The Skinny

Flag Football 1/14/08

 

After a 2-3 week, let’s see if someone can get off the schnide.

 

Game 1 – Storm v Monaghan House

 

This may be a major mismatch in the standings but, after last week, I take nothing for granted.  The Monaghan boys will be playing an early game for the first time and that may cause some problems for man power, with all of that snow...yeah right! Hopefully everyone makes it and we get a good clean crisp game.  Gotta go with the X-Rob factor – Monaghan House 40, Storm 12.

 

Game 2 – Men of War v Grubsnaker

 

How many times can you actually say that the Men of War are underdogs.  Especially after the Grubsnaker’s acquisitions this past week?  Now that the Lagunas have former standout and slap happy Justin Fumando rushing the passer Brandon may have to call his own number more times than even he prefers.  JJ will bring some possession type receiving but look for the Grubs to keep the Men off the win column. Grubsnaker 34, Men of War 18

 

Game 3 – First Round v Rebels

 

Even with this game being played well After Dark, the first Rounders are going to have a hard time stopping the Rebellion.  The Rebels right now are a very good team, with both Richie and his Minnie Me working the offensive side of the ball.  It also takes a very special player to know when his skills have diminished so much that it is time to step down from the A level; nice job Marcus.  The boys may be going to Bourbon Street early in this one Rebels 50, First Round 20

 

Game 4 – Millertime v Hitmen

 

Well, looks like both teams will be bringing a ton of offense to this game.  Especially if Fasano brings his kin who has a little more time on his hands now  Millertime on the otherhand have been taking Giant steps this season to prove that splinter teams can survive.  Having the smallest numbers in the league not only make them dangerous but also unknown to opponents so look for the Booze Boys to run and pass own the field.  Only the cops can stop speeders so the Wilkins will have their work cut out for them.  Call this one a pick em and I’m going with experience

Hitmen 44, Millertime 38

 

Game 5 – Do Work v Wrecking Crew

 

Our final game, and some may say thank god, is going to be a battle of two teams that may decide the division, even this early.  Neither can take a loss right now through the first cycle with inter conference games coming up next.  Hopefully it won’t be ended early as both Frank and Kevin usually have very short fuses after hearing the complaining in the previous 4 games.  Hopefully someone with a badge will be on crowd control as the Sportscenter may just set an attendance record for this one.  Did someone say defensive battle?  Wrecking Crew 20, Do Work 15
