1) GW Tire - Their only blemish so far this season has come against HMC. They've come out strong again with a blistering 6-1 record after putting their foots on the necks of Alter Ego. They spent more time watching my game this week then they did their own. A championship rematch with the Saints is a very real possibility.
2) Saints - Bam Johnson cannot make the game. No problem we will just trot Randy out there. No Brandon Johnson? Bret Stroman will plug and play. No matter what calamity strikes the team the depth chart just puts the next man up. Even an injury to Brandon Feinstein did not slow down the train against Miami. Games are closer than usual, but they keep on winning.
3) Lions - Winning usually covers tension. I have NEVER seen so much dysfunction on a 5-2 team in my life. All fingers seem to pointing to the relationship between the BBQ chicken guys and Matthew Pramberger. For season upon season Prams has struggled to keep championship caliber talent for longer than 2 seasons. When you feign like you're leaving at halftime only to get upset when the team starts the second half without you what do you expect? The team struggles for points, but they're still 5-2. No one's asking, but who cares how you got there?
4) Elite - played a game that saw a combined 91 points scored. Lucky for Elite Charlie is the best to do it in Mercer so he bailed out a defense that had allowed a TOTAL of 59 points in the first six weeks. This Elite team might be the most offensively dynamic team Charlie has had, but will it be enough to overcome the Saints, Overachievers, or the Lions?
5) Blue Bulls - Elite and You Gone Learn Today. This is the list of teams that has beaten the Blue Bulls this season. With a 5-2 record the Blue Bulls are primed for a high seed in the playoffs. Yet to be seen if this squad is a paper tiger, but how can you argue with a 5-2 record? I can argue with my wife, but 5-2? That shit is rock solid.
6) Average Joe's - They have a better record in Mercer than they do in Burlington. Not sure if their record is a product of their strength of schedule or their ability. They've quietly had a good season with solid play and all out effort. They've come in and have earned their respect. Not from me, but I am sure someone respects them!
7) Knights - nothing. That is usually my answer to the question, "Tony, what do you add to society?". It can also be the answer to the question "What do you know about the Knights?". They have a 4-2 record so a double header is on the horizon. Should be a good time to watch and see what these guys are all about until then, Stay Cool and Keep Beating Crumbs.
8) Those Guys - beat the dog shit out of Venom! I think it is Ramadan for a few of the guys on the team so they get a pass on the result especially since they got the win. Mt Fat Ass here cannot go more than two hours without eating so fasting during daylight hours is something I cannot begin to fathom. I mean this with all sincerity and respect: tusahibuk alsalama
9) You Gon Learn Today - I was grabbing the phone out of my car in order to ignore the members of the Burlington League that we decided to leave. On my way back to the fields I watched the sickest throw and catch of the season as (Yo I really need to learn your names) the QB threw a bomb to the right corner of the endzone that dropped straight down into the arms of their covered wide receiver who managed to secure it and drag his feet in. I immediately lifted my arms in the air and cheered because that was some good shit. They should be higher in the rankings because they quote the blog to me and they definitely learned how to get two wins today!
10) Miami - the result against the Saints was not totally unexpected. They're trying to get the chemistry together so playing against the champs close is a moral victory. What was fun for me was to listen to John Feldhaus and OZ of the Lions going back and forth about playing each other. I giggled like a schoolgirl when they were saying, "OK, ask for the game!". Confidence is high and the laughs were plenty so thank you!
11) HMC Elite - I feel like I have lost to Charlie every fucking way imaginable. Defensive games, check. Blowouts, check. Shootouts, and check. 4-3 and currently the sixth seed makes us slightly more than mediocre, but not by much.
12) Commission - Joe Falkowski is an asshole, but I like him and I like how he plays. The Commission STRUGGLED with a Falcons team that came into the game with one win. However, they managed to win and they are not giving the "W" back. Maybe this will help them shake off the cobwebs and get back to contender status.
13) Raptors - Are in a dogfight for first place in their division and a top three seed. You read that right! The motherfucking RAPTORS are in a dogfight for first place in their division and a top three seed with three weeks left in the season. Beat an Irish team that is struggling to find players week in and week out. It was a good win and they have established themselves as a team to be taken seriously.
14) Venom - Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about
Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya
(Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya
(Back here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
15) KPC - Imran is celebrating the results of the 2019 Scripps Spelling Bee this week (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/31/us/2019-indian-americans-spelling-bee-trnd/index.html). In doing so he managed to get KPC playing at a high level with a solid win over Hardville. Too bad the spelling bee isn't every week!
16) Warriors - motherfuckers are in Germany and manage to crack the top 16. Resilience is the word with these guys. Especially when you spill stout on someone's couch and still get invited to the next thing. Remy, you are the man!
17) Ducks 18) Exquisite 19) Ravens 20) Irish 21) Bulldogs 22) Suicide Squad 23) Dynasty 24) Hardville 25) Old Dogs 26) Falcons 27) Spartans 28) Alter Ego
