Tumblin' Dice
Dangerous Russell Wilson has the Gulf Coast Gamblers on a roll over the last two weeks in the BDFL

The Gamblers are on a hot streak in the BDFL

EASTERN SHORE - The Rolling Stones' classic hit Tumbling Dice was originally entitled Good Time Women and was co-written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for the 1972 double album Exile on Main Street. The song was recorded in the basement of the chateau Villa Nellcote in France. It peaked at #7 on the U.S. Billboard charts and reached #5 in the United Kingdom. The lyrics tell the story of a down on his luck gambler who cannot remain faithful to one woman. I'm the lone crap shooter, playin' the field ev'ry night. The music features a boogie-woogie blues rhythm and has been noted for its irregular lyrical structure and funky groove. The song's slow tempo is credited for creating this unique groove sound. Richards wrote the musical riff upstairs in the elegant front room of the chateau and they took it to the basement the same evening and cut it for the album. Jagger came up with the song's final lyrics after talking to the Villa Nellcote housekeeper about gambling and her love for rolling dice. With Charlie Watts on the drums and Mick Taylor on bass, Tumbling Dice is a Rolling Stones staple. It's basically an old blues track about gambling and love. The Gamblers are loving this roll they are on over the last two weeks in the BDFL. Here is Tumbling Dice by the Rolling Stones.

It is time for the BDFL's annual Pucker Factor Poll

TITLETOWN - The Pucker Factor Poll (PFP) doesn't apply to all the teams in the BDFL. Some are able to coast to the BDCS playoffs while others are already out of it altogether. However, the poll does apply to a select bunch in the middle that are on the proverbial pot. The Poll is neither subjective, nor objective, but does go by an intricate W-L-PTS secret formula that is more complex than the Colonel Harland Sanders' Kentucy Fried Chicken recipe. The Colonel's Kentucky Buckets will get a game during Throwback Week 2018. Check out the latest PFP here.
