The Skinny
Flag Football
Oh no, another 5-0 week for
the master of prognostication. My overall
record holds now at a ridiculous 16-4. Onto this weeks games and no one
owes. Looks like everyone is saving up
for the spring...remember Sunday Night Football and
Game MVP’s are back in the spring. Onto the games.
Game 1 – Do Work vs. Men of War
Well who would have thunk it that two teams returning after great fall seasons
would be battling for the cellar in their respective division this week. Having all world d-back Donovan Moore back
should keep JJ’s numbers down but how they actually
handle the mobile quarterback may prove to be the difference in this game. The Workers need to work harder on offense as
DJ is still having a season for the ages but on the other team’s roster Mitchin looks like he left his A game in the A league and
may be shopping his services for the NFC after this season. Hold your heads up, and your hands as well
Mitch, for this should be a great game – Men
o War 20, Do Work 18.
Game 2 – Jags v Barracudas
After last weeks embarrassing,
yes Embarrassing loss to the Firehawks, it finally looks like the Jag’s team unity has
come under fire. After all the changes -
quarterbacks, jerseys and even polo shirts none of this has helped the team. Maybe putting Larocca
in a white evening gown may make him more of a target for the passing game but,
remember to cut off the sleeves so he can fit his arms in it. On the other side
of the ball, Leading pull boy Jaegar says if
his team can’t win one game he may join the other side; his name already has 3
letters of the team’s name in it. Look
for the Jags to right their ship with “Bernie plugging” all his holes directing
the offense again and Ricky and his quarterbacks trying to catch their breath being
chased all game.– Jags
41, Barracudas 14
Game 3 – Grubsnaker v Wrecking Crew
While the other two teams
battle for the cellar these two will battle for first. It may come down to who has more Tats and we
do mean the player not the artwork, on their team in this brutal game as the
boys in yellow will look to ride the wave into the Laguna of victory. The Crew has only one loss to the Jags – out of
division - and put up 52 points in the first meeting with grubby and the boys. That however was before the drafting of
several out of work, overpaid lineman, and the Crews own line body Kolbert turned into a regular player instead of the mad
rushing machine he used to be. Look for
Coach Lombardi and the Castells to make a run for the
endzone border in what could be the marquee game of
the night but that’s only if a certain lineman who has ripped more shirts off
of opponents than Arthur has had slices of pizza decides to make an appearance
and put himself to the TEST.– Wrecking Crew 34, Grubsnaker 28
Game 4 – Firehawks v Gamecocks
Wow, can you believe it, they
are playing again. How many times can
the Gamecocks jump out to an early lead only to have the Firehawks
claw their way back into it through Eddie’s golden arm and his personal chauffeur
making incredible catches. The over / under for sprints Bobby John’s
makes before this game is 20, as Old Man River will be positioned on his
favorite stool prior and after this game drinking the suds with all of his
friends. If lightning can strike twice, then the Gamecocks players will have
had their team meal at the same place as the Jags did last week and Mr. Kennedy’s
girlfriend will again beat up some players in a preliminary bout making them a
skeleton team ripe for the picking.
However, if they do show up, and all roads point them to being their in
force, it may be over early-
Gamecocks 52, Firehawks 38
Game 5 – Monaghan House v Hitmen
Yu really have to like a team
that keeps playing until the final whistle, every game. A team that is also a great
group of sportsmen and maintains professionalism throughout the contest. And if anyone finds that
team tell them when next season starts...just kidding Hitmen. Playing
against them tonight are a bunch of former Cardinals who should have been partying
all weekend with their schools double win of the GMC basketball titles. The scouts again will be out for Mr. Green in
the library with the candlestick as well as Mr. Greco. Still, with the team with the nicest jerseys –
and now they finally all match – including Kerv’s
specially sewn one, (we hear there is a radio receiver in it), the best looking team may get the win. However they may have to wait until the
playoffs this year – House 45, Hitmen
