MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - Week 7 (Final Week)

It's that time gentlemen...it's the final week of the season. The week where some teams just chill and don't care about the results, the week where you are vying for that final spot in the playoffs, or the week where Jacked Up catches up with the rest of All-Pro in games (3 this week) and gets on a roll before next week's playoffs.

So let's get right down to this week's games.

8:30am

Franchise (2-4) vs Jacked Up (1-3): Both teams are on a streak...a losing streak. So one thing is for sure, someone is going to have a win today. The question is, who? Franchise forfeited last week as they were going to have to play their 3rd game without their QB and JU took a week off too to heal their wounds. I have no idea what to expect here but a physical game. (Franchise -1.5)

9:45am

Untouchables (6-0) vs All Express (2-4): Untouchables are in good form again this season and rolling. If you listen to Kosty there is no telling what All Express squad is going to show up. If you have a blue shirt you might just have a chance to play with them. (all in good fun guys) I don't care who shows up. The only team in my opinion that can play head to head with them is a full Victors squad. (Untouchables -8)

11:00am

CCC (2-4?) vs Jacked Up (1-3): I am not sure of the actual record for CCC as Mike has both them and FH getting a loss last week. Here's one thing I do know. This is game two for JU and both of them have only won against the same team. Based on experience I say: (Jacked Up -4)

12:15pm

Shire (6-0) vs TTB (5-1): First off, this game doesn't really matter as both teams have locked up the #1 seed for their respective divisions. But you can't tell them that. This football game has the makings of being a great one. I don't even know who to pick here. But since it is supposed to be a gorgeous day you should stick around and watch if you're not doing anything. (EVEN)

Okay, so those are the games of the week in their respective time slots. Now on to stuff that may or may not start some debate...The Mac Poll:

ALL PRO MAC POLL:

1. (LW 2) Untouchables (6-0)

2. (LW 1) Victors (5-1)

3. (LW 4) Mayhem (4-1)

4. (LW 6) Fuzion (3-3)

5. (LW 3) LBH2 (3-3) 

6. (LW 5) Franchise (2-4)

7. (LW 7) Jacked Up (1-3)

8. (LW 8) All Express (2-4)

9. (LW 9) CCC (2-4?)

10. (LW 10) Scores (0-6)

Untouchables climbed for obvious reasons...Mayhem climbed with a win an locked in #2 in their division. Fuzion climbed 3 spots because they beat LBH and Franchise forfeited. Standings for divisions look like this:

East: #1 Untouchables - #2 Mayhem are locked. #3-5 is up for grabs. 

West: #1 Victors - #2 LBH - #3 All Express - #4 CCC - #5 Scores - All locked in. 

The big question is: Does Mike do reseeding after the first round? Victors and Untouchables get a bye since it is a 10 team playoff.  

PRO MAC POLL:

1. Shire (6-0) - IN

2. Hit Squad (5-1) - IN

3. TTB (5-1) - IN

4. Hitmen (3-3) - IN

5. Menace (2-4) - OUT

6. Bulldawgs (2-4) - OUT

7. Go 4 Broke (1-5) - OUT

8. Spartans (0-6) - OUT 

Per the League only the top two per division make it in. They are locked in. 

East: #1 Shire - #2 Hit Squad 

West: #1 TTB - #2 Hitmen

SEMI-PRO MAC POLL:

1. Crabcakes (6-0)

2. Balls Deep (5-1)

3. Circus Show (3-3)

4. Bayside Tigers (2-4)

5. Warriors (2-4)

6. I Hate Brion (0-6)

Zack Morris and the Tigers took down the Warriors 6-0 resulting in the only changes in this week's poll. All teams in Semi-Pro make it to the playoffs. I would imagine that Balls Deep and Crabcakes would get byes and then it would go from there. My thoughts are that it will be Balls Deep vs Crabcakes in a rematch for the championship. Outcome of their game earlier this season was 18-19 by way of the Crabcakes.

Okay...that's it from here. Good luck out there this weekend.

MDSSC Summer Flag Football - Week 6

No one wins....it is supposed to be 102 with a heat index of 115...

Published with Blogger-droid v1.4.8

Update, It was way too hot to care what the scores of the other games were. Sorry about  not posting last week. I had a busy week and unfortunately didn't have the time to do it before Friday. I will tell you that the Untouchables were able to beat the Victors pretty easily. I will say this though... I wish the game would have been rescheduled. The Victors were missing all of their offensive players due to a 9 man contact tourney in AC. At the same time, I won't slight the Untouchables they have won two titles and are looking good again this season. And because they should be on the opposite side of the bracket from the Victors it would be nice to see a rematch later on this year. Other than that there was some good games by a couple of other teams but everyone couldn't wait to get off the field. Frankly, I am surprised that every team showed up... even Mayhem and All Express were able to play their game without Skip and Vito due to some conflicting stories.. Mayhem won that game. 

