1 Uganda Silverbacks (9-0) "I'm too sexy for your party, too sexy for your party, no way I'm disco dancing..." That's what was booming out over the team bus as the Silverbacks drove back from an away game at Angola (only South African teams can afford plane rides, sadly). ABD fought valiantly, but just couldn't hold back the Sexy ones. 21-14, Silverbacks lead as the 2nd half was closing out, and Uganda QB Zidane hooks up with WR Ryan Link for a 71 yd, mostly RAC TD. Moments later, after a 3 and out by ABD, the Frenchman Zidane stuck another dagger in Angola's belly, conducting the two minute office like (if I knew the name of a single conductor, great or not, I'd stick it here), putting Uganda up 35-14 at the half -- and held off ABD from there on out, to take it 44-22, firmly establishing Uganda as numero primero. Next up: Kilimanjaro Sting (7-2)
2 Ivory Coast Breakers (9-0) Not a whole lot of trouble against Mayotte, winning handily, 58-10. HB Tiger Bay pulled an Al Bundy and racked up over 150 yards for the Breakers. QB Colt Stinger had a pretty good day, despite being hurried 17 times and sacked 6. And DE Bammin Bird and LB Pretty Boy Floyd just abused MMM QB Testecouvert, combining for 13 sacks with Floyd picking off Testecouivleret in the first quarter for a 51 yd interception return for a TD. Ivory Coast is looking as much like the no.1 team as Uganda lately - and in two games these titans will clash (minus stop-motion animation). Next up: Deutschland Doom (2-7)
3 Kalahari Bushmen (9-0) Being undefeated is an auto-berth to the top 3. Kalahari abused the Dogs of War 50-6, but it could have been worse if not for two Bushmen turnovers. The game was out of reach by the end of the first half, and the Bushmen just shut down the DoW offense all game long. Despite the one interception, Kalahari QB Mishkin played a great game, completing 20 of 38 for 376 yds and 3 TDs. Some really big games remaining on the schedule, but the Bushmen have made a great run so far. Next up: Mayotte (5-4)
4 Angola Blood Diamonds (8-1) If they could take a mulligan on the last three minutes of the second quarter, it could have been a different story this week. However, ABD now falls with a similar margin of loss to Uganda as Mayotte. In real life football, this wouldn't mean much. In GLB, well... they haven't exactly figured out how to make dumb ass luck as much of a factor. Or "good days and bad days." Now all the talk radio shows in Angola are worried: Mayotte lost to Kilimanjaro and Ivory Coast by bigger margins than against ABD. After a vacation week against Nigerian, they'll get to find out exactly where they stack up against those two. Next up: Nigerian (1-8)
5 MaRAWK!! o (7-2) 126-0 over the Barcelona Blaze as MaRAWK continues their jr. division tour. Next up: P-Town (0-9)
6 Kilimanjaro Sting (7-2) Deutschland Doom defense = butter. HBs Fast Times and Pony Express = Hot Knife. No offense to the Doom D, they're not the only ones looking spreadable over toast and tasty this season. Time for the Sting to buckle down: Uganda and ABD in consecutive games. No picnic. Unless it's a picnic where ants get in your food, your girlfriend is stung by yellowjackets, and a rabid squirrel locks itself in your car. Next game: Uganda (9-0)
7 Mayotte Metal Militia (5-4) Worst loss of the season against Ivory Coast. QB Testicouviellreatrelllaou was harassed worse than a baby-seal clubber at a PETA convention. In fact, Testeatcoucverrart must've felt a bit like the baby seal in that scenario. ICB just shut down the MMM. The nightmare streak isn't quite over yet. The MMM have a shot at an upset, but after 4 straight losses, they might not be feeling it. Next up: Kalahri (9-0)
8 The Dead Presidents (6-3) The best teams always find a way to win, and that's what TDP did against P-Town. Their secret? Score at least 3 TDs every quarter and don't let the other team have an inch of positive yardage. A controversial strategy, but it worked. Next up: Sahara (1-8)
9 Dogs of War (3-6) After a 6-50 L against Kalahari, a 5 game losing skid and the worst start for the Dogs since season 10. For any shot at the playoffs, the Dogs can't afford to lose more than one more game, so every game is a must win.
10 Santa Ana Swine Flu (2-7) Father and son team Hands McBack and Hands McBack Jr combined for over 550 yds in this win over Nigerian. More Jr division games coming up for the SASF should make this season get a little more entertaining for the Swine Fluheads (that's what the team photo is, right? A person with swine flu and their eyes swole shut?). Next up: Barcelona Blaze (1-8)
11 Covington Black Knights (5-4) Nice win streak going for the Black Knights. A 178-7 win over Sahara gives them three straight. Next up is a little more challenging game (hopefully). Next game: Dogs of War (3-6).
12 Barcelona Blaze (1-8) Not a fun one last week for the Blaze, surely, falling 0-126 to MaRawk. Things get a little more interesting next game vs. the Swine Flu, a team they beat 26-21 last season. Next up: Santa Ana (2-7)
13 Nigerian Nightmares (1-8) 10-55 vs Santa Ana. A rough season so far for the Nightmares, but a few competitive looking games ahead still. Unfortunately, next week is not one of them. Next game: ABD (8-1)
14 Deutschland Dööm (2-7) 0-106. At this point, I'm starting to get sleepy. So I'll just say this: Friday Night Lights is a damn good TV show. If you like football, or you like damn good TV shows, watch it. I don't want to see FNL go the way of Arrested Development. Sorry for a lack of anything relevant, Doom
. Next up: Ivory Coast (9-0)
15 Sahara ShadowChasers (1-8) Lost by alot to Covington. I have a friend that works for Family Guy. I wish I worked for Family Guy. Next up: The Dead Presidents (6-3)
16 P-Town Ballaz (0-9) DEAR MISTER PRESIDENT: Congratulations on winning the election. I always knew you would win, and not that other guy. I told all my friends that. You can ask them. Mister President, let's get down to business. One of your first jobs, and most important jobs, will be to appoint ambassadors to other countries. I am pleased to inform you that I am available to become your ambassador to any of the following countries: HAWAII—This is one of my favorite countries. But there is a problem here: The people worship volcanoes. One of my first actions, Mister President, would be to outlaw this practice. At first the people might resist, but later they would get down on their knees and thank their lucky stars. BRAZIL—The name of this country gave us the words "bra" and "zillion." Also, it is home to the Brazil nut. My goal, Mister President, would be to eat as many Brazil nuts as I could, day in and day out. Then I would invite my friend Don to come visit me. He is deathly allergic to Brazil nuts. The hope is that just by shaking his hand, I could make him pass out. Some people say this is a long shot. But what's the alternative? Unfortunately, I believe, it's global warming. FRANCE—As you are probably aware, Mister President, there is a place in France where the women wear no pants. This is a disgrace. Also, there is a region of France called "Champagne." The idea of women with no pants drinking Champagne is one which I would make my top priority. Next up: MaRawk!! o (7-2)
