Ladies and Gentlemen of the TSL Universe, it’s time for you to put up or shut up. The TSL Fall 2022 season is officially on the back end as we roll into Week 6. Teams early season hopes have been dashed, while others are just starting to figure out how to play football this season. Some teams have dominated from the start and continue to, other teams have begun looking into something more their speed for the spring, like competitive hide and go seek or mini golf at Putt-Putt Golf and Games.

 

While the Fall 2022’s story is only half over, we’ve begun to realize where it’s going to go. At this point, teams are who they are. Barring a magical comeback nobody expected (that’s also legal, for the record) or a tragic injury that can wipe out a team’s championship dreams, it’s pretty easy to see the path most teams will be taking to the playoffs.

 

Once we get there, of course, all of this completely goes out the window as chaos tends to reign in the playoffs, which is what makes them so exciting. After five very hot weeks that should’ve convinced any TSLer that was still on the fence that global warming is real, I’ve been told that the weather has finally broken in Buffalo, and starting Saturday you’ll be seeing actual “football weather” temperatures in the low to mid 60s (It’ll still be 80 here in Des Moines). What does that mean? It means less sunburn, more windy games, perhaps some rain and what equates to a slightly different season than the one we’ve seen so far.

 

So let’s see how we got here:

 

 

D1:

 

This Week’s Games:

Tight Ends In Motion 38, Grey Hair Don’t Care 8

Tight Ends In Motion 47, Legends 16

Legends 50, Scared Hitless 42

Eyes Downtown 44, Sticky Bandits 15

Frodo Swaggins 43, Passed Our Prime 41 (D1/D2 Crossover Game)

 

 

Tight Ends In Motion are back, and after abusing the Legends, they’ve established themselves as the D1 team to beat. They also tacked on a win against Grey Hair. The Legends would go on to be 1-1 on the day, getting a win against a very spry Scared Hitless team. Speaking of back, Eyes Downtown is starting to turn on the jets with a big win over Sticky Bandits. And lastly, Frodo Swaggins continues to prove they’re D1 material with an “upset” over Passed Our Prime in the crossover game.

 

Championship Odds:

 

The Contenders:

 

Tight Ends In Motion (3-1)

Legends (7-1)

Eyes Downtown (7-1)

 

The Pretenders:

 

Sticky Bandits (10-1)

Scared Hitless (15-1)

Grey Hair Don’t Care (20-1)

Passed Our Prime (25-1)

 

The Season So Far: Tight Ends In Motion are MORE than “back”. The TSL’s #1 ranked team overall are 6-0, and looked so significantly better than the Legends this weekend that I don’t know if TEIM can be beat. The Legends are 6-1, only losing to TEIM so far, but their defense hasn’t been very good and the chances of a repeat seem a lot dimmer than they did a few weeks ago. Eyes Downtown started a little shaky, but they’re 4-2 and have been playing quite well for a bit now, as the new players are finally starting to mesh into the system. It seems to be a three horse race for the title at this point in time. Sticky just isn’t the Sticky we’ve seen in the past. The offense seems downright anemic at times, even if the defense has held up. If one of the “bottom four” teams in D1 can figure it out in the next few weeks, however, it’s the Bandits. Scared Hitless is slowly showing that they can hang in D1, and if they keep the band together for the Spring (and maybe add a piece in there), they’ll be just fine. They’re doing okay on both sides of the ball as they adjust a little better each week across the board. Grey Hair seems a bit out of place in D1, and the biggest issue for them has been their defense. They struggle to stop anyone, and their offense isn’t good enough to overcome that this year. Lastly, Passed Our Prime made the jump up after winning D2, they lost the crossover game, and they’re not having the season they dreamed of in the offseason. They have the talent to give a team fits in any game, but it hasn’t really been put together this year for whatever reason.

