It seems we here at the Sentinel have been the subject of some pot shots from the others in the league for the changes we have made and the “lack of content”! While we try not to take things too seriously, we are not fortunate enough to have players and bystanders writing in to us to help us out. With only so many eyes on the fields, we do our best. We don’t get to arbitrarily rank, use stats to base predictions, or some of the other things our colleagues do. With that said, we are not above some creative changes, and we will continue to work on providing the best recaps! With that said, let’s do this!

It's not how you start the season, it's how you finish. 

1. Margo Pagano recorded two touchdowns for the PowerPuff Girls and one she was laying flat on her back!! Talk about making it look easy!  Potential D5 Female MVP of the Year?
2. Dylan Jaloza intercepts the ball against Vaspian, hands the ball back into their orange mits on his way to the endzone. He was still smiling twenty minutes later thinking about how polite he was. Potential Beloved Male of the Year?
3. Dave Gdaniec engages in” Wanderer School of Route Running.” Catches a back line toe tap that had everyone in disbelief he could contort his body in such a way. 
4. Steph Infection picks up “playoff Langley” with their strong defense to keep them in the game early before they pull away from Carlyac Arrest in Breakfast Club Semi’s matchup. 
5. Eric Klecker has himself a day, intercepts Bullet Club in the Red Zone, records multiple sideline catches under the defender, and also gets Blinded by the Sun on Joe Miano’s best throw of the season. Potential D3 Male MVP of the Year?
6. Caitlin Mason might be Buffalo Vice’s entire offense, the ball only moved when it was thrown her way. Her shifty routes made it impossible to cover and the only thing holding Vice Back was that she wasn’t getting the ball more. Vice drops a double digit lead…
7. Zach of NSS, becomes the driving force for the Not So Sticky offense. Every time Zach ran an out or an in, Rags would hit him the velocity of 2022 Josh Allen and Touchdown efficiency of 2024 Josh Allen. 
8. CFB Picks off Pit Harade, laterals it for 8 to start the game until Pit Harade makes a run of its own. As CFB asserts its dominance down the stretch, Pit Harade makes a change at QB letting Alaina show her stuff, immediately throws a touchdown before benching her to go back to their regular QB. That move proves costly as he immediately throws a pick, calling into question Joe K’s bid for GM of the Year.
9. Ashley Bower slides for a touchdown after it was tipped by Steph, at the front line. Ashley seen later in the game mossing for another TD, giving Kelsey Harrigan a run for most valuable Bullet Club female!
10. Malikye of Select showed off his nimble shiftiness, leaving ILFers in the dust while snagging deep balls over multiple defenders. Even in loss, the league is beside itself as he was allowed all the way down in D4!
11. Nigel of Let's Get Reccked eclipses the rest of the star-studded cast, intercepts “Playoff B.”
12. Topper, WR 1 to Joe Flacco QB as Brandt Dubey struggles early, and Topper puts on his orange cape to lead TAST to a huge comeback victory over Buffalo Vice before dropping their game to Wanderers. Topper exclaims the rumors of his demise were vastly overstated!
13. Burr Watch- Untouchaballs looked to be in control of The Malones early in the game, Burr threw to the outside of the field early and often letting Matt Helm look like a stud with every diving and sliding catch he had. He also connected with Greg Mosicki on a back line sliding touchdown. Alas, The Malone speedy rusher and girls had too much of an impact in the second half that buried Burr. 

"Please remember there are NO SUBS ALLOWED for playoffs, so make sure your own people are available.  We gave teams 15 roster spots at the beginning of the season to plan for this, so hopefully you took advantage of that and used them all!  There will be no exceptions for any reason (outside of Breakfast Club) and any team caught using a non-rostered player will be given an immediate forfeit."

• BURR WATCH- Jeremy stumbles upon the Untouchaballs Game while searching for Joey Batts to discuss Cody Rhodes haircut. Begrudgingly QB’s and loses to Malones. 
• Breakfast club playoffs start off anti-climatic, as Carlyac Arrest and D’s Nutz roll to easy victories. While Steph and Garrett reffed games, they did NOT rig in their favor for next week!
• Scoring galore as Buffalo Vice and Wanders light up the score board, girls dominate with great catches, and the patented Caitlyn Mason juke moves, leaving Wanderers defenders ankles broken. Wanderers hang on to clinch top seed. 
• Sticky nation in shambles as Dave Eickhoff and Grey Hair knocks the defending champs down a peg, methodically moving the ball down the field. Jeff Krol’s coaching ability called into question during “super bowl hangover.” Drew Colosimo makes his return and makes immediate impact to help win next game against Frodo, however, to save the double-header split. 
• Jordan Lawson REFUSES to forfeit when half his team takes final week off, leads rag-tag sub-filled team to close matchup with Eyes Downtown in a great battle. 
• Paul Lovullo is once again sipping pina coladas on a beach somewhere, forcing QB2 into action for Come From Behind. With subs galore, CFB pulls off the victory over under-performing Gucci, locks in the 2 seed. 
• Tud Buds without Chris Wolcott step up to the task and avenge loss to Spinelli’s from the week before and pull off the victory. Sarah Taylor makes big plays, Mike Wolcott, better known as the shirted Wolcott, steps up and makes crucial catches. Chris was seen on the sideline, pounding drinks and coaching his team to victory. 
• Joe Buscaglia steps in to QB Stir the Sauce while Will is gone, and STS splits double-header, defeating Pit Harade while dropping matchup with the powerpuff girls. STS blames Mark Buscaglia for being too hard on his dad!
• Spinelli’s vs Gucci ends in big controversy, as referee is not back at the endzone on a Spinelli’s last second hail mary throw. Receiver catches the ball, but no ref in position to tell whether or not the receivers feet were in bounds. Instant replay will be the topic of discussion!
• The Herd splits their double header with TWO one point games, dropping to Creekers, then upsetting the ILFers. ILF complains about confusing scorecard from refs as they claim they were given the incorrect score during game. 
• Girthquakes cause earthquakes, rocking Cobblestone and Vaspian to close out successful first regular season. Matt Kieta could be heard loud and boisterous after signature QB performance.

