Victors have something to say about my prediction....

                         

I was provided this interesting video after my blog post the other night. The Victors have a different opinion as to what is going to happen this weekend and after a brief interview with the Victors QB, I'm on the verge of changing my pick. Will it be a rematch of Victors & Untouchables yet again this season? Some team out there needs to step up and quit letting these two march through the league season after season. Is it going to be #18 and TTB?

Good Luck in Baltimore - MDSSC Flag Football

I'm sure that it comes to no surprise that I am writing this blog. I have been in Cincy for a little over a month now and as much as it pains me to say it... I haven't looked back. Trust me. I miss this league, painfully. I haven't had the opportunity to play football at all since I got here and stopping by the site today got me thinking. You guys deserve a closing, a farewell... something. So here it is...My final predictions:

Keep in mind...I haven't talked to anyone this season and know nothing about how you got to your records. For that reason, some of you may not give a shit...well, this is my last post, so move on fu*ker. :)

PLAYOFFS 5/14 - Round 1

#1 Pain vs #8 Prestige - Prestige came back after last season? Pain -14

#4 Victors vs #5 TTB - Prop's to TTB for sticking with All-Pro after a season off. Never count out the Victors but I think they play to hang out more than win now, not that there is anything wrong with that... TTB -2

#3 Money vs #6 Balls Deep - Looks like Money played strong this season. Balls Deep went from Cinderella two seasons ago to the Carolina Panthers last season. Can they redeem themselves? Maybe... Money -1

 

#2 Untouchables vs #7 Danger - Guess Danger didn't replace Hank yet? Untouchables -13

Round 2 (based on my predictions above)

#1 Pain vs #5 TTB - Two smart teams here. They both know how to slow the game down as well as hit big plays.  Gut feeling... TTB -2

#2 Untouchables vs #3 Money - Let's be real here... Untouchables -4

Championship

#2 Untouchables vs #5 TTB - What the hell? Untouchables always reaches the finals, even in a hypothetical mock bracket... Doesn't matter. For some reason I think TTB wins it based on this scenario. I'm probably way off and Money takes all but we'll see.

I wanted to break down Pro too... but I'm not going game-by-game.

Favorites - WTF, HitSquad, Beltway & Karma...Underdog - B'Moore

Based on the bracket... on 5/21 it will be HitSquad vs Beltway and Karma vs B'Moore

This is HitSquad's time to shine. They should be in AllPro but I will let DJ slide this once more. Beltway isn't the same anymore. I don't know what it is but they don't have that extra umph. However, I think they will play HitSquad tight. The reason I believe Karma will beat WTF is that Karma is in their third consecutive season together and WTF plays sporadically...regardless of the talent they have, I think Karma will win... lastly, B'moore has an easy route based on the bracket. The first play Menace, who has a tool for a QB that can't throw, and then they play X-Factor. X-Factor is -49 in pts scored vs given up and are ranked 2nd? Unless Mike screwed up, which is very possible, I find B'Moore playing on 5/21.

Based on that, I would say HitSquad vs Karma in the championship with HitSquad winning it all unless Brady found his old ways. HitSquad doesn't need to be in Pro anymore and after this season they shouldn't be. Now, I know I have one fan who thinks I love HitSqaud and blah blah blah... but other than some raw athletes speckled throughout other teams, the HitSquad have the most complete team in the league. Hell, they've had the same 20 guys playing together for at least 3years and 9 seasons.

That's all folks... I'm done with the blog. Just can't do it from Cincy. I know I will likely never talk to some of you again and hopefully I will stay in touch on a personal level with those of you I know well. Good luck out there on the good ol' Oregon Ridge. It was a fantastic and fun 8 years with a lot of you. Prop's to Mike Mockoviak for keeping this league up and running and helping us find great times and memories.

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Champs Crowned!