Lastly, I will say this. I had the privilege to witness (ref) one of the best games of the year. It was Roger and the Hitmen versus Mac and the Shire. Unfortunately, it got a little chippy in the 2nd half... it was either the heat or the Shire close to collapsing due to the Hitmen owning them and storming back into the game from two scores down. However, the Shire was able to compose themselves enough to make one last drive with a minute to go and being down by 6. In one of the best plays I have seen in a while...Shire was able to get a huge chunk of yardage to get within 15 of the end-zone. It was here were everything would come down to defense or offense. Unfortunately, for Hitmen, they weren't able to stop the TD but had a chance with no time left to stop the conversion and force OT. This didn't happen and Shire won it by a point to narrowly escape defeat and stay undefeated. 

Again, hats off to these two teams for playing until the end and trying to keep their heads on even with the "heat" getting to them. Based on everything, it looks like they should be headed to a rematch in the first round of the playoffs. Should be exciting. 

More to come this week....

MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - Mac Poll - Week 6

ALL PRO MAC POLL:

1. Victors (6-0)

2. Untouchables (5-0)

3. LBH2 (3-2)

4. Mayhem (3-1)

5. Franchise (2-3)

6. Fuzion (2-3)

7. Jacked Up (1-3)

8. All Express (2-3)

9. CCC (1-4)

10. Scores (0-6)

Jacked up looked shaky this weekend starting their first game without their QB and the second one with only 7 guys. This was also the first weekend that I saw a full All Express squad. So with that being said, even though AE won two games and JU lost both of theirs...I'm leaving the 7/8 as is for this week. Maybe I will be a believer in All Express after Saturday... 

PRO MAC POLL:

1. Shire (5-0)

2. Hit Squad (4-1)

3. TTB (4-1)

4. Hitmen (3-2)

5. Menace (2-3)

6. Bulldawgs (2-3)

7. Go 4 Broke (0-5)

8. Spartans (0-5)

SEMI-PRO MAC POLL:

6. I Hate Brion (0-4)

MDSSC Flag Football - Week 5 Wrap-Up

Here are the flag football scores from yesterday:

8:30am:

Jacked Up (1-1) vs Fuzion (1-3): Fuzion was able to take advantage of Jacked Up's lack of a QB early by picking off his first two passes, one for a TD. Before they new it JU was down 20-0. JYU's QB finally showed up but it was a little too late. It was a hell of a defensive 2nd half with only 15 points scored in total. The final score was Fuzion 28 - Jacked Up 7. (Original Projection: JU -2)

Victors (4-0) vs LBH2 (3-1): I didn't get to see this game as I was at the JU-Fuzion game but the final score was 33-19 by way of the Victors...Courtesy of 3 TD's from #9. (Original Projection: Victors -10)
Go 4 Broke (0-4) vs Bulldawgs (1-3): No Score reported...Update, Bulldawgs won, 39-25.

9:45am:

All Express (0-3) vs Scores (0-5): Kosty didn't lie.. The All Express had a new look about them and actually had 11 guys. Scores unfortunately didn't. This one was over pretty quick. Final score 45-12 - All Express.

Mayhem (1-1) vs CCC (1-2): Another one I didn't get to see but after interviewing a Mayhem player, I found out that CCC scored a late touchdown to make the game seem closer. Final score 33-32.

Franchise (1-1) vs Untouchables (4-0): Well the first of two football games for Franchise wasn't a fun one. It was a tough adjustment for them to start the weekend without Proc. They lost this one big. No final score reported for them but Untouchables covered. (Original Projection: Untouchables -6) "Untouchables 45 Franchise Hollywood 12. Game ended early. Halftime score was 33-6"

Balls Deep (2-1) vs Circus Show (3-1): [Semi-Pro] Okay Pre-K...I expect an explanation or at least a comment about your game this weekend. The final score of this one was 38-6 by way of Balls Deep. (Original Projection: Balls Deep -4)

11:00am:

Victors (4-0) vs Jacked Up (1-1): So Jacked Up had a tough go of it first thing in the morning without their QB... this time around one of their best players was unable to make it back and JU had to play with only 7 guys. They played a hell of a game considering the circumstances. Their Todd Heap and Coach Tim made some crazy catches to keep their hopes up. Unfortunately, #9, #29 and #5 had a different plan and with the help of Bill throwing them the ball they routed JU 39-20. That's 2 more TD's for #9 giving him 5 for the day. Original quote from #9: "I smell ummmmmm maybe 4 tds maybe 5 ill see how I feel when I wake up on saturday!!!!" So there you have it. He followed through. (Original Projection: Victors -4)

Shire (4-0) vs Menace (2-2): [Pro] The final score of this game was 24-14. I heard it was close and Shire didn't have Clyde. Either way Shire is rollin.