 

 

This Week’s Games:

 

Tight Ends In Motion vs Scared Hitless (+8) - Well, this is a fun matchup to get started on this week. TEIM’s win over the Legends didn’t just show the world they’re the team to beat, it also gave them the very important tiebreaker win in case these teams end up tied. Right now, they’re in the driver’s seat for the bye week as well. As much as missing a week of football isn’t fun, its a lot better than potentially ending up in the 2v3 game and playing Legends/Eyes Downtown in Round 2. SH just narrowly lost to the Legends, so this is yet another “prove it” game for them, and I do think they’ll be ready for the game, but TEIM is just everything right now. TIGHT ENDS IN MOTION BY 10

 

Eyes Downtown vs Passed Our Prime (+15) - Eyes Downtown has an outside shot at the bye week, but it’s hard to envision TEIM losing multiple games this season. As a result, they seem locked into the potential 2v3 matchup in the playoffs. That means they have 3 more games to continue to come together as a team. They’re going to be a tough out for anyone at this point. As for POP, there’s no denying their male talent, but they’re in desperate need of another stud female to really make a difference here. That’s priority #1 for Hogan’s offseason. I can feel it. EYES DOWNTOWN BY 13

 

D1/D2 Crossover Game

 

Sticky Bandits vs The Replacements (+20) - It comes as no surprise to anyone in the TSL that as soon as Jeff Krol starts helping Topper with the schedule, Sticky gets the crossover game against the 50th ranked TSL team. We’ll completely ignore that nobody had any idea heading into the season what would unfold. There isn’t much to say here, except that Sticky gets a much needed slumpbuster. Sometimes when things aren’t going well, you just take home the last girl (or guy) in the bar at 3am and don’t tell your friends for a while. STICKY BANDITS BY 25

 

 

D2:

 

Last Week’s Games:

Buffalo Vice Retro 35, The Replacements 6

DILFs 48, The Untouchaballs 46

No Punt Intended 54, Freeballers 29

No Punt Intended 36, DILFs 21

Buffalo Vice Retro 20, Freeballers 13

 

Buffalo Vice Retro was almost the story of the week in D2, as they finally got in the win column not once, but twice! While that was well deserved, the story of the week is truly the arrival of No Punt Intended as a very, very real threat to Frodo’s hold on D2. Its only thing to dunk on the Freeballers (who went 0-2), and another thing to beat the DILFs pretty handily. Speaking of the DILFs, some late game heroics by Rogo lead to a big win over the Untouchaballs in the game of the day.

 

Championship Odds:

 

The Contenders:

 

Frodo Swaggins (3-1)

No Punt Intended (3-1)

DILFs (6-1)

The Untouchaballs (6-1)

 

 

The Pretenders:

 

Buffalo Vice Retro (20-1)

Freeballers (20-1)

 

The Replacements:

 

The Replacements (10,578,258 to 1)

 

The Season So Far: Frodo Swaggins came out firing from the get go, running to a 5-0 lead, winning their crossover game, and looking every bit the only dominant team in D2, starting the “These guys should probably be in D1” conversations all over the league. And then, No Punt Intended started playing. Despite losing to Scared Hitless in a wild crossover game for their first game as a team, NPI has been on a tear themselves, beating the bottom teams in D2 to end up 4-1, and about the same averages in Points For and Against as Frodo. They’ve played very similar teams so far. The DILFs just escaped The Untouchaballs, but they’re right where they always are at this point: somewhere in the middle of the standings, hovering around .500. This season they’re just 3-4 instead of 4-3. The Untouchaballs are 2-3, but those losses are as follows: lost by 2 to the DILFs, lost by 2 to Frodo, and they lost the crossover game to Tight Ends In Motion. They’re MORE than fine, and they’ll be able to compete for this title as well. On one hand, Buffalo Vice Retro has been abysmal offensively, and looked out of place all season. On the other hand, they’re 2-0 in their last two games. It’s all about perspective. Finding their offense in the second half of the season is imperative for any form of a playoff run. The Freeballers are a football team. But are they a good one? Not really. Other than a surprising win over the DILFs early on, this team has gotten kicked in the teeth in every game they’ve played if we ignore the “oh we’ll run up the score to look good against The Replacements” game. This team is just missing that special something they’ve had in the past. Finally, The Replacements. It’s okay. You picked to be in D2 not really knowing what was in store. I hope you’re not completely down on yourselves and you come back in the spring in the proper division (D5?) so you can start playing some good games. It happens.

