The Quote
of the Week
"No love is lost between
these two mortal enemies which started in 1981 when Jaimie, like older
brother Chris, came up large his senior year and edged the Wizard for the
’81 football season MVP award and the lifetime all-you-can-eat pass to Max's
Family Buffet restaurant that went with it. The Wizard never minded losing
out on the hardware, but the lifetime all-you-can-eat pass was a different
story"
The Quote
of the Week II
"Nevertheless, Butch
Neal’s “Table Dancing Divas” have found a way to not only put together
formidable line-ups each week, but do so impressively enough to remain
unbeaten through three weeks of play prompting the now familiar refrain at
all Cheetah games of “Ho dat? Ho dat? Who dat say dey gon’ beat dem Ho’s?”

Week 4
Juggernauts
vs. Grenadiers
In a senior season for the ages, the “Wolfback” legend was born
plus Chris came up large as he played a key role in taking the
Rocket football and baseball teams deep into the state. After
taking his legendary athletic prowess to Wallace State to play
baseball, Chris then terrorized softball teams from Green
Springs to Abernant before winning multiple titles in the
Godzilla Racin’ Series. Chris then topped this by winning his
first BDFL title in dramatic fashion. That in the two short
years since Chris has moved to Tuscaloosa to become Nick Saban’s
“go-get-me-suck-buddy” still leaves the Great Wizardo shaking
his head. Now instead of putting together championship runs,
Chris spends most of his time at the local convenience store
pickin’ up Lil’ Debbie snack cakes for Saban, probably the
devil’s food ones. How far the mighty hath fallen, how far
indeed.
Wizard’s Winner…the Juggernauts.
Wooden Warriors vs. Wizards
No love is lost between these two mortal enemies which started
in 1981 when Jaimie, like older brother Chris, came up large his
senior year and edged the Wizard for the ’81 football season MVP
award and the lifetime all-you-can-eat pass to Max's Family
Buffet restaurant that went with it. The Wizard never minded
losing out on the hardware, but the lifetime all-you-can-eat
pass was a different story. The rift has widened into a canyon
since then fostered by Jaimie convincing a young but
impressionable Wizard to draft NASCAR teams after he, Jeff
Connor, and some other guy at work picked over the teams like it
was the 4th of July cook out in Brookside at the Slovensky
compound leaving nothing for the Wizard, whose strong horse was
over 60 years old at the time. Jaimie later added salt to the
wound by giving an older but still impressionable Wizard his “B
list” for the Wizard’s rookie year in the BDFL. It’s time for
some pay back.
Wizard’s Winner…Wizards.
Bullets vs. Gamblers
When asked about his senior season at GHS compared to that of
his brothers coming up so large in their own, Bullet responded
tartly, “I was merely large.” Nevertheless, Bullet would go on
to host his own sports radio talk show in Montgomery before
joining the State “Big Brother” machine where he now is in
charge of the government spin, and will likely be lording over
his brothers, and everybody else for that matter, once the
government takes over everything it hasn’t already claimed,
which ain’t much. The Bullets are solid and benefited from a
gift from the schedule maker in Week Three, but the schedule
maker did them no favors this week when they head to New Orleans
to take on Kenny Breal’s “Bayou Big Easies”, who may have their
best team in several years, something the Bullets will witness
first hand on Sunday afternoon.
Wizard’s Winner…the Gamblers.
Sloth Monsters vs. Fighting Slovaks
After getting knocked off in Week Three after watching his stars
spend most of Sunday afternoon clutching their collective
throats and choking away what should have been Sloth’s dubya,
Mukes took a trip to Mike’s Handy Food Store to regroup, re-read
the penal code, and make sure his pistol was in plain view so
the police couldn’t arrest him for carrying a concealed weapon.
Fortunately for Mukes, his “Transylvanian Terrors” will only
need to know a chapters and verses of the penal code to take
down fellow Greenbeard rival Adam Slovensky and his “Urine-peon
Euro Trash” in Week Four in Helena. The Slovaks look good on
paper, assuming it was three years ago when many of his players
were in or much closer to their primes, and rest assured the
Slovaks will look their age this weekend.
Wizard’s Winner…the Sloth Monsters.
PowerSleds vs. Dogs
Jack Barnes and his “Heavy Chevys” exploded for 45 points in
Week Three, and will look to continue their winning ways at Five
Mile Crick in Brookside when they go outside of the Graybeard
Division to battle Mark Burr and the “Fang Gang” who largely
stunk up the joint in Week Three, though not enough to keep them
from beating the Wizards, like the “Long Riders” did on the very
same field so many years ago when their anticipated arrival for
a two ‘n que softball tournament had the locals quaking in fear
about the “ legendary Lawnriders from Tuscaloosa”, a legend that
was quickly punctured when the Long Riders arrived and were
jeered by Hot Dog Sexton as “just a bunch of boys from
Gardendale” before proving it by taking the team from Tuscaloosa
out to the woodshed for a good whuppin’. Five Mile Crick has
seen its share of memorable moments from the fence gobbling up
Barry on a pop up in foul territory by third base to Chris
catching a candy-hop ground ball before bunny hopping twice and
firing a bullet to first where a badly hung over Mukes tried to
catch it with his collar bone. The Sleds are strong, but thinks
they’re riding the Brady bunch a little too much to cover the
hefty spread.
Wizard’s Winner…the Dogs.
Woosiers vs. Mayors
Tommy Todd started off the season with high-powered line up and
visions of a second BDFL title dancin’ before his eyes, and
backed up that vision with an explosive Week One. However, since
then his “Lewd Dudes” have gone down faster than the Hindenburg
in successive defeats before trying to right the ship this week
at Fair Park when they face Alan Arrington and his “Bleeding
Heart Bureaucrats” in a game the Mayors also need if they plan
to keep pace in the Graybeard Division, especially after being
upset by the Grenadiers in Week Three. Attendance at Fair Park
could be sparse since most of the Mayors’ supporters are in
jail, indicted, or out on bail awaiting trial, something that
may be a blessing in disguise for the Mayor faithful after the
Woosiers, no stranger to lewd and lascivious behavior
themselves, seek to cure what ails them, and find a perfect
antidote in the Mayors.
Wizard’s Winner…the Woosiers.
Cheetahs vs. Blitz
The Cheetahs are the dynasty of the BDFL as their four titles
readily attest to, but are being forced to cobble together
line-ups with chewing gum and bailing wire so far in 2011.
Nevertheless, Butch Neal’s “Table Dancing Divas” have found a
way to not only put together formidable line-ups each week, but
do so impressively enough to remain unbeaten through three weeks
of play prompting the now familiar refrain at all Cheetah games
of “Ho dat? Ho dat? Who dat say dey gon’ beat dem Ho’s?” to waft
lazily through the air at the end of each game. Next up for the
Cheetahs are the “Bavarian Bugle Boys from Company B”, who will
welcome the Cheetahs to T-town in hopes of hanging a loss on the
visitors by the end of the weekend. The Blitz haven’t been much
to look at so far in 2011, something that will become even more
obvious by Sunday evening after the visitors put away their
claws..
Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs.
