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.

MDSSC - Fall Flag Football - Week 4

First off, sorry for the lack of posts lately. Long story, but after looking at my stats I noticed that there are still some of you loyal readers out there. So what the hell, let's get this thing going again.


So what has happened in the first couple of weeks? Well the Untouchables are undefeated, TTB still wants love, and Able Danger stepped up their game with a big win over the Victors. So with that being said, let's just start over and jump into this weeks games.

8:30am

Danger (1-2) vs Untouchables (2-0): Danger gets another tough test against the Summer defending champs. This should be an interesting game. Danger all high on their win over the Victors and now the Untouchables coming to work like they do every week. I say Untouchables stays undefeated. (Untouchables -6)


Tarheels (0-3) vs Victors (2-1): Tarheels are a hybrid of a few teams and I think I saw Jacked Up's QB out there last week. However, the Victors are going to be looking for someone to take their aggression out on this weekend in MudBowl 2010. (Victors -9)

Hitmen (1-1) vs X-Factor (1-2): Hitmen has a consistent squad these days and X-Factor is basically the Warriors. Sticking with Roger "I Love Me Some Me" and the Hitmen. (Hitmen -12)

9:45am

Express (1-2) vs All Madden (2-1): All Madden had a tough loss last week against our rival Untouchables team. I believe that Express gave TTB a win too. This should be a decent game. In All Madden's championship run in the Spring, Express gave us a loss. Express has some play makers and we have a few ourselves. I don't like picking my games so I will leave it to you to decide...

Hit Squad (1-2) vs Regulators (1-2): If I remember right, Hit Squad got off the schneid last week. Now they have an opportunity to make it a streak. I believe they will this week. (Hit Squad -4)


Bulldawgs (3-0)  vs Karma (0-3): Have no idea. Bulldawgs started off with some big wins early this season. Haven't seen them play. I have yet to catch a Karma game... Based on Bulldawgs first couple: (Bulldawgs -6)

11:00am

Untouchables (2-0) vs TTB (2-0): Okay TTB... I have received a few anonymous comments over the last few months about love. You showed that you had the ability to win in Pro and did it this Summer. You have stepped up to All Pro and beat up on Able Danger and Express. Now comes a tougher test. Untouchables is coming off an 8:30 game, so hopefully they have time to clean themselves up and get dry before playing you. I am going out on a limb here and because of TTB's speed and Untouchables usually only bringing 8-9 guys... I am going to call this one (EVEN). That's your love for this week. If you beat Untouchables. I will make sure there is a post up on Sunday. You have my word.


Balls Deep (2-0) vs Closet Flags (2-1): Last week all I saw from Adam was deep balls. Well guess who else likes to show off his arm...Balls Deeps's QB. This should be a good game with Balls Deep winning. (Balls Deep -5)

12:15pm

TTB (2-0) vs Pain (1-2): TTB will have just finished a tough game and have to turn it around to play a Pain team that dropped 45 on the Tarheels. I will say this one is closer than normal due to TTB's double header... (TTB -4)


Here's to hoping we get to play on Saturday. Have a good Friday!

MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - Playoffs Week 1

Well the first week of the playoffs is over. There were some surprising results from this weekend's football games; so let's get right to it. 

ALL PRO: 

8:30am: 

#5W Scores vs #4E Jacked Up: Well Jacked Up's QB informed them on Wednesday that he was going to be at a wedding on Saturday and wouldn't be there this weekend. That seriously screws up plans for them to march through the playoffs. They had a tough time with a new looking crew that Scores brought out but in the end, they held on to win the game with veteran John Money at the helm. However, they didn't cover. 

#4W CCC vs #5E Franchise: I don't know the score of this game but I know that CCC won by 7 or so and controlled the lead throughout the game. Is the the end of Franchise Hollywood already? 

11:00am:

#2W LBH2 vs #3E Fuzion: I didn't get to see this game but I heard it was sloppy. LBH held an 18-6 lead at halftime to relinquish it towards the end. Apparently, it was 25-18 by way of Fuzion when LBH scored late to make it 25-24. They went for the win (2pt) and failed. Fuzion moves on. 

