So the games were cut early this week due to inclement weather. Now I have to basically write the same article with like no where close to the same amount of games to comment on. This ought to be fun. All right let’s go…..

-I had a chance to get a real good look at the DMX vs Team Topper game this week. It was being billed as a possible D3 title preview but I walked away with more questions than answers. I saw a pretty much full speed Team Topper. I saw a QB struggling with the weather conditions as a lot of his passes just seemed “off a click.” The thing about DMX that impressed me most was that all their guys seemed like the same version of the next. They just trotted out 3 very good very quick guys that all just made plays. DMX looked to have a big speed edge on Team Topper. I am now lost with D3. Morning Wood and Bullet Club both seem to be sinking quicker than the Titanic. I am not sold on Gryffindor yet. Team Topper looks to be a team that could lay an egg on a bad weather day. Which leaves A&A and DMX. Both of these teams seem like (2) squads to keep your eyes on down the stretch.  

-Tight End Zones started the day at 0-4 and all looked lost. By days end they were 2-4 and they look to be back in the D6 title race. I am sorry to say this but it is now my prediction that The BiPolar Express will go winless the rest of the season. This week was their best chance at victory.

-For the first time in history at around like 12:00 it started to rain hard and for some reason I still may never understand everyone just stopped playing and in like 5-6 minutes the whole league was at the bar. With nothing to do except wait, out came the Topper’s Wheel of Hope and 5 minutes later The McKenzie Agency reigned supreme as this week’s victor. Unlike Celino Sewer Rats up came challenge #2 but this time it was accepted. Brent McKenzie stood tall and spun the POP wheel and won (2) free tickets to the fall banquet.

-There was no team in this league with more pressure on them than Sticky Bandits. They were  playing this week for their playoff lives. They needed inspiration then IT happened. They came to the fields and saw “Cardboard cut out Dave Baker Nation.” (5) cardboard cut out Dave Bakers stood tall in the Field #2 endzone. Later during their game the 6^th Dave Baker was presented. Sticky Bandits went on to win 28-0. There are those that will tell you that the team came to play this week but we all know “Cardboard cut out Dave Bakers” were the real reason this team is back in the chase for social co ed football immortality.  There is a rumor circulating round yonder parts that a certain Team Topper young lady ran to the card board cut outs thinking one of them was actually Dave Baker but I can not get that confirmed at this time.

- Is there a team hotter In TSL right now than Hope N Ruin? Your reigning and DEFENDING D5 champs entered the valley of death to face the new “flavor of the month” Cunning Stunts and by games end won their 2^nd game in a row 39-36. HNR has now beat Cunning Stunts and Come from Behind in back to back weeks. This is one team I would keep my eye on down the stretch. My game was going on at the same time so I couldn’t talk to Joey Batts post game. If I did I am sure he would be the awesome leader that he is. He would have told me they should have won, that he played magical and that if his team just played a little better for him things could have been different. After seeing CS lose 39-36 I couldn’t help but think their offense needed to just play better.

-Witter’s got a huge win over Vandalay Industries this week which means they are basically in for the playoffs. The last slot in D5 looks like it’s coming down to Vandalay Industries and ACE. I see Hope N Ruin taking off down the stretch.  UFO looks to be out and they could be heading to D6. VI is up against it this week with (2) big games with the Stunts and AWDIQ.

-Ultimate Warriors started out so well then fell on tough times the past few weeks. No one gave them much of a chance this week against Cintas and the league MVP. 50 minutes later UW got a huge win 15-14 and they are now back in the D4 title chase. What a difference a week makes. UW played stifling defense as they held one of this league’s greatest players to only 14 points.  UW improves to 4-3 and is now in the #4 hole in the playoff chase.

-So what the heck is going on with this whole Bullet Club/3^rd and Schlong thing? Great call out BTW with 40 YPG. It was eloquent and magical. I still am shocked that the D4 team keeps standing tall and the D3 team keeps “making excuses” and “checking their schedules” and so forth. I had a chance to catch up with 3AS and they basically again said let’s do this whenever. I also ran into BC who basically said wellllll we need to check our schedules blah blah blah. If you ask me 3AS has all the leverage right now and BC is starting to look very lame. I can only hope Joe K comes out with some form of magical rebuttal speech and this friendly rivalry takes the next step as this game would be funny.

-Speaking of 40YPG kudos to Molly Morgan who in did in fact spend a day last week with the 40YPG. The two went through the car wash at Delta Sonic and had a chance to have a few cocktails last week. The weather got a tad too bad for golfing but they still made good on their promise. And yes to answer your next question Molly Morgan did receive a 3AS hat. And to answer your next question after that NO Katie Keller did not care to comment on the situation.