 

 

This Week’s Games:

 

Frodo Swaggins vs Buffalo Vice Retro (+14) - Frodo looks to come out hot as they can feel NPI nipping at their heels for the bye. BVR is just looking to build on last week’s big wins, but this just isn’t the game for them. FRODO SWAGGINS BY 12

 

Frodo Swaggins vs No Punt Intended (EVEN) - Absolutely the game of the day, the top 2 teams in D2 get to learn about each other this weekend. Both teams have good guys you haven’t really heard of much, both teams have washed up former WRs as QBs now, and both teams have talented females. This is a coin flip, so I’m flipping one. NO PUNT INTENDED BY 3

 

D3:

 

Last Week’s Games:

Bullet Club 46, 716 26

Can’t Touch This 38, Practice Squad 32

Get Schwifty 29, Scott Seniors Starting 14

Itches and Ohs 22, Get Schwifty 12

Mountain Dew Me 34, Scott Seniors Starting 16

 

Bullet Club puts in another good effort against 716, moving to 5-0 on the season. Can’t Touch This evens their record at 2-2 with a nice win over a struggling Practice Squad. Get Schwifty finally gets a win, beating SSS who are doing their usual slow down after a nice start thing, going 0-2 on the day. And Itches and Ohs took a win from Get Schwifty as well.

 

Championship Odds:

 

The Contenders:

 

Bullet Club (4-1)

Scott Senior’s Starting (5-1)

 

The Kind Of Contenders:

 

Mountain Dew Me (8-1)

Itches and Ohs (10-1)

716 (10-1)

Can’t Touch This (12-1)

 

The Pretenders:

 

Get Schwifty (17-1)

Practice Squad (25-1)

 

The Season So Far: Bullet Club remembered how to play football, and the move to D3 was the right one for sure. They’re playing well on both sides of the ball, and after half a season have established themselves as the team to beat in D3. Scott Senior’s Starting can score quite well, but they’re rough on the defensive side of the ball which has led to some questionable losses. Mountain Dew Me is 3-1, but other than a win over SSS (which shouldn’t go unnoticed), they’ve split with a bad Practice Squad team, and squeaked out a win over Get Schwifty. They’re 2-1 against the worst teams in the division, so there’s a lot to be learned about them over the next 4 weeks. Itches and Ohs are another team that just feels off to me. They’re not scoring like they normally would, but on the plus side they’ve seemed to get better on defense. You can’t take them lightly. 716 has a great roster on paper but it seems like they’re struggling to get on the same page. They’re only 2-2, so there’s a lot of room to grow even in this season. Same goes for Can’t Touch This, who are a mirror image of 716 in that they’re 2-2 with a strong armed QB. They really need to step it up on defense, and they can make some waves here as well. Get Schwifty has a nice mix of new and old players, but right now they’re not putting anything together. The jury is still out here, but it doesn’t look too promising. Practice Squad is all over the place. The offense isn’t consistent this time around and they look to be fighting the ball a bunch. Their usually stout defense is worst in the division. Sometimes its just not your year, and that might be what’s happening here.

