Brookside Dogs Administer A.W. to Blitz, 48-10

The 14-year losing streak could be coming to a halt. The Brookside Dogs are on a roll as we head for the home-stretch in the BDFL on our way to the Big Daddy Championship Series. Mark’s Mutt virtually punched their ticket in Week 12 – The Dirty Dozen tribute weekend – in the BDFL. The ex-Super Banker took the Homewood-Edgewood Boulevard Blitz to the cleaners in A.W. fashion. This one was never close as the Dogs poured it on by 38-points. When Brookside got ahead 24-0 early, they put their hob-nail boots on the necks of the yuppie-spangled Fritz’ and stepped down hard. So, the rest of the league can now be forewarned “beware of Dog.”

Eliminated Woodies Whip Sloths, 35-23

Old Kawliga & Company may have already been eliminated from the BDCS and relegated to the lowly post-season Mullet Series, but the Tribe is still playing some ball. With nothing but Pride on the line, the Woodies whipped the Sloth Monsters this weekend like a rented Mukes. As for the Three Toed Tree Dwellers, they were done-in by their coach, who takes home the “Bonehead of the week” award for playing the wrong running back (a loss of 12-points). Had the Sloths had the right guy in their starting line-up, they could have at least forced overtime.

Bullets Choke Against Slovaks, 29-13

“Bullet down, Chris and Jaimie to go,” emailed an ecstatic Adam Slo after his Fighting Slovaks pulled an upset on the road against the Benton Bullets at Rebel Stadium in Hayneville. The Bullets had the Pi Cap Caravan down by an early 13-0 lead, but then pulled one of the biggest choke jobs in BDFL hist’ry. Now, they will have to hear about it for quite some time from Cousin Adam, who loves to talk some EuroTrash online, via twitter, email, and face book. A sample: “Bullet's in mourning.” And, “Does anyone have a corkscrew I can borrow? I feel like a celebration. ASlo out.”

Wizards Silence Dixie Mafia, 29-23

The Dixie Mafia apparently ain’t what it used to be. How can you let a bunch of thugs from Central Florida come up to the Redneck Riviera and push you around? Well, that’s exactly what happened in Week 12 on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Jeff Parks’ Pixie Dusters reigned in Dixie. Let that one sink in for a while. Merlin and his practically woebegone Wizards rose to the occasion to drop the Gamblers at parlor games and teach Kenny Breal a lesson in “real dealing.” Meanwhile, back in Gator Country the Wizards are still mathematically eligible for a shot at the BDCS. By the way, the Gamblers are not. They’re loss keeps them on the coast for the post-season at the Mullet (Toss) Series at the Florabama.

Grenadiers Kick Bootleggers, 27-22

After the “fluke of the universe” got Old Iron in the BDCS last year, the Defending Champion Capstone Grenadiers are practically a lock for the Big Dance in 2010. The Gut Grenades lead the Gray Beard Division by a wide margin and are well over the .500 mark (the Bullet Rule). On Sunday, the Grenadiers ventured north of the border and dispatched the Bootleggers by five in a game that was never as close as the final score would indicate. In fact, it was over early in time for Chris and Jon Wood to take in the beloved Cleveland Browns’ miraculous win over the Carolina Panthers in NFL action. In case you didn’t know, the Bootleggers have long since been eliminated from the winner’s bracket.

Cheetahs Subdue Woo Crew, 23-18

Tommy Todd’s lead is so big in the rugged Red Neck Divison (nearly 100-points) that he has been able to rest some of his starters in the last couple of weeks. In Week 12, Woo got some R & R of his own with a trip to Sammy’s. The ever-feisty Cheetahs however did not take this one lying down. The Sin Wagon is on a vision quest to capture an unprecedented 4th BDFL title, and they did not take the Smoke Risers in the Sky lightly. Butch’s Cats took the money (all ones, of course) and ran, notching clutch win number 7 to all but ensure themselves a spot in the Big Dance in three weeks.

Mayors Maul Mildcats, 20-10

Jerry James’ Mildcats were eliminated from the BDCS in humiliating fashion by the Magic City Mayors this weekend. They didn’t even put up a fight. They just took the beating and started their Santa Claus list early with a list that includes a new chemistry set and some Harry Potter DVDs. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Cronies are pretty much locked into the Big Dance and may actually make some noise (other than the cheering and rear-kissing that earns them the BDFL Spirit Award every year) in the post-season.

Sleds Naut Good Enough to Top Girls in OT

Let’s get to more Dirty Dozen stuff, I can’t concentrate. Oh yeah, Allyson beat Jack in OT and she is a lock for the BDCS. Mad Jack – like Bullet, Mukes, Parks, and Fritz – is stuck with a record of 5-7 and must win their next two games to have a chance at the Big Dance.

From 1969: The Dirty Dozen

If you have never seen the Dirty Dozen, you should be kicked out of the BDFL as quickly as possible. Or, you can remedy the situation by renting it or buying it or downloading it (or flipping over to TBS) and watching it now. Here are the answers from the Dirty Dozen quiz at the top:

Lee Marvin – Maj. Riesman

Charles “Chuck” Bronson – Waterslaw (Wladislaw)

Teddy Savalas – Maggott

Jim Brown – Jefferson

Donald Sutherland – Pinckley

Earnest Borgnine – Gen. Worden

Rex Ryan – Col. Breed

George Kennedy – Maj. Armbruster

Trini Lopez – Jiminez

John Cassavetes - Franco