#1E Untouchables vs #4E Jacked Up: JU may have been able to survive against scores without Ryan but they lost Khalid in that game too. This one wasn't pretty. 32-0 I believe. 

#1W Victors vs #4W CCC: I don't know the final score of this one but I do know it had to be one of the longest games ever. It went into double OT before the Victors failed to stop CCC. The #4 seed upsets one of my favorites on day one. 

#3W All Express vs #2E Mayhem: My doubt of All Express must ignited something in them or they just brought some more guys out. Just kidding. Either way I heard they won handily and are looking forward to their game or games next weekend. 

ALL PRO GAMES THIS WEEK: 

9:45am - Untouchables vs Fuzion 

9:45am - All Express vs CCC

PRO: 

This playoff bracket was pretty routine... TTB crushed the Spartans, Hit Sqaud (another team without their QB) crushed Menace, Hitmen won although they had to make a comeback in the final minutes and Shire crushed Go 4 Broke... now that was the first round. 

12:15pm: TTB vs Hit Squad: Hit Squad was the only team that was able to give TTB an L this season and it's unfortunate that they had to play a revengeful TTB squad without a QB. It was no match either. TTB locked it down and won 42-6 or something like that. Brady Quinn must have flown off to Denver to win his spot back from Tuck Tebow. 

12:15pm: Shire vs Hitmen: They had an exciting game two weeks ago and this was almost as exciting. Hitmen clawed back from behind again today as they did two weeks ago. It wasn't enough this time and the air was taken out of their sails on a nice one-handed interception by the one and only MAC. Shire won by 3 after giving up a last second score. 

PRO CHAMPIONSHIP: 

11:00AM - TTB vs Shire (Last week TTB routed Shire last week.. What Shire team will show up for the 'ship?)

I have no idea what happened in Semi-Pro other than Balls Deep routed the Tigers and are in the Championship game at 11:00am on Saturday...

More to come on Thursday or Friday...

MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - PLAYOFFS

Playoffs are here... time to get rolling on my predictions. Mike updated the brackets, so I will go off that and just give my predictions for tomorrow in All Pro and Pro. Semi... you already know my thoughts. 

**Forgot to Post this. I have a Fall team (Closet Flags) is looking for some individuals. They will be in Pro or Semi pro. If you're interested give Adam a call at 410.967.0673. Thanks!**

*DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN THE ALL-PRO POLL ----------->>>

Here we go: 
8:30am: #5W Scores vs #4E Jacked Up: Scores had to forfeit last week. They are win-less this season which, unfortunately, isn't going to change here. Jacked Up wins easy. (Jacked Up -14)

8:30am: #5E Franchise vs #4W CCC: From what I heard CCC waxed Franchise last week. Not sure what to think about this game. Both teams played multiple games last week and it was Franchises third of the day when they ran into CCC. Flipped a coin and Franchise was the lucky winner.. (Franchise -1)


11:00am: #2W LBH2 vs #3 Fuzion: LBH seemed a little out of sorts against Franchise last week. A lot of blame was going around. Fuzion on the other hand played as a team to beat the Victors. Fuzion also beat LBH 30-20 earlier this season... (Fuzion -6.5)


11:00am: #2E Mayhem vs #3W All Express: This should be a great game. Considering Kosty and Nick's remarks, I assume they will have their full squad* there. With that being said, I believe Mayhem should all be accounted for. All Express took it to Untouchables last week but I recently heard that Untouchables started the game off with 7. That let a little air out of the balloon for me. Mayhem is consistent and has performed well as always. Taking my bias out of the equation I say: (Mayhem -1.5)


11:00am: #1E Untouchables vs #4E Jacked Up: Untouchables beat JU easily in the first week of the season, but I don't think that game means anything here. Untouchables lost their first game of the season last week with JU coming out of a 3game week 2-1. This game honestly depends on how JU's QB is playing. I give him two modes Football mode and Baseball mode...if he is in football mode this game will be great and they could win due to their size and physical play - Baseball mode? They get crushed. Either way I think Untouchables wins... (Untouchables -4.5)


