Week 6: From the Black Belt to your electronic devices...
Blue Deacons add more misery for Cheethas:
Bellcows (too) remain winless dropping embarrassing game to Bullets:
Another
member of the newly formed “0-6 Club” is the up-start and expansion
Fieldstown Bellcows. This team is mixing bad talent, bad coaching, and
bad luck with poor execution and back-biting and in-house bickering to
remain winless this season in the BDFL. Belrose’s opening foray into
fantasy football could not have started worse. The Bellheads have lost
every game they’ve played and in Week Six they were shot down by the
Benton Bullets. Old chalk dust ran nothing but QB sneaks (see Tom Brady
Thursday Night) and long counts to pull the Bellcows off-sides and keep
the expansion franchise guessing from the opening whistle until the
final gun. Now, the question is: when will the Cheetahs get to play the
Bellcows - so, at least one of them can get a win.
Dogs blindside da Blitz:
In a game
that was decided pretty early, the Brookside Dogs blindsided the Druid
City Blitz, 41-15. It was a complete and total A.W. for Mark’s Mutts,
who look like a real contender in 2019. The Dogs have only lost one game
this season, and are starting to get the attention of everyone who pays
attention to the BDFL standings, records, and notes of interest. Mr.
Mark Burr is trying to remain calm, keeping his “worlds from colliding,”
between the “wrong side of the tracks” in Brookside, to the clean cut,
semi, cul-de-sac of Chestnut Park Lane deep in the hidden Preserve.
However, word is leaking out from both sides of Jefferson County that
the Dogs are dominating and the rent is due. As for the Gritz Blitz… as
least they have the Volunteers coming to town… which means business will
be up at the Nut Shop on 15th, and Druid City will be rocking
with a night game.
Armadillos finally finish off ‘Nauts:
In one of
the closest, hard-fought, and back-and-forth games of the week, the
Jugtown Juggernauts and the Duncanville Armadillos battled for a full
60-minutes in BDFL action. Let’s just say that the ‘Nauts and the
‘Dillos “agreed to disagree,” all through their rough-and-tumble
match-up on the army worm invested playing field at Driver Stadium in
the heart of Gardendale. However, ultimately the home field advantage
could not give A.E.’s girls the vict’ry over K.P.’s possums on the half
shell. That’s right, when this epic battle ended to win went to the team
that had the ball last and that was the visiting Armadillos from Texas
by way of North Carolina. The ‘Nauts were crushed by the narrow
defeated, but vowed to get back to work, to return to the drawing board,
and to close ranks and keep marching.
Grenadiers march past Sleds:
Speaking
of marching, the Mineral Springs Grenadiers kept moving forward at a
steady pace this weekend, and when they had marched off the battlefield
(to the sound of the fife and drums) on Sunday, the team formerly known
as the Grenades, had won the battle and the war vs. the Fairfield
PowerSleds. Everyone knows that it is not easy going into the shadows of
Southern Electric Steel or the Dolodome or Snit Snider Stadium and
coming out with a win. And, it’s never easy to beat the Mean Machine
when Paul “Wrecking” Crew is running the wide open, prison-break
offense. But the Commissioner did go into Fairfield and his Iron team
was able to “steel” a vict’ry on the road by the final score of 31-24.
NOTE: The game was played on the blacktop at Mineral Springs, but nobody
wants to let the facts interfere with a good story.
Monday Night Impact – Part I:
The drama
in the BDFL for Week Six did not end until the Green Bay Packers rallied
for a last-second win on the frozen tundra against the Detroit Lions on
a field goal on the last play of the game. The number one beneficiary
from the NFL and fantasy points scored on Monday Night Football was
Jamin’ Jaimie Hand. Hime had the rather portly Detroit kicker who – in a
losing cause – had 25-points on six field goals (two over 50). Now, the
Fultondale Freebirds had a small lead over the Altadena Dorians going
into the game, so it didn’t so much give the Freebirds the vict’ry, but
it did turn a narrow win into an A.W. And, nobody likes taking home an
A.W., but the Dorians will just have to “grin and bear it,” as they
suffer a humbling defeat at the hands of Kawliga & Company – or – this
year: Ronnie and Friends.
Monday Night Impact Crater – Part II:
The
Western Hills Wildcats looked like they had a win after Sunday’s action.
However, the Gulf Coast Gamblers (also known as Green Bay South) had a
Packers Defense and A-A-Rod going on Monday Night Football. Well, you
can guess where this story is going, especially after reading the
headline. The Gulf Coast/Green Bay Quarterback took a break from his
State Farm commercials long enough to toss a couple of TDs on MNF, and
that was enough to push the Dixie Mafia to a two-point vict’ry over the
“James Gang” at an undisclosed casino (somewhere in “parts unknown”
around either Biloxi, Gulf Port, Gulf Breeze, or Slidell, La.). Kenny B.
& Company were thrilled with the last minute heroics in the last game of
the week. As for the BioCats, they were just glad to finally be directed
to the nearest four-lane, that led to the nearest Interstate, so they
could get the heck outta Dodge.
Monday Night Deep Impact – Part III:
According
to @$$, the Sloth Monsters held a 22-18 lead over the Mayors after the
NFL slate of games was complete on Sunday Night. Now, at this point, no
one is arguing with @$$, and every one is trying to “cut ‘em some
slack,” as the new system tries to catch up with the old
points-scoring-system that will remain nameless (WARTS). Based on some
numbers and metrics dug up by the research staff at The Bulletin, if the
Magic City Mayors were going to come-from-behind on MNF, they needed
some points from their (Green Bay) place-kicker. Well, Mukes apparently
was aware of this situation and tried to get the final score publicized
before the MNF outcome. However, it looks like the Three Toed Tree
Dwellers failed and were unable to hold on (without plausible thumbs) to
vict’ry when the Cronies got a substantial amount of points from their
kicker to give the NFL team (Packers) and the BDFL team (Mayors) a big
win on the proverbial last play of the game and of the week.
Week Six in the Jr BDFL - “It’s
all about the kids.”
In the JrBDFL, based on the inside data collected in Benton, Ala. (pop.
51) over the weekend… all of the Hand Kids of Benton earned wins in Week
Six action, Meredith received a new (used) vehicle, Matthew got her old
one, and Milton came away with some coupons to the Jack’s restaurant in
Selma. The remainder of the week’s activity can be found online through
espn.com if you have the proper clearance, adequate passwords, and
correct user names.
