1.  Like a Juggernaut – Allyson Soars:

The Jugtown Juggernauts are “rocking and rolling” in 2016, in what has been an impressive first half of the season in the BDFL for many members of the Null Set Club. (Again, the Null Set Club is that group of franchises that have never, ever won a championship in the BDFL.) In Week Eight, A.E. and her ‘Nauts ventured to Fultondale and quickly dismantled Bocephus and the Tribe. This one was never, ever close, and was close to an A.W. In fact, Ol’ Kawliga said it felt just like an A.W., “losing to a bunch of girls is never fun,” he said. “Well, it could be fun under the right circumstances, but not in the world of fantasy football.”

2. Slovaks Fall Back to Earth:

Well, the Bulletin kind of misrepresented a little bit in that lead story. Even though some of the Null Set members are doing a little better than expected, Week Eight wasn’t that kind to the group as a whole. ASlo – for example – who has been “on a roll” somewhat in 2016, fell out of orbit and down to earth hard this past weekend. The Fighting Slovaks were given an @$$whipping, or A.W., in Week Eight by the Pasco County Wizards, 33-12. For the EuroTrash Talkers it was a devastating defeat, and for Parks – who has difficulty with the Hand Brothers – was glad to enact a small measure of revenge against the Slovak Nation, Brookside, and the Slovensky family and the Birmingham News and al.com in general.

3. Dogs Get Reality Check in the Mail:

The Brookside Dogs were embarrassed this past weekend in the BDFL by the James Gang. Now, this game featured another loss by a Null Set team (the Dogs), but it also represented a win for a Null Set team (the Wildcats), so it is difficult to put this one in any specific category. However, in a world of labels, this one has to go down as a “reality check” that the Former Super Banker got through the old-fashioned U.S. Mail. As for the Where Are They Now Wildcats… they are not doing that bad this season, and could still be one of the Null Setters that makes a mark in the Big Daddy Championship Series when all the shouting is done at the end of the season. Doubtful, but it is possible.

4. Armadillos Lose to Woo Crew:

Tommy T. dominated from start to finish on Sunday as an underdog against the Duncanville Armadillos. And, the little old opossums on the half shell from Texas have now lost two in a row after a long, undefeated streak to start the season. Could this be the start of the Woosiers patented peaking? Well, it might be a little too soon for that, but at least the Woo Crew is serving notice that they are not just going to be kicked around for the rest of the season up in Smoke Rise, Alabama.

5. Bullets Scared on Halloween by Zombies and Sled Heads:

“This is what I hate about Halloween,” said a completely and totally deflated Bullet. “I mean, this is scary. The Monday Night Game was a horror show. It was awful. The Bears and the Vikings were scary and ugly. I started watching the World Series of Poker on ESPN 2, only flipping over to ESPN occasionally to make sure it was not coming back to haunt me. But, then, in a 20-3 game, on an absolutely worthless series, late in the 4^th quarter, Jack Slovensky’s wide receiver caught a TD pass… scored three points… rallied the Sleds to a 2-point, come-from-behind vict’ry over by beloved Benton Bullets. I cut the TD off and went to bed. But, not before watching the World Series of Poker, and the November 9 get narrowed down to 3-players before Tuesday night’s ultimate showdown.” Now, that’s scary.

6. Iron Hand Clutches 1-point Win Against Da Blitz:

The Commissioner counted, WARTS counted, and the Bulletin counted, and the Mineral Springs Grenadiers came up with a one-point win at home against the Druid City Blitz. Jerry Fritz was crushed with the outcome from an emotional standpoint, as he thought his team had a realistic shot at knocking off the Commissioner. As for the Commissioner, he was at the beach, living it up on the “League’s Dime,” and didn’t even know the outcome until the official WARTS report was released sometime late Monday Night, or early Tuesday morning. So, to recap – Chris happy – the Fritz Gritz Blitz crushed emotionally in defeat in Week Eight in the BDFL. Final score from somewhere in T-Town, 18-17, in favor of the Grenadiers.

7. Mayors Mash Monsters, 35-20:

It was the “Son of Slim” that was supposed to do the “monster mash” on Halloween weekend, but the Magic City Mayors were the ones that celebrated the Magic City Classic and Halloween all rolled into one, with a big win at the Old Gray Lady. Yes, Mayor Arrington returned to power just a week before the Big Election Day to teach the Three Toed Tree Dwellers a lesson. The Mayors beat the Sloth Monsters to, from, and like a pulp. It was short of the official 21-points needed for an A.W., but the outcome on Graymont Avenue was loud and clear from the Cronies, and the Sloths had nothing to do when it was over, but to slither back to Silver Lakes to regroup.

8. Gamblers Gig Cheetahs:

There was no joy in Mudville (or on Valley Avenue) after the Gamblers raided Southside and taught the Cheetahs a lesson on Sunday afternoon. The Real Deal has been roughed up some this season in Biloxi, but the Gamblers have managed pretty well on the road. So, I guess that means you can expect Kenny & Company to head to Atlantic City or Vegas for the next few days to ride the wave.

Jr. BDFLers: There will be no time for a Jr. BDFL update in the Bulletin. Please check your email on Tuesday or Wednesday night for the scores from Week 8, and the standings, and the latest Drop/Adds. Thank you very little.
