The Bulletin - Week 8 From underneath a rock in Media Void
The Bulletin – A little late
Woo Crew Outscored by Revved-up Armadillos, 48-34: Well Rookie sensation Kurt Prewitt just keeps on rolling in his inaugural season in the BDFL. In Week 8, his Duncanville Armadillos welcomed Tommy T. and the Smoke Rise Woosiers to the Lone Star State. Then, K.P. proceeded to outscore T.T. in an old-fashioned Texas Shootout. When the smoke finally cleared, the Armadillos had another impressive win, and it was obvious that the Woo Crew still was waiting until later in the season to “peak.”
Mineral Springs Grenadiers Remain Undefeated, Nudge Past Pixie Dusters, 14-9: The Commissioner’s “pride and joy,” his 2012 kamikaze band of football players are “dead last,” in the point total category in the aging, Gray Beard Division. The Mineral Springs Grenadiers are “bringing up the rear,” so to speak. Yet, if you glance at their “won-loss” record, you will note that they are undefeated. The Commissioner (Iron Hand) and the “schedule-maker,” are one-in-the-same, if you are wondering how stuff like this happens in this day-and-age in the BDFL. This past week, the Grenadiers scored only 14-points and would have lost to 12-other teams on Sunday. However, they were matched-up against the pitiful (just pitiful) Pasco County Wizards. So, naturally, the Commissioner got a win against Merlin, who took home the “Toilet Seat Team of the Weak.”
Gamblers Suffer ANOTHER Humbling Loss as Woodies Pick up First Win, 27-18: Finally, the Black Creek Wooden Warriors got their first win of the season, turning back the beleaguered Gulf Coast Gamblers, 27-18. It was a long time coming for the Tribe, but they haven’t given up on the season just yet. As for the Gamblers, they can’t seem to beat a Slovensky or any half-Slovensky’s this season. Kenny Breal is “0-fer” this year against the Fightin' Slovaks and the Hand brothers (half-Slovensky’s).
The miniature and figurative Grand Daddy Award this week goes to the Black Creek Wooden Warriors: We’ll give it to the Woodies for not giving up on the season, and getting a “W.”
Bullet’s Back to .500 with 18-12 Vict’ry Over Mayors: The best-looking Hand Brother (Bullet) got back in the “win column” with a little help on Monday Night Football, and following a pow-wow with Curt & Bucket, Saturday on the Quad. Curt & Bucket advised Bullet to go to “any means necessary,” to defeat the Magic City Mayors. And, ever since the genius – Alan Arrington – passed over the Mannings, Brady, and Aaron Rodgers on “Draft Night,” to go after Cam Newton, the fate for his Cronies has been secured – and that’s a finish in the lower echelon. In Week 8, Cam had ZERO points against the Benton Bullets, and a crucial fumble at the goal line. So now, Cam and his alma-mater (well he only went there one quarter), each have only “1” win in 2012. [Note: Bullet also ran into A.A. on the Quad Saturday and would like to compliment him on his stylish Indian Jones fedora. Bullet also ran into the usual suspects on the quad – Manasco and Gaddy – but also a “blast from the past,” former Rocker – Bill Gauldin. You can’t make this stuff up.]
Slovaks Keep Winning, Drop Mildcats, 17-12: There’s got to be something in the water in Oak Mountain. The Fightin' Slovaks are having a season for the ages. The EuroTrash Talkers continue to put up points and vict’ries in 2012. This past Sunday, the Slovaks entertained the Western Hills Wildcats and notched yet another win.
Cheetahs Top Nauts by a Dozen in Return to Rocket Stadium, 30-18: The unprecedented, four-time, BDFL-Champion Riverchase Cheetahs returned to Rocket Stadium to “self-retire” their famous, Number-22, maroon-and-gray, jersey. “Nobody’s using it anyway,” said Butch Neal. After a small ceremony where Tony Byrd (41) and Randall “Doolie” Fields (18) did the same with their old jerseys, the Cheetahs rolled to an easier-than-expected vict’ry over the home-standing Jugtown Juggernauts.
Three-Toed Tree-Dwellers Hold on to Beat Blitz, 27-25: In Week 8, Mukes had to make a trip to T-Town, to take on the Druid City Blitz. So, the “Son of Slim” made the most out of it. Mukes got Albert’s white Grenada with the yellow canoe tied on top, and hit the railroad tracks on 15th Street as hard as he could. Then, he did it again. After that, Mukes went to Harry’s and put in a few hours behind the bar. He even gave his friends some pitchers of beers – collecting $5 bills, and distributing 4-ones and 4-quarters in change. Following that, Mukes’ Sloth Monsters shot down the Blitz by 2. The next thing he did was “drink himself sober,” so he could drive to Livingston and return Albert’s car. It was just another average weekend for the Three Toed Tree Dwellers.
PowerSleds Edge Dogs, 21-17: Mark Burr’s weekend in Brookside, lying and cheating, and listening to Terry Tarance records and “bad-mouthing his country,” was interrupted by some “real rockers.” The entire entourage of the Winters’ Brothers, Poison, Ratt, and Motley Crue descended on the Banks of the Five Mile Creek, and they brought the Fairfield PowerSleds with them. While the combined Crew was making people’s “ears bleed,” the Mean Machine slipped out with a hard-fought, hard-rock, vict’ry over the Brookside Dogs.
Quote of the week: “Twenty years was enough,” said Bill Gauldin, when Bullet asked him, “Didn’t you used to be a rock star?”
Notables “Rebel Yell”: Fullback Joseph James (of the “James Gang”) helped lead Vestavia Hills to an impressive 34-6 vict’ry over 4th-ranked Mountain Brook on Friday Night. The Rebels are now 8-1 on the season, and Joseph has at-least 5 TDs. |