11:00am: #1W Victors vs Mayhem/All Express: Victor's win over AE doesn't amount to much because I don't know which team the Victors played. The Victors didn't get to see Mayhem this season. Regardless,  I think Bill has his best team in years and one of the best in the league. Sorry for the pressure Bill. (Victors -4 over either)

PRO: 

9:45am (All Games)

#1W TTB vs #4W Spartans: Spartans have barely been able to field a team lately. My boy Ray needs to blow that team up and bring in some new blood for next season. This will be a warm up game for TTB. (TTB -21)

#2W Hit Squad vs #3E Menace: Hit Squad is rolling and they should in this game. Not sure if Menace will get more than 8 there. (Squad -16)

#2E Hitmen vs #3 Bulldawgs: I have yet to see the Bulldawgs play this year but I don't think it matters. Hitmen will roll in this game with their tiny football. (Hitmen -14)

#1W Shire vs #4 Go4Broke: Shire has been an interesting team these last two weeks. They better get back to being ONE cohesive unit. Luckily they have a struggling G4B to match up against. Unfortunately, G4B just hasn't been able to get things going this season. (Shire -13.5)

12:15pm: 

#1E TTB vs #2W Hit Squad: This should be a great game! Hit Squad gave TTB their lone loss this season. I might just have to flip a coin here but instead I am going for the upset. (Hit Squad -1.5)

#1W Shire vs #2E Hitmen: Another great game here... Two weeks ago it almost went into overtime had Hitmen not given up a last second TD and Conversion. The conversion is what won the game for Shire after Hitmen erased a 26-13 deficit in the 2nd half. I don't even know what to put here but if Clyde makes one mistake and his team turns on him as they often do...Hitmen will win. I say: (Shire -1)

That's it for today... I will wrap it up on Sunday or Monday and give you my predictions before next weeks Semi's and Championship.

MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - Regular Season Wrap-up

Alright gentlemen, and I use that term loosely...the season is over and now it is time for the playoffs. Update on the Pro playoffs. It is now and 8 team playoff instead of just the top two. More on that in a minute. First, lets look at what happened yesterday. 

ALL-PRO: 

Victors (5-1) vs Fuzion (3-3): The Victors lost their 2nd game in a row, this time to the 3-3 Fuzion team. I didn't get to see the game but it looked like a late TD was able to put Fuzion up for the win. I heard that the Victors still had a chance and actually scored a TD at the last second to have it reversed due to a sack. Either way, Fuzion is on a roll and Victors are sliding a little...they better turn it on next week. 

Franchise (2-4) vs Jacked Up (1-3): This was a pretty good game. I think it was too early for both teams and they started off slow but Jacked Up was able to hold off a late surge to seal it 28-22. Both of these teams had multiple games so I will hold my thoughts until later. 

Untouchables (6-0) vs All Express (2-4): Here is the shocker for the day. All Express knocked off the Untouchables, giving them their first loss of the season. I got to watch the end of the game when Untouchables was trying to comeback but after a desperation throw that ended in an INT it was a done deal. I didn't think I would get to say it this season but All Express looks good and could be a sleeper.

Jacked Up (1-3) vs CCC (2-4): No nothing about this game but was told that JU beat CCC.

Franchise (2-4) vs LBH2 (3-3): Franchise woke up and turned things around to win this one 41-21. LBH seems to have a little dissension among them... P.S. Qb for LBH is one of the quickest guys in the league if not THE quickest.

Mayhem (4-1) vs Jacked Up (1-3): Didn't get to see this game either but I heard that Mayhem's defense locked it down to win this one.

PRO: 

Hitmen took care of the Spartans early and Hit Squad did the same to Go 4 Broke. Both games were over by halftime. The only other game that mattered was TTB vs Shire. I had this as the game of the week but TTB put an end to that one early as they got a hold of the lead. The game didn't matter all that much but it was a solid win by a solid team. 

SEMI-PRO: 

You may have seen what Zack posted earlier today if not you can see it here. The game that was key to me was the dominating win by Balls Deep over the other #1 team Crabcakes. 

