From The Crystal Ball
By Spaceman Spiff
Grenades vs. Wizards Chris and the “Homewood Hellaquins” will invade the friendly confines in the land of Oz looking to burn, steal, plunder, and pillage everything that isn’t firmly anchored in the earth, which include prying up the very last yellow brick if possible. Standing in his way will be a “Lollipop Guild” that will be more undermanned than usual when the Grenades pay a visit. With many of their stars grabbin’ some pine, or their ankles in the case of Chief Wizard Jamal Lewis, this affair will still be a sorta’ social soiree for the Wizards, demented and sad mind you, but social. The Grenades are entrenched atop their division at the midpoint, but need to pick up what could be an easy win here to keep from venturing too far towards the “tarnished territory” already well plowed by his brother Bullet. However, the Great One sees no reason for Chris and the gang to beat their swords into plow shares anytime soon. Wizard’s Winner…the Grenades.
Power Sleds vs. Wooden Warriors Although the very utterance of his name once sent shockwaves of terror through the BDFL, and still do in his mysterious “other Friday night league”, Jack Barnes and the “Motor City Madmen” have dropped a cylinder in recent years and are in danger of being black flagged for failing to maintain the necessary BDFL track speed. Jack will need to have his hot rod tuned up to maximum capacity when he lays rubber at the reservation where he will face-off with the “Spearchuckers”, who are locked in a death struggle at the top of their division for a spot in the BDFL “Big Dance”. However, it’s a safe bet that when Jaimie’s “go-get-me-suck-buddies” head over to Jiffy Check to get the Head Chucker a Mountain Dew, they won’t bring back enough for the visitors as well. Wizard’s Winner…the Wooden Warriors.
Bootleggers vs. Blades It has been a mixed bag so far this year up in the East Tennessee hills when it comes to the drive to gain respectability in the rough ‘n tumble, take-no-prisoners BDFL, and Jon Wood has spent most of the last week under the hood of the Citgo / Motorcraft / Mountain Dew / Chattanooga Chew / Mopar big, black Dodge in hopes of dialin’ it in for race day this Sunday. Meanwhile, the “Shawshank Slashers” have been their usual conundrum wrapped in an enigma so far this year, but are very much in the middle of the Yellow Hammer Division hunt as the season approaches its midpoint. While it has been difficult to know Lyle’s exact wherabouts (the Wizard thinks he is on a beach in Mexico remodeling a boat with Andy DuFresne and Red), his team has been on target as often as not. However, with an injured Griffin, the Blades have all their eggs in Daunte Culpepper’s basket, which will require much more than all the king’s horses and all the king’s men to put the Blades back together again if he drops it. Wizard’s Winner…the Bootleggers.
Dogs vs. Woosiers A battle royale in north Jefferson County is set for this weekend when Mark Burr’s “Tirebiters” cut across Jasper / Warrior Road on their way to Smoke Rise to face Tommy Todd and his tights wearing (don’t laugh, it’s the required uniform) “Dream Police”. The Woosiers have come of age in their third season as their lofty perch atop the Red Neck Division has shown, but the Dogs are also at the top of their division as well and won’t take too kindly to taking a backseat on Sunday. The “Dream Police” may be coming to arrest the Dogs by days end, but the Great Wizardo says that ELVO, as he is prone to do, has over reached by giving too many points to the home team. Wizard’s Winner…the Dogs.
Fighting Slovaks vs. Mayors Alan Arrington’s “Bleeding Heart Liberals” should be able to gain some last minute traction in the polls when they pound out their stump speech to the recently immigrated “Iron Curtain Comrades” from Eastern Europe this Sunday afternoon. The Fighting Slovaks are already very familiar with the Communist Manifesto that the Mayors have weaved into their party platform, and also know that disagreeing with the party line can mean a trip to the underground rack room for some stretching exercises. Fortunately for Alan, the Slovaks will spout the party line long before the first storm troopers arrive. Wizard’s Winner…the Mayors.
Sloth Monsters vs. Cheetahs In what could be the most difficult pick of the week for the wiley old Wizard, the “Big Cats” will host the “Tree Huggers” in what is being tabbed as the “rumble in the jungle” at the Riverchase Cat House. Both teams have struggled for much of the year, and there is little on the horizon to suggest that the scenery will change any time soon. Off weeks and injuries will limit both teams this week with the outcome likely to look more like a pitchers’ duel than a BDFL game. Nevertheless, when the butcher’s bill is finally tallied, expect the Sloth Monsters to survive the carnage, which will spare the Commissioner any more scathing letters of possible succession from the BDFL by the visitors…at least for another week.
Wizard’s Winner…
Wildcats vs. Bullets A visit to Trey Pettimore Stadium has hardly been the adventure for opposing teams that it has been in the past as the “White Trash Confederacy” might attest to after a difficult start to the year. Nevertheless, the Bullets will try and lure the “BioCats” to The Jug on Saturday in hopes of wearing their guests out teaching them to do the shag late into the night. However, as long as the Wildcats can avoid pairing up with a girl named Linda Lou on the dance floor, they ought to be able to avoid the business end of a .44 long enough to get back to the Hotel No-Tell in time for a good nights sleep. In the end, the Wildcats should be able to stay away from enough ambushes to come back safely from Copperhead Road. Wizard’s Winner…the Wildcats.
Gamblers vs. Juggernauts Allyson Edwards and her “Jugtown Jarheads” have long since had their BDFL title hopes shattered, but still need to rack up some victories to cut their losses by years end. Meanwhile, the two-time champion Gamblers are hanging on to their title hopes as tightly as they do the ace that is normally hidden up their sleeve. Unfortunately for Kenny, the Deuce will not be on the loose this weekend in the Big Easy making it very hard for him to bluff the home team into folding. Allyson has her own worries as well and will pin her hopes entirely on the erratic left arm and legs of Michael Vick, who has had a mostly dismal season so far. Nevertheless, the Wizard smells an upset, or at least a backdoor cover, and doesn’t see the Gamblers raking in the pot at night’s end. Wizard’s Winner…the Juggernauts. |
