Enter Week #9
It is now or never time. Most of you know you are in but you don’t know what seed you have yet. For 2 teams in D6 their seasons hang in the balance. Some teams are cruising, some are reeling, some players named JZ and Drew are under so much pressure right now it is almost hard to breath. What happens next? Where do we go from here? Where the hell is B’s Brother?
D1 Game of the Week
Tight Ends in Motion vs Angry Buffalo +4: Oh its Hatfield’s vs McCoy’s on this week. These two teams are long time foes. It seemed like just yesterday when TEIM shocked the world and stole the D2 title right out of the hands of Angry Buffalo. TEIM is 4-3 but I still have questions. Public Enemy exposed big holes in their game last week but was the rest of the division watching or sleeping? Angry Buffalo has Nick Sooch and he is good. Delano V Tiger should be worth the price of admission all on its own. TEIM will have a big girl edge. Angry Buffalo will have a big size and QB edge. I can’t wait to see if TEIM rushes a guy on AB and I can’t wait to see if AB presses up on D and forces Alex to beat them over the top. The key to this game might just be the 2nd and 3rd girl options on TEIM. Emily will get the AB attention so one of Kate or Amy will need to have a big day in this one. Tight Ends in Motion by 6
D2 Game of the Week
Gryffindor vs The Replacements +7: Burr and Batman will be foes this week but friends on the Joey Batts super team coming to a D1 near you in the fall. The Scotty M injury basically ended any hopes of back to back Gryffindor tittles. Burr will be waiting on Battman. Brother Nero has been awfully quiet the past few weeks could he be ready to go off this week? TR have been playing solid football down the stretch. I continue to say this, this is the one team I do not want to draw in round #1 of the playoffs. If this game comes down to the QB’s we all know who we are going with in this one. Regardless of the Scotty M injury Joey Batts easily could BE your league MVP once again when the dust settles. Gryffindor by 4
D3 Game of the Week
1 Topper to Many vs 25.5-1 Morning Wood: I told you on the podcast this week that if my team was at 100% we can beat anyone. This week we get Team Topper and I am sure Morning Wood will have something special cooked up for that side arm swilling waiter and Co. My girls are fast, my QB is top notch and my BFF Dave Is not going to the this make belief Joey Batts super team set to play in a D1 near you in the fall. Yes I might have fallen on my head last week and I am still groggy but Morning Wood should not be taken lightly. That is why I am calling the upset. By week’s end my team will enter the D3 playoffs as a 10-1 shot. Morning Wood will beat Team Topper and I will finally stop this charade and tell the whole TSL universe that I am in fact the Godfather. Morning Wood by 7
D4 Game of the Week
HK4 +7 VS Uncle Rico’s Time Travelers: Things are not as fun in D4 when 3RD and Schlong is off. It’s like the soap opera has taken a week off or something. HK4 is an up and down team. Some weeks they can go with anyone and other weeks they will get beat by 20. URTT can score early and often. They are battle tested and they have won the big game in this league. HK4 will have a few places they can attack and they do have solid girls and a decent QB but I just don’t see anyone winning a shootout with Uncle Rico and his Time Travelers. URTT BY 8
D5 Game of the Week
Hung Buffalo +4 vs The Tommy Hughes Experience: THE continues to play their game and they are doing just fine. HB is a match up sent from the heavens for them HB is good but they aren’t overly fast which is the achilees heel of THE. HB plays a lot like THE.. Tommy Hughes is on cloud 9 after he QB’s Public Enemy to victory. I can so see him coming to the fields with an intern and warming up with a guy catching his passes and stuff now. As for the game THE probably rolls in this one though this game will be closer than you would think. THE BY 4
D6 Game of the Week
Dark Knights vs Jabronies +4: Win and you are in BAY-BAY!!! Oh it is week #9 do or die time. Both teams are fighting for the last golden ticket to the D6 dance. Jabronies looked like they were left for dead but last week they erupted. DK are a solid team with a few very good players. Their QB continues to get better week after week and they have a very under rated talent on this squad. In theory DK should run away in this one but it’s week #9 and in football anything can happen on any given Saturday. Jabronies could shock the world. They could play the game of their lives and steal the last ticket to the dance. If DK platy safe and don’t get overly cocky they should be able to carry in this game. If they go 4-5 and something happens elsewhere they could even grab a 6 or 7 seed. This game should be good. No pressure…no pressure… Dark Knights by 3
RANDOM THOUGHTS
-I think the most under rated player in this league is named TJ. He plays QB for Puckett All Stars and continues to get better and better week after week.
-JZ and Joe K have had an awesome girl sub battle looming behind the scenes this week. Will Bullett Club V Mixxx live up to the hype? I don’t think so either.
-So Drew no showed last week but Drew teams went 2-0. Is this a co-incidence or is there something to read between the lines? If Drew shows and Team Topper loses to Morning Wood will the cat callers begin to call for Drew’s head?
-Will the slow methodical game plan of Vandalay work this week or will the quick mini mites of AWDIQ rule the day? This is one of those size vs speed games. VI started hot but have not looked overly impressive the past few weeks.
-No Punt Intended hasn’t exactly been lighting it up the past few weeks and playoffs are quickly approaching. This is one team I will keep my eye on. Buffalo Solar Solutions are capable of pulling off a shocker.
-Will the league be able to survive without a Katie Keller soap opera angle this week? If I was 3rd and Schlong I would still have the whole team show at 11 and have them all stand an watch NPI play the Shredders. This would be a total head game the same way NPI played head games with 3AS when they played HK4 a few weeks ago.
-Sticky Bandits V Bullet Club could be a very very good game at 3:00 now that the Club lost their QB.
- I still don’t know what to think of Tight End Zones. I am just going to start calling them Team Roller Coaster. They are all about the ups and downs.
