October 13 - RECAP

First of all, a huge Thank You to all the players who came out this past Saturday. I know it gets said with almost every recap, but it really is a great time to hang out with friends and meet new people. And none of it would happen without you guys…Thanks.


This week’s biggest story started to take shape well before the first series was ever played on Saturday morning. Papi Schremmer, one of the most colorful & controversial players in the league, decided to end his month-long holdout and make is inaugural appearance of the season. By now, I’m sure you all have seen the note posted in his locker leading up to the much-anticipated debut, so I’ll spare you the time. He wasted no time in making his presence on the field felt, turning in a two interception/two TD pass performance. He showed good hands with his picks but not-so-good speed in returning them. “Hey, it’s my first game back. Last season, and later this season, those are pick 6’s, “ a winded Papi gasped as he enjoyed some of his own popcorn he had prepared.

The rest of Papi’s team: Big Game Hunter, Hollandjagt, Avery, Sweet Feet Darrell, Big Mike V, Gustavo, and Favre.

Against Prime Time Casey Ford, Derek, Josh, Baylor Dave, Guy, Easy E Reed, Ricky the Rocket, and RB.

Thanks to a couple early picks by safeties Mike V and Favre, followed by a couple Favre TD passes, their team took an early 2-0 lead. But Prime Time was able to find the seam in the 2 Deep Zone defense for a couple answer TDs, and it was a back and forth fight from there on out. The game was marked by solid defense throughout by both teams, as a few QBs threw multiple INTs, lead by none other than Favre himself with 3, one resulting in a return for a TD by Ricky the Rocket.


“It’s nothing new for me to throw a couple INTs in a game,” said Favre in what has to be one of the all-time SMFL understatements.


“I just care about the win.”


To set the record straight, Favre’s team actually lost, so the SMFL will be looking into any possible painkiller addictions that have popped up in his past.

This week’s MVP has to go to one of the preseason favorites for this award…Prime Time Casey Ford. He accounted for 5 TDs in leading his team to victory. He contributed on both sides of the ball with a TD pass, 3 TDs caught, and an INT returned for a TD. He continually found holes in the zone defense and outran the coverage on multiple occasions. His team had trailed 6-5 at one point but battled back to 6-6 with the ball. Just when the defense thought it had stiffened and would get it back for a chance to win, Prime Time found an opening in the end zone and turned out the lights on another great game in the SMFL.
