MDSSC - Summer Flag Football - Week 3

Guy, I am sorry but I have been busy the last couple of weeks and it's one of the reason's I was hesitant to start this thing up again. I am hoping to get back out there after the holiday. With that being said, I only know the score of one game and that is the Go4Broke vs Hitmen Game. Roger "the Great" was gracious enough to thank me for picking Go4Broke to win the game. Guess it was a good ol'fashioned ass whopping. The score told to me was 38-12. Hey Roger, I like your style man but you HAVE to bring it up to All-Pro in the fall or you have to stop talking. All in good fun man.

So if anyone wants to help me out with a write up or something of what happened in their game, I would be glad to hear it. Otherwise, this is it from me this week fellas. Have a great 4th of July weekend.

P.S. If Mike updates the website, I might throw some predictions out there... 

Summer Flag Football - MDSSC Hunt Valley

Sorry for the delay this week guys. I didn't make it out to the games last week and only heard about the Victors win over Madden Express and the Hollywood win over Fuzion. With that being said, I saw the standings and here are my thoughts... 

Fuzion is off to an 0-2 start. Not typical of this team...The Victors and Franchise Hollywood are both off to 2-0 starts and will still be undefeated after this week as they are both down in Virginia for some contact flag football tourneys. Jacked up has still yet to play a football game this season but draw the Untouchables for their opener. That should be a good game. Here are the standings:

Franchise Hollywood: 2-0           Victors: 2-0

Mayhem: 1-0                                      CCC: 1-1

Untouchables: 1-0                           LBH2: 1-1

Jacked Up: 0-0                                  Madden Express: 0-2

Fuzion: 0-2                                         Scores: 0-2

GAMES OF THE WEEK:

8:30am Fuzion vs Untouchables: Unless Fuzion finds their defense...I say Untouchables -6

11:00am Jacked Up vs Untouchables: 2nd game on a hot day for the Untouchables, I say Jacked Up -3

In the Pro division there are two strong teams, in my opinion...Hit Squad and Shire/Movement. The others are a tad behind them. That's not a knock on Menace but the other two squads are putting points on the board. 

GAMES OF THE WEEK:

8:30am Go 4 Broke vs Hitmen: G4B needs a win and need some offense, they have only put up 21 points in two games. However, they are a team that can get in "Roger the Great's" head though... G4B to get of the schneid -1.5

9:45am Hit Squad vs Shire: Battle of the Undefeated....they are identical Points given up 32/36 and Points scored 63/62.. EVEN

11:00am TTB vs Menace: This is where Menace is humbled... TTB -4

Special shout out to the Hit Squad... They will be debuting their new AGame Team Flag Football Jerseys this week. They look fantastic. Thanks gentlemen and good luck. No more INT's Brady Quinn! 

That's it from me this week. Stay cool Hunt Valley.

MDSSC - Men's Summer Flag Football Kicks Off!

Well the Summer Flag Football season officially kicked off this last Saturday. I was able to see a few games and hope to catch some each week. I am still out of commission so I should have time to catch some games. 

Let's start with what some would say is the biggest news of the early season. The Victors, as we've known them for the last 5 years, is no more. After an amicable split, two new teams were formed. Staying true to the blue and gold are Bill, Nueve and Los...I think I may be missing a guy or two. They picked up some guys from various contact football leagues that have played with Bill in some form or fashion and look to have a pretty good squad. They played well together on Saturday disposing of the up-and-coming Scores team.(24-6) You know what was weird? They didn't have the patented yelling and arguing on the sidelines or between each other...but I digress. The other team that formed with some of the veterans of old Victors are now known as Franchise Hollywood. Leading the way for them is #21, who has a cannon for an arm and is leading a nationally ranked flag football team, the Blaze over in MDFFA in Essex. Along with him are some familiar faces: #1 Oakley, #27 Blaze, C.Grant, Lichaa and some other talent from the MDFFA Giants and Brigade. They survived their debut against the Express, who have a few pieces from the Spring Champs All Madden squad. (14-13)

On to the other two games I got to see. Roger and the Hit Men took on a hungry Hit Squad led by DJ and crew. Let's just say that it may have been a game for the first 5 minutes. Hit Squad came out aggressive and wanting this one from the first whistle. Although Brady Quinn tried to keep it a game, after a throwing a few drive ending interceptions. They never lost composure though, and forced more turnovers than they gave up and easily won 38-12. 