 Lastly....The MAC Poll:

ALL PRO MAC POLL:

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

2. (LW 3) Victors (5-2)

3. (LW 2) Mayhem (6-1)

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

5. (LW 7)  Jacked Up (3-4) 

6. (LW 5) Franchise (3-4)

7. (LW 8) All Express (3-4) 

8. (LW 4) LBH2 (3-4)

9. (LW 9) CCC (1-6)

10. (LW 10) Scores (0-7)

Okay, here is my final poll. Some teams evened up this week and although the Victors slipped, I still feel like both them and the Untouchables are the best teams in the league this season. With that being said, I like what All Express looks like even though no one knows who is there from week to week except for my fellow Madden players and Kosty. Jacked up had 3 games and went 2-1.. It's hard to say how they will play next week. Fuzion had a huge boost of confidence after this weeks win and Franchise had some positive results as well also going 2-1 with a dominating win over LBH2. 

Officially, I believe the standings will leave these rankings:

East: #1 Untouchables, #2 Mayhem, #3 Fuzion, #4 Jacked Up, #5  Franchise

West: #1 Victors, #2 LBH2, #3 All Express, #4 CCC, #5 Scores 

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.  I would imagine that it's Mayhem vs Scores, LBH2 vs Franchise, Fuzion vs CCC, and All Express vs Jacked Up. I will have my thoughts later in the week. 

 

PRO MAC POLL:

1. TTB (6-1)

2. Shire (6-1)

3. Hit Squad (6-1)

4. Hitmen (4-3) - IN

5. Menace (2-4?) 

6. Bulldawgs (2-4?)

7. Go 4 Broke (1-6)

8. Spartans (0-7)

Now it is officially an 8 team playoff...

West: #1 Shire, #2 Hit Squad, #3 Bulldawgs, #4 Spartans

East: #1 TTB,  #2 Hitmen, #3 Menace, #4 G4B

It should look like this: Shire vs G4B, TTB vs Spartans, Hit Squad vs Menace, Hitmen vs Bulldawgs. 

SEMI-PRO MAC POLL:

1. Balls Deep (6-1)

2. Crabcakes (6-1)

3. Circus Show (3-3)

4. Bayside Tigers (2-6?)

5. Warriors (2-4)

6. I Hate Brion (0-6)

I honestly don't know what is going on but I do know this... It will be Balls Deep vs Crabcakes for the championship and if Balls Deep's QB doesn't try to win it with his cannon of an arm they will be the champs. 

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:

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)

Winter Flag Football Season is Back!!!

First and foremost..shout out to the teams that have new jerseys from AGame! Thank you Beltway Bombers, Spartans, Danger, Jacked Up (week 3)!

Call out to Hit Squad, Hit Men and WTF... you know you want to order these jerseys soon..

MDSSC - Hunt Valley Winter Flag Football kicked off with a BANG in week 1. What couldn't be better than starting the flag football season with a snow filled Saturday?

There are 42 flag football teams this season.. that's right 42! I am going to be honest with you guys. There is no way that I can stay up to date on 42 teams... I can tell you for damn sure I won't be hanging out from 9-4 either.. Not unless someone wants to pay. (insert smiley face or Lol) I will gladly accept guest writers from Pro or Semi-Pro. Just email me (flagfootballmd@yahoo.com) if you would like me to post something. With that being said, I will do my best to post every Thursday during the season with a write up on All-Pro.

Let's recap on last week...

All Madden kicked off the first All Pro game of the season in a classic battle versus Revolution. Thanks to yours truly, Revolution was spotted 6 points on a dropped pass/interception for a first play touchdown for the Revolution defense. In my defense, I thought our defense could use a little spark... it worked! We successfully stopped them on their next three drives. It was a sloppy game all around with All Madden holding on 20-18 after a successful 2pt conversion stop late in the game.

Fuzion jumped out on Mayhem and lead 12-8 at halftime. I heard Scott started the game rusty with two picks. Mayhem turned it around though and shut Fuzion down in the 2nd half for a 21-12 win. 

Untouchables put 49 up on Jumpoff... I don't even know how that is possible in that weather. I think what you have here though is a team that just marched through the playoffs in the fall and won the championship and a team that hasn't played in a couple months. 

Money beat the Black Panthers 25-6... the Panthers are a brand new team to the league and Money is chock full of veterans...This one will likely always go to the old guys. 

