From The Crystal Ball
By Spaceman Spiff Mayors vs. Grenades In the ultimate humiliation, the “Nashville Pud Pounders” have not only had their family jewels nipped and fallen out of a once imposing lead, they’re also on the verge of losing another spot in the Gray Beard plus wind up with a losing season proving that the Commissioner’s continued manipulation of the BDFL has failed to provide him with a much coveted title. The Grenades will complete their disappointing regular season this weekend against the “Magic City Favorite Sons” when the Mayors visit the Iron Hand’s new “Great Magnetic Field” Sunday afternoon in Nashville. Despite going down in the division standings faster then either the Hindenburg or the Titanic, the Grenades can still prevent adding insult to injury by beating to the lowly Mayors. Sometimes a change of venue is the key to success and the Great Wizardo sees the Grenades shaking off some of the rust that has haunted them the last half of the year. Wizard’s Winner…the Grenades.
Dogs vs. Blades In what could easily be billed as the marquee game of the week, Mark Burr and the “Coalburg / Cardiff Road Canine Crime Dogs” visit Lyle Arrington’s “Shelby County Sod Busters” in what could very well determine the winner of the hotly contested Yellow Hammer Division. Both teams have put together very strong years and each is very deserving of a shot at the title in Week 17. However, it is likely only one will get to whirl onto the dance floor at the BDFL ball after this week. This game is one that the novices in our reading audience would want to avoid and leave to professionals like the Great Wizardo who says when night falls the Blades will have a little too much grass in their rectums to pull off the victory. Wizard’s Winner…the Dogs.
Woosiers vs. Bullets In what would have gone down as the heartbreak story of the year, Tommy Todd and the “Blew Crew” crept above the “tarnished title line” and moved a very big step closer of the Red Neck Division. With a huge lead and snazzy record to match, the Woosiers were cruising through the BDFL schedule well into the second half when disaster struck in the form of injuries to key players and derailed their title hopes. If the Woosiers still don’t make the play-offs, it will be akin to going to Montgomery for an oral copulating contest and getting lockjaw in Clanton. Nevertheless, the schedule maker was kind to the Woosiers this week by serving up the “Montgomery Mafia”, and the Wizard doesn’t see an upset here. The Wizardo also thinks it will be safe for the Woosiers to cancel any doctor appointments they may have scheduled to cure their lockjaw ailment. Wizard’s Winner…the Woosiers.
Sloth Monsters vs. Fighting Slovaks The Sloths and the Slovaks meet this weekend in what amounts to one of the most worthless match-ups in the BDFL season with both teams merely making laps for the sponsors after disappointing seasons. Nevertheless, Mike Dismukes and the “Silver Surfers” still have a shot at catching the big wave and cruising into second place in the Green Horn Division with a good ride. Meanwhile, the Slovaks will probably spend the balance of the season scraping together what is left of “The Birmingham News Kick-Off Cash” money they stole from Jaimie and the Wizard to pay off their BDFL debts at the annual Super Bowl bash. Unfortunately, for the “SlowVaks”, the guy in Andalusia that won has long since spent his cut leaving the Adam a little light in the wallet and at the mutual window. Wizard’s Winner…the Sloth Monsters.
Wooden Warriors vs. Wizards Despite ringing the bell for a Week 14 victory and snapping a six game losing streak (including an “oh-fer-November”), another injury leaves Merlin and the “Croquet & Lawn Tennis Louts” on the outside looking in with the “Spearchuckers” poised to win the division while prepping for the play-offs when they visit Merlin’s castle on Sunday. It is hard to imagine the Wooden Warriors losing this match-up of bitter rivals unless his braves spend too much time primping in front a mirror to make sure their war paint, sweat bands, socks, and uniforms are lined up perfectly. As sweet as a victory would be to the Wizards, it is highly doubtful the Warriors will leave many scalps intact when they load their wig wams back on the family truckster at days end. Wizard’s Winner…the Wooden Warriors.
Wildcats vs. Juggernauts Another meaningless game is on tap when the “Paper Tigers” travel down Highway 119 to Leeds to play Allyson Edwards and the “Ambulance Chasin’ Amazons”. 2004 has turned into an absolute disaster for the Juggernauts and it is hard to imagine anything happening this Sunday that will change that including a visit from the Wildcats. The Cats definitely have the fangs and claws to go for the quick kill against the ‘Nots (Wizard’s Note: Of course, the JuggerKnots could always be gummed to death in the event no teeth are available to do the job.) and the Great Wizardo sees another case of A & W root beer headed to Leeds. Wizard’s Winner…the Wildcats.
Bootleggers vs. Gamblers A couple of “Vice Lords” will tangle this weekend when the “Hooch Haulers” fire up their big, block Dodge and pay a visit to Kenny Breal and his “Baton Rouge Rogues” after dropping off their weekly load in Knoxville. Neither appears headed to the post-season, but playing for BDFL “braggin’ rights” is more than enough to ensure this will be a heated battle. The Governor of Louisiana has already mobilized the National Guard just in case, and the Wizardo says you shouldn’t be surprised if a few “Gubament Revanooers” show up to try and bag a few of the bad guys that will be on hand. Fortunately for Kenny, the Feds won’t be looking to round up any bad teams, which will be small consolation when the Bootleggers send the “Riverboat Gamblers” to the bottom of the might Mississip. Wizard’s Winner…the Bootleggers.
Power Sleds vs. Cheetahs In one of the most improbable comebacks in the modern era of the BDFL, the “Fairfield Black Jacks” have turned over enough 21’s in recent weeks to come from nowhere to surge into the lead in the Gray Beard Division leaving the Grenades scratching their ‘nads in amazement. Meanwhile, a lot has changed in the last year for the “Sin City Demons”. After being the toast of the town after winning a BDFL title last season, the Cheetahs are mired well down in the standings with no hope of getting out before the Big Dance begins. Nevertheless, the Sleds still have to close the deal and the “G-string Strutters” plan to bring their “A” game to the Cat House in an effort take some of the steam out of the “Memphis Express”. The Wizard sees a let down in this one and although the Sleds may win, they won’t cover. Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs. |
