Well this week didn’t exactly finish strong. The day started well but it didn’t finish that way. I have a job to do so here it is. I find myself not as motivated to write when I see/hear about sheer stupidity. Yeah maybe this week I mailed it in but I don’t care this week was not very motivating…..So here goes…
-So it was like 40 something degrees out yet the patio was open and the league was thrown outside. That was nice….. really nice. I am curious to see what happens next week.
-I think it goes without saying but our hope is things are AOK over at Tight Ends in Motion as both Tiger and Kyle are both well liked players in this league and I am sure many people in this league have nothing but well wishes for both this week as it looks like both could be gone for a while. I also hope everyone on HATBF is doing AOK as well . That was a crazy game with a crazy ending.
-I really hope the UFO player that had his day shortened really takes this week to reflect on life and his behavior. I will say this, that guy has never been anything but a class act off the field (at least to me) but his on the field antics have to stop or he might find himself on the outside looking in soon. I really don’t mean he is about to face a suspension (at least not yet) but if I am a teammate of his I think It’s almost time someone says “Dude its social co ed football cool off.” I heard more than a few UFO players were heard saying they might be on the move next season as this week’s tirade was “just too much.” I get it people like competing and they play to win but c’mon man this is “only social co ed football that shit has to stop and stop now. “ I will so call Coach Jay and we will start a “Coach Jay School for meat heads and folks who don’t understand this is social co ed football with chicks so act your age dumb dumb” . I swear I will rent out a school and throw all you knuckleheads in it and Coach Jay and I will talk to you all for like an hour about “anger management” and “acting your age” and showing both you, your teammates, the officials and everyone around you the proper amount of respect and decent behavior they deserve. Don’t tempt me I so will do this….We could easily start with this player and the player on Jabronies we will get to a tad later as our first two “students.”
-Racks and Sacks was up against it this week with their season on the line and they came to play with a big win 42-20 over Angry Buffalo. I for one was happy Travis finally found himself on the good side of the game this week. BTW Travis had himself quite the game this week especially on offense. All I can say is I feel bad for the players on Angry Buffalo. Yes, there could be some that could be saying that the “football Gods” are getting even with one of them for their actions this season but a lot of them keep coming to play hard each and every week and deserve better than what is happening this season.
-No Punt Intended and Hope N Ruin were up against it this week but both delivered. NPI shocked HK7 41-32 while HNR beat up Come from Behind 32-22. I give up, none of this makes any sense anymore. Peachy Platoon were running away with D6 then lost. HK7 was on fire then they lost. 3rd and Schlong was struggling but they showed up and stood tall this week. Ultimate Warriors started so hot but they look lost. Cousin Steve and Co look like they are done like dinner. Matty’s Angels was rolling then Quinn shocked them. Witter’s got hot then was not.
-If you ask me the TSL “Team of the Year” is 3rd and Schlong. 3AS was slow out of the gate but they are on fire right now. Katie Keller is the new Queen Bee as she came to town and dusted up Ultimate Warriors this week 30-15. When they were all done, Jr and Co trotted out spiffy new 3AS winter hats which were a big hit with girls who were “easy on the eyes” as they appeared to get the hats first. They weren’t done….after a few pops “40 Year Plan Guy” called out Joe K and said 3rd and Schlong challenged to play Bullet Club “anytime, anywhere and anyplace” this season. That was a monster call out by 40YPG. Joe K has yet to comment. BTW for those of you waiting, the fair maiden Molly Morgan and 40 YPG will be mini golfing this week. Yes, Katie Keller had “no comment” when she heard the date was finalized.
-I had a chance to catch up with Gordon this week. Bi Polar Express came close this week as they played The McKenzie Agency tough in a 22-18 defeat. Gordon has promised to “not lose it” and keep BPE on course as they get closer and closer to their first victory.
-Don’t look now but Public Enemy vs Eyes Downtown is setting up to be” Clash of the Titans”. A short handed PE beat Marketing Mayors 27-24 while Eyes Downtown ran #XTC off the field 35-12. PE vs ED is really setting up as the “game of the year.” When all is said and done this could be one of the best rivalries in the history of the game if you ask me.