Rematch from the fall flag football Semi-finals pitted Able Danger against Pain... Pain won back in the fall in the final seconds that gave Danger a bad taste for the last couple of weeks. Danger redeemed themselves on Saturday and won 28-20.

Finally, you had the Victors in a rematch from a previous championship game (I want to say last winter but I can't remember.) against LBH2... LBH2 won that championship game and they won this one too. It was a somewhat high scoring affair resulting in a 32-26 win for LBH2. Like Mike said on the AP poll...this just takes the undefeated pressure off. You can never count the Victors out. With that said LBH2 is right back into it this season.

There are 8 All-Pro Flag Football games this weekend.. That is a lot of games. I will try to pick a few games each week to highlight (starting next week) For now, here are my spreads/predictions:

8am: LBH2 (1-0) vs Untouchables (1-0): LBH2 -4

9:15am: Mayhem (1-0) vs Black Panthers (0-1): Mayhem -12

10:30am: All Madden (1-0) vs Showtime (1-0): All Madden -6

11:45am: Victors (0-1) vs Fuzion (0-1): Victors -2

1pm: Com'on Man (0-1) vs Money (1-0): Money -7

1pm: Danger (1-0) vs Rezurrection (0-0): Toss Up (I haven't seen Rezurrection play in a while)

2:15pm: Pain (0-1) vs Jumpoff (0-1): Pain -4

3:30pm: Jacked Up (0-0) vs Revolution (0-1): Tough call (I haven't seen Bordner with his normal squad yet)

Notes from the other divisions last week... Hit Squad dropped 60 on a new team... 60! They might have to think about a move up to All Pro in the Spring or Summer... Beltway looked fresh in their new AGame jerseys breaking Broke 40-12... They were missing some key guys too. The Spartans looked like a new team (with awesome AGame jerseys) against Circus (Elijah?) but I can tell they have some great athletes... stop droppin INT's 42! just messin man...but seriously.

Best Team Name of the Year is a tie: Closet Flags and Each Hit & Die... Awesome guys!

See you guys at the fields... and as always I encourage trash talk and comments but not criticism. haha.

UNTOUCHABLES WIN IT ALL!!! - MDSSC Fall Flag Football Championship

I take my hat off to all of the teams that played today. In my opinion it was a day of upsets... although Untouchables would disagree with you. They deserve the credit. They beat the Victors by 21 points or so. They capitalized on every mistake the Victors made and just when you thought the Victors were making a push the Untouchables picked it off to help seal the deal. 

In the other game...Pain vs All Madden, it was a similar case. All Madden picked the wrong day to have everything go wrong for them. Pain led most or all of the game but All Madden made a strong push towards the end... they were trailing by 3 or 4 points but needed a stop or turnover to be able to take another shot at the end-zone. It was just Pain's day today.

I would love to say that the Championship game was a great game but it seemed like Pain had spent all of their energy in the first game. Untouchables controlled the game from the beginning...knocking down passes on defense and turning catches into touchdowns. They won 34-12. 

Congratulations to the Untouchables! They won their last three games by double digits. They picked the perfect time to start rolling on offense.

Winter Flag Football season starts on December 5th. I will post some pictures from this weekend sometime soon and will be back to posting in December. Thank you to everyone for reading. I hope you enjoy the blog and pictures. Have a great Thanksgiving!

MDSSC Fall Flag Football - Week 9

Week 9 is upon us and it's the final week of this fall's flag football season. There are some interesting match-ups this week as the Big 8 will be playing their play-in games to see who goes into the playoffs. The SEC is pretty much locked up (at least the top 4) and the teams are falling into their seeds. 

Before I jump into my game-by-game, thank you for voting. There have been 35 votes so far with 7 for All Madden, 5 for the Victors, 6 each for the Untouchables and WTF and 11 for any other team. I didn't have room to put any more teams on the poll, but my thoughts are this: I think that WTF, Beltway, Able Danger, and Hitmen can score on anyone..including the likes of All Madden and the Victors. I will say that All Madden and the Victors have good defenses that have been playing together in All-Pro for years. I am not ready to anoint one of you as the next Fuzion yet, but after watching a season of you guys play; I am starting to believe. There is definitely a lot of good flag football being played this season. 

