We're starting in the Alpha this week. A couple exciting games this week, and even more games with playoff implications.
Whitechapel Rippers 50 Tilburg Fighters 3
No surprises here. The Rippers take care of business once again, building an early lead and then running their way to victory. Shifty McSpeed ran for 182 yards and 3 touchdowns in the effort. Rippers' tightend Udont Wantnone had a big day turning his 3 receptions into 62 yards and 2 scores. 41 yards came on this play in the second quarter, giving the Rippers a 14-0 lead.

Liverpool Scousers 18 Massillon Grizzlies 15
Two Alpha heavyweights went at it in Liverpool. The Scousers have run off 5 straight victories now and are looking to be a very scary team late in the season. Only Whitechapel owns a longer win-streak in Alpha. An outstanding defensive effort by both teams, neither offense was able to reach the endzone. Freddy the Foot was a perfect 6 for 6 on the day. A miss from 40 yards in the 3rd quarter by Jimmy Kick-me-inda was the difference in the score. This interception by Nathan Anderson in Massillon territory with only 12 seconds remaining in the game allowed the Scousers to set up for the game-winning field goal and avoid overtime.

Scotland Celtics 16 Rotterdam Harbourmasters 37
The Harbourmasters bounce back after last week's close loss to the Scousers with a solid victory over Scotland. After trading scores early, Max Powers broke free for this 51 yard touchdown pass that started a scoring run by Rotterdam that Scotland couldn't answer. Powers finished the game with 148 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.

Amsterdam Fire 71 Berlin Blitzkrieg 0
No drama in the Amsterdam - Berlin matchup this week. The Fire jumped out early and never looked back. This pass from Muscle to Harrison was the fifth first half touchdown for Amsterdam.

West Yorkshire Bling 7 Barcelona Bulls 31
The Bulls dominating win makes the road difficult for the Bling. Barcelona won with solid offense and a smothering defense that kept West Yorkshire off the scoreboard. Cornerback Bruce Guntner was everywhere with 9 tackles and 2 interceptions. This pick in the first quarter off the hands of receiver Chives Linden killed the first Bling drive and allowed the Bulls to get on the scoreboard first with a 42 yard Doggie Wells field goal.

Ljublana Chamois Scabs 34 Judah Lions 31
An exciting game between the Scabs and Lions came down to the final seconds of regulation. The win gives the Scabs sole possession of 8th spot in the standings and a tenuous hold on the final playoff spot in Alpha. Randy Marsh caught 9 passes for 139 yards for the Lions, including this spectacular play on third down to tie the game up with just over a minute to play in the fourth quarter.

On the next possession, Mikal Gunner finds Jack Cuervo on this third down play to get them into field goal range.

Zurich Gnomes 17 Madrid Hares 24
Zurich came up short in their comeback attempt, getting two fourth quarter touchdowns to get within 7. A road win by Madrid moves them just one game behind the Scabs and the coveted final playoff spot. The Hares had a little luck on their side at the beginning of this one. After fumbling at the 1 yard line, right guard Jebat Buffet recovered and fell into the endzone for the score.

Cherry Valley Wizards 6 Paris Penguins 37
The Penguins continue to show improvement since their 1-9 start. Paris wins its second straight game with a 37-6 drubbing of Cherry Valley. It was all Ahmad Muhammad early on. He had three touchdowns in the first quarter, including this 80 yard run following a missed Wizards field goal.