MILLER LITE VICTORS - WINTER 2011 ALL PRO CHAMPS

Well I missed a great weekend of football apparently. The Victors were victorious and Hit Squad got of the schneid to win their first championship behind a great defense and a reliable Brady. Rusty Trombone finished their season of flawlessly without a loss. I stole the Victors picture from facebook and I did the same with the Hit Squad.. What is up with that hair #27?

HIT SQUAD - WINTER 2011 PRO CHAMPS 

Stole this one from Mike... RUSTY TROMBONE - WINTER 2011 SEMI PRO CHAMPS

What a great season guys! I am sad that I won't get to be here to run around the good ole' Oregon Ridge fields. Maybe I will be back one day for good. For now it will just be visits and living vicariously through some of your texts, emails, facebook messages, tweets one day I'm sure... maybe even get back into paging people. Either way, thanks for the great memories MDSSC. I will miss you. I already found a weird coed league that has an offensive line, maybe I will start Mac's Sports League out there.

Until next time...

MAC

P.S. Didn't mean to get all nostalgic there... I meant to say: I'm taking my talents to Cincinnati but the Bengals suck!

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Championship Weekend!

Well last weekend was almost predictable...A few teams let me down, including my own (me being one of the main culprits). The surprises you ask? Well the Victors droppin Miller Light like it's Gatorade and beating RDP after RDP beat All Madden. Speaking of surprises...All Madden lost to my sleeper only for my sleeper to lose to the Victors. In other leagues... Hit Squad made it to the 'ship!! Now, can Brady be reigned in on Friday night before the big game? Habitual knocked off the Bombers but not sure if that is news... the Bombers tend to screw something up come playoff time. in Semi-Pro it's #1 vs #2 so no surprise there.


BREAKING NEWS: Most of you know but I took a job that is taking me to Ohio. Therefore I won't be around this next season or likely any after. I am willing to do a couple things. I will attempt to keep this thing going as long as the coaches agree to email/text me their scores and a little write-up for their game. Or I can allow someone to be a guest poster. Either way, I would like to try remain involved. If It's up to you league. On to my predictions:


8:30am
Karma vs Rusty Trombone: These two went at it earlier this season. I will let you figure out who won that game. Here's my take... Rusty is big. They have some size to them. Karma is organized. They have maybe 25 dudes on their roster, or so it seems. Karma is quick and Rusty is efficient. This game is going to come down to who has the ball last, in my opinion. Motivation Jason? (Rusty -4)


9:45am
Hit Squad vs Habitual Linesteppers: This should be another good game. Hit Squad held on to beat Hitmen while Habitual steamrolled the Bombers. Hit Squad definitely has the talent to finally win this thing and move up to All Pro. Habitual isn't a slouch though and this game should come down to defense and turnovers. If Brady takes what he is given they might win this one easy but I wouldn't sleep on Zack and Fast Eddie... (Hit Squad -2)

11:00am
Victors vs Untouchables: This might be one of the better weekends in MDSSC in a while. You have the Untouchables yet again undefeated and rolling into the championship. You also have a crew in the Victors that has tossed care and concern out the window and are out there just ballin and having fun. That could prove to be a dangerous combination. I'm going to go out on a limb (a sturdy one) and pick the Victors to win it all and put a legitimate championship on the books (You're welcome Dave L.). Untouchables always seem to be an underdog even though they are the best team on the field. They may even prove me wrong this time. Nick has proven to be one of the best leaders in our league but I will just go with my gut and pick the Miller Light Victors and their QB seen here: (Victors -1)

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - PLAYOFFS

Guys, 


This is going to be quick. You guys have waited long enough this week and I just haven't had the time. 


All Games are a must see.... it's the playoffs right? Well there will be some lopsided games possibly so I will just go with my favorite Saturday games. 


8:30am
#2 Hitmen vs #3 TD's: I heard that TD's has a Megatron type receiver that could stick it to the Hitmen. It's time for Roger to step up though. I heard he may have taken on a Cheeseburger challenge today. Hope that doesn't render him ineffective. (Hitmen -3)


9:45am
If the favorites win at 8:30 it sets up two great games: Beltway vs Habitual and Hit Squad vs Hitmen. Both are must see and (even) as far as I'm concerned. 


