The Wizard has been trying to predict the BDFL for 16 years

www17 2012

Wooden Warriors vs. Armadillos

There was a time when of the Crimson Tide baseball team Kurt Prewitt stared down Roger “the Rocket” Clemens in the College World Series before takin’ “The Rocket” yard. Okay, maybe Kurt didn’t take Clemens yard, but it certainly reads better that way and the Great Wizardo has, as is his wont, decided to take license by not letting the facts get in the way of a good story. Unfortunately for the Armadillos, Sunday will not have a storybook ending.

Wizardz Winner…the Wooden Warriors.

Gamblers vs. Grenadiers

When addressing his troops (more like jack-booted thugs if you ask the Wizard) about what was best in life, the Wolfback uttered “To destroy my enemy, see him flee before me, and hear the lamentations of their women. Especially that part about hearing the ‘lamentations of their women’.” While the Wizard doesn’t see things degenerating to that level of debauchery, expect the Grenadiers to sweep the enemy from the field of battle.

Wizardz Winner…the Grenadiers.

Mayors vs. PowerSleds

From even before medieval days up through the Victorian era and until, it can be argued, World War I, or the Great War as it was called at the time since obviously no one knew their might be a sequel, families of the nobility were so particular about with whom they would breed with that they were often forced to marry too close to the gene pool. While that ensured royal bloodlines were not tarnished by the blood of commoners, it was also a great way to breed idiots leading to a world governed by idiots. Many cataclysmic wars have been fought, World War I being chief among them where two cousins that between could not pour urine out of boot with the directions on the hill (the German Kaiser and the Russian Tsar), and unimaginable human suffering inflicted by such practices. The Wizard isn’t quite sure Alan’s “Merry Monarchs” have reached that stage, but if they had, the Wizard suspects they could still take down the Sleds.

Wizardz Winner…the Mayors.

Cheetahs vs. Blitz

The Wizard has often warned of teams restin’ on their laurels, yet despite these dire warnings it seems readily apparent to the legendary prognosticator that is the Wizard that Butch spent more time polishing his multiple BDFL titles than preparing for this year’s draft. Of course, ELVO, as is often the case, was bedazzled by the Cheetahs as evidenced by a 5.5 point spread. The Wizard doesn’t think ELVO was smoking crack when he made this prediction, but grants it is highly likely he was mainlining heroin.

Wizard’s Winner…the Blitz.

Bullets vs. Wildcats

Ronny Van Zant of the quintessential southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, may God rest his soul, once crooned “Gimme’ back my bullets….put ‘em back where they belong.” After an at best suspect draft day performance, Bullet would need to edit that line to “Bring me back my bullet” a la Deputy Barney Fife’s lone round of ammo. Unfortunately for Bullet, the joke will be on them come Sunday evenin’. Even with ELVO layin’ 7.5.

Wizardz Winner…the Wildcats.

Wizards vs. Juggernauts

While Barry may be the undisputed “genius” of this motley crew, which may be akin to the title of “King of the Dip$h1t$” as anything else, the Wizard having Barry draft for Wizards may be the BDFL equivalent of taking a knife to a gunfight. Case in point, while Jeremy Maclin of the Eagles, the Wizard’s fifth receiver, is certainly a marquee player, he generally needs more than one healthy ACL to make that case, something he doesn’t have at the moment.

Wizard’s Winner…the Juggernauts.

Fighting Slovaks vs. Woosiers

The Wizard always says you can take the Slovensky out of Brookside, except for the 4^th of July when every Slovensky on the face of the planet congregates within a two mile radius of Five Mile Crick Ballpark, but taking the Brookside out of the Slovensky is a much tougher task. Not that being successful in taking the Brookside would be anything to brag about since all you'd be left with a Slovensky. I think this what you call one ‘a them paradoxes.”

Wizardz Winner…the Woosiers.

Dogs vs. Sloth Monsters

Mike Dismukes and the “Limb Loungers” are poised to raise a ruckus (“Can you describe the ruckus?”) in the BDFL in 2013 after a draft day performance that will keep them in the title hunt from day one while the “Coalburg K-9’s”, while perhaps not a shoo in to go dancing beginning Week 16, more than held their own during the 2013 draft. The Wizard doesn’t know if the Dogs can take a bite of crime in Brooksdie, or that anyone could tell if they did, but the Sloth Monsters will have a chunk missing from their backside when they turn for home on Sunday night, or at least a big enough piece for the Dogs to cover the +4.5.

Wizards Winner…the Dogs.
