From underneath a rock in Media Void

Living under a rock - It is to be a person who lives in isolation from and has limited knowledge of what is happening in the world around them. Used to describe an ignorant or obtuse person. Usually someone who lives in the basement of their mother's house.

Media Void - A ficticious city in a ficticious country which is free from all types of media and information. Where everybody in the city/state wanders aimlessly around uninformed about everything from the news, to weather, sports and politics.

The BDFL was well represented at the 2014 SEC Football Championship Game in Atlanta, Georgia

The Bulletin - Week 6 Another year with more of the same endless babble (or HDBS)

A Salute to Six (at bottom), Bama Pick 6’s, and Six Packs

Top Dog Woo, Schedule-Maker, Doom Bullets in Week Six:

“Evil schedule-maker screwed me,” said Bullet. “I mean I scored enough points to beat 12 teams in Week Six, but I got hosed.” The team doing the “hosing” was the Defending BDFL Champion Smoke Rise Woosiers. The Woo Crew outscored the Benton Bullets (and everybody else in the League) this past weekend, winning by the final score of 44-33. The effort earned Tommy T’s Team the “Top Dog of the Week” award. As for the old Bullerino, things have turned sour – like an old, hot, gold-labeled Miller, found under a seat – early in the 2015 season. The Bullets started off 2-0, but have now lost 4-in-a-row.

Note: Bullet’s first baseball number was #6, for the Gardendale 9-10 Dixie Youth All Stars, coached by the legendary Ted H. Price. The uniforms were sweet, powder blue. Prior to that, teams did not have numbers, just large sponsor patches sewed on the backs of the jerseys. The team won the sub-district, but lost to Hoover in the District. Bullet’s double-play partner up the middle was Tommy Todd. (#See more famous 6’s at the bottom)

Enquiries Abound After Slovaks Slaughter Gritz Blitz:

Nobody, but nobody, loses by 17-points to the Fighting Slovaks, ever. A full investigation is underway, both by the Bulletin and the BDFL Office. How could the Druid City Blitz be this bad? The final score in consonants and broken numbers on the tattered scoreboard in Oak Mountain read: Slovaks 19 – Blitz 2. “That’s officially pitiful,” said an un-named, anonymous bystander, which is what most bystanders are. ASlo was rappin’ into the wee hours and Slovaks all over the globe, from Brookside to Bratislava were celebrating the big vict’ry. Meanwhile, the Host with the Most, (which is obviously being challenged by Dog) captured the “Toilet Seat Team of the Weak” award, after notching just TWO POINTS in Week Six.

Mayors Maul Mutts:

Speaking of Dog, he figures if he can’t win the BDFL, he should at least go for the “Spirit Award,” and the ‘Host with the Most’ title and any of the other auxiliary awards and designations the League has to offer. He came up short in Week Six for the Toilet Seat honor that went to the aforementioned Blitz. However, Dog did as bad as he could. He scored 4-points. He lost to the lowly Magic City Mayors by a dozen points, 16-4, and he embarrassed the town of Brookside and all the people in the highly-competitive, rubber-making, and latex-sales industry.

More Lowly Awards in A.E.’s Loss to Sloths:

The BDFL Commissioners Office, WARTS, League Office, and The Bulletin continued following WeeK Six action to find teams, coaches, and owners that let everybody down in significant ways over the weekend. You could say the Seinfeld-ian or Festivus “airing of grievances,” if you so desired. Next on the list is the Jugtown Juggernauts, who took home the Scott Hunter-Dan Reeves “Bonehead” of the week designation. The Nauts failed to start RB-James Starks for the Green Bay Packers (he scored 15), who would have single-handedly defeated the Sloth Monsters. Instead, Allyson played two other running backs and suffered the agony of defeat. The Three Toed Tree Dwellers were happy because they got to “hang on” obviously without plausible thumbs to another vict’ry.

Armadillos Road Kill Under the Wheels of the Sin Wagon:

Kurt Prewitt can barely hold his own on the Quad with the Gardendale bunch. Against the Southside Cheetahs he stood even less of a chance this past weekend. Old K.P. & Company were ambushed by the Sin Wagon, 35-12, in the only A.W. of Week Six in the BDFL. The Cheetahs rolled over the ‘Dillos and left them for road kill with no malice of forethought and no long-lasting repercussions.

Woodies Whip Wizards:

The Black Creek Wooden Warriors were a full two touchdowns better than the Pasco County Wizards (the exact difference between a “Hand” and a “Parks”) in Week Six, waxing the Wizards, 35-21. “I waxed the dude,” said Jaimie after the game, before heading to Bucket’s old house, near Jaimie’s house, near the Fultondale-Gardendale line. Parks apparently suffered a broken finger, watched Bo go the wrong way, and witnessed his coach go for it when a field goal would’ve won the game.

Grenadiers Fall to PowerSleds in Fairfield Showdown:

The Gardendale Rockets get a lot of play in the Bulletin. But, the Fairfield Wildcats or Tigers – who can remember – boast two alumni in THE LEAGUE. The Western Hills Wildcats and the Fairfield PowerSleds are proud graduates of the Purple & Gold – or Yellow – who can remember. I just remember beating them 6-0 one year, when I thought I’d get to play (as a back-up, and card-carrying member of the Death Squad), and actually getting to play one year in a blowout for good, old GHS. However, this article is not about the Rockets’ dominance in the late 1970’s and the early 1980’s; it’s about a BDFL game. Jack beat Chris, 31-22, high school affiliations aside.

Mildcats Clawed by Gamblers:

As for the “other” Fairfield BDFL persona, Jerry James & the James Gang, they were summarily defeated by the Dixie Mafia, 27-20 (what happens in Biloxi stays in Biloxi – that should be the motto – on the Gambling Gulf Coast).

Week Six in the Jr.BDFL:

New Total Points leader is the Benton Butterflies; only “undefeated” team – Winston County Walkers; and the only ‘winless’ team is the Lowndes Co. Labs;

Junior League Honors: To Matthew Hand (TE, MLB) and the Pee Wee (5^th-6^th Grade) Morgan Academy football team, which closed out the season “undefeated” at 7-0, and out-scoring their opponents, 188-0; Matthew’s team finished 7-0-1 in 2014, and 7-0-1 in 2013… for a three year streak without losing a game.