The other game that I watched was the Spartans versus Menace. I didn't know what to expect from this game, but I didn't expect the 32-0 drumming that Menace handed to the Spartans. Menace is an interesting team and they will have their challenges this season, but good confidence building win. I have to hand it to the Spartans though. They play tough every week and never give up. Few tips though...you guys are going to have to switch it up. Simplify your game. Focus on getting first downs and the scoring will come. You guys have the talent to compete in this flag football league! 

Let's round it up. Mayhem jumped out to a 28-0 lead on Fuzion before winning 36-18. Nice fight from Fuzion after being down so much at halftime. Scott is back and Mayhem has made some positive changes to their roster. Looking forward to seeing how their season goes. As for Fuzion, you can never count them out. 

LBH2 is back and started their season off nice with a 30-13 win over the Coyotes. In Pro, G4B lost a close one to TTB (13-14) and Shire outscored the Bulldawgs 40-30. 

Here are a few games to look for this weekend: 

8:30am - LBH2 (1-0) vs Untouchables (0-0)

9:45am - Hit Squad (1-0) vs TTB (1-0)

11:00am - Scores (0-1) vs Coyotes (0-1)

Well that's it from me this week... Good luck guys

Spring Flag Football Champs - All Madden gets over the hump vs Untouchables

Well the Spring season is over. Unfortunately, I have not been able to keep this up to date as some fortunate and unfortunate issues happened. The fortunate, my son was born. 

The unfortunate, I got hurt in week one and wasn't able to drive, let alone come to the games.

However, since my team won, I did get a nice recap of last weekend's playoff run. So here it goes:

First off, All Madden had the HitMen and handled them quickly with a 47-6 victory. They then had WTF!? after WTF!? handled the Beltway Bombers. That victory was also easy for All Madden with it ending 40-12. 

On Sunday, All Madden faced Pain for their first game. They jumped up on them with some defensive TD's and at halftime it was 32-8, in favor of All Madden. The game ended 46-8, I believe. 

Now for a rematch - not a championship rematch - but a brewing rivalry between Untouchables and All Madden. The Untouchables have dominated the league the last three seasons and have become a typical face in the championship game. Today, however, was All Madden's day. It was a great game that came down to almost the exact same situation as the last time these two met. It was 26-20 in favor of All Madden at the two minute warning. The Untouchables had the ball. (The last time this happened, Mike threw me the ball...it was a little off (jk Mike), and I dropped it right into the Untouchables' defender's hands. They drove and scored and we couldn't get back in the end-zone.) This time was different.  The new addition Aaron Nocar picked off a pass towards the end-zone and that was all she wrote. All Madden 26 - Untouchables 20. 

The Champs... minus Me and Jimmy (#13).

All Madden is taking a break...too many guys will be gone this summer. So good luck to the teams playing this season. Now that I am starting to get a routine two weeks into becoming a dad I am going to try and get this thing back up and running. 

Play Hard or Go Home... but don't take your ball.

P.S. Since this is my blog I will go ahead and plug AGame too. As most of you know by now, I am the Account Manager for AGame for this region. If you are tired of wondering why you look so bad as a team, unlike: Able Danger, All Madden, Beltway Bombers, Fuzion, The Movement, WTF!?, The Victors, Go4Broke, Spartans, Jacked Up and soon the Hit Squad... give me a call or shoot me an email I will be glad to get you hooked up with some custom jerseys for your team. When you look good, you play better.

Flag Football Blog....Maryland Flag Football League

Fellow Flag Footballers, 

I apologize for the lack of posts over the last couple of months. That winter season was a huge debacle with all of the weather that we got and the huge breaks in play. My team, in fact, was on a 7 week break before those playoffs that resulted in the Untouchables winning back-to-back titles. Props to them, by the way. 

Well the season started a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately, I hurt my ankle to the point that it might as well had broke. Unfortunately, I am done for the season. The doc has me on crutches and in a boot for 4-6 weeks and I am stuck at home. On top of being hobbled and missing football, my son is due to be born any day now. With all that being said, the blog isn't on top of my priority list. I can't wait to get back out there but in the mean time I can't drive let alone get out there to watch some games and take pictures or video. 

The last couple of times I posted I had suggested that some of you send me your scores and a write up if they want but only a few guys did that....so here's the deal guys. I am out of commission for this season and maybe the summer. If you want to, send me the scores of your game and a write up if you want. If I only get 2-3 then I will just stop the blog for a while until I am at least able to come watch some games. I am putting it in your hands. I don't care either way. If I do get emails from you then we can do some polls or rankings...otherwise I will see you guys when I get back.

Thanks Beltway Bombers....just kidding.
