Recap from November 17th

We had great numbers once again for this past SMFL week. The following players made various impacts to the game!

Peg Leg Casey Ford: Somehow managed to sprain an ankle and was still able to run like a one-legged kangaroo.
Big Game Hunter: Paired up with "Harrington" Farrellio for the first time in league history... needless to say, the combination of the two made for an unstoppable force! Undefeated on this weekend.
Rocket Ricky: totaled 4 TD's during the first game... basically he imposed his will on any defender. MVP style - Week 7 officially.
Looney: Provided the photography and the cheer leading for week 7 by subjecting his wife to the greatness, that is, the SMFL. Thanks to Mrs. Looney for supporting the league by supporting her man's unquenchable thirst for football.
Harrington Farrellio: Received his first injury of the year, minor concussion, hence the reason for such a short recap. The following 30 mins after the head to ground incident are undetermined for the player formerly known as Romo, and since most of the game occurred during the "foggy" 30 mins, the recap has been abbreviated as follows:

"Players made plays! Favre threw one too many passes off his back foot for interceptions. Peg Leg "high stepped" in a touchdown pass and was immediately bulldozed by T-Dar and Big Game Hunter. General Josh saved the day with 4 TD drives to win the game, and Sweet Feet caught 3 passes for 36 yards. Of those yards, 1 yard was gained after the catch... he had to run 24 yards horizontally to gain one yard vertically. He sat on the bench with an oxygen mask after those plays."

Next week will have a better recap (one that actually happened) .

Thanks to the Commish for letting me (Harrington Farrellio) write the recap this week.

Notes

We have had many injuries during the leagues two year tenure. Although we are touch football, many seem to take that too lightly when preparing for the games.

At a recent gathering, PrimeTime Peg Leg proclaimed:

"It’s a tough league. A man's league. You better bring your A game or else you’re going to get hurt."

Game Day Scratches:

Bronx Brock - Broken Finger (Out for six weeks)

"Zephry" Avery : "I didn't want to go out like this...but I gotta pay the bills. And my baby's momma."

Here is a picture of what "Zephry" will be doing instead.

Good Luck Zephry

November 10th - RECAP

Thanks to all of the players who showed up to make it another wonderful Saturday for the SMFL.

For the first time in SMFL history, two of the big time regulars were paired together to form what could have been the strongest team in recent memory. Big Game and Prime Time set aside their differences for one Saturday morning and united to form the uber-team. They were joined by Baylor Dave, Matt Smith, Iman the Quick, T-Dar, and Eric “the Boss” Haas.

They took on a team of the always in tune roommates Papi and Favre, along with Easy E Reed, Zephyr Avery, Gustavo, Brian, and RB.

Papi and Favre’s team started out hot, jumping to a 3-0 lead after TD grabs by Easy E and Papi, as well as a timely Pick 6 from Easy E. (A vital point that should not be understated is that the first of the game was dominated by inconsistency because there were some late-comers and the teams had odd numbers for awhile.) Now that I got Big Game’s disclaimer out of the way, I’ll continue with the recap…

As they have done time and again, Big Game and Prime Time weren’t about to go this easily. They threatened with at quick score to make it 3-1, but soon found themselves down 5-1. Those of you familiar with the SMFL know that this is hardly a safe lead, even in a game to 7, so it’s no surprise that with the inspiration of T-Dar they eventually got to within 6-5. However, it was with much blood and sweat that Papi and Favre’s team was able to close the door on another close game, which has become the norm on Saturday mornings.

I want to cut the recap short this week, and give some well-deserved space to a man who has come to be known as a “Friend of the SMFL.” Our man Gustavo played in his final game of this season (we hope it’s not forever). This likable hard worker has reached the end of his international office exchange for E&Y and will be heading back to Mexico this week. Let me say for the whole league that there is no doubt he will be missed. How could you not enjoy the game when you saw how much he was?! We did our best afterwards to send him off with well-wishes, and we have even granted him full authority to begin the SMFL-Mexico upon his arrival home. Gustavo, all of our resources and support is available at your request. Thanks for hanging out with us while you were here!

