Bullet's Quote of Week "This
vict’ry is big for the Sod Busters and Sickle Masters, because they
get to put that “lack of competitive spirit” tag behind them for
another week.
You know, Jimmy Armstrong cited Lyle with the same violation in
1982 because he wouldn’t do the pre-game, base line jig with the rest
of the Rockets’ hoops team"

From Underneath The Rock in Media Void By Bullet Head Week
11 in the BDFL... Bullets
Outscore Wizards and Make ‘em Like It (Greystone)—The highest two scoring teams in
week 11 met at the Tea & Crumpet Coliseum this weekend, and the
Bullerino left doing a little jig, or was it the Shagg? with a narrow
vict’ry over the Wizards. In
a hotly contested match-up between the white collar Wizards and the blue
collar Bullets, the Boys from Benton prevailed because of their “rough
and tumble” upbringing in the cornfields of Fieldstown, while the
“Silver Spoons” from Snow Rogers have had a hard time dealing with
adversity. Ever since the
Bullerino “carried” Merlin on some golf outings in the 80’s,
Bullet has held the upper hand over Merlin, and this weekend’s outcome
was indicative of Bullet’s control of the situation.
The Pixie Dusters could blame the evil Schedulemaker, (having
scored enough to beat every other BDFL team this weekend) but that would
only prove futile. Meanwhile,
Bullet “showed his class” after the vict’ry by NOT rolling any
trees or tearing down any goalposts as he left the gated community. Warriors
Snuff Out Duds (Green Springs)—Kawliga’s march to his 1st-ever
BDFL Championship gets closer every weekend as he continues strong down
the stretch into untested waters for his usual “fade in the fall”
Tribe. The Warriors
disposed of the Duds this weekend on the old stomping grounds of George
Ward Memorial, embarrassing the Johnnys in front of the home folks.
The Grenades had captured some false hope in the last two
week’s by getting a couple of vict’ries, but they were clearly not
up to the challenge of taking on the younger, faster and more resilient
leaders from the mighty Green Horn Division. Sin
Wagon Rolls Over Woo Crew (Riverchase)—When is a loss a win?
Well, for the Woosiers it’s when you can get out of bumpkin,
Blount County, go catch an entertaining show, and depart with most of
your large bills still in your pockets. Granted, the Woo Crew lost a game and the most $1 bills since
Andy Moore’s Excellent Atlanta Adventure in 1980, but they’ll
probably trade a loss in a fantasy football league for a few table
dances from the finest fantasy girls South of Sammy’s in the
Birmingham Metropolitan area. As
for Mike Price’s Cheetahs, he may be heading for a Championship Game
that no one thought possible when me moved to the Deep South earlier
this year from the Pacific Northwest.
Price believes he is just “fulfilling his Destiny.” Sleds Crush Cronies...Not (Fairfield)—The Dolodome was rockin’ this
weekend, and the Mayors came a knockin.’
Why? No real really
knows. Is there a “noise
ordinance” in the Magic City? If
so, the Mayor would have to go around pulling dozens of Crown Vic’s
off the roads. At any rate, Mad Jack is back.
The Sledheads may not win the BDFL this year, but the “Blare is
Back,” and the “Fun in Fairfield” bumper stickers are indications
that the PowerSleds may once again be laying the foundation for some big
times to come in the future. This
week’s celebration song for the Sleds was dug out of the closet;
“Come on Feel the Noise,” by Quiet Riot.
Mad joined in on the chorus as the Cronies limped away,
“We’ll get wild, wild, wild!” NOTE: After further review the Mayors actually won 23-22, but we couldn't write a better story so we're sticking to this one. Sloths
Catch Dogs (Lake Cyrus)—“Happiness is Brookside, Alabama
in my rearview mirror,” is an old refrain that Dog lived by in his
earlier years. But, since
he returned to his hometown to build his BDFL franchise, Dog has enjoyed
quite a home field advantage on the banks of the Five Mile Creek.
However, on the banks of Lake Cyrus, Mark’s Mutts floundered
like Doddie Goode coming off a three-day bender.
The Dogs got pounded this weekend by Mukes’ Monsters, who still
know how to hit an opponent where it hurts.
After the game Dog hung around on the couch with Mukes sharing
some milk and a big ol’ bag of chips and reminiscing about being
roomies in the mid-80’s. They
called Bucket to join in their Love-In, but apparently he was busy. Blades
Cut ‘Nauts Down to Size (Gardendale)—At least the Rockets are playing
decent this year, heading to the 3rd round of the state playoffs.
Because, the Juggernauts are stinking up Ed Bruce Stadium every
chance they get. Just like the SEC has to have Vandy, the BDFL has to have a
girl. In this politically
correct society, I guess “Daddy” doesn’t carry the weight it once
did. However, you won’t
hear L.A. complain. This
vict’ry is big for the Sod Busters and Sickle Masters, because they
get to put that “lack of competitive spirit” tag behind them for
another week. You know,
Jimmy Armstrong cited Lyle with the same violation in 1982 because he
wouldn’t do the pre-game, base line jig with the rest of the
Rockets’ hoops team. Bootleggers
Kick Gamblers (Mobile)—Moving across the border to Alabama
for a game at Ladd Peebles Delchamp’s Stadium in Mobile was supposed
to spark a little momentum for the Gamblers and get them away from the
debauchery of Biloxi for a few days.
But their showdown with the Bootleggers turned out to be a
disaster. (The attendance
was less than the annual SWAC battle that the Port City hosts between
Alabama State and Southern.) The
Wood Brothers unloaded a 55-gallon drum of whoop @$$ from their Big
Block Dodge and proceeded to dump it all over the heads of the
“supposedly” Real Deal. Kenny
B. left Mobile in shame and headed back to Biloxi, while the Whiskey
Runners pointed their affore-mentioned vehicle north on I-65, and let
their home state’s natural suction pull them back in record time. |