- I need to say this, the MVP of this week might be none other than “Glasses” of Gryffindor. Dude was under siege this week in the press but showed up big time in a big 32-13 over Uncle Rico’s Time Travelers. While Tony was literally “not trying” Glasses was all over field making plays on both offense and defense. Good for you “Glasses” good for you!
- I am hearing a few players in the Matty’s Angels/All we do is Quinn game were none too happy with the final call in the game. Depending on who you ask some say the ref botched the call others claim it was called right. The only way to solve this problem is to meet in the D5 final and settle this once and for all if you ask me.
-Oiy Vey it’s looking like Bullett Club is struggling. DMX came to town and rolled them 54-36. Topper started it, but teams seem to be jumping all over a very suspect Bullett Club secondary right now. D3 champs to 3-3, it might be time to wonder if Bullett Club is having a championship hangover.
-Buffalo Solar Solutions are now 4-2 and they are right in the middle of a crazy race for the D4 title. Their defense was on point this week holding a very good IE offense to only 16 points. D4 is wide open now with both HK7 and Ultimate Warriors coming back to earth. BTW nobody is really talking about Puckett All Stars…..but they should be.
- I really, as a fan of the TSL, am excited for the Matty’s Angels vs Cunning Stunts game coming soon. Both squads continue to impress on both sides of the ball. Both teams are led by crazy QB’s and each team continues to get better and better week after week. I was very impressed this week with the Cunning Stunts defense especially the Clarke sisters who are getting crazy good on defense. Hopefully we will have pictures this week of the “Cunning Stunts” decal on the #24 of Award Winning Tommy Hughes.
-If you ask me the “catch of the season” was made by one Andy Smith of the Marketing Mayors on a conversion this week. Dude went OBJ with a crazy “one handed” grab late in the second half. It still was a tad “disappointing” we never got our Ryan Radke vs Andy Smith battle this week. I still am a tad shocked The Mayors are only 3-3 but they are one team you do not want to see in the playoffs.
-Tune Squad lost 2 games yesterday but they scored 33 points and only gave up 84 so things are slowly improving.
-Yes Darryl Carr QB Superstar is still the #ICON and easily our greatest player ever but Garrett Beesing did just fine as the back up this week as Cobblestone gave SITE a game that went down to the last play. I have a feeling we could be seeing a Beesing led team happening some day soon. Garrett has already proven his is a solid all around player let’s see how he would do at QB.
-So our good buddy the Godfather called out this writer and I picked (10) games last week. It appears I was 7-3 this week in the games I picked. Beware GF 7-3 ain’t half bad you better tighten up your game or I might have to start writing your article as well next week.
-So Ferger wasn’t at the fields this week does that mean we won’t get a Mentalist article this week? Inquiring minds want to know.
-Are we 100% sure “Stoner Dave” got both feet down in a dramatic 39-38 win over Hootie and the Brofish? It happened so fast and was such a solid grab but wow that one was close. I was standing with a solid view of the catch and I am still not sure he had both feet in at the time of the catch. It might be time for TSL instant replay. I actually had some guys ask me about doing post game interviews and maybe video taping a few games. I didn’t know what to say but was flattered when someone told me and I quote “I love this league it’s better than MTV” that was nice .
-All right it’s time to spend a minute or two on a situation that happened Saturday. Unfortunately one of our players had “a pop or two” in his system and unfortunately said “something he should not have said.” I would like to take this time to briefly comment on this situation. I firmly believe that the player in question said something unacceptable and was 100% wrong in doing so. I believe this person was 100% percent wrong and no matter what was in his system should have known better. I for one on behalf of the good people in this world who in fact do know better would like to apologize on that person’s behalf. This league is better than that and the people of this league should always be better than that. I would also like to thank the person who heard that for taking the high road and not making more of the situation when he easily could have. We see things happen and said “out there” but for one minute they creeped into our universe and that should not have happened. I for one am bothered and can not apologize enough to everyone that had to hear that or be there at that time. The TSL Universe is better than this and needs to make sure things like that do not happen again. I for one will do my best to make sure the events of what happened late Saturday afternoon do not happen again.
-While I am on the subject of apologies I would like to apologize to both Morning Wood and Slytherin that Endzone as a scheduling snafu with Sticky Bandits occurred this week. Topper will get right on this matter when he returns from out of town ASAP.
If you ask me I for one am happy this week is now over…..Onto week #7
