“Think of another one.” [A.W. #2]

Mark Burr was right on the heels of the high point man of the week, falling just one point behind the Sleds. The Brookside Dogs rolled up 47-points on their way to slaughtering the Benton Bullets with an A.W. of epic proportions 47-9. Yeah, the beleaguered Bullets were held to single digits, in what is quickly becoming a season of absorbing A.W.’s. As for the former Super Banker and now President and CEO of Van Delay Industries (aka Synaflex) is going ALL OUT to try and end his 18-year losing-streak in the BDFL. Bullet – on the “other Hand” – takes home the “Toilet Seat Team of the W

eak” award, wrestling it away from the Fighting Slovaks.

“DuBose is gonna break one off in Spurrier.”

At least the Slovaks came close in Week Three. ASlo in the end, however, was edged by the Sloth Monsters in the slow or hyperbole game of the week (or is that onomatopoeia – you know – a word or words that phonetically imitates or suggest the source of the sound that it describes). So, that would be the latter. Not, ladder… cause the Sloth Monsters don’t need one, cause they’re pretty good climbers – but they are slow – and the Slovaks are just “Slo,” which rhymes with “oh,” and now ASlo is OH-and-3. Long story short, Mukes won; Adam lost. Next game.

“She’s pretty… Pretty ugly.”

After three weeks of tightly contested BDFL action, only one team stands undefeated, and that is the Riverchase Cheetahs. The league’s only 4-time champions are at it again. Butch Neal’s felines won their 3^rd straight to start the season, by killing the Commissioner, 31-19, in the “touch-and-go” bowl off Valleydale Avenue this past weekend. “It’s rolling, baby!” said a thrilled Neal. Meanwhile, old Iron Hand looks to be in a “velvet fog” this season. His Mineral Springs Grenadiers are now keeping company in the League Cellar at 0-3 with just one other team: the Fighting Slovaks. Those are the only two WINLESS teams in the BDFL: Grenadiers and Slovaks. Everybody got that?

“They better show me something.”

Don’t look now, but the ‘Nauts are looking like a Juggernaut. In Week Three, Allyson & her “bunch of girls,” shot down the only other “previously undefeated team,” the Western Hills Wildcats, 30-27, in a shoot-out that would have made A.J. and J.F.F. proud. The Wildcats – as part of the Vestavia Hill Rebels entourage – got an easy vict’ry on Friday Night at Ed Bruce Field at Rocket Stadium. But, when it came to BDFL action on Sunday, Rocket Stadium at Driver Park, was a much tougher place to play. A.E. kept Rockets’ assistants (and defensive geniuses) Willie Wyatt and Curt Jarvis around long enough to poke just enough holes in the “James Gang’s” 4-wide-out attack to notch a vict’ry. Then, they went to Pasqualle’s.

“Hey Blue, call it both ways.”

Speaking of Rockets, old #82 (Jeff Parks) and old number 44 (Tommy Todd) squared off this weekend in the “P.T. Bowl” and we’re not really sure what that stands for. The Pasco County Wizards outscored the Smoke Rise Woosiers, 20-16, but both teams had smiles on their faces following the game. Again, we don’t really have any more details, or we would gladly share them with you all.

“You gotta wheel!”

Or, “you gotta know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em,” or “bet heavy and sleep in the street.” The Gulf Coast Gamblers are familiar with all of these sayings and it apparently paid off as they got a win in Week Three by topping the defending champion Black Creek Wooden Warriors, 29-18. The Woodies are not the gambling type, preferring to play “Funzies,” and basking for years in their achievements in their “other league.” Except that last year, Chief Kawliga’s “other league” was the BDFL. As for the Dixie Mafia, it has been a long time since they climbed to the top of the BDFL mountain.

“You gotta get on an even key.”

Break up the Blitz! The Host with the Most (you choose: Fritz for the Super Bowl Gala or Arrington for the Miller Genuine Draft) won/lost in Week Three. Voting aside, the Druid City Blitz took care of the Magic City Mayors by a touchdown, 31-24. Both teams entered the game at 1-1. But, now the Fritz Gritz Blitz is feeling good at 2-1 on the season, while the Cronies are headed to Ollie’s to regroup after a second straight loss sends them to 1-2.

In case you missed it…

Old roomies, KP and Bucket reunited on the Quad Saturday, and Prewitt’s going back for more this weekend. We (Bullet and Jaimie were tagging along) couldn’t see if Bucket had any shrimp. We sure didn’t get any, “it was pretty expensive.”
