From underneath a rock in Media Void

Week 10 - A Salute To The Veterans

Wildcats Win Cat Fight vs. the Cheetahs:

There was a tremendous amount to “scratching and clawing” coming from Southside this past weekend. Upon further review, it looks as though the Western Hills Wildcats and the Southside Cheetahs had an all-out “cat fight,” over in Five Points. It started out pretty close, but as Sunday afternoon turned into Sunday evening, and then Sunday night… it was apparent that the Wildcats were putting a whooping on the old, Sin Wagon. By the time Monday Night Football ended, the Wildcats had an A.W. over the Cheetahs. The “James Gang” was wildly celebrating, moving to 6-4 on the season. Meanwhile, Butch Neal was reviewing reservations for the Gulf Coast and a potential trip to the Big Mullet Series, with his team’s record dropping to 4-6 on the 2017 season.

Gamblers Double-Down on the Slovaks:

Speaking of the Gulf Coast, ASlo oftentimes makes his way down to Ft. Morgan to check things out at the various hot spots and holes in the wall hideouts. In fact, the Fighting Slovaks decided to play their Week 10 game down in that neck of the woods – or section of the beach – since they were scheduled to play the Gamblers. Well, Kenny B. & Company showed the EuroTrash Talkers who’s still in charge along the Gulf Coast, be it Mississippi or Alabama. The Gamblers caught the ferry across Mobile Bay and then proceeded to dominate the Slovaks from start to finish. The vict’ry was huge for the Gamblers, pulling them back to the .500 mark (5-5), while the Slovaks will not have to worry about reservations for the Mullet Series. They can always crash with a certain un-named NAIA All American, soccer-style, kicker who once led a WFL Franchise (Birmingham Vulcans) in points, field goals, and touchbacks on kickoffs.

Bullets Shot Down by Freebirds:

“Too bad you can’t play the Slovaks every week,” said Bullet. “I only scored 11-points, but that would have beaten the Slovaks (and three other teams this weekend).” Sour grapes aside, the Benton Bullets put an inferior product on the field in Week 10, and were defeated by the Fultondale Freebirds, 27-11. “He can cry all he wants to,” said Hime Hand. “He was the one drinking the rat poison.” With the vict’ry, the franchise formerly known as the Black Creek Wooden Warriors moved to a BDFL-best 9-1 on the season, and are already enjoying the luxury of lining up their pitching staff for the Big Daddy Championship Series.

Woosiers Hog Tied by Sloths:

Earning this week’s “Toilet Seat Team of the Weak,” is the Smoke Rise Woosiers. Now, that’s not really as bad as it sounds. Sure, the Woo Crew lost in Week 10 to the Silver Lakes Sloth Monsters, 27-6. And, it was an official A.W. Also, the fans of the Woosiers had to take a lot of flack from the supporters of the Three Toed Tree Dwellers. But, it could’ve been worse. Don’t ask us how, but it probably could’ve been worse. Put it this way, the Sloths needed the win just to improve to a dreadful 2-8 on the season. Mukes has already punched his ticket to the Big Mullet Series, and he’s okay with that. Meanwhile, the Woo Crew is a virtual lock for the BDCS, so this doesn’t sting quite as much as a typical, out-of-nowhere, fluke of the universe, upset would normally hurt. Additionally, Tommy T. has a high threshold for pain.

Nauts Smoke Mayors:

It’s been a tough year for the defending champs. The Jugtown Juggernauts have had a lot of breaks go against them in 2017. However, in Week 10, the ‘Nauts found some long-missing intestinal fortitude, and whipped the Magic City Mayors in Birmingham, 30-25. The game probably didn’t do a lot to change the overall fortunes of either team as they relate to potential post-season action. The ‘Nauts still seem destined for the Big Mullet Series this year, while the Cronies are a virtual lock for the BDCS. But, for one weekend, Allyson was able to pick up an upset vict’ry on the road to help her keep some of her fleeting self esteem. She probably is going to dread giving up the Grand Daddy Trophy, which has become a fixture at A.E.’s social events in and around Leeds.

Wizards Edge Armadillos, 20-19:

This one started out close, moved into the mid-range, and then got excruciating close during Monday Night Football. But, when the dust cleared in Tampa Town, the Pixie Dusters had another win in fast-paced, white-knuckle, big-daddy, old-school, smash-mouth, BDFL action. The Pasco County Wizards improved to 7-3 on the season and in very good shape for a birth in the BDCS. Conversely, the Armadillos are slowly watching the season slip away. K.P.’s minions have dropped to 3-7 on the season and are on full alert in the proverbial “pucker factor” category. “It’s all hands on deck from this point forward,” said a defiant Prewitt. “We won’t go down without a fight. It might not be a big one, but it’ll be a fight, or at least a skirmish or no-hands-to-the-face, slap fight.”

Dogs Dumped by Grenadiers in Dog Town:

The unstoppable force and the immovable object met at a neutral site dead between Brookside and Mineral Springs this Sunday in BDFL action. That’s right, the Brookside Dogs and the Mineral Springs Grenadiers played their Sunday Showdown game in the heart of Dog Town. Now, you would think that a game in Dog Town would favor the Dogs. But, Mark’s Mutts are pretty bad this year, actually epically bad, and the Commish’s team ain’t half-bad. Besides, Chris had the advantage of knowing the “lay of the land” a little bit better from some previous experiences at the original “Big Al’s. The Commish kept his faint playoff hopes alive with a 18-9 vict’ry, and let’s just say that Dog’s losing streak is now officially up to 23-years. Ouch.

Blitz Bombs Sleds:

Two teams in the thick of the race for spots in the BDCS, played a pivotal game in Fairfield this weekend. The final score read: Druid City Blitz 30, Fairfield Powersleds 19. The win brings the Gritz Blitz up to 5-5, and the loss drops the Mean Machine to 6-4. Both teams are “OK” in the total points category, but still have to worry about the “Bullet Rule.”