 

This Week’s Games:

 

Bullet Club vs Mountain Dew Me (+8) - If MDM is going to be a legit D3 contender, a win here cements that. That gives them two wins over quality D3 teams, and they’ll hold any tiebreaker edges. MDM’s speed against the aging, veteran BC is going to be a fun watch. This might be the hardest game left for BC as they attempt to go from 0-9 to 9-0 in one season. BULLET CLUB BY 12

 

Scott Senior’s Starting vs 716 (+9) - Basically write everything I had for MDM above and apply it to 716. They’ve got a big “prove it” game against SSS this week after losing to BC last weekend. If any of these teams were bothered by only being labeled as “kind of” contenders, this is the week to really prove it. Meanwhile, SSS is on cruise control, but they’ll be looking to snap out of the funk. SCOTT SENIORS STARTING BY 8

 

Mountain Dew Me vs 716 (+3) - And on top of it all, these two have to play each other. If they’re truly bothered by being labeled a “kind of” contender, here’s your prove it game. MOUNTAIN DEW ME BY 2

 

Itches and Ohs vs Can’t Touch This (EVEN) - D3 stays on fire this week with this matchup between two teams that are putting the finishing touches on really figuring it out this season. I think the Itches and Ohs defense plays right into the strengths of Can’t Touch This, and we’re going to see a high scoring affair. CAN’T TOUCH THIS BY 8

 

Get Schwifty vs Practice Squad (EVEN) - The two current “pretenders” who are both in dire need of another win this season get their best chances to do so in this one. These two teams are pretty even, and while PS is struggling on defense, GS isn’t able to take advantage of that with its not too great offense. Look for B to finally get into a groove this season. PRACTICE SQUAD BY 17

 

 

D4:

 

Last Week’s Games:

 

Spinelli’s Plumbing 54, Travis Henry’s Kids 30

Buffalo Vice 32, Cobblestone 22

Cunning Stunts 51, Zack Attack 48

Puckett All-Stars 46, TOX 12

 

The high scoring offenses of the Stunts, Spinelli’s, and Puckett were all on display this week, as all three teams that have scored over 240 points so far this season put up huge numbers. Special shout out to Zack Attack dropping 48 in a loss to the Stunts. Meanwhile the other losers this week: THK, Cobblestone, and TOX are all in the very dangerous “miss the playoffs” zone which means there are some big games coming up here. Lost in all of that was Buffalo Vice getting their first win of the season as well.

 

 

Championship Odds:

 

The Contenders:

 

Cunning Stunts (4-1)

Puckett All-Stars (5-1)

Spinelli’s Plumbing (8-1)

Zack Attack (8-1)

 

 

The Almost Theres:

 

Interdimensional Lightning Falcons (11-1)

Vaspian (15-1)

 

The Pretenders:

 

Travis Henry’s Kids (20-1)

Buffalo Vice (20-1)

Cobblestone (25-1)

TOX (30-1)

 

The Season So Far: Another year, another round of the Stunts being 6-0 halfway through the season and just beating up on most teams, with a few close calls. Same story it always is. The big surprise is Puckett having a fantastic season so far. They’re 5-1, only losing to the Stunts in Week 1. They can score, they’re defending well, and things are lining up nicely for them. Whatever caused Spinelli’s hiccup for nearly a full season there (I’m blaming the jerseys), it seems to be over. They’re back to scoring a lot of points and winning games and if they shore up the defense ever so slightly, they’ll be a big title contender. Same goes for Zack Attack, which feels weird to say. ZA isn’t nearly as lights out as they used to be on the defensive side of things, but it doesn’t matter because they’re averaging 37.2 points per game, which i’m pretty sure is double what they normally do. ILF is a team that can easily jump into “contender” status, but right now they’ve only played 4 games: They’re 3-0 against the current 8-10 seeds in the standings, and they got slapped by Spinelli’s. I don’t know who they are just yet. The same can be said for Vaspian. Vaspian is 2-3, and they have a bad offense right now. Their usual top defense is still doing well. But they haven’t had their QB all season, and Brian is going to make his big return this week or next. Either way, better days are ahead for them. THK is sitting in 10th, I’m aware, but this team is a lot better than they’ve shown. If they end up winning those two games they lost by a point, they’re 2-2 and it’s a different conversation we’re having. Their schedule gets a bit easier as the season goes on. I’d say that at this point, every game is a playoff game for them, but we don’t need John crumbling in Week 6.  Buffalo Vice finally got a win with Andy back at QB, but this season hasn’t been all that fun for this squad as they’ve had an unfortunate struggle on the defensive side of things. Cobblestone has had a rough season of course, none of which is Darryl’s fault. They’re scoring at a pretty decent rate, but they can’t stop anyone which is the big problem. Finally, TOX can’t score. They’re playing a lot better than originally thought, but I think they’re still odds on favorites to not make the playoffs.