11:00am
#2 Fear Boners vs #3 Menace: Menace has been up and down this season as well as the Fear Boners and they didn't get to play last week. However, I like them coming off a bye. (Fear Boners -2)


#2 Karma vs #3NR: This game has all the makings of a blowout. Karma's captain even told me he predicts 30-6  and he could be right considering they beat us 24-6 last time. It's our only chance to stop a power team. (no spread)


1:30pm
#2 All Madden vs #3 Run Dem Pockets: This game should be a second round game..these two teams are pretty even but if All Madden has all their guys show up I feel like they should win. (All Madden -1)


2:45pm
If all the favorites win I like Untouchables vs Mayhem and Victors vs All Madden. Both games will be a nice way to end the weekend...for two teams at least. 


Good Luck this weekend guys.

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 8

Well, I wrote the post for week 8 once before but things have changed. Some teams are out of it and have resulted in forfeits others are fighting for a playoff spot. So here are a few key games:


All Pro: 


The only real game that has some impact is Untouchables vs Danger at 2:45pm.The other games are either forfeited or kind of a wash considering the teams that are not in the playoffs. The only thing that can happen in some of the other games is a change in their playoff seed. Only thing is...I don't know how Mike is seeding the playoffs. So.... 


Untouchables (-6) over Danger. 


Pro: 


8:30am
Closet Flags got rocked by Hitmen last week. Can they bounce back to hand Beltway a second loss? I don't think so. 


Beltway (-4) vs Closet Flags 


As seen here, the one game that has playoff implications is the Warriors vs X-Factor game at 9:45am. Having not seen either team play this season I will go with my gut and say: 


X-Factor (-8) vs Warriors
Semi Pro: 


I am looking forward to my game versus the #1 team Rusty Trombone. They're 7-0 and my squad is hungry for a win. Hopefully we can put a solid effort out there and bring Rusty back down to earth before the playoffs... :) 


The game with some playoff implications... Team B vs Karma at 1:30pm... If Karma lets this one slip Team B will have a fighting chance to sneak into the playoffs. I doubt Karma will let that happen though. They like scoring too much. 


Karma (-14) vs Team B

Great season fellas... The playoffs start next week. Good luck out there to the teams fighting to get in.  For more Playoff information (hopefully) click here (MDSSC) to see if Mike added the playoff brackets.

MDSSC *Games Canceled Tomorrow*

Guys the games are canceled tomorrow 2/5/11 due to ice and field conditions.

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 8?

Okay, so this is all screwed up. Thanks Mother Nature. I am going out of town on business so not only am I missing my game (which sucks) but I don't have time to do too much on this (which sucks for you.)


First off NFL: 
Vegas has the Packers at -2.5 and in all seven of the Steelers Super Bowls (6 wins and 1 loss) Vegas has been right with the winner. (Not sure about the spread, however.) With that being said, #42, I am going to do you a favor and go with the Packers 24 Steelers 21. 


Moving on... 


No write-ups, just predictions. 


8:30am
Beltway (-4) vs Closet Flags - Fresh off a loss, can Beltway rebound against the hot Closet Flags crew?


9:45am
All Madden vs Scores (-2) - Epic QB Battle?


11:00am (FOR MY GUYS)
NR vs Rusty Trombone (EVEN)


12:15pm
RDP (-10) vs Fuzion - Motivation enough for your squad Jay?


1:30pm 
go get lunch... 


2:45pm
Danger vs Untouchables (-4) - Should be a great game and some decent shit talking. Watch it if you're not frozen... 


Sorry for the short post guys... If Mike decides to cancel/postpone the games due to the possible Snow/ICE mix forecast I might not be able update the blog. I will be on the west coast 3 hours behind. I will do my best but if there is a question make sure you stop at MDSSC first. 


Good Luck out there everyone!

