The Bulletin - Week 4 From underneath a rock in Media Void
Week #4 - Commissioner and his Cronie undefeated at 4-0; Black Creek Wooden Warriors fall to 0-4.
Grenadiers Stay Undefeated in CTSN Game of the Week Win over Wooden Warriors: Is John L. Smith coaching the Black Creek Wooden Warriors? Has the Tribe folded up the teepee? It certainly looks like it. In Week Four, Chief Kawliga and the Renegades barely put up a fight against Big Brother, and the Mineral Springs Grenadiers made ‘em pay. Now, “Poor Ol' Kawliga,” is 0-4 with the season teetering on full-time panic, or salvage mode. Meanwhile, the Commissioner appears to be rockin’ and rollin’ to an impressive start in 2012.
Mayors Move to 4-0, Doubling up the Dogs in the Alabama Power Lights Out Game: Mark Burr’s mangy Mutts ventured down the crooked, and seemingly never-ending, Five Mile Creek this weekend from Brookside, through Cardiff, and parts of Adamsville, Forestdale, and Tarrant City, and eventually ended up in the Magic City to take on the undefeated Mayors. And, Mayor Arrington’s boys took care of the Dogs in the same manor they used to build Birmingham into a Southern Mecca - far surpassing Memphis, Nashville, and Jacksonville. Forget that those cities have major league sports franchises… the Magic City has the Magic City Classic, UAB, and the Mayors, and new baseball park on the horizon that will draw flies. The Mayors also have a 4-0 record that will certainly put a positive spin on the city’s forward and progressive direction.
“Dunchick, Dunchick, I been thinking,” Slovaks lose: “All good things must come to an end, and it’s the same with the wild-wood weed,” twangs an old, old Jim Stafford song. What relevance that has to the Fightin' Slovaks’ streak of vict’ries coming to end, the Bulletin is not sure, but it sure seemed appropriate a few minutes ago. Oh, the Slovaks lost – so that’s a good thing (for the Slovaks) – coming to an end. But, what a favor the 4-time Champion Cheetahs did for the league (BDFL). The Sin Wagon shut down and shut up the EuroTrash Talkers 34-21 this Sunday at Sammy’s, and order has (somewhat) been restored in the Fantasy Football Universe. For his part, ASlo took the loss with more class than anyone could have imagined, imagine that.
The “Slovak Second” Sponsored by ALFA This will only take a second: “static…” The Bulletin has only static to report this week for the Slovak Second.
The miniature Grand Daddy Award this week goes to the Cheetahs: They’ve won four real Grand Daddy trophies, but the Riverchase Cheetahs get the figurative, weekly, Grand Daddy recognition for shutting up the Slovaks. “Somebody had to do it,” said Butch. “Put that in your Slovak Second.”
Bullets Move to 3-1 with Defensive Effort in Beau Rivage Rivalry Game: The Gulf Coast Gamblers lost to the Benton Bullets in a defensive, old-fashioned, grind-it-out, three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust, throw-back game Sunday, 14-7. Now, the WARTS will probably regale at the seemingly “low point total” for the Bullets, but their undisputable record in the BDFL now stands at 3-1 for the franchise with more BDFL all-time vict’ries that anyone else. (It’s in WARTS too. You can look it up.) As for the Gamblers, let’s review their dismal 2012 thus far: they sent a son to Lee County Community College; and the same (genius) son to draft for them, they take an A.W. from the Lowly Slovaks, and now they lay down and wallow at a big home game at the Beau Rivage. “Dixie Mafia,” said Bullet. “Yeah, that’s a good one. Like (the real) Naut, Roddy, and Uncle Ray – and the guys we grew up with couldn’t handle those slackers from Mobile.”
Blitz Blind-sided by Rouge Armadillos, 40-28: Pity the Druid City Blitz: They’ve been beaten up and down so far this season, and things didn’t get any better for the “Host with the Most,” in Week Four. The Blitz was shot down and run over by an expansion team this weekend. Kurt Prewitt’s upstart Armadillos had by far their best BDFL showing in Week Four, running up 40-points in route to a big vict’ry. “When it said somebody besides a ‘Hand’ on the schedule, I felt pretty good about it,” said KP shortly after the vict’ry. (Now, the Bulletin is just quoting, not calling anybody short.)
Up and Down Elevator Game goes to Wildcats (sponsored by Kone, Otis, or Dover* or Collage): The BioCats are back! It’s not really that far from Silver Lakes to Rocky Ridge, at least not literally. But, figuratively and ideologically the two destinations could not be farther apart. Mukes found that out the hard way this Sunday, when he was turned away with prejudice from Rocky Ridge and given a tough 15-point BDFL loss, and told to get his White Grenada (with a yellow canoe tied on top) out of the neighborhood, along with his Miller Ponies, Skoal, mag wheels, and four-on-the-floor. The James Gang is back with a vengeance in 2012, especially since they found out that all of the games they missed last year in their one-year, BDFL-exile, are being considered for “forfeits” in the official fantasy football record books. *We can’t keep up with who Mukes is working for (or against). But, we’ll cash the checks.
No. 1 A.W. of the week: PowerSleds 46 - Wizards 19 in Healthsouth Humanitarian Bowl: HealthSouth kicked in more in sponsorship money than Synaflex, so this A.W. gets top billing over the following A.W. (see below). The Bulletin has buried the A.W.’s this week at the bottom of the publication, and it has everything to do with “total editorial control,” and doesn’t even take into account “who is paying the bills.” The ominous cloud of the PowerSled descended (or rose from the depths) on Tampa Town this weekend, and delivered an eye-splitting, ear-bleeding, nose-crunching, A.W. to the unsuspecting Pasco County Wizards. The Mean Machine took old Merlin out to the woodshed. This one was never close. The defending champions served notice that they will be a force to be reckoned with this season in the Big Daddy Football League.
No. 2 A.W. - Nauts’ Bra Straps Snap in Synaflex’s “That’s a Stretch” Game: Tommy Todd gave A.E. an A.W. in Week Four. That’s all the ink we could afford this week (sorry Woo that we couldn’t pontificate more on your big win against a girl).
Quote of the week: “Big fun… we do this every year,” said Allyson Edwards, at her annual ‘Cousins on the Quad’ event prior to the Alabama vs. Ole Miss game (We assume she was talking about that and not an annual loss to the Woosiers).
Notables: Matthew Hand’s Morgan Academy team (3rd-4th grade) not only remained undefeated by beating Monroe Academy, 12-8, but little brother Milton, “scobbed a guys knob,” in the post-game, playground area. [Send us your notes on your younger ones, (we’re running out of ammo) and we’ll add it to the Bulletin.] |
