Armadillos With Mixed Emotions – Done in by Bullets on MNF:

Wil’s aforementioned Dad – K.P. – had mixed emotions over MNF. K.P. was proud of Wil getting a sweet gig at the Worldwide Leader and some nice change. However, his Duncanville Armadillos had to face the Benton Bullets with three shots still left in the chamber after Sunday’s action. Ol’ Bullerino had guys on the opposite team of King Henry with two wide receivers and one QB on the Buffalo Bills. The combination of B.B.’s (in the State of Tennessee with B.B. King – pardon the pun) turned out to be too much. In the BDFL, the ‘Dillos had an 11-point lead going into MNF, but the Bullets scored 13-points in that one pivotal game and pulled out a come-from-behind vict’ry by the final score of 28-26. The Boys from Benton gave most of the credit to their pre-game ritual of staying in T-Town Friday and Saturday night, visiting Starkvegas to get the Tide back on a roll, and then waiting until MNF to fire the shots they needed to get the win.

Iron Sharper than Tomahawks – As Commish Wins Brother Bowl:

The Fultondale Freebirds are no longer the Black Creek Wooden Warriors. The Freebirds do carry more than a “mic stand,” into battle. They actually have an old tomahawk, but it’s one of those flimsy, souvenir ones that you used to get at Six Flags, or Rock City, or at the State Fair. Meanwhile, the Mineral Springs Grenadiers – guided by Iron Hand – come out swinging one of the real swords (made of iron) that either Gary Carter or Conan the Barbarian (the original) used to brandish. So, Iron was sharper than Hime Hand in Week Six of the BDFL, and it wasn’t even close as the Grenadiers put an A.W. on the F’birds, 45-12. Jammin’ Jaimie Hand was one-point short of getting the “Toilet Seat Team of the Weak” award. However, he did get the "Bonehead of the Week" award leaving Henderson and Waddle on the pine.

Another A.W. – Wildcats Maul the Mayors 33-11:

The “Toilet Seat Team of the Weak” designation in Week Six in the Big Daddy Football League went to the Magic City Mayors, who didn’t even show up to pick up the hardware or in this case toiletries. The Arrington Cronies were out-classed (if you can believe that) by the Western Hills Wildcats. In what turned out to be the third A.W. of the weekend, the Wildcats whipped up on the Mayors in the friendly confines of Legion Field. The Mayors are petitioning to use the new BJCC/UAB football field. As it stands now, they are being out-flanked by the City Council, a few long-standing municipal ordinances, and a lack-luster populace.

Cheetahs Finally Fall – Beaten by DaBlitz:

It was a good run by the Southside Cheetahs. It was a good start to the 2021 BDFL season by the Sin Wagon, piloted by Mr. Butch Neal. But, all good things must come to an end (and it’s  same with the wildwood weed). The Cheetahs had managed to win five straight games to open the season, while at the same time hold onto last place in their division. How does that happen? It’s a statistical anomaly (Google that, Big Daddy). In Week Six in BDFL action, all of that good fortune for the Cheetahs ran out like “sand through the hour glass.” It was time for the Druid City Blitz to shine and sparkle this past weekend, and Jerry Fritz Gritz Blitz won big over the Cheetahs on the road, 31-16.

Bandits Utilize New OT Rule in Vict’ry vs. Gamblers:

In the closest and most hotly contested game in Week Six in the BDFL, the Bandits and Gamblers went toe-to-toe for 60-minutes. When the stadium clock in lovely Altadena hit 00:00, the score on the fancy LED read-out said, 25-25. In the BDFL, there’s actually no more action on the field at that point. So, the Gulf Coast Gamblers and the Altadena Bandits went to the @$$ system on the cyberspace side of the League Office to see who would come up with the win in the BDFL’s version of “sudden death” overtime. When the tabulations were completed, it was determined by the league (and not necessarily the two teams involved), that the “winner” of the game was the Bandits. In high school, the old put on the 10-yard line system is employed for OT, in college football it’s still the weird put it on the 25-yard line, then go twice – if necessary – then start going for two. Nowadays in the NFL, it’s a first TD wins or back and forth nothings or field goals or until the 10-minutes runs out, and it’s a tie. So… long story short… too late… there is no good system out there for overtime. So…Give the league office a break.

Mark’s Mutts Bite the ‘Nauts:

Elsewhere in the BDFL in Week Six, the Brookside Dogs won a snoozer over the Jugtown Juggernauts, 23-17, at Brookside Ball Park on the banks of the Five Mile Creek. Not due to Covid or any other factors attainable to the staff at The Bulletin, this game just did not draw any attention outside of Brookside, or Gardendale. In fact, accounts of the game have both teams playing a large amount of grab-@$$, and just out right “dogging it.” In the case of the Brookside Dogs, that played right into their hands as Mark’s Mutts picked up an important win in the BDFL by turning away the ‘Nauts by six in Week Six.

Bishops Beat Bellcows

After a terrible representation by the Fieldstown Bellcows in College Station, Texas, the Bellcows were able to get back on the right track from a personal standpoint by re-grouping in Starkville, Mississippi. However, none of that transferred to Week Six action in the BDFL. On Sunday, a trip to Blount County turned out to be disastrous for David Belrose and his heifers. The Mt. High Blue Deacons were lying in wait in the hayfields of Hayden. Bishop’s team put it on the Bellcows, 25-15. It was a vict’ry that the Bishop Nation could be proud of and one that could resonate as the season continues for the Hayden District Bishop Squad (HDBS).