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 5 Wrap Up and Week 6

UPDATE:

(1/28/2011)There will not be games this Saturday due to the heavy snowfalls on Wednesday/Thursday. Week 7 games (1/29)will be played after the scheduled Week 8 games. So Week 8 will still be played on 2/5 as scheduled and then Week 7 will be played on 2/12 with the playoffs being held on 2/19 and 2/26.

**Check out the new Schedule Tab** Trying some things out. 


NFL: 

Okay #42... not going to give you the satisfaction this week. You're going to have to suffer. I went .500 again with the Steelers surviving and the Pack letting a third stringer get his hopes up. 

Last Week's  Predictions:

Packers 24 Bears 13 (Close: 21-14)  
Jets 13 Steelers 10 (Fail: 19-24)

Moving on... last week was colder than cold. Couldn't feel my hands. 

Games of the Week: 

Karma vs K: Karma didn't let that game be a one point game. They Crushed K to take the #2 seed in Semi Pro. (Covered)

All Madden vs Pain: I was hoping that Pain's QB would show up this week and they would get back on track... nope and All Madden made them pay. (Covered)

Hitmen vs Habitual: This was at least a good game for my games of the week. Came down to the wire with a 24-21 win for Hitmen to claim the #1 seed in Pro. (Covered)

Mayhem vs RDP: This also turned out to be a great game. I heard that LBH2's QB who has been a receiver on this new team all season had to step in to play QB this week because of a broken finger on the regular QB's throwing hand. Based on what I heard RDP made a comeback to win this one and stole Mayhem's heart. Don't sleep on Mayhem if they can get into the playoffs though.  (Didn't Cover)

If Games are played this week, which I think they will be, here are my Games of the Week: 

11:00am

Rusty (5-0) vs K (4-1): K is coming off a tough loss to Karma and Rusty is on a roll. Is this where Rusty falls or K continues to slide? Either way, I need to watch this game because we play Rusty to close out the season. (Rusty -2)

Closet Flags (4-2) vs Hitmen (5-1): Also at 11 is this game that has all the makings of a great game or an unforeseen blowout. Closet Flags has stringed some nice wins together. They have put up points but those wins haven't been against teams like Beltway, HitSquad or Habitual. Now this will be a true test for Adam and his Motley Crue...same goes for Roger and Hitmen's ability to handle the pressure of being #1. (Hitmen -4)

12:15pm

Danger (3-3) vs All Madden (5-1): For a guy that left to go try this QB thing out this season the Danger v All Madden game still stings for me. I can only imagine what it feels like for the squad going into this game. Danger has been up and down this season with inconsistent appearances by their QB and All Madden has been performing at the top as usual. This has the makings of the same type of game that Hitmen vs Closet Flags does. I see All Madden winning out though. (All Madden -5)

2:45pm

Habitual (4-2) vs Hit Squad (4-2): This game will settle the 3-4 spot in my poll. My thoughts on Hit Squad are that they are the same team they always have been. They are stuck with whatever Brady puts out on the field. Their defense holds up most of the time but I think that they get dejected if there are too many turnovers. Long story short. This game will come down to him and if Habitual has anything to say about it Brady is going to give them the game. This season is the time for Brady to show us what he's got. (Habitual -3)

Hope we play this weekend. Bring your shovels to the field. :) Good Night

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 5

It's late and so I am going to do this quickly. First though... It's been a while since I did any self promotion. I am the rep for AGAME and I have outfitted All Madden, Hit Squad, Danger, Beltway, Karma, Victors (when they wear their jerseys), Fuzion and some other squads that aren't playing this season. If your team is ready to step up to some custom jerseys give me a call or shoot me an email... moving on.


