BADASSES CRACK ONE
Field sniffing from one behind.
Week four in the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl and there remains only one team undefeated, two yet to get their first win, and a whole heap of football left to decide the balance of the games.
But the big talk this week was the word "Bye". Bye bye to points, and there were a lot of teams playing their bye players. The Broncolo's started Thomas Jones and Kellen Winslow (Bye), the Green beans started Ryan Succop (another bye), plus you also have a slew of other teams who had players that may as well been scheduled for the bye - they did nothing. Including: Randy Moss (Show me Your TD's), Mario Manningham, Julian Edelman and the Bills Defense (scoring -4) of the Green Beans, Andre Johnson (Dragons) and Mike Sims Walker and Darren Sproles (minus score as well) for the Taipans.
And just quietly, several coaches are complaining about the lack of scoring TD's by their starters.
Not Coach McBee though, getting his first win of the season against the 107-49. "At 1-3 we're still a chance," he reported at the post game media conference. Across the country even Coach Rick of the Dragons was still upbeat about 2-2, losing out to Every Given Sunday 104-92. The Dragons sit with four other teams at 2-2 looking ahead at the 3-1 teams.
Worth talking about was Coach Mookie breaking the one point hoodoo...getting thumped by the Mudville Nine 102-65. "We got so sick of loosing by one," Mookie reported. "That we just wanted to see if we could loose by a lot." 48 points...that was almost the total points score of the Green Beans.
So as we head into the second quarter of the year, The Badasses stand tall as the red hot burning team to beat. One game back, the Broncolo's, Helmand Nighthawks, a surprise entry by Every Given Sunday and the Mudville Nine are locked at 3-1.
Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.
In Week Four, it was one of the teams getting their first win of the year, and done in such decisive fashion. 2 sacks, 4 interceptions, 2 defensive touchdown, and 2 blocked kicks, The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the New England Patriots Defense of the Takky Glue, the Week Four MVT.