 

This Week’s Games;

 

Spinelli’s Plumbing vs Cobblestone (+11) - Spinelli’s can score. A lot. Cobblestone can’t stop anyone. This could be pretty lopsided. SPINELLI’S PLUMBING BY 19

 

Zack Attack vs Buffalo Vice (+12) - Same as above. Zack Attack is scoring at will these days and they’re going up against the lowest ranked defense in D4. Not a recipe for success for Vice. ZACK ATTACK BY 15

 

Vaspian vs Travis Henry’s Kids (+5) - A good test for Brian’s return as two struggling offenses meet up to get things going on track. These two teams really could use a win. However, despite the losses, THK has had their QB throwing the whole season, and Vaspian’s has some rust to shake off. Plus, THK has Pistol Pete. TRAVIS HENRY’S KIDS BY 10

 

Travis Henry’s Kids vs TOX (+7) - Same idea as above, except against a slightly worse defense. TRAVIS HENRY’S KIDS BY 14

 

Puckett All-Stars vs Interdimensional Lightning Falcons (+9) - Here’s ILF’s shot to show us who they are. Hopefully Andrew has his team ready to go against PAS, because I know PAS is ready for them. PUCKETT ALL-STARS BY 13

 

Cunning Stunts vs TOX (+17) - The Stunts are going to score in bunches as they always have, and TOX is going to struggle to keep up over the course of the game. They just lack the female talent to run with superstars of the Stunts. CUNNING STUNTS BY 16

 

Interdimensional Lightning Falcons vs Vaspian (EVEN) - This should be a very good game that comes down to which defense blinks first. I don’t think it’ll be very high scoring, but it’ll still be entertaining nonetheless. INTERDIMENSIONAL LIGHTNING FALCONS BY 7

 

D5:

 

Last Week’s Games:

 

Woodpeckers 24, Passing While Intoxicated 24 (Tie)

Come From Behind 26, Today’s Feast 18

TMA 43, Come From Behind 22

TMA 36, Let’s Get Reccked 20

 

TMA continues their absolute dominance over the division, going 2-0 against arguably their toughest and weakest competition this season. Come From Behind rebounds from the TMA loss with a win over Today’s Feast. The Woodpeckers and PWI combine for a 24-24 tie as both teams work through some roster shuffling.

 

Championship Odds:

 

The Contender:

 

TMA (2-1)

 

The “Best Shot At Beating TMA” Contender:

 

Come From Behind (4-1)

 

The Pretenders:

 

Passing While Intoxicated (10-1)

Today’s Feast (12-1)

Woodpeckers (20-1)

Let’s Get Reccked (30-1)

 

The Season So Far: TMA has been running through everyone pretty easily, save for a matchup with Come From Behind, who are the only team to really give them a run for their money this time around. TMA is just on another level. CFB can definitely compete with them, and they’ve shown it already this season. PWI couldn’t ride the playoff success from last season into this one, and they’ve been all over the place this year. Today’s Feast is consistently improving, and while 2-3 isn’t the best record, they’re figuring things out on both sides of the ball and they’re in just about every game they play. The Woodpeckers went out and won the D6 title last season out of nowhere, but it seems like half of that team is still out celebrating that win and not coming to the fields this season. Hopefully they show up more in the second half. Let’s Get Reccked is what Not So Sticky would be if the people on NSS didn’t know how to play football either. It’s been a rough season for LGR so far.