September 21st

BURR WATCH 2024- In a jaw-dropping showdown against the Mavericks, Burr not only wrecks his knee in a brutal collision, but also tarnishes his QB legacy with a flurry of interceptions that leave fans stunned.

Stoner Dave delivers the catch of the year, snagging a multi-tipped Hail Mary while a defender literally rides his back!

In a nail-biting finale of the Wanderers vs. Practice Squad matchup, Al Laudico emerges as the unsung hero, thwarting Renee’s bid for a game-winning catch in a dramatic last-second play.

In an electrifying clash between PWI and Buller Club, TSL’s favorite Val leaves Addison in the dust, sprinting to a spectacular touchdown.

Jay from Blitzkrieg kicks off the game with an awe-inspiring interception against the Purple Nurples, setting the tone as Blitzkrieg scores over 40 points in both of their games that day!

Dylan battles through a frustrating first half, plagued by receivers who won’t catch a thing, but rises to the occasion with a thrilling second half that leads to a stunning victory.

Kyle Coniff is a force to be reckoned with, launching precision passes, racking up points by the hundreds, and snagging interceptions with style.

Money Mike dances down the back line to score an effortless touchdown, his infectious enthusiasm leaving the crowd in awe, even as they applaud his incredible feat.

The Jabronies, under the athletic play of John Costa, claim victory over their arch-rivals, Let’s Get Reccked, who faced them without their star, Recckio.

September 28th

BURR WATCH 2024- Jeremy Burr skips Untouchaballs game in the morning, in attendance for Wet Bandits in the afternoon. 

A Bobby McConnell impersonator ignites chaos with a shocking incident, sending both team into a frenzy!

Eyes Downtown Defense is on fire, with Cody Stumpf, Katie Salisbury, and Ben Stack each snagging interceptions from the Freeballers, leaving their opponents reeling and whining.

Matt Kieta dazzles on the field, throwing a near-perfect game and scoring four sensational Gender Touchdowns with Raena and Lexi!

In a gripping showdown at the Vaspian Game, Mary Mullen steps up and intercepts Derek Pew, turning the tide in her team’s favor.

Jordan Lawson ends up nursing a sore arm after tossing a record number of flags during the clash between the Wet Bandits and the Malones, struggling to keep up with a mountain of penalties, from pick plays, trips, to unsportsmanlike conduct!

Garrett is the ultimate league guy, distributing “TSL716 cards” and offering his services as a substitute quarterback, all while setting a record for the most teams subbed for in a single season!

Carly Reeb bursts onto the scene after her leg injury, stepping into the breakfast club game and making a splash with multiple impressive catches!

Cody Stumpf fills in for Kyle Coniff for the powerpuff girls, and they keep the good times rolling! Multiple crossing routes caught and deep balls galore as the ladies look like the class of D5!

Dylan Jaloza shows poise, grit and determination, leading Bullet Club down the field to ice the game amid a clock controversy. Joe K calls for GM of the year award for the team he put together. 

Colorado Mike stakes case for Breakfast Club MVP, showing off some moves after the catch (it only got an extra yard, but we have never seen him move like that) and shows toe-tapping ability with sideline touchdown catch.

Joe Miano stakes his claim as king of the deep ball, finding his guys downfield multiple times en route to close victory over Practice Squad and moving their way on up towards the top of the standings. 

Dan The Wrestler and his fellow Stir the Sauce compadres play stifling defense, snag one handers, and stir their way to the top of D5, vowing to avenge their championship game loss in spring. 

Joey Batts and his cunning stunts ladies continue their annihilation of D4, destroying Select and Creekers while talking their smack talk. The rumors of Joey having his swagger back are proven true. 

League sets record for most forfeit games in a weekend, Jeff Krol may need to figure out larger score discrepancy for no shows!