NFL: 
I was 2-2 last week so lets see if I can go 2-0. 
Packers 24 Bears 13
Jets 13 Steelers 10

Games of the Week:

9:45am 

Karma (4-1) vs One fore the K (4-0/5-0): Both teams score and both teams defend well. This should be a good one. (Karma -1)

11:00am 

All Madden (4-1) vs Pain (3-2): Pain has lost two in a row and it's time see if they can stick together. All Madden doesn't look like they're having fun out there. They need to let loose and just fling the ball like Rodgers did last week but figure out their defense. (All Madden -6)

12:15pm 

Hitmen (3-1) vs Habitual (3-1): A true test for both teams fighting for that 2 or 3 seed. Another great game. (even) 

1:30pm 

Mayhem (2-2) vs RDP (3-2): Mayhem had the week off thanks to the Victors. The field should be nice and muddy by this time. Which could slow the game down and that is the way Scott likes it. RDP is throwing points up there like crazy though. (RDP -4)


That's it fellas. Good luck out there.

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Blog coming soon...

In the meantime...Brandon (DANGER) I stumbled on this and wondered if you were even around in the 80's. Is this you?

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 4-5

For a little fun:

Baltimore 17 Pittsburgh 14

New England 28 New York 14

Chicago 35 Seattle 7

Green Bay 27 Atlanta 21

Thanks for your patience this week gentlemen. I was out of commission last week so I missed all of the action. And now this week, I don't know if some of the games are going to happen with the big game coming up on Saturday. Here is what I do know... 

9:45am 

Hitmen vs X-Factor: This will be a test to see which half X-Factor belongs the top or bottom of Pro... Hitmen need a rebound too after that loss and I heard Roger shaved his beard?! (Hitmen -8)

Danger vs Pain: Pain has one loss and Danger has one win....Is Danger trying to pull the whole 2 wins in the regular season then storm to the Championship move again? I don't think so. They need to shape up. (Pain -4)

12:15pm

Warriors vs Closet Flags: Both teams are at .500 which one gets on the winning side? (CF -4)

All Madden vs Untouchables: It doesn't matter who is missing this game should be a decent one. (Untouchables -2)

Some Semi Pro love... 

11:00am 

Karma vs Menace: Should be physical... (Karma -7)

1:30pm

NR vs  Fear Boners: some love for my team now at least 7 of you better show up!!!! No spreads on my games... 

Good Night and Good luck...

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 3 Wrap Up

As promised... the blog has been updated. Check out the new Poll Pages above. Now, you can easily view your divisions polls without having to read all my bull shit. If you're still interested in that then keep reading. 

All Pro: 

The typical teams are separating themselves from the pack but this entire division is pretty even accept for a team or two. The only thing is, that all three undefeated teams are in the same division (Untouchables, All Madden and Pain). I don't know how the playoffs are lined up but I wonder if that could get sticky come March Madness time. Just some notes and then I'm done for the holidays. 

All Madden - Very Strong Offense they added three weapons to their offense that has only made them better. Defense is still very suspect. I saw back to back 80 yard touch downs last week. They need to get back to basics on D. 

Untouchables - Solid Offense and Solid Defense... Untouchables are kind of like the San Diego Chargers in respect to rank (not W's and L's). They always play very well on both sides of the ball and that has lead them to championships. 

Pain - has been hit or miss over the last few seasons but I think after playing together and keeping the same guys around they are hitting their stride. Joe (I think that is his name) is a solid QB with quick feet when he needs to make a play. 

RDP - After only a blemish on their record losing to the undefeated All Madden squad they dropped 61 on Balls Deep. I haven't seen 61 scored in a long time in All Pro...a long time. 

Parting shots: Victors end the first half of the season nicely...Money and Danger trying to iron some things out... Fuzion trying to get ahead so they don't run out of time...Scores has a nice little secret at QB we should find out what kind of team they have after the break. Balls Deep...I don't know man but I hope they pull it together I like that squad. I don't know anything about Prestige Worldwide... 

Pro: 

Same as above.. You have Beltway, Hitmen and HitSquad.. I'm thinking maybe Habitual and maybe Shire or even a deep sleeper Closet Flags can give them headaches. For the most part though the top 3 are my top 3 for now. Just to show him a little love, a player or two from Hitmen said they have the team to beat. I guess once we see that schedule for the rest of the season we will see how they match up with Beltway. They beat HitSquad by just a point but a win is a win. 