 

 

This Week’s Games:

 

TMA vs Woodpeckers (+20) - I’ve listened to the podcast each week, and they say the same thing about TMA every week: “It was a complete team game. Ryan Henery threw Lights Out. Val Testa was fantastic and scored a bunch of TDs. Brent is the best.”. The point is that this team is on fire and they keep replicating what has made them good this season. It’s just rinse and repeat at this point for them, and I can’t fathom that a Woodpeckers team that has no stability currently can beat them. TMA BY 28

 

Passing While Intoxicated vs Today’s Feast (+1) - PWI has rotated through 3 QBs this season, and they’ve been all over the place. Not sure how Colorado Mike let this happen, but until PWI gets consistency from everyone, it’s going to be a long second half of the season. Today’s Feast needs to email me so I can learn who is on this team and what their deal is. I’m loving their consistency this season though. TODAY’S FEAST BY 1

 

Come From Behind vs Lets Get Reccked (+10) - If TMA didn’t exist, we’d just be talking about how CFB is walking to a title. They’re still a cut above the rest. They play great defense and they can score. Let’s Get Reccked can’t do either, but they lead D5 in injured shoulders, so that’s something. COME FROM BEHIND BY 15

 

 

D6:

 

Last Week’s Games:

 

Not So Sticky 38, Two Tuddies 27

Superior Moser Squad 26, Two Tuddies 20

Superior Moser Squad 41, Lenny’s Ladies 19

Blitzkrieg 21, Punt Cakes 0 (Forfeit)

 

Superior Moser Squad went 2-0 in pretty nice fashion. They came back from 20-0 down on the Tuddies to win at the end of the game, and then they beat Lenny’s Ladies in a game that saw a combined 6 women play QB for at least one drive. BK got a free win against Punt Cakes, and Not So Sticky defeated the Tuddies as well.

 

Championship Odds:

 

The Contenders:

 

Not So Sticky (4-1)

Blitzkrieg (4-1)

Superior Moser Squad (7-1)

Lenny’s Ladies (10-1)

Two Tuddies (13-1)

Punt Cakes (13-1)

 

The Season So Far: D6 is the most interesting division by far. All of these teams are closely ranked and any one of them can get hot and win the title. Not So Sticky is the favorite to win, but barely, as they can score AND possess some great football minds. Blitzkrieg has been in the mix to win D6 for 27 years, but their defense has never been this good. No Alex? No problem, as BK has been winning and winning. Superior Moser Squad is awesome, as they trot out two female QBs in Rylee and Lauren Moser. They’ve learned from one of the better minds in the league in Steve Moser, and it shows as they’ve cruised to a 4-2 record. Lenny’s Ladies is, as always, a very talented team when everyone shows up. They’ve had a lot of different QBs this year, and they’re enjoying a nice 3-3 season. At full power, they can beat anyone in D6. Two Tuddies got their first win ever in Week 1, and haven’t won since. It’s not for a lack of trying. They’ve lead in a few games and nearly every loss was a close one. They’re improving weekly. Punt Cakes is 1-5, but its the same story. Just about every loss has been within one score, and a play here or there means they could be 4-2 even.

 

This Week’s Games:

 

Two Tuddies vs Punt Cakes (+3) - These two meet up for the first time since Week 1, where the Tud Buds got their first win. They’ll be looking for their second this time around. Punt Cakes is looking to prevent that. This game has some stakes as the winner has a better shot at finishing 5th and not getting one of BK, NSS, or SMS that miss the bye. TWO TUDDIES BY 8

 

Blitzkrieg vs Lenny’s Ladies (+8) - These teams have had a fun rivalry for years now, and this season is no different. The Ladies took the first meeting this season, handing BK their only loss of the season so far. I expect revenge. BLITZKRIEG BY 8

 

Not So Sticky Vs Superior Moser Squad (+10) - NSS kind of figured out SMS in their first meeting, and I expect them to employ the same tactics this time out. SMS loves to use both women when throwing, but there’s a significant difference when Rylee throws than Lauren. If they want to win, they might just want to give Lauren the ball for this game. NOT SO STICKY BY 12

