MOOKIE GETS ONE
...and there's trouble in another cell phone.
Week five in the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl and there remains only two contenders to the football immortals; the 1972 Dolphins...and the 2008 Lions.
The fans came out in force to see the best damm 0-4 team in the league, Show Me Your TD's shock one of league leading teams and finally move off the bottom rung of the ladder and advance to 1-4. "As hard as it may be," Coach Mookie proclaimed at the after party function at the Republican Convention Stripper headquarters, "we are still in the hunt for the post season."
How anyone can be in the hunt for the post season when their starters fail to score, or indeed, score negatively, is amazing. Once again, this week, we had players out on the paddock pretending to be goal posts. Greg Olsen (Dragons), Jermichael Finley (Reapers) Mario Manningham (Green Beans) and Steve Smith (Mudville Nine).
Having said that, the Rams Defense scored a total of -3 for the Takky Glue, but that didn't stop them from compiling the second biggest upset of the weekend, downing the front running Every Given Sunday 94 - 74.
After getting a much needed win last week, the Wild Boston terriers were heavy favorites against the Helmand Nighthawks. Through a week of multiple positional changes and one trade, Mr. Chris was able to smear the Terriers with a convincing 111-69 win, moving the Nighthawks to 4-1 to lead the Surface Skimmers division.
Year after year, people talk about the "immortal" teams, the two teams by which all others are held accountable. The 72 Dolphins have yet to pop the champagne as the BP Badasses didn't even need to start Monday night to beat the Mudville Nine 125 - 101. The other team, the 2008 Detroit players are now looking at only one team, as the South West Rockets fall to 0-5. In the "family feud" edition of the league, father Pioneer sent daughter #3 to the lions despite her best score of the year, 143 - 104.
Like all good leagues, the use of cell phones has been brought into question, yet again. The Associated Subsim Writers have learned that at least three coaches have been embroiled in a scandal involving racy pictures. None of the coaches have been identified, but the sender of the racy pics has gone public....because no one else will. The ASW has found the woman at the center of the scandal, sending
pics of herself to coaches. More details as they unfold throughout the season.
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 Five, it was a dynamic performance of 166 yards, 2 TD's and 2 receptions for an additional 23 yards, which stood out, winning in the most lop sided game of the week, 150-58. The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the running back Matt Forte of the Really Ded Poets, the Week Five MVT.