Hit Squad (3-1) vs Spartans (0-4): [Pro] Not much to report...32-0 Hit Squad. Spartans, I want you guys to stay in the league... so keep your heads up. But it may be time to regroup.

Bayside Tigers (1-3) vs Warriors (1-2) [Semi-Pro] Score of this game was 31-22. Warriors won. Maybe Zack can tell us what happened....and maybe Zack can get us some pics of Kelly in the locker room?

12:15pm:

TTB (3-1) vs Hitmen (3-1): [Pro] Somebody came into this game with a chip on his shoulder (Shawn)...and TTB played like it. This game was over before halftime. It's hard to say what happened here. I want to give TTB their props (Shawn did tell me that they have the BEST PLAYER in the LEAGUE in #7) but Hitmen's defense was atrocious. TTB's QB had all day to throw the ball to WIDE open players (#7 for at least 2 td's). Final Score: 59-21 (TTB) Here's what I will say... TTB has a great stingy defense and a fast offense. TTB still has to play Shire but they have the right things in motion to contend for the championship. With that being said. Whoever wins the Pro division better take their ass to All-Pro because most of you talk way too much trash without playing some of the best teams. (Original Projection: Hitmen -2)

Franchise (1-1) vs Mayhem (1-1): I got to catch the end of this game and it got close in a hurry. Mayhem was up 20 at one point in this game but Franchise was able to find a grove without their QB and tied it with about 5 minutes to go. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't stop Mayhem. Mayhem scored late but gave Franchise a little under 2 with the ball....and they were able to score with a minute to go. It all came down to the conversion and they weren't able to convert. Mayhem won 27-26. (Original Adj. Projection: Mayhem -10)

Crabcakes (4-0) vs I Hate Brion (0-4): [Semi-Pro] No score reported

All Express (0-3) vs CCC (1-2): All Express was able to get two in a row today to climb to 2-3 for the season knocking off CCC 25-20. 

Well there you go guys. Some Monday morning reading for you. A new Mac Poll will be out on Monday afternoon.

MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - Week 5

Okay Travis, let's get this knocked out so you can get yourself ready for a double header tomorrow. If you want to see a recap of last week you can click here. Let's just jump right into the games for this weekend. There are some good ones. 

8:30am 

Jacked Up (1-1) vs Fuzion (1-3): Jacked Up is back to their 2 games a day - 2 weeks off routine. They get to start with a an unusual 1-win team in Fuzion. Fuzion has had a tough time winning and I have yet to see JU play. I guess I will say... (Jacked Up -2) Considering they beat Scores 28-12 and Fuzion survived Scores 32-30.

LBH2 (3-1) vs Victors (4-0): This is an interesting one. LBH2 was known for getting after the Victors. But these aren't the same Victors. The Victors have won some great games but LBH2 has only lost to the Untouchables. Even with LBH2's 3-1 record I am saying...P.S. Travis thinks he might score 4 td's on Saturday, that's #9 for LBH2... (Victors -10)

9:45am

Franchise (2-1) vs Untouchables (4-0): This should be a great game! Proc has a cannon for an arm and Franchise has some players that can get after it on both sides of the ball. Untouchables, on the other hand, have run through our league twice to be crowned champs and you can't underestimate them. This is easily the game of the day. (Franchise -1) (Adj. spread as we get closer...Untouchables -6)

Circus Show (3-1) vs Balls Deep (2-1): Here's your Semi-pro love... Balls deep has a strong-armed QB and as long as he can put the ball on point I think Balls Deep might humble the Show. In fairness to the Show, I have not seen them play. So...(Balls Deep -4)

11:00am

Jacked Up (1-1) vs Victors (4-0): This will be the second game for both of these teams on a hot day. I have no idea what to say here so I will say.... (Victors -4) based on the fact that they have won 3 tough games and JU has been off for two weeks. 

12:15pm

TTB (3-1) vs Hitmen (3-1): And here is your Pro love... This is the best game in this division this weekend. Both team's only loss comes by way of the Hit Squad. So they're playing for 3rd place, considering no one has beat Shire. I like this match up though and think that the Hitmen can keep their streak going...but it will be tough. (Hitmen -2)

Franchise (2-1) vs Mayhem (1-1): This will also be Franchise's second game on a hot day and Mayhem should have the leverage in regards to being cool. Mayhem lost a tough one last week to Untouchables but hadn't played in two weeks prior to that. The key in this game will be who gets stops on Defense. I am going to give Mayhem some love here... (Mayhem -2.5) (Adj. Spread as we get closer...Mayhem -10)

To add a little gas to the fire... Here's my AP poll going into this weekend for All Pro and Pro:

ALL PRO MAC POLL:

1. Victors (4-0)

2. Untouchables (4-0)

3. LBH2 (3-1)

4. Franchise (2-1)

5. Mayhem (1-1)

6. Jacked Up (1-1)

7. CCC (1-2)

8. Fuzion (1-3)

9. All Express (0-3)

10. Scores (0-5)

PRO MAC POLL:

1. Shire (4-0)

2. Hit Squad (3-1)

3. Hitmen (3-1)

4. TTB (3-1)

5. Menace (2-2)

6. Bulldawgs (1-3)

7. Go 4 Broke (0-4)

Alright fellas, it's a wrap. I will be out at the fields this weekend. Let's try and keep the scraps to a minimum...wait, NO FIGHTS! You are grown ass men. Supposed to be anyway. Leave it out on the field. Good Luck to everyone. 