 

Not So Sticky vs Blitzkrieg (EVEN) - These two teams met once before and it was a 4 point game that was back and forth. Expect some fireworks and fun times. NOT SO STICKY BY 2

 

 

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR SATURDAY:

           

1. Will the weather change affect the teams? While I don’t expect too much change in how teams play, the sudden change into “fall” will cause some things to go a bit differently. Teams are used to playing in about 25 degrees warmer weather, and there should be more wind (in a season where I’ve been told we haven’t had ANY). Veteran teams and QBs should be fine, but some of the newer ones can absolutely struggle.
2. What are your picks for the division champions at the halfway mark of the season? D1: Tight Ends In Motion. D2: No Punt Intended. D3: Bullet Club. D4: Puckett All-Stars. D5: TMA. D6: Blitzkrieg.
3. What are the best “long shots” (10-1 or more) for each division? D1 - Sticky Bandits. They JUST went to the championship game, and there’s more evidence that suggests they’ll figure things out than not. D2 - Freeballers. These guys have all the talent in the world they just rarely figure out how to use it. If everything clicks, they have a shot. D3 - Can’t Touch This. They have the QB, and they have a couple of good guys. If the girls show more improvement they can absolutely repeat last season’s playoff success. D4 - ILF. They have the talent, and they have a proven QB. The defense is good. They just need to find a few more points on offense and look out. D5 - Passing While Intoxicated. I mean, I had to pick someone and they did shock the world last season. D6 - Lenny’s Ladies. They have a roster of some amazing women who have been playing well. They can be quite hard to match up with.
4. Current top seed most likely to blow it? The Cunning Stunts. I feel bad ripping on the girls, but they’ve constantly been a top seed at the halfway point only to not end up as champions again and again.
5. Who misses the playoffs in D4? That’s a tough one, but I think that TOX and Cobblestone will be the ones missing out when it’s all said and done.

 

 

TEN FINAL THOUGHTS BEFORE SATURDAY:

 

1. Breakfast Club is looking crazy. Two 4-0 teams. Two 2-2 teams. Two 0-4 teams. And they all play each other this week.
1. Amber Alert 42, Steph Infection 39
2. BDSM 44, Jennacide 33
3. Messy Jessies 37, Special Kay’s 36
2. I keep hearing more and more about the upcoming Halloween Bowl. It’ll be good to get everyone playing in costumes and having fun again.
3. Three teams that need a win: Practice Squad, Let’s Get Reccked, Travis Henry’s Kids
4. Please remember, email me about your team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
5. We had a lot of TSLers at the Bills vs Rams game, I can only wonder how many are traveling to Miami this week. That should affect some games.
6. Games Of The Day:
   1. 9:00 - Amber Alert vs Steph Infection
   2. 10:00 - Mountain Dew Me vs Bullet Club
   3. 11:00 - Two Tuddes vs Punt Cakes
   4. 12:00 - Frodo Swaggins vs No Punt Intended
   5. 1:00 - Travis Henry’s Kids vs Vaspian
   6. 2:00 - ILF vs Puckett All-Stars
   7. 3:00 - Get Schwifty vs Practice Squad
7. Please keep in mind that there can still be the possibility of a rainout week that will just push back the playoffs to 10/22 and 10/29.
8. More and more people are volunteering to referee to help out the league and its been going pretty well. I haven’t heard about too many costly mistakes. Good work everyone!
9. Special shout out to Garrett Beesing who’s been doing great things with the referee schedule and to Jeff Krol as well, as it’s been reported that he’s going a phenomenal job keeping things organized.
10. Except for one thing. We need to make sure games are running on time better for the rest of the season. One field being late can throw things off everywhere. Please try to get to your games early, they’ll be starting without you this week.

 

Just because the temperature is dropping doesn’t mean the TSL action on the fields won’t be getting hotter. We’re going to see some great games this week.
