In a weird NFL/BDFL season, effected by Covid-19 and scheduling changes and interruptions to normal activities, a pair on Monday Night (afternoon) Football games had a big impact on the football landscape in Week Number Six. The Benton Bullets, who had won only one game thru five weeks (and that was in overtime), were facing a huge deficit after Sunday going against the previously undefeated Southside Cheetahs. Then, after the first Monday game (KC @ Buffalo), the powerful Sin Wagon led the old Bullerino 36-11. But, the Bullets began to regroup and reform their front lines, and then started to “get ready, aim, and fire!” Bullet’s team started to score points and gain momentum with short TDs, then the Bullets hit a bomb, and when the sloppy, mistake-prone, turnover laden, and ugly MNF game between the Cowboys and Cardinals went past the Two Minute Warning, Kenyan Drake, had a flashback to his kickoff return vs. Clemson… and he scored on an “oh-by-the-way” 69-yard TD run to propel the Bullets to vict’ry and give the Cheetahs their first loss of the season.

Blitz Dodges Upset to Remain Unbeaten:

From the NFL’s sloppiest game to perhaps the worst game in the BDFL in Week Six, the Druid City Blitz overcame a sluggish effort to defeat the woeful Jugtown Juggernauts, 20-11. In a weird way, the Gritz Blitz can take some comfort in the fact that they didn’t play their best and still notched a win, and at the same time, found a way to stay undefeated in 2020. As for the ‘Nauts, they are just bad, but not bad enough in Week Six to get the Toilet Seat team of the Weak award.

Mayors Claim Toilet Seat Award:

The Magic City Mayors had no magic this past weekend. That’s something that happens periodically, so it’s really no big deal for the Cronies. The Mayor also wasn’t concerned with the low point total, because that occurs from time to time. And, even though Arrington avoided single-digits they still earned the “Toilet Seat Team of the Weak” award. Even that fact doesn’t bother the Mayors as much as the following: they lost to their old rival, and The Commissioner of the BDFL and his Grenadiers – formerly known as the Green Springs Gut Grenades. Now, that hurts.

Bellcows Notch Week’s Only A.W. vs. ‘Dillos:

Are the Bellcows producing or drinking Muscle Milk? D.B.’s cow bell ringing bovine bunch stampeded to a big A.W. vict’ry over the Duncanville Armadillos in Week Six. The Bellcows strolled out to a big lead and then grazed to one of the biggest wins in their short franchise hist’ry. The Duncanville Armadillos had no answer for the cattle drive that ran right over them. K.P.’s crew tried to rustle up some cowboys to stem the charge and looked into purchasing and installing barbed wire, but they struck out on all fronts and had to just grin and bare the slaughter, and just resolve to lick their wounds and get ready for next week.

Sloths Avoid A.W. but Still Lose to Wildcats:

There was almost another A.W. in this week’s action in the Big Daddy Football League, but the Sloth Monsters clawed their way to a four-finger handful of points on Monday Night to avoid that kind of embarrassment. As for the Western Hills Wildcats, who notched the 33-20 win, they could hardly care less as they notched a key vict’ry and avoided falling to 1-5 on the season. The win improves the James Gang’s record to just 2-4, but it stops the bleeding and allows the BioCats to look forward to at least competing for a potential playoff position in 2020. “It’s kinda like kinetic energy,” said a BioCat fan.

Dorians Roll Past Deacons:

The Blue Deacons did fall to 1-5 on the season. Anthony’s Hayden District Bishop Squad (HDBS) fell to the Altadena Dorians by 20-points, but luckily that’s one-point north of an official A.W. So, Bishop can go back to his convocation of Blue Deacons and look ‘em in the eyes and tell them that it wasn’t that bad. Meanwhile, the win (A.W. or not) was huge for the Dorians, who lead the Green Horn Division in overall points, but who have just now moved above then Mendoza Line to 3-3 on the season. Ol’ Barry’s Taft Rockets took care of business in Week Six behind the leadership of Reno Hightower in his Joe Namath knock-off white shoes and classic, green, Number 12 jersey. And, let’s just go ahead and give a shout out to Kurt Russell who portrayed Reno, and Herb Brooks in Miracle, and the dude in John Carpenter’s re-make of The Thing, the teen hero in the Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, the handy man in Overboard, and Wyatt Earp in Tombstone. “You tell ‘em I’m coming. I’m coming… and hell’s coming with me!”

Dogs Rally to Catch Freebirds:

The Brookside Dogs rallied late to catch and overcome the Black Creek Freebirds by the final score of 23-16. It was an even-Steven type of game, but it ended up being a little sweeter for the defending BDFL champions. The vict’ry improves Mark’s Mutts to 3-3 on the season, and drops the Fultondale F’birds to the same .500 mark with six weeks of the season in the books. Both teams still have high hopes for the remainder of the 2020 season. The Dogs – while still basking – and looking to repeat, while Jammin’ Jaimie Hand’s team is struggling to remain in the proverbial upper echelon on the BDFL (kinda like all of his fantasy teams in his “other” leagues).

PowerSleds Sludge to OT Vict’ry Over Gamblers:

In a game where both teams would like to get a do-over, or a re-do, or get a mulligan, or call “slippage,” the PowerSleds outlasted the Gamblers in overtime. It’s a win the Mean Machine will accept, but nothing like coming from behind to beat the guards on the last play of the game, by watching Paul “Wrecking” Crew go The Longest Yard by running a quarterback keeper by reversing his field, in slo-motion to score the winning TD. True sports fans still refuse to watch the re-make with the water boy trying to fill the shoes of an actual ex-college football player, who went on to become the Bandit.
