Word from the Mouth
By Kevin Kousaie
We made it through another week and only a few more touches go until playoffs, and I can't wait for the time off. After weeks of us complaining about the rain the last 2 weeks we have been dying from the heat and humidity. I'll take the rain over the heat any day. Most if not, all would prefer the heat but when you’re out in that weather for 14 hours the sun kills you. The NBA is over, the NHL is done all we have is baseball which sucks peaches to watch it’s too dam slow and the CFL. Wait there is one more league you’re forgetting about ELF, Its stands for Europe league of football. I mean it’s not NFL if that’s what you’re expecting but it isn't half bad and it gives you your fix so I’m ok with it.
Recaps
D1
Raccoons once again looked out of place in D1 getting smoked by Iron Wolves lead by Willie. Avery was finally used by Guillaume or at least for big plays but once they were close it was Dave St-Jean on a drag for the score. In their second game Raccoons finally pulled out a victory over Villains on the last play of the game. Who says punting is a terrible thing, only Willie. After cutting through everyone like a hot knife in butter Idaho got a reality check when they faced Outlaws. They had a tough time stopping or even slowing down the combo of Max and Marvin who each scored 3TDs. In the final d1 game of the weekend came down to the wire with KOLB pulling it out over The Unit by 1 point.
D2
Ducks snatched their holiest win of the season over Phoenix. Ducks came out fast and hard to start the get jumped out to a big lead before Phoenix woke up and started to play. Phoenix made a game of it in the second half, but it wasn't enough as Phoenix keeps sliding down. Average Joe's are looking average at best, ever since that last second win against Fins Up. Nice TDs keep rolling as they pull out another close one. Rejects beat a RawSauce team that was missing Avery because of their defense having 4 picks in the game. CIA struggled at times in this game but also at times looked like they might pull it out. This Fins up team can beat you in so many ways. This week it was the combo of ben and max. Ben for the big plays and max for short and first downs. It’s their defense that was more impressive 5 sacks totaled by 3 different players.
D3
Somehow someway Nomads pulled off the win against Thunder Buddies. Nomads were outplayed but got away with it because Thunder Buddies couldn't stop the run. F.A.T. players went 0-2 this weekend but after their second game were considering a name change to formally F.A.T. Players. You're going to lose any game that you give up 42 yards rushing to Jon, it’s in the rulebook. The funny thing is in their second game they only allowed Avery 32 yards on 2 extra carries.
D4
It what we all have been looking forward for weeks now the clash of the big 2 in the division turned out to be a flop. Mustard Tigers were looking to stay undefeated, but they were without their QB among other players. Baby Maynard singlehandedly beat Mustard Tigers scoring 4 TDs and getting 2 picks on defense. The rest of the D4 games were blowouts except the Bandits verse Nothing but D. That game lacked excitement. Matt leads a Bandits team that is very efficient offensively and depends heavily on the defense. Nothing But D struggled all day to move the ball.
D5
After getting trampled by 514 in the morning Wolverines rebounded and got their first win of the season over Phoenix. This game came down to the very end with Sylvain scoring the winner with 11 seconds left and without Brendan being there for Phoenix there was slim to no chance they were going to score in 2 plays. Later in the day Phoenix got to play their second game of the day and looked to snap the 2-game losing streak they are on. In their first game Phoenix struggled to move the ball and that carries over into the second game. The truth of the matter is that if Mimosa crew had their second string QB had been there they would have won the game. Phoenix got away with one because Chad had never thrown a ball before. Pick 6ers won and this time it was because of their offense. William threw 3 TDs and only 1 pick those numbers are normally reversed.
Women's
I missed all the women's games but the word around the field was Angie killed it throwing 5 TDs and Zuzana was equally as important getting 2 TDs and 2 picks for Crazy Bs. Drama Queen was led by their defense getting 4 picks and scoring on 2 of them.
That’s all I have for you this week.

Final Thoughts
In case you didn't already know it is calling for rain tomorrow so yeah to me who gets to be there all day getting wet. At least I play early and won’t have to play in sloppy conditions. Maybe I'll pull a Jon and just screw terry over to finding a time to reschedule the games and not do what they did and schedule it at the same time as another game I must play. Yes, this happened look it up. I won’t give names, but we know who it is. I’m going to leave it like that and let you go but before I do remember we are playing a game for fun so go out have some fun and don’t try and kill anyone. I've been hit enough over these last few weeks that I don’t need any more brain damage. Have a good one and see you tomorrow. Breaking news games from Leber have been moved over to Darcy McGee this weekend.