Semi-Pro: 

Fear Boners, One for the K, Rusty Trombone and Karma have separated themselves early on. However, I feel like this division is pretty even in respect to how the teams are built. I'm looking forward to the second half but these four have jumped out in front. 

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy Winter Solstice? Oh and Happy New Year!!

BLOG WILL BE UPDATED BEFORE THURSDAY

Thanks!

MDSSC: Week 3 - Games of the Week

Okay guys, as promised, my games of the week. 

8:30am 

Shire (1-1) vs Habitual Linesteppers (0-1) 

I like this game because instead of Shire being 0-2 like the website says, they are 1-1 after putting up 44 on Pink last week. Habitual did win a championship not to long ago (Summer I believe) and I'm not sure they ever matched up with the team formally known as Shire, then The Movement and now Shire. Not knowing the new Shire team or Habitual I am going to say that Shire tosses the rock to Peazy in this one for a narrow win. (Shire -2)

9:45am 

RDP (1-1) vs Balls Deep (1-1)

Both teams are coming off tough losses and should make for a great game. RDP as mentioned last night has a strong armed QB and has moved the Side Arm Speedster to rusher and receiver. Balls Deep can counter with their quick rusher and strong armed QB. The key to this game is who commits the first turnover. I have no idea who to pick in this game. Coin flipped.. it was Tails (RDP -1)

11:00am

Victors (0-2) vs Danger (1-1)

This series is turning into a good one... Danger got the best of the Victors last season and has drawn them this week after an interesting 2 weeks for Big Blue. Can the Victors get of the schneid this week? Or is this like when the Cowboys won their 5th ring in 97 and started losing every year after that? Danger went 2-5 last season and then snuck into the playoffs to take down the house.. I see them stunning the Victors and continuing their high. (Danger -3)

Other games of note... All Madden vs Fuzion at 2:45, Karma vs Rustyat 1:30, HitSquad vs xFactor at 12:15 and maybe Pain vs Mayhem bright and early at 8:30. 

Bundle up tomorrow, the high is 34...I can only imagine what it will feel like at 8 in the morning.Good luck out there guys. 

DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL ME AS A REP/COACH FOR YOUR TEAM IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. I WANT TO PUT TOGETHER A TEXT LIST AND GET EVERYTHING RUNNING A LITTLE SMOOTHER. 

WM

MDSSC: Winter Flag Football - Week 3 (MAC POLL)

First things first, if I don't have it already, I need a coach or a rep from each team to email me their cell#. I am putting together a text list so that I can get the scores from games on Sunday or Monday so that I can throw the poll up by Tuesday. I also want to put together a Coaches Poll... mcginnis32 at yahoo dot com

Moving on...I didn't realize this thing was read so much and for that I'm sorry for the lack of a post last week. First the AP Poll... Run Dem Pockets wanted to be considered #1 prior to last week because they beat Danger by a point... in the words of Lee Corso... "Not so fast my friend!!" Here is my MAC Poll:

All Pro:

1. All Madden (2-0)

2. Untouchables (2-0)

3. Pain (2-0)

4. Run Dem Pockets (1-1)

5. Danger (1-1)

6. Mayhem (1-1)

7. Money (1-1)

8. Fuzion (1-1)

9. Balls Deep (1-1)

10. Victors (0-2)

11. Scores (0-2)

12. Prestige Worldwide/Express? (0-2)

Notes: All Madden better tighten up their D if they want to stay on top...Haven't seen Untouchables play yet but I am sure they're still bitter about their losing effort against Danger in the fall...Pain has two solid wins, I might have to catch one of their games...RDP talked a day too early, but I hear they have the QB from Resurrection (a team from a couple seasons ago) and Mr. Side Arm speedster is rushing  on D and receiving, look out!...Danger only lost to RDP by a point so they seem pretty even...lastly, what the hell is going on with the Victors? I think this might be the first season...ever that they started 0-2. They have the athletes though, don't sleep on them. 

