Welcome to my season 19 prediction post. This is my first season doing this for a team I do not own, but since I have a bunch of players on the Engineers, they are worth my effort. I review the games, and pick 2 match-ups from each conference that could go either way. Basically, I review 4 games, bullshit a little bit, attach some links, and eventually pick winners. I usually get every team involved at some point, unless it goes CPU. My posts are not for kids, I may say some shit, and have links that are inappropriate for viewers under the age of 16. No nudity, but I do like my women. Everything I say is “tongue-in-cheek” just screwing around, if you take offense, you are most likely too sensitive, or French. Game 1 is always the toughest for me, because of team chemistry issues, and the simple fact that preseason games are meaningless. One last note, I never involve my own team in my prediction posts, however, since I don’t own a team in this league, everybody is fair game.
Game #1. Mean Machine (22/23) vs Blood River Sharks (22/23). Ok, here are 2 teams that confuse me a little bit, for different reasons. The Mean Machine have a gazillion possible sources for the team name origin – see this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_Machine Are they referencing the soccer movie? Or maybe Dick Dastardly’s car? Side note – how did Hanna Barbera get away with naming a villain Dick Dastardly? Or, is Mean Machine a reference to this movie’s football team? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071771/quotes “I think I broke his freaking neck”, classic. As for the Sharks, is the Blood River also known as the Ncome River, South Africa? I don’t think there are sharks in that river, sharks usually live in oceans, so the team name confuses me. Maybe little sharks live in rivers, but how scary are they? Why would we fear them? Wouldn’t they just nibble on our toes a bit? Probably not enough to make an entire river bloody. As for South Africa, I like this (especially #3), http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/05/13/worldwide-wednesday-the-9-hottest-south-african-women/ As for the actual GLB game, I like the Sharks to take a bite out of the big bad Meanies.
Game #2. Arizona WildCards (23/24) vs Lake Titicaca Incan Emperors (25/25). Well, it did not take long for me to get my hands on the great titty-cacans. What a great name, loved it as a kid, love saying it now. Titi, titti, titty! Great start to a word! As for caca, I think I was like 1 yr old when I first heard that word. My little Mexican friend Gerald used it, after he took one. He said, “Mama, I go caca”. I would prefer to separate titi from caca, but, the combo is fun to say none the less. Let’s focus on the first four letters of the word, shall we? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_do2BnsSjtI Cool. As for the WildCards, here are mine. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/390011-the-top-30-sexiest-female-poker-players-of-all-time I hope that is where you guys were going with the team name. Emperors rule the Arizonians (or are they Arizonites? Arizonans? Arizonese? Arizonanians? – fu*k if I know)
Game #3. Grass Valley Tunnel Trolls (25/24) vs Bridgeport Bulldogs (21/23). I am not sure where Grass Valley is, but the Tunnel Trolls may be based on this game from the 70s’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnels_%26_Trolls I think T&T got jobbed by D&D. Personally, I like T&A better than either one. As for the Bulldogs, where the hell is Bridgeport? I know where to find the Georgia Bulldogs, at least, the ones I like. http://coedmagazine.com/2008/07/29/university-of-georgia/ Interesting match-up, one team has a higher effective level than their average level, the other has a lower one. I will take the Valley Trolls to bulldoze the Bulldogs.
Game #4. Les Fleaux de Jondi (21/24) vs Gaul Visigoths (24/25). Hmmm, I just realized, that both of these teams may have French origins. What a coinkidink! I may have made a comment about the French earlier, but don’t worry about that. What the hell is a Jondi anyway? Let alone, a Les Fleaux de Jondi? Dude, I got nothing. I think you made that shit up completely. Anyway, here is the best game show ever. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=37f_1228973812 As for the Gauls, also mostly French in origin, http://www.orbilat.com/Encyclopaedia/V/Visigoths.html is this where you are going with that name? Yall did not do very well, historically. Oh hell, watch this. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=380_1180487333 Maybe I do like the French. As for the game, I like the Visigoths to strike down the Jondi. Finally, the Visigoths have the coolest avatar I have seen so far in this league, lightning = cool, in my book.
J out.
