We all made it through another week of games, but some teams and players are really pushing the limits and are lucky this is a noncontact league or else I can guarantee a few of you are getting laid out. I won’t give names, but if you read that and thought what you did wasn’t that bad, then I’m talking about you.

We all know that springtime everyone is just looking to get out and find a hot hookup for the summer with winter coming faster than we like, so it’s time to update your MFL profile and info. This way we can start an MFL dating site and everyone can get their fill of football and boys and/or girls as well.

I’m saying this as a joke, but I’m sure this can happen. We could set up ground rules like if you slide into that person’s DMs and you’re playing that week, loser has to buy dinner.

I’ll say it now, so I don’t have to say it 500 times at the field: I have a GF and her name is Sunshine and I’m not allowed talking to other women. She beats me, lol.

(ed’s note: is it just me, or is Kevin really just starting to go off the deep end? I was going to edit out basically his entire intro here, but I think it’s good to keep so there’s a record of his slip into madness)

Laval kicked off this week and I was only able to see the last game and both of those teams were free agent squads, but they both looked good and will not be like a free agent team in Brossard.

This week is going to be interesting with Saturday in Montreal and then Sunday with Brossard and Laval. It should be a fun filled weekend.

We only have 10 more days until the NFL kicks off and I can’t wait. (ed’s note: like, what is that non-sequitur? “We’re playing on Saturday and Sunday, NFL in 10 days”. Right? It’s not just me, right?)

 

Recap

 

D1

I Missed out on seeing D1 games this week and all I know was both games came down to the wire.

 

D2

 

Phoenix vs Rejects (12-53)

I’ll keep this brief. I played like ass throwing another 5 picks this week which is the reason the score was like it is. Dobbs got plenty of help all game and he had short fields to work with and it seemed like every call went his way as well. Like on his first snap where he pinned the ball with one hand on the ground picked it up and threw a TDs pass to a wide-open player since no one on the defense moved as the ball was on ground (ed’s note: play to the whistle!). Phoenix had issues all day on both sides of the ball. Offensively we would march a bit then I’d throw aa stupid pass and it would get picked and we be back on defense where we missed tackles and coverages all game long. Ali and Eric torched us for a combined 14 catches for 157 yards and 6 TDs. You’re not going to win many games playing like that. I’m not Jabberwockying on the defense as they played 90% of the game. It was all on me and my horrible throwing.

 

D3

 

Turf Ninjas vs Blitzing Bastards (33-31)

This game looked to be over by halftime as Turf Ninjas had built an impressive 27-7 lead and when they started the second half with the ball and scored right away it looked to be a runaway until Sanketh started to play smart ball and take the easy throws. After opening the second half with a pick 6, Sanketh kept his head up and his arm loose and as the Turf Ninjas defense started to let up, he was able to move the ball and score some points. What really helped was the defense for Blitzing Bastards stepped up and forced Mat to throw 3 picks on Turf Ninjas next 3 drives. With 2 minutes left and after failing to get their 2-point convert the score was 33-31 for Turf Ninjas. All Mat needed to do was gain a first down and the game would be over, and that’s what happened. I think if the game was 10 minutes longer, that Blitzing Bastards might have pulled off the epic comeback and put a smile on the face of Kris.

 

D4

 

Witching Hour vs Binettes (46-6)

Witching Hour is a new team, and they look strong for this division. Albert is playing QB for them and his numbers weren’t bad, the issue for them was dropped balls or balls being a bit out of reach for his guys. The game was 34-0 at half and in the second half Witching Hour took their foot off the gas, but when you’re up that big at half you can’t lose that game.

 

Slot Machines vs Action Squad (49-0)

It was al Kyle and Eric scoring 7 TDs on their combined 9 catches. Slot Machines might be too good once again for the division they are playing in. Action Squad had no answer and looked to be in rough shape when this game ended.

 

D5

 

I wasn’t able to see any of this division, but I hopefully will see some this upcoming weekend.

 

Women’s

 

Steeleuses vs Déesses du Drapeau (26-13)

I won’t lie, going in I thought that this was just a warmup game for Déesses du Drapeau before the rematch of last seasons final. I also didn’t know anyone on Steeleuses before the game, but after speaking to a few of them after the game they know what they are doing and how to play the game. Déesses du Drapeau wanted to try something new out and made the switch from Viviane to Daphne and this was the difference in the game. With Daphne being QB there were a few plays that she missed throws on and a few drops from her receivers, but she played well for a first timer. The one thing she will need to learn is not taking a big sack on fourth down. Can’t be done and she needs to just throw it up and hope for the best and if it’s a pick well you just made extra yards for the other team to drive (ed’s note: people say this, but unless it’s a guaranteed sack, sometimes the QB is trying to just avoid the tackle to buy time. I’d rather see if I can make the rusher miss to give me time to get an open receiver than to just throw it up and hope). With Steeleuses being new to the league you didn’t know what you would get, but they can play. Carine is their rusher and was all over Daphne racking up 3 sacks and pressure all game long. Kelly led them with 7 tackles as well as a pick on defense and had 6 catches for 40 yards and 2 TDs on offense. Branda played solidly this week, distributing the ball and take a few shots down field when it was open.

 

That is all I have for you on recaps. If you want more, which I know you do, look for MFL total Access with Terry & Willie which is out on Wednesday.

 

Studs & Duds

 

This week we had limited games and that meant less (ed’s note: fewer) players to pick from and that gives you a better chance of see your named up on my list. Now let’s see who showed up and who is dog water.

 

Studs

 

D1

- Jonathan Lyristis scoring 2 TDs on offense while having the hardest job of rushing Steve and getting a sack but also pressure that led to interceptions.

 

D2

- Ryan Richard Lee scored 3 TDs on 5 catches.

 

D3

- Justin Salonga 4 TDs and 1 pick thrown but completed 16 of 30 passes for 167 yards and ran once for 11 yards.

 

D4

- Karmina Asharyzad made 8 tackles, had 3 sacks and at least 3 or 4 batted balls. She didn’t have any offensive stats but was the difference on defense.

 

D5

- Emilio Ulisse 2 for 4 as a QB with 2 TDs. He caught 3 passes for 33 yards and made 2 tackles and had 1 pick on defense.

 

Women’s

- Kelly Anania had 5 TDs and 80 yards on 13 catches and she made 8 tackle and had 2 picks on defense in her 2 games played.

 

Duds

 

D1

- Joey Notaro 1 catch 6 yards and I get that it was a TD but you’re better than that and with only 7 players and the brothers not being there I expected to see way better numbers.

 

D2

- Victor Davis this looked like a huge pick up when it happened but if he keeps playing like this then it doesn’t really matter.

 

D3

- Mat Lacourse for almost giving the game away with all the second half picks.

 

D4

- Slot Machines for how they finished the game off being up big and still taking shots and trying to score.

 

D5

- Steven Biddle 5 catches 12 yards. You must make a player miss and get some YAC.

 

Women’s

- Déesses du Drapeau their defense for game number 2.

 

There you have it, my list of ballers and those guys and gals who Jabberwockyed the bed this week.
