Bellcows Outscore PowerSleds:

The Fieldstown Bellcows were not intimidated by the defending champion Fairfield PowerSleds in an opening week match-up in the BDFL. They were slightly intimidated the day before at tailgating festivities in T-Town with the Hand’s at The Commissioner’s digs in the presidential section, 6-9 blocks from Bryant-Denny Stadium, But, Belrose got Hime Hand a ticket, so it all worked out. Then on Sunday in the first week of the new 17-game, 18-week, NFL schedule, the Bell Heads put up 41-points to outscore the “Mean Machine,” by five. Mad Jack Barnes took the defeat in stride. He wasn’t happy with the outcome, but it’s not like he was playing the guards at some Louisiana prison with “all the marbles,” at stake in The Longest Yard.

Week One A.W. – Blitz Bombs ‘Birds:

The Druid City Blitz also scored an impressive 41-points in Week One of the BDFL/NFL season, complete with “fans in the stands.” On the “Fritz Gritz Blitz's” march to a vict’ry over the Fultondale Freebirds, the domination was so complete and total, it worked out as the only A.W. of the opening weekend. DaBlitz scored in almost every way imaginable and the “F’Birds” looked out-classed in almost every way thinkable. The youngest Hand Son in the Big Daddy Football League looked like Jimbo Fisher on the sidelines vs. Alabama (or Colorado), not knowing whether to scratch his watch or wind his @$$. Fritz served early notice to the rest of the BDFL, that this may be "DaYear of DaBlitz". Time will tell.

Mayors Put up 40 in Landslide vs. Gamblers:

You just don’t walk into Legion Field in the Magic City on a Sunday afternoon and stroll away with a win in the BDFL. You can be a card-carrying member of the Dixie Mafia, but if you don’t have connections with the Maldonado’s, Gorman’s and Gambino’s it can be a long, and painful experience. What the Gulf Coast Gamblers faced in the opening week of the season wasn’t quite that bad, but it was a 40-23 loss at the grubby hands of the Magic City Mayors. The Arrington Machine was running on all cylinders this past weekend and they had no trouble enforcing city ordinances or coming up with a big vict’ry over the visitors from down South, who were quickly “Southbound,” after their embarrassing defeat.

Dillos Dump Dogs by a Dozen:

Five teams in the BDFL scored 40 or more points in Week One of the 2021 season. The fifth and final team to top out at that level was the Duncanville Armadillos. That “little ol’ team from Texas,” hit the 40-point mark in a drubbing of the Brookside Dogs by a “baker’s dozen.” The ‘Dillos were cooking all through the weekend and the Dogs were caught on their hills a little bit as the “basking” from their 2019 title is finally ebbing to an end. The final score from Brookside Ball Park on the banks of the Five Mile Creek read 40-28 in favor of the visitors.

Cheetahs Catch and Claw Commissioner:

Well, in the flashback game, the only contest matching a pair of “original” BDFL teams from the inaugural 1995 season, the Southside Cheetahs defeated the Mineral Springs Grenadiers 34-30, in a game that went back-and-forth like the “old gang,” from the Irish Deli, to Louie’s, to Nick’s, to the Upside Down Plaza. The old “Sin Wagon,” illustrated that it can still roll downhill and The Commissioner showed that he can still find new ways to lose.

Bandits 21 – Sloth Monsters 16:

Who are the Bandits? The Bandits are the dude’s driving the black Trans-Am with the T-Top. The guys running interference going “eastbound and down.” The bad guys that are really the good guys. It’s the 2021 version of the Altadena Dorians, who changed their name in the off-season to more adequately reflect their background, image, and political affiliations. In Week One, with a new name, B.S. defeated M.H.D. (that stands for Michael Hewlitt Dismukes) by the final score of 21-16. The game was kind of sloppy and low-scoring, but a good debut for the team with the new name, image, and likeness (NIL). Meanwhile, the Sloth Monsters were spotted on their way to Mike’s to begin re-grouping for the remainder of the season.
