The BDFL's Weekly Game Summaries

By Bob Bullet

Week 17

Steve Earle takes us out:

“We were playing Smithville 

Big boys, farm boys

Second down and four to go

Bubba brought the play in

Good call, my ball

Now they're gonna see a show

But Bubba let his man go

I cut back, heard it crack

It still hurts me but I don't mind

Reminds me I was number 29.”

Who’s hot?

The Wizards: The Pasco County Pixie Dusters get 41-points in the Big Daddy Bowl to capture the 2006 BDFL Championship, topping the Cy Kick Woosiers.  Tommy T’s prediction fell one game short as the two underdogs and lower seeds battled for the title in the much-maligned, new BDCS format that awarded season-long mediocrity in exchange for TV-ratings, Cinderella, fly-by-night, expanded, watered-down playoffs.  All the aforementioned played right into the hands of Merlin and his Wizards, who captured their second BDFL title, albeit slightly tainted.

Quote of the week:

“Having two untainted titles is certainly something to be happy about although admittedly luck, timing, and the playoff format were the sole reasons I won,” said a positively “Giddy” Parks.  “Also, it helps remove the “Dan Reeves Bonehead” albatross that has been hanging around my neck since 2002 when he handed the ball off to Warrick Dunn four straight times at the one against the Colts at Indy instead of rolling Vick out and letting him either run or throw it for a touchdown thereby costing not only himself the game but, and more importantly, also costing me a BDFL title.”

Who’s finished hot?

The Fighting Slovaks: The Slovaks closed out an improbable season with 51-points, thanks to the efforts of Steven Jackson (Rams) 25-carries, 142-yards, 3-TDs including 1-plus-50 TD, and 1-receiving TD, 27-BDFL points – still not good enough for “Stat of the Week.”  (See below) The Pi Cap Caravan closed out the season by administering an @$$-whipping to the Sloth Monsters, who won the “Bonehead” award by leaving the Green Bay defense (18-points) on the bench.  It would not have made a difference in the final outcome, but would have let the Three Toed Tree Dwellers avoid an A.W., and a subsequent trip – along with Adam – to visit the Ron Slovensky/Albert Reeves Hall of Fame in Livingston.

Stat of the week:

Tiki Barber (Giants – Wildcats): 23-carries, 234-yards, 3-touchdowns including two over 50-yards, for a whopping 30-BDFL points to lead the Wildcats to an impressive A.W. over the Juggernauts in an otherwise meaningless Mullet Series consolation game.  Like Allyson cares; she spent the New Year’s holiday basking in the Key West sunshine with a “cool breeze and some tasty waves.”

Real Big Daddy Bowl:

In the real Big Daddy Bowl matching the top two teams in the league, the Bullets outlasted the Power Sleds in a no-holds-barred, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, cage match at the Dolodome.  The Benton Boys captured the Second Fiddle Bowl, but finish third in the BDFL.  Reportedly, Mad Jack and Bullerino shook hands when the artificial smoke cleared and watched the Paul “Wrecking” Crew, Bert Reynolds, Eddie Arnold, Ray Nitzke, Joe Capp version of “The Longest Yard.”  We got the “Mean Machine!”

Edspiration:

Chris Hand was spotted at the Titans game on Sunday wearing a green toboggan and blue sweat pants, paying tribute to “Daddy Eddie.” (No, the BDFL was not named after AHSAA Hall of Fame Coach Ed Bruce.)  However, with proverbial “Edspiration,” the Grenades were able to capture the flag in the Mullet Series with a vict’ry over the previously defending BDFL Champion Cheetahs.  The Sin Wagon rolled back over the Cumberland and wandered Music Row for hours unable to find “their kind” of entertainment.

Plays of the week:

Boise State goes for two and gets the vict’ry; same for Oregon State.

“Out there” of the week:

Apparently miffed with joint Christmas gifts of Rogaine and Hair Club for Men, the loser’s bracket, brotherly battle, between the Mayors and the Blades got ugly early, and the Cronies got the best of the ugly.  A.A. taught L.A. a lesson, giving his younger brother an A.W., to salvage an otherwise disappointing season.  Although the Mayors had enough points to join the BDCS, their losing record doomed them to an ignominious finish with the other Mullets.

“Seinfeld Four” Sit-com moment:

“What? You want to rub out the dog,” said Jerry.  And, that’s exactly what the Wooden Warriors did to close out their abysmal season edging the perpetual “Toilet Seat” team the Dogs, 11-6; single digits again for Mark’s Mangy Mutts.

“Seinfeld Four” Sit-com moment II:

Jerry: “We're pathetic… you know that?

George: Yeah, Like I don't know that I'm pathetic.

Jerry: Why can't I be normal?

George: Yes. Me, too. I wanna be normal. Normal.”

The George and Jerry of the BDFL – in any particular order – Kenny B. and Jon Wood; the BDFL is glad to have you in the proverbial league, filling out the proverbial schedule, contributing to the proverbial cause, giving the league a proverbial winner, Bootleggers over Gamblers in the Proverbial Bowl.

Reason #3 to be in the BDFL:

The Super Bowl Gala, post-season party.

“Telluride will take you home;” more from Steve Earle:

“Now I go to the ballgames, 

Cold nights, half pints

Friday nights I'm always here

We got a pretty good team

Good boys, strong boys

District champs the last 3 years

Got a little tailback

Pretty slick, real quick

I take him for a steak sometimes

Nowadays he's number 29”