One More Thing... You guys have seen me plug Jerseys on here before and if you're interested in looking as good as All Madden, Able Danger, Victors, Fuzion, Hit Squad, Shire, Spartans, Jacked Up or Go 4 Broke.. I can help you out. And if Flag football jerseys aren't your thing...yet. But you want something custom (Check out the Victors new threads this weekend) I can also help you out with moisture wicking shirts...Just hit me up.

MDSSC Summer Flag Football - Week 4 Wrap-Up

Alright, so just a quick post to wrap-up the rain soaked weekend that was flag football in Hunt Valley. I guess Mike beat me to it as the website is updated. First off, let me say that there must have been something in the rain because some unnamed guys got their panties in a bunch this last weekend. One guy was even bit on the tit! What the hell men? This is Flag Football. There is no reason to get all macho out there and try to fight someone. We are all supposed to be grown men. Act that way on the field. If someone cheap shots you, hopefully the refs will see it...if not, don't try to fight them. If you're not injured just get up and walk away. Alright, now that that's out of the way lets get to some football. 

Hitmen covered the spread (-8) in a 32-19 victory over Menace. LBH2, however, was not able to cover (-10). They did win though...they beat a 7 man Madden/Express team 26-20. This is an interesting score and Kosty commented on the last post stating to look out for them. So we will see what they have in store for us. The Victors vs Franchise game lived up to the hype. The rain was pouring and the competition was great. The final two minutes were pretty exciting. I'll paint the picture here: 

The Victors were up 32-24 with a little less than 2 minutes to go. They had the ball on their own 10. All they had to do was get a first down and the game's pretty much over. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Franchise clamped down and was able to force the Victors into a 4th and long. Victors did the smart thing and punted the ball...however, it was a line drive straight at the Franchise returner, he got it past mid-field and the play ended with about 55 seconds left. Franchise couldn't move the ball and got into a 4th and long goal. Proc threw it to the goal line and pass interference was called. This was not a bad call from the goal line ref...however, there was claim that the ball was tipped by the rusher. The line of scrimmage ref had to make the call. He said that it didn't matter (in my opinion WRONG... if the ball is tipped there is no PI. PERIOD)... either way 1st and goal from the 1. Franchise scores with about 15 seconds left. 32-30... blitz is open and the Victors make the stop. Great game by both teams! 

Other scores: 

ALL-PRO

Untouchables beat Mayhem 21-7 covering their 3pt spread.

Fuzion was able to outlast a creative Scores team 32-30. (Mike, I may have forgot to add the last second TD on the scorecard). By the way, Scores, awesome use of the pistol formation!

Victors beat CCC earlier in the day 26-14. CCC had just too many turnovers but were right there with the Victors. 

PRO

Shire remained undefeated after surviving a late surge by the guys with all heart G4B. (18-12)

Hit Squad handled the Bulldawgs 32-13

TTB crushed the Spartans 46-14...

SEMI-PRO

Pre-K and the Circus Show limited just one TD to the Warriors winning 24-6

Balls Deep had 2 too many turnovers and let one slip away to the Crabcakes losing 18-19

and Bayside Tigers ended the day by beating I Hate Brion 32-6. 

MDSSC Summer Flag Football - Week 4

I know I said Friday but my week as caught up to me... so unfortunately here are just some quick hits. 

Games of the Week: 

8:30AM: Menace vs Hitmen - I dunno why I am doing this... Hitmen -8

9:45AM: LBH2 vs MaddenExpress - M.E. has to win one of these...right? LBH2 -10

11:00AM: Victors vs Franchise - It's like the Colts vs Ravens in the playoffs for you Baltimore folk. If TJ is hurt, which I heard he was, then this could be pretty close. Victors -2

12:15PM: Untouchables vs Mayhem - Mayhem is missing out on their Allstar (DL)... I say Untouchables -3

Sorry about the lack of posts gentlemen, but I did enjoy the banter back and forth on the comment section. Can you guys man up (exception to AD #44 and Roger) and put your names down? 

I will be out there all day tomorrow.Good luck to everyone. Oh, and FYI, the website is updated...