-I still don’t know what to think or make of this impeding clash of the titans between Cunning Stunts and Matty’s Angels. There are so many storylines in this one. One has Matty Ice and one has Joey Batts. One has Emily and one has Emily 2.0. One has Clarkes the other has Bernals. Molly Morgan was on CS but then just went to MA one day. This game should be good. MA seem to be that team that can just chuck it and duck it all over the field. CS seem to be that team that play a very solid very disciplined system. I am curious to see what kind of factor the weather plays in this one. A sloppy track could impact both teams. These are the games we live for people. I could be wrong but I could have sworn I saw Katie Salisbury Saturday. If she is back this could heavily swing the odds in the Angels favor.  The only problem is every game we have promoted to be legendary has missed the mark and I for one hope we get the slugfest we all are hoping for. I am curious to see if this game gets flex scheduled.

-I see a very improved SITE in D3. I think they finally have QB stability which goes a long way in     this league. SITE seems to be ever improving as they sit at 2-3-1 but they no longer are the punch line of a joke. SITE can play and will continue to get better. I see weapons on offense and a team that could be 1 player and a season or 2 away from really competing.

-So let’s do some math shall we….Emily 2.0 plays for HK7 last week and they lose. Emily 2.0 decides to forego her game with HK7 this week to play for the Cunning Stunts and they lose. HK7 in her absence beats Indecent Exposure 38-22. Hmmmmm am I the only who sees a pattern developing here?

-I left Saturday feeling bad for Award Winning Tommy Hughes. Tommy Hughes is having a stellar season at QB but it just seems like his team is letting him down. With the score 16-0 and time winding down in the first half of the #XTC/PE game Hughes was in hurry up mode. With the clock racing at 6 and 0 Hughes ran an ISO route to Flynn. He put him solo left on Boccio and had him drag into the middle of the field. On his break Hughes threw a perfect pass that bounced off Flynn’s hand half over. I say “hand” because Flynn forgot for a moment that God gave us all 2 hands so we could use them both to catch. The route was perfect, the read was perfect, the throw was perfect they just didn’t finish. You can’t lay that play or that game on Hughes as he played well and deserved a better fate.

- I know ED were coming to town playing short handed but did I read that right Racks and Sacks is up 14-0 on Eyes Downtown with one half left to make up on 11-3?

-If you haven’t I would suggest making sure you email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We have like 2 weeks left and everybody and their brother is thinking make up games. You better hurry up and get your field confirmed or you could be on the outside looking in as fields go fast.

- I took a quick glance at this week’s schedule the Team Topper Morning Wood game intrigues me. MW continues to sink faster than the titanic. Is it the weather? Are they having attendance issues? Where is their QB? You can’t win if you can’t score and in the last 2 weeks MW has thrown up a whopping 12 points. Yes there are those that will say MW has Uncle Topper’s number as they shocked the world in last session playoffs but can they do it again? I have a feeling the Clarke sisters are about to lay a thumping on the gals from Morning Wood. With that being said I still am not sure the guys of TT can go with the guys of MW. Time will tell…..I do know one thing no one will be happier than Topper not to see a certain fiery young pass rusher lady in this week’s MW line up.

-So the Mayors showed up and took care of business this week. Now they have to play HATBF all over again. I was hearing rumors HATBF was missing people and that was why they lost. Well this week they get to change their luck circle the wagons and fight the Mayors again. I watched a little of the MM HATBF game I still am baffled HATBF is making simple technical errors. When the guy who is normally your corner is covering a third of the field and finds himself heads up with Andy Smith something is wrong with your defense.

-Talking about games that  get you excited it looks like it is so on at 9am as Public Enemy and Eyes Downtown are about to re-kindle one of the greatest rivalries in the game today. Last season in the semi-finals ED beat PE in over time. These teams both are coming to town at the top of the division. Both boast the 2 best QBs in the league, both have stars all over the field and both are well run. If you like good football teams playing good football this is the game for you.

-I always enjoy the funny stories we hear of each week. Late in the day I had a chance to catch up with Topper outside. We were both at the outside bar. At one point we both looked over and saw a young lady at the bar enjoying herself and then a guy came over who looked like he had a few at which point Topper looked at me and said “Oh crap fine I got this she needs a safe word I think it will be Memphis.” Moments later the same young lady said something else to another person and found herself upside down as a certain D1 QB decided to helicopter said lady. All I could hear was the girl quietly yelling “Memphis, Memphis Memphis!!!”

-BTW you are at football anyways have you ever considered being a TSL official? We are always looking for players to ref a game or two when able. If you ever have interest please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or come find Topper myself or Rameer at the fields as we would love to add you to our group. The first step is always the hardest step……..

CYA next week…..I think
