The CommishCOMMISH'S CORNER
While some us are glad to see this godforsaken season to finally come to an end, the Pride and Q-Dogs are preparing to battle it out for this years title. Here is how they made it that far.........
Pride
89 Stingrays
53
The Stingrays couldn't put out the effort Coach Merv had become to accustomed to
early on in the year. The Pride show their year end 1st Place finish was no
fluke by turning back the once Mighty Stingrays squad in a decisive fashion.
Coaches Rose and Brown continue to struggle with this whole internet based
league concept (yes, checking e-mail more than once a week is prerequisite for
the league fellas!), but their Pride squad is leaving a trail of fallen
opponents behind them in their quest for the National Championship. The Pride
get solid efforts from just about every player in the line-up and proved that
they were not intimidated by the Myers Mystique. The Pride advance on for one
final showdown with the Q-Dogs, they will settle for nothing less than a bronzed
football to put on the mantle. (Okay, signed football!). The Stingrays season
comes to a close and Coach Merv can't be happy with the final result. Merv's
squad looked unbeatable for so long, and then suddenly once they showed a sign
of weakness, the feeding frenzy began on his defenseless team. Having a once invincible
Clemson QB go ice cold in the playoffs was not what Merv was looking for. Still,
Coach Merv walks away with a nice chunk of change with his outstanding regular
season performance, and is looking forward to redemption with his league leading
NFL squad. Good luck Merv!
Q-Dogs 108
Maulers 105
WOW!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!! That about sums it up for this fantastic match-up! The
Q-Dogs prevail in by far the most entertaining playoff match-up in years, if not
ever. These two teams slugged it out to the very end, and the Q-Dogs were left
standing. As Coaches Russ & Al left the field, it was a scene reminiscent of
the San Diego/Miami playoff game way back when, as both coaches had to be
carried off the field, ala Kellen Winslow, by their now frenzied team. Russ/Al
hope to have one more game left in the tank after this battle, and get the
benefit of not having to face yet another Myers lead team on their way to the
promised land. The Pride are the favorites going into the game by virtue of
their season ending finish, but how can you count out the Q-Dogs. "Who let
the Dogs" may be ringing out all over this fine country one more ear
ringing time if they can win one more game. Not something we are looking forward
to, but it's their party, they'll play what they want to. The Maulers bow out of
the Championship race, and Coach Mike is just left shaking his head wondering
what the hell happened. Mike's Maulers squad put out an effort that gets the a
win just about any other week in the year. Mike is left to lament the missed
opportunity with dear old Dad, and now must focus on their NFL title run. Thanks
for the outstanding effort Coach Mike, but as they say, "On any given
Saturday"............
SCRUB BOWL
Coach McSwain and his Contributors team prove
that they are more than just Drew Brees and company, and get a second straight
Scrub Bowl victory. The Contributors post a week high of 92 points, while a few
teams actually made it close this week. Those two teams were not the Death Squad
or Christians. Thank God this torture is almost over!!!!!!!
Special Weekly Awards:
Coaching Blunder of the Week: The Maulers could have got the win if they had started their other defense.
Co-MVP'S of the
Week: Moss WR, Pride & Mitchell RB, Q-Dogs
Both players posted 26 point efforts to lead their respective teams to wins, as
they advance on to the Championship Game. Honorable Mention goes to Nebraska QB,
Maulers who posted the league high 36 points, but it wasn't enough for the
Maulers squad against the Q-Dogs.
Boxscore Blunder of the Week: No blunders this week, nice job!
Quote of the
Week: Q-Dogs "Head Coach" Russell with his
poetic look at the upcoming Championship Game......."Wrestling may not
be...but Heroes will always be real". What, wrestling not real?????? I
guess neither is Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy! Damn, the Commish is crushed!
