Good day to you all and welcome to Casual Pro News. I am your host Jayadamo and we have an exciting show for you today. Let's start off by discussing what has happened these first four weeks of the season.
Recap:
Western Conference
Preseason Picks (Actual place in standings)
1. Metal Militia (5th) Rough early season for my projected conference champ. 1-3 with their lone win coming against the struggling Wolfpack. 2 of their 3 losses were by FGs and the other by 9 to the Phrenzy. This team could easily bounce back into the mix as they are only 1.5 games out of 2nd. Up next is the Vols, a team that has never beat them.
2. Shoreline Big Gulp Kickers (4th): My pick to win the title has started off 2-2. Very unexpected for a team with such a potent offense. They have yet to score more than 27 in a game. That only happened a total of 4 times all last season.
3. Philadelphia Phrenzy (3rd): 2-2 with their losses coming to the Vols and Chiefs by a total of 13 points. Up next is Shoreline to see who finished the first run through conference opponents 3-2 and who finishes 2-3.
4. Charlestown Chiefs (2nd): The Chiefs are 3-1 with their only loss coming to the Vols by 2. A failed 2 point conversion with 1:56 remaining and an INT at the Vols 46 one minute later is all that kept them from 4-0
5. Arctic Smurfin' Wolfpack (6th): Tough start for the newcomers to the West. After blowout losses to the Vols and Phrenzy they had a 2 point loss to the Militia and 10 points to Shoreline. Definitely moving in the right direction. Can they get their 1st win against the Chiefs next week before starting out of conference play?
6. Hattgenstein Volunteers (1st) My preseason pick to finish last, the Vols have surprised early and are 4-0 after getting a life line from Texas Tech to get them back in the league. Only thing stopping them from a 5-0 clean sweep of the conference is a game against the Metal Militia, a team the Vols have never beat.
Eastern Conference
1. Steel City Kops (1st): I was pretty sure the Kops would win the East but I did think they would struggle early due to chemistry. No struggles here, they have been impressive and have a win over the defending champs.
2. Ghost Creek Cowboys (4th): Got the wrong JAndrews team in 2nd place as Nassau is sitting there. They have handed Nassau their only loss.
3. Granite Peak Grizzlies (3rd) The champs started off with a single digit loss at Steel city and a 5 point home loss at home against Nassau. They then won back to back away games at Ghost Creek and River City. A game at Chaos should get them to 3-2.
4. River City Ransom (6th) 0-4 is not where this team thought they would be. A 1 point loss to Chaos and then 3 straight blowout losses has this team on its heels. They need to beat Ghost Creek next week.
5. Nassau Nightmare (2nd) Another team making the most of their 2nd chance at Casual Pro. After finishing 6th in the West they are making the most of their new home in the East. A team that easily could have been a playoff team in the West is now making noise in the house that Steel City built (currently being rented by Granite).
6. Chaos on the Farm (5th): Their only win is currently against the only win less team. They need to pick up the pace or the 4 East playoff spots will be determined early.
Segment 2: Interview with Vols staff
Jay: I would now like to welcome to the show for the 2nd time the Vols staff Sugar Kapaa (OC/DC) and Gmaj (STs coach). Guys I have to say I have been really impressed with your showing these first 4 weeks so I wanted to bring you in to see what has changed. First let me apologize for the lighting, not sure why it is so dark, I can barely see you. Who is that walking around in the back? Is that you Ahoda? I don't remember inviting you.
Ahoda: yes it is me, I happened to be in the neighborhood and came to help with the lighting problem.
Jay: OK, appreciate it. While you are on that we will get the interview started. SK and Gmaj, 4-0 is honestly amazing. After a 7-9 season I would have thought we had a better shot at starting 0-4. What are you guys doing different?
Sugar and Gmaj: *Making muffled sounds*
Jay: I can't understand what...... wait, is that duct tape on your mouth?
Ahoda: Oh, sorry about that, they had some dental work done and they have to wear the tape for protection.
Jay Not sure what kind of dentist they use but ok I guess. Let's try this, blink once for yes and twice for no. Did you guys magically find an answer to beating these teams?.................. I can't tell if you are blinking...... is that?..... are you wearing large sunglasses? Where did those come from?
Ahoda: Oh sorry about that, they had appointments at the optometrist and have to wear those to protect their eyes.
Jay Well this interview is off to a bad start. I will just hand you guys my laptop and you can type in the answers. *Jay goes to hand the laptop to Sugar when Ahoda snatches it and breaks it over his leg*.
Ahoda: Oh sorry, it fell.
Jay Well we are out of time and this was a total waste of it. Thanks for your time I guess.

That will do it for this edition. If you are tired at work just set up a ladder and sleep at the bottom. When someone finds you just say you fell and lost consciousness. Have a great day and see you again after week 8!
