Blathering

Dec 30, 2005

Anyone for some blathering:

  • S'Layer 49, Vog 29... Plano came strong out of the box, squashing the repeat title hopes of a disappointed Vog squad. It was a battle of QB's and Peyton Manning punished the interception-happy Brett Favre. The exasperated Vog owner proclaimed "F you Brett Favre! God I hate the F-ing Packers!" (don't we all?!?!) at the negative point production of his aging star QB.
  • Golem 53, MCTACKLE 36... League MVP Sean Alexander was outscored by Golem RB Dom Davis, and the Golem scurried off to a first-round victory over a highly-touted MCTACKLE squad.
  • Salsa 43, S'Layer 28... The Salsa beat the Sod Layers in the second round, but not all was well with the #1 seed. LT, Sioux City's season-long crutch, was hampered by nagging injuries and garnered only 3 points. It was enough to beat the Sod Layers, but foreshadowed potential doom for the high-powered Salsa.
  • Golem 72, Rain 69... The Golem/Rain seminfinal game was one of the best football playoff games of all time, and considered by many to be a significant upset. The second-seeded Rain had a high-octane offense all year. In response, the Golem dug deep from his bench and the waiver wire. Improbable (cough) double-digit performances by the likes of D Gerrard, L Fitzgerald, A Boldin and (cough, cough) J Wells led the Golem to a thrilling 72-69 win.
  • Golem 53, Salsa  30... With LT on the mend, Gotham City clinched his second title in three years, in anticlimactic (and ungracious) fashion.

Next year!

thanks... yow, bill