Pro: 

1. Beltway Bombers (2-0) 

2. X-Factor (2-0)

3. Hitmen (1-0)

4. HitSquad (1-1)

5. Shire (1-1)
6. Crabcakes (1-1)

7. Pink (1-1)
8. G6ers (1-1)

9. Show me your TD's (1-1)

10. Habitual Linesteppers (0-1)

11. Closet Flags (0-2)

12. Warriors (0-2)

*Correction... I was informed that Shire beat Pink 44-33. This screwed up my Friday so I did the best I can with Rankings. Hopefully with those of you that have emailed me (Thanks!) I will get the correct data by Sunday/Monday.

Notes:X-Factor has come on scoring the second most points in the Pro division... Beltway got #12 back and if their Steeler QB finds him along with some of their other athletes, I think they might be the favorite...HitSquad has scored the most points in the division so far but lost a narrow one to their rival Hitmen (27-26)...don't sleep on Hitmen or Closet Flags...aside from that, I don't know the other teams other than Shire who lost a lot of guys and are rebuilding.

Semi-Pro:

1. Karma (2-0)

2. Fear Boners (2-0)

3. One fore the "K" (2-0)

4. Rusty Trombone (1-0)

5. Menace (1-1)

6. Team 'B' (1-1)

7. NR (0-2)

8. Punt Liquors (0-2)

9. A.I.D.S (0-2)

10. Jeremy (0-1)*

Notes: Karma dropped down to Semi to get their bearings and it looks like it is working out. They have good guys on their squad and all they need is chemistry...No idea who Fear Boners is but it's one of the greater names in the league...lastly, these rankings are purely based on record. I have no idea how to judge my own division. My squad is new but we are getting it together and I know that after facing Team B and "K" that teams are close to even. Other than that, it looks like Jeremy's game was a forfeit based on the score. So let's hope they start to show up so we all don't lose a game this season. 

Okay fellas, that's it for this weeks MAC poll. I will throw up the games of the week tomorrow afternoon.

MDSSC: WINTER FLAG FOOTBALL BEGINS!!!!

Hey Fuckers.... hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Time to work off that turkey and play some football. So this is going to be a brief post because I'm lazy and it takes me a little while to get back into the swing of things. So here are my Three Games of the Week. 

8:30am 

Balls Deep vs The Express: Why is this a game of the week Will? Well, I will tell you... First, it is because  Balls Deep is playing some great football. In the fall they took down the mighty Victors in the first round but lost to TTB by a slim margin in the Semi's. Either way, they were in Semi-Pro the season before and have stepped up their game. Second, I hear that there are a few Express guys playing with Balls Deep and I think it is interesting for a team to kind-of split only to face each other in their first game. I say my boy John takes his squad to 1-0... (Balls Deep -4)

9:45am

Untouchables vs Victors: Wow, well let's get this one out of the way early, huh Commish? This should be a great game. Both teams lost in the first round of the Fall playoffs which is uncharacteristic. I see these two teams coming out to prove something... if Nueve (shout out!)  is there for the Victors I like their chances...Plus Bill has to gear up for Sunday's playoffs in the 9-man league. (Victors -1)

11:00am

Mayhem vs All Madden: An age old rivalry... Mayhem is like old Cowboys*... They won a lot of Championships back in the day but teams have caught up with them. All Madden is one of those teams. Granted, they don't have the services of #32 anymore, but I think they will survive. They have the bash brothers and Favre (no pictures) at QB. I think Mayhem will come out rusty Saturday morning but this game should be good. I will have a different take on Mayhem come week 4 unless they change my mind earlier. (All Madden -6)

*please note, I am a Cowboy fan and even I wouldn't compare Mayhem to this year's Cowboys.

That's it from me this week ladies. Bundle up it's going to be below 40 until lunch tomorrow.

MDSSC Fall Flag Football - New Champs are Crowned!!

