This forum has less action than my bedroom, and thats saying something. What happened to the fun loving, smack talking bunch of goons that I used to associate with? It used to be like a bunch of drunk monkeys with keyboards in here and now its all nicey nicey, good game sir, blah blah blah. Makes me sick. Since I snuck three players back into the league this season I figured I may as well make picks for once. I will admit to not really paying attention to the league this season so bear with me.
Lets start in the East....
SquareEnix All-Stars vs International Falls Bronkos- the fact the Star Trek all-stars have not figured out a way to hack into the GLB motherboard or mainframe or whatever you geeks call it and get yourself into the pro-leagues is the biggest shock here. For the Bronkos...its just the same old Bronkos. This team is about as exciting as watching a horse crap dry. Never real good, never real bad..... Take the nerds to win.
Cleveland vs Hell- What is the difference between Cleveland and Hell???? Hell has a furnace and better looking women. Reapers to pull off the upset.
Texas Hogsnakes vs Weyburn- You ever hear about the guy who was driving by Weyburn? He saw a kid walking along the side of the road and the kid was only wearing one shoe. Guy asks the kid "did you lose a shoe?". Kid responds...."Nope...found one!". Hogsnakes win. Weyburn continues to be the armpit of Saskatchewan.
Texas Death dealers vs Halifax- word is the CFL is seriously considering putting an expansion team in Halifax. However, they have agreed to hold off on that until Toronto gets a professional hockey team. Dealers to win...Maple Leafs to suck for another 60 years.
Niagara Maulers vs New Brunswick Beatdown- who the hell are these maulers guys? And being from Niagara maybe you should be realistic with your nickname and call yourself the Gropers or Feel-ya-uppers. Take the Beatdown to win.
Alert Sentinels vs Little Rock Razorbacks- the poor Razorbacks, getting the Petrino treatment in the end. Just think though...it could be worse. You could have a logo that looks like a roided out Peter Pan with a sword like the Sentinels. Take Peter and Tinkerbell to win.
Kingston vs Winnipeg- Two other teams that I know nothing about. I will take Winnipeg to win based on the most realistic nickname. Just like in the Flintstones...they still put kids on Wooly Mammoths to take them to school in Manitoba.
Ontario Beavers vs Lake Michigan- lets move on now, shall we?
In the West.......
Fleas vs Dogs- an age old battle as the dogs try and scratch out a win. wow...that was just brutal... even for me. Take the Fleas to spoon out another victory over the mutts.
Saskatoon vs Atlanta- I would just like to take a moment to congratulate Saskatoon as being named Canada's most dangerous city for 2 years in a row. I know Winnipeg was really pushing hard to take the title from you, but thanks to all the violent crime you guys eeked out a win. Way to go!!!!! Nice Effort!!! Falcons win.
Darkside vs Snoqualmie Wildcats- the only thing wild in Snoqualmie is bingo night at the legion when the old girls drink too much Baby Duck wine. Take the Cowboys to win.
Canada vs Ohio Valley- I take the legends only because the Defenders will probably be busy intercepting more Russian bombers over the north of Canada like the Canadian Air Force did 2 weeks ago. Game of the week though.
Berlin Kreuzberg Red Stars vs Regina- Everyone is Regina has to be disappointed at the 3rd place showing in the list of Canada's most dangerous cities. Where did it all go wrong? Perhaps it was raising the drinking age in that city to 9 years of age that calmed things down. The stars win. outlaws drink.
North Alaska Insomniacs vs Rochester Red Raiders- the fact I look and the Raiders still have the same crappy logo (a drunkenly drawn version of the chicago black hawks from what I can tell) means they are going to lost this game.
caribou vs wolverines- gotta go with the predator in this one. venison is on the menu for Winnipeg.
Far north vs Albany- now I am just guessing, but I have never heard of a large native population in Albany. But then again, my home town hockey team is called the Tigers and they play a team named the Hurricaines....and both cities are in the middle of the bald assed Canadian prairie. The day I get attacked by a Tiger here is when a Hurricaine touches down up the highway. Take the Hoggs to win for no real apparent reason.
I think thats it. If I missed anyone....tough.
