The BDFL's Weekly Game Summaries

By Bob Bullet

Week 7: “A.W.’s Everywhere” and it is almost Halloween (See photos below)

We hate the Volunteers, Go to Hell Tennessee: Crimson Tide 12 – Volunteers 10

Sloth Monsters Sickle Dogs:

The Dogs just can’t catch a break in 2009. In a weekend where they scored a very respectable 31-points, Mark’s Mutts absorbed an A.W., at the hands – albeit with no thumbs and only three fingers – of the Sloth Monsters. The Three Toed Tree Dwellers put up 57-points in Week Seven to “sickle” the Brookside Dogs by 26 (as you all know – Slovaks, see below – 21-points constitutes an A.W.). So, Dog’s plan of doing the George Costanza “opposite” during Draft Night, still looks like a bad idea, and the 14-year-losing streak will almost certainly continue for Mark’s Mongrels. On the other side, the Son of Slim is basking in the glow of another winning weekend, the “Top Dog” of the week award, and getting ready to challenge for the right to hoist The Grand Daddy in 2009 (with only 3-fingers, of course).

Slovaks Slap Gamblers – Again:

Oh, you know the Gulf Coast Gamblers won’t take this one in a good mood. “Big Head” Kenny B. took another beating from the Fighting Slovaks – for the second year in a row – and it probably won’t take long for the “What’s an A.W.?” emails to start pouring across cyberspace. Now, the BULLETIN is not saying that the Gamblers got an A.W. from the EuroTrash Talkers. Not at all, the Dixie Mafia only got beat by 19-points by the Slovaks, and that is not, officially not – we repeat – not an A.W. However, it is pretty humiliating for anyone to lose to ASlo by that many points. However, there are signs in the Slovakia capital of Bratislava, and dangling from the Carpathian Mountains, and on bridges over the Danube River that read: “Go Slovaks: Congratulations on the A.W. over the Gamblers – Awesome Win.” [By the way, the Gamblers 7-points in Week 7, earned them the “Toilet Seat Team of the Week” award to add insult to injury. Which Adam is also sure to do. And, in fact has already done thru email.]

In Another A.W. - Wildcats Rip Bootleggers:

The 4-wide-out “Spread” worked to perfection this weekend in Central Ohio, as the Rocky Ridge Wildcats took their Wild West Show on the road. When the smoke cleared in North Canton, the James Gang had shot up the Bootleggers and administered a 52-9, complete-and-total A.W. over the Woods Brothers. “Well,” said Jon Wood, “At least I got beat by a fairly decent team, and not by someone like the lowly Slovaks.”

In Yet Another A.W. – Woosiers Whip Woodies:

The Smoke Risers in the Sky swooped into the Black Crick Ballpark this weekend, and caught Kawliga & Company sleeping. And, the Woosiers know just what to do when they catch someone sleeping. Tommy T.’s Woo Crew opened up a 55-gallon drum of WOOp-@$$ and poured it all over the Wooden Warriors. The Smoke Signals going up from the reservation could not bring any relief as the Woosiers scalped the Tribe, 29-8, by – you guessed it – 21-points for the old, proverbial, A.W.

Merlin Miffed by Monday Night Football:

The old Wizard was counting his chickens (war chickens) and what he thought was a sure win late Sunday afternoon. But, after a huge comeback on Monday Night Football – also known as Monday Night Magic (how ironic) – his Pixie Dusters were upended by the Druid City Blitz. And, it wasn’t that close. The “Host with the Most” finally got another BDFL victory, and the celebration in the streets of yuppie-spangled Homewood lasted past Monday Night and into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, and crept their way down the Green Springs Highway to a little place called the Irish Deli, where Jerry Fritz’ Gritz Blitz was the toast of the town, at least for one night/morning.

Mayors Stand Trial - Gets Favorable Verdict Against ’Nauts:

While the “Trial of the Century” continues in Tuscaloosa (Mayor Lowrey Langford had to get a ‘change of venue’ to get a fair trial), the Magic City Mayors continue to roll on in Fantasy Football land. In Week 7, the old Cronies shot down the Jugtown Juggernauts by two touchdowns and a field goal on Sunday. The fact that A.E. is a lawyer did not escape his honor, or his entourage. “Stick that in your hideous corpus,” said one of the many bodyguards for the Honorable Mayor.

Sledheads Can’t Overcome Bonehead:

Mad Jack Barnes’ Mean Machine left the Minnesota defense/special teams on the bench, and left 12-points “off-the-board,” and lost to the Riverchase Cheetahs by nine. The coaching error earns the Fairfield PowerSleds the Scott Hunter “Bonehead of the Week” award. The strange turn of events gives the Cheetahs another win in their quest for their 4th BDFL Championship. The Sin Wagon “did it’s part,” scoring 30-points to become the first team this season to top the 200-point mark. And, while Butch Neal’s felines have tasted vict’ry (and vict’ry chicken) many times before, they have yet to hoist the “big prize,” The Grand Daddy, which they hope to do at the end of the season.

Bullets Chase Grenadiers (the franchise formerly known as the Green Springs Grenades) Back North:

They came across the border from Tennessee into Alabama. They did nothing to try to win the game for 56 minutes. They tried no long passes, no trick plays, no fake punts or fake field goals, and did not ‘go for it’ on fourth and short – trailing by nine points – with just over 5-minutes to go. They did not play to win, they played to keep it close. Then, they got a fumble, a late touchdown, an onsides kick, and everybody thinks their coach did a great job. My @$$. However, in the end, the Mountains rose up out of the ground to block any chances that the northern, teeth-less invaders had of escaping with anything other than a moral vict’ry. The Right Side had won again, and there was celebration in the stadium. (Translation: Bama Beat Tennessee and Bullet beat Chris.)

Halloween I - Grand Daddy Photo of the Week:

Grand Daddies of the Caribbean: The Grand Daddy ‘decked out’ for Halloween: doing the ‘opposite’ of Jerry Seinfeld’s “I don’t want to be a pirate,” and, upstaging Johnny Depp/Captain Jack Sparrow. “Dressing up” for Halloween is an approved and sanctioned use for The Grand Daddy (as long as you don’t dress up as Wham, Boy George, or one of the Village People.)

Halloween II - Photo of the Week, Part Two: Was not acceptable for TheBDFL.com

Pretty Scary: Ladies and Gentlemen, second generation BDFLer Frank Hand, dressed up as a artsy, private college student, celebrating an Alabama vict’ry over the hated Tennessee Vols. “The next best thing to a blow out, is breaking their hearts and stripping their guts out.”