-I’m just throwing this out there but if you take Joey Batts off Cintas they are a 1-8 football team.
-I’m just throwing this out there but if you take Joey Batts off Gryffindor they are a 1-8 football team.
-I’m just throwing this out there but if you took Joey Batts out of the TSL we would be a 1-8 football league.
-Just we all are clear on sub procedures moving forward:
Please go to the rule book pages 2/3 Rules 5-7. There it will tell you what girls are allowed to sub in each division. If you need a sub you must email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before Friday at 10AM for that week’s game ONLY. You may choose anyone you wish before Friday at 10am as long as you follow the rules on divisions. Please note one girl is not allowed to sub anymore and (3) D2 girls may not sub in D1 but if you have questions on specifics email us and we will tell you who they are. For example if you are a team in D2 you may only choose a girl in D2-D6 to be your sub. If you are a team in D3 you may only use a sub that is a girl on a D3-D6 team. If you are a team in D6 you may only choose a girl sub from division D3-D6. Once you send us an email will respond promptly in writing that your request has been accepted. If someone beats you to the sub it will be rejected and you will have to re-submit. If Friday at 10am passes you may only choose a girl on our USL only. USL subs do not have to be formally requested via email. We ask as a courtesy you tell us but you don’t have to. You must also submit in writing all guy subs and B Club subs. To be clear do not email, call or text Topper if you do this we will reject your request. You must email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. only. If you use the “Topper told me it’s OK” excuse we will still suspend you so please don’t waste our time and please follow the rules as they are written.
5 Questions for Saturday
1. Many folks want to know so I’ll ask the question…who was that guy who threw 6 TDS for Hometech? That was Cousin Steve easily the most under rated of the Kensy clan. All he needed was a chance and last week he got it. Is he on Hometech full time and if he is do they instantly become the D6 favorite? That my friends is one darn good question.
2. OMG….could the Purge actually grace us with their presence this week or is this team about to fold? I can’t even remember the last time they actually played. I have the odds at 50/50 that they even show this week.
3. Is this it for The Bambs? I sure hope not but their season comes to a sad ending this week at 11:00AM vs Witter’s. I so hope they fix their issues and get back together for one more triumphant run. I hope they go like 8-1 in the fall and JMohr comes out of retirement and beats them for the D5 title.
4. So did JZ learn a lesson last week or is he going to commit the same sins he did last week? Move the zone up JZ. You can’t sit back in a super soft zone and get picked apart and then wonder why things aren’t going your way. The teams that win in this league attack on both offense and defense. Safe is stupid. Put your foot on the gas and let’s see where it takes you.
5. Time to ask the only question that matters….How do I join the Coach Jay’s school for good players who don’t play so good….yet? Easy find Coach Jay. Find Lenny. Email me. Hopefully this becomes a school to help players of all kinds and all division levels get better.
10 Final Thoughts for Saturday
1. Hopefully you get a chance to head to field #4 at 1:00 as it is D6 last playoff spot on between the Jabronies and Dark Knights in your game of the day. This one is for all the marbles. If this was 5 weeks ago I would have told you DK will run away with this but Jabronies are getting better and better week after week.
2 Every time I look at the D4 standings I add one more team to the list of teams that could win it all. I could easily make a case for 3rd and Schlong, No Punt Intended, Indecent Exposure, Uncle Rico’s Time Travelers and now Full Throttle. If you ask me there is no better title chase then the chase that is about to go down between these 5 squads.
3. Good Lord can anyone beat Hootie and the Brofish? I say no. DMX is up next and I don’t see them being able to run with this squad. HATBF basically has it all. They have a decent QB, they are fast, they have size and they have the best girl you have never heard of but soon will.
4. Oh my, what a site it would be if Full Throttle wins 6 in a row. The train wreck known as Shedders is up next. If you ask me Lou could easily win D4 MVP as he has Full Throttle rolling right now.
5. Do we get to see Cobblestone in D3 for the last time this week on Field #2 at 3:00? Darryl Carr QB Superstar is easily a first ballot hall of famer but it is quite obvious that his entire team except for him has regressed and it might be time to take the call to D4. A&A always get hot down the stretch and will be looking to send a message this week.
6. For the love of God Passless Chaps throw the darn ball to really really really really tall guy this week. I fear a scary outcome is upon us. I also am afraid of Democrats, people named Blake and paper clips.
7. Attendance Bowl will be played on Field #1 at 10 am between New God’s and Public Enemy. Both teams are way better than their records indicate but both squads have had nothing but attendance issues all season. I’ll ask the question, did Tommy Hughes accidently start a QB controversy for Public Enemy last week? As for the game I expect a barn burner between 2 very solid football teams.
8. The McKenzie Agency has a big test this week before playoffs when they must have at it with the Practice Squad. Hopefully Ferger has finally healed from the thug like beat down he received at the hands of Dilly Dilly. TMA will need to be ready to run as TPS can go with anyone.
9. Heated Spring rivals TEIM and Eyes Downtown will have at it this week. ED is running right through D1 and was crushing it last week post game. This could be the week Matty Mohr goes off on offense.
10. Everyone keeps asking why is the article changing? What gives? Well things change after a while so sometimes we need to change it up. This is alot like Howard Stern. He is arguably the best radio guy in history. He used to be on 5 days then went to 4. Then he had a contract negotiation and went to 3. When asked he said “you can either have me for 3 days a week or don’t have me at all.” I have had fun playing on Morning Wood and doing this article but I don’t have the time I once did so this will be the best I can do for a while. It’s better than the alternative.
11. Ready for B Club predictions? Peanut Butter Kelly Time 37 Poppin Mollies 20. Angry Tailors 30 Taminators 23.