Here is Gustavo in his all too familiar defensive prowl (the defensive player in the middle). I'm pretty sure he intercepted the pass on this play. So Stealthy!

Game Stats will be a little late this week. We will get those up as soon as possible!

November 3rd - Tournament RECAP

WOW - Thanks to all players who participated in the first SMFL Tournament! With 19 players showing up to dazzle all with their talents, this week was certainly one of the leagues best in history.

Special shout out to three rookies making their debuts on Saturday:

Big Game Hunter Guest: Soon to be "Married" Mike - Hopefully, this won't be his last time to show up on Saturdays... yet another SMFL participant engages in the white bells of matrimony. (Yes I know it's a bad nickname... but keep coming out so that we can establish a better one.)

Bronx Brock: Who dominated Team 1 (specifically Butterfly Davis) with his "slow and go" deep routes.

Guy Mitchell's roommate: "Scrappy" Ben - showing all that he's not afraid to jump or dive for any ball as long as it means his team gets into the endzone. Classic SMFL baller.

Lets get to the games!

Each team was able to play three games (one game against each of the other teams). Here are the team records for the day:

Team 1 Record: 0-3


1. Favre Sandwick

2. Jagt Holland

3. Papi Schremmer

4. Butterfly Davis

5. Big Mike V

After the game, Team Captain Favre had this to say:
Our team was 0-3, but could have been 2-1 if it weren't for the Colt "doing my best VY" Young comebacks led by Peg Leg and Big Game in our first two games.
In the third game, we never had a chance...Farrellio's squad was just too good for us... We got outplayed... I question the kind of heart our team has... it was embarrassing.

Team 2 Record: 2-1


1. Peg Leg Casey

2. D-Newb

3. Baylor David

4. Rhino Reist


Team 3 Record: 1-2

1. Big Game Hunter

2. Runnin RB

3. General Josh

4. Guy Mitchell

5. "Married" Mike


Team 4 Record: 3-0 CHAMPIONS!!!!!

1. Romo Farrellio

2. Bronx Brock

3. Zephry Avery

Game Changing Plays!

Play Breakdown:
1. Rhino to Peg Leg Casey Ford- stopped on the 5 yard line
(sub-plot: catch a glimpse of "Butterfly"Davis' nipple: WARNING - PARTIAL NUDITY)
2. 3 Yard scramble by Rhino.
(sub-plot: Jud doesn't know what the score of the game is at this point)
3. Perfect zone defense, Rhino throws into traffic and gets picked off by Farve.
(Listen to the crowds excitement!)

Also, here are a few entertaining quotes from players in the league:


T-Dar in response to the "One Lateral Rule"

The only thing proved by Exhibit "A" is that the SMFL's short-sighted commissioner is hindering league exposure and growth. Every week there are a bushel of games which end with a last ditch kick returner or ball carrier attempting to lateral and then the subsequent ball carrier thinking "I can get there on my own." You never see these plays on Youtube or SportsCenter. The selfish attitude of players trying to score on their own in the midst of utter hopelessness is not what the SMFL stands for. The SMFL should adopt a more reasonable rule which allows for selfless play. We should try and emulate the great Trinity Tigers or the Cal Golden Bears circa 1982... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_VGBxfAdDM . (Pay attention to what happens to band members who come on the field early).

Because or the selfish and short sighted Commissioner, I will be protesting this "Tournament" which is an obvious ploy for the Commish to stack his own team through pregame rosters and generate more TV revenue which the league will undoubtedly not share with the lowly foot soldiers.





Papi Schremmer speaks out at Friday's pre-game press conference:

I want to play, and I want to make a promise to anybody that picks up TO. You will not be disappointed. Get Your Popcorn Ready.


TO Has been working out. WOOOOOO...I'm guaranteeing my game of the year.
