Foot of Fury!
Scottsdale 3
Bel Air 13
Oh how the punting position is but a lonely and unrewarding profession. Often do you receive the blame when making mistakes but rarely are your exploits recognized! Perhaps it is a testament to the overall quality of the game or to the incredible talent of the player, but Karios Kasra has indeed stolen the show for Bel Air on this night.
In a game that saw very little offense from either side, the thundering blasts from Kasra's foot swayed field position in favor of the Beardogs all night. I'm sure we've all heard the saying : he was in the zone. On this night, no better phrase could describe the towering missiles that took off the golden foot of Kasra. When the smoke settled, 242 yards of punting mayhem lay in his wake. Beware Western Conference of the USA's A #7 league, or Karios may launch precise missiles very deep into your territory!
In the aftermath of the Karios Chaos, Beard OG powered ahead to score the Beardogs only TD and lead a sluggish offense with 81.5 yds on the ground. What can be said about The Big Ticket's 3 interceptions? Pre-game we asked him how the recent removal of his protege, the Little Ticket, would affect his poise on the field :
The Big Ticket : "I'm not gonna lie... it hurt. That kid gave nothing but heart out on the field. I'm doin this one for him."
There is no question his heart was in the right place, but the Little Ticket's absence clearly affect BT. After the game, the coach assured me Little Ticket is ready to go backing up his mentor in the Beardogs next matchup against RGB and their new freak of nature Awooga.
AROUND THE LEAGUE
The Ambridge Brigade haven't managed to post a W this year, but they've fought hard thus far. Unlucky for them, RGB resurrected Secretariat from the grave in the form of Johnny Awooga who not only bulldozed their defense, but literally crushed their soul. Last play of the game? 5 broken tackles, a 17 yard gain, and a touchdown. The field was wet after the game, but there was no rain in the forecast... it was soaked with Ambridge tears.
Oakland 20
Portland 6
Oakland established the run early and often in this contest, racking up 219.5 rushing yards upon conclusion. Portland? They chimed in with a measely 23 rushing yards and a 1 yard per rush average. They did, however, find a shining star in the massacre : Dick N Balzonia. With 13 receptions for 104.5 yards in the losing effort, he earns our player of the game honors. Hopefully Portland can find a way to utilize him in the coming weeks and avoid another embarassing loss.
Grand Haven 3
New Brunswick 20
The Mist suffered their 3rd straight loss but it wasn't as bad as the score shows. Grand Haven was able to tally 338.5 yards of total offense to New Brunswicks 341, they just couldn't finish drives. The story of this game? Turnovers. NBW had a +2 turnover ratio and in a game as tight as this one was, a two turnover difference can spell doom.
Hartford 13
Waco 21
A doctor was most certainly in the building for this contest. Hugh Laurie knifed through the Hartford defense, posting 3 TDS, two on passes of 20 yards or more, and 304.5 yards! His surgical precision was perfect, his scalpel swift, and the operation was over quickly. Sadly, the Hartford Hellhounds didn't survive...
Denver 44
Chicago 0
A rep from the Clams told me last week that their win against Grand Haven wasn't flashy, but it was just what they needed to generate some positive momentum and get on a roll. Now? Momentum crushed. Roll? Gone. Cup? Shattered. Denver blasted Chicago's D for 524.5 yards of total offense. Thats just a good, old fashioned shalacking.
Miami 14
Dallas 20
Dallas may have won the game on the back of its 5.8 yard average per rush, but play of the game (and possibly of the week) honors go to Miami's The Smoke for an incredible 25.5 yard touchdown reception, the likes of which hasn't been seen so far this young season. The Smoke proved there are definitly no mirrors in his game, he's as pure as can be!
Las Vegas 24
Spicewood 3
How often do backup quarterbacks steal the spotlight? Rarely? Well, this is one of the few cases then. The Stunners backup QB, Courtney Cowan, absolutely snatched the show with a 5 for 7, 146.5 total yard, 20.9 yard per attempt, 2 touchdown night. The media, as ruthless and blunt as always, have already raised questions in Las Vegas if a change will be made to give this star a chance to shine. So far the verdict is still out.
Ambridge 0
RGB 35
Johnny Awooga... that is all...
CONCLUDING STATEMENT
The blowouts are back! Though many of these games weren't close, the definite cover story lay out in RGB where they unearthed a juggernaut. Can he leap over buildings with a single bound? Is he faster then a speeding bullet? We don't have answers to those questions yet, but he's definitly Ambridge-proof as he swatted the Brigade defenders away time after time. Where did this masked maker of mayhem come from? From where does he draw his mystical powers? We here at the Billionaire are awed and captivated by this new figure, and hope to discover the secrets behind the shaded past of Johnny Awooga!
