The BDFL's Weekly Game Summaries

By Bob Bullet

Week 4: Trying to get a helmet sticker (on The Grand Daddy),

and some Vict’ry (Kentucky Fried) Chicken

(Alabama Linebacker, #41, Courtney) Upshaw was asked if scoring a defensive touchdown got him anything special. "No," he said. "I got this (big Ol’) box of chicken. But everybody got one of these." Upshaw referred to the team's post-game snack which was, appropriately enough, Kentucky Fried Chicken. (You can’t make this stuff up.)

Back from Kentucky with a vict’ry; Part 1

Allyson dominates: The Jugtown Juggernauts took advantage of a trip to the Bluegrass to see the Tide Roll, get some business time with the BDFL Commissioner, and pick up some key pointers from the Defending BDFL Champion – Bullet – for those of you keeping score at home (and we know you are). It paid off handsomely for the ‘Nauts, as they ripped the Druid City Blitz on Sunday, giving Jerry Fritz an A.W., that would not come off – even with Ajax. So, at least for a week, Allyson is riding high (in her Honda Pilot) while the Blitz wallows for a week in yuppie-spangled Homewood, rubbing salve on his “A” that was just whipped… by a bunch of girls.

Back from Kentucky with a vict’ry; Part 2

Bullet wins: The Defending Champion Benton Bullets finally looked the part in Week Four, scoring from all over (QB, RB, WR, PK, and Defense) to drop the Brookside Dogs by a dozen on the banks of the Five Mile Creek. Mark Mutt’s had by far their best point total of the young season, but were still no match for the Bullets, who (look out) look to be back to the form that earned them another championship in 2008, and subsequent trophy – The Grand Daddy – followed by an inaugural tour that continues, as we speak, around the Southeast.

Back from Kentucky with a vict’ry; Part 3

Chris doesn’t lose: “I would like to personally thank the schedule-maker,” said the Commissioner, “for matching me up in Week Four against the lowly Slovaks.” (The Commish and the Schedule-Maker are one-in-the-same.) No matter how the Cool Springs Grenadiers (the franchise formerly know as the Green Springs Grenades) got the win on Sunday, was just fine with Iron Hand. After all, a win over the Slovaks is becoming a tradition for practically every team in the BDFL. Now, the Grenadiers can fix their sites on actually beating a real team in the league. If you think the BULLETIN is sugar coating it… well, maybe so, the Commish only beat ASlo, 12-9.

Sledheads Kick Former Roomie in Crotch

If you are asking yourself, ‘How did the Slovaks not take home the Toilet Award this week?’ look no further. The woeful Rocky Ridge Mildcats put up a measly 4-points to claim that distinction in Week Four. The James Gang not only got beaten by the Fairfield Power Sleds, but also kicked in the crotch. Mad Jack and his Mean Machine, said it was an accident, but the BULLTIN believes the Sledheads were getting even for the one time back in the mid-1980s when the BioCats stole some of Jack’s Stroh’s Light. “Payback is hell,” said Mad as the bells tolled in the background from AC/DC’s “Hell’s Bells.”

Sloths Slam Woosiers

As we continue to run down the worst performances in Week Four, how about Woo? The Smoke Risers in the Sky could not manage double-digits this Sunday, and were summarily dismissed by Muke’s Three Toed Tree Dwellers, 25-9. The Woo Crew escaped the “Toilet Seat” distinction (see Mildcats above), but were nonetheless embarrassed by the Sloth Monsters (and Mukes didn’t even crush a beer can on his head, break a light bulb, eat a nail, or crack a watermelon on his cranium). The Son of Slim did have a celebratory dip of Copenhagen and a Miller Lite with Albert before they headed off to Livingston to do some fishin’ – in a white Granada with a yellow canoe tied on top.

Wooden Warriors Roll

Enough about the stinkers in Week Four, how about some teams that excelled: Well, the Black Creek Wooden Warriors cultivated a 31-point performance and rolled to a convincing vict’ry over the Gulf Coast Gamblers. Chief Kawliga has assembled a pretty decent Tribe in 2009, and could possibly challenge right up to the Big Daddy Bowl. Of course, we know he has no chance in any kind of championship game, especially after the weather gets cold. But at least for now, he can dream.

Mayors Edge Cheetahs

It was a dream weekend for the Magic City Mayors and a borderline nightmare for the Riverchase Cheetahs. First of all, Chicago (Oprah and Obama, et. al.) was shot down for the 2016 Olympics, leaving the door wide open for Lowry Langford and his 2020 Birmingham bid. Then, the Cronies got a date with the table dancers and waltzed past the Cheetahs by one in BDFL action. In other action, the BULLETIN is not-too-sure what happened. As for the Sin Wagon, let’s just say they were counting “one’s” even though they were defeated by “one.”

In O.T. – It’s the Wizards

In a 20-20 tie, ole Merlin pulled one off by slight-of-hand and escaped the K-Mart parking lot near Raymond James Stadium (without a vehicle) but with an overtime win over the North Canton Bootleggers. Parks was unable to attend the post-game press conference – instead taking a shuttle to the Tampa police headquarters and subsequent impoundment yard to reclaim his vehicle, after paying a small amount in fines. “But, I used to play for the Bucs! I caught one pass for 22-yards. I know Curt Jarvis… and Little Perk,” Parks said to no avail with Tampa’s Finest.

Lep and Bullet – together again; actually that’s the Father Ryan High School Leprechaun mascot with the Defending BDFL Champ, last Friday night in suburban Nashville. Coley Hand cheered FRHS to vict’ry 20-13 over Pope John Paul II for the Bishop’s Cup.