Okay, enough BS... 

8:30am Games:

No Response (0-7) vs Victors (7-0): You know, if this wasn't Flag Football, the Victors would be sitting their starters and Vince Young would be playing QB to get some reps. But it is Flag Football and after speaking to Mr. Cutler...oh, I mean Bill Mulcahy, I was told that "no mercy would be given and we will run up the score". Hopefully this zero-win team will show up to close out the season and just have fun. The Victors can try to run up the score but we will just pull a "Pain" and hopefully Ray will be watching the play clock...then lets see if you can run up the score! All in good fun. Victors (-18)

GAME OF THE WEEK - Untouchables (5-2) vs All Madden (6-1): This should be a quality game. All Madden took the Victors to OT last week without three of their biggest play-makers. The Untouchables have been well untouchable and have won five in a row! The outcome of this flag football game doesn't really matter. Both teams are in the playoffs. If the Untouchables were able to win by 13 then it would knock All Madden out of the #2 spot. I don't see that happening. All Madden (-6)

Revolution (3-4) vs Hit Squad (2-5): For some reason, I see DJ's team getting a win before they start the climb in the Fall Flag Football Playoffs. When you're a middle-of-the-pack team like Revolution or Hit Squad, it's hard to get motivated for a game that doesn't always mean anything. The difference is that Hit Squad has had at least 16 guys at every game where as Revolution struggles to get 8 sometimes. Hit Squad (-8)

9:45am Games (BIG 8 Play-in Games):
Able Danger (6-1) vs Menace (1-6): Menace's only win is against one of the other one-win teams in the division. They lost 33-13 to Able in week 1. That was a long time ago...unfortunately, Able just keeps winning. Able Danger (-16) 

Beltway Bombers (6-1) vs Circus Show (1-6): I really like how Beltway is playing. They have some guys on their squad that could really shake things up in the SEC. They beat Circus 48-12 last week. I don't know if it will be that dominant of a win as they might not be as focused. However, they are still a favorite....maybe to go deep in the playoffs. Beltway Bombers (-19)

Hitmen (5-2) vs Warriors (1-6): The Warriors just don't seem to have an offense. They have only scored 98 points. They seem to have a decent defense (accept for the 52-6 loss to Able) but just can't score. The Hitmen, however, broke the 200 point margin and have only lost to Able and Beltway. Hitmen (-10) 

11:00am Games: 
Tarheels (2-5) vs The Express (1-6): This one is interesting. The Tarheels have lost some weird games and their two wins are over the Hit Squad and a winless No Response. However, they do have a QB who has won three championships in the All Pro league. The Express are also interesting...they have some decent athletes and a QB that does a decent job of protecting the ball. If Ryan is on his game, the Tarheels win this flag football game easily. Without knowing that, I am going to have to say....Tarheels (-4)

WTF! (5-2 ) vs The Movement (3-4): This is another Big 8 play-in game. WTF! has been throwing up points like it's arena football out there (271 in 7 games). The Movement have the athletic talent to compete with anyone, but they have just been too inconsistent yet again. Yeah, they beat Menace 64-0 last week but WTF! scores points and has a decent defense. Week 4 game between these two was a 41-20 win for WTF! I am thinking a closer but similar outcome. WTF! (-9)  

So that's it for the final week of the MDSSC Fall Flag Football regular season. I want to take a quick moment to thank those of you that are considering me and AGame for your jerseys for the upcoming winter season. There are going to be some really good looking squads out there! Now for the rest of you who think jerseys are not your thing, it's only a matter of time before Mike is forced to say: "Jerseys required... see Will" haha. On that note, registration is this Saturday and next Wednesday (11/4) for the winter season. Both will be held at Hightopps. You should be there on Saturday after your game anyway. Okay, enough plugs. Good luck to everyone on Saturday and here's to Mike for another great season!


Shameless Plug: I am the Account Manager here in Maryland for AGame Team Apparel. If you need jerseys or uniforms for this upcoming Winter season, give me a call or email me. Revolution, All Madden, Fuzion and the Victors all sport AGame uniforms along with a few new teams that will be announced in the future.
