The ol' crystal ball is cracked as the Wizard slips again to fall even farther behind to ELVO in the race to the POTY |
In the race for the POTY the Wizard is sinking fast LAS VEGAS - With another weak 3-5 effort in Week 9, the Wizard has fallen and we don't know if he can get up, or not. He needs a big surge in Week 10 but ELVO will not lighten up. On to the picks...

From The Crystal Ball
By Spaceman Spiff Grenades vs. Sloth Monsters The “GreNADS Battalion” invades Mike Dismukes and his “Little House of Horrors” on Sunday and will find a target rich environment when they arrive. The Grenades have unleashed a blitzkrieg on the BDFL for most of the season, and expect little resistance when their shock troops (smartly dressed in 100% polyester, fire engine red coaching shorts and “wife-beater” tee shirts) launch their Silver Lakes fall offensive. However, the “Slug Monsters” have a BDFL title to their credit and, despite a tough season so far, should be expected to fight tooth and nail for every square inch of real estate. It’s hard to see if the Sloth Monsters will win straight up, but the Wizard sees at least a back door cover for Mukes and a possible upset, which would mean milk and potato chips would be on the house. Wizard’s Winner…the Sloth Monsters.
Wildcats vs. Bootleggers When Jon Wood fires up his big, black Dodge on Sunday headed for Knoxville with his weekly load of “Mountain Man Moonshine”, he’ll have more than just the local Revenuers following him down out of the hills in the form of the “Birmingham BioCats”, who have more closely resembled saber-toothed tigers in recent weeks than their more docile ancestors. The Wildcats are trying to make a second half run to at least gain respectability among their BDFL brethren and plan to have the “Born-again Bible Thumpers” among their true believers when they leave Sunday evening. The Bootleggers are more than respectable at the season’s midpoint, but will need more than a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line to beat the Wildcats, or to catch the streaking Woosiers in the standings. Wizard’s Winner…the Wildcats.
Wizards vs. Cheetahs Butch Neal and the “Sundance Divas” will have the “Sin Wagon” loaded with fresh hay to welcome the Wizard’s “Royal Navy” when they dock at the Riverchase Cat House this weekend. Both teams are in second place in their respective divisions and are desperately trying to make up ground on the leaders as the second half of the season gets into full swing. The Wizards hope to bring their cavalry ashore as quickly as possible in order to surprise the Cheetahs, but shouldn’t be alarmed if they don’t achieve a tactical surprise because in addition to being rode hard and put up wet more than a few times, the Cheetahs are no stranger to riding the ol’ hobby horse either. Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs.
Wooden Warriors vs. Mayors The “Fultondale Doo Doo Pumpers” will have to bring a fleet of trucks if they expect to handle all of the excrement that’ll be left behind by the “Bleeding Heart Bureaucrats” when these two face off over the weekend. The wind done gone from the Mayors’ sails, but they can still make waves in the BDFL at the Wooden Warriors expense, who have climbed back into a solid lead after trailing for several weeks in the much-vaunted Green Horn Division. The Mayors can shovel the bull as fast and as long as anyone, but the “Black Crick Manure Movers” are experts at picking it up, and have boots that are more than high enough to wade into a messy situation. Wizard’s Winner…The Wooden Warriors.
Power Sleds vs. Fighting Slovaks After a stunning come from behind win against the Wizards last week, the “Tread Heads” travel over the mountain to “Little Slovakia” with bad intentions of taking the Slovak women off behind a shady tree, dibble off their bobby brooks (like Jack used to do with Dianne) and do as they please. Nevertheless, the Sleds had better expect the Slovaks to live up to their name when they rumble into town and the Wizard says they can’t rely on Manning’s golden arm and an over-50 touchdown from their defense every week and expect to survive. However, in the end the Sleds will be rockin’ and the Slovaks had better bring a good supply of bobby brooks just in case. Wizard’s Winner…the Power Sleds.
Dogs vs. Gamblers The “Brookside Barkin’ Bankers” are for real in 2004 as they continue their quest to get an invitation to the big dance at the end of the year. At their current pace, it is a strong likelihood that they can go ahead and make reservations. Standing in their way are the once mighty “Big Easy One-armed Bandits”, who are getting farther and farther removed from their once dominant position in the BDFL peckin’ order leading the Great Wizardo to believe some of his sweetheart backroom dealins’ with the Commissioner have turned sour as of late. Caging the Hounds will be anything but easy for the Gamblers, but at least there will be a good supply of fast women and cheap booze to numb the pain of their impending defeat. Wizard’s Winner…the Dogs.
Woosiers vs. Juggernauts The high-flying “Whooshers” have barely come down to tree-top level so far in 2004, but finally came crashing down last weekend in a big Week Nine upset. Not to fear though, the Woosiers still have plenty of cushion on top of the Red Neck Division and should be able to take the title and its invitation to the BDFL Final Four at season’s end. This week promises to be nothing more than a mild nuisance to Tommy and the “WooWarriors” when they take on the “Ambulance Chasin’ Legal Beagles” in Leeds on Sunday, and should serve as a tonic for their bruised egos. The Juggernauts have more of a reason to be inside an ambulance on life support versus chasing one down, and should be little more than a speed bump again this weekend for the Woosiers.
Wizard’s Winner…
Bullets vs. Blades The “Super Sabers” are cutting a wider swath than normal through the BDFL this year, and the Wizard sees little to think they won’t give the “Mighty-purdy-mouthed-Pigs” from Lowndes County a trim that will have them squealin’ at the top of their lungs on Sunday. At the BDFL supplemental draft last week the Bullets were first on the clock. Since they were not able to make the draft, Bullet sent his requests ahead asking that brother Chris take the oldest and slowest back available if Thurman Thomas, Eric Dickerson, Bronco Nagurski, and Red Grange were already gone. Regardless, at day’s end Lyle will for once be able to dole out more pork than his politically correct brother, Alan, and the rest of the Mayors. Wizard’s Winner…the Blades. |
