Warrior General Games

Went 4-0 in my week #11 picks, bringing season record up to 30-12. Did anyone watch the US v Canada hockey game for the gold today? That was pretty cool, too bad the US lost in overtime, but the game tying goal with like 30 seconds left in regulation was fantastic. That was the 1st time in about 20 years I have watched an entire hockey game, and I probably won't watch another for the next 20 years. Back to football...

Game #1. Lexington Lancers (4-7) vs the AZ Wolves (2-9). Even though a real-life Lancer would take out a Wolf, simply due to reach and technology alone, I like the Wolves to put down the Lancers in this game. That makes me wonder if there are currently any real-life lancers out there anywhere? I am sure someone can post a link as to whether or not there are Lancers still bumping around. We know there are 50 or so wolves in AZ. Both teams are riding out the season, and waiting to regroup next season. Kind of like my team.

Game #2. Falls City Beavers (8-3) vs Minnesota Mafia (7-4). 4th game in a row that the Mafia make this list. I have picked them to win twice and now lose twice. I think the Beavers are a bit too intimidating for the Mafia. Speaking of the Mafia, here is a scene from Goodfellas... Great frickin movie.
Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?
Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.
[laughs]
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Henry Hill: Jus...
Tommy DeVito: What?
Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy!
Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.
BANG!!! That was funny stuff right there.

Game #3. Toronto Blitz (5-6) vs Canberra Coneheads (3-8). If I am not mistaken, this is the 1st appearance for both of these teams. Is that because they have not been in good match-ups, or that they have been overshadowed by so many other good match-ups in this elite league? The Coneheads are an interesting team, they have a pot leaf as their avatar -- is that insinuating that smoking herb turns you into a Conehead? Is this the same Conehead from SNL fame or another type of Conehead? Are there other types of Coneheads? Back to the Blitz, I got nothing, nada, zilch; a Blitz is an action, not a noun, so I guess people in Toronto could easily get Blitzed, and that could be the reference here. Or it could just be that this team likes to blitz the QB a lot, but then, where is the fun in that name? I will go with the Blitzed out of their mind team beating the conical domers.

Game #4 -- game of the week. B Buccs (11-0) vs Brussels Buckeyes (10-1). Finally, these two juggernauts meet on the field. No more talk, no more hyperbole, it is time to put up or shut up. That was pretty good, huh? Isn't that the way NFL announcers all sound like going into big games?? I felt like Al Michaels a little bit for a second. As for the game, I could see either team winning. I could see one team holding their cards until playoff time, and the other team trying to send a message now -- and vice versa. Who do I choose? I choose the BBs to win, and the BBs to lose. I think the league comes down to 4 teams, these two, and KC DD and the Blood Leopards. The amazing thing is that three out of the top four teams are all in the same conference, so one of them is not even going to play in the conference championship game. This game goes a long way in determining playoff seeding. I would treat this as a playoff game if I were the owner of either team. Alrighty then, I choose the Buckeyes to hand the Buccs their first loss. If the Buccs then go on to beat the KC DD's, and all three end the season at 15-1, who gets the #1 seed? Just curious, but it could happen.

that hockey game was a good watch, I watch a few NHL games a season when the wings are on nation TV.

amazing we made a write up but to tell you the truth it's about all the bad decisions their DC makes ........
namely me

That was the first time I watched a hockey game in full EVER. Great game, but not my sport.

As far as Game 1, I like the Buccs to win, but we'll see...I kind of hope the Bucks win just so they won't take it out on the Kraken later

Thanks for the great post as always!

This needs more... like "the team that scores the most points will likely win the game", "football is a mans game, played by men, in a quest for the ultimate prize", "There are 11 people on the field from each team at a time, or it's a penalty".

I agree, I will try to do better. Sorry I let you down.

The Brussels team has the D to stop us..........do we have the D to stop them>??

As far as game planning goes, the Buccaneers are VERY easy to figure out.
The Buckeyes on the other hand are a little more diverse.
Hopefully it will be as good as all have predicted. We usually hang with anyone, but have not been able to overcome SSB teams yet.
If our D can keep it close, the Bucs may pull it off. But, looking over my D, we have weak points, and they do stick out like a sore thumb.......

Best of luck Brussels......