I will start this blog off by stating. These guys WON the championship. I can't think of a team that had to overcome what they did to win this thing. They finished the season 2-5! You read that right. Their second win came in the last game of the regular season against Tarheels... and they put them away 41-6. Then they started off with HitSquad in the first round beating them 18-6. This bunch of misfits carried their momentum into the final week games with a chip on their shoulder. They had a fan base and beer chilling in coolers waiting for the end of the day. A focused squad found themselves in a dogfight with the defending Summer Champs, the Untouchables in their first game. I had finished my game early enough to witness the momentum that would carry them to the promised land. With about 4 minutes to go, Danger was down 12 and had the ball. They were able to score at the 2 minute mark, failing on the conversion to make it a 6 point game. All Untouchables had to do was get a first down and the game was over. First play, short pass to the flats. Time out, Danger. Second play, Sack!, Time out Danger. and if I remember correctly, they picked off a desperation pass by Nick. That or a punt. Either way, Danger had the ball with about a minute left with only about 30 yards to go. Four plays later, they are in the endzone. Now, all they have to do is convert this 1pt conversion and it's over. Surprisingly, it was a pretty lax effort by them failing on the conversion and now on to OT. In the end, Danger scored and Untouchables failed to capitalize. Next up for Danger...? Defending Spring Champs, All Madden. This game was similar in the fact that it was a dog fight. Back and forth we went with them before ultimately coming down to the end. With under 30 seconds left, All Madden was down by 7 and was able to get the ball in the end zone. The decision made next decided the outcome. Blitz was open and the decision was to go for two for the win. Jump Ball tossed to the left and knocked down by the Danger Safety. Game over. And finally, TTB was the team that had to face these guys in the end. Danger was rolling and this point and crushed TTB. I don't know what the final score was but I saw Danger pick off TTB's QB at least 4-5 times. I imagine I will know the final score soon. So there you have it...another season is in the books and a new Champ is crowned. Congratulations to Danger and their fans.

See everyone out there on 12/4 for the winter season. Looking forward to it fellas.

MDSSC - Fall Flag Football - Round 2 (Championship Saturday)

Not sure about the spreads, but I was 7 for 8 last weekend. I won't recap too much. But here is what I will say. "Come On Hit Squad!", Balls Deep can play, Still have no idea about BullDawgs and this weekend should be awesome! 

Okay, So here is how it is laid out: 

8:30am Games: 

#1 Untouchables vs #7 Danger: 

The Untouchables have given up more points than usual this season... but it doesn't discount the fact that they are undefeated yet again. Danger will have to play balls out to take down these guys. I'm not sure Danger has the ability. They have some playmakers and their QB has a gun... but is it enough? (Untouchables -7)

#4 All Madden vs #5 Pain:

I don't like posting on my own games but since it is the playoffs I will give Pain and the guys on my team some reading. Pain is an up and down team. But there is no overlooking Joe (QB) and his quick feet. When he gets in trouble he can make things happen on the ground. All Madden suffered two tough losses the last time they were out, and with a full squad this weekend, we have only one goal in mind and that is playing one game at a time. No spread for this one... 

#3 TTB vs (Unranked) BullDawgs: 

I can't sleep on TTB anymore. Even without seeing the BullDawgs play this season, I can't pick against a Shawnp lead team. (TTB -6)

#2 Victors vs (Unranked) Balls Deep: I wish I could watch this game. This is an interesting match-up. Balls Deep has All-Pro caliber guys and, in my opinion, can stay in any game. With that being said, I know the Victors won't take them lightly. After playing the Victors last week, I know that they have put together a tough squad. It's all a matter of sticking together. (Victors -2)

Based on what I have above that would make the following the 10:00am games: 

#1 Untouchables vs #4 All Madden

#2 Victors vs #3 TTB

I won't pretend to even know what would happen in this scenario. So, to remain unbiased, I will leave it to you to decide. See the poll to the right. Good luck out there everyone. See you Saturday.
