The Skinny
Flag Football
Well after another 4-1 week
the overall record goes to 24-6. Not bad
as this week I start to handicap. Please,
no betting as these lines are only good on game days. Onto the games...
Game 1 Storm v Monaghan House
Will the House complete the
perfect regular season? The answer of
course is yes. After crushing a would be
Dynasty team last game QB Metuchen is looking for more bodies to step on in
Middlesex County. This week they will be
able to work over the Storm. This team
needs Wolverine, Gambit and maybe even Cyclops this week to find a win as they
are still looking for a starting quarterback.
Maybe Gene Gray can field the position and will the football into
receivers hands because it seems only CJ Haines and a couple of Teal brothers
are having a good season. I am just
wondering if one Greco will surpass the 100 point mark this week or have to
wait for the playoffs. Monaghan House +16.
Game 2 Mile High v Rebels
It looks like we have finally
a game for first place with all the marbles on the table. The Rebels won their
first match-up but, by only six points and that was a long time ago...just ask
Abe how much weight he has lost since then.
This time around we are looking for another shootout and several ball
fakes from the sheik of the deke Almog. Arriving with
very little fanfare this season was Tim Fleming who has all but, taken over the
possession receiver title for this team, so someone should be in lockdown mode
on defense against him. Meanwhile, the
Great Pumpkin has risen for the Rebels and his name is Marcus as only he can
carry this team to the promised land, with his
oversized hands and blowout jersies. Heres hoping he shows up on time Rebels +4
Game 3 Light Speed v Spartans
Well, now that Light Speed
has found a speedy quarterback, can they get off the schneid
against the Spartans? Being the doormats
of the division is tough enough but playing ironman
football on top of that is even harder.
Geiger has assembled quite a team with his boys from the hood including
DJ Khaled himself.
If everyone shows for the Spartans, and of course they will with all of
their girlfriends and their friends as well, Light Speed better switch into
warp drive to get any points in this one.
Spartans +12
Game 4 Dynasty v Hitmen
Here we go again with two
teams going in opposite directions. After
throwing a new game high interception record last game, the Dynasty team will
surely be licking their wounds.
Hopefully someone on the team will wear the pants of the family this
week and take control of the offense. On
the other side Sean has all of his Chiefs working hard but, may need a few Indians
to seal the deal. This group now
includes the players finally wearing team uniforms Kerv
and Gregory. It nice to see that they
retired the other shirts p.s. radio never wear
mesh again. Meanwhile on the other side
of the ball Coppola hopes his passes do better than his checks and make it into
sufficient hands. His defense however
seems a bit overworked and overdrawn. Hitmen +22
Game 5 Do Work v Wrecking Crew
Well, if the Crew wanted a
game where they could simply show up as it didnt matter in the standings, they
sure got one tonight. I can see Ernst
taking a game off and letting Tats run the squad; Not! The Crew has never and will never take a game
off they even got into fights in a consolation and pre-season game in the
past. With personal records on the table
and All-Conference Teams being announced soon, hopefully the Workers will have
a chance to shine. However, their work
is still not done for this season as several key components need to show up in order
for this team to surprise. When every
other team picked up players this team stood pat with theirs and that may have
cost them. Look for their quarterback to
return soon as well, as this long season also allows for healing. It may help tonight to keep it close but the
Crew will wreck someone elses dream Wrecking
Crew +6
