad

-Peachy Platoon over Celino Sewer Rats

-Cunning Stunts over ACE

- I saw bits and pieces of the Peachy Platoon/Practice Squad game. It looked like TPS was missing some players but were up at the half 20-19. I still think PP is lame for having that much talent on a D6 roster. TPS did show well but just ran out of gas in the second half.

-It’s looking like the war for the #8 seed in D5 will be a (3) horse race between ACE, UFO and Hope N Ruin. Right now my money is on UFO but let us not forget Hope n Ruin has always been known as a “second half team.”

-It looks like we get a week off from the Topper as he is heading to the motherland to kiss the blarney stone for like the 20^th time. Football won’t be the same without seeing Topper’s truck right next to the fields. One week without Topper should be OK right? I mean nothing can go wrong….right?

-Peachy Platoon has one last test coming this week with Celino Sewer Rats. If they survive this test there is no doubt in my mind they will run the table. CSR has looked very solid this session especially on offense. CSR looked very good in a big win over Jabronies as they just “out athleted them” at literally every position.

-Can everyone stop the bye week BS and can we just get back to playing some football? It’s week #5 people its time to get back to bidness. Oktoberfest has come and gone let’s start focusing on the playoff chases shall we?

-If you asked me to list teams in each division I see having a big second half of the season I would say: D1: Tight Ends in Motion. D2: I can’t say because it doesn’t exist D3: Gryffindor D4: HK7 D5: Hope N Ruin. D6: The Practice Squad

That’s enough for this week. As I will continue to say if you keep giving me something to write about I will keep writing. But please don’t call me judgmental because to be completely honest that just hurts…..

See you next week…..I think
