THE BIG STORY |
The BDFL to honor the AFL during their 50th Anniversary year during Week 7 action
As the AFL celebrates their 50th Anniversary this season, the
BDFL thought it was only fitting that the league honor the
pioneers of the first successful AFL which started in 1960. Each
BDFL team will embody an old AFL team with some small AFC
exceptions to keep the theme as pure as possible. Week 7 will
feature some classic AFL match-ups such as the Broncos vs.
Texans, Dolphins vs. Chiefs, Bengals vs. Browns. Plus some
interesting home sites have been chosen as the Patriots sample
Birmingham's Legion Field and George Blanda and the Oilers play
the first AFL indoor game in Houston at the Astrodome against
the hated Steelers. It will be LA vs. New York as the LA
Chargers trek to Shea Stadium to land the Jets. It is sure to be
an exciting week of action as the BDFL honors the old
high-flying AFL.
The 2009 Shiner
Bock Mock Draft
Adrian Peterson projects as the top draft choice in the 2009 Shiner Bock Mock Draft
SHINER,
TX
– Here in Lavaca County, life is laid back and the beer is fresh
and smooth since Shiner Bock, a dark Slovak style beer that is
distributed all over the world, is brewed down here at the
Spoetzl Brewery, the oldest independent brewery in Texas. This
is why the BDFL experts gather here for the annual sabbatical to
drink beer, relax and sift through who they pick will be the top
drafts for the upcoming BDFL
Genuine Draft in late August. After a good long week in
southeast Texas soaking up the rays and downing dark Slovak
beer, these experts have come up with the top 32 players
for the BDFL draft. For more details and to see the top 32 picks
